Chapter 469(1/2)
Standing in front of the window of the head coach's office at the Newcastle Changton Training Base, he looked at a freight train in the east, rumbling slowly passing by. The front of the car was still swelling with white smoke. Alan patted Du's eyes with deep expectation.
In his eyes, Newcastle was like a train slowly heading towards the light.
In the past season, he led Newcastle to win fifth place in the league, which shocked the entire English football world, and many people even looked forward to his future.
Over the past few years, the head coach position of the top teams in the Premier League has been almost monopolized by foreigners except Ferguson.
For example, Wenger in France, Benitez in Spain, Mourinho and Boas in Portugal, or Ancelotti and Mancini in Italy, etc.
Even Ferguson and Moyes are Scots
The only one who can be called a local coach and has a relatively impressive team performance is Tottenham Hotspur coach Redknapp, but he has been dismissed from Tottenham
Compared with the old coach Redknapp, Alan Pao Du is younger and has more advantages
Newcastle is the most popular team among local fans in England. Before relegation, it was a giant team that was on par with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams. After encountering a relegation nightmare, it returned to the Premier League. The Magpie is also ambitious to revive its past glory and glory.
Last season, Alan filmed Du let all Magpies fans see this ray of hope
Similarly, Alan Paidu himself is full of confidence and expectations for the future. He even wishes that the Premier League will come early.
In the new season, the Magpies' goal is to stabilize the top five in the league and strive for the top four in the league.
As long as you return to the European arena, Newcastle will have a higher stage, and Alan will have a better platform for filming Du.
Thinking of this, this local young coach who was highly anticipated by countless English fans smiled confidently.
"This time, in order to support the team in the competition for Champions League qualification, even the miser chairman Ashley promised to give us a transfer budget of 10 million pounds. We have to think carefully about how to spend this money."
Alan patted Du Huoran and turned around and laughed at the assistants behind him.
That momentum is indeed a very famous handsome style
Especially the confidence, coupled with his pretty handsome appearance, he really has a somewhat convincing temperament.
"Our most important signing now is the midfield, and we must complete the transfer matters as soon as possible."
The head coach asked the assistants to nod and record them carefully.
As for the target of midfield signing, the coaching staff has held a meeting and everyone knows who is the target.
Today's Newcastle can be said to be strong.
The goalkeeper is the Dutch national goalkeeper Tim Kruel, and the defense also includes powerful stars such as Kolochini, David Thornton, Stephen Taylor, and other famous players in the midfield.
The forward line is also dominated by players including Papis Cice, Dembaba, Obettan.
Even former Manchester United player Alan Smith and goalkeeper Foster cannot gain a foothold in the Magpie and are forced to transfer.
It can be seen that Alan Padu's team is indeed very strong.
In terms of fame, Newcastle may not have many big-name stars, but in terms of strength, the Magpie will definitely have the opportunity to compete with the Premier League heroes.
Chief assistant coach John Caffer nodded and said: "After a while, the Premier League will start. Late August is the fourth round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers, and we must adjust the team at that time."
Alan nodded in a hurry, "It's right, the Premier League schedule has come out, and the first game against Tottenham Hotspur is very important. If you play well, we will be under less pressure to play against Chelsea in the second round away."
I won the first game, and the second round was away again, and Chelsea again, so it was nothing to lose.
"The schedule is very favorable for us. In the seventh round of Manchester United, we are at home. Although the tenth round of Liverpool was away, Sunderland and West Bromwich were not strong before, and West Ham United and Swansea were both at home afterwards."
On the table in the coaching staff office, there is a carefully crafted schedule.
Everyone can immediately see the matchup situation above just by scanning the schedule.
Alan Pao Du was able to stay in the Premier League for many years, but she was not a vegetarian.
As soon as the schedule came out, he could immediately see that Newcastle's schedule was quite favorable.
Especially in the 13th round of the league, a key decisive battle he attached the most to, challenging Southampton away
That was when he returned to St. Mary's Stadium after two years of separation
This time, he took the powerful Newcastle and must level the St. Mary's Stadium and avenge his past shame
"In the 13th round of the league, I will play Southampton away. I will win this game at all costs and show our momentum, following closely behind and defeating Stoke City, Wigan and Fulham in one go."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
At that time, Newcastle's ranking can be at least in the top five. Even if the performance of a strong team is better, the top four will be expected.
John Caffer knew very well about the grudge between Alan Padu and Southampton, and also knew what the coach thought.
How could Alan Pao Du miss it if he had a rare opportunity to face the opportunity?
"Show me the schedule for Southampton," said John Caffer.
Soon, an assistant called out the Southampton schedule.
As a result, when the schedule came out, everyone was stunned at first sight
"Good, Southampton won't have a grudge against the FA, right?"
"Isn't that true?"
"Is this a bit outrageous, right?"
"From the first round, Manchester City, Wigan Athletics, Manchester United, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Swansea..."
"This is the schedule to be taught every minute."
"Who said it wasn't? Especially in the first four rounds, I met Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal one after another, and the schedule was also devilish."
"But there are also benefits. They are on the Christmas schedule and there are no strong teams except Arsenal."
"Yes, look at the back. Starting from the twenty-four rounds away game against Manchester United, the remaining fourteen rounds schedule is quite good. We only met three teams, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, but they are all home games."
Alan Paodu nodded and said, "That's the reason, but you must know that the league can't start well. No matter how good the schedule is in the future, it may not be useful. If people's hearts are dispersed, it's scarier than anything else."
As the coach with many years of experience in the Premier League coaching, everyone in Alan Phoenix knows how important the morale of the team is, such as a long-term competition system of the league.
"But this is good, and by the time they meet us, they will probably be exhausted." Alan patted Du and laughed, as if he saw a tired Southampton.
No wonder, before encountering Newcastle in the 13th round, Southampton was almost all top ten teams in the Premier League, except for Aston Villa and Wigan Athletics, including giants like Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal, as well as powerful teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.
In the past two years, even West Ham United, Swansea, Fulham and other teams have been very difficult to play in the Premier League.
When Alan Paodu thought of this, she couldn't help but smile coldly.
The smile was filled with a chilling and gritting hatred.
"Yang Huan, Yang Huan, this time I must pay the most painful price."
"Hey, I said, David, you are not playing with me, right?"
When Alan Padou was brewing hatred at Changdun training base and preparing to take revenge, Yang Huan appeared in the royal box at the Wembley Stadium in London, staring at the pitiful old man in front of him with dissatisfaction.
That was like throwing FA Chairman David Bernstein directly from the stands.
David Bernstein's face was covered in cold sweat, and his back was soaked.
The whole world knows that whoever offends this Young Master Huan will be in trouble.
"Master Huan, how dare I? Yes?"
"You don't dare? Mom Xipi, go and look at the schedule yourself and see what kind of bird schedule you arranged for us in Southampton? Oh my god, I met three wealthy families in the first four rounds. Could it be that I even wronged you?"
When Yang Huan heard this old boy, he was a little angry.
Prince William, who was sitting aside, was not very happy after hearing this.
"David, if you do this, you're a little unkind. No matter how you say it's all friends."
David Bernstein was depressed, and it turned out that he had slapped the horse's leg.
"Young Master Huan, Your Highness, I have my own difficulties."
"Trouble?" Yang Huan was stunned, "Okay, what are your difficulties?"
As he said that, he gestured to roll up his cuffs.
It seems that he doesn't like it, but he's going to do it directly
Prince William also looked at attention.
In their opinion, the Community Shield below is insignificant.
Anyway, it is the outpost of the Premier League, and the nature of the warm-up match is not much important.
Moreover, it’s not said that whoever wins the Community Shield will lose the Premier League championship
"As we all know, the biggest challenge in the Premier League is the schedule from Christmas to January. Many new players, or new coaches, are all on the schedule of Christmas."
"Yes, so what?" Yang Huan curled his lips.
This makes sense.
Although Southampton has played in the English League for two seasons, the English League One Championship is completely different from the Premier League, and even the Christmas schedule is different.
"Master Huan, go and have a look. Are there any other strong teams in Southampton's Christmas schedule besides Arsenal?"
Yang Huan thought about it, took out his cell phone and looked at it, but it was really not.
Also, Arsenal is not a strong team these days
