Chapter 363 A Record That Will Never Be Surpassed (Thanks to Leader Wzyyss)
"Let me tell you a joke, Zhen Shaolong didn't start the game!"
"Hahaha……"
This sentence sounds like it is satirizing Zhen Shaolong, but it is actually satirizing the Bolton fans who were being teased.
The Newcastle fans in the stands and the media reporters who interviewed at the front all felt that what happened was very funny, because Zhen Shaolong must have known that he would not play. 100% is molesting Bolton fans.
The Bolton fans couldn't help being molested, they were angry from the bottom of their hearts.
but……
Facing a player sitting on the bench, what else can they do?
"Hush" him?
What can this do?
Depressed, the Bolton fans could only focus their angry eyes on the figures on the bench. The angry stares of over ten thousand fans are still very lethal. Most people can't bear it, and their legs will definitely tremble with fright.
Zhen Shaolong didn't have the self-consciousness of becoming the 'focus of anger'. He had a faint smile on his face, sat in his seat very casually, and was still in the mood to whisper to Smith.
The British commentator lamented Zhen Shaolong's psychological endurance, "His mental quality is so good, I dare say it is far beyond the average star, remember that he is just over 20 years old."
"Twenty years old!"
"Indeed, no matter what the Bolton fans do, they can't affect him. Of course, this is not advocating to provoke the fans. It is wrong to do that..."
When the commentator was talking, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Fortunately, he forcibly held back, otherwise he would be 'taken on leave' after a large number of fans complained after the game.
Zhen Shaolong was chatting with Smith on a serious topic, "Alan, how many female fans are there in the surrounding stands?"
His task progress of "female fans' favor" is still a few short of completion.
several……
I'm really depressed!
Smith glanced at the stands and hesitated for a moment, "Should... more than four thousand people? By the way, I remember reading a survey data of the gender of the seats, which was at the Old Trafford Stadium. It said that every ten people came to watch the game Two out of 100,000 Manchester fans are women."
"Twenty percent? Not bad."
"Almost!" Smith wondered, "Why do you care about this?"
"I'm just asking."
Zhen Shaolong's indifferent tone made Smith feel puzzled. He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "I see!"
Several people around looked over.
Smith glanced at Allardyce who was staring at him, but still couldn't help giving a thumbs up, lowered his head and whispered, "I see, you are really a master! Master!"
"what?"
This time it was Zhen Shaolong's turn to not understand.
"When warming up, you must do it on purpose. Do a wonderful dance, and then deliberately irritate the fans, so that people can't figure out what you are doing, and women will be curious about you. I heard a saying , A woman's curiosity is very dangerous, because she will fall in love with that man, and they will fall in love with you in curiosity..."
"Although it can't be all of them, there are many female fans at the scene, such as four thousand? Well, even if there are only four thousand female fans, one fifth, that is, four hundred people are interested in you, and one percent of them is very Beautiful, that is, eight people, changing one a day can last a week!"
The more Smith talked, the more excited he became, as if he had become the hero who changed his beautiful girlfriend every day.
Zhen Shaolong only felt a lot of numbers turning around in front of his eyes. He reacted for a long time before saying in admiration, "You are really imaginative. Besides, I'm sure, your math was taught by a physical education teacher, and your physical education teacher is a Genius, the wrong calculation method, can also get the right result through mistakes."
Smith didn't care what Zhen Shaolong said, and was still immersed in his personal fantasy, "I guess it must be so, this is really a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"
"What's so good about those little actresses and little models?
It’s just that the dress is more fashionable, and the girl at home is more attractive. I once dated one, but unfortunately she decided to remarry after divorce, and the person was still my childhood friend, otherwise I might have been dating her..."
Zhen Shaolong pulled the corner of his mouth.
The amount of information disclosed by Smith's few words is a bit amazing!
but……
There is some truth to what he said!
There are so many female fans, one in a hundred is beautiful, one night for another...
"Ahem!"
"I'm not that kind of person!"

field.
Bolton and Newcastle United are already fighting fiercely.
When the external media analyzed their preparations and strength, they believed that Bolton's performance would drop sharply, because they did not supplement the main lineup, and they were still players who participated last season. It is difficult for Newcastle United led by Dyce to gain an advantage.
In fact, football games are never just about strength.
From the first minute of the game, the two sides played evenly. Bolton played slightly better at home, and the offense and coordination were smoother.
Judging from the situation of the game, Newcastle United's advantages were not reflected, but Bolton played more threats.
The most threatening player in Bolton's team is the 'frequent transfer' Anelka.
Anelka is a controversial striker in European football, but the point of controversy lies in the continuous transfers and the manager brother known as a vampire. There is no need to question his level of strength, and because of this, he played successively Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Fenerbahce, each team has not stayed for a long time, and there are still many teams that want to get him.
This is Anelka's second season playing for Bolton, and many media have made predictions, "Bolton will keep Anelka for another season at most!"
Allardyce knows Anelka very well. He knows Anelka's threatening ability. Before the game, he also told the players to pay more attention to restricting Anelka--
"Especially pay attention to the penalty area, don't let him catch the ball! His header is very accurate, and his sprint is also very explosive!"
This doesn't seem to work.
Only 20 minutes into the game, Anelka has already threatened Newcastle United's goal twice, and one of the shots was within the range of the goal frame. Fortunately, the goalkeeper Shay reacted quickly and used both hands to get the ball off the crossbar. Goal crisis.
The situation on the court made Bolton fans very excited. They saw a Bolton team full of fighting spirit and a very positive Bolton team.
"come on!"
"Bolton!"
There were support shouts everywhere in the surrounding stands, as if they were interpreting the meaning of 'home court'.
the other side.
The performance of Newcastle United can only be described as 'passing'. The midfield struggle is not inferior, but the striker's performance is a bit sluggish.
Owen was guarded to death and completely reduced to a transparent person.
Martins is in a slightly better state. He actively runs and fights, which brings more opportunities, but he also wastes a lot of opportunities. He only has one shot performance and kicks the ball directly out of the baseline.
The commentator shouted in disappointment, "Newcastle United's striker, Owen and Martins, can't keep up with Anelka..."
When a team's performance is sluggish, it can easily become an opportunity for the opponent.
In the 31st minute of the game, Bolton got a chance to kick the ball. Anelka jumped up in the center of the penalty area for a header and helped Bolton break through with a powerful header.
1 to 0!
“goooooooooal!!!”
"Anelka! Anelka!"
"Bolton!"
"1 to 0!"
The background of the shouts of the TV commentator was completely occupied by the cheers from the surrounding stands.

Bolton's goal was a big blow to Newcastle United. Regardless of the senses of the players and fans on the field, Newcastle United's bench became silent.
Many players lowered their heads and raised their eyelids to look at the field.
This represents loss.
Even if it's just a substitute player who doesn't help the team play, I still hope that my teammates will perform well.
Of course.
Many players think that competition within the team is more important than victory, but similar thoughts are full of negative colors and will be defeated by the hat of collective honor, so thoughts can only be suppressed in their hearts and must not be expressed.
Zhen Shaolong also showed 'disappointment'. His loss was to straighten his body, his expression became serious and serious, and he turned his head to look expectantly at Allardyce as if the situation was 'dangerous'.
That look and that look in the eyes seemed to say, "Coach! The situation is dangerous!"
"Let me play quickly!"
Allardyce is still immersed in depression. When it comes to the feeling of being scored, he is more depressed than anyone else. The opponent Bolton is the team he created by himself. He was led by the original assistant and defeated the current team. Newcastle United...
Isn't this just being slapped in the face?
The most frustrating thing about Allardyce is that there is nothing he can do to change the situation on the court.
After more than 30 minutes, the problems of Newcastle United were also very clear. Most of the players performed fairly positively, but the overall cooperation was not very good.
This may be caused by the 'big change of blood'.
For example, in the middle of the midfield, it is Gremi who leads the offensive. Gremi has just joined the team and is not familiar with many of his teammates. He can only play according to the established tactics and cannot play with the flexibility he should have.
In addition, there is still the same problem. The "big change of blood" has led to too many newcomers. The cooperation of the newcomers depends entirely on temporary performance, and there is no need to talk about tacit understanding.
There are also problems at the front line.
Irving's performance was disappointing, and Martins was very positive, but his rough technical ability was flawed.
Allardyce didn't know what to do, so he could only pin his hopes on luck for the time being, "I hope that there will be pressure on the score in the future, and I can play better overall."
When Allardyce was thinking and sighing, he noticed the expectant eyes watching from the side.
He and Zhen Shaolong looked at each other.
The unmistakable eyes said, "Coach, let me play quickly!"
"Get out now? Are you kidding me!"
Allardyce pretended he didn't see it and ignored it, because the time had only just gone on for more than 30 minutes, and it was too early to make a substitution before halftime.
Zhen Shaolong was also not included in the competition plan.
Now in terms of the overall performance of Newcastle United, the 'coordination of rookies' has become a serious problem. Zhen Shaolong is the one with the worst coordination among the rookies. What can he do when he comes out?
Be transparent with Owen?
no!
When he found that Allardyce turned his head indifferently, but Zhen Shaolong did not give up, his eyes seemed to become sharper, as if Allardyce was a big beautiful girl in a wisp and a romantic dance. , up and down, left and right, the more you continue to look, the more you will be attracted.
Allardyce looked depressed.
The same reason.
If it were a super beautiful woman who kept staring at him, he wouldn't mind, on the contrary, he would enjoy the feeling of being looked at.
a player?
Even though his function has declined a lot, he has never thought of crossing genders.
Allardyce turned his head depressed and said, "Zhen, can you watch the game normally? You can learn a lot from the live game, for example, you can observe how other people cooperate, and you can observe the opponent's defense line , if you play how to run, it will be easier to find opportunities..."
Zhen Shaolong ignored the nagging words, he pointed to the playing field with one finger, and pointed to himself with the other, "Sir, we are one goal behind."
Of course Allardyce understood the meaning, but he had no intention of sending Zhen Shaolong at all.
And, even if there is...
It's too early!
Letting Zhen Shaolong play before the first half is over, doesn't it mean admitting the failure of the formation?
no!
In addition, there is another very important point. Zhen Shaolong almost directly asked to play, and other teammates also noticed that he is the head coach of the team, and he also needs dignity and face.
A player plays as soon as he wants to play, what about the majesty of the head coach?
"Don't let him play!"
Allardyce thought firmly.
Zhen Shaolong seemed a little disappointed, he finally turned his head away, Allardyce let out a long breath, and then heard a 'whispered conversation' next to him.
"By the way, Alan, last time I went to Newcastle's commercial street, it was really bustling, and I saw the red-light street in the corner."
Allardyce's heart tightened.
Zhen Shaolong continued, "That poor place is far from St. Paul's."
Smith continued, "St. Pauli, of course, that is the most prosperous place in Europe, a man's paradise, I want to go around..."
The two then chatted about the red-light district differences.
What Allardyce heard was like sitting on needles. He was afraid that Zhen Shaolong would suddenly recall the scene that day and expose his private life.
The two finally finished chatting about the red-light district.
Just as Allardyce took a long breath, he heard Zhen Shaolong say again, "By the way, I thought of it, that day I still..."
"Zhen Shaolong!"
Allardyce jumped to his feet and yelled.
The entire row of players trembled in shock, and then saw Allardyce pointing to the side imposingly, and shouted loudly, "Go warm up! Get ready to play!"
Zhen Shaolong stood up and continued, "... I saw a casino and a few bars. It seems that Newcastle has a lot of nightlife."
————
In the thirty-sixth minute of the game, Newcastle United made a substitution.
Owen, get off.
Zhen Shaolong, come on.
This substitution immediately aroused heated discussions in the media.
"The game has only been going on for thirty minutes. Why did Newcastle United make a substitution? Even if you want Zhen Shaolong to play, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
"Zhen Shaolong? Is he okay?"
"Now Newcastle United needs stability more than letting a rookie play. Zhen Shaolong's performance in the warm-up is mediocre, and he rarely cooperates with his teammates. It is a big problem to integrate into the team."
"It was Irving who was replaced... To be honest, Irving's performance is really not very good!"
"Owen must be very upset, right?"
At the same time, the fans were also discussing heatedly, but most of the fans' comments were drowned out by the booing from the surrounding stands. The Bolton fans finally found a chance to "revenge".
"Hush..."
The huge boos almost toppled the roof of the Reebok Stadium. Many people immediately looked at Zhen Shaolong. He didn't seem to care about the boos at all, and waved his hands around friendlyly with a smile on his face, as if accepting the fans' warm welcome.
The game commentator once again lamented Zhen Shaolong's calmness in the face of venting his negative emotions, "It must be admitted that Zhen Shaolong has a big heart, even in the face of boos from the entire stadium, he can behave with ease..."
"However, such a violent resistance can easily affect the player's state. Let us wait and see how Zhen Shaolong will perform..."
courtside.
Zhen Shaolong and Owen clapped their hands together, and they actually set foot on the court.
This is a moment to remember!
Many players will be deeply touched by the "first time", and they will remember their feelings and state of mind at that time. Even if most of them are not welcomed for the first time, they just play a very ordinary game, and they will leave a deep memory for them .
It must be extremely rare for Zhen Shaolong to receive such a "welcome" for the first time. Many media reporters speculated, "This may cast a shadow on him and affect his future appearances."
When Zhen Shaolong played, the game was going on normally. Newcastle United played a wave of offensive. Milner was transferred to Gremi on the wing. Gremi poked a pass into the penalty area to give the ball to Martins, but was interrupted by the opposing defender halfway. down.
Bolton centre-back Mette took the ball, Martins immediately went to press, Mette glanced left and right, and kicked the ball back to the goalkeeper Yass Kleining.
Asch Kleinen is about to give a big kick forward to meet the ball.
At this time.
Almost no one noticed Zhen Shaolong jogging to the penalty area, because the football was under Bolton's control, and the Bolton defenders didn't care at all when they saw Zhen Shaolong.
Zhen Shaolong ran to the center of the restricted area.
Other players are already running forward, not only Bolton's players, but also Martins and Milner, they also have to retreat quickly.
Then something amazing happened--
When Ascleining kicked forward, he didn't seem to be in the right position. Not to mention his lack of strength, the football slowly rushed towards the center of the penalty area.
Zhen Shaolong was standing there, as if he was puzzled by what happened in front of him, he turned his head and glanced at the referee for an instant, then with an 'embarrassed' expression, he slowly swung his right foot, facing the rolling football push over.
The football immediately shifted direction and rushed towards the empty right.
Then.
The ball rolled easily into the goal!
————
The audience was silent.
The expressions and movements of the players and fans who saw this scene froze in place.
There are others who don't see it.
For example, the referee was running back, and after realizing something was wrong, he turned his head and saw the football in the goal.
"What happened?" He hurriedly asked the other referees.
For another example, head coach Allardyce, who was explaining to Irving why he replaced him, "Your state has not adjusted well. You have to take your time to find your state..."
He suddenly found an exclamation from the bench, and then turned around to see the football in the opponent's goal?
what happened?
There were still many people who didn't notice at the scene. They all thought that Ascleining would drive the ball, and they didn't expect such a low-level mistake at all.
After seeing the football enter the goal, they all had a blank expression.
finally.
After two or three seconds of silence, the fans in the stands reacted, and suddenly there was a hustle and bustle everywhere, with a small amount of excited cheers mixed in, but the hustle and bustle and abuse were still the mainstream—
"what happens?"
"Ascleining made such a low-level mistake! God!"
"This stupid old fellow!"
"He's gone!"
"That nasty number thirteen... Zhen... He actually scored a goal, his shit luck is really good!"
"..."
At the same time, the commentator shouted in surprise, "The ball has been scored!"
"Yes, what a surprise!"
"Ask Clenin made a mistake, a low-level mistake, a fatal mistake, he actually passed the ball to Zhen Shaolong, this mistake is really terrible!"
"Let's watch in slow motion..."
"When the football rolled over, Zhen Shaolong also seemed surprised, but he managed to adjust and seized the opportunity to kick the ball into the goal!"
"This is absolutely amazing!"
"In less than a minute, no, nineteen seconds to be precise, Zhen Shaolong completed his first goal in the Premier League. This is a brand new record. There is no doubt that he has set a new record for the fastest goal of a Premier League rookie. Ball record! And it will probably never be surpassed in the future..."
