It is said that the Premier League is the world's number one league with 7 giants! As a result, the old giants Manchester United and the new giants Newcastle have been eliminated from the bottom of the Champions League and become a shame for the Premier League! Who can save Manchester United and Newcastle? Both teams are said to have their eyes on Jose Mourinho, with Newcastle in particular hoping that the boss can turn the Magpies into a true giant.
Manchester United lost 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich yesterday morning and went out of the group stage for the bottom of the group. Newcastle were beaten 3-2 at home by AC Milan this morning to finish fourth in their group and fail to qualify for the Europa League. Manchester United are in the easiest group and end up at the bottom, which is shameful enough. Unexpectedly, Newcastle actually lost to a Serie A team at home, even more humiliating than Manchester United.
In the first half, Joelinton scored with a blast to give Newcastle a 1-0 lead over Milan. In the second half, with the efforts of Giroud, Christian Pulisic and Leao, Chukwueze and others, they helped Milan to a 2-1 comeback. Although Paris drew with Borussia Dortmund and still finished second, Milan can only play in the Europa League to meet Jose Mourinho's Roma.
Newcastle, who are at the bottom, can only go out in shame and return to the Premier League to fight for Champions League qualification. Of the eight Premier League teams participating in European competition, only Manchester United and Newcastle were eliminated in the group stage and finished bottom of the group. It can be said that Manchester United and Newcastle have become a disgrace to the Premier League!
Last season, Newcastle finished fourth in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League. I thought that Newcastle could achieve good results in the Premier League and the Champions League in the new season, but I didn't expect that the two lines would collapse in the end. Not only is the Champions League out, Newcastle is now only ranked seventh in the Premier League, seven points worse than Manchester City, the fourth in the Premier League, and has almost no chance of breaking into the top four of the Premier League.
If Newcastle want to become a veritable giant, manager Eddie Howe is the biggest shortcoming. As a head coach, Eddie Howe has done well enough, but he doesn't have the ability to build a big club.
On the one hand, Eddie Howe's appeal to superstars is too low. For the nouveau riche Newcastle, to become a giant, it is necessary to have a superstar. As a scarce resource, superstars will generally join the giants, unless the club has a super coach like Mourinho who can attract superstars to join. Just like Mourinho did at Roma, attracting Dybala and Romelu Lukaku.
On the other hand, Eddie Howe has no experience in competing for the title and cannot help the players change their temperament quickly. Eddie Howe has never won the title, and the players lack the experience to win the title, let alone the Champions League. Newcastle need a championship coach, a manager who can change the temperament of the team.
Newcastle have been pursuing Mourinho for a long time, but no partnership has been reached. Now, Mourinho's contract with Roma has expired, and Newcastle see hope.
For Newcastle, the best thing to do now is to sign with Mourinho early and wait until next season, when the boss will be parachuted directly to the club. It is believed that Mourinho can help Newcastle build a dynasty and become a veritable giant.
