Dan Burn ran towards the Newcastle United fan curve with spread arms, he looked like an angel of flesh and blood. The defender’s pose recalled the sculpture “Angel of the North” on the outskirts of Newcastles, 20 meters high, 54 meters wide. A flag was attached to her in front of Newcastles League Cup final on Sunday in the Wembley Stadium in London against FC Liverpool: “25” and “Tell Me Ma”-based on the calendar year and a fishing singing (“Say mom, we drive to the Wembley”). When the supporters of the northern English city were looking for heavenly support. The angel statue, which is dedicated to the former miners, also represents the dreams of the Orderlyas the people in Newcastle are called. And their football dreams, many of which thought that they would never come true again, then made Burn come true.
70 years after the last FA-Cup title in 1955 so far, the eternal passion club won a trophy on Sunday. With 2-0, Newcastle prevailed against a Liverpool, which was encouraged by the Champions League-in-in. The English Burn, who was awarded as a player of the match, scored the lead gate (45th minute) with a header goal pedo from twelve meters, as well as scorer Aleksander Isaak (52.); Liverpool’s goal by Federico Chiesa (90.+4) was late. He did not want to fall asleep today because he feels that he was dreams and everything is a lie, Newcastle’s identification figure Burn. So many United fans fared, they celebrated until the morning.
:Liverpool’s star goes out
Because coach Slot gambles with the tactic and goalkeeper Donnarumma shines, FC Liverpool fails in the round of 16 in penalty shooting on Paris Saint-Germain. It is a particularly bitter defeat for strikers Salah.
The triumph is for the club like winning a world championship, the Brazil, who comes from Brazil, is known. He has no words for it that it is the best day of his life. On the Wembley grandstands, fans had tears in their eyes, and celebrity fan Alan Shearer was also deeply touched. The Sky expert Gary Neville, who otherwise only becomes emotional at his heart’s club Manchester United on the microphone, that he almost cried out for joy and demanded a “organizational holiday”. The club sent a message out of the cabin that shows how great the longing for a trophy was: “We have not won a national title for 0 years.”
Saudi Arabia bought into the club in October 2021-and has been strategically advanced since then
For many, Newcastles Cup victory looks like the rebirth of the four-time English master, founded in 1881. A rebirth that had to be helped. In October 2021, Saudi Arabia bought into the club via the PIF state fund. Since then, United has been like the regime’s European football area in Riad, that recently secured the 2034 World Cup. The comparison is close to the Arab investor competition from Abu Dhabi, who took over Manchester City in 2008 and was able to highly younger City within four years with completely new top players. However, compared to this story, you had to act more strategy in the Premier League last Newcastle at the time.
This is due to the significantly tightened financial regulations. And also because in the English billion dollar league itself with the PIF assets, which is estimated at almost a thousand billions of euros, the competitive advantage is limited. Rather, the success is based on a mixture of the Saudi financial subsidies and the management decisions of the string puller Amanda Staveley, who once threaded the deal for the Saudis. However, Staveley was expelled from the club uncharmingly last summer, it is said that it had become too much for the Saudi owners. On Sunday, only the Saudi club chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan held the trophy from the management team, then he ran a round of honor on the square with his entourage.
Newcastles approach is reflected in the United final scorer Burn and Isaak. The record purchase of Isaak came from Real Sociedad from San Sebastián in the summer of 2022 and is one of the high -priced obligations with the midfielder Sandro Tonali (60 million) and Guimarães (40). Without the Saudi owners, the club could certainly not afford these players. But around them, Newcastle is committed to team -friendly teams who particularly embody the city’s spirit of work. Six Newcastle professionals who were there in front of the Saudis were on the pitch in the final. The mentality man Burn, 32, who came to a low transfer from Brighton shortly after the Saudi entry to strengthen the team climate, is representative of this.
The trainer Eddie Howe has brought these two approaches into harmony. About the Englishman, who had been the second choice at the time, behind the Unai Emery, who was now working at Aston Villa, once said that he was “excellent” to build what you wanted to build. In retrospect, she feels “almost shame” to have focused on someone else. Howe had sensationally led Bournemouth out of the fourth to the first division, but got off with the club in 2020 and stepped back. With his type of manure, meticulousness and tactical flexibility, the 47-year-old shaped the team into an extended top team in England.
In the league you fight in the narrow championship field for the new participation in the Champions League, in which you failed in the group phase in the previous season. Howe is now – hard to believe – the first English trainer since Harry Redknapp 17 years ago, who won a title in top football. He was very emotional, although this was rather unusual for him, he admitted.
Before the final, the Newcastle fans had rolled out a banner in the form of a double book page, on which was a typing spring and the lettering: “Enter your names in the history books!” The team around coach Eddie Howe succeeded.
