Newcastle s "Love and Pain": Loyalty Game and Emotional Breakdown in the Storm of Isaac s Leaving Team

. ”

These three views make sense, but it is worth noting that Concannon, Robson and Herron are all "Word Flags" (Wor The core member of the Flags organization, the giant TIFO made by the organization has become the iconic landscape of matchdays at St. James' Park Stadium (and even Wembley Stadium, which they turned into a black and white ocean of fanatic half a year ago). Their displays can always freeze classic moments and set the tone of matchdays. Last season, the "Wo Flag" spent thousands of pounds to create a TIFO to pay tribute to Isaac: his name is presented in the blue and yellow colors of the Swedish flag, occupying the entire stand at one end of the court; The other end shows his portrait, with the following text "Alexander the Great". Looking back now, that time is both yesterday and another world. The match against Liverpool on Monday posed a problem for the "Wo Flag". "This may be the hardest show we have designed," Robson admitted. "Because everyone has a big disagreement, it is almost impossible to satisfy everyone," Concannon said. "I have always been confused about this: Are we going to take a tough attitude towards this matter? "It's so hard," Heron echoed.

"As an organization, we do more for Isaac than for any other player, just because we know how important he is to the team," Concannon said. "We only have support and respect for him, but now it feels like this is thrown into our faces. ”

Theoretically, "Woqin" can choose radical expressions - such as praising Isaac's face on the snake's body, or placing it next to the wallet - which will undoubtedly exacerbate the hostile atmosphere of the scene. But the question is: when the global TV audience focuses on the goal of "beating the defending champion", how bad will it be to publicly attack their own players? After all, there are 11 Newcastle players worthy of support on the court.

What's more, if Isaac's strategy is to "force the palace to leave the team", wouldn't this anger hit his mind - providing public evidence for the "breaking relationship" he said? Will this help him and Liverpool, and thus hinder Newcastle's efforts to retain him? Perhaps, the boundary between loyalty and betrayal is not so clear.

The members of "Woqin" will gather , discuss creativity in an all-round way, and then vote to decide the final plan. There is no spoiler here, but the overall tone shown on Monday will be "celebrating unity" and emphasize that "a united Newcastle is the strong Newcastle." They try to echo Howe's thinking: positive signals are far more effective than negative attacks, and direct targeting Isaac will only backfire.

But in this expression of "unity", there is also a strong signal for Isaac - if he is willing to face it.

"You have to let go of your personal emotions and think about the overall situation," Concannon said.

"

Sadly, this kind of comprehensive consideration seems to be only one-sided. As Hao said, "This is an unfortunate thing, but everything has two sides. "He even said that he didn't know whether Isaac was fined or punished for absent from Villa's game.

"I still find it hard to believe that all this is true, and it's hard to believe that Isaac would do such a thing," Concannon said. "I know it is true, but I still long for one day, he can change his mind and reintegrate into the team, we can sing his name again, and he can play an amazing season for us. ”

The live sounds are destined to be very loud in the game against Liverpool on Monday - the angry St James Park Stadium has always been one of the most fanatical and shocking home courts. "We need to control this emotion and make good use of it, not be blinded by it," Howe said. "We must focus on the game and execute tactical plans, not be too emotional, but rely on the enthusiasm of the fans. ”

This should have been the shining stage of Isaac - he has always liked such big scenes and always stood up at critical moments. But this time, he chose to be absent. What he wanted was another future.

And what Newcastle wanted was to let him remember everything he had - and it was still time. They still "loved" him, but this love is now tingling.
