Chapter 469 Features of Newcastle

Bale came up to take a corner kick, and the Tottenham fans in the stands booed loudly. Several players with excellent headers from Newcastle crowded into the penalty area to compete for the top. Long Bisheng was no exception, but just as he entered the penalty area, a tall and strong black man posted up.

De Witt, the defender that Mourinho explained to him before the game, the main central defender of the French national team, the opponent that Long must face in this game.

"This guy is in good shape." Long Bisheng thought in his heart, but he has never been afraid of anyone in golf, even if the opponent is the main central defender of the French national team.

DeWitt was also a little surprised. His height and jumping ability are considered first-class in the Premier League. Few centers can beat him in confrontation, but he just bumped into the opponent secretly a few times, but the opponent remained motionless, as if he hit a wall.

At this moment, Long Bisheng got short and rushed forward. DeWitt followed immediately. At this moment, Bell took a corner kick!

A pass with a great arc, the ball flew straight ahead, Long Bisheng jumped up to meet the ball!
DeWitt jumped up immediately, but after he jumped up, he realized that Long Bisheng didn't jump too high like some high center forwards, and his jumping ability was no less than that of some 1.8-meter forwards!

Except for those monsters in the NBA, there are very few athletes who are more than two meters tall and still have excellent jumping ability. After all, they are all constrained by gravity. The taller they are, the heavier they will be. The harder it is to jump high. In fact, players whose height is between 1.8 meters and 1.9 to [-] meters are, on the contrary, the highest jumpers on the court.

But Long Bisheng was an exception, he didn't seem to be dragged down by his [-]kg weight at all, coupled with his impressive height, when he jumped up, he could dominate the sky above the entire restricted area!
However, DeWitt is not a soft persimmon. Although Bell's corner kick was too good in timing, he was blocked by Long Bisheng, but he still jumped up immediately, constantly interfering with Long Bisheng behind him!
In the case that the angle was not very large, Long Bisheng did not choose to shake his head to attack the goal, but swung his head and ferried the ball to the center of the penalty area!

Taylor, who plugged in from the back row, rushed to the top of the ball!Wu Bufan made a beautiful save. He raised his hand almost subconsciously, and once again hit Newcastle's must-have goal out of the baseline!
"Newcastle created two very threatening shots at the beginning! Gerrard's long-range shot and Taylor's goal were both saved by Tottenham's goalkeeper Wu Bufan! Newcastle started the game with momentum, and Tottenham seemed to be a little slow to enter the state!"

The old Redknapp jumped up on the sidelines, obviously he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field, especially DeWitt who was in charge of defending Long Bisheng-although these two shots were completed by Gerrard and Taylor, but it was Long Bisheng who sent the pass!

This center forward who just transferred from the Bundesliga to the Premier League does not seem to have any discomfort. His running rhythm makes people feel that he is an old Premier League player!
Only then did Redknapp remember that before moving to Hoffenheim, Long Bisheng played in Leeds for two seasons. Although it was only a match between the League One and the Championship, from the perspective of the game rhythm, there is no difference between the League One, the Championship and the Premier League!
"Dorian! Don't treat that guy as a Premier League rookie! Otherwise, I will replace you!" Redknapp yelled towards the field.

DeWitt nodded to the head coach from a distance. Indeed, this guy has a lot of experience, and he doesn't look like a newcomer to the Premier League at all...

In the next corner kick, DeWitt held Long Bisheng firmly and prevented him from jumping up. Tottenham captain Kim grabbed a header in front of Gerrard to clear the siege, and the ball flew far away.

Tottenham launched a counterattack, Santos dribbled the ball forward quickly, Essien quickly returned to the defense and stuck to him, barely broke through to the left side of the penalty area.

After that, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. Newcastle had Gerrard, Carrick, Essien and Ribery, and Tottenham also had Delph, Modric, Lennon and Huddlestone.

However, when Messi, who was constantly retreating, and Bell and Maicon, who were constantly advancing, also joined the midfield competition, Newcastle began to slowly gain the upper hand.

Long Bisheng relentlessly runs in the frontcourt, which is his style in itself, and the running ability of the Newcastle team is also one of the best in the Premier League, which is why both Pei Wei and Mourinho are so optimistic about Long Bisheng—because his characteristics are really suitable for Newcastle.

Newcastle's tactics are like this: in the counterattack, the three midfielders who get the ball are responsible for dividing the ball. The attack is launched from the wing. Although Messi is a striker, he often returns to the right to get the ball. The right midfielder Gerrard is more active in the midfield. Yes, all-round.

In this case, Long Bisheng has become the person at the top, and he will not stand in the penalty area and wait for his teammates to pass the ball to him. He often pulls out of the penalty area and his long shots are also threatening. If the opposing defender also comes out, then Ribery or Messi can make good use of the gap in the penalty area.

With the technical characteristics of Long Bisheng, it can completely replace Drogba's role on the court in the past few seasons.

After being yelled at by Redknapp, DeWitt began to keep an eye on Long Bisheng, but it was precisely because of this that he was frequently attracted by Long Bisheng out of the penalty area, leaving only captain Jin alone in the penalty area to bear the repeated attacks of Messi, Ribery, Gerrard, Carrick and others.

"I didn't expect Long Bisheng to make the other side pay attention so quickly." Mourinho looked at Devitt who was following Long Bisheng, and turned to Pei Wei who was beside him.

Pei Wei nodded: "It's really beyond my expectation. It seems that old Harry has investigated Long Bisheng very carefully... But doing so will be very beneficial to our offense."

Mourinho nodded with a smile. Newcastle's top center has never been the center of Newcastle's goals. Drogba's season with the most goals in Newcastle was only [-] league goals.
Every Newcastle player has the ability to score goals!This is definitely not an exaggerated boast. In fact, in Mourinho's tactical system, he does not only rely on a certain player's goal to win the game!

The two full-backs Bell and Maicon are both players with strong assisting ability. Maicon is very good at inserting, long-range shots and cutting inside. Bell is good at assists and excellent direct free kicks.

But there must be a prerequisite for these things, that is, the center forward has enough ability to involve and play the ball in the frontcourt, so that the entire tactical system can work!Drogba did a good job in the past, but after he got older, Newcastle's tactics were not as powerful as before. It is really difficult to find a center forward who is willing to do dirty work, has plenty of stamina, excellent impact, and excellent scoring ability.

That's why Pei Wei and Mourinho value Long Bisheng's joining so much!That's why Pei Wei paid a sky-high price that others didn't need at all to recruit Long Bisheng to his subordinates!When a club buys players, what matters is not how famous the player is, but whether the player is what the club really needs!

At least in these three 10 minutes, what Long Bisheng showed on the court was exactly what Newcastle needed.

Under his relentless running in the frontcourt, Tottenham's defense began to loosen.

If DeWitt wants to keep an eye on him, he has to run around with Long Bisheng, so the defensive force in the penalty area will become very weak, and the Tottenham midfielder will have to withdraw to make up for his vacancy. After the withdrawal, Tottenham will be even more unable to compete with Newcastle in the midfield, and Newcastle's advantage will become greater...

Dawson won over Pavlyuchenko in the aerial duel, and Essien kicked the ball to Carrick first. Carrick turned around and evaded Modric's tackle, and the kick was a long pass!
The ball flew to the frontcourt accurately, Long Bisheng jumped up while running, overwhelmed DeWitt and threw the ball to the left!
Franck Ribery suddenly broke away from Zimbunda, and he completely surpassed his French compatriots in speed. After a few seconds, he caught up with Long Bisheng's ferry without any hindrance!

Scar Warrior's breakthrough was like a scorching knife cutting through butter, quickly breaking through into the restricted area!
Facing Jin's defense from the side, Ribery did not force the ball, but kicked the ball to the other side of the penalty area!
Messi volleyed and rushed to shoot!No matter how fast Wu Bufan reacted, he couldn't quickly move from one side of the goal to the other. He could only watch helplessly as the ball was volleyed by Messi and then flew into the empty goal!
No.30 in the first half, Newcastle made a beautiful and fast counterattack in two minutes, and took the lead!
With the frontcourt beacon of Long Bisheng, the speed of Ribery and Messi, the two sharp knives in the frontcourt of Newcastle, was fully demonstrated!
Carrick's accurate long pass from the backcourt, Long Bisheng's ferry, Franck Ribery's breakthrough and Messi's timely catch-up, with just three passes and less than ten seconds, Newcastle created a goal!
This is Newcastle's offensive characteristics, exquisite, accurate, one-hit kill!
