Center

Chapter 470 Passing Answer Sheet

After opening the scoring, Newcastle played more easily, and the Tottenham players stepped up their offense. However, when facing Newcastle's solid defense, they didn't seem to have too many options. Neither Santos' dexterity nor Pavlyuchenko's impact could pose too much threat to Newcastle's gate.

When there are players like Essien, Gerrard and Carrick in the midfield, it is not easy for anyone to break through their barrier and threaten Newcastle's gate, let alone Dawson and Taylor, two strong defenders with excellent defensive ability in the penalty area, not to mention Petr Cech, one of the best goalkeepers in the world standing behind them!
And Long Bisheng's running in the midfield also made it difficult for Tottenham to start their offense. The momentum of such a big man running in the midfield can be said to be earth-shattering, causing a lot of psychological pressure on the Tottenham players.

Long Bisheng rushed towards Chimbonda, who was holding the ball, and Zimbonda planned to pass the ball, but behind Long Bisheng, Ribery and Messi had already pressed Kim and DeWitt at the same time, and he had no way to pass the ball, unless he made a long pass directly to the frontcourt.

Zimbunda hesitated for a moment, Long Bisheng had already broken the ball with a beautiful tackle!

Steal the ball in the frontcourt!

After stealing the ball, Long Bisheng stood up quickly, used his body to resist Zimbunda who was counterattacking, and then passed the ball to Messi who was inserted in the middle.

Under the entanglement of the opponent's defender, Maicon still brought the ball to the bottom line, and then a kickback dodged Delphi, who was returning to the defense, and kicked the ball into the penalty area!
Long Bisheng and DeWitt jumped up at the same time. Although Long Bisheng was ten centimeters shorter than Long Bisheng, DeWitt didn't want to admit defeat just like that. At the same time, Jin was also watching closely, planning to fill in at any time.

Long Bisheng still relied on his strong body to beat DeWitt by jumping, but Wu Bufan attacked in time. He accurately judged the ball's landing point, and struck ahead of time to pick the ball off in the air, making Newcastle's attack come back in vain.

After the attack, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. With Messi's front shot, Newcastle led Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] in the away game and took the lead in this game.

Mourinho is obviously very satisfied with the performance of the players. Although they have not yet reached their best form, they have an absolute advantage in the away game and created a lot of shooting opportunities.

At the same time, Long Bisheng’s performance also satisfied him—the goal was that Long Bisheng’s header was ferried to Ribery, and then Ribery assisted Messi to score—Long Bisheng showed exactly what he needed in this half of the game. He actively fought in the frontcourt, his impact in the penalty area, his ability to play for his teammates, his role as a beacon in counterattacks, and his ability to pull in positional battles... All these are exactly what a center forward in Newcastle tactics does!

Although his personal breakthrough ability is still insufficient, his cooperation with his teammates is not tacit understanding, and he still needs to adapt to the defense of England defenders... But these are small flaws, and they can be gradually improved in the next games and training!
"The first half was played well! The situation on the field was completely controlled, but I still want to criticize you, because with our advantage in the first half, we should be leading by three goals, not one goal." Big stick plus candied dates, this is Mourinho's usual trick: "Their goalkeeper performed very well today, but no matter how good the goalkeeper is, we can't keep all the shots. As long as we do it perfectly... Now what you have to do is to make our offense more perfect."

In just a few words, Mourinho inspired the fighting spirit of the players. Long Bisheng secretly prayed for Wu Bufan, the teammate of the national team. Maybe in the second half, this guy will face more tests...

"Dragon." Long Bisheng suddenly heard Mourinho calling his name, and he immediately raised his head: "You did a good job in the first half, but it wasn't enough! Don't forget that you are the center forward at the top. In addition to helping your teammates draw the opponent's defensive attention, you must also pose the most direct threat to the opponent's goal! For a center forward, just pulling is not enough!"

The other teammates were a little stunned. The coach’s requirements for the new center were really strict. Long Bisheng did enough to involve and assist in the first half. In fact, the former Drogba didn’t need to shoot too many goals on the field, because by his side, first there was Shearer, then there was Villa, and then there was Messi.

But now Mourinho is asking Long Bisheng to try to score as much as possible while doing these things. You must know that the opponent’s two central defenders, Devitt and King, are both very good defenders in the Premier League.

The most important thing is that this is only Long Bisheng's first official game for Newcastle. It seems difficult to do this when he is not very familiar with his teammates.

What surprised them was that Long Bisheng didn't show any embarrassment, but just nodded and replied: "I will try my best."

What they don't know is that Long Bisheng will always perform any task assigned by the coach. In his opinion, whether he can do it is one thing, but whether he can do it is another thing.

Mourinho's attitude towards Long Bisheng is full of praise. It seems that Pei Wei's words are correct. For this big man, he must constantly put pressure on him. Maybe he can do something that seems impossible, such as helping Hoffenheim to score consecutive goals last season when he was almost alone...

**********************************************
The second half began, and Long Bisheng’s running was more active than in the first half. Newcastle also regained control of the field with their strong offense. Only 3 minutes into the game, Ribery made a breakthrough pass from the bottom of the wing.
Wu Bufan made a wonderful save again. He took a diving leap, stretched his right hand as far as possible, and narrowly blocked Long Bisheng's header. Jin immediately made a big kick!

The ball was pushed back into Tottenham's half by Dawson. Carrick took the lead and headed the ball to Gerrard. Gerrard immediately dribbled the ball forward, forcibly breaking through Huddlestone's defense, and then suddenly kicked a long shot 30 meters away from the goal!

DeWitt blocked the ball with his body, Long Bisheng caught the ball and played again, but the ball was caught by Wu Bufan.

"Newcastle's attack is fierce! Tottenham, who are playing at home, are under pressure!"

"We counterattack! This is our home court!" Wu Bufan yelled and threw the ball, and the ball fell directly to the feet of Delphi on the left. Since Gerrard just attacked in the middle, now Delphi is only facing Maicon.

Under the entanglement of Maicon, Delph took the ball forward, and after breaking through Newcastle's half, passed the ball to Modric in the middle, and continued to rush forward.

Modric did not choose to take the ball himself, because he was facing Essien, and after making a feint, he passed the ball again to Delphi, who immediately kicked the ball in!

Pavlyuchenko shook his head in front of Dawson and attacked the goal. This time it was Cech's turn to perform. The Czech national goalkeeper used a beautiful flying save to press the ball under him.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides on the field is extremely fast, but Newcastle still gradually gained the upper hand relying on their overall strength. Ribery's breakthrough from the wing, Messi's personal performance, the three midfielders pulling back and forth, plus the impact of Long Bisheng's frontcourt...

Although the scene is still indiscriminate, discerning fans have already seen that Newcastle has begun to gain the upper hand!

Every attack by Newcastle can mess up Tottenham's defense, but Tottenham's offense is blocked one by one by the solid Newcastle defense!

If this continues, Newcastle will score a goal sooner or later, and Tottenham will need a little luck if they want to score!
When the game progressed to No.706 minutes, Newcastle expanded the score!
After passing consecutive passes in the midfield, Long Bisheng received the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then turned around with the ball forcefully. Devitt was carried aside by Long Bisheng.
Messi passed the ball to the other side of the penalty area again, and Maicon, who assisted in the backcourt, shot directly from a small angle without defense!
For this short-range shot, Wu Bufan failed to catch the ball, the ball flew over his head, and then flew into the other side of the goal!
Two to zero, Newcastle established the victory!

Three minutes later, Mourinho replaced Long Bisheng with Drogba. Although he regretted not being able to score, Long Bisheng still hugged Drogba, and then raised his hand to the stands where the fans of the visiting team were.

And the Newcastle fans who came from afar also returned warm applause-the two attacks were instigated, and Newcastle's two goals had the shadow of Long Bisheng. For a striker who represented the team for the first time, although this answer sheet is not brilliant, it is at least a pass!
The most important thing is that Newcastle did not encounter too many difficulties in this game, and Long Bisheng definitely played a big role on the field!
