Chapter 480 It's Time

The opponent throws the ball out of bounds, Mattok immediately prepares to go around and intercept the ball, but the opponent catches the ball ahead of time and stops him behind him.

Huntington jumped up in the penalty area and shook his head to clear the ball out of the penalty area.

For players like them who don't have much playing time, if they can't perform well, they may have less playing time in the future-how can they tolerate this!
Equally intolerable was Bostock.

Facing the flying ball, Bostock lifted his foot, controlled the ball under his feet, and then immediately turned around beautifully, dodging the midfielder Mark Yates who was approaching by the opponent!
Huge cheers immediately sounded from the stands. Amid the cheers, Bostock was inspired and continued to break forward with the ball. In front of him, Long Bisheng was in the center, Baxter was on the left, and Messi was on the right. Newcastle's three forwards fired three arrows and began to plunge deeply into Middlesbrough's half!

Even when they were passive just now, Newcastle's three forwards only retreated to the midfield at most!

After dribbling through the midfield, Bostock did not continue to dribble forward, nor did he pass the ball directly to the front. Instead, he crossed the ball to Srna who assisted on the right. The Croatian swung his right foot while running and passed the ball directly to the front!

Long Bisheng carried the opponent's defender behind him while running, then jumped high, with his back to the goal and headed the ball down.

It was Baxter who was following up with him. Facing the ball pushed down by Long Bisheng, he was about to take a long-range shot directly outside the penalty area. The Middlesbrough defender desperately rushed forward, intending to use his body to block Baxter's shot. As a result, Baxter temporarily changed the way he shot, changing his kick to a push!
As soon as Long Bisheng landed after the challenge for the top, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the penalty area. The defender who defended him was attracted by Baxter and didn't notice his movements at all. After seeing Baxter's pass, he realized that Long Bisheng had already got the ball behind Middlesbrough's defense!
Middlesbrough's defenders raised their hands to signal Long Bisheng to be offside, but their goalkeeper Steele rushed out. He wanted to block the angle before Long Bisheng shot-this is a goalkeeper's instinct, and you can't pin your hopes on the flag in the hands of the linesman.

The linesman did not raise the flag, Long Bisheng stopped the ball with his left foot, had time to observe the attacking Steele, and then pushed his right foot to the far corner!
The moment he shot the ball, Long Bisheng suddenly remembered the first time he caused a sensation in English football - it seems that he scored a hat-trick against Middlesbrough, right?
Will he score his first goal in the Premier League against Middlesbrough?
While thinking this way, Long Bisheng looked at the ball, watched the ball roll past Steele's armpit, and then bounced into the goal inside the far post...

"Boom!" The huge noise in the stands erupted completely, and Middlesbrough beat them to the point where they advanced the ball. This is undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the mood of Newcastle fans!
"This is Newcastle! They can seize the opportunity when they have the advantage, and they can still take the lead in the face of adversity! The goal is the Chinese striker Long! This striker, worth more than 3000 million pounds, has performed well since he joined this season, but he has never scored. This is his first goal for Newcastle! When he was still playing for Leeds in the British Championship in the 09-10 season, he scored a hat-trick against Middlesbrough! Now he is facing Middlesbrough scored his first Premier League goal!"

Watching the ball fly into the goal, Long Bisheng clenched his fists and waved it fiercely, then turned around and hugged Baxter who was rushing towards him.

If it weren't for Baxter's wonderful direct pass, he might not have been able to score his first goal in Newcastle!
"Jose, you passed it beautifully!" Long Bisheng shouted excitedly in Baxter's ear. Baxter broke away from his embrace and rubbed his ears: "Long, keep your voice down...my eardrums are almost burst by you..."

"Jose, Jose Jr. has performed very well. It seems that the decision to sign him is also a good choice. He has not caused any trouble in the past year." Pei Wei said to Mourinho with a smile.

Mourinho nodded: "It is inevitable for young people to make detours, but if he hadn't been arrested for allegedly hiding counterfeit banknotes, maybe his current achievements are more than that...Of course, maybe he wouldn't have come to Newcastle to play as a substitute."

Pei Wei chuckled. When Newcastle decided to introduce Baxter a season ago, many people had doubts, because Baxter was involved in a drug possession case and a counterfeit banknote case a year after he became famous.

"However, this pass is very beautiful. If it is slower, Long Bisheng will be offside. If it is earlier, the goalkeeper will have a chance to get it in advance... It seems that he and Walcott should be given more chances to play in the future. After all, Ribery is getting older, and his speed and impact have weakened a lot." Mourinho thought while rubbing his chin.

**********************************************
After gaining a one-goal lead, Newcastle began to slowly stabilize the situation on the field. Although Middlesbrough still played very actively, they were slowly brought back by the experienced Newcastle using technology.

Seeing this situation, Middlesbrough's coach Southgate yelled a few times on the sidelines, making the players start to pay attention to defense. At this time, if they attack forcefully, they can only fall into the trap of Newcastle.
Southgate, who was born as a defender, slowly reversed the weak defense of Middlesbrough after coaching Middlesbrough. If David White hadn't chosen to leave Middlesbrough and join Chelsea, maybe Long Bisheng couldn't have just ferryed the ball down so easily to create a murderous intent.

Seeing that Middlesbrough started to recover, Newcastle, with high morale, immediately suppressed the opponent and repeatedly relied on the organization in the middle to launch an attack. Long Bisheng was more active after scoring a goal. His running and involvement caused a headache for Middlesbrough's defense. If it weren't for the help of the goal post, perhaps Long Bisheng's long shot from outside the penalty area would have helped Newcastle lead the opponent by two goals in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Newcastle continued to take the initiative on the field, and Southgate realized that he had made a mistake at this time-if Middlesbrough continued to maintain pressure on Newcastle to prevent Newcastle from playing, as long as they were lucky, they could still equalize the score, because no matter how good Newcastle's defense is, it is impossible not to make mistakes.However, when Middlesbrough retreated, although it reduced the chance of being counterattacked by Newcastle, it made it impossible for Middlesbrough to turn the situation around!

If Newcastle played impatiently, Midburg still had a chance, but under the command of Mourinho, Newcastle appeared to be quite patient when attacking, and at least three players in the backcourt were responsible for protecting and preventing counterattacks.
After Southgate discovered this and wanted to fight back, there was no way to do it.

Even if he changed three players in one breath, he still couldn't change the situation on the field. With his own technical advantages, Newcastle firmly controlled the midfielder, constantly passing back and forth to launch attacks, and absolutely did not give Middlesbrough a chance to counterattack quickly—anyway, they were ahead by one goal, even if they only won by one goal, it would be a good result—in short, they had to get three points.

Under Newcastle's patient siege, Middlesbrough's defense line began to relax slowly - the overall defensive formation always followed the opponent's scheduling, and few people could bear it.

At this moment, Bell, who assisted in the frontcourt, broke through quickly after receiving the ball from Bostock, and then sent a beautiful cross with his left foot!

The ball quickly flew to the middle of the penalty area, sprinting back and forth to throw off the defender, Long Bisheng jumped up to meet the ball, gathered his strength in his abdomen, and shook his head vigorously like a lion!
The suddenly stressed ball immediately changed direction and flew into the goal before the goalkeeper's hand!
Didn't score in four consecutive rounds, and scored two as soon as he scored!

This time, Long Bisheng's excitement exploded completely. After landing, he confirmed that the ball had indeed entered the goal, and then immediately rushed out of the field in two big strides, rushed under the stands, opened his arms and roared loudly towards the stands!
"Two goals! Long Bisheng proved that his worth is worth it! Although the goal came a little late, Long Bisheng has not been affected. He has been contributing to Newcastle in his own way! These two goals are the best reward for his performance this month!"

"Nice job, Aaron!" Pei Wei jumped up from the coach's bench, and waved his arm fiercely, as if slapping someone in the face.

You bastards still say that I am a fool with a lot of money!

Pei Wei cursed fiercely in his stomach before turning around and sitting back on the coach's bench.

"Okay, now the last problem has been solved." Pei Wei, who had calmed down, smiled and said to Mourinho: "The time has come to solve it."

Mourinho understood Pei Wei's meaning. Before the start of the Champions League group stage, Long Bisheng broke his goal-zero breakthrough, which is absolutely good news for himself and Newcastle.

If Newcastle wants to get more, they cannot do without Long Bisheng's goal, because he is a center forward.
