Chapter 506 I found it
"It seems that the little guy has met a good opponent."

Looking at this scene from a distance, Pei Wei couldn't help muttering. Mourinho has long been used to him talking to himself while watching football. If he didn't know that Pei Wei had this strange problem when he was in China, Mourinho probably wouldn't adapt as he is now, so he wouldn't be affected by Pei Wei's chattering next to him.

Hearing what Pei Wei said, Mourinho nodded: "It's very natural...Pepe's physical fitness can be said to be the best among defenders. The key is that he is excellent in several conditions as a defender-confrontation, jumping, body, and positioning...It's a pity that the Brazilian national team missed him, otherwise he can completely replace Lucio in the Brazilian national team."

"In this case, if he is entangled with Long Bisheng, will his attack on us..." Pei Wei asked Mourinho in a low voice.

Mourinho shook his head: "If such difficulties will make Long Bisheng misfire, then I will not choose him to be the core of Newcastle's future offense...I believe he can face this difficult condition. He has the ability to do this. All he needs is to let him play under pressure."

Mourinho looks very determined, but in fact he is not too sure. He chose Long Bisheng to be the core of the offense because Long Bisheng’s physical fitness, continuity and almost no injury physical fitness are one of the necessary conditions for a core.

In the face of Pepe, who is arguably the best central defender in the world, can Long Bisheng still play his recent outstanding form?Mourinho has no idea. You must know that although Newcastle has sent a lot of attackers in the frontcourt, only Long Bisheng can really rampage in the penalty area and create a threat. Messi and Walcott are more in counterattack when they play. That is to say, in most positional battles, Long Bisheng has to face Albiol's pincer attack in addition to Pepe!
While Pei Wei and Mourinho were talking, the two sides organized another attack on the field, but the last shot in front of the opponent's dense defense failed to create any threat.

These few attacks can only be regarded as tentative. After the first attack, both sides started to attack with a wide range of long passes back and forth or continuous short passes. Because the defensive formations of both sides are quite stable. Be cautious to get enough opportunities.

During this time, Long Bisheng has been trying to get rid of Pepe's defense. The 31-year-old defender has been sticking to Long Bisheng's side like a brown candy. Only when Newcastle is defending, Pepe doesn't follow so closely. But once Newcastle starts to counterattack, Long Bisheng knows that there will be another person beside him.

Messi took the ball and made a breakthrough from the side. Under the attack of Silva and Drenthe who were returning to the defense, he still dodged an open cross. Long Bisheng barely squeezed Pepe aside and was about to jump up to fight for the top. Albiol came out from the side and headed the ball out of the penalty area first.

Gerrard received the ball from outside the penalty area and gave it to Ribery who moved to the left. Ribery made another cross. This time Long Bisheng grabbed the first point and ferried it to Walcott.

Real Madrid immediately launched a counterattack. Kaka dribbled the ball straight in the middle. This is his specialty, but Essien had noticed him long ago and began to interfere with his speed of dribbling from the side, making him unable to run. Seeing that Essien was completely attracted, Kaka immediately made a direct pass and passed the ball to Ronaldo in front of him.

Ronaldo took the ball with his back, and Dawson stuck him from behind, but Ronaldo raised his foot and missed the ball while catching the ball, then turned around immediately, and flashed past Dawson who was caught off guard!

Before the exclamations of the Newcastle fans could be heard, Bale had already rushed over from the side, a quick tackle, before Ronaldo could get the ball, Benzema got the ball, and under the interference of Taylor, he forced his foot to shoot, and the ball hit high.

In the fast offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides, time passed quickly. Unknowingly, 10 minutes had passed in the first half. Both sides had wonderful offenses and threatening shots, but the opponents failed to score under the joint efforts of the defense and the goalkeeper.

Long Bisheng took a sneak peek at Pepe who was following closely, and found that this guy was still blushing and out of breath. Of course, even if Pepe blushed, it would be difficult for him to tell, but listening to the other party's breathing, he could still feel that the other party's physical energy was not consumed much.

It seems that it is impossible to drag down the opponent's physical strength, Long Bisheng thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Taylor’s long pass from the backcourt arrived. Long Bisheng squeezed Pepe away and headed the ball down in the air. So far, Long Bisheng, who is near the center circle, still has the upper hand. After all, his height has an absolute advantage. However, Pepe used his experience, blocking position and Albiol’s help in the penalty area to prevent Long Bisheng from winning any threatening shots.

The ball went to Franck Ribery in the middle. Franck Ribery was about to split the ball to both sides, but he found that Long Bisheng made a gesture to himself, and then rushed forward immediately after landing, temporarily throwing away Pepe who was a little staggered after landing.

Franck Ribery immediately sent a beautiful long pass over the top, which landed right in front of Long Bisheng. Long Bisheng, who had already put Pepeka behind him, strode forward with the ball.

The ball quickly flew into the penalty area like a fired shell, and then hit the goal post hard!

"Damn it!" Seeing the ball bounce off the bottom line, Long Bisheng shook his hand vigorously, but he didn't have any regrets in his heart.

Because he has found a way to deal with Pepe.

**************************************************
"Long Bisheng took the ball outside the penalty area again! During this period of time, he took the ball more often outside the penalty area. As a center forward, he seemed a little negligent, but Newcastle's offense seemed to become threatening... Forced to turn and break through! Get rid of Pepe? No, not yet, Pepe is still defending on his side! Pass! Beautiful pass, Messi got the ball in the penalty area and shot! Oops! What a pity! The collision next to Ramos interfered with Messi's shot. Celias got the ball easily!"

Messi shook his head and ran towards the backcourt. While running, he gave Long Bisheng a thumbs up. Long Bisheng grinned and ran back. Pepe looked at Long Bisheng's back and frowned tightly.

This guy has become so active outside the penalty area. Although he has also played as a midfielder, after all, his job is still a central defender. If he is pulled out to defend him, he will appear a little weak in the penalty area. Moreover, this guy has the advantage of height.

Before Pepe could figure out how to deal with Long Bisheng, Newcastle started another attack.

Casillas' forward long pass was directly robbed by Dawson in front of Ronaldo. Essien got the ball and passed the ball to Gerrard in front of Kaka's interference.

Facing Ramos' defense, Walcott didn't show off his skills, but used his speed to force his way. However, Ramos faced this situation not once or twice. He directly and decisively tackled the ball and flew the ball. Bell, who followed behind, got the ball and passed it directly to Long Bisheng at the front of the penalty area.

Pepe originally planned to go around the front to defend and intercept the ball, but Long Bisheng's size was there, and it was really difficult to go around his body, so he could only interfere from behind.

At this time, Gerrard had already rushed up from the backcourt to ask for the ball, Pepe's attention was attracted, Long Bisheng's ball was very good, Gerrard's long-range shot was also very good, excellent return pass plus excellent long-range shot, the result is often equal to a wonderful goal.

Diarra was attracted by Ribery, Alonso was chasing Gerrard closely behind him, but it seemed that he could not catch up, Pepe blocked the dragon in front of him, but his mind was attracted by Gerrard's approach...

At this moment, Long Bisheng lifted his foot, dunked the ball behind him, and then suddenly turned around and broke through!
If he had concentrated his attention, Pepe would never be thrown away so easily by Long Bisheng, but now his attention was more than half attracted by Gerrard - Long Bisheng had never used a forced turn in the previous game, he seemed to know that it was difficult to use this method to get rid of Pepe, and it also paralyzed Pepe to a certain extent, but at this moment, he succeeded!

Pepe leaned forward involuntarily, and a thought flashed in her mind: "Not good!"

Long Bisheng, who finally got rid of Pepe, strode into the penalty area. Albiol rushed over to block his shot regardless of other consequences, but Long Bisheng raised his foot and passed the ball to his side!

Messi ran past Long Bisheng like the wind, caught the ball and entered the penalty area-directly facing Casillas!

If Messi can't score such a one-handed goal, he doesn't deserve to be Newcastle's No. [-]!
With a light pick, the ball drew a wonderful arc in the penalty area, flew over Casillas who had fallen to the ground, and fell obliquely into the goal...
