Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 595 Europe Chapter 2003 First Defeat

"Craig, what are you doing!" Shearer couldn't help it anymore. He was quite tired from playing today's game. Bellamy has never been able to share the pressure on the opponent's defense for him. How can it keep Shearer from getting angry when he can be grounded?

The two disastrous defeats last season made Shearer extremely eager to win this game. His teammates played very hard, and Manchester United's strength was not as strong as last year. Shearer has already seen the hope of beating Manchester United away. But Bellamy's mistake destroyed Newcastle's hope of surpassing the score again!

Bellamy, who knew she was wrong, didn't refute, but just waved her hand to show that she knew. Shearer couldn't say much, shook her head, turned around and ran back.

There is a price to pay for missed opportunities - who said that?

Just 1 minute after Newcastle missed this opportunity, Manchester United quickly organized a counterattack. Solskjaer took the ball from the right and cut inside. After attracting Bernard's attention, he distributed the ball near the penalty area line on the right. Neville, who made the assist, received the ball and made a cross. Van Nistelrooy overwhelmed Dawson with a header to ferry, and Scholes, who was in the back point, kicked and shot without defense!

"Oh! Manchester United also missed a chance. Scholes' shot from four meters in front of the goal was weak and weak, and Shay easily blocked it!" Lawrenson laughed: "Maybe mistakes are also contagious."

Just now Mourinho has already kicked out the other four players on the bench except the goalkeeper to warm up. Speed, Viduka, Viana and Taylor have already warmed up and walked over at this time. Rinho called Speed ​​and told him a few words. Assistant coach Carver has already applied to the fourth official for a substitution.

Speed ​​stood near the middle circle, but the game was still in progress at this time, and substitutions could only be made when the ball was dead.

Given's big kick kick was watched by Ferdinand. Solskjaer took the ball and handed it to Keane who ran towards the wing. Keane took the ball towards the wing and gave the ball to Robert when he returned to defend him. After passing Neville, Neville immediately passed back to Keane, a beautiful two to one, Keane dribbled the ball to the wing, and immediately kicked a pass!

"Stay on Ruud Ruud, I'll watch Solskjaer!" Lucio rushed to the front and shouted to Dawson behind him.

Dawson didn't have time to answer, and followed Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was running back and forth. At this time, Keane's ball had already passed into the penalty area, passed Lucio and Solskjaer at the front point, and flew towards the middle. .

Van Nistelrooy jumped up, and Dawson jumped up close to Van Nistelrooy before he could think about it. Anyway, his man-marking target was Van Nistelrooy. Although Giggs also rushed into the penalty area, Kufuor was still guarding him. It should be fine.

After jumping close to Van Nistelrooy, Dawson realized that he had been fooled. The height of the ball flying was obviously much higher than the two of them. This was just a cover!
"It's okay, Giggs has Kufuor defending..." Dawson reluctantly looked back, comforting himself in his heart.

Just when the ball passed the heads of Dawson and Van Nistelrooy, Giggs made a sudden sprint, and Kufuor also ran over, and then he immediately realized that Giggs' running was just to attract himself, and Skoll Si didn't know when he ran over from the back!

Kufuor jumped up reluctantly, trying to push the ball in the middle, but his head still failed to touch the ball, and the ball almost flew to the back point by rubbing his head!
Scholes rushed to the goal, but the ball landed awkwardly, between his chest and abdomen, out of reach of his head and feet.

But Scholes immediately made the best choice, and he went on a step forward and chested the ball into the goal!

"Two to one, Manchester United overtook the score! Scholes smashed the ball into the goal with his chest! Keane's pass is too beautiful, although the posture is very awkward, but after all, the place where he shot is less than three meters away from the goal , It was completely empty! Manchester United scored two goals in 10 minutes and successfully overtook the score!"

"Damn it!" Mourinho cursed out of composure. He had already made an adjustment, but Manchester United overtook the score before he made the adjustment!However, compared to Ferguson, he does look younger now, and his reaction to the adjustment of the situation is still a bit slower!
More importantly, the tacit cooperation between Manchester United players is far higher than that of Newcastle. Perhaps, the gap between the two sides is only a little bit.

After the celebration of the Manchester United players, Mourinho showed his determination and changed three players in one breath.

Speed ​​replaced Dyer, Viana replaced Robert, Viduka replaced Bellamy, and Newcastle's formation became a shallow-disc midfielder's four-four-two. Mourinho intends to pass two A wing attack to create opportunities for the two center forwards in the middle!
Ferguson also responded immediately. Ronaldinho replaced Solskjaer. The Jazz's intention is obvious. Don't you just want to play both sides?Then I will use the side attack to suppress!

Everyone thought that the game would be more exciting after the score became two to one, but no one expected that in the next half an hour or so, the two sides would suddenly fall into mediocrity.

Having gained the lead, Manchester United began to control the ball in the midfield. After gaining possession, they began to back and forth in the midfield. The pressing of Newcastle players was not as fierce as in the first half. After the first half of the game, their physical fitness has been exhausted a lot. It is impossible to maintain the whole game with such a fierce pressing like the first half.

Ronaldinho's performance was not as eye-catching as when he came off the bench in the previous game. Perhaps it was because Bernard received instructions to "mark Ronaldinho as soon as he came on the field". After Ronaldinho came on the field, Bernard Germany basically gave up his own attack and began to follow Ronaldinho's side, and Ronaldinho didn't have many chances to get the ball. During the half an hour of playing, Ronaldinho basically It is equivalent to disappearing.

And Newcastle's offense also fell into monotony, that is, after the two wings broke through, they raised the ball to find the two center forwards in the middle, but Ferdinand showed the demeanor of the first central defender of the England national team in the next time, perfectly controlling everything. Newcastle can only rely on Nie Fei to occasionally pull into the middle to attack and create some threats. The only chance for Newcastle to equalize came before the end of the game. Viduka's shot went over Howard, but was beautifully cleared by Ferdinand in front of the goal.

As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the game finally came to an end. Newcastle scored an advanced goal and was overtaken by Manchester United with two goals in 10 minutes. In the rest of the game, Although Newcastle tried hard to equalize the score, the experienced Red Devils kept the lead until the end.After Newcastle lost this game, the ranking fell to No.10, and Manchester United tied for the top spot with Arsenal, which also won this round.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Pei Wei stood up regretfully and shook hands with the Manchester United chairman Keir next to him: "Mr. Keir, congratulations...Manchester United played a beautiful game, Keane is this One of the best midfielders in the world."

Keir held Pei Wei's hand with a little complacency: "Mr. Pei, Newcastle also played very well today. I think we should be careful when we go to St. James' Park next season."

Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders without comment.

Red Devils captain Keane was named the best player of the game. The Irishman said after the game: "We got a lot of opportunities. We could have given our opponents more colors, but it is always good to win."

Although the captain Shearer, who helped Newcastle open the scoring, seemed in a bad mood in an interview, he said: "Although we lost this game, it does not mean that our performance is worse than Manchester United. We still created a lot of chances, but we are a newly formed team and we are not as good as Manchester United in terms of coordination. This may be the only reason why we lost this game. Newcastle today is very different from the past , our goal will be more long-term."

When asked whether he regretted not accepting Manchester United's invitation and choosing Newcastle, which resulted in not winning any championship in seven years, Shearer replied: "I am a 'coal guy' (Newcastle Rich in raw coal), I am proud of it. Manchester United is a strong team, they stand at the top, we hope to be the ones who beat them down. At the same time, we also hope to be as brilliant as them, this is the mission of Newcastle .”

Pei Wei has also become the focus of the media. It seems that the media in England really want to know if the Asian rich man is very angry at the loss of this game. They even wonder if Pei Wei will throw Mourinho Get fired, as some upstarts often do.

"One loss doesn't prove anything...Manchester United have been the best team in the Premier League since its inception and we're just a young team, at least in this game we saw hope. There are a total of 38 rounds in the league, and now we have only played two rounds. We will wait for Manchester United to visit at St. James' Park. At that time, we will be able to prove what we are a team fighting for... In addition, I'm delighted with the grit, quality that Newcastle showed at Old Trafford today."

In any case, Newcastle still suffered their first defeat after Pei Wei took over. Maybe Newcastle is not inferior to Manchester United in terms of lineup thickness, and it is even worse, but the problem facing the head coach Mourinho It is obvious that the problem of tacit cooperation and the lack of a second scoring point, these problems require Mourinho to make preparations in the next time.
