Chapter 613 Europe 2003 35 Passes
"I have to apologize to you guys."

In Newcastle's locker room, Mourinho did not appear to be in a bad mood because Newcastle fell behind by a goal in the first half. Instead, he showed a thawed smile: "In fact, in the first half of the game We played beautifully in the middle, and the reason why we fell behind was because I misjudged who Chelsea's attacking initiators were... I always thought that their midfielder's attacking initiators were Lampard and Duff, but I ignored Veron behind him... Ranieri, the old guy, really has a hand. He let Veron assume the role similar to Guardiola in Barcelona before. He is the initiator of Chelsea's midfield attack, a metronome, and controls the whole The rhythm of the team, although Chelsea paid the price of slowing down the attack speed, but their midfield organization has become much smoother, which has caused our midfield to become very difficult to defend.”

Midfielders such as Makelele, Janus, Nie Fei, and Robert showed contemplative expressions on their faces at the same time. After a while, they nodded slowly. Indeed, in the first half of the game, They defended tightly against Chelsea's attacking midfielders of Duff and Lampard, but also struggled because Veron always got the ball to their feet at the right time.

"So in the second half, the first thing we have to deal with is Veron." Mourinho showed a smile on his face: "Fortunately, he is no longer the Veron who can be compared with Zidane in Serie A... The years wasted in the Premier League have already caused his level to drop a lot. Janus, you only have one task in the second half. Don’t worry about offense. Haunt Veron, stalk him to death, but it’s not to make him lose the ball But let him make mistakes in the process of taking the ball... As soon as he takes the ball, you interfere with him, forcing him to pass the ball at will, so that his turnovers increase, so that the entire Chelsea offense It will be paralyzed, and our offense is mainly based on the attack from the wing, boldly pressing up, they do not have a dedicated winger, and Johnson and Bridge alone cannot resist our attack Yes, so we have to focus our offense on the flanks and leave the center to Ibrahimovic."

Robert and Nie Fei nodded at the same time. What Mourinho meant was to adopt a tactic similar to that used against Real Madrid. Speed ​​to tear apart the opponent's defense is what they are good at. After all, the two of them are also players who are good at speed.

"Okay, I think everyone should know that our boss is also watching the game in the box, and sitting next to him is the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich... I think you have all read those reports, our boss The money spent with Abramovich in the transfer market this summer is only a little less than what Abramovich spent, but those damn media think that the money spent by Abramovich is worth it, and our boss spends the money on some less famous people. Aren’t you angry? If you lose today’s game, even if there is nothing on the surface, Abramovich will definitely laugh at our boss in his heart for not spending money! You would like to see those damn media After we lose the game, are we proud to show off our foresight? You know, if the game is lost, even the fans will agree with what the media said!"

What Mourinho said made the hearts of the ten newly transferred players this season very angry-they have indeed read a lot of these reports, and they themselves have a lot of fire. As professional players, they are absolutely I will not admit that I am worse than anyone else, and other Newcastle players are also very dissatisfied with such reports. After all, most of the newly transferred players have overwhelmed them in the competition in the team and become the main force. If they are parallel importers, then what are you?
Seeing the expressions of the players about to explode one by one, Mourinho added another sentence sinisterly: "Look, we fell behind by one goal in the first half, although it was caused by my mistake, but those ignorant What will the media say? 'Parallel imports are parallel imports, and Pei Wei is a fool who throws money everywhere'! Well, maybe many newspapers have already started printing tomorrow's headlines, guess what? How many newspapers will have that sentence as a headline?"

"Bang!" Nie Fei, who is usually gentle and refined in the team, always smiles when he sees everyone, punched a stool and smashed it apart, and then cursed with a ferocious face: "Fuck! The second half!" I must kill those guys! How dare you look down on us? Especially, how dare you laugh at the boss!"

Several assistant coaches blinked and remembered the rumors circulating in the club that Nie Fei was a player under Pei Wei when he was in China, and he and Pei Wei had a deep relationship like father and son. It's not groundless!

It's no wonder that although Chairman Pei Wei has basically invited the players in the team to his home one by one, Nie Fei is the one who goes the most!
The other players didn't have time to think this way. They had already been aroused by Mourinho's words, and they shouted loudly. Look at the tens of millions of opponents, even though we may be a little smaller than you in terms of worth and fame, our strength is definitely above them!
A smile appeared on the corner of Mourinho's mouth, just like this, this game is not only related to the face of the boss and the players, but also my face!Losing to Wenger and Ferguson is nothing, but losing to Ranieri who has not won too many honors, Mourinho's perverted self-esteem is not allowed!

******************************
After the start of the second half, Newcastle's players ran more actively on the pitch, but they did not run blindly, but according to Mourinho's tactical arrangement, they were layered, active, but not lacking in calm reinforcements made his own run.

"Oh! Nice short half pass!"

Two minutes after the start of the second half, Lawrence, who was in charge of broadcasting the game on the BBC, couldn't help shouting: "From the kick-off in the second half to the present, Newcastle's pass has not been interrupted! Well, damn it, I Forgot to count how many passes they had made, and they were all in the Chelsea half, not pointless kicks at the back!"

"It's okay, Mark, there will be a slow-motion replay later...if the goal goes in." Lineker said with a smile on the sidelines.

"31 feet." Another commentator Hansen said suddenly: "Now it is 32 feet."

As soon as he said this, both Lawrenson and Lineker looked at him with weird eyes, and Hansen shrugged his shoulders: "I have this habit since the game in 2000... It's 33 feet now."

After the No.30 three-legged pass, the ball landed at Nie Fei's feet, after seeing a hole in Chelsea's defense - any team always passes the ball more than 30 consecutive times in their own half. There will be loopholes - Nie Fei immediately dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Pettit was attracted away by Janus who was plugging in, and Nie Fei now faced the opponent's defense directly.

Terry came up to meet him, while Gallas and Bridge, who retreated into the penalty area, stared at the opponent's two forwards. Facing Terry's upsurge, Nie Fei's left shoulder sank, and then the ball suddenly went to the right under his feet. One dial, and then ready to rush past Terry!
Terry's reaction was not slow, he immediately turned around halfway, and stuck to Nie Fei's body. This is Stamford Bridge, even if the movement is a bit louder, the referee will not be too strict.

But Nie Fei didn't continue to bring the ball down, but sent the ball covertly to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, and then accelerated sharply, rushing past Terry - No.30 four-legged pass ball!

Ibrahimovic used his body against Galla behind him, and with a horizontal movement of his feet, he moved the ball in front of Nie Fei—No. 30 five-legged pass!

Beautiful two over one!

Nie Fei got the ball in front of Terry, and then he was about to shoot near the small penalty area!
Cudicini rushed out from the door, fell to the ground and blocked Nie Fei's shooting angle with his body!
The part where Nie Fei touched the ball suddenly changed, and he dunked the ball horizontally with his left foot!
Then Nie Fei moved sideways, dodged Cudicini's outstretched hand, and then shot with his right foot!
The ball flew past Cudicini and rolled towards the goal!Bridge, who rushed up from the side, fell to the ground to tackle the ball, intending to block the ball, but he was still a step too slow. The ball rolled past his feet and hit the net before stopping!

"35 passes! A goal!" Lawrence couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and stood up with his hands up: "Oh my God, this round... no, the best goal of the season was born! A series of such wonderful goals A goal after passing the ball! Especially the two-for-one between Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic at the end, it even tore a big hole in Chelsea's solid defense line! Two to two, Newcastle equalized the score!"

"Excellent!" Lineker also nodded again and again: "Especially the change of rhythm... In the first pass, their rhythm is very slow, but in the last few passes, they suddenly speed up The rhythm! It is because of the failure to adapt to this change in rhythm that Chelsea's solid defense line is so easily torn apart! Mourinho... this little-known coach is really outstanding!"

"That's right." Hansen nodded in agreement: "This team added ten new players before the start of the season, which is equivalent to a reorganized team! But from August to now, it's only been less than four months. Time, they actually have such a tacit understanding... Mourinho deserves this team!"

PS: Two new football competitive novels are recommended.One "Waist" and one "Champion Goalkeeper". There are not many well-written new books on football these days. These two books are the best among them. If you are interested, you can read them.
