Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 633 Buffalo Essien
After receiving the backcourt pass from Kufuor, Nie Fei used his speed and technique to play around the opponent's veteran left-back Delmotte. Physically, it can't be compared with Nie Fei, a Mesozoic who combines speed, skill and dexterity. His consciousness can keep up, but his body can't keep up.

Essien quickly ran over to help defend. Nie Fei was waiting for this moment. When Essien rushed towards him, he immediately kicked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot. Janus in the back row quickly inserted it. , received the ball in the penalty area!

As soon as he stopped the ball, Essien quickly ran back and stuck to him. The speed surprised Nie Fei behind him, but Janus himself was not weak, so he held him hard and then the ball The point was given to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic picked a pass to the back point again. Viduka overpowered Edmilson with a header, and the ball was saved by Kupe.

Lyon immediately launched a counterattack. Diarra passed a direct pass to Malouda in front of him. Malouda broke through from the side with the ball. Kufuor followed him closely. Da immediately made an emergency stop, and then crossed the ball to Elber on the edge of the penalty area. Elber forcibly dodged a gap under the defense of his compatriot Lucio and then shot. The ball was firmly held by Shay live.

"Do you want to play fast break with us? You can't be so stupid?" Mourinho thought a little surprised. The Premier League is known for its fast pace, while Ligue [-] is relatively slow. The most used style of play for Premier League teams is to deal with Newcastle. What is this if the brain is kicked by a donkey?
Soon Mourinho overturned his opinion. He could lead Lyon, who had never won the Ligue [-] championship before, to two consecutive Ligue [-] championships. It is very debatable.

At this time, the Newcastle players launched an attack again. After a few quick passes, the ball fell to Robert's feet. Par stubbornly destroyed his pass out of the baseline, Nie Fei took a corner kick, and Kupe snatched the ball over Woodgate's head.

Coupe threw the ball, Essien dribbled the ball forward a few steps and passed it to Juninho. Makelele's attack was very timely, he snatched the ball in front of Juninho, and then passed it diagonally. Nie Fei who ran up!

Nie Fei took the ball and turned around. After a two-for-one cooperation with Ibrahimovic, he shook off Diarra and continued to move forward. Essien appeared in front of him again and fell to the ground with a beautiful tackle. .

"This guy's reaction is so fast!" Mourinho thumped the lawn remorsefully: "Nie Fei just appeared when he received the ball...Damn it, isn't he afraid of running out of energy? Just run like this now, Can you still run in the second half?"

"Don't underestimate him." Pei Wei said leisurely next to him: "This guy's physical fitness is simply extraordinary! Do you know how my scout described him in the report? Competent! This little running is nothing more than a trivial matter. This guy is simply a buffalo."

"Are you kidding?" Mourinho looked at Pei Wei in surprise: "Look at the range of his running on the field! Look at how sharply he appears in front of the ball! This defensive awareness combined with this physical fitness... ...Is there such a midfielder in the world?"

"There are not many such people, but there are still some... Never underestimate the physical ability and potential of black people." Pei Wei smiled wryly: "Michael Essien is such a person."

The shoveled ball rolled to Janus' feet, and he immediately dribbled the ball over Nie Fei and Essien, who were still entangled on the ground, and when he saw Diarra rushing towards him, he immediately passed it straight. , to Viduka in front.

Viduka used his body to support the defender behind him, and secretly pushed the ball out sideways. Ibrahimovic next to him broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball and hit the goal. However, this shot seemed a bit low-level. There were sighs from the fans.

Since the opening, Newcastle's offense has been a bit unsmooth, mainly to prevent the opponent's counterattack. The two full-backs sent by Mourinho are players with higher defensive ability than offensive ability, especially on the right. Mourinho himself What Ao wanted was to let Nie Fei alone attack from the center and the right, but Nie Fei was not so active under Essien's defense, so that most of Newcastle's offense was concentrated on the left, although Robert's performance remained the same. Excellent, but it is difficult to tear apart the opponent's defense only relying on the attack from the left.

After consideration, Mourinho decided not to rush to make adjustments. He believed in his team's offensive ability. In addition, Lyon's defense is not so good. The combination of two Brazilian central defenders will definitely not be so stable. What's more, the organization of Newcastle's midfield is not only relying on Nie Fei alone, Ibrahimovic's retreat can also be effective. .

In the case of a dead ball, Mourinho passed this instruction to the field. Ibrahimovic immediately began to withdraw from the penalty area, leaving Viduka alone in the opponent's penalty area, and Nie Fei also began to stay firmly on the right. Road, to attract Essien's attention.

Next, Newcastle's offense was much smoother. Ibrahimovic continued to use his own pass in the middle to create murderous intentions for other players. Viduka's body was a great threat to Lyon, while Robert and Janus's Taking turns to attack also made Lyon's defense feel a little overwhelmed.

No. In 203 minutes, Ibrahimovic swayed away Diarra's defense in the middle, and then broke through the penalty area with the ball. Seeing a defender rushing towards him, he immediately gave Robert a horizontal dial, and then he went to the left Running, Robert immediately returned the ball to him, Ibrahimovic forced a breakthrough from the baseline, saw that Viduka was under the defense of two defenders, and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area with a pick pass, Janus inserted it He shot directly without stopping the ball, and Essien rushed from the side and blocked the ball with his body.

"Keep observation." Mourinho nodded secretly. When Ibrahimovic broke through, Essien was still defending Nie Fei on the right, but he quickly made a correct judgment and left Nie Fei to defend in the middle. Janus——If he doesn't move over, Diarra has been attracted to the left just now, and the front of Lyon's penalty area is blank. Janus' insertion can pose a direct threat to the goal.

But now?The ball was blocked out of the sideline, it was just a throw-in.

Five minutes later, Newcastle made a comeback. This time Nie Fei participated in the attack. He dribbled the ball forward continuously on the right side, attracted Essien near the bottom line, and then passed the ball. Ibrahimovic did not stop the ball and poked the ball directly to Viduka in the penalty area, Viduka pushed from a small angle and was blocked by Kupe to the bottom line.

Essien seemed to have nothing to do with the defense this time, but when Viduka shot, he had already run from the bottom line to the back of the goal. If Viduka shot from the far corner and Kupe failed to catch it, Essien Sim is perfectly capable of completing a clearance in front of goal.

Mourinho frowned tightly.

"Have you noticed?" Pei Wei whispered in his ear, "He's done these few runs at almost a sprint speed... Unless their head coach only let him take charge of the first half of the game, otherwise No coach would use a defensive center like that, and it just goes to show that he's physically fit enough to run the entire game at that rate."

"That would be terrible." Mourinho couldn't help saying, of course he understands what it means-if an ordinary professional player runs 10 meters in a game of nine 9000 minutes If it is normal and qualified, then more than 3000 meters proves that he has played the role that more than one player can play on the field, just like the South Korean team in the World Cup. Their strength is not strong, but each player runs the distance Reaching [-] meters is enough for them to tie the technical gap between themselves and their opponents!
Even the South Korean players, in the World Cup, they couldn't complete a 10-minute fierce game with almost a sprint speed. If Essien can do this, he can be used as two people on the court.

"If this is the case, I almost understand what Le Guen's idea is." Mourinho said slowly: "Under such a fast-paced back-and-forth attack, whoever makes fewer mistakes will be able to master it." Taking the initiative, with a meat grinder like Essien, we are more likely to make mistakes... But he seems to have forgotten that we also have a meat grinder like Makelele in the midfield, maybe his speed Not as good as Essien in terms of fitness and fitness, but he has more experience, in midfield, he is our most reliable person."

"Continuing this kind of attack, if we are defeated by the Ligue [-] team with the most accustomed game method of the Premier League team, then we don't need to participate in the Champions League, because it proves that we don't have the strength...disrupt the game? We are not afraid of chaos!"

Mourinho's self-confidence is justified. In all the games of Newcastle since the beginning of this season, apart from the goalkeeper Shay, it is not the top scorer Shearer, nor the two organization attackers Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic. , not to mention the central defenders Lucio and Woodgate, but the 29-year-old midfielder Makelele. Although he basically does not participate in the offense, he is able to build up front of the penalty area through his running and stealing ability. Build a wall so that the frontcourt players can participate in the offense without any worries. If the attack goes on like this, even if you make a lot of mistakes, but Mourinho has this confidence, the opponent will definitely make more mistakes.
