Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 637 Cheerful laughter

The first half of the game has passed 10 minutes. During these 10 minutes, the two sides did not have any conservative posture. The attack started immediately, and the pace of the game was very fast. Of course, under this fast pace, the mistakes of both sides also increased.

This is the time to test the ability of the players on both sides to seize opportunities. Whoever can seize the opportunity of the opponent's mistakes first will be able to take the lead in the next game. In this regard, Newcastle's offensive players must be outstanding. much.

No. In the 205th minute, Mendieta took the ball and broke through from the right. Under Hart's entanglement, he still brought the ball to the front of the penalty area. At this time, Makelele appeared exactly where he should appear most. A light hook cuts the ball off Mendieta's feet, and immediately a long pass hits the frontcourt.

Shearer jumped high near the middle circle and gave the ball to Nie Fei who was thrusting diagonally. After receiving the ball, Nie Fei immediately began to break forward, and Ibrahimovic was also running beside him to respond.

In this kind of positional battle, the weaknesses of Middlesbrough's two elderly central defenders are fully exposed. They have strong frontal defensive ability and rich experience, but they also have the common problem of British central defenders, that is, slow turning and slow reaction!
Nie Fei dexterously dodged Eshiogu, and then continued to dribble forward under Kudru's entanglement. Seeing that he had attracted the defense of the opponent's two defenders, Nie Fei flicked the ball to the right while running , and then immediately passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back to the goal, used his body against Southgate behind him, then deftly hooked the ball behind him, and then turned and broke through!

Southgate's turn was a step slower, but he immediately put his body against Ibrahimovic, hoping to use his strength to make Ibrahimovic lose his balance.

Ibrahimovic staggered a bit, but he quickly stabilized his center of gravity, accelerated to catch up with the ball, and faced Schwarzer who was attacking, he volleyed!
Almost exactly the same shot as the opening shot, but this time, Schwarzer failed to save Newcastle again!
The ball flew past him quickly, and hit the net fiercely!

"The goal was scored, Newcastle took the lead to break the deadlock! A beautiful counterattack, Makelele's long pass from the backcourt, Shearer's header ferry, Nie Fei's wonderful pass after the breakthrough, and Ibrahimovic's beautiful escape and shot! A series of cooperation is wonderful , Newcastle's attack combination showed their power!"

Mourinho stood up and raised his arms high. The goal just now was exactly his tactical idea. On the surface, Nie Fei was the midfielder Ibrahimovic and the striker, but in fact Newcastle's front trident was Shearer. Before, he used his header advantage to help Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei create opportunities behind him, and the cooperation between Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei, two players with exceptional skills and imagination, is his confidence!
After the goal, Ibrahimovic, Nie Fei and Shearer hugged each other tightly, cheering loudly, celebrating their goal!

Nearly [-] Newcastle fans at the scene were also cheering loudly, and the cheers from [-] Newcastle fans filled the entire Newcastle!
After leading by one goal, Newcastle was not conservative. They continued the fast pace, constant impact, and constant offense. They had sufficient offensive personnel on both wings and in the middle. Most of the time they even had only The two defenders, Woodgate and Makelele, prevented the opponent's counterattack, and the other players entered the opponent's half and bombarded the opponent's gate indiscriminately.

Use offense to suppress the opponent's offense-a very tempting idea, but not many teams can do this, but at least during this period, Newcastle did it.

Facing such an attack, Middlesbrough couldn't bear it anymore. They wanted to counterattack, but they were suppressed by the opponent. The two forwards also had to retreat to help defend. The two wings even pushed out under the strong pressure of Newcastle. This is an extravagant hope. As for Juninho at the front, at least he doesn't want to do anything until he gets rid of Makelele's defense.

Although he is about the same age as Makelele, after breaking his leg three times, Juninho's current strength is no longer the scary midfielder when he first landed in the Premier League, but Makelele is that kind The older the more popular player, maybe Makelele could not compare with the Brazilian national team regular Juninho Paulista in terms of fame and strength five years ago, but now, the gap between the two has dropped a bit.

After forming a hold on Middlesbrough, Newcastle were quick to score their second goal.

Robert took the ball from the left, broke through to the bottom line and gave the ball to Hart who was in the middle. Hart made a long pass and hit the ball to the right. Trabelsi took the ball and took a step across, and then passed it across Nie Fei in the middle, Nie Fei stopped the ball under his feet, facing Boateng who came up to defend, he suddenly raised his foot and went straight!
Under the cover of Trabelsi and Nie Fei, Dyer quietly ran to the corner of the penalty area. Middlesbrough's defenders had already lost their position in Newcastle's back and forth. People are guarding him!

Dyer took the ball one step forward, then took a right foot and volleyed directly on the penalty area line!

The ball drew an upward arc in the air, and quickly got into the upper right corner of the goal. Schwarzer's reaction was a step slower!
"Two to zero! Newcastle showed a strong offensive strength! In less than 35 minutes in the first half, they got a two-goal lead! Both Ibrahimovic and Dyer's shots were very exciting! Now Middles The castle is in trouble!"

McClaren was obviously dissatisfied with this situation. After losing the second goal, he jumped up from the coach's bench angrily, and kept shouting at the field until the fourth official came to stop him. Go back to your seat.

McLaren was already mentally prepared to be scored by the opponent, but it was really unbearable for him to have no achievements in offense-Middlesbrough itself is not very good at quick counterattacks, and they used the Premier League instead. It is a rare traditional technical flow offensive play, but now McLaren can't see that the team that is under pressure on the field has a little bit of technical flow.

After a two-goal lead, Newcastle slowed down their offensive rhythm and began to bring the game into its own track-Mourinho has given players a strong ability to read the game through this season, coupled with his on-the-spot command, He believes that there are not many teams in the Premier League who can control the game more than Newcastle, at least Middlesbrough does not belong to this range.

Although Mourinho sent most of the offensive players in this game, being good at attacking does not mean that they cannot defend. The offensive and defensive balance has begun, but their offense is more conspicuous than their defense. The phenomenon of excellent offense and poor defense generally occurs on young players. As they get older, they will gradually know how to strengthen their defense. It is also very important-Bacgio is not only attacking in Brescia, but sometimes also bears part of the defensive responsibility.

Using his speed and physical fitness, Trabelsi defended Zenden to no avail. Trabelsi is no worse than him in terms of speed or physical fitness, and the current Zenden is not the eye-catching player in the 98 World Cup. A bright rookie, in fact, he has been going downhill since 98, otherwise Chelsea would not have loaned him out.

On the contrary, Mendieta on the right side performed well in this game. The former Spain international, whose state has declined in a mess after transferring to Lazio, performed well after transferring to Middlesbrough. With the demeanor of the all-round midfielder in Valencia and the Spanish national team back then, Hart's defense is also relatively in place. Although he cannot completely defend Mendieta's breakthrough, it limits his threat to a certain extent.

Middlesbrough's two forwards were overwhelmed by Newcastle's two central defenders with speed and power. Maccarone also grabbed a few headers, and Job was all except for the opening header. He disappeared from the field beyond the drop gate.

After you came and went and attacked a few more times, the first half was over, and Newcastle gained a considerable advantage in the first half. The result of the two-goal lead was enough for them to face the game more easily in the second half.

The Newcastle players entered the player tunnel talking and laughing. Some of them were in a good mood and applauded the Newcastle fans in the stands, while the Middlesbrough players lowered their heads and ran quickly. The players tunnel - even those who don't know the score will understand that Middlesbrough's situation is not good.

"We experienced a wonderful first half." Speaking of which, Mourinho couldn't help the corners of his mouth slightly upturned-after all, if he wins this championship, it will not only be Newcastle's first official championship in 33 years , It is also his first championship after returning to Europe. It would be a lie to say that he is not excited-but the reaction of the players is much better, and there is a smile on the face of Mourinho After that, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and strange sounds like "puchi" kept ringing in the locker room.

After all, Mourinho is not deep enough. At least the past few years in China have made his personality much more cheerful. Seeing the players like this, he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said: " You can laugh if you want, it doesn't matter if it's loud, anyway, our dressing room is far away from Middlesbrough's dressing room, and we are not afraid of being said that we disrespect the opponent."

The head coach opened his mouth, but the players couldn't bear it anymore. Immediately, cheerful laughter filled the entire locker room.

Pei Wei sat in the corner and watched this scene with a smile, his chest filled with strong self-confidence.
