Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 670 Long live Newcastle
Maybe Didier Deschamps said something at half-time, and Monaco went on the offensive after the start of the second half.

Newcastle, which had been prepared for a long time, began to recover gradually. After Giuly left the field, their defense was much easier. They stared at Roten and shrunk their defense in the penalty area to offset the high-altitude advantage of the opponent's two centers. Obviously, this defensive tactic against Monaco, is quite effective.

Monaco's offense began to be limited to the left. After losing the flexible advantage of flying on both wings, their offense began to become rigid. They no longer had the agility they had when they beat Real Madrid and Chelsea. After becoming more and more familiar with the opponent's offensive methods , Kufuor's physical advantages began to gradually show.

At this time, it can be seen that it is not a fluke that Monaco can achieve such outstanding results in this season's Champions League. In the absence of one side of the offensive, only relying on the offensive launched by Roten on the left, they still started in the second half. Several chances were created some time ago.

In 6 minutes, Monaco left-back Evra put in an assist. Since the attention of Kufuor and Trabelsi was attracted by Roten, Evra was able to dribble the ball forward smoothly!
Trabelsi dropped Roten and rushed towards Evra, but he passed the ball before he could get close to Evra.

The ball draws a weird arc in the penalty area, Shay didn't dare to attack, and Woodgate, who returned to defense, planned to kick the ball out of the baseline, even if it was a corner kick, it would be fine, but when he stretched out Only then did I realize that my judgment had been wrong-failed to reach the ball!
Fortunately, Purshaw behind him did not expect the ball to have such a large arc. He barely stretched out his leg and failed to poke the ball. After the ball hit his thigh, it flew out of the baseline-absurd.

Five minutes later, Monaco created another chance, another Roten cross from the left, but this time Woodgate defended well, and Pourshaw's header went wide of the post under his interference.

After missing two chances in a row, Deschamps looked rather unsightly. He stood up and called another striker, Nongda, who was on the bench.

Mourinho also asked the players on the bench to warm up, but he sent all six substitutes except goalkeeper Harper out to warm up at one time, with the idea of ​​striking late.

Didier Deschamps replaced the midfielder Cisse with Nongda after a dead ball, and Mourinho also made a substitution at the same time, but his substitution surprised everyone. Instead of the striker, the captain Shearer who scored a goal was replaced with winger Stewart!

At this time, Mourinho is not only thinking about defense, but counterattack!Stewart's speed will play a big role in the situation where the opponent is bound to press heavily, but there are not many coaches who dare to make such adjustments under such circumstances!
Shearer, who was replaced halfway, was not displeased. He smiled and hugged Stewart before leaving the field. The Newcastle fans in the stands welcomed their captain with huge applause.

After clapping to the fans, Shearer returned to the sidelines. Mourinho patted him on the back. Shearer took the water from the assistant coach and sat down on the bench.

"How do you feel? Alan?" Pei Wei asked with a smile.

"It feels good." Shearer nodded: "Especially when I scored that goal... This is the first time that I feel that scoring is such an exciting thing."

"You will be even more excited when you lift the championship trophy." Pei Wei laughed loudly: "Compared with the feeling of winning the championship, scoring goals is nothing! Alan, don't you think you have no regrets?"

Shearer gave the boss a meaningful look: "Indeed..."

************************************
These two substitutions showed the gap between Deschamps and Mourinho.

Although Nongda is a relatively powerful striker, Pursau and Morientes can do what he can do on the field, and they can do better than him. The problem with Monaco now is not in the penalty area The lack of forwards, but the lack of means to organize offense-but at this time, he sent some redundant centers and reduced the number of midfielders.

And Mourinho replaced Stewart, let Ibrahimovic go to the front, Stewart and Nie Fei supported behind, which made Newcastle's counterattack faster and more agile.

Deschamps is just an ordinary excellent coach, while Mourinho is a world-class coach. Although the gap between them is not that big at this time, in the future, it will only widen. Farther away.

Three centers crowded in the penalty area does not mean that two defenders cannot defend them-after all, there is only one ball. Not necessarily three people is more advantageous than two people.

Seeing that the game has progressed to No. 70 minutes, Monaco still failed to break the deadlock on the scene. The anxious expression on Deschamps' face became more and more intense, while Mourinho became more and more confident.

Nongda’s shot in the penalty area hit Makelele and went out of the bottom line. Both of Monaco’s central defenders rushed up. In addition to the three centers in the penalty area, Monaco now has a total of eight players near Newcastle’s penalty area. Only A full back and a defensive midfielder defend around the center circle.

Mourinho made a gesture to the field, Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic nodded at the same time understanding, and did not come back to help defend.

The Monaco players who were eager to attack did not notice this. After observing the situation in the penalty area, Luo Teng felt a little troubled. There were five players in Monaco and six players in Newcastle. The entire penalty area was full of people, and everyone was desperate The situation observed in the last second may be completely changed in the next second.

Luo Teng gritted his teeth and passed the ball into the penalty area - since he couldn't observe it, then pass the ball to the place where the offensive player is most likely to hit it!

The ball flew directly to the back point. The four players from both sides jumped at the same time, and their bodies collided with each other in the air. In the end, no one could touch the ball. The ball flew out of the penalty area and flew to the left sideline.

The Monaco players ran back dejectedly. Their speed of returning to the defense was not fast. The ball seemed to be going out of the sideline. They had enough time to launch a frontcourt press.

But a figure intercepted the ball before it went out!Hart appeared in that place, and immediately after stopping the ball, he made a straight pass and passed the ball to Stewart in front of him!

Fight back quickly!Three-on-three frontcourt!
The ball passed by Hart happened to be in sync with Stuart who had already started. After getting the ball, Stuart didn't slow down at all, and rushed straight past the middle circle!
Seeing Ibarra coming up to him, Stewart immediately crossed the ball to Nie Fei in the middle, and then continued to accelerate forward.

After Nie Fei got the ball in the middle, he pushed forward quickly, and Zikos, the midfielder in front of him, could only retreat sideways - he didn't dare to just pounce on it like this, and he didn't dare to let Nie Fei advance without hindrance like this, let alone how many It's awkward.

Nie Fei moved forward while observing the surrounding situation. Stewart was on the left, Ibarra followed him firmly, Ibrahimovic was a little bit forward on the right, and Evra, who was back on defense, followed him closely. guy...

After entering the 30-meter area, Nie Fei began to speed up. A series of back and forth changes made Zikos, who was running so awkwardly, could no longer stabilize the center. Finally, he was completely shaken away by Nie Fei!

Evra saw that Nie Fei had already thrown Zikos, if he dribbled the ball forward alone, then it would be meaningless to stare at Ibrahimovic!
Just when Evra was about to leave Ibrahimovic to defend Nie Fei, he saw Nie Fei lift his foot and pass the ball to Ibrahimovic in front of him!
Evra immediately focused all his attention on Ibrahimovic, who feinted his upper body, and then broke through near the bottom line!
Evra rushed over immediately, but Ibrahimovic stopped suddenly. Evra reacted quickly and stopped too, staring at Ibrahimovic without blinking.

Ibrahimovic moved, but immediately passed the ball under his feet!
Nie Fei rushed up from behind and volleyed directly near the penalty spot!

The ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal!Although Rome has made a save, it is still too far away!

"Two to zero! Newcastle expanded the score in the No.70 minute! They have already won! A beautiful, standard, textbook-like fast counterattack! Hart passed the ball, Stewart passed the ball, and Nie Fei broke through. Passing the ball, Ibrahimovic's ingenious counterattack, Nie Fei's low shot near the penalty spot ended the counterattack! Four passes, one shot, Newcastle has staged such a quick counterattack countless times this season, and This counterattack appeared in the final of the Champions Cup!"

**************************************
Inside a bar in Newcastle.

Everyone has a glass of beer in their hands, which is the favorite drink of England fans when watching football, but at this moment, no one touches it, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the TV hanging above the bar ——This is the time for Newcastle to fight back!

"Stewart pass to Nie Fei...Nie Fei took the ball to the front of the box...He made the pass! Ibrahimovic got the ball in the box! A shake, Evra defended very well...Pass! Pass! Nie Fei Charged up! A low shot near the penalty spot—Goal! Nie Fei! Nie Fei! Chinese star Nie Fei scored the winning goal for Newcastle! Long live Newcastle!"

With the crazy roar of the narrator on the TV, this small bar also fell into madness. Everyone poured the beer in the glass into the air, and then opened their mouths wide to catch the drops of wine falling from the air, cheering heartily Go!

"we are the champion!"

"We are kings of the world!"

"Long live Newcastle!"
