Do whatever you want [football]

When Paul Bento came out of the home team's locker room, he heard movement from the visiting team's locker room not far away.

Bento raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at the disciples behind him with delicate expressions. He was very grateful to the young coach of Newcastle for mobilizing his players. This is their home field!

Bento is 37 years old this year, and he is one of the young coaches in football at this age.

But that was before Randall was born. Since he suddenly broke into football and was elected the best coach of the month in the Premier League that month, "young coach" has become his exclusive term.

Randall is too young!He pursues passionate football too much!But Bento admitted that if he was 10 years younger, he would also like to play in such a team.

What now?

From the standpoint of the coach, he only hopes that the players behind him can regain their form against Inter Milan and keep this victory at home!

Bento took the lead out of the player tunnel. He stood in his command area and waited patiently for a while before the Champions League theme song sounded, and players from both sides entered the field amidst the singing.

Randall isn't out yet?He looked towards the player tunnel, and saw that the Magpie Marshal, who was wearing a light gray long trench coat today, was hooking a young player's shoulder, talking to him affectionately, and occasionally gesticulating with him.

Bento only took a glance and found that Randall and the teenager were clearly not discussing today's game.

Because Randall did not avoid the camera that kept chasing them, and the teenager who was hooked by Randall would occasionally respond to him, looking at him full of admiration, which is what Bento once had when he was young eyes.

But who is this teenager?Bento turned his head and asked his teaching assistant, "Who is that kid?"

The assistant coach stared at Kroos twice, and found that he couldn't remember who he was. After talking with another assistant coach, they found a document and checked the file. It was at the bottom of Newcastle's registered 25-man squad for the Champions League. Found the other party!

"God! He is not yet 17 years old!" The assistant coach exclaimed, "This is Toni Kroos, a player from Newcastle's youth training, a German, a midfielder! We don't have any more records for him, he should have never Played for Newcastle!"

FIFA announced in 2005 that teams participating in the European War must submit a 25-man roster. This is a measure to limit the giants from hoarding "water dispensers" without spending a lot of money. For example, Milan's famous 4 No. 10, But Milan had more than these 4 midfielders at the time!

In the 07/08 season, UEFA carried out a more in-depth reform of this rule.

Under this restriction, Newcastle has a total of 25 places, and actually used 1 place for this young player. This can only explain one thing——

Randall has high hopes for him!Otherwise he won't waste a precious spot!

Randall patted Tony on the shoulder when he was about to reach the command area and told him to go to the bench. He walked quickly to Bento, who entered the field early, and shook hands with Bento with a smile on his face.

Although he is still a rookie in the Champions League, he is already "famous" in international football, and he is a popular fried chicken in the football coaching circle!

He is not only a coach, but also a club owner, a billionaire!Except for those coaches in the Premier League who are accustomed to pre-match trash talk, the coaches of other clubs will not provoke him at this time——

What if Randall becomes their boss in the future?

"Welcome to Lisbon, Randall." Bento also responded with a smile, showing the demeanor of the host.

"Thanks, Paolo, the sunshine in Lisbon warms my heart," Randall said with a smile.

The coaches have just finished greetings, and the game will begin.

Because on this national game day, except for Parker who went to the national team to play soy sauce, the other national team players basically played two full games. For the purpose of protecting the players, although Randall hopes that this game can take away some After a victory, adjustments were made to the starting lineup.

In the goalkeeper's position, because Shay was injured, Harper was able to start today.In the locker room, Randall also chatted with Harper to let him not be nervous. As a result, the guy Shearer heard it and publicly mocked him——

"Randall, of course Harper won't be nervous, because with you, the goalkeeper will always concede the ball!"

This bastard!

The defense from left to right are: Marcelo, Pepe, Nesta, Ramage.

The midfield is Parker, Modric, Ballack, Ozil.

The double arrows are Lewandowski and Owen.

Although Randall shouted to attack, he did not hesitate to use the three midfielders. This was mainly due to the physical problems of Ozil, Ballack and Modric.

Although Pepe also participated in the national team competition, this guy has not yet been able to compete with Carvalho and the opposite Canela, so he did not play.

Moreover, Pepe has played in Porto for more than two years, so he is naturally familiar with Lisbon, not to mention his national team teammates in this team.

Marcelo has also played in Benfica for half a season and is more familiar with the style of the Portuguese team.So Randall had the intention of letting the two of them start.

When guessing the side, Lisbon's captain Moutinho won, chose the side, and deliberately chose the field facing away from the sun, leaving the field under the sun to the visiting team.So the ball went to Newcastle.

Before kick-off, Owen took one look at Ozil.

This look is very connotative, but Lewand understands it when he sees it!

Levan wondered if he would also make a cake for the boss?Shearer is one of his thighs in the team, and Irving is also one. You must not lag behind in holding your thighs!

Today, three people in the backcourt wiped his ass, and the boss encouraged him to participate in more offenses. Ozil was very happy!He secretly planned to make a cake and eat it by himself. After all, he had been "goalless" for a long time, but after Owen glanced over with his connotative little eyes, he nodded quickly with big eyes to show that he understood.

Owen failed to catch up with Inter Milan in the last round, and finally started this time...

His big brother status is there, Ozil dare not understand!

Irving was very satisfied when he was successfully elected as the "ball bully". After the whistle was blown, he stuffed the ball back, and he was already flying a long way.

Bento looked at Owen's speed, and a bunch of [expletive words] bullet screens flashed in his mind.

He is a defensive midfielder himself, and he played against Irving in the European Cup in 04. He knows how fast Irving is, but why does he look faster than before!

Bento discovered something was wrong after Owen ran up, but Newcastle's offense did not start immediately, but slowed down the rhythm slightly and fell backwards outside.

Newcastle didn't grab the start immediately?

Bento did not take it lightly!It's not that he didn't watch the game between the Magpies and Manchester United. At that time, Manchester United was walked by them for almost 2 minutes without touching the ball!Their midfielder Scholes can't wait to hit someone!

Bento's worries quickly turned into reality!

Randall opted to let Ozil free, so Modric was in control of the game.Modric resolutely implemented Randall's tactics and was not in a hurry to attack. All he had to do was to control the rhythm of the game at their feet.

After more than a minute of the game, Newcastle, which seemed to be advancing slowly, had pushed near the Sporting Lisbon penalty area. Ozil looked stickier than usual today. He was trying to break through Moutinho near the arc of the penalty area.

What does this mean?This shows that Ozil played very confidently and easily today!

Ozil played today not only easily, but also in a very coquettish position. After 2 minutes, he was brought down outside the penalty area and won a free kick for the team. The free kick should be taken by Ozil myself.

When it comes to free kicks, Li Dao's tears are about to spurt into a fountain!

Every time he takes a free kick, Landauer is looking forward to when the hidden mission can be triggered again (forget about deducting luck), his requirements are not high, and the system will give him another #你连健____卡# will do up.

He must fill in this one: you can even play like Beckham! ! !

Free kicks can't be done quickly, you can only practice slowly.

He gives pointers every day now, will he be able to harvest a group of free kick masters in a few years?

Just because Newcastle lacks set-piece masters, in order to make up for this shortcoming, Randall learned from the Argentine national team and came up with a bunch of set-piece tactics.

It is difficult to cultivate a set-piece master, but it is much easier to learn tactics with coordination!

Ozil put the ball in place, and standing beside him were Modric and Ballack. Ozil's feet passed through the air, and Ballack precisely guided to find Lewandowski in front of the goal!

Modric, who was standing behind Ballack before the kick-off, put up a finger, and Lewandowski was ready before Ballack kicked off!

Pepe helped Lewandowski open the Portuguese international Canela who was defending him. Lewandowski took off relatively easily and swung his head vigorously. The ball did not fly to the net, but fell to the left side of the small penalty area!

Irving started to take off when the ball came flying. At the moment he took off, Abel, who was defending him, secretly pulled Irving's clothes to pull him off, but Irving had already hit the ball hard before reaching the top. !

His desire to score today is extremely strong!Just because Lisbon's goalkeeper is Ricardo!

In this stadium, in the hearts of Portuguese fans, their national gate should be called "San Ricardo"!

In the penalty shootout of the European Cup in 04, Ricardo saved a penalty kick from England, and Portugal eliminated England through a penalty kick.

Two years later, that is, in this summer, Ricardo relied on his own power in the penalty shootout to score 2 penalty kicks against England! 3 capsules!

Ricardo was canonized in battle!

This also made Owen, who was ranked fifth in penalty kicks, not even have a chance to play, so he had to accept the fate of the team being eliminated!

It was only 3 months before the end of the World Cup, and the anger in Owen's heart that had not completely subsided was completely aroused after meeting Lisbon!

He wants to score!

He wants to attack Cricado's goal!

This is why he has such a strong desire to score today!

Owen defeated Ricardo today!He threw the ball into the net with all his might!Irving, who was lying on the ground after scoring the goal, immediately got up, took off his jersey, and let out a roar!

This is not the Irving familiar to the players on the field, but this does not prevent everyone from surrounding their scoring heroes in the middle.

Although Owen's undressing celebration was cool, it undoubtedly got him a yellow card.

The boss is happy, so why care about this yellow card?

Owen didn't care, but Randall was a little confused. What happened to Owen today?

Although he has been in a hot state recently, today Irving's state and aura are no longer "hot", but "erupting"!

Seeing his expression, Allegri said subtly: "Think about the World Cup. England was eliminated before it was his turn to play. He is aggrieved."

Randall understood in seconds. He covered his mouth and whispered: "How can a goalkeeper who can eliminate England in a penalty kick be called a hero? There are too many goalkeepers who can do this."

Allegri: "... I finally think you look like a British guy."

Look at this black spirit!

Randall: "..."

He, has he become a Brit?

Owen found a yellow card for himself and made Lisbon's players stare at him.

After kick-off again, Sporting Lisbon launched an attack. Their main attacker, Randall, is very familiar with it because... it is Nani.

Nani, like Cristiano, came from the Lisbon youth academy, and his agent is also Mendes. In the summer, Mendes also promoted Nani in front of him.

Where is the gap between Nani and his brother Ronaldo?

in stable.

Although Nani is not as tall as Ronaldo, he still has balanced feet, can play on both sides, has good speed, has the ability to pass people, and has quite good long-range shooting ability.

Nani's instability is not only due to his personal ability, but also his golf quotient and whether he can get a stable chance to play.

Of course, the lack of opportunities to play still means that he is not strong enough. If he were Ronaldo, wouldn't he be put on the tip of his heart by the old man?However, this does not affect Nani's position in Randall's heart, because he is indeed a good player, hardworking, low-key, and never lacks fighting spirit.

Although today's Nani is not a big weapon, he is the core of Sporting Lisbon's attack.

Nani played on the right today. Obviously, Bento also wanted to play Newcastle on the left. Marcelo's reputation in football can be described as "black and red".

The black is of course Marcelo's defensive ability, but his offensive performance has made him the darling of Magpies fans.

With such a colander, Nani of course went for Marcelo!But the problem is that if he wants to face Marcelo, the first thing he has to do is Modric!

Modric's running coverage today is very large, and helping Marcelo wipe his ass is one of the jobs.

With such an extra layer of barriers and Nesta's commanding movement, Marcelo actually gave people a sense of "steadiness" today!

This is an illusion!Absolutely!

Bento stared at Marcelo, how did this kid suddenly evolve!He looked at Modric, Ballack and Parker, then walked to the sidelines and started to change tactics.

Fight for set kicks, shrink the defensive line, and induce Newcastle to show a gap. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on the performance of the players, and he has no better way.

He admitted that the midfielders of the two sides are obviously not at the same level!

But football is round. Since they can beat Inter Milan, who can say that Newcastle will not crash at the Sporting Lisbon Stadium?

Nani lost the ball under the pressure of Modric and Marcelo. The Magic Flute immediately passed the ball to Ballack. Ballack raised his eyes and observed, then raised his head and dribbled the ball forward!

He can protect the ball, and he is not afraid of the Lisbon players coming to press him. He brought the ball near the arc of the penalty area before he passed the ball to Marcelo, who was running fast at some point. After receiving the ball, Marcelo broke through near the corner. Abel glanced at Irving who was reaching out for the ball, and passed the ball without hesitation.

Although he thinks Ozil's position is better, since the BOSS has said it, give it to Owen!

Lisbon's defense wanted to create an offside trap when Owen received the ball, but because of a little negligence in coordination, it failed, which made Anderson grit his teeth and brought Owen down directly!

Before Irving got up from the ground, Lewandowski was fighting on the front line for the boss!Before he could step forward, Ballack pulled him back with one hand, and then pushed Anderson with the hand that pulled Lewandow just now!

Anderson staggered and fell to the ground. The players in Lisbon quit immediately. Their captain on the field today was Moutinho, who was only 19 years old. In front of Barack, but before they got angry, Magic Flute and Parker, who ran from the backcourt, pulled Barack away from left and right.

Then the referee gave Ballack a yellow card and Anderson a yellow card. Although they each played [-] rebounds, Newcastle still got a penalty!

Owen once again stood in front of the penalty spot.There is no dispute that the penalty kick he made was taken by him!

Randall stood on the sidelines and looked at Owen's back, with only one voice in his heart——

Michael, don't take off your clothes and celebrate after this goal, I don't want to play 10 against 11!

Owen stood in front of twelve yards and looked at Ricardo coldly. This was the opportunity he had dreamed of, and it was delivered to him now.

Amidst the boos all over the sky, Owen calmly glanced at Ricardo who was bouncing a few times in front of the door. He didn't know whether it was to warm up or to frighten him, and slowly retreated a few steps.

Randall stood on the sidelines quietly watching this scene.

Frankly speaking, Owen's penalty success rate is not high. When Owen was still at Liverpool, he missed 23 of 10 penalty kicks, but after Shearer retired, he still chose Owen to be the penalty shooter.

Owen has scored 4 penalties this season and has not conceded 1. He hopes that Owen can beat Ricardo in this game!

After the referee blew his whistle, Owen volleyed the upper left corner of the goal after two steps of approach without hesitation!Ricardo judged the right direction!But the ball still went in!

In just a few seconds, the Sporting Lisbon Stadium, which can accommodate 52000 people, has turned from boiling to freezing!

In less than 20 minutes in the first half, they fell behind by 2 goals at home!

In stark contrast to the fans of the home team are the Newcastle fans who accompanied the team on an expedition. They continued to sing praises to Irving.

Now that Irving scored twice and broke through the gate guarded by Ricardo, there is no more perfect script than this!

After scoring the goal, Irving was held down by both Lewandowski and Ozil. Irving thought it was the younger brothers who wanted to celebrate with him, so he immediately hugged him from left to right, showing his (short) bossy demeanor!

Although he felt a little regretful that he couldn't show his prepared celebration, but since he scored the goal, he didn't care about it.

Two goals behind, Bento took this opportunity to summon Moutinho and gave him some advice. Sporting Lisbon, which was cornered after the start of the game, also tried to attack again. This time they gave up the right. It started with Ramage on the left!

Maicon took a rest today, and Ramage, who is a jack of all trades in the backcourt, got a chance.They got some chances down the right and Ramage sent them a corner in the 32nd minute on a clearance.

It was Nani who took the corner kick, and Randall looked at his figure, thinking about it in his mind.

Will Nani follow the "past" track and join Manchester United?

When Nani took a corner kick, Randall felt bad looking at the direction of the arc, and it was a leak!

Romagnoli continued to drive the ball into the penalty area after the point. Pepe failed to defend Canela. The Portuguese international made a header and scored a goal for Lisbon!

Randall just shook his head slightly at the conceded goal, and signaled the players to continue attacking.

Lisbon can save a goal, of course they can continue to score a goal!

In stoppage time in the first half, Ozil went straight to Lewandowski. Unfortunately, Lewandowski, who is still called a teenager, did not seize the opportunity and shot wide of the post.

The score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the halftime.

The moment the halftime whistle blew, Randall looked at Tony, and Tony looked at him without blinking!

Seeing the desire in his blue eyes, Randall shook his head slightly and rejected him, it was too early.
