Modric went to warm up!

Of course Emre saw it!

Since Ozil, who is in the same position as him, came to the team, the Turk can only play once in Ozil's rotation.

The conflict of positions also made the relationship between him and Ozil a bit delicate. He did not take the initiative to lead Ozil into the team. Instead, it was Parker and Shearer who did the job.

What makes him feel lucky is that Ozil's physical fitness is not good, which allows him to always get two games in five rounds to play.

Will Emre be content?Of course not, obviously he was still the main force of the team a few months ago!

He is under a lot of psychological pressure now. As soon as Modric warms up, his first thought is that the boss is not satisfied with him!

Of course he has to work harder!

McLaren looked at Li Xian quietly, which was obviously a meaningful look, and when he noticed his gaze back, McLaren had already withdrawn his gaze.

Emre's running was more aggressive, but without Ozil and without Modric, the Magpies seemed to have lost their way.

Before the end of the first half, the best chance was a free kick from Milito when he was brought down outside the penalty area.

Shearer conceded the free kick to Solano, and it ended up hitting the wall.

In the cheering and cheering of the home fans, Middlesbrough's players walked off the field with ease, but when the Magpies' players walked off the field, they found that the person who was always waiting for them in the player tunnel had disappeared at this moment.

The only one standing there was Alan Shearer.

Seeing their gazes, Shearer said meaningfully, "Randall went to the locker room first."

Everyone understands that this is because their boss is not satisfied with their performance!Very dissatisfied!

This scene also caused the commentators to discuss,

Newcastle's players walked towards the locker room limply, and Li Xian was waiting for them in the locker room.

The players sat down in silence, drank water, wiped sweat, but whatever they did, they did it as silently as possible.

Li Xian looked at the players. The performance of the two forwards was not bad today. Li Xian did not bring Owen with him today, and did not intend to make a substitution.

He looked at the midfielder again, and sure enough, none of Nzobia, Emre and others dared to look him in the eye, which obviously meant that they knew that their performance in the first half was not good enough.

Li Xian didn't look at the defense. He had no opinion on the defense today, but he was very dissatisfied with the midfield.

Mascherano is in a mediocre state today, but this may be because he is not quite used to cooperating with Emre, and his position is relatively late today. This is obviously also related to his tactics. Li Xian took the initiative to take a sip The pot has also considered the tactics for the second half.

He looked at Nzobia first, and his tone was the same as before. He just said to him more decisively: "Charles, in the second half, you should be more active in advancing forward, pass the ball more boldly, and don't be afraid of making mistakes."

He even gestured when he was talking!

Relieved, Nzobia said loudly, "I will, BOSS!"

Li Xian then looked at Solano, "Today you are the captain on the field, and it's up to you to lead the players! Try to make trouble for them, don't let them hit your back easily."

Solano nodded silently.

He was partly responsible for the goal lost in the first half. He didn't return to the defense in time. Ramage had often been a substitute for Babayaro this season. They lacked tacit understanding. As a result, Downing sent the ball from the left to Yakubu's feet. .

In the end, it was Emre. Li Xian was considering whether to replace him. Now he saw Emre actively looking at him, which made Li Xian give up the idea of ​​replacing Modric immediately in the second half. He hoped that Emre Ray was able to seize the opportunity and live up to his trust.

"We have to play decisively in the second half! After the start of the game, we will take the initiative to press, and pass the ball immediately no matter who is at the foot of the ball. Just like what we did in training, pass the ball and play the ball decisively! If not Know how to handle the ball, give the ball to Emre in the front court, Mascherano in the back, until the ball is passed to the feet of Diego and Saola! Of course, if there is a chance to shoot, I encourage you to seize the opportunity and score. The ball bonus is right there waving to you!"

This joke instantly melted the cold atmosphere in the locker room, and the players knew what they were going to do.

Ozil, who was sitting on the bench honestly today, watched Li Xian continue to arrange tactics, but he just watched him quietly, in fact, he was already distracted——

He needs to be stronger and more reliable. Without him, his boss can only use Emre.

His compatriot's performance in the first half was not at all sorry for this jersey.

After the start of the second half, Newcastle launched a fierce counterattack!They almost launched a full-court press, and every position was spared no effort to run.

The legendary BBC commentator John Mortenson pointed out savagely: "Randall is like a gambler at the moment, or his football philosophy is like this. He doesn't care if he will concede a second ball in the process of attacking. All he cares about is losing the game!"

He went on to comment: "After the start of the second half, including Milito, they all defended deeply when defending internally. Ameobi is more like a midfielder. His barrier also gave Emre the space to move forward. With Doyle's audacity, Mascherano has moved forward, he's doing Modric's job now, but obviously he's doing a good job."

John Mortensen is over 60 years old, and he has been in this business for nearly 40 years. In just a few words, he pointed out Li Xian's current big adventure.

Old Robson and old Harrison watched the game in the office. Hearing John Mortensen's comments, Harrison, who was about the same age as John Mortensen, smiled and said, "He's right, Lan Doyle is a gambler, maybe not so obvious in normal times, but this game he seems to want to give it a go."

"He didn't care so much about the 3 points. He told me before that it's okay to lose this game. He was ready to lose, and I told him not to be cynical. Now it seems that Randall is not satisfied with the player. His performance. He can accept losing, but he can't accept losing. He wants the players to play with momentum, like a man, this guy..." Old Robson stuck.

"Hahahaha! The media thinks he is like you, like Wenger, I heard Mourinho praised him like Mourinho? But he is like Alex!" Harrison laughed smugly, when he saw the old After Robson's super fierce gaze, he was even more proud.

Although he came to Newcastle to work, Harrison is still a red devil in his bones!

He said sharply: "Don't be angry, Bobby, he is more like our Manchester United manager."

Although I didn't personally experience it, it can also be seen that Randall is not as gentle as the surface during the short ten-day winter break.

Old Harrison had seen Li Xian look at his players more than once, which shocked him——

It was like admiring the famous flowers in his own garden, his eyes were full of satisfaction, joy, and appreciation.

He is like a gardener, what he has to do is to make his garden have the most beautiful flowers and plants in the world, and remove those that do not conform to his aesthetics and plan!

It sounds cruel, but it's not like seeing Randle get along with players.

Randall likes his players very much. Whether he looks at Shearer, Irving or Victor and Griezmann, his gaze is more "favorite" in the eyes of old Harrison than Ferguson's gaze at Cristiano and Rooney. Drowning".

Despite counting the average age, the people Randall "loves" are about the same age as him.

And he obviously has talent beyond ordinary people, but he refused to become a player without hesitation. For this reason, the old Robson almost cried sadly in front of him.

This made old Harrison feel that Randall was conflicted——

He likes his players from the bottom of his heart, and he also likes to get along with them. He can also give players emotions that other head coaches will not, but he keeps a distance from them, just like the distance between the command area and the field. , looking at his players from a distance.

He appreciates what they do on the court, appreciates their efforts, motivates them to go forward, but he will not go any closer.

The old Harrison, who has been in charge of youth training at Manchester United for more than [-] years, thinks it is because Randall is afraid of losing.

He watched the feature film made by ESPN. Before college, although Randall had always been alone, his parents were never absent every time the awards were presented.On the day he put on his bachelor's cap to graduate, the way his father looked at him was moving!

Although his growth path is lonely, he has a happy family that allows him to find warmth.

When he gradually became cheerful and finally learned to blend in, he lost his family again.

This made old Harrison especially uncomfortable, and made him understand his contradiction—

He is not just the coach of the players, he is also the chairman of the club. It is very cruel to run a club. Apart from Shearer, Solano may be the only player who can finally hang up his boots in Newcastle, but he is not old enough. It's too young to be on the verge of retirement.

Randall loves his players, but he's more than a fan, which means he's also a villain.

So he has to keep a distance from the players, an appropriate distance.

The old Harrison admired Randall. After removing his sad "reason", he liked Randall's emotions towards football and players. He even felt that Newcastle was lucky to meet such a club. chairman.

This made the old Harrison a little resentful. Why wasn't Randall the one who bought Manchester United in the first place?

Damn Glazer!

The old Robson didn't bother to pay attention to the ridicule of his old friend. He was paying attention to the game, and at the same time he was very pleased to see the completely different fighting spirit of the players from the first half.

He is a good old man, although he has done things like depriving Kevin Keegan of the captain's armband to Alan Shearer, but generally speaking, the adjectives such as his swift and resolute will not appear on him.

But this is obviously a good side. A head coach must establish his own authority, must motivate his players, and must calmly and rationally tell the players what you need to do.

Newcastle's crazy pressing in the second half made Middlesbrough's players very uncomfortable. This is a completely different game rhythm from the first half. At the same time, the confrontation in the backcourt is also much tougher. Boo, he was pushed by Taylor on the run.

This is obviously a senseless foul, Taylor just let Yakubu know, don't think I'm easy to mess with!

Taylor's style of painting also made Li Xian a little speechless. He couldn't hold back his mouth, turned around and complained to Hiller and Allegri, "Do you think the wear is broken?"

This is obviously a good question. Shearer spread his hands but gestured Li Xian to look at Allegri with his eyes. The Italian smiled lazily.

Ah Jiong is now in charge of the team's defense training, who else could it be if it wasn't the Italian?

Allegri pretended not to see Shearer's teasing eyes, knowing who the culprit was, Li Xian refocused on the game, he couldn't afford to mess with the Italian.

Allegri is easy to get along with and has a good temper. He will discuss with you before making any training plan. Once you agree, stop dictating his training plan. He will instantly transform into a Tyrannosaurus!

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Newcastle finally ushered in a chance. Mascherano broke the ball at the feet of Boateng, and then passed the ball straight to Emre. Milito and Ameobi helped him attract the back With the attention of defense, Emre did not miss this great opportunity!

He chose to shoot!

Among the many goalkeepers in the Premier League, Jones, the goalkeeper of Middlesbrough, has only just passed the performance this season, and he has conceded many goals.

He didn't react at all to Emre's kick, and it was too late when he found a ball suddenly flying from the crowd!

Emre immediately hugged Milito, who was closest to him, after scoring the goal, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the competition in the team is becoming more and more fierce, he still doesn't want to leave the Magpies, especially when the team is about to get the Champions League ticket!

After Newcastle scored, McLaren kept reminding the players to defend, defend, defend!

If you count his activities on the sidelines at this moment, it may be more than ten times that of Li Xian.

McLaren is not a passionate coach, but he can only continue to motivate his players. Even if they can win the Europa League trophy in the end, if they are relegated to the English Championship next season...

Fans must want to kill him!

Between keeping 1 point and striving for 3 points, Li Xian chose the latter. The players now understand what they should do, and they have also played momentum. At this time, he will not let the players take it back.

attack!Go on the offensive!Even if he pays the tuition fee, he is not afraid!

The Newcastle fans who came to the away game with the team continued to cheer for the team amidst the singing of the home fans. This is the football they want!

Because McLaren's team recovered deeply, Yakubu didn't seize a decent opportunity alone. When the final whistle blew, one of the players on both sides felt a sense of survival, while the other looked sad. No one is happy.

Obviously shaking hands to make peace, McLaren looked at Li Xian's expressionless face, wishing he could turn around and leave!

But he couldn't be so ungentlemanly, he shook hands with Li Xian graciously.

Li Xian kept his expressionless face and shook hands with McLaren before turning and leaving.This also made some commentators puzzled. This is so obvious that they don't like it. Could it be that the two of them had a relationship in private?

The Magpies ended their 10-game winning streak, but they maintained an unbeaten record of 11 games. They currently have 49 points and their ranking has slipped to 6th.

The fight for 4 is already in front of all Newcastle fans.

Fortunately, Tottenham, which is ranked above them, is only 2 points higher than them. In the next round, they will face Tottenham at home and win this game!

This 6-point battle is destined to become the focus of the next round of the league!
