King of Competition

Chapter 143 Premier League First Ball

During the half-time break, Tottenham's head coach Santini slightly arranged some tactics. He did not make much change to Tottenham's tactics in the first half, but made a premise for the defender to ensure the attack, and told everyone to take the initiative to fight for control of the midfield.

After the first half, Santini had already seen the weakness of Liverpool's midfield.

Even if the opponent's midfield is weak, Tottenham will definitely have a great advantage if they take the initiative to fight for midfield control. Santini didn't know anything about Benitez, the new Premier League coach, but after such a game, he found that the young coach's tactics were a little conservative. Santini felt that as long as Tottenham let Tottenham let go of the attack, maybe he could win today's game.

"No, I'm sure I can win!"

This is at the White Hart Lane Stadium. The opponent is not the dominant team of the Premier League, but just Liverpool... That's all!

In terms of the current Premier League situation, in the minds of these coaches and players, the most difficult bone should be the Premier League overlord Manchester United. This team is one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. Although Manchester United failed to win the league championship last season, it still can't change their strength. Such a team is the most exciting I have a headache.

Thinking of Manchester United, Santini is very confident about competing for the championship. Such a team really can't compete with Tottenham Hotspur.

Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that at this moment, as the focus of the Premier League, Manchester United's home game against Chelsea is in full swing, while Manchester United, which is working hard on the battlefield of Old Trafford, is one to zero behind the visiting team Blues Chelsea...

Well, it seems to have nothing to do with Santini's mental positioning.

Under Manchester United, it should be Arsenal. Arsenal Gunner Arsenal is the only team qualified to compete for the league championship with Manchester United. At the same time, Arsenal is also the most hated player of Tottenham Hotspur. They are complete sworn enemies, and both teams advocate offense.

The battle between the two teams is both lost and won. Because they all advocate attack, the end of the North London Derby is often the end of a big score, which is caused by the style of the two teams, not the gap. However, what is discouraging is that in the recent match between the two teams, Tottenham Hotspur all lost to Arsenal...

Thinking of this, Santini had a headache even more.

As for Liverpool?

It's not that Santini looks down on this team, but from the situation last season, the strength of the ruble Chelsea, which is filled with large rubles, exceeds that of this aristocrat in the 1980s!

In the face of the outdated aristocrats, what is there to be afraid of?

Now the score is one to one. At the White Hart Lane Stadium, we will definitely win the game, and we will vigorously win with attack. This is the style of Tottenham Hotspur, the style of the first offensive team in the Premier League!

Thinking of this, Santini's heart also became hot!

※※※

So, after the second half began, Tottenham fans found that Tottenham's attack was more fierce!

Tottenham fans are extremely happy. They are crazy to cheer for the home team to express their excitement. At the same time, they cheer for Tottenham Hotspur, so that the players on the court are more motivated to fight. In such a hot atmosphere, the resistance of Liverpool fans is like a fluorescent fire facing the sun and the moon, and they can't compete for glory at all.

Weak resistance, really weak...

However, just at the beginning, Tottenham fans found that Liverpool had been replaced by Liverpool, and the other side actually replaced Ligue 1 striker Jibril, who scored the Premier League's first goal at the beginning of the first half. Cise was replaced by a strange oriental boy... What's going on? Is it a conspiracy?

Why do you want to replace the hero with a rookie player in the Premier League?

Many Tottenham fans noticed that they recalled the player's information, but found that there was no such player in the Premier League, not to mention the Oriental boy now. In the Premier League, the black-haired and yellow-skinned Oriental players can be counted with their fingers, let alone this boy.

They don't know each other at all!

"Who is this guy?" Some fans asked doubtfully.

Many people don't know after thinking about it for a long time, and some of them are fans who know each other. They said, "It seems that he came to Liverpool last month and transferred from the Bundesliga. What's his name... Jack? It seems to be the name, but I don't know how the strength is?

"How much did it cost to transfer?" Everyone is concerned about this problem, because the value of the team is often linked to strength.

"Ten million pounds?"

Few fans remember the specific number, mainly because there are countless players worth 10 million pounds in the Premier League, and they are not the players of our team. How can Tottenham fans care about these?

"It's probably that the Spanish coach of the other side wants him to adapt to the Premier League..." Many fans think so.

This obviously doesn't make sense.

Because you can play at the last minute of the game when you adapt to the game, you can play symbolically. Why do you want to replace the meritorious player and let this boy play? Is his strength stronger than Cise?

I don't know...

Many fans don't want to believe this, because Liverpool already has a Cise who can score goals and a player who can score goals. This is really enviable, and I haven't heard of any strong Oriental striker. At least in Europe, there are really few Oriental players who can score goals. ..

So, someone began to observe Don Jack's performance.

This is especially true for Liverpool fans. Of course, they know Don Jack. It took the club nearly 1,000 pounds to buy it. It is said that he scored a goal on the U.S. Tour, but no one knows his specific strength. Most Liverpool fans don't have a good impression of Don Jack, because this boy challenged Owen's position as soon as he came, and many fans even felt that Owen's departure had something to do with this boy. In this way, their impression of Jack Don can be imagined.

These loyal Liverpool fans will not boo. After all, Don Jack plays for Liverpool. They can't hold back, but they don't have support. Therefore, Don Jack became the first player to play without the applause of Liverpool fans.

This is really embarrassing.

But Don Jack doesn't care at all. He clearly knows that if he wants to get the support of the fans, he must have a corresponding performance. He has just joined Liverpool, and it's not true that he has the support of fans. After he keeps scoring goals to prove himself, these Liverpool fans will support him, that's for sure!

This is what professional players should do.

After playing, Don Jack kept running near the opponent's penalty area according to the tactics arranged by the head coach to receive a pass from his teammates and complete an unexpected long-range shot. This is his tactical role.

This kind of running is very disorderly. While observing the position of the football, Jack Don runs while constantly changing the left and right sides so as not to coincide with his teammate's position. This is the most basic running position. Give space to his teammates, and he is constantly looking for the gap.

In fact, in Schalke 04, it was his teammate who gave Don Jack a gap, but in Liverpool Don Jack has not been able to adapt to tactics, and it is not the core of tactics. He can only run like this.

What about the other Liverpool players?

Liverpool's players are all trained with Don Jack Don. They are deeply aware of the power of this Oriental boy's long-range shot. Especially in the view of goalkeeper Dudke, letting this boy receive a pass on the penalty area line is almost equivalent to half a goal. In this case, who does not pass to Don Jack?

Unfortunately, this position is too tightly defended by Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, there is always a little problem with Don Jack's running position. It is difficult for him to receive the ball, but Liverpool's teammates still keep passing the ball in the direction of Don Jack, which creates a very confusing scene---

Liverpool players pass across the middle as soon as they have the ball, but football is always cut off in the middle!

Depressed!

Both Tottenham fans and Liverpool fans feel helpless for Liverpool's attack. After ten minutes of the game, they can see that the black-haired boy who just came on the field seems to be the core of the opponent's attack, but this core seems to be a football rookie, and it is difficult to receive the connecting ball...

Can such a player be the core of tactics?

What on earth is Benitez thinking?

But in fact, the tactical core is still Gerrard... The Liverpool player spontaneously passed the ball to Don Jack, but it was just a trust in him. It was not a tactical reason at all.

Benitez off the court was also very depressed. He knew that Don Jack could not keep up with the pace of the players, but now the situation is still quite confusing, but there is nothing he can do. He can't stand on the sidelines and not let the Liverpool players pass the ball to Don Jack now, right? This is too much to say.

"Believe him... Believe him... Believe him..." Benitez could only keep praying in his heart.

As a party, Don Jack is even more depressed. In fact, at the beginning, he had a chance, but after two wrong positions, the opponent's Tottenham player found the Liverpool player's passing rule, so they were more strict on Don Jack's defense, such as the opponent's guard star Ledley. Kim, stick it to Don Jack now, waiting for 'Liverpool to pass the ball to himself'. Well, in his eyes, the Liverpool player is passing the ball to the Tottenham player...

Satire!

Jack Don also thinks so. He seems to have failed everyone's trust?

Thinking so, Don Jack ran harder, so that he finally let Ledley. Kim found something to see...' This boy can really run. It's true that he just came on the field...', he started to run with him and gave up after a while, Lydley. Jin felt that with his physical ability, if he kept following him like this, he would have to end up in less than 20 minutes.

He attributed this to the fact that Don Jack has just played and has a lot of physical energy, but what about this consumption even if he has more physical energy? The athlete's body is not omnipotent. It will be tiring to run for ten minutes like this. What should I do then?

This is called overdraft of physical fitness in advance!

Unfortunately, Ledley. Kim was disappointed. Ten minutes later, he found that this guy had been running efficiently...

"Fuck!!! Pervert!" He could only scold and dare not be too afraid that the referee would hear it.

At this time, most of the fans no longer pay attention to Don Jack, because they find that this guy's performance is still so poor that there is no progress at all. "Maybe he hasn't adapted to the Premier League game yet?" Liverpool fans can only comfort themselves in this way and spend 10 million pounds to buy a useless player, which is no different from drifting. Although those are not their own money, they certainly hope that their favorite club can run well, which means that they can develop better and stronger.

What's more, Owen left, and they hope to find a replacement.

In fact, many Liverpool fans still want Owen to leave, because although Owen has scored a lot of goals in Liverpool, it is not efficient, at least not as good as Tottenham's divers. No one is optimistic about this efficiency, but Owen is like the symbol of Liverpool's striker, born in Liverpool and He has been playing football in Liverpool, and everyone likes him very much, that's all.

Now, Owen's efficiency can no longer satisfy the fans.

Following the reverie of the fans, the game is still going on. Twenty minutes have passed in the second half, and Don Jack has also been on the field for 15 minutes. In these 20 minutes, both teams have a good chance, but the two teams still failed to score.

The situation seems to be gradually moving towards peace. Tottenham's attack is not so fierce, and Liverpool has never had a chance. Everyone is competing for the control of the midfield. The battle near the middle line is fierce. Many players are participating in it, and the defenders of the two teams will sometimes come forward to help.

It is undoubtedly important to compete for the control of the midfield. With the control of the midfield, a team's offensive and defensive skills can be more stable and occupy the advantage of the game. In Benitez's tactics, the midfield is a very important link. His tactical ideas are a little conservative to ordinary people, but it is biased towards utilitarianism. Tactical thinking, so the midfield is very important.

Tottenham's head coach Sandini also knows something about it. He keeps Tottenham players competing with Liverpool players near the midfield.

This situation is not good for Don Jack, because Liverpool's attack is difficult to hit the middle line, so he has fewer chances. At this time, the Liverpool player's ball to himself is obviously much less, because Tottenham's fight is fierce, and there are fewer opportunities. Unless it is a long pass, he wants to penetrate through a short pass. The restricted area line is really not easy.

In this case, during the 71st to 75 minutes of the game, Don Jack stood alone in the front court and couldn't get the ball. He didn't touch the ball for four minutes. It was uncomfortable to put it on any player. Of course, except for the goalkeeper...

So, Don Jack shouted to Gerald, "Come here, high-altitude ball!"

Since the low pass with turf is always robbed, is it okay to pass the high ball? At least I still have a chance to grab it, and evaluate my internal physical assistance. There is a good chance that these Tottenham Hotspur players will definitely not be out of their own.

Gerrard didn't know this, but since Don Jack wanted the ball, he passed the ball after getting it once.

"Steven also passed it on to him. I really don't know what's so powerful this boy..." A Liverpool fan was sorely upset that he watched the whole game. He had turned Don Jack into the ranks of 'the most useless players in the game'. If Don Jack knew his position in the hearts of the fans, he didn't know what he would think...

Of course, at least he doesn't have time to think about it now, because football has flown over.

Next to Don Jack stood a Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, 31-year-old veteran Jamie Redknapp, who was also known as Little Redk Napp, because his father Harry Redkpp was a well-known English footballer.

Jamie Redknapp is actually a rising star from Liverpool. 2,000 years ago, he has been playing for Liverpool. Almost all Liverpool fans over the age of 20 know him because he has been in Liverpool for 11 years!

As a midfielder, what Redk Napp can praise now is his game experience. Speaking of others, he is old after all, and he is in poor physical condition due to frequent injuries. He plays for Tottenham Hotspur completely depends entirely on experience.

Now, Red Knapp is always paying attention to the dark-haired boy around him.

For this boy, he has always had a feeling that he can't see through. This feeling is very bad, which makes Red Knapp have an uncontrollable heart. When the football flew over, he got stuck in front of him in an instant and wanted to catch the ball in front of Don Jack. This response speed and coping style also show Red Knapp's first-class competition experience.

However, just as the football fell, Redk Knapp suddenly felt that there was no power behind his back...

Next, he felt a strong force coming from behind him. He immediately pushed his back hard, but he still couldn't stand such a big force and hurried forward two small steps to maintain his balance and did not fall down.

S subconsciously, Redknapp looked at the referee. He thought it was a foul, but found that the referee did not respond.

At the same time, Jack Don has easily stopped the ball with his chest.

"What's going on?" The fans of Tottenham Hotspur were in an uproar, because from a normal person's point of view, how can you squeeze the person in front of you from behind without any small movements, at least it won't make the person in front almost fall down, right? But the referee did not foul...

"Shh..." All that is left to the referee is boos.

Fans can only express their dissatisfaction in this way. At the same time, even Tottenham Hotspur head coach Santini outside the court stood up and waved his hand with dissatisfaction, but the referee ignored it, because he just saw the two people's movements clearly and kept paying attention to Don Jack's movements. He didn't find any irregularity at all. That is to say, if Redknapp didn't deliberately lean forward just now, it would be a normal squeeze that hasn't been squeezed, which is also a foul?

Then he really turned into a black whistle...

But this is not the time to argue. In the boos of the Tottenham fans to the referee, Don Jack was not affected at all. After stopping the ball, he found that Red Knapp in front of him was not in a hurry to defend himself and was overjoyed. Then he turned around and took a step to take the ball, looked up at the direction of the goal, and the next second he waved his legs and volley. !

Dong!

Red Knapp heard a huge muffled sound... This description is really embarrassing... But this is the truth!

Then he turned around and saw a white light passing between the Oriental boy and the goal. In an instant, he flew into his own door, and Paul, the goalkeeper standing in front of the door. Robinson seemed to be stupid. He just stood in a daze. After the football was jumping in the goal, he realized that he subconsciously looked back...

"Bing..." A light whistle has said it all.

The goal is scored...
