Chapter 429 The Spirit of Never Giving Up
Victory is still tilting towards Newcastle United.
But it's nothing at all. Newcastle United led by two goals, and the situation once evolved into that West Ham United almost gave up the attack. They just dragged the game to end the game quickly. In that case, it was a relief for West Ham United players. As a promoted horse, they challenged the Premier League team on the road and played this. It seems that they have no confidence.
But even so, Newcastle United's attack has not turned out!
Newcastle United's player mentality seems to be no different from West Ham United. The first half is like this, and the second half is still the same. The team has a two-ball advantage. Probably many players want to end the game quickly. In that way, the victory will come, and they can directly welcome the victory.
As for continuing to score goals!?
What's the effect!?
Anyway, the current appearance of Newcastle United will always make people have this idea. As an offensive team, in the case of leading two goals in the first half and the other side rarely attacking, Newcastle United played softly in the second half. Many players have become soft-footed shrimps in the front court. They not only pass the ball and cooperate well. Even the basic attack and with the ball make frequent mistakes.
Such a team atmosphere made Don Jack very disappointed.
In Liverpool, when the team is in the lead, they will continue to pursue the attack, and they will cheer for every goal. In this kind of attack, the other side will not have any chance to turn around. Now Newcastle United is only two goals ahead, and everyone seems to have no fighting spirit.
Fortunately, the opponent is West Ham United, a promoted horse. If the opponent becomes a giant: Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United... Even in Liverpool, if you can't play well, you have to turn over the opponent!
On the field, the stalemate between the two teams has lasted for a long time. Although Don Jack is trying to find opportunities, the atmosphere of the whole team makes him weak. In addition, West Ham United's pursuit of defense, they seem to regard Newcastle United as the object of practice defense, Newcastle If you don't have any motivation to attack, you won't get any good opportunities. Perhaps the opponent's coach will be very satisfied in such a game, because they played a good defensive drill. Although there are no league points, it will be very helpful for West Ham United's future games---
Newcastle United seems to be the opposite!
As a leading team, Newcastle United should have continued to adhere to the team's style and constantly seek offense to let the team find a sense of adapting to the rhythm of the game, but the players did not cherish the opportunity. The football they played seems to be a waste of time. Don Jack is a sense of fans who bought home tickets to watch the game on the spot. It's not worth it. What's the point of such a game!?
I have to say that Newcastle United fans are very cute!
If it had been in Liverpool, Anfield would have been dissatisfied, but not at St. James's Park. Every Newcastle United fan watched the game silently. If there was something wonderful, they would cheer loudly. Even if the current time of the game makes people drowsy, they still improve their spirits. God is watching the game.
"Oh! Jack is dribbled the ball again! He is breaking through--"
"Hiller! Push shot - no, it's a pass -"
"Dyle's state doesn't seem to be very good. He didn't see Dyer's breakthrough in the second half. He chose to pass the ball to the middle, but the quality of the ball was so bad that Jack turned back more than two meters and didn't get the ball..."
...... People are always weak in stalemate games. Don Jack plays very boringly. Head coach Sones sees the same problems as Don Jack. In fact, Newcastle United has had this problem since last season.
Now in the team, many players do not pursue too much and have little confidence in the team. For example, some players in the team's defense, Carl, Boomson and Taylor, are all tough players in the year of playing, but their limited strength and the experience of professional players is very bumpy, which makes them feel that they are They have a good performance, that is, what they look like now. At Newcastle United, they have reached the peak of their career, and the salary is so much. Thinking about it again, Newcastle United itself is a strong Premier League team. There is no hope of winning the championship, and there is no need to worry about relegation. I'm afraid that living in such a team is their current pursuit.
The same is true of many midfielders. The most energetic players in Newcastle United are offensive players. Whether it is Owen, Don Jack or Jenners, the three are not willing to the status quo. They have been working hard. Owen and Don Jack belong to the same category. They want to lead the team to pursue the championship, and As a young player, Janus also wants to pursue a higher level of football and strive to become a star at the level of Owen and Don Jack.
Only with pursuit can you be motivated, so on the court, the three people are obviously more positive than other players.
But Soness is also helpless about this.
Not being active in football is by no means a problem for one or two players. This is a bad problem that the team has accumulated for a long time, even last season. Last season, it experienced the contradictions between stars and the club, the head coach and the club, and then the change of coach. When I took charge of Newcastle United, the team was almost one. It's a mess. Now it's a little more stable, but some of the remaining atmosphere has remained. Rectify!
Originally, Sones thought that it was very helpful to train the team's strength to make a new tactic for the team. However, Sones changed his mind and felt that rectifying the team's atmosphere was the most important thing. Just like Liverpool's Istanbul night, with AC Milan's three-ball lead, Liverpool still insists on continuing to work hard in the second half. Every player has not given up, has been helping the team, and has been pursuing victory. Such a spirit is the most important thing in the football game!
Put yourself in the other's shoes. If that team is replaced by Newcastle United, I'm afraid that even if God gives Newcastle United a chance, the whole Newcastle United team will give up in the second half, and the opportunity will not come to such a team at all.
Now Newcastle United, even with the best football players in the world, there is still no possibility of miracles!
※※※
The game continues...
In the second half, the two teams played tevely from the beginning. This situation even lasted for 30 minutes. At the end of the game, the whole audience felt that at the end of the game, a breakthrough by young player Jenas brought a free kick opportunity to the team.
That's a free kick about 27 meters away from the goal!
For ordinary players, such a distance can be regarded as very far. The average player's foot strength is not enough to kick the ball, which is a threat in terms of strength. After the football flight of more than 20 meters, the speed of reaching the goal will be a little low, so a free kick close to 30 meters is generally a tactical free kick. If you can score directly, it will be a goal and a gorgeous goal called 'world wave' by fans.
"Would you like to try it?"
Janus was going to play a tactical corner kick and let Don Jack and Owen grab the point, but Don Jack came towards the ball, and he asked doubtfully. Don Jack nodded and turned his head to look at the direction of the eyeball and said, "I want to try."
Janus spread out his hand, "All right."
Don Jack thought about pointing to the left side of the restricted area and said, "You can try to go to that position to grab points."
"Left?"
"Yes. If the opponent's goalkeeper doesn't pay attention to the ball I kick out, the landing point will be on the left side of the penalty area, where there is the best chance. Don Jack explained.
But Janus's eyes widened in disbelief.
As a talented young player in England, Janus is also very arrogant. Although the team has a new player, and with 'the world's first player', 'Mr. 60 million pounds', 'the world's most efficient striker', and even this guy is likely to be the winner of the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award this year. But Janus did not take the initiative to contact. He had his own arrogance. He felt that he might be very strong one day. Even now he is not much worse than the other party. All he needs is performance and appreciator, that is luck.
But now...
"You're not lying to me..." Janus had to think so, because it was too 'legendary'.
Jack Tang spread out his hands and said that he was serious.
Janus nodded and turned to the point pointed by Jack Don. He hoped that the football would really fall to that point, but the arrogance in his heart made him hope that the football would not fall there. 'If it really happens, the opponent's football skills are much better than himself'. Jenas is a little afraid to accept this. Love.
After the two reached a good time, the referee had signaled that he could take a free throw.
Janus's position, the opponent's defensive position, the goalkeeper Carol in front of the goal, West Ham United's wall... This kind of everything passed through Don Jack's eyes. He settled down, jumped twice in place, and took a deep breath.
"Huh..."
Taking a deep breath, Jack Don swings his legs in place and suffocated on the lower edge of the football.
"Wo..."
From the perspective of the big camera, the football even drove a few wisps of grass chips to fly. In an instant, the football had already flown over the blocked human wall and hung straight to the middle of the goal.
"....?" Janus, who was struggling with the opponent, hesitated in an instant as soon as he saw the ball.
The football route is right, but the football is too right. As long as the opponent's goalkeeper drags the football with both hands, he will definitely fly out of the crossbar. 'It's ridiculous. I thought it was true'. He thought so, but he continued to take a step forward with a glimmer of hope.
Carol thinks the same way!
As a goalkeeper, he has extremely rich experience. When he saw the trajectory of the football, he jumped up and dragged the ball with his hands for the first time. But the moment he touched the football, he felt strange - the football was spinning at a high speed!
This is difficult to control...
In Carol's surprise, the ball hit his hands and bounced to the left side of the penalty area... That's Janus, who has just taken a big step.
His mind was blank. Janus didn't know what space and environment he was in at all. He only knew how to put the ball to the net along the rhythm of his body. Carol, who had just jumped up, did not react quickly and could only watch the football fly into the goal from his left side.
The goal is scored!
※※※
"Are you God?"
Janus was a little excited after scoring, but he came to ask Don Jack this question at the first time. His eyes flashed with incredible goals, and those eyes contained doubts, unwillingness and a trace of worship.
"Haha, you really scored! You are so lucky!"
"Luck!?" Janus doesn't understand.
"Of course." Don Jack shook his head and said nothing more, but gave Janus a hug. He can't explain a word or two about professional football, but it's really lucky for Janus to score a goal just now.
Of course, it is not aimless for Don Jack to let Janus go to the left side of the penalty area.
Just like the first free kick, the ball he is playing now, unless he has 100% confidence to score, he will seriously kick the high-speed rotation ball. After so much training, he can control the steering of the football well, but it is too difficult to control such a ball. The only thing he can do is to hit the ball on the goal. Within the frame, if the foot feels bad, it is difficult to hit within the range of the door frame.
If the opposing goalkeeper knows him, he will definitely pull out the ball vigorously or punch it out with both hands, so that the football will generally fly out of bounds, but if the ball is dragged out with both hands, the football will definitely fall in a fixed direction in the rotation, and the outer rotation will definitely fall to the left just now, so Jack Tang let Jenner Go to the left to earn some money, which will give you a better chance.
You can imagine playing table tennis. In table tennis, the small ball is constantly publicized. If you don't push the ball hard, the ball will definitely go out of bounds. The reason is the same, but football is much bigger than table tennis. Few football players in the world can control the rotation of football. Even Don Jack is deeply powerless to control this, only It can be controlled slightly.
So Jenners is very lucky.
Think about it, his only advantage is that he is on the left side, but the football falls to the left does not necessarily fall at his feet. With a little deviation, Janus can't have a chance. As for God's words... Don Jack wants to say that I am God, but unfortunately he doesn't believe in that. He only believes in Buddhism.
This goal looks irrelevant in the big shot. I really realize that this is a good ball. Maybe it's only Don Jack, Jenas and the opponent's goalkeeper Carol. Even Newcastle United teammates only think that Jenas is lucky and energetic, and can make the most correct response at that moment. This is the performance that a good player should have.
Three to zero!
Newcastle United fans are very excited. Although there is nothing to see but goals in the game, Newcastle United leads by three goals after all, and all three goals are wonderful. Among them, Don Jack's statement is the most gratifying to the fans. The club spent 60 million pounds, which can even buy two or three of the world's most Top stars, and now the stars in exchange for so many transfer fees did not disappoint them. The wonderful 'Flying Fairy'-style goal made them intoxicated.
Such a team is expected. What's more, this game is the second round of the Premier League. Winning two consecutive rounds of the Premier League is already a very show-off record for Newcastle United. You know, just a few months ago, they were still worried about the team's relegation.
Arsenal, West Ham United, a Premier League giant and a promoted horse all fell at the foot of Newcastle United.
The new season of Newcastle United is worth looking forward to!
However, the feelings of the players on the field are different. After the three-goal lead, the ordinary players are in a better state of mind, so their performance is not improved. In the last three minutes of the game, the continuous mistakes in the backcourt gave West Ham United a chance, and the opposing striker Sheringham continued to carry the ball. He broke through the two and scored a goal in the backcourt of Newcastle United.
The score became three to one.
This is also the score at the end of the final game. Newcastle United defeated West Ham United at St. James Park at home. The media commented on the whole process of the game. They all praised Newcastle United this season. Don Jack was named the best player in the game, with two goals plus one kick, etc. So he indirectly assisted Janus's free kick, and he deserved the best in the game.
But after the game, Don Jack's face was not very happy, and he felt that the victory of the game was not interesting.
No matter how bad the Newcastle United lineup is, it is much better than West Ham United. There is nothing to be happy about defeating a promoted horse. The whole process of the game is the same. He even feels that he may be able to lead an amateur team to win such West Ham United, but the lack of fighting spirit of many teammates disappointed him. Of.
"I'm not satisfied with the game."
In an interview with the media, some media asked about Don Jack's best mood in the game. He unexpectedly said, "Victory is worth being happy, but I don't think it's anything. In the game, I saw the problem of the team. I don't like this kind of atmosphere. It's impossible to get good results in such a mental state.
"Football competition is not only a competitive competition, but also a spiritual competition. Although I have left Liverpool and it doesn't belong to me, I like the atmosphere of Liverpool, because in every game, whether our opponent is strong or weak, we can deal with it with a complete spirit, but not here, at least not in this game, the team played a mess in the second half. Especially the opponent's last goal, which should not have happened, but the opponent still scored.
"If you only watch the last five minutes of the game, you will never think that the two teams are Newcastle United and West Ham United. You will probably think we are the weak side, but the game was not over yet."
"I'm not aiming at a teammate, nor am I dissatisfied with Newcastle United. It just shows that the team's current problems in the game. There are also problems within the team, such as in training, or at other times, in the last game against Arsenal. The performance is really good. When you are in a weak position, you can deal with it with all your energy. This is right, but even if the opponent is not strong, we should play like this. This is respect for the opponent and football. It is also for other teammates, including clubs, and all the new players who support the team. The respect of Castle United fans!"
Finally, Don Jack said, "Yes, we should have a spirit of never giving up. Whether it's leading or falling behind, whether it's winning or losing, we should try our best to play until the last minute of the game!" This is the performance of the champion team!"
“...... No matter whether the team is strong or not.
