Chapter 431 Owen's goal shortage

Newcastle United's opponent in the third round is Bolton.

Bolton's performance last season was amazing. They ranked sixth in the Premier League and entered the League Cup. However, looking at Bolton's performance for two consecutive seasons (the previous season was eighth), this is actually the result of a steady improvement. Head coach Aledes is indeed very strong, he knows How to run the team and how to lead a small ball will cause trouble for the Premier League teams.

Bolton still adheres to the traditional Premier League football style, but this season, with the general strengthening of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and other teams, the media believes that it is not a lot of difficulty for Bolton to maintain the top six.

In the summer, Bolton's lineup also changed slightly. The new player Diouf was in Bolton last season. The goalkeeper Walker will not shake Yas Kleinin's position for the time being. The only difference is Mexican Borgeti, who showed a strong header ability in the Confederations Cup. This may be The place that Aledes is looking at.

Although Borgeti is thirty-one years old, it doesn't matter. In the famous "por care" Bolton, Borgeti is just a little brother...

This is Bolton.

It can be seen from the situation in the summer that Bolton's lineup and team are not strong, but under the leadership of Aledith, they entered the League Cup, which really surprised the media and fans. Aledith also became the 'most surprising coach', which is of course a compliment.

In this game, Bolton will play Newcastle United at home.

Newcastle United is being rectified.

The problems shown in the last game are obvious. Don Jack can say it in public. Naturally, he feels that the team must take the lead in facing this problem. Of course, Sones also knows that on the first day of the club's retraining, he focused on this issue.

"In my team, only those who try their best can play!"

After the training that morning, Soness said, "The performance of many people in the last game was not good, and I don't want to point out who it is, but you didn't do your best. The fans off the court can see it clearly, and I can also see it clearly! From now on, whether it is training or competition, everyone must do their best to complete it. If someone doesn't try their best or relax, I think many young people in the reserve team hope to participate in the Premier League, and I will consider giving them a chance!"

This threat is still very useful.

The main position, especially the main position of a medium-sized club such as Newcastle United, can be said to be very important, even more important than the main position of the giants. In a top rich team, every player is world-class, and even the replacement is worth tens of millions. For those players, or For stars who have reached the level of Don Jack and Owen, even if they don't play, their salaries will not be small, and fans and the media will not deny their strength. They just feel that they are in a bad state. Even some media and fans will criticize the head coach: the reason for losing is naturally that they did not let XX star play. Field.

But Newcastle United is different.

Except for a limited number of stars, almost all other players can be said to be blue-collar workers. Their main position is won by their own efforts. Although there are not many people in the team who can replace them, it is not difficult to reach their level. If there are really young players to replace them. With their position, maybe they will only have a way to go next summer. For some players, Newcastle United will probably not renew their contract with them next season.

This pressure is much greater than that of the star not playing!

** Nude survival pressure!

This afternoon, every player trained very hard and had little slack. In fact, the afternoon training is not cumbersome. It's just basic physical training and an hour of tactical exercise. This kind of training is done every day, but at the end of this afternoon's training, many players look particularly tired.

Seeing this scene, Don Jack knew who didn't work hard on weekdays.

People who don't make all their efforts and don't train seriously on weekdays are obvious at this moment. Because they don't train seriously on weekdays, they look tired now - it's not that they can't complete these trainings, it's just that long-term laziness makes them uncomfortable now.

Seeing that the players are working hard, Sones feels very good. As the head coach, he likes to see the players train hard, so that the team will exude a high fighting spirit, rather than the twilight atmosphere, which will bring bad luck and bad effects to the team. Sones wants to let the team in the future. Keep this state straight. Whoever doesn't train hard and doesn't play hard will let anyone sit on the bench, or even stay in the team and don't enter the list. Only such an iron hand can govern the current Newcastle United. After all, the team is not as good as before, and the dissatisfaction of the big star is even more serious than that of his head coach...

Soness doesn't care. He is not the so-called coaches. There are only three big stars in the team: Alan. Shearer, Don Jack and Michael. Owen, the former is the team's iconic star, and the latter two don't have to worry at all. The No. 10 boy is absolutely synonymous with hard work. The whole world is watching his performance. He doesn't play hard. Newcastle United's results may be worse, but he has to face more saliva, and Michael. Owen experienced a frustrated season at Real Madrid, and the Golden Boy's legs were trembling with excitement. All he needed was the start of the goal!

Goal!

For Owen, this is the most needed at present.

In the last game, Owen started, but Jin Tong may not trust his state. He has always chosen to pass the ball without shooting by himself. Only two shots were missed. This is a bad phenomenon. As the team's striker, it is not good to be afraid of shooting. In fact, the whole team knows this, Owen He knows very well, including Jack Don, but Owen still can't get rid of the goal shortage.

"Confident, like this!"

On the court, as soon as Don Jack's words fell, the football under his feet flew straight into the corner of the goal. Don Jack smiled at Owen and motioned him to have a try.

Owen shook his head helplessly and shot the ball into the goal frame. "It's useless. The game is different from now." Of course, it's different. The game is very tense.

"Haha, just a joke to see if your legs are so soft that you can't shoot!"

"How can it be!? Do you think I'm you?

"Oh, my God, I just found that you also have the potential of a bad boy (a sultry man)! How can you say such a thing?

"Haha!"

The joke between the two on the court has made Owen's mentality better. What he needs now is a kind of confidence. As long as he has confidence and adjusts his mentality when scoring goals, Owen believes that it is only a matter of time before he breaks the goal shortage---

Just in the next game!

Bolton, this opponent has some characteristics, but for Newcastle United, it can also be said that for Sones, there is no pressure in the game. At present, Newcastle United's lineup is complete. Although there are still problems in the team's tactics and cooperation, it should be the problem of winning an 'old team'. Not big. Even in the away game, Sones is very confident, mainly because he has a good card of Don Jack.

And what is Aldace?

---Borgetti, who can only grab the header?

---and his competitor, Kevin, the main striker. Davis?

That may be Bolton's star, but in Newcastle, these two players are nothing, because Newcastle United has Don Jack, not to mention Don Jack, Newcastle United and Alan. Shearer, there is Michael. Owen, even the young player Jenners, can cause great trouble for Bolton!

At the tactical level, the team's midfielder is Don Jack and Scott. Parker, the two can completely limit Bolton's midfielder with one attack and one defense. What else does the other side have besides the traditional long pass? Without the support of the midfield, how many chances can Bolton fight back by not being very good at it?

These are all questions, which is also Sones's view.

In fact, the media also thinks so. There is not much suspense in this game at all. They are concerned about whether Newcastle United's No. 10 Don Jack can continue his brave performance and Michael. Can Owen break his goal shortage? As for Bolton, the media that support Bolton certainly hopes that Bolton can 'create miracles'. In fact, even their fans are not very confident. Allardyce is a coach who can do miracles, but no matter how he works miracles, he can't lead Bolton to defeat an unshakable enemy... In the hearts of English fans, there are two of the most difficult opponents in the Premier League at present. One is Chelsea, the Blues are almost an unbeaten myth, and the other is Newcastle United, because they have 'English famous star' Don Jack, and even Alan. Shearer and Jin Tong.

With the joining of Don Jack and Owen, Newcastle United has more supporters.

※※※

Bolton is in the north of Blackburn, not far from Newcastle Harbor, and only a 45-minute drive by high-speed rail. On the 28th, Newcastle United arrived in Bolton at noon, and the two teams officially started at 2:30 p.m.

Bolton's formation is not unexpected. The goalkeeper is Yasclerin, defenders Hunter, Benhaim, Jaydi and Gardner, midfielders Jennakopross, Spide, Campo, Okocha, Diouf, and the center Borghetti is at the forefront of the team. Looking at the formation, their playing style is still a long pass. Allardyce still wants to use the team's best style to try to beat Newcastle United at Reebok.

The formation of Newcastle United is also not unexpected, and the top is still Michael. Owen, Don Jack, Bolton's most feared killer, stood in the middle, Alan. Shearer sat on the bench and partnered with Owen was Luke. This was his first appearance in the Premier League, which was his debut in the Premier League.

This game, Scott. Parker sat on the bench.

Soanes considers adaptability more when platooning. Bolton's opponent in this game is not strong in the middle, which makes Jenners start more useful than Parker. The latter is the hope star of Newcastle United. It will be better to play a few more games. If Janus can adapt to the cooperation with Don Jack, Perhaps he will replace Parker's main position, even in the front court, act as the front waist to organize the attack, so that it is not impossible for Jenas and Owen to compete for the striker position.

For young generals, the position of the front court is not such a big obstacle.

Such a lineup is a direct blow to Bolton. Allardyce is most afraid of Newcastle United going to play an important midfield. As a result, Sones really did this. This is almost a skillful play. Bolton's midfield is soft, but Newcastle United has to insert two knives in the soft to break the soft, regardless of Bolton. No matter how they play, they have to compete for the midfield and have room to pass the ball to attack, but the midfield is cut off, and they can only play defensive counterattacks at home, which is very unfavorable to Bolton.

The game is as the media imagined. With the cooperation of Don Jack and Janus, Bolton has almost no space to pass the ball in the middle. Their two sides can't 'fly' at all due to their age, which makes Newcastle United quite easy in defense and naturally plays smoothly.

However, Jin Tong's right foot really doesn't work well...

In the first half, Don Jack has been making the ball in order to let Owen recover as soon as possible. If he didn't have a chance, he first passed it to Owen to carry the ball. He even asked Jenas to make the ball: "If there is a chance to give Michael, if he can score a goal, we will win quite easily!"

After the last game, after Don Jack's wonderful free kick passed and let Janus scored the first goal in the Premier League, Janus almost became Don Jack's admirer. He obeyed Don Jack very much. Hearing this, Janus also began to keep looking for opportunities for Owen, but the state of the Golden Boy was indeed Not very good, or Owen was always nervous when shooting, which made him waste four chances in the first half.

Four chances!

Even the head coach Soness on the sidelines can't stand it anymore. He is even considering replacing Alan. Shearer!

"Michael, kick well, it's okay!" At halftime, Don Jack comforted Owen. In fact, Don Jack knew that Owen was the most depressed person at present. They were just playing the ball, and Owen wasted so many opportunities. He must feel uncomfortable. Even if Owen didn't say anything, Don Jack still decided to try again in the second half, England's golden boy. Owen's strength is naturally guaranteed to be praised by fans. More importantly, it is difficult for the opponent to pose too much threat to Newcastle United, and it is also good to practice the game.

In the second half, Sones replaced Scott. Parker, Luke, who has been chaotic and has no performance, has been replaced. Newcastle United's formation has become 451. Just a little premise of Janus' position, Don Jack has become the core of the midfielder. In this way, all the offensive power is handed over to Don Jack, and the other attacking players and the offensive rhythm of the whole team are in hand. It's under the feet of Don Jack.

"Newcastle United has changed. I think this is the tactic that Sones developed for Jack. Such a formation will be very suitable for Jack. Bolton is in danger!" The commentator of Newcastle United said so.

Sky TV has different views: "Newcastle United has strengthened the middle. Luke's performance is mediocre. Parker's appearance is to increase control over the middle and midfield. Bolton is more difficult to play, but Newcastle Lenovo has to score a goal to win."

It's useless to dominate the situation, mainly to score goals!

Newcastle United did not score in the second half in the first ten minutes. The game between the two teams looked extremely dull. Don Jack was defended to death. He has been constantly attacking Bolton's defense. As a result, Bolton's defense was very tight. In the second half, they seemed to have learned a lesson and took the initiative to defend. The chance of young player Jenners. A lot, but there are not many real good opportunities. Janus doesn't seem to be in the state when Robson was coaching. In short, this guy has been wasting opportunities. Fortunately, his pass has been very stable, making Michael. Owen frequently got the ball near the penalty area.

Newcastle United needs Owen's goal!

At this time, the pressure was almost all on Owen. He was surprised to feel this: with Don Jack's Newcastle United, how could the pressure be on himself?

But this is the case at present.

In the fifty-ninth minute, Newcastle United played another wave of advance, Don Jack, Janus, Scott. Parker led the middle attack all the way smoothly, and finally the football was handed over to the foot of Janus. He must have pushed the ball directly to the small penalty area line.

"Michael!"

Jenners pushed the ball too accurately. Don Jack looked at the ball and even thought that if he didn't score again, he would shoot directly in the future. Jin Tong is really untrustworthy: the main reason is that the defenders are all around him, and Owen has only one central defender Jaidi who has been thrown away!

Jadi!??

Who is that?

All Newcastle United fans are making this cry. Although they don't know the name of the players around Owen, the same thing is that they don't know the name, and Owen has rushed to the penalty line, and the football is rushing from the left to the foot, and the goalkeeper Asclining is still at the goal. On the other side...

The door is empty!

"Michael--" shouted the Sky TV commentator.

"Wow..." Newcastle United fans took a deep breath.

Janus stopped.

Don Jack stared in the direction of the goal.

Alan. Shearer stood up from the bench with head coach Sones.

Many players clenched their fists...

At this moment, everyone's eyes are on one person---

"Michael-Irving-"

"Wo..."

The sound of the stadium seemed to announce something. When the football crossed the goal line, everyone, including Don Jack, jumped up. They were for Newcastle United's goal, but also Owen's goal - Jin Tong, finally broke his goal shortage!

There is only one person, and only one person is not like this. That is Owen, who scored the goal. He stared at the football of the goal for a long time and recalled the feeling of shooting just now. It felt very familiar, a kind of victory and confidence, a kind of tenacity and courage. That is absolute self-confidence. It's a success!

Goal, belong to yourself!

Hot tears can't help pouring out of my eyes...

"Congratulations, Michael!" Don Jack rushed the first one to throw Owen to the ground.

Next was one teammate. They all rushed over and shouted, as if Owen had become a delicious meal... And Owen just kept saying with dim eyes: "Thank you, thank you..."

This is for everyone, and also for yourself!
