Chapter 453 Pre-war 1
Before Newcastle United's League Cup journey began, the team's game with Chelsea attracted a lot of attention.
In this season's Premier League, the most dazzling team belongs to Chelsea. They can call each game the focus. Newcastle United is very low-key than Chelsea. They just bought the world's number one footballer before the summer, and then brought the striker Owen of the England national team from Real Madrid. Wen has no place at all in Real Madrid, which is not a great transfer. However, because of Don Jack, Newcastle United overtook Chelsea in the summer and became the first buyer in football in the summer.
But compared with Chelsea, Newcastle United is low-key enough.
Thinking about the arrogance of the Blues, it has become a popular topic in the English media. After every league, Chelsea coach Mourinho opens the topic to talk about the game. His big mouth offended many people and also brings news one news after another, which makes Chelsea the focus of all European media. Chelsea's performance is really good. With nine consecutive wins at the beginning of the game, their horrible record made them at the top of the league.
But before the war, the media found that Newcastle United, which had been ranked second and did not receive much attention, was actually the same as Chelsea's points. The three points missing were only because the match between Newcastle United and Blackburn would be rematched during the truce in January after Christmas, that's all!
This fact embarrass Chelsea, which has always been high-profile.
What Chelsea is the first in the league, what is Chelsea's unparalleled record, and what is Chelsea's gorgeous lineup? Compared with the previous game of the two teams, Chelsea has won nine consecutive victories, but they lost to Manchester United, and against Manchester United and Arsenal, Newcastle United can win. In comparison, Newcastle On the contrary, Er United's performance is better. Unfortunately, Newcastle United only has a less famous coach - Sones. Sones is low-key and does not receive much attention, which leads to the media to have a feeling that Chelsea is like a giant, while Newcastle United is like a dark horse from the countryside, but with the progress of the league The dark horse will definitely lose one day, but after more than a dozen rounds of the league, the record of the two teams is still the same as at the beginning of the game, which is very thought-provoking.
What's more, the importance of this game can be seen!
Now Newcastle United and Chelsea are the most powerful contenders for the English Premier League championship. The desire of defending champion Chelsea to win the championship is obvious. Although Newcastle United only has a low-key coach and most of the players are also very low-key, Don Jack has been interviewed several times, he said. The team's goal must be the championship, and this game may be the most important battle in their championship!
Chelsea VS Newcastle United!
Newcastle United is away from home. It is not easy to win the Stamford Bridge game, but because of this, Newcastle fans are more looking forward to victory. If they can win Chelsea, they can return to the first place in the league with one less game. It is the most effective way to get points from competitors one after another. The score.
In the same way, Chelsea must win!
If you want to compete for the league championship, in Mourinho's view, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are no longer the most direct competitors. The latter's three teams have a bad record this season. It is very difficult to catch up with Chelsea, and Newcastle United is a direct competitor. Only three points from the opponent can stabilize Chelsea's position. Otherwise, it will be gorgeous for half a season. When Newcastle United has one more game, then Chelsea's first place in the league is just a puppet that can be squeezed down at any time. Mourinho doesn't want to do this. There is an enemy behind him who can catch up at any time. It's really terrible.
It's not the first time for Newcastle United to play against a strong team.
In the previous matches, they defeated Arsenal and Manchester United one after another. Don Jack contributed two goals in both games. Newcastle United also won in the end. Now it's just an opponent replaced by Chelsea, and it's an away game. Everyone knows the importance of this battle. This is the final test of Newcastle United. The cornerstone, Soness is very clear that the current team lineup is definitely not as good as Chelsea. The two teams can be said to be completely incomparable. Of course, Chelsea and Newcastle United are not comparable. Similarly, they don't have a super player like Don Jack. This is an advantage and a disadvantage, but football match has never been Just looking at strength, unity, morale, state and other aspects are all very important. If Chelsea can be defeated, the team's morale will definitely rise to a peak. Before Christmas, the team is likely to have no pressure to deal with the next small ball club games, and then the stage will perform better. This is New Zealand. Castle United's road to the championship is very important.
The game is no longer just three points!
For Sones, it is also very important for the team. Don Jack has been suspended for a month and a half, but this month and a half is not in vain. Newcastle United is still training, and Soness is still improving his own lineup and style of play. From the beginning to now, the Newcastle United lineup and the players' respective state performance base. Ben has stabilized, and the game is also a test of Newcastle United's training results during this period---
In short, the game is very important for Newcastle United!
※※※
Compared with the two teams, Chelsea has a gorgeous lineup. Their tens of millions of pounds men are likely to sit on the bench one by one, and Newcastle United's defense can't even match a bench player from Chelsea. But it doesn't matter. Newcastle United has Jack, who is known by UEFA as the 'world's first player today'. One person can beat Chelsea two or three players or more. Of course, this is a little exaggerated, but when Jack is in good shape, his performance is amazing. The battle between the two teams can be called a battle between collective strength and individual strength, but don't forget that Newcastle United still needs Michael. Owen, Luke, and even Alan, who is in very good condition. Shearer. As for their back line? Does Newcastle United have a back line?
It's really bad...
There is no need to say more about Newcastle United's defense. It is not a matter of breaking, but it is also one of the bottom teams in the Premier League. Moreover, generally speaking, the players at the bottom of the back and the rich have a solid defense, and even the whole team has been defending, but Newcastle United has obviously been supplementing it with attack. The defense is insufficient, and their strong offensive power will definitely be able to defend if they don't dare to say it!
Chelsea can't do it either!
"Chelseas has almost the best defense in the world. Mourinho was born for utilitarian football. The victory of defense is a strong reflection in Chelsea, but Chelsea's propulsion attack is also very strong. This season's big wins are almost all created by Chelsea and Newcastle United. It's made by Chelsea.
However, Chelsea has not been in good shape recently...
Losing the game with Manchester United, it doesn't seem to matter, but in fact, Chelsea lost the Champions League group stage a few days ago. Their overall performance was sluggish. Mourinho's old opponent, Arsenal coach Wenger, said: "The ownership of the Premier League title is still pending. Chelsea and Newcastle United have the most opportunities. Great, Manchester United and Arsenal also have the same opportunity. However, in this regard, Chelsea head coach Mourinho retorted, "Don't be delusional. The champion will be our "Blue Legion" sooner or later."
Mourinho claimed that it was normal for the team to lose, and it was not a shame. He said, "I'm not the kind of coach who cries when I lose. I'm the kind of person who seeks solutions. I have been doing this since we lost to Real Betis and Manchester United. It's not a shame to lose, because we were the champions last season. We are the leader of the league, and we will win the championship for the second time in a row this year. As for the next opponent, Newcastle United's head coach Sones, is symbolically ignored. In the eyes of the public, the coach Sones's tone is not even as good as Don Jack and Owen.
Mourinho said contemptuously: "The game we lost to Manchester United was only the 50th Premier League game I coached. We have not lost 40 consecutive games before. However, these statistics are meaningless.
