Chapter 484 This is professional football!

At halftime, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

The two teams tied in the first half, but Newcastle United have been at a disadvantage. This is a situation they haven't encountered for a long time. Don Jack came on the court, and many times the team locked the victory in the first half, just like the last game against Liverpool. They led by three goals in the first half. The players were naturally in a good mood without pressure.

Before this game, the team felt that Arsenal was better than Liverpool, and what was more important was that Liverpool was better at defense. Newcastle United hated this kind of defensive counterattack team. They were as difficult as Chelsea, while Arsenal was an offensive team. Defense was not a strong point. In this way, Newcastle The United players all think it will be easy.

But the game is much more difficult!

Newcastle United scored two goals, but the two goals have a lot to do with Don Jack's personal level. On the contrary, it has little to do with the team's overall strength. Throughout the first half, Arsenal has always had an advantage, which made everyone suddenly find that in addition to Don Jack, the team's overall strength is obviously worse than Arsenal!

In fact, in the minds of the media and fans, without Don Jack, Newcastle United would not be called a weak team...

The players didn't realize this before. They thought the team was strong enough, but now Owen is also injured. The specific situation will not know until the test results come out. Without Owen, except for Don Jack, Newcastle United is really more than a little worse than Arsenal. When Don Jack comes forward. After waiting for the ball, Newcastle United's defense line is in danger.

This is also where Don Jack is distressed.

When he was in Liverpool, he could go to the front court and wait for the opportunity, which was a great threat to other teams. Because Liverpool's defense was solid, he would get a lot of opportunities, but this game against Arsenal had little effect. Arsenal even gave up its defense against Don Jack, but instead Start the continuous attack to seek the breakthrough of the goal.

They did it!

This proves that Newcastle United's defense has pulled Don Jack's attack. Newcastle United's confidence is too weak to win a team like Arsenal.

The players also realized this, and they didn't look very well.

Who would have thought that it would not feel good to pull the back of their teammates, but they did not feel guilty. After all, although Newcastle United's results are good, they are not rich like Manchester United and Arsenal. In fact, in addition to Don Jack's luxury contract, even Owen only holds it. A contract with a weekly salary of £60,000, and the team's leader Alan. Shearer's weekly salary is only 20,000 pounds, which is not as high as that of midfielder Jenners.

In this comparison, players will naturally not feel guilty. After all, their salary and strength are not equivalent and are basically the same. It is normal for them not to play with Arsenal.

But that's only theoretically. The continuous victory makes Newcastle United players feel that the team should win against Arsenal. There is no reason for them to lose in the offensive battle. They put their hopes on the second half, on coach Sonness. If they can't solve it, they can only find the head coach to solve it.

Coach Sones is not very clear about the players' thoughts, but this does not prevent him from seeing the disadvantage of the first half and the team's current problems.

"We need to suppress them with attack..."

As soon as he entered the locker room, Soness put down a stack of documents at hand and said directly in the dull locker room.

Most players think that the team should defend. Unexpectedly, the head coach said this. Everyone looked up and listened to Soness's explanation: "You're right. We still need to attack!"

In the second half, whether the main route is offensive or defensive is easier to win. In fact, Sones is not clear. The head coach is not a fairy. It is impossible to know everything. The suppression in the first half is the reason for the overall strength of Newcastle United. This cannot be changed. What can be changed is the team's mental outlook and morale.

If you continue to defend, the team will still be beaten by Arsenal!

That's for sure!

Can relying on Newcastle United's back line to defend Arsenal's attack? It's basically impossible.

So Sones thinks not about defense, but attack. As long as they can force Arsenal's formation to retreat with an overwhelming attack, they have no gasp. Naturally, the situation will develop in the direction of Newcastle United victory. What's more, the team also has a superstar like Don Jack, who can score a goal if they have the opportunity. .

While the players are thinking, Sones is thinking about how to motivate everyone to play.

At this time, Jack Don saw his teammate's dead look and scolded loudly, "Everyone cheer up. It's only two to two. Fuck-you, will you become women if you are equalized!"

"You bastard!"

"Get out, you are the woman!"

"Fuck!!"

......

Jack Don's words detonated all kinds of abuse in the locker room. As a professional player, he doesn't have a good temper. If he is scolded, he will definitely come back. Jack Don's words are a group sarcasm. They immediately scold, even if the head coach is here.

However, Jack Don has achieved his goal.

As the captain of the team, he must shoulder the responsibility of letting his teammates regain their self-confidence. After everyone scolding, the melancholy atmosphere in the locker room eased a lot, and his teammates also understood Don Jack's mood, but everyone still nagging. Soness never said it. After a while, he signaled to be quiet with both hands.

Sones pointed to the tactical board and began to arrange tactics: "We will change the formation in the second half. We will play 343. Alan, you play as the center. Jack and Ameobi play left and right forwards. Jack pay attention to your running range and try not to grab Ameobi's position. We still mainly play in the middle, and don't carry the ball too deep on the two sides. Enter..."

When Sones finished explaining the tactics, the time was almost time. Everyone reorganized their jerseys and was ready to play. Before leaving, Don Jack glanced at the documents on the stool. It was a case monitoring sheet. The name was Michael. Owen, he curiously wanted to pick it up and have a look. Sones immediately grabbed it and stared at him.

Don Jack felt puzzled and shook his head and walked out of the locker room.

It's better to know Owen's injury after the game, otherwise he will not be in a good mood for the influence game, but he has a bad feeling that if the injury is not serious, Sones has no reason not to show it to him.

After 15 minutes of halftime, the fans on the court were also refreshed and ready to watch the game.

Arsenal coach Wenger is quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. His confidence before the game is not sufficient. After all, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all fallen at the feet of Newcastle United. With Arsenal's strength, it is not easy to fight with Newcastle United, but after a half, Wenger has enough. Confidence, he found the flaws of Newcastle United: the midfield and backfield is very weak, which was known to everyone before, but they didn't think of a way to break through it. The main reason is that Newcastle United's attack was too fierce, but the first half proved that Arsenal could successfully suppress their opponents with attack, so that their weak disadvantage in the backcourt was maximized, thus Limit their attack.

Despite the draw, Arsenal have a great advantage.

Therefore, Wenger did not adjust Arsenal's tactics, but still used the tactics of the first half, mainly attacking the middle and the left, while the right forward Hereb is responsible for cooperating with the middle. He can also fork at the right time. He can also pay attention to the defense of the backfield. Although the main attack center is not the right, he Leb has a lot of tasks. Players in this position must have comprehensive ability. Hleb is valued by Wenger only because of his comprehensive skills.

In the middle, Arsenal relied on the cooperation between Fabregas, Gilberto and frontcourt Henry to carry out a short pass penetration to open Newcastle United's defense and find loopholes to create scoring opportunities.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal and Newcastle United put up substitution cards almost at the same time. Newcastle United replaced central defender Taylor and replaced Alan. Shearer, while Arsenal replaced the young player Adebayor and veteran Borgcamp.

This scene made the atmosphere of the whole audience reach **!

Before the game, many media compared the veterans of the two teams. The two teams are really similar. Arsenal has the best striker in the Netherlands in the 1990s, and Newcastle United has England's best striker Alan in the 1990s. Shearer, the age difference between the two is not big, but don't treat them as a kind of striker. Although they are both strikers, their styles are very different.

Alan. The best reason for Shearer is that he has scored a lot of goals, that is to say, Hiller is a pure shooter. He is very strong, good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal, and more as a single-forward shooter for the team. Borgkamp is not. He is better at passing the ball. If described, Borgkamp is better at playing shadow forwards or In his former waist position, his passing is very exquisite. Almost every striker who cooperates with Borgkamp can score a lot of goals. He is a master of passing. Henry's crazy scoring performance in Arsenal for several seasons has to be said to have a lot to do with Borgkamp's passing.

When two people play, whether it is the emperor Alan at St. James's Stadium. Shearer, his current opponent, Borgkamp, has received applause from all the fans in the audience. In the face of these two veterans, any fan will express his inner praise. Football knows no boundaries. Even if Borgkamp is an Arsenal player and a Dutch veteran, his career is worthy of anyone's praise. Of.

After Borgkamp came on the field and Henry, Hiller stood at the forefront of the formation.

The difference between the two positions can be seen from here. Shearer is the center, and the position of Borgkamp is even lower. After the game starts, fans are looking forward to the performance of the two veterans. Of course, more people hope that Shearer can perform better, which is more likely to represent Newcastle United to win.

Shearer hasn't been on the court for a long time. Although Shearer's performance on the court is not bad, his physical fitness can't keep up. Usually, Don Jack and Shear have a lot of cooperation in training, but on the court, if he plays like Don Jack for ten minutes, it is estimated that Shear will have to be carried out of the court by a stretcher, so Xi Le plays a more important role in playing. As long as Shearler is near the Arsenal penalty area, they have to assign manpower to defend - Shearer is basically not nervous. If he gets a chance, sometimes it is more terrible than Don Jack!

Old general, never be despised!

Arsenal's offensive is still fierce. They seem to want to defeat Newcastle United in one breath. At the beginning, they bombed Newcastle United at half. Don Jack kept shouting 'Stabilize, don't worry' on the court. He was afraid that the rash offensive football would be robbed again. If he wanted to 'attack back', he must seek Steady attack and continuous mistakes can only make the team passively defend.

Taking advantage of an opportunity to get out of the sideline, the football was handed over to Don Jack. He was not in a hurry to attack, but slowly took the ball in the backcourt. Henry came forward to grab the ball. Don Jack passed the ball to his teammates, and then his teammates passed the ball back.

Arsenal's attack is even more advanced. In the three-legged pass, they did not go to defend, but the midfield has advanced.

If ordinary fans see Arsenal's formation, they must think that they have been hit by Newcastle United's strategy, because football is still at the feet of Newcastle United, but in fact, this is the most threatening all-court rush, that is, forcing Newcastle United to make them unable to pass and catch the ball normally in the backcourt, so that it can be pushy. Let the offensive initiative be in the hands of the Arsenal.

Don Jack didn't pass the ball again this time. To be honest, he just didn't believe in the strength of his teammates.

Football is at the foot of teammates, and it is difficult to pass the ball, and Arsenal is too forward to grab it. Arsenal is another wave of attacks. No one can guarantee whether Arsenal can score, and all footballs are the safest under their feet.

Don Jack slowly carried the ball along the right road, and Henry came up again. Don Jack made a small change of direction and left Henry behind him with a gossip footwork. Then he immediately made a small acceleration. Henry had to shift the target and slowly retreat to defend the others, otherwise he would run with his teammate.

Piraeus came forward.

Arsenal didn't bag it. This is still the half of Newcastle United. Pyle was afraid that Don Jack would start quickly and got stuck on Don Jack's dribble route early. If Don didn't care about the rushing dribble, it must be a foul. Pyle used the rules very cleverly, but at this time, Don Jack passed The ball, he handed it over to Parker's feet, and then immediately started to accelerate over Pires, and the football also passed back.

Arsenal players have not realized that although the Newcastle United formation is 343, it actually uses the tactics of attacking with Don Jack as the core.

No matter where Don Jack goes, the team's formation revolves around him. Parker's running position is like this. Parker has been following Jack Don and waiting to pick him up. When Arsenal players realize the threat, Don Jack has broken through the center line. At this time, ordinary players must He will look at the front field, but Don Jack is still dribble the ball, and there is no one in front of him.

After running ten meters in a row, Jack Don slowed down.

There is a reason why Sones said at halftime that he should try not to break through the bottom line. Arsenal's defenders are very dense in the middle, that is to say, their defense on the side is lax, but this kind of laxness is nothing. Newcastle United can easily break into the bottom line, but in fact, the opportunity to cross is Not much, because Arsenal always has players on the side of the penalty area to make up for it, so they can only get more opportunities in the middle.

Don Jack also wanted to attack from the middle, but at this time, two Arsenal players came up to block his dribble route. He could only take two more steps along the side road. Just when the retreating Pire thought that Don Jack was going to break through the bottom line, he found that the football suddenly rolled back from behind the brunette boy, and Piray There was no response, and the football reached the feet of Jenas beside him.

Janus's performance is not outstanding, but he is definitely a competent midfielder!

When receiving the pass, Janus first looked for the direction of Don Jack's running. Everyone thought that Janus would directly hang in a long pass, or carry the ball forward by himself, but Janus pushed the football with the inside of his foot, and the football rolled along the parallel side line to the right area of the penalty area in the opposite direction.

Pure followed the defense line of the football and saw the other party's black-haired boy running to the right side of the penalty area...

At this time, you must use the outer instep to shoot. The 45-degree shot to the goal can almost only push the far corner, but the straight line is basically blocked by the goalkeeper Lehman. Generally, players must not have time to think. These thoughts only lasted in Don Jack's mind for a moment. The next moment, he chose to believe in his teammates!

Far corner!

At Don Jack's feet, the football rotates and flies to the far corner of the goal!

"Jack's shot..."

With the shouting of the commentator, the football flew from the jumping Lehman with his hands, but deviated and turned back. Following the direction of the football, a black and white jersey appeared in the eyes of the fans. They had not seen who it was, but the football had been pulled into the empty goal by the player.

"Ameoby!"

Left forward Ameoby, the on-site commentator shouted the name. No one expected that this attack would end with Ameoby, and no one thought that Newcar United would score a goal in the first attack in the second half!

Arsenal players look helpless!

This is exactly what Don Jack wants to see. The goal is actually a little unexpected. He didn't expect the attack to be so smooth, but it can destroy the fighting spirit of Arsenal players better than anything else. As long as the team is morale, the game will be much easier.

Three to two.

Ame Obi was very excited after scoring the goal. When Don Jack attacked from the right, in fact, Ame Obi felt that he would be a wooden stake again, otherwise he would have inserted it. When Don Jack passed the ball, Ame Obi thought of going forward to make up for the shot, but he didn't expect the football to fall towards him. Ame Obi rushed forward. Rush, finally hit the ball.

He is very excited.

In Newcastle United, he is the fourth striker besides Don Jack, Owen and Shearer. Don Jack sometimes plays midfield. Shearer's physical fitness is too poor, and Owen is always injured. In fact, Ameoby still has a lot of opportunities to play. In recent games, he basically has time to play in every game, and half He is the starting player. Ameobi is still very satisfied with the current situation. All he lacks is a goal.

"Jack, thank you!" Ameobi hugged Don Jack and said excitedly.

Of course, he wants to thank Jack Tang, because this goal is almost not difficult, just run over and push the empty goal, that's all. Under the court, Arsenal head coach Wenger was losing his temper over the team's leak. He and the assistant coach said, "Why was there no one on the right point just now? What about Toure? Where's Ebo?"

Toure is defending Shearer, and Ebo was thrown away by Ameoby...

In fact, this goal has some credit to Ebo. When Don Jack dribbled the ball and passed the ball, Ebo thought that the attack was over. There were two results, one was a goal and the other was out of the bottom line, but he didn't expect that the ball was a pass, and Ameobi, who he defended, was the best to make up for the shot, and he couldn't make up. The idea of trying is to move forward.

If the two people have different mentality, they will naturally behave differently.

This is also the reason why Wenger was angry. He saw that the team's defense was lax at that moment, which was related to the efforts of the players on the field. No matter where the football is, he must do his job well. The game is like this. It is not that one side can win with strong strength. Efforts are often more important than strength. After all, it is Premier League players, what's the difference between 10 million players and 1 million players?

If it really comes to the court, 10 million players are likely to roam the whole game, while the one worth of one million will have several wonderful performances because of their pursuit.

This is professional football!
