Chapter 521 Attack!
After playing Manchester United, Newcastle United's league opponent became Liverpool.
The last time I met with Liverpool, it was the first time that Jack Don faced his old club. At that time, his performance was very good. Jack Don still showed his strength at Anfield, showing off his performance that all Liverpool fans were fascinated.
Liverpool's results this season are mediocre. At present, they can only compete with Manchester United for the third place in the league. There are still several teams chasing after them. In the league, Liverpool's situation is not very good. They are so careless that they will not even qualify for the Champions League next season.
But recently, Liverpool has performed perfectly!
The league victory made the gap between them and Manchester United smaller and smaller. Gerrard's excellent performance and the outbreak of Ciessey brought stable results to the team, and in the FA Cup, their performance was even more eye-catching. In the last round, Liverpool beat St. Andrews by seven goals, let everyone see Liverpool's strength. Terrible!
In front of more than 20,000 Birmingham players in St. Andrews, Liverpool won 7-0, which also made it easy for them to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Returning to the league, Liverpool won three consecutive victories. With the victory of Newcastle United, they caught up with Manchester United's three league points, and the gap between the two teams was only three points. It is. However, Liverpool seems to value the cup more, perhaps because there is no hope for the league championship this season.
After the game, coach Benitez showed that the team wants the Reds to win the FA Cup, while captain Gerrard and Crouch, who have been in good shape recently, hope that the team will continue to keep the scoring trend.
Benitez said: "We have won a trophy this season, the Super Cup, and we hope that the FA Cup can be the second. We always hope to do well in the cup. This kind of competition is different. The FA Cup is very important to us. We are confident and will try to do the same thing in the next round, but we must win the game every time to see what happens." I'm very happy with the final result and the performance of the players tonight. They worked really hard. This is the first time in my career that I have won 7 goals. Sometimes you have a lot of shots, but no goals, just like the recent game against Charlton, but you send the ball in almost every time tonight. Sometimes you need some luck in front of the goal. We will be lucky if we have two goals tonight.
"Although I predicted victory in the comments before the game, you can't play such a high-intensity game as 3 days and 2 games. We changed some players tonight, so we must stay active on the court. I have been doing this for this season. The players all want to keep the goal and keep the door open. I'm especially happy about the return of Sissotko, which is really good news for us, and he also shows good characteristics.
But what awaits them is a tough battle!
Newcastle United just met Manchester United and then Liverpool, and the Reds are not doing well. They have just won a period of victory and are about to fight against Newcastle United. After that, Benitez has to face the bottom of the most troublesome form of the whole season
Liverpool's city derby. In fact, Liverpool has no hatred for Newcastle United. The two teams are just a Don Jack. This deal is beneficial to both sides. Liverpool has received a lot of funds, making Liverpool's finances the best in England this season. Of course, what is about the overall finances, Chelsea The club belongs to a club that has lost tens of millions of pounds in a season, and they have little to say. Newcastle United got Don Jack, which is equivalent to getting the future of the team. The two clubs are mutually beneficial, and no one has taken advantage of it.
It is also very difficult to play against Newcastle United, but Liverpool is not forced to win. Benitez does not have so much pressure, and Everton is different. For the Reds, the most important game of the season is the same city derby. They have to use 120 percent of the strength. To deal with it, many media have also analyzed the form of Liverpool. Most people are no longer hopeful about the intensity of this game.
This is good news for Newcastle United.
Newcastle United may be worse than Liverpool. Liverpool can lose, but Newcastle United can't afford to lose, because there has always been a Chelsea chasing in the league. Losing a game may be related to the final ownership of the league championship.
"We must treat every game as a final!" The game here refers to the league, and Soness's words are quoted by many media.
Recently, there have been some media reports that Mr. Moratti, the president of Inter Milan, is ready to find a new coach for Inter Milan to lead Inter Milan out of trouble.
Many media say that Inter Milan is a whirlpool. Since two thousand years later, they have been hiring new coaches and recruiting the best football players in the world, but Inter Milan's results are not very good. Whether it is an international arena or a domestic league, they have no outstanding performance. Many famous coaches have gone, and many excellent players have gone, but when they come to Inter Milan, they seem to have entered a quagmire and disappear all of a sudden. Only when they come out of Inter can they have a good performance.
This is Inter Milan.
Such a reputation makes many players not want to try it in person, but the world's big coaches flock to it. Perhaps they want to try their own ability. If they can succeed in Inter Milan, it really represents a kind of glory.
Italian media rumors have it that Mr. Moratti, the chairman of Inter Milan, has taken a fancy to the two figures in English football: Mourinho and Sones. The former is the best football coach in the 21st world, while the latter has become a popular figure this season, leading Newcastle United all the way through. Although more fans think that Don Jack is the key, it is obvious that without a good coach, Newcastle United can't maintain such a result.
"I haven't thought about next season, but I don't think I'll leave Newcastle." In the face of inquiries from the gossip media, Soness said, "The important thing is this season. Our journey has just begun, and it's too early to talk about next season."
Although he didn't say it directly, Sones's appearance clearly shows that Inter Milan had private contact with him.
Coincidentally, Inter Milan President Moratti believes that England has a good coach who can lead Inter Milan out of trouble, while Real Madrid also believes that the coach of the Premier League can help the Galactic Battleships. The person they like is Liverpool coach Benitez, which is extremely affirmed by the Spanish media. In response to the recent news that Inter Milan and Real Madrid are interested in inviting him to join, Liverpool's head coach Benitez quickly refuted the rumor that his future is in Liverpool and he will not go anywhere.
The Spanish coach is recently discussing the renewal of the contract with the club. He said: "I'm very happy here. I have no problem continuing to coach in Liverpool. My goal is to share difficulties with the club. The board of directors has allocated funds for the transfer. My cooperation with the coaching staff is also very pleasant. Our goal for next season is the league championship. My negotiation with the club went well, and it was almost completed. Talking about the rumors that he transferred to other teams, Benitez is also generous. He is very happy that he connects with some of the top European clubs. He said: "If some big clubs like me, I feel very proud, because it shows that I am at the bottom of the form
Liverpool's work is excellent. If the club's performance is not good, it is impossible for anyone to dig corners. These rumors mean that Liverpool has a good record. At present, Benitez has his own plans for Liverpool's future, and his idea of buying some players is well known. He said, "The board of directors knows that I want to strengthen my strength, so they are looking for new sponsors. It will be better if there are new sponsors."
These rumors spread for a few days. Before the game between the two teams, the coaches of the two teams first came to have a 'puged game', but soon the media's eyes paid attention to the game again. After all, the game is the most important. In the 30th round of the Premier League, Newcastle United played against Liverpool at home, and Chelsea also ushered in. In a difficult battle, they have to go to the Carl Farmhouse Stadium to fight with Fulham, their sworn enemy in the same city. It is much more difficult than Newcastle United.
"Bless them!"
At the pre-match press conference, Sones made a prayer gesture and jokingly said to the media, "I hope they have good luck. The environment of Carl Farmhouse Stadium is very good, and they will have a good life..." This is pure sarcasm.
Where is the good derby in the same city!?
Chelsea players must be suffering now, because they don't know if they can hold on until the end of the game. Although Fulham has not won Chelsea in recent years, the victory or defeat is not the most important thing. Derby is always the spirit, a spirit of competition in the same city. Even if Chelsea wins ten goals, what? What is it like?
In the away game, they can't guarantee that they will not get hurt!
Derby is always tough.
There is only one Newcastle United team in Newcastle. Sones doesn't have to worry about any derby. He is not very worried about playing Liverpool in this game, because Liverpool's next round will be a derby with Everton. He doesn't believe that Liverpool will do its best in this game, so the team wants to win. It's not difficult to win.
When the game started, it was also confirmed on the scene.
Liverpool did not show all their strength in the game. One of them is that striker Crouch did not play, and Cecil was also transferred to the position of full-back. Don't underestimate this transfer. There is still a certain gap between the importance of the wing forward and the striker, midfield and other positions. Of course, this position is also quite important, but in New York. In the game of Castle United, Liverpool must focus on the middle if they want to win. It can be imagined that Cise, who has been strong recently, has been transferred to the sideline.
It's not that Liverpool gave up the game. Benitez just wants to fight for it. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to give up the game. They won't affect the next city derby with Everton for the game against Newcastle United. That's really not worth the loss. After all, Liverpool is no longer in the league this season. It's the opponent of Newcastle United. They don't have to fight hard.
It is worth mentioning that this game is Alan. Shearer played as the starting striker, which was his 398th appearance for Newcastle, once again breaking the club's highest record held by Milburn.
The last match with Manchester United had a great impact on Newcastle United. Although he won, many players in the team had physical problems, such as striker Ameoby, who had to sit on the bench in this game.
Newcastle United and Liverpool have played 135 games in history, with Liverpool 61 wins, 36 draws and 38 losses to the upper hand. However, the achievements in history are not important. The current Newcastle United is obviously the strongest Newcastle United in history, and Liverpool is certainly not the strongest Liverpool in history. They are far from the European aristocracy in the 1980s.
After the opening of the two teams, the enthusiasm of the fans also broke out, and the St. James Park Stadium was full of shouts and cheers.
However, the game scene was not fierce, and the two teams were cautious at the beginning. As the core of the team, Don Jack has always been in the middle. When participating in the attack, he also cooperates with his teammates first. The slow attack does not give Liverpool a chance. If you want to win, you must do a good job in defense. In the case of being invincible, the victory is more stable. What Newcastle United needs now is stability.
However, this way of playing without "taking forward" is not very suitable for Newcastle United. In the first five minutes of the test, the team failed to find any good opportunity. Instead, Liverpool took advantage of a midfield cooperation opportunity to play something quite threatening. Soon Don Jack realized that such a game was not good for the team, and it was not a good thing to be conservative at Newcastle United's home stadium, St. James' Park.
"Attack!"
When Jack Don waved his right hand, all the eleven players in the game understood what he meant!
Newcastle United's attack has begun!
