Chapter 529 Attack and Defense
Newcastle United has always been known for their offense. This season's number of goals is the highest in the Premier League, scoring five more goals than the Blues Chelsea, who are crazy as soon as they win, ranking first among the 20 teams in the Premier League. So can they break through Rome's defense?
"Rome must defend!" That's why many media discuss the Newcastle United attack.
Milan Sport believes that if the Roma team wants to win, they must do chain defense. Even if it is not so strict, at least they should use regional defense and anti-offside to limit Newcastle United's attack. After all, defense is an Italian team, Rome's specialty, and attack belongs to New York. Castle United.
Defensive counterattack!
This is the only way for Rome to win!
For Newcastle United, the game is the time to test the team's offensive power. Many reporters are concerned about whether the Newcastle United led by Don Jack can fight against Roma's defense. The comparison between Don Jack and Totti is the two most important topics before the game.
Many media are concerned about these two topics. The English media and the Italian media have speculated together, which is rare in the UEFA Cup. After all, most people are concerned about the UEFA Champions League at this time, and the UEFA Cup will only be the topic after the UEFA Champions League. However, the highlight of Newcastle United this season, the encounter between the "enemy" English team and the Italian team has created more public opinion.
Obviously, as the core of the two teams and the protagonists of public opinion, Don Jack and Totti are both interviewees.
Even if the club itself does not want to contact the media before the game, at the request of a large number of media, Don Jack must be interviewed out of pressure. The day before the game, the Newcastle United Club held a press conference, and Don Jack attended the press conference and accepted questions from reporters.
Since the first round of the match was at the St. James Park Stadium of Newcastle United, there are many Italian media coming to the scene. The media supporting the Roma team will naturally care about the news of Newcastle United. A reporter from the Rome Times first asked: "Mr. Jack, what do you think of Francisco?"
"Francesco?" Don Jack was stunned. He really didn't know the name.
Sones, the coach next to him, felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "It's Totti."
Don Jack smiled awkwardly. If you want to talk about Totti, you must have heard of it. Sones also emphasized it, but the name Francisco seems too strange. After all, the habit in Europe is not a very friendly relationship. It can't be called by name, but only the last name.
"He should be a strong player. I respect him." Jack Don replied like this.
The English media said that it doesn't matter to this answer, but the Italian media is not satisfied. This answer is ambiguous. What is 'strong'? Without contrast, it was impossible to make a report at all. The reporter immediately asked, "If you and Totti are one-on-one, who do you think will win?"
Jack Tang smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
The reporter was stunned and at a loss. He didn't realize what the dark-haired boy in front of him meant, but his colleague, the Sun reporter replied: "I never believe that anyone can defeat Jack one-on-one on the court!" This kind of face-to-face praise made Don Jack blush a little.
"What about the game? Jack, can you tell me what you think? A Guardian reporter stood up and asked a question.
Don Jack lowered his body and took the microphone and said, "Rome is a strong team. It is a representative traditional strong team in Europe. They have many excellent stars. And we don't have much European experience in recent years, but we are confident to face the game.
"Mr. Sones has done a lot of work for this game, and as a player, all I have to do is work hard to play the game well, but no matter what, I believe the winner will be us!"
A Italian reporter asked, "So how will Newcastle United deal with Roma's defense?"
This is everyone's concern. Many English teams will be very uncomfortable when they meet Italian teams. The English team has a strong ability to fight, but it is always very difficult to play when it comes to a team that is very strong in confrontation and defense like Italy. The confrontation between the English team and the Italian team is a common topic for European fans.
"Secret..."
Soness replied to the questions of the Italian media with such an answer. The team's tactical questions will not be told to reporters before the game, and the Italian media have nothing to say, and they can't let Rome announce the tactical arrangements of the game.
Next, they asked about Jack Don. They thought that this brunette boy never avoided talking, and naturally it was likely to make big news.
"Those are the jobs of coaches!"
Don Jack replied, "As a player, I just need to play hard." This is not like what the core of a team said, but then Don Jack answered the question head-on: "But my defense for Rome will not cause too much obstacles to us."
There was an uproar at the press conference!
Many Italian media stood up excitedly, and they thought Jack Don was an insult to Italian football.
Italy's defense is world-famous, and Italian football is also famous for its defense, but Don Jack said that 'Rome's defense will not hinder Newcastle United'. This is not ** naked contempt, but what is it!?
That night, even the Italian newspaper Milano Sport made a comment: "That guy provoked Italian football!"
In a word, the match between Roma and Newcastle United has become an important match for Italians to defend the honor of Italian football. The game has received more attention. Many Italian fans are waiting to watch Newcastle United and Don Jack's jokes, especially in the Italian media. If Newcastle United loses to Rome and even say that they can't break through the door of Rome, then they will have something to say.Naturally, in the face of the offensive of the Italian media, the English media will not be soft-mouthed.
Headed by the Guardian, The Sun and other media that support Newcastle United, they began to constantly quote the football history of the two countries, quote the current situation, quote the honors of Don Jack, and use various favorable public opinion to discuss the statement that Newcastle United can 'break through the door of Rome'.
"Roman defense is not good..."
"Jack is excellent, he can score goals!"
"Newcastle United will advance to the quarterfinals. Roma's performance is not good, and they will lose..."
......
A series of arguments are entangled, like bombers firing shells, crossing the English Channel, across the central European continent, and flying to Italy on the edge of the Mediterranean.
The counterattack of the Italian media also came quickly---
"Jack. Li is an arrogant maniac..."
"He is so proud that he will set back English football!"
"Italian football has always been stronger than England, and Roma will win!"
......
The war of words drives the enthusiasm of the fans, but this is just a warm-up before the game. It really depends on the situation of the game. This is the place that determines the victory or defeat of the media on both sides. As soon as the result comes out, the losing party naturally has nothing to say. Maybe the club that loses will become the 'sinner' in the mouth of the media.
The pressure of winning or losing is gradually increasing.
