Football should be played like me

Chapter 401 The First Battle of Newcastle
After training for a while, Kyle Reese and Boyle often look in the mirror and ask themselves.

Have they been fooled by Lu Yang?
"Reese! Do you think you are a striker? Stand your position! Defense, where is your defense?"

"Boyle, you lost your seat again! No matter how fast you are, what's the use of failing to choose your seat?"

"Reese, who let you shoot! You are equal to shooting! Didn't you see that Chiesa has a better position? Our shooting rights are not so luxurious that they can be assigned to a full-back! Look at Lu's shooting Is it as many times as you?"

"Boyle, pass the ball! You bring enough, you have to pass the ball at the right time!"

"Oh my god! Your passing is really bad, practice more! You must practice more! I don't require you to watch people pass the ball, but you must improve your passing arc and speed!"

"Remember your mission, you are only full-backs, not wingers! Your first choice is always pass, pass, pass!"

Flick shouted hoarsely from the sidelines.

Reese and Boyle couldn't be more depressed.

Isn't this horse riding a pure full-back?
Where did the sidewalk fulcrums and sidewalk corridors come from?
Seeing that the two full-backs were not in high spirits, Lu Yang went over to chat with Flick.

In fact, Lu Yang did not lie.

The team does have a tactical arrangement with two full-backs as the core of the offense.

But not now.

but in the future.

The team needs a period of running-in.

Now everyone has not fully integrated, and the understanding of the team's skills and tactics is superficial.

At this time, rashly letting the full-back fly up will expose a very big loophole in the defense.

No matter how good Sasso and Dejas are, it is impossible for two people to complete the defensive task of four people.

If you want the full-back to take off, you need the perfect cooperation between the two central defenders and Tavares, the midfielder.

The current Newcastle obviously cannot meet this requirement.

But you can't talk about the future with young people.

They've heard too much, they just want the present.

Deny them the thrill of taking off and they'll soon be questioning the full-back position.

Although the head coach can suppress them, the team atmosphere will also be affected.

Therefore, in the next training match, Newcastle's tactics changed.

Bridge began to give Boyle a lot of through balls. Boyle went down crazily, wasting a lot of opportunities with horrible crosses and cross passes.

After Boyle was taken care of, Bridge began to frequently transfer football to Rees.

Reese stands alone on the right side, has a lot of space to receive the ball, and handles the environment well after receiving the ball.

When he knows that he has a lot of opportunities to shoot near the right side of the penalty area, he is more willing to pass the ball.

Only players who are afraid that they will not have the next chance to shoot will grab the right to shoot at any time.

After this training match, the other players of the main team played quite awkwardly.

But the two full-back teenagers are cool.

This also gave Flick a handle.

Flick asked the two full-backs for additional training due to poor passing, and began to focus on upgrading their crossing ability and crossing selection.

With the help of Rolla's big data system, the two of them have made obvious progress.

Reese's arcing crosses are better.

Boyle's ground crosses are stronger.

Both of them are in-depth optimization in what they are better at.

During this time, big data analysis and reports on other players also came out.

Everyone took the report and compared it with targeted reinforcement or top-notch.

For a time, the entire Newcastle training base was brightly lit.

There are players who practice extra late every day.

In many cases, before dawn, players will come to train.

Professional training with team guidance is truly addictive.

Newcastle is behind closed doors.

Because of the general environment, at this time most teams have started to play friendly matches to determine the true state of the team.

It also means that Newcastle was too hasty and rejected the invitations of many teams to avoid being beaten by others before the results of the training office.

They even refused the invitation of the Chinese Super League team.

News related to friendly matches appeared frequently.

"Dominguez seamlessly integrated into the Blues!Kicked Rennes in a friendly match and scored a hat-trick! "

"Tesli went to the left to make way for Lahm.Tesley claimed to be willing to give everything for Chelsea and hoped that he could become the next Praxades! "

"Ram's ability to play the ball makes Chelsea's counterattack more threatening, and becomes another counterattack starting point besides Red Clapp! "

"Ram: San Remo has high requirements on the ability of the central defender and midfielder to play the ball. I improved my ball ability there! "

"Liverpool beat LA Galaxy with five goals!With one pass and one assist, Najib deserves to be the historical champion of central defenders! "

"Robery trained three people to stage a wonderful goal! "

"Versach scored consecutive goals in the world wave, 500 million is not a loss! "

"Carlisle's full firepower, five goals in three games, still at the peak! "

"Kerber has just returned to the team, still adapting, and his state is a little weak"

"Perotta and Aveiro had a chemical reaction, the two scored five goals in two games, the Wolf King deserved its reputation! "

"Apare became the gatekeeper of Manchester United's defense, and Dalihet made an emergency in front of the goal to keep the goal! "

In contrast, there was no movement on Newcastle's side, which had to worry the fans.

But Newcastle has no shortage of traffic.

All they lack are things.

Starting on August 23, the media has been warming up for Newcastle's first game of the new season.

"UEFA Cup play-offs!"Newcastle's first game of the new season! "

"What is the UEFA Cup?The first session of this year is of special significance! "

"Newcastle is not doing business properly, participating in third-rate events! "

"Newcastle's opponent at the bottom, Tallinn Chunshen!This is a small team from Estonia, one Lu Yang can buy Tallinn Chunshen dozens of times! "

"After watching Tallinn Chunshen's game, I am worried about whether Newcastle can win! "

"If even Tallinn Chunshen can't win, Newcastle doesn't have to mess around in the Premier League. "

"Last season, Lu Yang led Real Madrid to create the only unbeaten record in the history of the third line in a single season in Europe.Will he lead Newcastle to complete the Premier League season winless record this season? "

It can be seen that people are not interested in the game between Newcastle and Tallinn Chunshen.

But it does not prevent everyone from mocking Newcastle through this incident.

Newcastle didn't even dare to play the warm-up match, isn't it because they are afraid that people will know that their level is too low?

"Sky Sports" even relied on its influence in the Premier League to dig up some wild material.

"Sky Sports": "Even if Lu Yang speaks, Newcastle players are still in short supply. In order to fill the full-back, they let the backup winger be the fire-fighting full-back!"

"Newcastle's right-back Reese may be remembered by many people. This player who played as a striker since he was a child and once joined the England U17 player changed to a right-back under Flick's persuasion!"

"It's a mistake! The Canadian Boyle is also in the same situation. He went to the left back!"

"Home Alone? American teenager Bridge has become the core of Newcastle's frontcourt attack. This is really ridiculous! Can you buy a Premier League-level offensive core for 400 million? Don't even think about it! This is not unexpected!"

"Sauber playing the attacking midfielder? No... Sauber has never had the talent to play the attacking midfielder! Liverpool, Manchester United, Stoke City and other teams have tried all possibilities, and the answer is NO!"

Sky Sports pushed the heat of Newcastle to the peak.

Until the start of the UEFA Cup play-offs.

……

"Hi everyone, I'm your good friend Luo Cheng. Welcome to watch this UEFA Cup play-off!" Luo Cheng talked eloquently in front of the TV. The rights to broadcast all matches of the Association Cup."

"So this year's game about Newcastle, we can watch every game without losing!"

"Of course, the premise is that Newcastle win this play-off."

"I know some people are worried about the current state of Newcastle. Although Tallinn Chunshen is a small team, they are mature after all, and Newcastle has just undergone a reorganization this summer. There is no change between players, players and tactics. Thoroughly familiar."

"So the result of this game is hard to say!"

"In addition, I would like to introduce my partner to you. In the future, he and I will bring you the commentary of the UEFA Cup...Miao Jikun!"

Miao Jikun is also a familiar commentator. He has commented on Lu Yang's games before.

He has gradually become an Internet celebrity commentator because he has multiple accounts with more than 20 fans on the "Pilipala Video Website".

The contents of his "Northern Hemisphere Sao Ke" and "Master Ji Kun Miao" accounts have been well received by many fans.

Luo Cheng: "Next, please ask Miao Jikun to introduce us to the lineup of Tallinn Chunshen."

Miao Jikun: "..."

I introduce Nima!

I didn't even know there was Estonia before this game!
Luo Cheng: "Okay, it seems that Teacher Miao is still a little excited. It's understandable. I said that it was the same when I was in a high-profile competition. Young people, it's understandable that the preparations are not enough, so I will go first Bring you Newcastle's lineup interpretation."

Miao Jikun is so angry!
Who in Newcastle can't tell?
Lao Tzu knows everything by heart!

"Today Newcastle formed a 4231 formation."

"Manjujovic single center forward."

"Bridge, Sauber, and Chiesa are the left midfielder, midfielder, and right midfielder."

"Of course, it was previously revealed that Sauber played as a shadow forward, with a higher position. As for whether Sauber played as a midfielder or a shadow forward, we can see it in the real game."

"Double midfielders Lu Yang and Tavares."

"But fans who are familiar with Lu Yang should know that his position is not limited to the defensive midfielder. Don't be surprised if he appears in the frontcourt or even in the penalty area."

"On the back line, Newcastle sent Canadian sprinter Boyle, the worst central defender in the history of the Portuguese national team, Dejas, the only short central defender in the Brazilian national team, Sasso, and the right side of the Newcastle youth training team. Forward Kyle Reese."

The four players on the back line seemed to sense it.

Listen to me, thank you!
You introduced it so well!

"The goalkeeper is Amerucci, the best goalkeeper in the World Cup. In the world that just ended..."

As the commentary began, the game slowly kicked off.

Players from both sides began to compete with each other on the court.

In the first 5 minutes, the morale of Tallinn Chunshen's players was very high.

This is their rare opportunity to land in Europe.

And the opponent is "Golden Yuan Magpie".

If you are worth less than [-] million, defeat Newcastle, whose lineup is worth more than [-] million euros.

It's hard for the players of Tallinn Chunshen not to be popular.

With the blessing of this force, Tallinn Chunshen played against Newcastle in the first 10 minutes.

In the 10th minute, taking advantage of a dead ball, Lu Yang communicated with his teammates.

"Pressure! Up the pressure! Run!"

Lu Yang gave the signal to attack.

The first 10 minutes were the time for Lu Yang and Flick to adapt to the young players of the team.

Familiar with football.

Also familiar with the stadium environment.

After 10 minutes, they will start to run tactics.

And Newcastle's tactics are...

Two defenses.

The so-called two stages, the first stage is a high position press.

Once Newcastle loses the ball, the frontcourt players must fight back on the spot.

The midfielder needs to judge. If the opponent is not in a hurry to counterattack, the midfielder participates in the frontcourt pressing.

If the opponent immediately counterattacks, then it is the second defense - the whole army returns to defense.

Except that Manjujovic can be a little slower, all the players in the frontcourt must come back to participate in the defense.

But this return to defense is not simply a return to defense.

When the opponent is approaching the third area of ​​attack, the backcourt players must change their rhythm, take the initiative to attack, delay the opponent's attack, and keep the danger outside the penalty area.

The advantage of doing this is that it can make the backcourt players take a few steps less and form a flanking trend, and it makes full use of the physical strength of the backcourt players and saves the physical strength of the midfielders.

A return to defense will save a few runs, and there will be a lot of games.

Moreover, a sudden attack in the backcourt makes it easier to disrupt the opponent's offensive plan and complete the steal.

From offense to defense, Newcastle is a team that likes to take the initiative in their own hands.

This is not the style of play of weak teams.

No. In 13 minutes, Newcastle's press had an effect.

Boyle, Lu Yang, and Bridge were double-teamed. The opponent made a wrong pass and was intercepted by Lu Yang.

After taking a step with the ball, Lu Yang hadn't fully raised his head, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his frontcourt teammates' running positions.

boom!
A long pass.

Tallinn Chunshen's defensive players were stunned.

Why don't you see it clearly before reposting?
How can there be such a person who only lifts his head halfway and then shoots his feet?

Is it a foul?

In the frontcourt, Manjujovic just retreated and pulled away the defensive player.

Chiesa cuts inside without the ball and succeeds in anti-offside.

In other words, it wasn't that he intended to be offside, but that Lu Yang's pass was so comfortable!Just kicked out before Chiesa started, like knowing Chiesa's next move.

"Beautiful long pass! It's almost laser-guided!"

"Chiesa successfully stopped the ball while running! Good job! His little technique is quite good, the ball stopped very cleverly, it did not affect his progress, and he maintained control of the football."

"Tallinn Chunshen's goalkeeper strikes, but it's too late."

"Chiesa volleys from the close corner! The goalkeeper Tallinn Chunshen didn't even have time to get off the ground, and the football flew past his feet."

"If it is a top goalkeeper, there is a high probability that this shot can be blocked!"

"One to zero! Chiesa took the lead for Newcastle! He scored his first goal after joining Newcastle!"

"To be precise, it should be the first goal of Newcastle's starting players after joining Newcastle."

"Because in Newcastle's starting lineup, none of the players have played for Newcastle's first team. Newcastle's youth training Rees has never participated in the club's first team."

"Of course, in this goal, Lu Yang's pass is also beautiful! Although there are no fancy moves, the accuracy is outstanding. And the cross given by half the rhythm is the most exquisite of this ball The place."

"This is a master pass, cleansing the lead and returning to the basics!"

"With this pass, what do you want Moric to do?"

The commentary responded to many Newcastle fans calling for the team to sign Moric.

Onlookers watching this game are not only fans of Newcastle and Tallinn Chunshen.

There are also many neutral fans.

Everyone came here just to watch Lu Yang play football.

After all, this is Lu!

This is a player who can score more than 80 goals in a single season.

Many strikers can't score so many goals in their careers.

But now, this player is playing in midfield.

Everyone seems to have overlooked an important piece of information, that is, in the same career length as Lu Yang and Morici, the assists have already broken through the 150 mark!
Although not as good as Moric's [-] assists, the assist efficiency is still scary.After two or three years of playing, Lu Yang's assists may also reach the top [-] or even the top [-] in the assist list of active players!
No. In the 19th minute, Lu Yangzhen's ability to pass the ball to Huajing was once again reflected.

With a straight kick, he directly gave Manzhujovic a single-handed ball.

Manzhujovic entered the penalty area. As a Zhengyin center, how could such an opportunity be wasted?
Facing the attacking Tallinn Chunshen, Manzhujovic took it lightly and shot it with one kick.

The football fell over the goalkeeper who was on the ground and fell into the goal.

"Two to zero! Easy and freehand!"

"I can already draw a conclusion that Newcastle's level is much higher than that of Tallinn Chunshen!"

"Tallinn Chunshen's player positions are full of loopholes in Lu Yang's view."

"And Manzhujovic's shooting choice in the face of Tallinn Chunshen also reflects his mentality and state."

"Except for the first 5 minutes, Tallinn Chunshen did not bring any pressure to Newcastle at all."

After Newcastle celebrated briefly, the game restarted.

Tallinn Chunshen launched a wave of powerful offenses, trying to reverse the offensive and defensive positions.

But their left-winger suffered in front of Newcastle right-back Reece.

Reese's strong body and excellent mobility made the opponent seem to hit a moving wall.

The opposing striker fell to the ground in despair.

The referee did not blow his whistle.

Reese's steal is legal and compliant.

Reese plays the ball to Tavares.

Tavares passes to Bridge who drops back to catch the ball.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to plug in.

Facing the pressure, Bridge threw the ball to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang dribbled the ball on the left rib, and there was nothing in front of him.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Tallinn Chunshen's lack of defensive players immediately rushed towards Lu Yang.

Prevent Lu Yang from shooting from a long distance.

This is the king of long shots!
Heavy artillery Lu, who knows who in world football?

boom!
While Lu Yang was running, he suddenly made a 45-degree pass, without any warning before the pass.

Manjujovic leaps high inside the penalty area and heads the ball...

The football went over his head.

Not for him!
It's later!
Inside the right side of the penalty area, Newcastle shadow striker Sauber was unguarded and waited for a long time.

boom!
In order to be on the safe side, Sauber adjusted slightly after stopping the ball and shot hard.

Football is like a bomb, exploding in the goal of Tallinn Chunshen.

"Three to zero! Too fast! All this happened too fast!"

"Three goals in 9 minutes! Newcastle has found the feeling of attacking!"

"I'm sure the Newcastle fans will go nuts, how easy these goals came from!"

"From the beginning of the game to the present, Lu Yang completed his first hat-trick in Newcastle in just 22 minutes! And it was an assist hat-trick!"

"You know, for Lu Yang, assisting a hat-trick is undoubtedly much more difficult than a hat-trick!"

"This is the suppression of the opponent by the core players! There is no one on Tallinn Chunshen's side who can limit Lu Yang's passing."

"Lu Yang's body is too strong, and his skills are good. As long as he wants to pass the ball, Tallinn Chunshen can't do anything!"

Three goals in a row.

Newcastle played out.

The performance of the players also started to get better.

At least a little bolder.

Flick gestured to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang nodded.

Flick was saying: Brother Lu, the opponent's defense is too flawed, don't go straight, let the team run the conventional tactics and look for the state of training?
Lu Yang: Okay, then I will rest for a while.

Soon, some fans discovered the anomaly.

"Why don't you pass the ball to Lu Yang?"

"Why doesn't Lu Yang hold the ball? Give Bridge the ball."

"What's the situation in Newcastle? Why does it feel like it's not as sharp as before?"

"The core has been changed!" A fan who understands football explained, "Before Newcastle's core on the field was Lu Yang, and most of the ball had to be given to him as soon as possible for him to distribute."

"Now that the core of the field has become Bridge, Lu Yang intentionally feeds Bridge. He focuses more on defense. He probably wants to see Bridge's performance."

Everyone's guess is correct.

In the following time, Bridge held the ball for a long time, showing his strong ball control and breakthrough ability.

But I have to say that Bridge still has a long way to go, because his ability to grasp passing opportunities in possession is not enough.

The main reason is that his vision is not so good, and he only supports a small range of passes.

Manzhujovic also saw this, and began to respond to Bridge frequently.

At this time, the role of a top fulcrum forward is reflected.

Like Bridge, Manzhujovic has become the core of the frontcourt offense and has sent wonderful passes many times.

But either Bridge's advance was not firm enough, and the pass was destroyed by the opponent.

Either Chiesa's shot went wide.

Either Sauber, Chiesa, and Manjujovic did not cooperate smoothly enough in front of the goal and made mistakes.

It's always a generation away from scoring goals.

But in terms of the situation, Newcastle has the upper hand.

Tallinn Chunshen sees no hope of a comeback at all.

In stoppage time in the first half, Bridge finally had a brilliant performance.

He found the opponent's defensive loopholes by turning the ball in circles, broke through the double-team, and reached the penalty area.

After attracting the opposing central defender, the ball was given to Manzhujovic.

Manzhujovic almost pushed the empty goal and scored a nanny-level goal.

Four to zero!
Newcastle continued to expand the score.

Qualification for the UEFA Cup is at your fingertips!

During the intermission, Flick began to summarize the team's performance in the first half with Lu Yang.

Judging from the score, the situation is very optimistic.

But combined with Lola's data, that's not the case.

"When the team encounters defensive pressure, there are too many mistakes in frontcourt cooperation, and more training is needed to find a tacit understanding."

"Bridge's breakthrough is very threatening, but this is only against Tallinn Chunshen's defense. If he is facing a Premier League-level defense, it is difficult for him to perform like this. Either speed up the dribbling rhythm, or strengthen the core, I think The former is recommended."

"Chiesa's offensive method is too single. Cut inside and hit the goal. He needs more changes, and he has the ability to do it, but he must be willing to use his brains for this matter. Otherwise, his ceiling will be at most Just a first-class winger."

"Sauber's shooting skills are absolutely top-notch! So it is difficult for me to understand why his shooting confidence is so low... Through the data, we can find that Sauber has too many trivial adjustments before shooting."

"Including the shot he scored, he also made unnecessary adjustments. When facing a higher level of defense, he will miss a lot of opportunities to kick the goal because of this."

In an actual combat, many problems that cannot be found in training can be found.

Especially for Sauber, it is a psychological problem.

After that, Newcastle had to find a way to solve it.

"In the second half, our central defenders and defensive midfielders must cheer up." Flick made a tactical adjustment arrangement, "We will change our formation in the second half!"

Kyle Reese was instantly excited.

Finally let him take off!

Same goes for Boyle.

So in the second half, everyone saw a crazy scene.

"Oh! This is really bullying! Newcastle's full-back Boyle actually ran to the baseline twice in a row!"

"Bridge made a pass back, Lu Yang made a wide-ranging transfer, and Kyle Reese on the right ran across the half court. There was nothing around him, and he successfully received the ball. Is this going to go down?"

"Chiesa covered Reese, Reese cut inside, and completed a powerful shot from outside the penalty area! It was only half a meter away from the goal! What a pity!"

"It's Boyle again! Bridge goes through, Boyle is unstoppable, how can he appear on the left winger position."

"Foul! The opponent's No. [-] player has no choice but to foul directly. He received a yellow card!"

"Boyle went up again and made a cross pass outside the penalty area. Unfortunately, he was cleared by Tallinn Chunshen's central defender."

"Penalty kick! Reese's long-range shot was blocked by Tallinn Chunshen's central defender. But Chiesa and Manzhujovic signaled the opponent for a handball!"

"The referee awarded a penalty kick! It was indeed a handball! Kyle Reese made a contribution!"

On the TV, the players of Tallinn Chunshen looked like they had eaten shit.

So brutal.

The promised Newcastle is better than the Championship team?

Is this the strength of the League One team?

From the original score, right?

Although we are rubbish, after all, we are 20-year-old fans, and we still have vision.

Although this Newcastle team is immature, it is absolutely impossible for you to say that they are not worthy of the Premier League.

Maybe they can really succeed in relegation!
