Football should be played like me

Chapter 414 Opening a new front, fighting on the third front

Newcastle's training base, Dursley Park.

Newcastle is in full swing for newcomer run-in training.

The three newcomers have integrated at different speeds.

Mathias fits in seamlessly.

Because Newcastle's tactical concept is similar to that of San Remo in the past, emphasizing what to do in what area, rather than emphasizing the affairs corresponding to the player's position.

In addition, the relationship between Matthias and Lu Yang also gave him the status of elder in Newcastle.

What's more, he is older and has marked his status as a substitute, so he will not have a conflict of interest with other players in the team.

Vincent Gombani's integration is not bad. He trains hard, is low-key, and has a very low profile.

The only problem is Lucatu.

But it is not a question of attitude, but a question of thought.

He was always eager to play as a winger.

"No, no, stop! Lukato, come here, and the rest will continue training." Flick stopped the training match and called Lukato off the field, "Do you know where you are?"

Lukatu is not stupid, he knows where he is wrong: "I am a center forward, but the team's tactics don't advocate us to make more runs?"

Flick shook his head: "We advocate scientific and planned running, not running around like a headless chicken."

"You see players running freely, with a route. There is no absolute freedom in this world, at least not on the pitch."

"As for you, you not only need to be familiar with your running route, but also remember your own accusations. You are a center forward, and our frontcourt needs a fulcrum, a player who can compete for high-altitude passes and can hold the opponent's defense Impact, the fulcrum that can stabilize football in the frontcourt!"

"You can take the ball, but at the right moment. Not after every touch!"

Lukatu likes dribbling too much.

When he pulled to the sidewalk, his dribbles once made people's eyes shine.

Who would have thought that a tall man of 1.9 meters, even if his speed is not slow, would be so sharp with his feet.

But when he dribbled like this in the middle and in the penalty area, Flick almost didn't get a cerebral hemorrhage.

Your teammates have worked so hard to pass the football to you, but you are riding a bicycle in the penalty area?

Can't shoot?
Lucatu's squandering of opportunities made the striker partners Sauber, Chiesa, and Bridge a little dissatisfied.

You know, in this team, besides Lu Yang, only Bridge has the right to dribble to this level.

Chiesa is not qualified to dribble like Lukato.

No, it's not allowed.

Flick put an end to meaningless dribbling breakthroughs, and emphasized the use of speed to directly penetrate the opponent.

Because of the top dribbling genius, there is only one in ten years.

With so many teams in European football, they have been trained at all costs, and it took a few years for a high-efficiency and high-threatening dribbler to emerge.

But speed dogs are everywhere.

Using speed to attack can greatly shorten the time required for the lineup to mature.

So Liverpool only need one Salah and Chelsea only need one Hazard.

This problem was reported to Lu Yang by Flick after the training.

And Lu Yang immediately asked Luo La to prepare a set of equipment.

The next day, as soon as Lukatu arrived, he was told by the coaching staff to change his personal equipment.

The equipment is a set of shin guards with built-in chips. It is a series of football equipment products that Lu Yang and Luo La's research institute is developing.

Not available yet, in the debugging stage.

However, once the utility is stable and the manufacturing cost is reduced, it will be put on the shelves.

The price will not be cheap at that time, but there must be no shortage of buyers.

Because this set of shin guards can not only record the running mileage of a single game and the total running mileage, but also can divide the running mileage in detail.

Walks, jogs, quick runs, jumps, bumps, dribble miles, and more.

Among them, Lukatu's rapid dribbling mileage was severely restricted by Flick.

In a single training match, Lucatu's rapid dribbling mileage cannot exceed 50 meters.

This was simply fatal to Lukatu.

In fact, this distance is not short, and the average distance that many wingers advance with the ball in a single game this season is also at this level.

Of course, there are players who like to dribble, and the average advancing distance in a single game during the season can reach 150 meters or even 200 meters.

But most of them were wingers, and they all dribbled from midfield.

As a center forward, Lukatu has a dribbling distance of 50 meters, which is enough for him to squander.

However, after the day's training was over, Lukatu was punished for core strength training and an extra hour of training.

Because his dribbling distance is as high as 98 meters, seriously exceeding the standard.

And the next day, he had to undergo "courage" training and was bombarded by his teammates with shots.

This is the worst training recognized by the Newcastle team. Many players would rather practice two hours of core strength than endure the 10 minutes of football bombing.

Since then, in the next training match of Lukatu, he did not exceed the standard, and was stuck at more than 40 meters.

But when Flick announced that he would play a team friendly match without restricting Lukato, Lukato dribbled more than 190 meters frantically!
You know, this is all fast dribbling.

It is a breakthrough action performed when facing the opponent's defender in a dangerous area.

190 meters means that there are more than 20 opportunities to go back and forth.

Lucatu has simply become an offensive black hole.

After the friendly match in the team, Lucatu was punished by Flick again.

And from now on, his core strength training will become a regular item.

Lucatu was dumbfounded.

Did you say no limit?

As a head coach, do you still have credibility?

In this regard, Flick spread his hands and said, who made you squander Lu's through passes three times in a row.

You don't have to eat the cakes made for you by others, but you have to eat the cakes made by Lu even if there is shi in them while they are still hot!
January [-]th.

The three new players who entered the team quickly all got the chance to play.

The third round of the FA Cup begins.

This is Newcastle's third tournament this season.

Why is it said that the Premier League giants and ordinary teams will widen the gap in the second half of the season?

Because the second half of the season begins, in addition to the players' own physical fitness will enter a period of exhaustion, the increase in the number of games cannot be ignored.

In this game, Newcastle's opponent is the British Championship team Blackburn.

Blackburn is also a football club with a glorious history. At their peak, they won the Premier League championship and runner-up for two consecutive years.

He has reached the FA Cup final eight times and won the FA Cup six times.

But they are now sinking in the British Championship, and there is a tendency to relegation.

Such a team is not difficult to play.

The lineups sent by Newcastle are respectively.

Lucatu

Chiesa, Lu Yang, Beckham

Feinho, Tavares

Boyle, Dejas, Gombani, Mathias

Amerucci
Manjujovic is injured.

Sauber has been on full attendance before, but he needs to use it carefully because he is a glass man. If there is a chance to rotate, it is best to rotate.

Sasso's ability is outstanding, just before and after his peak period, but Gongbani also needs an official game to determine his status.

Reese's style of play is relatively violent, and he has some hidden injuries, so he just took this opportunity to take a break.

In fact, Newcastle most hope that Lucatu will learn Reese's way of playing.

Brutal, violent, strong impact, actively seeking confrontation, not afraid of high-speed confrontation, aggressive.

But Lukatu is not too cold about this way of playing so far.

He seems to like flowing football.

But he never verbally acknowledged it.

A whistle blows, and the game officially begins.

Newcastle kicks off.

After two simple kicks, Tavares suddenly made a long pass!
He has a good kick.

Under Lu Yang's deliberate request, the team's ability to play in the midfield seems to be stronger than their ability to play in the frontcourt...

In the frontcourt, Lu Yang galloped all the way, started in fifth gear, and easily passed Lukatu.

Lucatu was depressed at the time.

Who is the center?
Brother Lu, you played as a midfielder today, not as a center forward. I should run ahead.

Before he had time to say anything, Lu Yang jumped up high, headed back and pointed the football to Lukatu.

"This way!"

Chiesa cut in without the ball on the left and called for a pass from Lukato.

Lukatu was running forward. Although Lu Yang's back pass was comfortable, Lukatu couldn't handle the ball with his feet.

boom!
Lukatu headed the relay and gave it to the front right.

Chiesa stopped the ball perfectly, without losing speed, and reached the penalty area.

Blackburn obviously did not expect Newcastle to be so aggressive.

Doesn't this team start with two full-backs?

Why did it enter the restricted area?
Chiesa pedals a bicycle in the restricted area.

Blackburn's defensive players did not dare to step down easily.

boom!
Chiesa, who didn't give up his chance, didn't force it.

Because he has seen his teammates from the corner of his eye.

boom!
Chiesa scored the ball back with the outside instep of his right foot and made an inverted triangle pass.

Lu Yang, who had just reached the top of the penalty area, kicked suddenly.

boom!
Batty goal!

The football hangs straight at ten corners.

The Blackburn goalkeeper made no saves.

"GOAL! Goal! Newcastle made a successful attack and completed the kick-off kill!"

"32 seconds, this is a lightning goal!"

"Lu Yang's long shot gave Newcastle the lead! It's a good start for Newcastle's FA Cup trip in the second phase!"

"It's so fierce, Blackburn probably hasn't recovered yet."

Inside the stadium, Lu Yang called Chiesa, Lucatu and others to celebrate together, and said, "Good pass."

Lukato was confused.

pass?
Can a header be called a pass?
This is a failed conduction.

You can see that Chiesa has shown a wave of cycling, and my header relay from Lukatu is simply inferior in comparison.

Chiesa is only two years older than me, so I must work hard.

Lukatu secretly made a second-year resolution that no one could understand.

It is always difficult for you to get the points of the wisps of youth.

If you want to let people who understand the ball look at it, you will feel that Lukatu's header relay is an almost overflowing offensive talent, a flash of genius.

However, Chiesa's bicycle and pass are routine operations.

It's just that the latter is closer to the timeline when Lu Yang's goal happened.

But Lucatu just thinks that his handling is not as good as Chiesa.

I'm fascinated.

After Newcastle grabbed the start, they withdrew a wave according to the rules to prevent Blackburn from scoring goals while taking advantage of the chicken blood.

In the 9th minute, Blackburn's chicken blood subsided by more than half.

Matias singled out the opponent's winger, successfully intercepted the opponent, and sent the ball to Dejas.

Dejas passes to Feinio.

Feinho crosses to Tavares.

After receiving the ball, Tavares made a long pass and found Beckenham on the right front.

Still don't go full-back, but directly instigate the attack from the midfielder.

When Lu Yang was around, Tavares was a pure defensive player.

When Lu Yang is not in the backcourt, Tavares's balls are also useful.

The main reason is that Brother Lu was there, and it was not Tavares' turn to pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Beckenham dribbled the ball for three steps and completed the cross before the opponent forced him.

The accuracy of this pass can be called a master, and it is definitely beyond the footwork and handling that players of this age group should have.

It will not be sent out if it is a second late.

If the arc is missing a little bit, it will be blocked.

If it is too early, the teammates will not be in position.

But when did Lucatu enjoy such a high-quality cross?
He has already subconsciously slowed down.

He thinks it is definitely not possible to pass it on, because Beckenham has brought too much.

As a result, the football appeared in front of his eyes at the next moment, but he stretched his tortoise head desperately, but he couldn't touch the football.

Pass by!

Lukatu looked to the left, quite unwilling.

But he saw the same black and white jersey figure in his eyes.

Chiesa swung his foot back and faced an almost empty half of the goal and scored decisively.

Although Lukatu did not hit the football, he shook the central defender behind him so that the opponent did not touch the football.

It was a coincidence that Chiesa missed this kick.

But it is also a requirement for Newcastle's tactical movement.

The reason why Beckenham had to wait was not only for Lucatu to be in place, but also for Chiesa to come.

There are at least two players who can create a threat with one kick. This is Lu Yang's pass goal for Beckenham.

For high-level players, there should be high-level requirements.

Like Boyle and Reece, Lu Yang's requirement is to pass as soon as he can.

Don't worry about whether there are any of your own players in the penalty area to grab points. This is not what players with your footwork should consider.

"GOAL! Chiesa volleys the empty goal! The shot is very stable!"

"Beckenham's crosses are so sharp, it is said that Manchester United want to take him this winter break and double his wages."

"But Beckenham seems to prefer to stay in Newcastle, because he only has the chance to play here."

"And Newcastle's salary is not bad. Beckenham's salary has risen since he entered the first team. If he plays well, there may be an increase after the end of the season, which will not be less than Manchester United's price."

After the goal, Lu Yang stretched out his hand to signal to his teammates.

It means... press it up!

with full force!

Newcastle wants to show momentum.

It is necessary to press Blackburn to play a crushing game.

Although there is a risk of conceding the ball, the two-to-zero score has given Newcastle confidence.

Newcastle is a team that wins and loses a lot, even when they win, they concede a lot of goals.

Defense is not the magic weapon for them to win, offense is.

In the 13th minute, Newcastle's oppression took effect.

Blackburn's backcourt players made a pass error under pressure, and Boyle, who was rushed up, controlled the football.

Boyle pushed forward with the ball, hit the wall with Chiesa, and made a successful bottom.

boom!
Boyle crosses.

Lukatu jumped high in the penalty area.

But his position is a bit too much.

The quality gap between Boyle and Beckenham's passes is a bit big.

boom!
In order to hit the football, Lukatu retracted his neck as much as possible, and his waist began to bend backwards.

In the end, the football slammed into his face and flew towards the goal.

If it hit his forehead, the football would definitely fly high.

From this point, it can also be seen that Lukatu is sensitive to football in the penalty area.

He can always appear on the trajectory of football, no matter in what weird way.

boom!
Blackburn's goalkeeper did not hang up for the third time and managed to save the football from the bottom line.

This is related to the lack of power and slow speed of this header.

No, it should be said this faceball.

Beckenham walks to the corner flag, ready to take a corner kick.

boom!
Beckenham kicked out and Becker's arc appeared.

The highest peak in the Newcastle team, the 1.9-meter-three Gombani jumped high like a black mountain.

boom!
Gombani headed the goal.

Compared with Lukatu's face ball, this is the real header.

Speed, strength, angle, all have nothing to choose.

"GOAL! Newcastle is crazy!"

"Three to zero! Only 4 minutes have passed since the game. Newcastle scored three goals in a row!"

"Blackburn is really unlucky. They met the Phoenix, a Premier League team ranked in the European theater, instead of the Magpies, who were double-killed by Blackburn last season!"

"Gombani! He scored a goal in his first game at Newcastle. There is nothing more gratifying than a debut like this."

"Judging from the current performance, this deal is definitely worth it."

"In addition, Lukatu, another player who joined Newcastle, is also very active in this game. I don't know if he can score goals? He is currently the youngest player in the Newcastle team, only 16 years old. Of course, If you say that he is 26 years old, I will believe it."

No. In the 19th minute, Lu Yang made a straight kick and Lukatu got the ball at the front of the penalty area.

He swayed the opponent with two unnecessary bicycles in a row, but he also swayed his center of gravity, shot the goal, and hit the anti-aircraft gun.

Almost knocked down a flight over Newcastle.

Flick on the sidelines hugged his head, unable to understand Lucatu's choice at all.

Isn't it good to shoot directly?
Lu delivered all the cakes to your mouth.

You insist on processing it yourself, what is the result?
If Sauber saw this scene, he would be crazy.

Sauber runs the whole field in a game, often just for one or two such opportunities.

No. In the 207th minute, Boyle made a pass back to Chiesa, and Chiesa crossed it to Lucatu.

Lu Yang on the right has already stepped forward.

There is Feinio in the rear.

Lucatu can even hit the door.

But he actually moved laterally with the ball, trying to play a trick out of it.

Lu Yang's running position just pulled the person beside him.

Under the double-team, Lukatu easily lost the ball.

The scene was appalling.

Blackburn launched a very threatening counterattack immediately after the steal.

They penetrated behind Fenio and went to the right to kill the penalty area.

Fortunately, Gongbani did not lose his position and blocked the opponent's shot with his body.

Blackburn wins a corner.

However, Gombani then flew the corner kick to make a clearance.

In terms of aerial control, Gombani has a great advantage. He is a player who knows how to use his physical advantages.

It's completely different from a certain Tie Hanhan in the frontcourt.

Maybe this is also related to Lukatu's experience.

No. 305 minutes, Chiesa cut in with the ball on the left, passed the opponent, and went straight into the penalty area.

After Lukatu received the ball, he knocked the ball with his heel and changed direction, but was seen through by the opponent, and he stabbed the football directly, and missed another excellent opportunity.

At this point, Lu Yang finally confirmed his conjecture.

Lukatu, who is tall and big, is... afraid of confrontation!

At least, he resisted.

Interesting.

No. In the 401st minute, Newcastle's formation, which had been unable to attack for a long time, gradually moved forward, revealing a fatal flaw.

Blackburn fought back successfully and rewritten the score to one to three.

During the intermission, Flick came to ask Lu Yang if he needed to replace Lucatu.

His performance on the court was pretty bad.

But this is also normal. It is impossible for all the players you introduced to Newcastle to play well.

There must be parallel imports.

But Lu Yang thought it would be better for Lukatu to continue playing.

If there is no accident in this game, Newcastle will win.

Then take advantage of this game to expose Lukatu's shortcomings as much as possible, which is better than using the Premier League to check Lukatu.

The latter is too costly.

Regardless of the use of Lucatus, Lu Yang proposed a new plan.

So in the second half, when everyone was surprised that Lukato had not been replaced, Lukato stood in the position of the left midfielder and switched positions with Chiesa.

Chiesa is not a center forward, but he appears here, and he does not need him to function as a center forward.

He kicks as he should.

In 3 minutes, Lucatu made people's eyes shine.

He performed poorly in front of and behind the penalty area, but he flourished on the wing, and his small bicycle flew up.

Dribbling on the wing is different than dribbling in front of or behind the box.

In the former case, the defensive players will most likely allow you to perform.

The offensive side has the initiative, as long as you don't cut inside, they can let you dribble for a lifetime.And when to cut in, you have the final say, so offensive players are fully prepared for defense.

But when receiving the ball in the middle of the penalty area, the defensive players have no choice but to come up and defend aggressively, otherwise it will be too dangerous.

The defensive style of the Premier League is already fierce. It is too difficult for Lukato to dribble in the middle, and he has no chance to fully utilize his dribbling ability.

boom!
With one push and one buckle, Lukato actually relied on his explosive power to press the defensive player behind him and pass the ball across the ground with one kick.

Passed...

The football was confiscated by the Blackburn goalkeeper.

Regardless of the quality of this pass, Lukatu scored 95 points in a series of previous operations.

The fans were dumbfounded.

The co-author of this stupid big guy is not a center forward, but a winger?

Crewhead, beer belly, professional winger Lucatu?
But the quality of this cross is not as good as Boyle and Reese.

No. 606 minutes, Lukatu crossed the wing again, exposing his true identity as a professional winger.His breakthrough efficiency on the wing is not low.

boom!
Lukatu made another cross.

But the quality is almost the same as before.

Terribly bad.

The last pass was too deep.

This time it was passed too late.

Almost to the heel of Chiesa.

Chiesa was also smart, knowing that he had no chance to shoot, he simply tapped his heel, and then crossed the small penalty area diagonally, disrupting the defense.

Lu Yang followed into the restricted area and shot hard!
Swish!
With the help of Chiesa's screen, no defensive player can react to this shot.

Simply join the network.

Four to one.

Newcastle extended their lead.

Lock in the victory in advance.

Lu Yang also scored twice, found the feeling of scoring goals, and made a good start for his FA Cup journey.
