Chapter 1285 Blood ([-])

On February 2013, 2, Newcastle's home stadium, St. James' Park, was packed. Players from both Chelsea and Newcastle had already appeared on the field and stood still on both sides, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle and the game would begin.

Today's Newcastle has adopted a 4-5-1 formation that strengthens the midfield defense, but some of the recently bought players have already been put on the field.Goalkeeper Krul, defender Debig, Steven Taylor, Coloccini and Thornton are composed of four people, midfielder Perch, Cabaye, Goufran, Sissoko and Gutierrez, and there is only one striker On the surface, although Cisse is a defensive formation, it is obvious that Gufran, Gutierrez, Sissoko and others can break through as wingers at any time. This is a formation specially prepared by Newcastle for Chelsea. As long as there is a chance When they appear, they will attack with all their might.

As for Chelsea, Mourinho is still very persistent in continuing to use Turnbull, who performed mediocrely in the previous game, as the main goalkeeper, and Cech will continue to stay on the bench.Defender Ivanovic and Ashley Cole continued to be placed on the two wings, while the central defender still allowed Terry, who had problems in the previous game, to start, but his partner in this game was not Louis but It's Cahill, at least this combination can avoid the embarrassment of no one being able to defend the high-altitude ball in the previous game.

Lampard continues to hold an important position in the midfielder position, while Mikel appears beside him. Ramirez's sleepwalking in the last game really made Mourinho very angry.

The frontcourt trident Mata got a chance to take a break in this game. Ai Huan, De Bruyne and Lukaku appeared in the frontcourt. In this game, Mourinho actually pushed De Bruyne to the middle position. It is an innovation to let Lukaku appear on the wing, and Huntelaar is the striker. It seems that Mourinho has made up his mind to teach the opponent a lesson.

At the beginning of the game, Newcastle launched an offensive. They also hoped to continue the playing style of Reading in the previous game and use offense to suppress the opponent. So less than 1 minute into the game, Cabaye passed the ball and Gufran shot from the left side of the penalty area. , but the football did not kick in and was easily confiscated by Turnbull.

In the 5th minute, Newcastle once again made a comeback and passed the ball from Sissoko. Cisse's shot from outside the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Cahill, and then Turnbull hugged the football in his arms. Two minutes later, Gufran passed the ball again, and Thornton's strong shot from 2 yards was firmly confiscated by Turnbull.

After that, Chelsea, who were a little uncomfortable, gradually entered the rhythm of the game. Although Ai Huan and others would be booed as long as they got the ball, it was meaningless to these people.In the 10th minute, De Bruyne made a pass in the middle, Lukaku made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and the unguarded Lampard volleyed with his left foot but missed the football.

No. In 19 minutes, De Bruyne passed the ball again, but Lukaku's shot was still higher than the goal.

No. In the 20th minute, Newcastle launched a counterattack and Sissoko knocked back. Cabaye volleyed from the right and was confiscated by Turnbull again.After Turnbull stood up, he immediately threw the ball and prepared to launch a counterattack, but he made a mistake in throwing the ball and threw it directly at the opponent's feet. Turnbull's reaction was quick, and the football was firmly under him again.

No.20 In the second minute, Newcastle continued to exert pressure. This time, Cabaye's shot in front of the penalty area missed again. After 1 minute, Ivanovic made a header clearance, and Thornton volleyed directly wide from 25 yards. No. In 208 minutes, Gufran's low pass from the right was blocked by Cahill, and Sissoko's follow-up volley from the right side of the penalty area still missed the target.

In the first half an hour, Ai Phantom seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which also made Newcastle feel very comfortable. Their offense was indeed vigorous after wave after wave.However, Ai Huan also has his own difficulties. It is not that he does not want to make contributions, but it is obvious that De Bruyne and Lukaku are not very suitable for their respective positions, which also makes Chelsea's midfield look a bit messy.

But this can't blame De Bruyne and Lukaku. After getting the ball, De Bruyne is used to rushing forward instead of transferring, while Lukaku thinks about doing it himself whenever he has a chance. Naturally, there will be a strange phenomenon in Chelsea, which has few opportunities. Chelsea's current right is like a decoration, and Ai Huan seems to be cruising outside the tactics.

"Jose, should I move Ai Huan to the middle? It's a bit too ugly now." Rui couldn't help being a little anxious. They were evened in the last minute of the last game, which still made them a little suffocated. of.

Mourinho was also very anxious in his heart, but there was absolutely nothing bad on the surface, he just shook his head lightly, "No, I have spent more than half a season getting Ai Huan familiar with this position, now we can’t give up all previous efforts, and if De Bruyne can’t grow up as soon as possible, he can only become a metronome in the middle of his life, and his level can actually become a core. But Lukaku can’t be a winger. It has also been seen, it seems that next season we need to introduce at least one wide player, this is the only way to ensure that our lineup does not have major problems."

As the game continued, Newcastle's attack still seemed aggressive. In the 30th minute, Mikel received a yellow card for flying against Gutierrez. Fortunately, Newcastle's free kick was directly blocked.And Chelsea also launched a counterattack.

This time Lampard made a direct pass from the backcourt to the right, and Ai Huan suddenly started to use his speed to quickly get rid of the opponent's defender. Ai Huan suddenly passed the ball to the middle while advancing at high speed. Sure enough, the Newcastle players didn't expect it at all. It came out empty.

Huntelaar did not hesitate, after all, he had cooperated with Ai Huan before, so when Ai Huan made a high-speed assault, he was already prepared. Seeing that the football had rolled in front of him, he immediately kicked hard The shot hits the football.

The football whizzed towards the goal, and it seemed that it was about to rush into the goal, but at this moment, Krull rushed over desperately. He almost used all the strength in his body to ruthlessly rush towards the football, but even if it was In this way, he didn't hit the football, but the football also hit him in the face, and then bounced to the other side. After that, Krull groaned and fell directly to the ground. This time, blocking the shot with his face still let him It is difficult to stand up in a short time.
