Chapter 260 Owen's Hat Trick [5400 Chapters, Please Vote]
Another substitution?
The fourth official on the sidelines once again raised the electronic substitution sign in front of more than 30,000 pairs of incredible eyes when the ball was dead.
Robbie Keane No. 10 on!
Michael Dawson No. 5 off!
A striker replaced a central defender, and Tottenham's field formation changed to 3-1-3-3. The courage of Dutch coach Martin Jol once again won the applause of Tottenham fans in the stands, although these fanatical fans themselves found it a bit difficult to understand Martin Jol's substitution...
...
In fact, if you put yourself in the position of the head coach, Martin Jol's decision has his own difficulties-
In the first half, the team was already two goals behind, and the team's defense line was hard to rely on under the destruction of Owen Turner. If they wanted to equalize the score, they had to strengthen the offense. In this case, what other choice was there besides replacing the striker?
The only surprising thing is that the Dutch coach made two substitutions too early. After 35 minutes of the game, Tottenham had already used up two substitutions. Even the sultry Lee Tong-fan had to give a thumbs up and praise: Martin Joel, a real warrior...
The tactical changes of the "Warriors" finally worked this time-
Berbatov was in the middle, Darren Bent and Robbie Keane were on both sides, and the powerful attack of the three forwards finally made Newcastle's defense a little difficult to resist!
You know, no matter how Steven Taylor's ability has improved by leaps and bounds under Lee Tong-fan's "modification", after all, he is not so awesome that he can become a superman with the power of external incarnation. He is obviously not strong enough in the situation of one against three!
In the 38th minute, White Hart Lane finally ushered in a huge cheer-
German teenager Kevin Boateng staggered to Luka Modric under the harassment of Joey Barton!
The young Croatian player once again "danced gracefully", with a series of butterfly-like feints to shake off James Milner's defense, and then used an imaginative pass to send the ball to the right side of Newcastle's defense...
The ball quickly passed through the gap between the defense of the Magpies' central defender David Lozehar and the right back Charles N'Zogbia, and landed at the feet of Darren Bent who was running along the sideline at high speed!
Bent, who has always been very independent, did not rush for merit and was very smart to pass the ball with his left foot at the first time...
So, a white parabola appeared from the feet of the Tottenham striker and flew directly into the Newcastle penalty area!
In the penalty area, Steven Taylor and Berbatov were entangled, and David Lozehar obviously turned too slowly and stood there like a wooden stake...
Tottenham's chance!
On the small penalty area line, Tottenham's center forward Robbie Keane, who had just come on as a substitute, jumped high and headed the ball into the goal without any interference from any defensive players...
Bang!
The football hit the crossbar of the goal like a cannonball and bounced out again!
A mistake?
The Tottenham fans in the back stand closest to the goal could hear the crossbar trembling and humming like a wail of pain...
The football bounced back and landed at the feet of the Magpie defender Lozerhal who finally turned around!
The Czech player was like an elk seeing a lion. In panic, he kicked the football out of the baseline...
The whistle sounded, and Tottenham got a corner kick on the right side!
This was the best chance Tottenham had gotten since the start of the game!
The Irishman Robbie Keane, who missed the opportunity, rubbed his short hair regretfully. He didn't get enough warm-up because he came on as a substitute in a hurry. If it were before...
Just as Keane was extremely annoyed, the reactions of the fans on both sides of the stands were interesting -
Woo~~
- This was a trembling cry!
Snap-Snap-Snap-Snap-Snap-Snap! !
——This is thunderous applause!
Through Robbie Keane's header, Tottenham fans and Magpies fans once again made the most direct contest in their own way!
Unfortunately, it was the Newcastle side that failed——
Because of the absolute advantage in numbers, the applause that Tottenham fans stood up for this threatening attack effortlessly drowned out the exclamations of a small group of "Magpies" with all their strength...
On the field!
The game continues!
Tottenham's corner kick!
Luka Modric used a curved ball to accurately send the football to the penalty spot, but unfortunately the Tottenham captain Ledley King, who jumped high, did not grab the first point. Ferdinand's soul-possessed "Little Superman" Steven Taylor jumped up and headed the ball to clear the ball...
This time, it was the turn of Tottenham fans to exclaim and Magpies fans to applaud!
"...Steven Taylor has become Tottenham's nemesis. The 22-year-old Newcastle youngster has repeatedly disrupted Tottenham's effective offense..." The firm Li Hei commentator Mike Donald rubbed his big nose and lamented: "Damn it, this excited big guy must be asked to take a urine test after the game..."
Sidelines!
As the situation changes, Martin Joel's frowned eyebrows gradually relax...
And Li Tongfan's expression is a little serious!
It has to be admitted that Martin Joel is indeed a very courageous and thoughtful head coach! The Dutch coach only took 30 minutes to grasp the lifeblood of Newcastle——
If his first substitution was to passively strengthen the offense because of the unfavorable surface situation, then his second bold substitution of Robbie Keane completely found a way to break Newcastle's suppression!
Because, although the data analysis information and suggestions given by Li Tongfan to the Magpies players before the game can help the Hammers suppress Tottenham players by reflecting their speed and habitual movements, when Tottenham Hotspur's offense becomes more and more When the sharpness and impact exceed a certain limit, no matter how well you know your opponent's habitual movements in advance, you will become powerless in the confrontation...
For example, the original Newcastle was like a "broken bucket" with water leaking everywhere!
Before this game, although Li Tongfan, a skilled "carpenter", rescued and repaired it in a short period of time, the water storage capacity of the "broken barrel" was greatly enhanced, but in essence, it was still a "broken barrel" Just a broken barrel"...
Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur's "water filling" capacity exceeds the capacity of the "broken barrel", the water will eventually overflow... Unless Li Tongfan is given enough time to make a brand new barrel, it can fundamentally Solve the problem!
The problem now is that Martin Joel decisively increased Tottenham's "water injection capacity", but Li Tongfan did not have enough time to make a new barrel!
Therefore, what is supposed to come will come!
Even though Newcastle struggled to survive Tottenham's first two attacks, in the 44th minute of the first half, the "water" finally overflowed from the hastily repaired "broken barrel"...
In the 44th minute, Tottenham finally broke through the Newcastle gate controlled by Given -
It's Luka Modric's performance again!
After receiving the ball from the center circle, the Croatian teenager did not distribute the ball as soon as he was accustomed to it. Instead, he chose to dribble unexpectedly continuously. After breaking through the pull and press of Newcastle defenders, he rushed to the right side of the Magpies' penalty area aggressively. side!
This is where Modric is smart!
Because the Croatian midfielder found that when he played in the way he was most familiar with before, he would always be suppressed by his opponents, so the smart Modric had an idea and chose to use unconventional methods to solve the problem!
Players who can use their brains to kick the ball are scary!
Therefore, Modric's sudden change easily deceived the Newcastle players who gradually became dependent on the information given by Li Tongfan!
Opportunities come so naturally!
After successfully disrupting Newcastle's defensive system, Modric made a series of swings on the right side of the penalty area and easily shook the Magpies full-back Charles N'Zogbia...
Then he made a quick grass-cutting pass with his right foot...
In the restricted area!
Berbatov, the Bulgarian "cool brother" who appeared like a ghost near Newcastle's penalty kick, shot with his instep in a "cool" way...The football passed "cool" in goalkeeper Given, who was struggling to save...and then slowly fell in "cool" goal……
A cool shot from start to finish!
1:2!
Tottenham Hotspur finally got a goal back!
"...YES!!YES...YES!!! Modric's magician-like performance toyed with Newcastle's entire defense, and Berbatov also let the Magpies know what real An elegant shot!"
MacDonald finally found an opportunity to vent his anger towards Crazy Lee who had been controlling the situation on the court. He was as excited as a special patient who had just escaped from the Psychiatric Hospital on Joint Defense Road in North London, and he spoke a little unscrupulously: "... GOOOOOOOAL~~~~~This is just the beginning, hahaha, disaster is about to come to Newcastle..."
In response to Donald's wanton roar, White Hart Lane erupted!
Thunderous applause!
Cheers! !
Jumping for joy like thousands of horses galloping! ! !
Martin Joel also jumped up excitedly on the sidelines, pumping his fists!
At this time, the broadcast camera quickly focused on Crazy Li. The mischievous director wanted to find an angry or helpless expression on the popular coach's face immediately, but...
Li Tongfan very calmly made a gesture of withdrawing defense...
Recycle!
There are less than 3 minutes left in the first half plus injury time. Let the North Londoners be happy for a while!
Very afraid of love, boss Li Tongfan's gesture made Newcastle's offensive madmen obediently return to their own second half to participate in defense. Flash killer Michael Owen leads by example and uses himself as a defensive midfielder in a serious manner...
Three minutes later!
Push~~~~
Referee Willy blew the whistle to end the game without any delay!
The first half of the game is over!
# # #
Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game begins!
Although the night wind in North London is still cold, the annoying endless drizzle has finally stopped!
At the beginning of the game, people were surprised to find that Newcastle coach Madman Lee also changed two people in one breath——
No. 11 winger Duff comes off, No. 5 midfielder Emre comes on!
No. 4 center back David Lozehar is off, No. 36 forward Viduka is on!
As a result, Newcastle's formation also changed to 3-4-3! In the first half of the game, Martin Joel was imitating Crazy Li's formation, but in the second half, Crazy Li imitated Martin Joel's tactics!
"...Haha, the crazy Lee who was cornered made a stupid move..." Mac Donald mocked sarcastically: "...Newcastle, with four defenders, has been breached by Berbatov once. Does he arrogantly think that replacing a defender can freeze Tottenham's forwards? A despicable imitation, haha..."
This is an undisguised biased commentary!
It is worth mentioning that such commentary can actually be heard in the relatively relaxed environment of the Premier League!
However, even so, a small group of Newcastle fans in the north stand still glared at the commentary booth and cursed, and raised 2,351 white hairy middle fingers...
...
On the field!
The game continues!
For the time being, it seems that Newcastle has not recovered from the situation after the substitution, but has encountered danger again and again! If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Irish goalkeeper Given, Tottenham fans would probably have another chance to cheer!
Is it really a whim-like substitution that has no effect?
The camera is aimed at Crazy Li!
Li Tongfan was talking and laughing with the anxious assistant coach Shearer, not paying attention to the game on the field at all!
…
On the sidelines!
Alan Shearer rubbed his slightly bald forehead, absent-mindedly perfunctory to the sultry man, when he saw Given in the penalty area again using all his strength to save Robbie Keane's shot in his arms...
The assistant coach finally couldn't help it and tried to suggest: "Li, um... that, should we temporarily withdraw our defense..."
After the start of the second half, Newcastle returned to the fearless and crazy attacking stage in the first few minutes of the first half!
Who knew that Li Tongfan smiled mysteriously: "Alan, don't worry, the uncle on the opposite side will cry soon..."
Old Li pointed his finger at Martin Joel standing in front of the Tottenham command seat, with a lewd face!
Big... big uncle?
If that guy is an uncle, then wouldn't I also be an uncle?
Alan Shearer looked at Martin Joel, who was not much older than him, with a frown on his face!
...
In fact, Li Tongfan was very confident in his substitutions!
The reason is simple!
Although Martin Joel boldly replaced Robbie Keane in the first half and increased Tottenham's "water injection", he quickly broke the capacity of Newcastle's "broken bucket" and helped Tottenham gain an advantage on the field, but...
But the disadvantages of such substitutions are also obvious - sacrificing Tottenham's defensive ability!
If you don't take advantage, you are a bastard!
So the sultry man made the same choice as Martin Joel without hesitation - since the defense can't hold, then I will specifically attack your weaknesses and "attack" you to death with endless attacks!
Among the two new players, Emre, a Turkish genius who once played for Inter Milan, is a spiritual player with super creativity and ball control. Li asked him to play the role of Modric in Tottenham, injecting imagination into Newcastle's midfield so that the Magpies' midfield can create more shooting opportunities for "Owens"!
Although Viduka, known as the "Australian Rhino", is over 30 years old, his [Strong] value of 20 and [Bounce] value of 16 in the FM2008 system make Viduka's physical strength no less than that of the Premier League Warcraft Drogba!
Li Tongfan wants to use the body of the "Australian Rhino" to attack Tottenham's three-man defense in the most brutal and violent way to create a crisis!
Two-pronged approach!
...
On the field!
After Newcastle precariously resisted Tottenham's offensive, it quickly launched a counterattack!
Emre's ball control ability largely dispersed the pressure on Alan Smith. The Turkish player's several fatal passes in front of the Tottenham penalty area made the Tottenham fans in the stands tremble with fear!
In the first 20 minutes of the second half, the Magpies and Tottenham went back and forth, playing offensive football! The fans were trembling with fear while shouting with excitement, and their hands covered their hearts...
Who will seize the opportunity first?
In the 75th minute, the killing intent came again!
The two players replaced by Crazy Lee in the midfield played a crucial role in Newcastle's attack!
After Joey Barton's backcourt pass reached Alan Smith's feet, Smith, who was on the wing, jumped up slightly, and his feet knocked the ball with his heels in an incredible way in the air ten centimeters above the ground...
It was too sudden! !
Tottenham full-back Lee Young-pyo, who was defending Alan Smith, was dumbfounded!
The Koreans had never thought that the Newcastle attacking midfielder with strong limbs and simple mind could play such a delicate trick...
This sudden pass made the offensive and defensive rhythm on the court faster instantly!
It was Emre who received the pass from Alan Smith
The Turkish genius casually lifted the ball with the outside of his instep while running...
Another acrobatic pass!!
This time, the only defensive midfielder O'Hara of Tottenham was dumbfounded!
The White Hart Lane rookie's aggressive pressing only received a ball of surprised air, and the ball playfully flew high into the Tottenham penalty area!
Central defender Ledley King wanted to control the first landing point!
But after the Tottenham captain moved a step, he installed a "copper wall and iron wall" - the Australian rhino Viduka stuck in the best position and carried Ledley King to unload the ball!
Ledley King pushed?
Can't push!
Pull?
Can’t be pulled away!
Viduka stood firmly on the edge of the Tottenham penalty area as if he had taken root!
After resisting the Tottenham captain’s counter-grab, the Australian rhino showed his delicate footwork skills - he swayed to the right and was about to turn around, but the football under his feet was steadily sent to the empty space on the left side of his body...
Where is it?
Michael Owen!!!
Bang!
Before everyone could react, the crisp sound of the instep hitting the football exploded at White Hart Lane!
This was an unreasonable shot!
Fast! Heavy!!! Fierce!!! Accurate!!!
Whoosh~~
The football made a sound of wind!
Opposite!
Paul Robinson, who performed well, defeated Owen, who had a strong outbreak in this game for the third time! After shooting, Owen didn’t even wait for the football to cross the goal line, and began to turn around and run towards the coaching bench...
Because the person he wanted to thank was laughing wildly with Shearer on the sidelines!
3:1!
Hat trick!
Tottenham, who had just closed the gap, was dealt a heavy blow!
Michael Owen, the king who returned, shot three different ways, like three cold steel knives, each one deadly!
This time, more than 30,000 mouths of Tottenham fans had to stop their arrogant boos, and the 2,000 Magpies fans who had been suppressed by them for most of the game finally showed the energy of Newcastle people to the whole of England with loud singing at White Hart Lane for the first time!
The performance of 2,000 people suppressed 30,000 opponents for the first time!
…
There were less than 20 minutes left in the game, and Tottenham seemed powerless to turn the tide! After the restart, the Tottenham players seemed very impatient!
Because in another game that started at the same time in this round, the Red Devils Manchester United, who were originally ranked fifth in the standings, were already four goals ahead of their opponents. If they lost this game, Tottenham would fall out of the top four in the standings!
