Chapter 544: Keegan: Kneel down and beg Zhen Shaolong for advice!

"The ball went in ——!"

"Zhen Shaolong and Barton completed a skillful cooperation, and Newcastle United overtook the score!"

"2 to 1!"

"Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! ”

"Zhen Shaolong first used a fake shot action to deceive Barcelona's human wall and jumped, Barton just followed and dialed back, Zhen Shaolong shot again, and played a subtle arc to complete the goal!"

"The game went to the thirty-seventh minute, the third goal of the game!"

"This free kick is very classic and beautiful, and it can be seen that Barton and Zhen Shaolong have a very tacit understanding, and his ball is just right......"

“……”

The British commentator explained that the background to the goal was the excited and frantic cheers of the home fans in the stands at St James' Park.

Newcastle fans were so excited.

Although in the last round of the group stage, Newcastle United defeated Barcelona 6-3 away, but after all, it happened at the Camp Nou, most fans can only watch the game through the TV, Barcelona is by no means an easy opponent to deal with, even the most fanatical fans have to admit that Barcelona is one of the strongest teams in Europe, regardless of the lineup, strength, results, or experience, it is better than Newcastle United.

It will be too difficult for Newcastle United to beat Barcelona.

The gap between the two sides was also reflected in the game.

In the face of Barcelona's continuous possession, Newcastle United did not have many options, and could only defend passively most of the time, but they were also scored by Barcelona.

Many fans are worried about losing.

The first goal was a bit of luck, it turned out to be an accident in the opponent's goalkeeper's pants, and it can only be said that Zhen Shaolong and Newcastle United were lucky.

Now that Zhen Shaolong has scored another goal, Newcastle United is actually ahead!

The fans have so much reason to cheer!

The shouts of many fans are only three syllables, and together they are Zhen Shaolong's name, they support Zhen Shaolong too much, and Zhen Shaolong did not disappoint the fans, and once again used goals to help the team take the lead.

In the field.

Newcastle United were also celebrating the goal, and Zhen Shaolong was surrounded by his team-mates, but the object of envy and jealousy of his teammates was Barton.

"Brother Zhen, if you have this kind of thing to cooperate with in the future, just find me James Milner? I support you absolutely and unconditionally, and you can do whatever you ask me to do! ”

"Just look for me!"

"That's not right! Find me! Don't rob yeither! Smith immediately said complainingly, "You are all front, and there are a lot of opportunities for goals and assists, and I haven't been associated with scoring goals for a long time." ”

Smith has reason to be depressed.

Before joining Newcastle United, Smith was a versatile player at Manchester United, occasionally playing a cameo as a striker and defender, but Newcastle United has no shortage of people in the midfield, but the backfield needs excellent players, and Smith can only serve as a full-back for a long time.

Smith is not only a full-back, but also the kind of full-back who 'doesn't need to put in an assist'.

That's what Allardyce asked for.

Now Kevin Keegan has also begun to focus on defensive issues, and it is really difficult to find full-backs in the tactical requirements, and he can only stay in the back most of the time, and naturally has no connection with scoring goals at all.

Smith misses the feeling of assisting.

Seeing Barton complete the assist so easily, the envy and jealousy in my heart have been reflected on the surface.

Opposite side.

Barcelona was very depressed up and down, and some players were also very surprised when they recalled the goal just now, because Zhen Shaolong and his teammates cooperated to kick a free kick very rarely, and the action just now was obviously a shot, how did it become a feint?

They don't understand.

Many players were thinking about the 'feint' just now, and they all felt a little incredible, "It's too realistic, right?" ”

"Is that a feint?"

Many players believe that if they do it again, they will still believe it is true.

"This guy's acting skills are so good!"

Many people sighed.

The technical difficulty of breaking the goal just now is not very high, and when there is no wall at the front of the penalty area, many players can kick the arc to complete the goal, but the main thing is that 'no wall is hindered', you need to deceive the whole wall, and you have to make yourself back to adjust, and then you can make a second shot, the difficulty is mainly reflected here.

"That's an IQ goal!"

The more the Barcelona players think about it, the more they feel that the opponent's 'feints' are real, and the players who turn their minds are even thinking about whether to learn some performances and do some performative actions on the field, maybe they can deceive the opponent to complete the goal.

That's art!

Barcelona are not willing to fall behind, they want to win away from home, and the opponent's goal is indeed beautiful, but it is not a reason for them to fall behind.

After the restart of the game, Barcelona continued to attack, and the situation was also a pressing advantage.

Barcelona's overall performance is quite good, they continue to use a pass to play a match, the football firmly controlled at the feet, carefully observe the route of the football, you can notice that their front and back field are very close, when the football is in the backfield, three or four consecutive passes can reach the front, the time taken in the middle is only a few seconds, sometimes the number of seconds used is less than the number of passes, in other words, when they are the fastest, they can complete a pass in less than a second.

This passing frequency is amazing!

Newcastle United's defense is like a big enemy, all players are stubbornly guarding the penalty area, they can't go to the run, defense, they can only continue to stabilize the goal, Keegan's preparation for the game is like this, want to do targeted defense, with the strength of the team is impossible, it can only let more players, concentrated in the front of the penalty area, both sides, blocking the space near the goal, the opponent's possession and then leave, in the subtle, if you want to break the goal, you must find opportunities near the penalty area, defense plays a direct role.

Regardless of Newcastle United's defence, Barcelona's performance was astonishing, and they were only pleasing to the eye with a succession of passes.

It's not just a competition, it's a show.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was very satisfied with the performance on the field, he was a little worried that the team would be affected by the goal, but he didn't expect the team to perform better, and he was suddenly full of confidence, "It's going to be like this!" Give full play to the advantages of technology and cooperation! ”

"Firmly on the ball, dead on the ball!"

"Play everyone's part! As long as you play normally, there is no reason to lose to your opponent! ”

Since Pep Guardiola took charge in the summer, Barcelona's style of play seems to have not changed, and it still follows what Rijkaard left behind, but in fact, it is clear that there are still changes in the team, mainly reflected in the importance of overall coordination.

Rijkaard focuses on the overall coordination and pays more attention to the performance of individual players.

Ronaldinho, under Rijkaard's tactical thinking, has become the most central player in Barcelona, and his occasional performances can even decide the outcome of a game.

Pep Guardiola is different.

Pep Guardiola is more focused on the overall combination than the performance of individual players.

As the season progressed, Barcelona also underwent some 'evolution' in style under Pep Guardiola's leadership, with fewer individual players playing in the game and more coordination as a whole.

One statistic says it all – the number of passes!

Last season, Barcelona averaged 519 passes per game, and this season's league and Champions League games have been improving, and in the last round of La Liga, Barcelona firmly controlled the game, with an astonishing 796 passes in 90 minutes, and an average of almost nine passes in a minute.

This statistic is horrible.

In one minute and sixty seconds, nine passes were completed, with an average of one pass in just over six seconds.

This is the change in Pep Guardiola's coaching, after increasing passing, ball possession, and reducing the proportion of individual play by stars, Barcelona's league results have indeed improved.

Champions......

Regardless of the match with Newcastle United, Barcelona has performed quite well so far, but in any case, what the outside world sees is that Barcelona has played football more pleasing to the eye, and has also made a positive conclusion about Guardiola's coaching.

Now Barcelona is showing their strength, they use dazzling passes, to control the situation of the game, but also Newcastle United defense has been greatly affected, because they can't organize the defensive focus, football can quickly go from left to right, they can only defend on all routes, and as a result, Barcelona used to divert to seize the opportunity.

In the 45th minute of the game, Barcelona moved the ball from the left to the right, and then Xavi in the middle followed up with a diagonal pass, and Messi found an opportunity to pick up a cross into the penalty area.

Eto'o keep up!

Shot!

It's a punch with no angles!

Although the football hit the middle of the goal, the reason for the speed was too fast, and the goalkeeper Givens simply did not have time to make a move.

The ball is in!

2 to 2!

Barcelona equalise!

————

Intermission.

Barcelona's late equaliser made the whole team feel very relaxed, and the players talked to each other as they walked into the dressing room, many with smiles on their lips.

The same goes for Pep Guardiola.

As the head coach of the team, he has to keep a calm heart and face up to the fact that the whole team is very good at cashing in, but they are not ahead, they are just equalising.

So you have to be calm.

Once all the players had returned, Pep Guardiola began to take stock of some of the problems that could have been improved in the first half, from the back to the front, and even down to the performance of individual players.

For example, Messi.

Messi's grasp of the timing of the breakthrough is not very good, and in the next 20 minutes of the game, his breakthrough will hardly be seen, but the occasional opportunity is still good, and if he can break through, he will find the opportunity directly.

Guardiola held a notebook and explained the situation in detail several times, reminding Messi what to do during the game.

The same goes for the other players.

Andres Iniesta, Samuel Eto'o, Sergio Busquets, and Pique, who has been in charge of defending, have all the time recorded the performance of each player, and Guardiola has also said it one by one, so you can see how carefully he watched the game and how detailed the record was.

Many players are in awe of Pep Guardiola.

The other side.

Kevin Keegan and Pep Guardiola have completely different styles, and he barely has a record of games because Newcastle United have been defending all the time, and there is really no good record.

He summed up the first half by saying, "We still have to keep defending stronger!" ”

"The formation still has to continue to shrink!"

"Don't attack the backcourt easily, unless you can ensure that the defense is solid!"

“……”

Kevin Keegan also hopes to be like Pep Guardiola, carefully analysing each player in detail, but he simply can't do it.

Other players are constantly running, making up for defense, and even using their bodies to stabilize the defense, the only one who attacks wholeheartedly is Zhen Shaolong, and Zhen Shaolong did not take the ball most of the time, and was intensively defended by the opponent when he took the ball, but he also scored two goals.

"This guy is the kind of player who doesn't make sense!"

"I don't understand it at all!"

"Running is a big problem, it's a very special approach, sometimes you just stand still...... Anyway, the ball went in! ”

How can Keegan guide him?

He felt that Zhen Shaolong should be asked to point out to himself in turn and explain why he was on the field and could use the kind of opportunity that was not a chance to successfully send the ball into the opponent's goal.

If the success can be replicated to others, maybe Newcastle United will usher in a comprehensive improvement?

Keegan couldn't help but look at Owen.

Owen is said to have been working hard to learn Chinese Kung Fu? Will he become "Zhen Shaolong's second"?
