Chapter Eighty-Three: Victory
Keegan's scheduling really worked, at the beginning of the second half, Newcastle had the upper hand with one less man, Ferdinand had the help of Welshman Allen in the front, and the impact on the Saint-Germain defenders was much greater, plus Allen had a considerable height advantage in the middle of the penalty area, and several Saint-Germain defenders frowned slightly.
On the contrary, Newcastle basically abandoned the possession of the ball in midfield when attacking, and some only made very rough tackles and then kicked up front.
Fernandez glanced at Keegan, whose face was like a rock, and secretly thought in his heart: "It is worthy of Keegan, and only he can do such a thing of abandoning the car to protect the handsome." ”
It seems that Keegan has given up the midfield, but for the Premier League team, the long pass is their strength, Newcastle itself gave up the midfield scheduling, and at the same time forced Saint-Germain to be unable to control the ball well in the midfield, so that Saint-Germain follows Newcastle's rhythm to play, then the home team will control their pace, and the initiative will all fall into the hands of Newcastle, equalizing or even overtaking, but it is only a matter of time.
But there must be a premise for all this, that is, Saint-Germain really has to play with the rhythm of Newcastle, Fernandes is expressionless, he knows such a simple truth, Ling Feng must be able to see it.
Ling Feng was tackled twice by the opponent, the ball was lost, and the opponent immediately hit a long pass to the front court, Aaron's height advantage was very obvious, and Negeti and his grabbing points basically did not take any advantage.
Ling Feng frowned and stopped, he also saw Newcastle's intentions, which was to replace the organization of the midfield with a steal in the backfield, and turn the rhythm of the game into their fast attack, which was the last thing Saint-Germain wanted to see.
On the court, Ling Feng was equivalent to half a coach, although the authorities were fascinated, but once he saw it clearly, Ling Feng immediately reacted in time.
Newcastle launched another long-pass counter-attack, the same point for Allen, Negerti had no advantage in the air at all, the ball was pushed down by Allen again, and Gillespie controlled the ball at the second point.
Just as he was about to stuff the ball to Ferdinand on the wing, suddenly a strong force came from behind him, the whole person lost his balance, and then his feet were empty, and the ball was gone.
Looking back, it was the guy with number 46.
It's Ling Feng!
He watched for a long time, Newcastle's routine is like this, Allen scrambles for the first point, Gillespie grabs the second point, and then passes to the side, and then Ferdinand's breakthrough cross is the bottom, Allen has already hit the penalty area at this time and is ready to grab the goal.
Even if there were some changes in the middle, the general routine was like this, so Ling Feng ambushed in the midfield and hit Gillespie with a fatal blow.
Ling Feng, who broke the ball, did not quickly dribble forward as usual, but controlled the ball and knocked it back to Le Guun in the midfield.
The French veteran was stunned, this doesn't look like Ling Feng's style?
At this time, Ling Feng shouted loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, take your time, now we are leading by one goal." ”
Djokaeff and Locke, who were about to move forward quickly, stopped, with a sudden look on their faces, as the main offensive force of the French national team, they naturally knew what Ling Feng meant.
Djokaeff and Raj immediately retreated, leaving Locke alone in front of the penalty area, and the defenders who were pulling the opposing team did not dare to press forward.
Ling Feng winked at Djokaeff, and several of Saint-Germain's skilled players began to pound unhurriedly in the midfield.
This made Newcastle's defenders crazy, and with the delicate cooperation of Saint-Germain, they couldn't even stick to the edge of the ball, so they could only follow the rhythm of Saint-Germain.
Keegan frustrated kicked a mineral water bottle away, their team had already controlled the rhythm, but was easily reversed by the Chinese, now they are behind at home, Saint-Germain only need to run out of time to win, and when they return home, it will be very difficult to get all three points.
Keegan shouted at his defenders, "Shrink the defense!" Don't run after them and narrow the defensive circle. ”
It worked, as Newcastle's defenders didn't follow in the footsteps of Saint-Germain, but instead held their positions and left the flanks free.
Keegan was also right, Ligue 1 teams were a notch weaker than Premier League teams in the control of the ball, and even if the flanks were free, Saint-Germain's low cross only created an opportunity for themselves to counterattack.
But this time Ling Feng they were not fooled, although the two sides opened a large distance, but Saint-Germain did not have too many side breakthroughs, still patiently passed in the midfield, occasionally when the opportunity was good, Ling Feng and Djokaeff suddenly shot a cold shot outside the penalty area, which could also scare Zenichek half a small life.
However, Newcastle's defence remained solid, with most of their shots being blocked by defenders, and there were few that could threaten the goal.
And under the tacit cooperation of the three lines of Saint-Germain, coupled with the fact that Newcastle's attacker Gillespie was very stuck to Ling Feng, he couldn't organize the attack at all, even if the home team got several opportunities to counterattack, but it was all in vain.
In this way, the two teams dragged on until the twenty minutes of the second half, and the score remained unchanged, and Saint-Germain still led 1-0.
Keegan is depressed, now Newcastle does not dare to press on the attack, once the rear line is vacant, Ling Feng can seize the opportunity to expand the score, a home goal is already very depressing, if you concede another goal, then the next game to Saint-Germain's home game is really dangerous.
The players of Saint-Germain were not satisfied with this result, but Newcastle's defenders were all cowering in front of the penalty area, and they couldn't attack Ling Feng and others if they didn't come out.
Ling Feng also thought about creating a free kick, but Newcastle's defenders were very fine, and under Keegan's special orders before the game, no one would foul him in the danger zone in front of the penalty area.
However, in the non-dangerous area, he was not so polite to Ling Feng......
Ling Feng couldn't help but feel angry, this kind of Laipi's style of play really made him have no choice but to wait, waiting for the opponent to show a trace of space and seize the opportunity.
The two sides fell into a stalemate in this way, and the two coaches were more anxious than the other, but the expressions on their faces were like old monks, one calmer than the other, but they all wanted to go up and hit the ball one by one.
After another five minutes, Saint-Germain finally got a chance, and it was a corner, but it was a Newcastle corner......
For Ling Feng, such a ball is a great opportunity to break quickly, as a player with a comprehensive skill and speed like him, such an opportunity can change the score in an instant.
But the first thing to do is to make sure that you are not scored by the opponent.
Ling Feng and Djokaeff whispered a few words and ran back to the penalty area, staring at Aaron, who had the most obvious advantage in the opponent's high altitude.
The Welshman immediately felt the pressure on his side, much more threatening than Negerti, who had been watching him, and couldn't help but look back, it was this 16-year-old Chinese?!
Jokes, even the king of headers, Bierhoff, can't please Ling Feng's marking, let alone Aaron.
Gillespie stood at the corner kick point with the ball in his arms, almost shed tears, he has been disturbed by Ling Feng since the second half, unable to pass a good ball, and now he can finally pass the ball without interference, the excitement in his heart......
Gillespie drove the ball out of the way and looked for Allen, who became a beacon for Newcastle when Asprilla was not on the pitch.
However, the lighthouse had been obscured by a dark cloud, and when the corners of Gillespie's mouth turned up, he thought Aaron would be able to put the ball in the back of the pack, and a man suddenly came out of the back of the Welshman and headed the ball high into the box.
It was the Chinese who made him depressed for half the time - Ling Feng!
Ling Feng's head flick just gave the ball to Djokaef who received in front of the penalty area, and the French midfielder immediately distributed the ball to Rai on the wing and controlled the ball.
Rai understood what his team-mate meant, and gently knocked the ball back before handing it to Djokaeff, who didn't stop the ball and slammed his heel to make it past Clark's scramble and roll into the centre circle.
Clark hurriedly chased back, and just as his foot was about to touch the ball, suddenly a purple figure passed by him, and the ball was gone.
It's Ling Feng again! He headed the ball out and immediately went forward, and Rai and Djokaev controlled the ball just to wait for Ling Feng to arrive.
Ling Feng, who was at full speed, was unstoppable, Keegan almost fainted on the sidelines, and kept asking the players not to give Ling Feng a chance to move forward at full speed, but he still couldn't prevent it, Ling Feng came again!
Keegan is not the only one who has this idea, Newcastle's defenders have naturally seen the video of Ling Feng's game, and when Ling Feng is given the opportunity to break through at full speed, it means that he is not far from scoring.
Although Newcastle's defenders did not want to give up, only three people remained in the backline at this time, and all of them stayed in midfield.
"Foul it!" Keegan yelled loudly into the room.
But you also have to have a chance to foul!
Albert knew it was too late when he rushed towards Ling Feng, and sure enough, Ling Feng slammed the ball forward, and then jumped over Albert's flying shovel and rushed towards the goal with great agility.
Behind him, there was a Siberian plain, and Ling Feng was facing a seven-meter-wide goal and a shivering goalkeeper after the ball was divided.
Watson and Clark desperately chased back, but Ling Feng's speed was too fast, and the distance between them and Ling Feng was only getting farther and farther, seeing that Ling Feng had already rushed to the front of the big forbidden area.
Zenichek is so depressed, he doesn't dare to attack, according to Ling Feng's perverted footwork, the midfield ball can be hung directly in the penalty area, let alone such an unguarded empty goal.
Zenichek understands that as long as he runs out of the small penalty area, Ling Feng can directly hoist the ball into the goal, which no one in the world doubts.
He was waiting, waiting for Ling Feng to rush into the penalty area, so that he still had a glimmer of hope to seal the angle and block the ball, although the hope was small, close to slim......
When Ling Feng burst into the big forbidden area, Zenicek rushed out with a loud roar, he was expecting that his powerful roar would create a little pressure on Ling Feng and make him a little messy.
The more than 40,000 fans in the stands also began to boo, they also hoped that the noise they had created could put pressure on Ling Feng, everyone knew that if this goal was scored again, Newcastle would basically have one and a half legs out of the Cup Winners' Cup final.
However, Ling Feng's psychological quality is not ordinarily strong, and the earth-shattering boos around him have not had a negative impact on him, if it really has an impact, then how can you see that this guy is running more happily?
Zenicek's roar also had no effect on Ling Feng, Ling Feng watched his attack route suddenly swing his left leg and make a volley motion, still not forgetting to yell like Zenicek in his mouth.
Zenicek was really frightened, since Ling Feng took the ball, his psychological pressure has been very high, so that he can barely breathe, and now Ling Feng's roar made him suddenly blind, just subconsciously stretched his head back, stretched out his hands to block his lower half of Shen.
This looks less like a goalkeeper's reaction when faced with a single knife, but rather like a ...... A frightened little girl.
Ling Feng was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this effect, he gently knocked the ball, bypassed the panicked Zenicek, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.
2:0! In the thirty-fifth minute of the second half, Ling Feng finally expanded the score and further forced Newcastle into the abyss.
It's just that the most brilliant thing about this goal is Zenicek's cowardly performance, he was afraid to dodge, and had to let fans all over Britain point to Zenicek's nose and scold together.
"It's a loss!" This is a sentence that is full of Keegan's mind, and with about ten minutes left, it is a fool's dream to chase back two goals.
However, Newcastle's players did not give up, Ferdinand, Allen and Gillespie began to attack Saint-Germain, but because Gillespie was stamped by Ling Feng, he couldn't pass a good ball at all, even if he passed it occasionally, he was cut off by other Saint-Germain defenders before Ferdinand didn't receive the ball, so although Newcastle had an advantage on the field, there were very few threatening shots on goal.
Also because Newcastle's players dare not press up, after all, there is an away game, although it is difficult, but it is not without hope of winning, if you play well, it is still possible to achieve two goal difference, but if you are scored by the opponent at this time, then there is really no hope at all.
Newcastle's players are just because they have the idea of leaving a back road, the defenders dare not press, and the forward line can not get effective support, so they can only watch the game time pass little by little.
In the end, the referee finally blew three whistles and the game ended with Saint-Germain winning 2-0 away.
