My cousin went on a blind date with a girl some time ago, and decided to take the girl out to travel together to cultivate his feelings, so he sent a message saying: "The first time I traveled out of the province, I was so excited, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

I replied, "Count your period!"

Tickets were hard to come by at St James's Stadium in Newcastle City over the weekend, and Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi took a big turn but still found nothing, and finally the two gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and took out £150 to buy two second-tier tickets that were originally worth £30. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Crystal Palace team of the two has ended this round of competition early, and the team finally drew 2-2 away to the strong Everton team. was supposed to go back to London with the team to enjoy the holiday, but Fan Zhiyi moved his mind halfway and proposed to come over to see the scene. Sun Jihai naturally didn't say anything, and changed his itinerary with a lap of his leg.

The two of them have now passed the language barrier, and the main position is worry-free, and with the continuous growth of knowledge, their minds have also advanced from the rookie stage, and they have a desire for further progress.

As the best in the domestic league, winning awards is a common thing for them, and now that they have taken root in the Premier League, it is natural to be itchy. However, compared with the ambitions they had when they first arrived, the two are now much more pragmatic and do not have ideas such as "passing on the wealthy".

The FA Cup and the League Cup, these two cups specially tailored for the middle and lower teams, have always been dark horse gathering places and hotbeds of upsets. Crystal Palace also has a long history, but the strange thing is that this team known for its "lifts" has worked hard in the league for many years, and has never won any championships with any weight!

This situation is really embarrassing for the fans, but it has become the perfect opportunity for these two outsiders.

Think about it, an originally unknown team, with the efforts of two Chinese, laughed at the XX Cup as a dark horse, and finally helped the team win the championship for the first time!

The picture is simply beautiful, and the two of them feel excited when they think about it.

Of course, as battle-hardened veterans, the two know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and if they want to help the team achieve a breakthrough, the improvement of their own strength is the first priority.

Sun Jihai is 23 years old this year, Fan Zhiyi is 30 years old this year, there is little room for improvement in technology, and after more than half a year of tempering in tactics, he has gradually met the requirements of the Premier League. If you want to further improve your strength, seeing more, thinking and practicing more is the foundation, and the guidance of famous teachers is the shortcut.

The domestic evaluation of Youmo is still mixed, and the influence was quickly surpassed by Lu Wei, and together with Arsenal, it has become synonymous with tragedy and a good target for ridicule. But in the eyes of insiders, a guy who can score goals no matter what position he plays doesn't need to prove his strength to anyone!

What is football for?

Can anything be more important than scoring goals?

It's common for strikers to score goals, and it's not uncommon for midfielders to score, so what the hell is a defender who can score consistently?

In fact, in terms of technical and tactical level at his feet, Lu Wei is undoubtedly the first person in Asia, and the Asian Footballer of the Year at the end of the year has already been decided. However, for the Son and Fan duo, defenders who can score goals are more attractive, and it is totally worth spending £150 to watch him play.

"Newcastle have been so stable this season!"

After the two complained about the old non-professional course, the conversation began to focus as their eyes began. Fan Zhiyi's eldest brother is full of style, and he has not changed his anger after coming to the UK for more than half a year.

Sun Jihai is much more receptive to new things, and his words and deeds are very attentive to his image.

"Yes, I thought this season was a two-man rotation between Manchester United and Chelsea, but I didn't expect Arsenal and Newcastle to be so stable!"

'Chelsea still lack a bit of foundation, and the strong dialogue is not domineering enough. Manchester United is the most unexpected, and I admire Ferguson anyway. ”

"The lord has the courage to say one thing and the most daring to use the knife against the big names, which few people can compare with him. I used to think Wenger was good, and he had a set of tactics, but the sadness I saw last season was really not worth it! ”

"There is no way, selling Anelka in the middle of the season is the biggest failure, and the big one falls later, and the whole team has no backbone, so it's no wonder if it doesn't collapse!"

"In this way, Wenger is still significantly worse than Ferguson?"

'You don't have enough control in the dressing room, you can only count on the players when you have a tough game. If you think about it, if there is no guy who takes the lead in charging on the battlefield, he only relies on stragglers to fight guerrilla there...... Tsk, who is to blame for the defeat? ”

'They've changed a lot this season, just at the back. It's ...... that the team's top scorer actually played at centre-back Who came up with the ghost idea? ”

"Hey, hey, we were also Golden Boots back then....... In fact, if you think about it, it's normal that Arsenal have been hovering between the two styles last season, and in the end they chose a path that didn't fit their own style, and as a result, they relied on Dayou's explosion all the way and almost had the last laugh. ”

"Well, on the surface, it's a little worse, but a closer analysis can tell it. The style change is too blunt, except for a few people, the performance of everyone else is not very good, the team is too dependent, and without one or two people, they will not play. ”

"Arsene Wenger seems to be determined to play a technical style this season?"

"Yes, the technical flow of play requires everyone to be involved in the movement of the ball. The central defender has a lot of space to get the ball, and with Dayou's current foot skills, he doesn't dare to take the ball in other positions. ”

"But the ball at the back is just a transition, and his personal data will be greatly affected, right?"

"Then you need to ask? To put it simply, he sacrificed his performance for the team. ”

"Why sacrifice? Is it necessary? If he wants to go to Manchester United, Arsenal can't keep him, right? ”

Looking at Sun Jihai with an excited face, Fan Zhiyi shook his head lightly and turned his gaze to the field.

It took a while for a few words to pop out of my mouth.

"Who knows, genius ideas are always different."

......

Away against the dark horses, Arsene Wenger lined up the strongest attacking lineup in the current situation.

Lehmann, Ashley Cole, Chloe Toure, Youmo, Lauren, Vieira, Pire, Bergkamp, Wiltord, Ljungberg, Henry.

Such a squad is clearly at the opposite end of the spectrum, with an average age of only 22.8 years old, and they have already surpassed the famous youth team - Liverpool - and temporarily sit at the top of the Premier League.

Seeking stability at home and taking risks away, what kind of whimsical idea is this?

The reason is actually quite simple.

The last game untied Wenger's knot and kicked away the burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing!

Since it is a dark horse, the home team must strive for a win, with Arsenal's strong attack and weak defensive characteristics, the full defense is just a repeat of the situation against Chelsea.

The Champions League semi-finals, the away defeat of the star-studded Inter Milan, two goals behind can still tie Barcelona's Premier League firepower king, facing an opponent at the level of Newcastle, actually up to protect the vital point and wait to be beaten?

Can't afford to lose face!

If you want to fight, you will fight!

At 7:15 p.m., the whistle began for the eighth round of the Premier League. As soon as it opened, Newcastle made a killer offer!

High pressing!

Regardless of the cost, at any cost, I would rather play less and more in the backfield, and still desperately pile up heads in the frontcourt!

The desperate style of play quickly aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd, and the Newcastle fans continued to release the restlessness in their bodies with wild roars like a group of fanatical believers performing sacrifices!

The guys who entrust all the beliefs of the fans seem to really have the protection of divine power, and after several waves of high-level group sieges, Arsenal's most stable link has made a mistake!

Vieira!

The 1 in the 4132 formation is the most demanding position in the overall situation, and if there had not been that fierce battle three days ago, the French would not have made a mistake as soon as they came up. Unfortunately, the slow entry into the state caused by fatigue cannot be compensated for by willpower, and even if you are aware of the problem, the body's reaction will still be slower.

In the 7th minute of the game, Newcastle made a successful steal in front, and after a few exquisite combinations in a row, Alan Shearer scored with a low shot!

The goal came so quickly that the Arsenal players were a little caught off guard.

As if they were accustomed to the mode of testing first and then exerting their strength, the opponent used a mad dog style kick to steal the rhythm as soon as he came up, leaving them in chaos before they even entered the state!

Thankfully, their manager, Arsène Arsène Wenger, has learned more than a little from the last game!

In the immediate aftermath of the conceded goal, the French were not as annoyed and angry as before, and after the thought went awry, the answer was already emerging.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and sufficient pre-game preparation allows the opponent to take the lead!

How similar it was to the last one!

How can the mistakes of the past be repeated?

"Sylvain retreats, assist Patrick!"

When the command was given, everyone was shocked, including Luther Gullit, who was standing not far away, and they all thought it was incredible!

Wiltord is the team's top scorer, scoring seven in seven league games, and that's when the gun is hot. Is it because you have conceded a goal and given up your strongest firepower point, preferring to stabilize the situation first than thinking about how to equalize?

It was rare for the Arsenal players to see the manager respond so quickly, and for a moment they were a little unaccustomed to it. Patrick Vieira, who had conceded the ball due to a mistake, was still a bit frustrated, and many turned their eyes to the other guy.

"Look at me hairy, I'm not the head coach!"

You Mo had long been paying attention to Wenger's every move, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart after hearing the order. Now I see that the guys are still a little hesitant, and if they don't roar, they are sorry for the two spectators in the stands.

The two guys who claimed to be looking for him to have a drink after the game, since they spent money to buy tickets to watch his game, they had to offer a battle of Mars hitting the earth with both hands!

But before that, you have to see the trick first and break the opponent's killer move!

The game continued.

The significance of the tactical adjustment soon became apparent.

Wiltord's retreat has not only brought more than just an increase in the number of ball points, in the entire Arsenal team, his foot skills are enough to rank in the top three, plus the flexibility brought by the small man is there, and it is called a "stable" with the ball!

No matter how crazy Newcastle are, they can't cover every corner of the pitch with their numerical advantage, and the ball doesn't move smoothly or lacks variation in the front court. There is a living example of Jume's place, and Wiltord chose to be good and not resentful of being too far from goal.

Like a top-heavy excavator, his cameo acts as a counterbalance, quickly making up for the weakness of being targeted by opponents and getting this massive machine running with a bang!

The opportunity was not long in coming!

Pressing in the high position is a double-edged sword, and everyone on Earth knows this. The individual quality of the Newcastle backline is not enough to have the upper hand against the likes of Pire, Ljungberg, Bergkamp and Thierry Henry one-on-one. If you can retreat in time after taking the lead, you will not be quickly broken through the defense, but the goal comes too fast, the home atmosphere is too good, and the team's momentum is too fierce, and you can't brake the car at all!

In the 13th minute, Wiltord got away with a juggling backheel knock and a through ball to Bergkamp, who paused in the middle.

The Dutchman's ability to simplify the complex is breathtaking, just taking a step to the right, and the big arc of his right foot is just stuck in the opponent's offside position, and falls into the space between the central defender and the wingback!

At this time, the ball was just over half, 40 meters away from the goal, and Henry, who had arrived on the horse, did not hesitate, took a step forward, and rode away!

Fast, what a quick word!

With no teammates to support and no teammates to provide support, the Frenchman is like a red lightning bolt that goes straight to the heart of the opponent!

The Newcastle centre-back quickly made up for it, Henry poked his toes, took a sharp step with his right foot, and overtook on the outside!

Fast, the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken!

The last central defender gave up the scramble and raced parallel to him, but the result was less than ten meters, and he was already more than a meter behind!

Fast, desperately fast!

All the way to the penalty area, the opponent's goalkeeper lowered his center of gravity to meet it, and when the shooting angle was only less than 45 degrees, the red lightning finally turned and moved laterally!

One step, one person flashed, two steps, adjusted the step point, three steps, the body was violently impacted, four steps, and a stab with the right foot before falling to the ground!

1：1！

The originally lively St. James's Stadium seemed to have been completely pierced by that red lightning, and everyone couldn't make any sound except for being stunned!

What the hell is this, is it still human?

How can you get rid of everyone in the blink of an eye and run to the finish line alone?

The end should be the bottom line, why turn around and look for those two ravaged guys?

It's been crushed by the speed once, and then the technology crushes one, and the body crushes one?

It's horrible!

"Holy! One to three, what the hell, such a long distance, one to three? ”

Fan Zhiyi smashed his fist on his thigh, and spit flew with excitement.

Sun Jihai, like the audience around him, has not recovered from his surprise, just staring at the ball in the net, trying to remember what happened before.

"Arsene Wenger's face is going to be smiling, good deal, what a good deal!" Fan Zhiyi didn't like the one-man show, and pointed to the big screen on the scene, "Look carefully, his movements, in addition to being fast, are amazingly reasonable!" ”

Sun Jihai finally came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Yes, I don't give you any time to react at all, you can only chase it by instinct, and all the actions are subconscious...... No wonder Wenger pulled Wiltord back, and Henry went up as a single striker, it turned out that he had been prepared for a long time! (To be continued.) )
