Chapter 63: The Beginning of the Show (Part II)

Barton looked furious at this point, and he seemed to have made a small mistake at the moment, and as a result, the Leeds United kid was caught! whereas

The 1-1 score on the huge scoreboard above the stadium was a constant reminder to Barton that his mistakes had caused the situation.

"Listen, Andy, Ameobi, you're going to stick it up for me when that kid gets the ball in the opposing half," Barton said through gritted teeth at Andy Carroll and Delph.

"Is that the little man? But the coach's arrangement is," Andy asked, pointing to Delph at the far end.

"Now don't care what the boss says, just do what I say after kickoff, you know this is our home stadium, I want these guys to realize that St James' Park is not a place where any clown comes to perform" Andy Carroll and Ameobi looked at each other,

Although Hughes's request for the duo was to interfere with the opponent's central defenders receiving the ball as much as possible, Joey Barton's notoriety made the two youngsters choose to obey the arrangement of the big man on the field.

At this time, Michu was still immersed in the joy of the team's equalizer and did not notice Barton's reprimand, but this scene was keenly observed by Poyet, who poked Michu and asked him to see Barton's unusual behavior.

Mi Chu looked at Barton's vicious face, although he was a little puzzled, but he really didn't know what the other party was going to do, so he could only wait and see!

After the kick-off again, although Delph retreated to receive the ball deeply, as long as Delph got the ball, Andy Carroll or Ameobi in the front court would inevitably come forward to interfere, and Joey Barton would also make a timely scramble.

Unexpectedly, the head coach Hughes has not yet begun to deploy, Barton has already reacted, Michu looked at Hughes who was calm not far away, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised that Barton's adaptability was coming.

"Boy, think I don't know what's going on in your mind? But you're thinking too simply, I'll show you the strength of General Patton now" Barton yelled and rushed towards Delph, who saw that the two were about to wrap himself up, and properly handed the ball to Koscielny, who was not far away.

Then I'll show you how the monkey plays, and Delph was not to be outdone, obviously the equaliser gave the lad a lot of confidence.

After that, Delph kept moving back and forth looking for a chance to catch the ball, and Kilkenny's active retreat to catch the ball also made Barton have to be a little scared, although this kind of game similar to the circle grabbing in a training game seems simple, but if several people on the other side cooperate tacitly, Leeds United's backfield can be dangerous.

However, Andy Carroll's mobility was not strong after all, and he was afraid that head coach Hughes might blame himself for not carrying out his pre-game defensive duties well, so the double contact points of Delph and Kilkenny made Barton's several rebounds not have much effect.

Michu only relaxed a little when he saw this, "Boss, it seems that Delph is still very well adapted to the current position," Poyet obviously didn't expect that Delph, who had retreated to such a deep position, seemed to be more adaptable.

Watching Delph keep receiving the ball in the midfield, Michu also nodded with satisfaction, only if Delph can calmly take the ball in a very deep position in the backfield and turn around, the team can completely avoid the opponent's midfielder strangulation of Delph, and Kilkenny and Halson's midfield combination can effectively delay the opponent's attack when defending, although too deep may affect the team's attack, but looking at Joy Barton's impatient and angry face, Michu felt that he had really made a good move.

In the period since Leeds equalised, the team has rarely lost possession easily.

As Delph stepped in more frequently, Kilkenny and Holson also played a role in sharing the defensive responsibilities for the team's brains, and whenever one of them supported the front court, the other naturally stayed in the half to keep the team's lineup from being too unbalanced.

"Leeds United are trying a new formation on the field, although this is equivalent to overturning his pre-match deployment with his own hands for Coach Michu, but the effect looks good at the moment, I hope Leeds United can continue to maintain this momentum, otherwise the game may soon lose suspense" The on-site commentary did not forget to ridicule Michu's team when Newcastle United was at a disadvantage.

Michu saw that Newcastle coach Hughes was also standing on the sidelines not far away, shouting loudly from time to time for his players to defend, and the expression on his face was obviously a little dissatisfied, and the current balance of power may be a little different from what he thought before the game.

However, the Leeds United players don't care what the opposing coach thinks, and Delph's activity has also indirectly activated Reus and others on the wing, benefiting from the reduction of defensive pressure at the back, Ben Parker, who has been suppressed before, has also begun to press frequently, which is the best news for Reuss.

Whether it was Reus's combination with Parker, or Giroud's short pass penetration in the middle, Delph's penetration in the middle had a big impact on Newcastle's ribs.

After Reus once again beat Gutierrez and Nolan in a beautiful Marseille spin, the Leeds fans in attendance were finally able to sing the team's anthem loudly to cheer their players on.

However, the beautiful pass was preempted by Coloccini when Reus tried to link up with Giroud, and even then, Michel stood on the sidelines and gave Reus a thumbs up.

As time went on, despite the brilliance of Leeds' attack, Newcastle United also defended beautifully, and for a while, no one could pose a real threat.

Although Barton is extremely desperate, but after all, it is difficult to scream, but because of his reckless grabbing again and again, other teammates have to clean up the mess for him, Nolan has expressed his dissatisfaction with him several times, and these have made Barton's temper more and more irritable.

Seeing that the time is about to enter the second half, Michu hopes that the team will not make mistakes in this time period, after all, entering the second half with a draw score is the best thing for Leeds United.

"Little De! Little De! Michu shouted at Delph, hoping that the opponent could control the ball as much as possible, instead of rashly attacking and losing possession.

"Watch the ball! Slow down" Michu repeatedly pressed down with his palms, and Delph began to consciously slow down the pace of the game after seeing Michu's gestures.

"As the break approached and players from both sides were eager to rehydrate, Leeds were safely on their feet in their own half! Newcastle United are no longer as ferocious as before! The whistle in the middle of the field sounded! I hope that the second half of the game can add some fun to this boring opening game! ”

Before the referee blew the half-time whistle, Michu had already rushed to the direction of the dressing room, and Patton's expression had been observed by himself, and Michu felt that it was time to "indulge" General Patton's bad temper!
