A game on a rainy day is not a good thing for both sides.

Of course it's good for some teams and bad for some teams. Newcastle's players are uncomfortable, and even more so technical players like Solano. West Ham are familiar with Upton Park and are used to this kind of rainy weather in London all year round.

Coupled with West Ham's style of play, it is more advantageous than Newcastle.

But the game on a rainy day wasn't very pretty. There are a lot of passing errors because it's hard for them to get the ball right, so it's easy to make mistakes. Either it's big, or it's small.

And there are more physical confrontations in rainy games. Of course, a lot of physical confrontation on rainy days is because the car can't be stopped. It's like tackling a player easily.

Therefore, the requirements for referees are also relatively high.

Jack had to tell if he was involuntarily slipping over. When it was still tackle, he deliberately went up to shovel people. It's not that easy to judge. Even the playback may not be judged.

"The turf is too slippery and it has a big impact on both sides. However, judging from the game, it has the biggest impact on Newcastle. Newcastle were completely unable to play to their strengths. ”

Be.

Newcastle's players are very aggrieved. Although they are an English team, they are used to rainy days. But the rain has an effect on them after all. West Ham, on the other hand, are at home, and they are more familiar with their home stadium and are more accustomed to the rainy weather now.

Bobby Robson frowned on the sidelines.

Originally, this was the game that Newcastle were prepared to win. West Ham United have performed well in recent seasons and can be regarded as a strong team in the middle of the stream. However, this season's West Ham United is completely incomparable to last season.

Frank Lampard moved to Chelsea, Redknapp was very much against it, but still made a move to Chelsea. In addition to this thing, there are some other problems. As a result, the team's head coach Redknapp and the West Ham United hierarchy have a big conflict. This has led to West Ham's poor results this season.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Newcastle are looking to get the three points.

But it's a damn rainy day.

It has greatly reduced Newcastle's combat effectiveness.

"Speed, Speed broke Carrick's ball. It was a counter-attacking opportunity, a good opportunity for Newcastle. ”

Because it was a rainy game, the game was not pretty. Newcastle are strong, but their strength is somewhat discounted. West Ham United are weak, but they have the advantage on the pitch thanks to the advantage of home and rainy weather.

West Ham United, while dominant, did not create any lethal chances.

So seeing that Newcastle suddenly had a chance, and it was directly broken by the ball at the back, the commentator was a little excited. If the game continues to be so ugly, the commentator is the most difficult to explain. Luckily, there was a good opportunity.

"Speed, he didn't dribble the ball, Speed passed...... Solano, Solano, nice straight stopper! ”

Solano, a South American player, especially known for his skill at his feet, hated the rain the most. But his basic skills are good after all, and his ability to receive and control the ball is still very good.

What affected him the most was the breakthrough, but also the passing. Because the court was so slippery, it was difficult for him to grasp the strength of the ball.

But this time it's very good. After a period of adaptation, Solano slowly mastered his strength.

Solano saw a gap, a very small gap. He also had a good grasp of the passing power this time, a very beautiful through ball, which was to find a gap in the West Ham United defence.

"Shearer, Shearer activated. The young Rio Ferdinand lost his position and Shearer was a beautiful counter-offside. ”

Rio Ferdinand, a rising centre-back in English football.

Good technique, good awareness, even good passing. English football has not seen a centre-back of Rio Ferdinand's for many years, so he is now highly regarded in English football.

It's a pity that Ferdinand is only twenty-two years old now.

Twenty-two is definitely very young for a centre-back. He hasn't reached his peak yet, as the 22-year-old Ferdinand is still a lot less experienced.

That's true.

In the duel with Shearer, Ferdinand was defeated. Shearer judged his team-mate's intentions earlier than Rio Ferdinand and found the ball earlier.

So he quickly got rid of Ferdinand.

At a young age, Shearer was a very explosive center, and even the sprint speed of short distances was not slow. However, he has been plagued by injuries in recent years, which has also affected his speed.

Explosiveness is also affected.

So although he got rid of Ferdinand, Ferdinand quickly caught up. Seeing that Ferdinand was fast, Shearer did not continue to move forward and shot straight at goal.

Don't look a little away from goal, but Shearer has absolute confidence in his shot. Such distance, such weather, as long as it doesn't hit the goalkeeper, it will definitely be able to score.

"Shearer, Shearer shoots...... Shearer, fell. ”

But many times there are accidents.

Shearer had already made a shot, but before he could do it, he himself fell. Seeing Shearer fall, Ferdinand in the back immediately raised his hands.

Jack had been following the ball, so it was very close to the scene of the incident.

Seeing Jack running over, Ferdinand immediately spread his hands and said, "I didn't foul, I didn't touch him." He fell to the ground on his own. ”

Nervous, really nervous.

I couldn't help but be nervous about Ferdinand. The man who has fallen now is Shearer, the big man in English football at the moment, the real big man. And Shearer is not usually a player who likes to fake falls, of course, it doesn't mean that Shearer doesn't fake falls. Shearer also had fake falls in his career.

But it is precisely because Shearer does not usually like to fake falls, coupled with his status in English football, if he fakes a fall at a certain moment, then the unlucky can only be the defender. Referees, when they are ambiguous, often choose to trust superstars.

Not to mention a small defender like Rio Ferdinand, even if the entire West Ham United players combined, there is no Shearer's status in English football. If it is determined that Ferdinand has committed a foul, then Ferdinand will be red and Newcastle will be awarded a penalty.

However, Jack did not pay attention to Ferdinand's explanation, and went directly to Shearer's side.

Jack saw the ball very clearly.

It wasn't Ferdinand's foul, but it wasn't Shearer's fake fall either. Shearer didn't control his body when he was about to shoot hard. In addition, the field was slippery, and the supporting feet were not stable, so they fell to the ground.

Jack's concern is not the question of whether to fake a fall or not.

It's Shearer's physical problems.

"Alain, how are you?"

Jack was in charge of Newcastle two years ago. Although he is not very familiar with Shearer, he can be regarded as acquaintances. So I stepped forward and asked Shearer. Shearer didn't speak, frowning and shaking his head.

"Team doctor, let the team doctor in."

Jack beckoned to the sidelines and told the team doctor to hurry in. Shearer's health is not very good, and he has been injured several times in the past few years. If it weren't for the injury, Shearer's deterrent could have doubled.

Seeing the team doctor come in, Jack turned his head to see an anxious Ferdinand.

"It's not your foul, it's not Shearer's fake fall."

Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief. Ferdinand was nervous for a long time, afraid that Jack would say it was his foul. Rio Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief, but Newcastle manager Bobby Robson was nervous.

Shearer, this is Newcastle's nuclear weapon.

Shearer has been the Premier League's best centre-forward since its inception. No one can compare to Shearer. At his peak, Shearer was invincible in the Premier League. He has scored more than 30 Premier League goals in three consecutive seasons and has been the top scorer in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons.

There was no striker in the Premier League at the time who could match Shearer.

It's a pity that Shearer was suddenly injured in recent years, interrupting his peak performance. But even after the injury, Shearer is still Newcastle's biggest weapon and one of the best centre-forwards in the Premier League.

Newcastle's results this season are good, and Shearer's injury at this time is too big a blow to Newcastle.

'The team doctor made a substitution gesture and it seems that Shearer's injury is not optimistic. From the replay, it can be seen that Shearer fell to the ground on his own. For players, there is no big problem except for pain. On the contrary, this kind of injury without a violent collision can be serious. ”

Very serious.

The team doctor had a solemn expression and told Bobby Robson that he wanted to make a substitution.

"Damn."

The rain in this game had already made him angry, but he didn't expect to hurt another general. is not an ordinary general, he is Newcastle's number one general.

"Really."

Looking at Shearer, who was sitting on a stretcher and leaving the field, Jack also shook his head. When Jack was in secondary school, it was when Shearer was making his mark in English football. By the time Jack went to university, Shearer was already in the Premier League.

Especially in Euro 96, Shearer performed well and won a good result for England.

At that time, Shearer was also everyone's idol.

Pity.

Although Jack is not a doctor, he also knows that Shearer's injury is definitely not a minor injury. Although it is easy to get injured in the rain, Shearer's injury was definitely an accidental injury.
