Chapter 280: Owen's hat-trick

Another substitution?

The fourth official on the sidelines once again generously and tragically held up the electronic signboard for substitutions in more than 30,000 pairs of incredible eyes - No. 10 Robbie Keane!

No. 5 Michael Dawson down!

With a striker replacing a centre-back, Tottenham Hotspur's on-pitch formation changed to 3-1-3-3, and Dutch coach Martin Joel's courage once again won the applause of the Tottenham fans in the stands, although these fanatical fans themselves were a little incomprehensible to Martin Joel's substitution............ In fact, put yourself in the position of the head coach and think about it, Martin Joel's decision has his own difficulties - the first half has been two goals behind, and the team's back line is difficult to rely on under the destruction of Owen Turner, if you want to recover the score only to strengthen the attack, in this situation there is any other choice but to change the striker?

The only amazing thing is that the two substitutions of the Dutch coach are too early, 35 minutes into the game, Tottenham has used up 2 substitutions, and even the stuffy man Li Tongfan has to give a thumbs up: Martin Joel, the real Warriors also ...... the tactical changes of the "Warriors" finally worked this time - Dimitar Berbatov was in the middle, Darren Bent and Robbie Keane roamed on both sides, and the powerful attacking power of the three forwards finally made Newcastle's backline a little difficult to parry!

You must know that Steven Taylor's ability has improved by leaps and bounds under Li Tongfan's "modification", after all, he is not strong enough to become a superman who can incarnate outside the body, and it is obviously not enough to fight three with one against three!

In the 38th minute, the White Hart Lane Stadium finally ushered in a huge cheer - German teenager Kevin Boateng staggered to hand the football to Luka Modric under the harassment of Joey Barton!

Once again, the Croatian danced the ball with a series of butterfly-like feints that shook off James Milner's defence, and then sent the ball to the right of the Newcastle defence with an imaginative pass to the west...... The ball raced through gaps in the Magpies centre-back David Lozehar and right wing-back Charles N'Sobia and landed at the feet of Darren Bent, who was cutting in at high speed along the touchline!

Bent, who has always been very alone, did not rush into the effort, and was very smart to get up and rub his left foot for the first time...... So, a white parabola emerged from the feet of the Tottenham striker and flew directly into the Newcastle penalty area!

In the box, Steven Taylor and Berbatov tangled together, while David Lozehar was visibly too slow to turn and froze in place like a stake...... Tottenham's chance!

On the line of the six-yard box, Tottenham Hotspur centre-forward Robbie Keane, who had just come on as a substitute, jumped high and slammed into the goal almost without any interference from defenders...... Bang!

The soccer ball hit the crossbar of the goal like a cannonball and bounced out again!

Mistaken?

Tottenham fans in the stands closest to the goal could hear the crossbar trembling and humming like a wailing sound...... The bouncing ball fell at the feet of Magpies centre-back Lozehar, who finally turned back!

The Czechs were like elks with lions, and in a panic, they kicked the football out of the bottom line...... Forcing ~~~ The whistle blows, and Tottenham Hotspur gets a corner kick on the right side!

It was the best chance Tottenham have had since the break!

Irishman Robbie Keane, who missed the opportunity, rubbed his short hair in regret and rushed on the bench to prevent him from getting a full warm-up, if he had changed to his previous ...... Just when Keane was annoyed, the reactions of the fans on both sides in the stands contrasted - woo~~- This is a trembling exclamation!

Smack-smack-smack-smack!!

-- This is the applause of lightning and thunder!

Tottenham Hotspur fans and Magpies fans hit the goal with Robbie Keane's header, and once again made the most direct contest in their own way!

Unfortunately, it was Newcastle's side that lost - because of the sheer superiority in numbers, the applause of the Tottenham fans who stood up for this dangerous attack effortlessly drowned out the exclamations of a handful of 'magpies' with all their might...... On the field!

The game continues!

Tottenham's corner is taken!

Luka Modric sent the ball to the penalty spot with an accurate curling shot, but the soaring Tottenham captain Ledley King couldn't grab the first point, and Rio Ferdinand's soul-possessed "Little Superman" Steven Taylor rose from the ground to clear the ball...... This time, it was Tottenham fans' turn to exclaim and Magpies fans applauded!

“…… Steven Taylor turned Tottenham Hotspur's nemesis, the 22-year-old Newcastle youngster disrupted Tottenham's effective attacking ...... on multiple occasions" Determined Lee Black commentator Mike Donald rubbed his big nose and lamented: "Hell, gotta let this excited big man go for a post-match urine ......"

On the sidelines!

As the situation changed, Martin Joel's furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed...... And Li Tongfan's expression is a little serious!

I have to admit that Martin Joel is indeed a very bold and thoughtful manager! It took just 30 minutes for the Dutch head coach to get Newcastle's lifeblood - if his first substitution was a passive reinforcement of attack due to the unfavourable situation on the surface, then the second bold substitution of Robbie Keane was a complete finding of a way to break Newcastle's pressure!

Because, although the data analysis and advice given by Lee Tong-fan to the Magpies players before the game can help the hammers suppress the Tottenham players in terms of reaction speed and habitual movements, when Tottenham Hotspur's attack becomes sharper and sharper, and the impact exceeds a certain limit, even if you know the opponent's habitual movements in advance, it will become powerless in the confrontation...... For example, the original Newcastle was like a leaky "broken bucket"!

Before this game, although Li Tongfan, a clever "carpenter", rescued and repaired it in a short period of time, barely greatly enhanced the water storage capacity of the "broken barrel", but in essence, it was still a "broken barrel...... Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur's ability to "fill water" exceeds the capacity of "broken barrels", eventually the water will still overflow...... Unless Lee Tong-fan is given enough time to remake a brand-new wooden barrel, the problem can be solved fundamentally!

And now the problem is that Martin Joel has decisively increased Tottenham's "water injection capacity", and Lee Tong-fan does not have enough time to build a new barrel to come out!

So, what should come is still coming!

Although Newcastle struggled to survive Tottenham's first two attacks, in the 44th minute of the first half, the "water" finally overflowed from the hastily repaired "broken barrel...... In the 44th minute, Tottenham finally broke through the Newcastle goal of Given's handle - another Luka Modric performance!

After receiving the ball from the middle circle, the Croatian teenager did not follow his habit to divide the ball at the first time, but chose to unexpectedly continue to dribble, and after breaking through the pull and pressure of the Newcastle defenders all the way, he rushed to the right side of the Magpies' penalty area!

That's where Modric's cleverness comes in!

Because the Croatian striker found that when he played in the most familiar way before, he would always be suppressed by the opponent first, so the clever Modric had an idea and chose to use unconventional methods to solve the problem!

Players who can use their brains to kick a ball are scary!

Therefore, the sudden change in Modric easily deceived the Newcastle players who gradually became dependent on the information given by Lee Tong-beom!

The opportunity came so naturally!

After successfully disrupting Newcastle's defensive system, Modric shook in place on the right side of the penalty area and easily shook Magpies full-back Charles Nzogbia's nose and eyes...... Then a quick right-footed mowing cross to the ground...... In the Forbidden Zone!

Ghostly appearance near the Newcastle penalty spot Bulgarian "dashing" Berbatov "dashing" instep shot...... The football "dashed" past goalkeeper Given, who struggled to make a save...... Then he slowly fell into the goal "in style...... A shot that was chic from start to finish!

1:2!

Tottenham Hotspur finally pulled a goal back!

“…… yes!! yes…… yes!!!! Luka Modric's magician-like performance toyed with Newcastle's entire backline, while Dimitar Berbatov showed the Magpies what a truly elegant shot looks like!! ”

Mike Donald finally found an opportunity to vent his frustration at the madman Lee who had been in control of the situation on the field, and he was a little unscrupulous like a special patient who had just run out of the psychiatric hospital on United Defence Road in North London: "...... goooooooal~~~~~ this is just the beginning, hahaha, disaster is coming to Newcastle......"

And with Donald's wanton roar, White Hart Lane Stadium broke out!

Thunderous applause!

Cheers!!

Jumping like a galloping horse!!

Martin Joel also jumped up with his fist on the sidelines in excitement!

At this time, the broadcast camera was very gossip and quickly aimed at the madman Lee, and the mischievous announcer wanted to find out the angry or helpless expression on the face of the popular coach for the first time, but ...... Lee Tong-beom made a gesture of recovering the defense very calmly...... Reclaim!

With less than three minutes left in the first half plus injury time, let's make the north Londoners happy for a while!

Very afraid of love, the gesture of the boss Li Tongfan made the Newcastle attacking maniacs obediently return to their own side in the second half to participate in the defense. Flash killer Michael Irving leads by example and uses himself as a defensive midfielder...... Three minutes later!

Force~~~~ Referee Willy blew the whistle for the end of the game unhurriedly!

The first half of the game is over!

###十五分钟之后, the second half of the game begins!

Although the night breeze in North London is still cold, the endless and annoying drizzle has finally stopped!

At the beginning of the game, people were surprised to find that Newcastle coach Maniac Lee also changed two people in one go - No. 11 winger Duff and No. 5 midfielder Emre up!

No. 4 centre-back David Lozehar is on, and No. 36 striker Viduka is on!

In this way, Newcastle's formation has also become 3-4-3! In the first half of the game, Martin Joel was imitating the formation of Crazy Lee, but in the second half, Crazy Lee learned Martin Joel's tactical arrangement!

“…… Haha, the madman who was forced to rush out of the ......" Mike Donald mocked in a weird way: "...... Newcastle, with a back four, have already breached Berbatov once, so is he arrogant enough to think that replacing a defender can freeze Tottenham's forward crowd? A despicable imitation, haha......"

This is an undisguised bias to the surname commentary!

It is worth mentioning that such explanations can actually be heard in the relatively relaxed environment of the Premier League!

However, even so, a handful of Newcastle fans in the North Stand raised their eyebrows angrily in the direction of the commentary booth and raised 2,351 middle fingers with white flowers and body hair............ On the field!

The game continues!

For the time being, it seems that after the substitution, Newcastle not only did not return to the situation, but encountered danger repeatedly! If it weren't for Ireland international Given's outstanding performance, it is estimated that Tottenham fans would have found another opportunity to cheer!

Is it really a gambled and useless substitution?

The camera is on the madman Lee!

Li Tongfan was pulling the anxious assistant coach Shearer to talk and laugh, not paying attention to the game on the field at all!

…… On the sidelines!

Alan Shearer rubbed his already bald head, absentmindedly and perfunctorily muffled the man, when he saw that in the penalty area, Given's suckling strength once again narrowly saved Robbie Keane's goal-grabbing shot...... The assistant coach finally couldn't help it and tried to suggest, "Lee, hmm...... Well, isn't it a temporary recovery of defense......"

After the start of the second half, Newcastle reverted to the fierce attack stage like dozens of minutes before the first half!

Who knew that Li Tongfan smiled mysteriously: "Alan, don't worry, the uncle opposite is going to cry in a while......"

Lao Li's finger pointed at Martin Joel standing in front of Tottenham's command seat, with a silver face!

Big...... Uncle?

If that guy is an uncle, then wouldn't I also step into the ranks of uncles?

Alan Shearer looked at Martin Joel, who was not much older than himself, with a black line in his head!

…… In fact, Li Tongfan is very confident in his substitution!

It's simple!

Although Martin Joel boldly replaced Robbie Keane in the first half and increased Tottenham's "water injection", and soon broke the capacity of Newcastle's "broken barrel" and helped Tottenham gain the advantage on the field, but ...... But the drawbacks of such substitutions are just as obvious - sacrificing Tottenham's defensive ability!

It's a bastard if you don't take advantage of it!

So the stuffy man did not hesitate to make the same choice as Martin Joel - since the defense can't be defended, then Lao Tzu will specifically hit your weaknesses and "attack" you with endless attacks!

Among the two new players, the Turkish genius Emre, who once played for Serie A giants Inter Milan, belongs to the kind of player with super creativity and ball control, Lao Li asked him to play the role of Modric in the Tottenham team, injecting imagination into the Newcastle midfield, so that the Magpies' midfield can create more shooting opportunities for the "Owen"!

Although Viduka, known as the "Australian rhinoceros", is over 30 years old, the evaluation of the [strong] value of 20 and the [bounce] value of 16 in the FM2008 system makes Viduka's physical strength not inferior to the Premier League monster Drogba!

Li Tongfan is to use the body of the "Australian rhinoceros" to make his most savage and violent way to impact Tottenham's three-man back line and create a crisis!

A two-pronged approach!

…… On the field!

Newcastle quickly counter-attacked after faltering to fend off Tottenham Hotspur's attack!

Emre's possession of the ball largely distracted Alan Smith from the pressure, with the Turk's lethal pass from the edge of the Tottenham penalty area sending the hearts of Tottenham fans in the stands shudder!

More than 20 minutes before the second half, the Magpies and Tottenham went back and forth, playing offensive football! The fans were thrilled and their hearts were covered with their hands...... Who will seize the opportunity first?

In the 75th minute, the killing machine came again!

The two men that Crazy Lee brought on in midfield played a crucial role in this attack for Newcastle!

After Joey Barton's backfield pass was at the feet of Alan Smith, Smith, who was on the wing, jumped up slightly and knocked his feet on a bizarre back-heel kick in mid-air ten centimeters above the ground...... It's so sudden!!

Tottenham full-back Lee Young-pyo, who defended Alan Smith, was dumbfounded!

Koreans never thought that Newcastle with well-developed limbs and a simple mind could play such a delicate little trick...... This sudden pass made the offensive and defensive rhythm on the pitch instantly faster!

Alan Smith's pass was answered by Emre Turkey's genius, who picked up the outside of his instep as he ran, with a casual flick of the outside...... Another juggling pass!!

This time it was Tottenham's only defender O'Hara who was dumbfounded!

White Hart Lane newcomer Wang's menacing scramble only harvested a cloud of surprise, and the football mischievously flew high into the Tottenham penalty area!

Centre-back Ledley King wants to control the first drop!

But the Tottenham captain moved a step and then installed an "iron wall" - the Australian rhinoceros Viduka stuck in the best position and carried Ledley King to unload the football!

Ledley King pushed?

Can't push!

Drag?

Can't pull it open!

Viduka stands firmly on the edge of Tottenham's six-yard penalty area like a root!

After fending off the Tottenham captain's counter-attack, the Australian Rhino showed his delicate foot skills - his body bounced to the right and was about to turn, but the football under his feet was firmly sent to the left side of his body...... Where is it?

Michael Owen!!

Bang!

Before everyone could react, the crisp sound of the instep hitting the football exploded on the White Hart Lane Stadium!

It was an unreasonable shot!

Fast! Heavy!! Vicious!!! Permit!!!!

Whoosh~~ Football hangs the wind!

Opposite side!

Paul Robinson, who had a good performance, defeated Irving for the third time in this game! And after the shot, Owen didn't even wait for the ball to cross the goal line, and began to turn and run towards the coach's box...... Because, the guy he wanted to thank was laughing with Hiller on the sidelines!

3:1!

Hat-trick!

Tottenham Hotspur, who had just chased the score, suffered a blow to the head!

Michael Owen, who has returned from the king, shot three times in different ways, like three cold and shining steel knives, and the knives are deadly!

This time, more than 30,000 mouths of Tottenham fans had to stop their arrogant boos, and the 2,000 Magpies fans who had been suppressed by them for most of the half finally showed the whole of England their own energy with loud singing at White Hart Lane for the first time!

For the first time, the performance of 2,000 people suppressed 30,000 opponents!

…… With less than 20 minutes to go, Tottenham look powerless! The Tottenham players after the restart looked very impatient!

Because in the other game of this round at the same time, the Red Devils Manchester United, who were originally fifth in the table, have a four-goal lead over their opponents, and if they lose this game, Tottenham will fall out of the top four in the standings!
