Viduka followed teammate Butt and followed the referee to shake hands with the Leeds United players.
After shaking hands with the referee team headed by Walton, Viduka was about to shake hands with Smith. But before that, Bart had a few words with the Leeds United captain, so it was a little slow.
"This damn handshake!" Viduka said to himself.
He will always remember that time after Leeds United won a match against his own team, the badass manager asked the Leeds United players to come to him one after another to shake hands.
"Alan probably won't give me a good look." Viduka thought again. After all, the captain of Leeds United is famous for his bad temper and is not someone to be trifled with.
Bart finally finished talking to Smith. Although it didn't take long, Viduka felt like he had been waiting for half a century.
After shaking hands with Smith, there were still 10 Leeds United players who wanted to shake hands with him, and Viduka felt uncomfortable.
"I'm going to give you a good look later..." Viduka didn't dare to look at Smith at all. He lowered his head and thought about shaking hands all the way, and then giving Leeds United a good look during the game.
However, Smith interrupted Viduka's thinking.
"Mark, come on soon!" Smith suddenly said to Viduka, with a smile on his face.
However, in Viduka's opinion, this smile did not look like a polite smile, and he must have some bad intentions.
Without stopping, Viduka immediately came to Van der Sar before he could figure out what Smith meant.
"Come on!" Van der Sar took the initiative to lean into Viduka's ear and said, also with a bright smile on his face.
Viduka no longer understood what the other party meant. They all smiled and said kind words to themselves, with smiles on their faces.
Baines, Albuchesson, Barry, Parker, Sneijder, Robben, Granqvist, Kuyt, until the last Charlotte Black did not speak to Viduka, or even smile. nothing.
Viduka also noticed this different young man and was stunned for a moment.
"This is Leeds United's relative, the brother of that damn head coach and actress, watch how I beat you later..."
Viduka felt a slight pain in his hands, and then realized that the other guy shook hands with a little too much force.
When he reacted, the other party immediately broke away from Viduka's hand and held hands with Owen behind Viduka.
"A bunch of bastards..."
Viduka ended his handshakes with the Leeds United team and came to his own half.
At the same time, he looked up at the Leeds United dugout.
There, someone was also staring at Viduka, and he wasn't alone.
^^^
In the 9th minute of the game, Newcastle's Owen received a pass from his midfielder teammate, Cameroonian Gremi, in the frontcourt, preparing to beat Baines alone.
But Baines followed the former England "golden boy" closely at a speed that was not much slower than Owen, and did not give Owen any chance.
It's not that Baynes is so fast, but that Irving no longer has the feeling of a young man chasing the wind.
After two attempts, the ball could only be passed to Viduka who followed up in the middle.
The Australian leaned on Granqvist, hoping to lean on his opponent and then try to hit the goal or hold the ball.
But the constant force coming from behind prevented Viduka from making various movements.
In the end, under Granqvist's endless interference, Viduka could only try a kick.
The ball rolled slowly in front of Van der Sar. Van der Sar performed a standard squat and hugged the ball, holding the ball tightly in his arms.
Seeing this shot, the Leeds United fans at the scene gave Viduka endless boos.
For the players who used to be part of the Japanese team, they are now on other teams. Regardless of the reason, fans will call such players "traitors."
What's more, this "traitor" always criticizes the team's current head coach.
Can this be tolerated?
After finally seizing the opportunity, they started booing Viduka non-stop.
Because this is one of the few opportunities for Viduka to get the ball in the first 10 minutes.
In other words, the chance of touching the ball is more suitable.
As soon as the game started, Leeds United launched a fierce attack on Newcastle.
Newcastle placed five defenders in their own half today, and even the three midfielders Butt, Gremi and Faye were not good at attacking.
Therefore, Newcastle can only rely on counterattacks to properly resist.
The reason why Van der Sar had to make a standard hug when facing the slow ball was because he felt like he would catch a cold if he didn't move.
George Lee did not send in Matteisen as expected, but put in two tall center backs to fight Viduka hand-to-hand.
As for Irving, George Li didn’t take it to heart at all.
After listening to the first few rounds of introductions by Chris Kasper, Lee George saw that Newcastle's current lineup can only score goals by counterattacking.
If this is the case, then I will suppress you and hit you so hard that you won't even have a chance to fight back.
Viduka's shot just now is a good proof.
Newcastle had Owen who took the ball from the wing and Viduka who stepped in. Others did not participate in the attack at all.
After passing the ball, Gremi stayed near the midfield, preparing for the next defense together with Bart and Faye.
The two full-backs who originally liked to get in the game completely stopped today.
Beyer on the right was okay, holding on to his position and able to parry against Smith and Baynes behind Smith.
But the Congolese-French player on the left, Charles N'Zogbia, suffered completely.
The 21-year-old offensive full-back was suppressed by Robben today and basically maintained a parallel position with the three central defenders of his team, not daring to take the lead at all.
Because just 3 minutes into the game, he and his teammate Steven Taylor blocked a breakthrough by Robben. As soon as he took the ball and prepared to participate in the attack, he ran into Charlotte Black behind Robben.
The so-called "connected person" in Viduka used a clean tackle to snatch the ball from N'Zogbia, and then used Robben's movement to the center to attract the defense and then directly hit the bottom.
After arriving near the baseline, just when everyone thought he was going to cross, Blake chose to hit the goal with the outside instep of his right foot.
The ball drew a strange arc and flew towards the door.
If Newcastle's goalkeeper Steve Harper hadn't stood relatively deep and stretched out his hand to destroy the ball before it flew into the goal, the ball might have actually been transferred to Black.
Everyone in Newcastle broke into a cold sweat.
In addition to the two wings, Leeds United's attack in the center was also full of firepower today. Sneijder and Smith, who leaned towards the center, repeatedly used long shots to threaten Newcastle's goal.
Even Parker had a shot that hit Newcastle's crossbar.
Although Newcastle had three central defenders today, due to Kuyt's constant running and pulling, Newcastle's head coach Adisler felt that there should even be 6 or 7 defenders.
Look at what your players are playing on the field.
In the 13th minute of the game, the ball belonged to Leeds United, and the battlefield was in Newcastle's half.
Smith was already preparing to shoot on the line of the penalty area, and his two central defenders Rojenal and Cacapa were actually brought to the far post by Kuyt.
Steven Taylor was about to fly to block the kick, and Nicky Butt was behind Smith.
But Smith didn't hit the goal, it was just a fake move.
The ball was given to Sneijder in the middle, and Faye stayed close to the Dutch midfielder.
It's just that Sneijder didn't want to catch the ball, but deftly missed it and passed it to Robben, who also cut from the wing to the center.
There are no Newcastle defensive players around Robben.
