After training for a period of time, Kyle Reese and Boyle often looked in the mirror and asked themselves.
Were they deceived by Lu Yang?
"Reese! Do you think you are a forward? Stand in your position! Defense, where is your defense?"
"Boyle, you're out of position again! No matter how fast you are, what's the use if you don't choose a good position?"
"Reese, who asked you to shoot! You are shooting indiscriminately! Didn't you see that Chiesa has a better position? Our shooting rights are not luxurious enough to be assigned to a full-back! Look at Lu's shot Is it as many times as you?"
"Boyle, pass the ball! You have brought enough, you have to pass the ball at the right time!"
"Oh my god! Your passing is really bad, you need to practice more! You must practice more! I don't ask you to watch people passing the ball, but I need to improve the arc and speed of your passing!"
"Remember your mission, you are just full-backs, not wingers! Your first choice is always pass, pass, pass!"
Flick shouted at the top of his lungs.
Reese and Boyle couldn't be more depressed.
Isn't this horse-riding man a pure full-back?
Where do these side fulcrums and side corridors come from?
Seeing that the two full-backs were not very interested, Lu Yang went over to chat with Flick.
In fact, Lu Yang didn't lie.
The team does have a tactical arrangement with two full-backs as the core of the offense.
But not now.
But in the future.
The team needs a period of time to adjust.
Now everyone is not fully integrated, and their understanding of the team's techniques and tactics is only superficial.
Letting the full-backs fly rashly at this time will expose a very big hole in the defense.
No matter how good Sasso and Deas are, it is impossible for two people to complete the defensive tasks of four people.
If you want the full-backs to take off, you need the two center backs and the defensive midfielder Tavares to cooperate perfectly with each other.
The current Newcastle obviously cannot meet this requirement.
But you can’t talk to young people about the future.
They've heard too much about the future, they just want the now.
Don't let them feel the thrill of taking off, and they will soon question the full-back position.
Although the head coach can suppress them, the team atmosphere will also be affected.
As a result, Newcastle's tactics changed in the next training match.
Bridge began to pass a lot of through balls to Boyle. Boyle went crazy and wasted a lot of opportunities with terrible crosses and cross passes.
After Boyle received intensive care, Bridge began to frequently transfer the football to Rees.
Reese stands alone on the right wing, has a very large space to receive the ball, and handles the environment very well after receiving the ball.
When he knew that he had many opportunities to fire near the right side of the penalty area, he was more willing to pass the ball.
Only players who are afraid that they will not have another chance to shoot will seize the right to shoot at any time.
After this training match, the other players on the main team played quite awkwardly.
But the two young full-backs were very happy.
This also gave Flick leverage.
Flick asked the two full-backs for additional training because of their poor passing, and began to focus on upgrading their crossing abilities and crossing options.
With the help of the Laura big data system, the two of them have made obvious progress.
Reese's arcing cross was better.
Boyle's ground cross is stronger.
Both of them are deeply optimizing in the areas they are better at.
During this time, big data analysis and reports on other players also came out.
Everyone took the report and compared it to make targeted reinforcements or excellence.
For a time, the entire Newcastle training base was brightly lit.
Players practice late every day.
Many times before dawn, players would come over for training.
Professional training with team guidance is really addictive.
Newcastle is doing this behind closed doors.
Because of the general environment, most teams have begun to play friendly matches at this time to determine the team's true state.
That is to say, Newcastle was too hasty and rejected invitations from many teams to avoid being beaten by others before the results were achieved in the training room.
They even turned down invitations from Chinese Super League teams.
News about friendly matches appear frequently.
"Domínguez fits seamlessly into the Blues!" Scored a hat-trick by kicking Rennes in a friendly match! 》
"Tesri went to the left to make way for Ram. Tesri claimed that he is willing to give everything for Chelsea and hopes that he can become the next Praxedes! 》

"Perrotta and Aveiro had a chemical reaction. They scored five goals in two games. The Wolf King is well-deserved!" 》
"Apare has become the gatekeeper of Manchester United's defense, and Dalicht scrambles in front of the goal to keep the goal! 》
In contrast, there was no movement on Newcastle's side, which had to worry the fans.
But Newcastle has no shortage of traffic.
All they lack is things.
Starting on August 23, the media has been warming up for Newcastle's first game of the new season.
"UEFA Cup play-offs!" Newcastle's first game of the new season! 》
"What is the UEFA Cup?" The first one this year is of special significance! 》
"Newcastle is not doing its job properly and is participating in third-rate events! 》
"The opponent of Newka from the bottom is Tallinn Spring God!" This is a small team from Estonia. One Lu Yang can buy Tallinn Spring God dozens of times! 》
"After watching the Tallinn Spring God game, I am worried about whether Newcastle can win! 》
"If they can't even win against Tallinn Spring Gods, Newcastle won't have to mess around in the Premier League. 》
"Last season, Lu Yang led Real Madrid to create the only three-tier unbeaten record in European history in a single season. Will he lead Newcastle to a winless Premier League season this season? 》
It can be seen that people are not interested in the game between Newcastle United and Tallinn Spring God.
But that doesn't stop everyone from mocking Newcastle through this incident.
Newcastle don't even dare to play warm-up matches, isn't it because they are afraid that people will know that their level is too low?
"Sky Sports" even used its influence in the Premier League to dig up some exciting information.
"Sky Sports": "Even if Lu Yang opens his mouth, Newcastle is still in short supply of players. In order to fill in the full-backs, they let the substitute winger act as a fire-fighting full-back!"
"Many people may remember Newcastle right back Rees. This player who has played as a forward since he was a child and once joined England U17, switched to right back under Flick's persuasion!"
"Misleading! In the same situation is the Canadian Boyle, who went to left back!"
"Home Alone? The American teenager Bridge has become the core of Newcastle's frontcourt attack. This is really ridiculous! Can three to four million buy a Premier League-level offensive core? Don't even think about it! This is an unexpected place!"
"Sauber plays as an attacking midfielder? No...Sauber has never had the talent to play as an attacking midfielder! Teams such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Stoke City have tried all possibilities, and the answer is NO!"
Sky Sports has pushed Newcastle's popularity to its peak.
Until the start of the UEFA Europa League play-off matches.
…
"Hello everyone, I'm your good friend Luo Cheng. Welcome everyone to watch this UEFA Cup play-off match!" Luo Cheng talked in front of the TV, "I want to tell you some good news. China Television's five sets have won this year's European Cup. Broadcasting rights for all Confederation Cup games.”
"So this year we can watch the Newcastle game without missing a beat!"
"Of course, that's if Newcastle win the play-offs."
"I know some people are worried about Newcastle's current state. Although Tallinn Spring Shen is a small team, they are mature after all, and Newcastle has just been reorganized this summer. There is no relationship between players, players and tactics. Completely familiar.”
"So the outcome of this game is hard to say!"
"In addition, I would like to introduce to you my partner. He and I will work together to provide commentary on the UEFA Cup in the future...Miao Jikun!"
Miao Jikun is also a familiar commentator, having commented on several Lu Yang games before.
He has gradually become an Internet celebrity commentator because he has multiple accounts with more than 200,000 fans on the "Crackling Video Website".
The content of the accounts he created for "Northern Hemisphere Saoke" and "Chicken Miao Master" have been well received by many fans.
Luo Cheng: "Next, please invite Miao Jikun to introduce the lineup of Tallin Spring God to us."
Miao Jikun: "..."
Let me introduce Nima!
Before this competition, I didn’t even know Estonia existed!
Luo Cheng: "Okay, it seems that Teacher Miao is still a little excited. It is understandable. I said before that it was the same when I entered a competition that attracted a lot of attention. Young people, it is understandable that the preparations are not sufficient, so let me do it first. Let me give you an interpretation of Newcastle’s lineup.”
Miao Jikun is so angry!
Can't you tell who is riding the horse in Newcastle?
I know it by heart!
"Today Newcastle deployed a 4231 formation."
"Manjujovic single center forward."
"Bridge, Sauber, and Chiesa are the left midfielder, attacking midfielder, and right midfielder respectively."
"Of course, someone previously revealed that Sauber plays as a shadow forward, and his position is further forward. As for whether Sauber plays as a midfielder or a shadow forward, we can see it in the actual game."
"Double defensive midfielders Lu Yang and Tavares."
"But fans who are familiar with Lu Yang should know that his position is not limited to the midfielder. Don't be surprised if he appears in the frontcourt or even in the penalty area."
"On the back line, Newcastle sent out Canadian sprinter Boyle, the worst central defender in the history of the Portuguese national team Deas, the only short central defender no one wanted in the Brazilian national team Sasso, Newcastle youth training right Forward Kyle Reese.”
The four players on the back line seemed to sense it.
Listen to me, thank you!
Your introduction is so good!
"The goalkeeper is Amelucci, the best goalkeeper in the World Cup. He just ended his life..."
As the commentary began, the game slowly began.
Players from both sides began to compete with each other on the court.
In the first five minutes, the players of Tallinn Spring God were very morale.
This is their rare opportunity to enter the European competition.
And the opponent is "Jinyuan Magpie".
If he is worth less than 10 million, he can defeat Newcastle, whose total roster value exceeds 300 million euros.
It’s hard for the players of Tallinn Spring God not to become popular.
With the blessing of this power, in the first ten minutes, Tallinn Spring God actually played against Newcastle.
In the tenth minute, taking advantage of a dead ball, Lu Yang communicated with his teammates.
"Pressure! Pressure! Everyone run!"
Lu Yang gave the signal to attack.
The first ten minutes are time for Lu Yang and Flick to allow the young people on the team to adapt.
Familiar with football.
He is also familiar with the stadium environment.
In ten minutes, they will start running tactics.
And Newcastle's tactics are...
Two sections of defense.
The so-called two stages, the first stage is the high position pressing.
Once Newcastle loses the ball, the frontcourt players must counterattack on the spot.
The midfielder needs to make judgments. If the opponent is not in a hurry to counterattack, the midfielder will participate in the frontcourt press.
If the opponent immediately launches a counterattack, then it is the second stage of defense - the entire army returns to defense.
Except for Manjujovic who can be a little slower, all the players in the frontcourt must come back to participate in defense.
But this return to defense is not just a return to defense.
When the opponent approaches the offensive third, the backcourt players must change their rhythm and take the initiative to delay the opponent's attack and keep the danger outside the penalty area.
The advantage of this is that it allows the midfielder and frontcourt players to take a few fewer steps to return to defense and form a flanking attack. It also makes full use of the physical strength of the backcourt players and saves the physical strength of the midfielder and frontcourt players.
The less runs you make once you return to defense, the more you can count in a game.
Moreover, a sudden attack in the backcourt makes it easier to disrupt the opponent's offensive plan and complete the steal.
From offense to defense, Newcastle is a team that likes to take the initiative in its own hands.
This is not the style of play for a weak team.
In the 13th minute, Newcastle's pressing had an effect.
Boyle, Lu Yang, and Bridge were double-teamed. The opponent made a pass error and was intercepted by Lu Yang.
After Lu Yang took a step with the ball, before he even raised his head completely, he spotted the movement of his teammates in the frontcourt out of the corner of his eye.
boom!
A long pass.
Tallinn Chunshen’s defensive players were stunned.
Why don't you read it clearly before you pass it on?
How can there be such a person who only raises his head halfway and then kicks out?
Is it a foul?
In the frontcourt, Manjujovic just retreated and took away the defensive players.
Chiesa cut inside without the ball and successfully countered offside.
In other words, it wasn't that he intended to fight offside, but that Lu Yang's pass was too comfortable! Just kicked it out before Chiesa started, it was like knowing Chiesa's next movement.
"A beautiful long pass! It's almost laser-guided!"
"Chiesa successfully stopped the ball while running! Well done! His skills are quite good. The ball was stopped very cleverly, without affecting his progress, and he maintained control of the football."
"Tallin Spring God's goalkeeper struck, but it was too late."
"Chiesa volleyed into the near corner! Tallinn Spring God's goalkeeper didn't even have time to get to the ground, and the football flew past his feet."
"If he is a top goalkeeper, there is a high probability that he can block this shot!"
"One to zero! Chiesa came out on top for Newcastle! He scored his first goal since joining Newcastle!"
"To be precise, it should be the first goal scored by this group of Newcastle starting players after joining Newcastle."
"Because none of the players in Newcastle's starting lineup have played for Newcastle's first team. Newcastle's youth training Rees has never participated in the club's first team."
"Of course, Lu Yang's pass in this goal is also beautiful! Although there are no fancy moves, the accuracy is unparalleled. And the cross given by grabbing half the rhythm is the most exquisite of this goal. The place."
"This is a master-class pass, the glory is gone, and we are back to our original nature!"
"With this pass, what else do you need from Moric?"
The commentator responded to many Newcastle fans calling on the team to sign Moric.
Fans of Newcastle United and Tallinn were not the only ones watching this game.
There are also many neutral fans.
Everyone came here to watch Lu Yang play football.
After all, this is Lu!
This is a player who can score more than 80 goals in a single season.
Many strikers will never score so many goals in their career.
But now, this player is playing in midfield.
Everyone seems to have overlooked an important piece of information, that is, in the same career length as Moric, Lu Yang has also exceeded the 150 assist mark!
Although it is not as good as Moric's 200 assists, the assist efficiency is still scary. After playing for another two or three years, Lu Yang's assists may reach the top 15 or even the top 10 among active players!
In the 19th minute, Lu Yang’s passing ability was once again demonstrated.
He made a through pass and directly gave Manju Jovic a single-handed goal.
Manjujovic broke into the penalty area. As a positive center, how could he waste such an opportunity?
Facing the attacking Tallinn Spring God, Manjujovic took the ball lightly and shot with one kick.
The football passed the goalkeeper who was on the ground and fell into the door.
"Two to zero! Easy and freehand!"
"I can already conclude that Newcastle's level is much higher than that of Tallinn Spring God!"
"Talin Chun Shen's player positioning is full of loopholes in Lu Yang's opinion."
"And Manjujovic's shooting choice when facing Tallinn Spring God also reflects his mentality and state."
"Except for the first five minutes, Tallinn didn't put any pressure on Newcastle at all."
After Newcastle's simple celebration, the game resumed.
Tallinn Spring God launched a wave of powerful attacks in an attempt to reverse the offensive and defensive positions.
But their left winger struggled in front of Newcastle right back Rees.
Reese's strong body and excellent mobility made the opponent feel like he had hit a moving wall.
The opponent's forward fell to the ground in despair.
The referee did not blow the whistle.
Reese's steal was legal and compliant.
Reese hits the ball to Tavares.
Tavares passed to Bridge who dropped back to receive the ball.
Lu Yang took the opportunity to intervene.
Bridge faced the pressure and passed the ball to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang dribbled the ball in the left rib area, and there was a lot of space in front of him.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Tallinn Chunshen's already insufficient defensive players immediately rushed towards Lu Yang.
Prevent Lu Yang from taking long-range shots.
This is the king of long shots!
Heavy artillery land, who in the world of football doesn’t know who doesn’t?
boom!
While Lu Yang was running, he suddenly took off at a 45-degree angle and passed the ball without any warning before passing the ball.
Manjujovic jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball...
The football went over his head.
Not for him!
It’s the latter point!
Inside the right side of the penalty area, Newcastle star forward Sauber was unguarded and waited for a long time.
boom!
To be on the safe side, Sauber made a slight adjustment after stopping the ball and fired a powerful shot.
The football was like a bomb, exploding in the Tallinn Chun Shen goal.
"Three to zero! It's too fast! It all happened too fast!"
"Three goals in nine minutes! Newcastle have found their attacking sense!"
"I'm sure the Newcastle fans are going crazy, these goals are so easy!"
"From the start of the game to now, in just 22 minutes, Lu Yang has completed his first hat-trick at Newcastle! And it was also an assist hat-trick!"
"You know, for Lu Yang, assisting a hat trick is undoubtedly much more difficult than scoring a hat trick!"
"This is the suppression of the opponent by the core players! No one on Tallin Chunshen's side can limit Lu Yang's passing."
"Lu Yang's body is so strong and his skills are so good. As long as he wants to pass the ball, there is absolutely nothing Tallinn Chun Shen can do!"
Three consecutive goals.
Newcastle are on form.
The players' performance also started to get better.
At least a little bolder.
Flick made a gesture to Lu Yang, and Lu Yang nodded.
Flick was saying: Brother Lu, the opponent's defense has too many flaws. Don't go straight in. Let the team run regular tactics and find the training state?
Lu Yang: Okay, then I'll take a rest.
Soon, some fans discovered something unusual.
"Why don't you pass the ball to Lu Yang?"
"Why doesn't Lu Yang hold the ball? Give it to Bridge."
"What's going on at Newcastle? Why do you feel suddenly not as sharp as before?"
"The core has been changed!" a football-savvy fan explained. "Before, Newcastle's core on the field was Lu Yang. Most of the balls had to be given to him immediately and distributed by him."
"Now the core of the field has become Bridge. Lu Yang is deliberately feeding Bridge the ball. He is more focused on defense. He probably wants to see Bridge's performance."
Everyone's guess was correct.
In the following time, Bridge held the ball for a long time, showing his strong ball control and breakthrough abilities.
But it has to be said that Bridge still has a long way to go, because his ability to grasp passing opportunities while holding the ball is not enough.
The main reason is that his vision is not that great and he only supports small-scale passing.
Manjujovic also saw this and began to frequently meet Bridge.
At this time, the role of a top fulcrum forward is reflected.
Manjujovic, like Bridge, became the core organizer in the frontcourt offense and sent many wonderful passes.
But either Bridge's forward thrust was not resolute enough and the pass was destroyed by the opponent.
Either Chiesa's shot went wide of the goal.
Either Sauber, Chiesa and Manjujovic's cooperation in front of the goal was not smooth enough and mistakes were made.
It's still a generation away from scoring a goal.
But in terms of the situation, Newcastle has the upper hand.
Tallinn Chunshen has no hope of making a comeback.
In the stoppage time of the first half, Bridge finally had a brilliant performance.
He found loopholes in the opponent's defense by spinning the ball in circles, breaking through double teams and entering the penalty area.
After attracting the opponent's central defender, the ball was distributed to Manju Jovic.
Manjujovic almost pushed into the empty net and scored a nanny-level goal.
Four to zero!
Newcastle continued to expand the score.
Qualification for the UEFA Cup is within reach!
During the halftime break, Flick began to summarize the team's performance in the first half with Lu Yang.
Judging from the score, the situation is very optimistic.
But judging from Laura's data, that's not the case.
"When the team encountered defensive pressure, they made too many mistakes in frontcourt coordination. They still need more training to find a tacit understanding."
"Bridge's breakthrough is very threatening, but it is only against Tallinn's defense. If he faces a Premier League defense, it will be difficult for him to perform like this. Either speed up the dribbling rhythm, or strengthen the core, I The former is recommended.”
"Chiesa's offensive method is too simple. He cuts inside and hits the goal. He needs more changes. He has the ability to do it, but he must be willing to use his brain more for this matter. Otherwise, his upper limit is at most Just a top-notch winger.”
"Sauber's shooting skills are absolutely top-notch! So it's hard for me to understand why his shooting confidence is so low...Through the data, we can find that Sauber makes too many trivial adjustments before shooting."
"Including the shot he scored, he also made unnecessary adjustments. When facing a higher level of defense, he will miss many opportunities to kick the goal."
An actual battle can identify many problems that cannot be found in training.
Especially for Sauber, it is a psychological problem.
Then Newcastle have to find a way to solve it.
"In the second half, our center backs and defensive midfielders need to cheer up." Flick made arrangements for tactical adjustments. "We are going to change our formation in the second half!"
Kyle Reese was instantly excited.
Finally let him take off!
The same goes for Boyle.
So in the second half, everyone saw a crazy scene.
"Oh! This is really bullying! Newcastle's full-back Boyle actually ran to the bottom line twice in a row!"
"Bridge passed the ball back, and Lu Yang made a wide-range move. Kyle Reese on the right actually ran across half the court. There was space around him. He successfully caught the ball. Is he preparing to go down?"
"Chiesa set up the side for Reese, who cut inside and completed a powerful and heavy shot from outside the penalty area! It was only half a meter away from the goal! What a pity!"
"It's Boyle again! Bridge made a direct pass, and Boyle was unstoppable. How could he appear on the left wing?"
"Foul! The opponent's No. 6 player had no choice but to foul directly. He received a yellow card!"
"Boyle went up again and passed a cross ball outside the penalty area, but unfortunately it was cleared by Tallinn Chunshen's centre-back."
"Penalty kick! Reese's long shot was blocked by Tallinn's center back. But Chiesa and Manjujovic signaled a handball!"
"The referee awarded a penalty kick! It was indeed a handball! Kyle Reese made a contribution!"
On TV, the players of Tallinn Spring God looked like they had eaten shit.
Too brutal.
It is said that Newcastle is better than the English Championship team?
Is this the strength of the English League One team?
Li Liyuan is on the score, right?
Although we are rubbish, we are 20-year-old fans after all, and we still have discernment.
Although this Newcastle team is immature, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is completely unworthy of the Premier League.
They might actually be able to successfully avoid relegation!
