"Next Land!" Call it Lucatu! 》
"Everton sinks!" The American toffee cannot beat the Chinese magpie! 》
"Newcastle League Double Beats Everton!" 》
"Newcastle are back on the road to winning, and the center crisis is temporarily lifted! 》
"Gombani beats Savio, Newcastle's winter window signings are bearing fruit! 》
Lucatu became famous in one battle and was given high hopes.
Given time, he might become a top-notch center in the Premier League.
However, Newcastle's schedule this year is really bad.
The new players had not yet fully adapted. In the 22nd round, Newcastle met Arsenal again.
Arsenal started the season very well.
But injuries occurred around the winter break.
Their defense goalkeeper Pratsa is injured.
This is very painful for Moliqi.
Without his personal bodyguard, Moric's efficiency immediately dropped by a notch.
He even almost got hurt.
Arsenal's performance fluctuated as a result, falling from far ahead to third in the league.
This year's top teams in the Premier League are all performing very well. Whoever stretches his hips a little will drop down the rankings.
Some predict that this may be the most intense season for all Premier League awards in the past decade.
But facing the unstable Arsenal, Newcastle still failed to win.
Was double beaten by Arsenal in the league.
Relying on a crazy attack, Arsenal pushed Newcastle to the door of the penalty area and took away three points from 2 to 0.
However, it is worth noting that although the score difference is large, Newcastle is not actually much different on the scene.
Their defensive counterattacks were threatening, and they came very close to scoring twice.
Unfortunately, Lukatu was slow to dribble the ball at the first opportunity, or he underestimated the speed of Gordon, the number one left back in the Premier League, and was caught up and destroyed by the opponent.
The second opportunity was when Lucatu passed the ball too few times. In a three-on-two situation, he lost the ball and wasted his teammates' movement.
Of course, Lucatu also has its good points.
That is, after he squandered the opportunity these two times, he immediately gave his teammates a thumbs up and expressed praise.
This alleviated the anger of teammates to a certain extent.
After this game, Newcastle fans never mentioned the second land again.
Lucatu still has too many areas that need polishing.
The first-class center in the Premier League that everyone had imagined before would probably not have a chance until four or five years later.
On January 24, the fourth round of the FA Cup kicked off.
Newcastle rotate appropriately.
The substitute lineup lived up to expectations and performed very well.
When there is no high-intensity pressure, Fenio, the weakest player in the Newcastle team, is actually the one who performs the best.
Looks like Moric in the last game, capable of everything.
In the end, Fenio sent two assists, Chiesa scored, and Lucatu also shined again, completing the pass and shot.
Newcastle advanced to the fifth lap with a 4-2 lead.
January 31st, the last few hours of the winter transfer window closing.
The twenty-third round of the Premier League begins.
Newcastle continued to lose 2-4 at home and were taken away three points by Aston Villa.
In this game, Lu Yang and center back Sasso provided assists, and center back Deas and shadow forward Sauber scored goals.
The problem mainly lies with Fenho who rotates Tavares.
He performed well in the last game, and Flick rewarded him with a league start.
Tavares does need to rest. He experienced some discomfort during training. Although it is not serious, it is often a precursor to injury.
As a result, who would have thought that Fenio would dominate when playing against opponents in the English Championship, and instantly become a master of return passes when playing against opponents in the Premier League.
He fell down at the first touch, making the referee want to give Fenio a yellow card for diving.
This game also showed that Fenio is indeed more suitable to sit on the bench.
But the biggest news this round is not that Newcastle lost, but Arsenal.
Arsenal won.
But...Moric is injured!
It's not serious, but it will take more than a month to return to the competition.
This means that Arsenal's next games will be difficult.
Their probability of winning the league this season has suddenly dropped.
Because the next two months will be the competition for major leagues.
At this time, whether it is the European competition or the cup competition, the intensity has increased.
Those who should be eliminated have almost been eliminated.
Everyone can focus on the domestic league, adjust the final goal of the season and work hard towards it.
It is almost impossible for Arsenal to catch up with the top two in the standings in this state.
The half-season lead collapsed at the drop of a hat.
This is really God's will.
On February 7, in the twenty-fourth round of the Premier League, Newcastle faced Wolves.
This game is Manjujovic's comeback battle.
As soon as he returned, Newcastle ushered in victory, ending their two consecutive defeats in the Premier League.
narrowly defeated Wolves 3-2.
Manjujovic and Sauber scored, and Beckenham scored his first Premier League goal.
Lu Yang, Reese, and Boyle provided assists.
Manjujovic's advantage is that he is more stable and mature than Lukatu.
If you say it's not vague, then it's not vague.
February 10th, the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League.
Arsenal lost as expected.
Newcastle beat Stoke City 5-3, and both sides let go of their attacks.
Lu Yang had one goal and three assists, completing a hat trick of assists.
Manjujovic was in good shape after his comeback, scoring two goals and one assist.
Sauber and Chiesa both scored.
Lukatu played well and came off the bench to gain assists.
On February 14, the fifth round of the FA Cup kicked off.
Newcastle's substitute players continued to perform brilliantly and won 4-0.
Dragging Newcastle into the embarrassing situation of a third-line battle.
On February 17, the UEFA Cup also started, and the pressure of multi-front operations was fully felt.
Newcastle's opponent is... Anderlecht.
This is also a coincidence.
Newcastle had just bought Lucatu from Anderlecht in the winter window, and this backhand met the opponent.
Moreover, there are no avoidance regulations in the transaction contract between the two parties.
Of course, Lukatu is only a youth training player at Anderlecht, and he himself does not receive much attention from the team and does not obtain a stable first-team position in the team.
Therefore, he has not played in the UEFA Cup before.
But it doesn’t matter if I kick it.
In order to promote the transfer of players and the prosperity of the market, UEFA has long changed its regulations.
Clubs theoretically have an opportunity to change their European roster after each window opens. However, the number of players that can be changed is limited and cannot exceed three.
And the player has not changed the roster before this season.
In other words, it can only be changed once.
Lucatu, Gombani, and Mattia were substituted this time and met the conditions for playing.
Lukatu was still on the bench at the beginning of this game.
After all, Newcastle attaches the highest importance to the UEFA Cup this season, giving priority to UEFA Cup games, with all the main players playing.
Until the 38th minute, when Sauber opened the scoring for the team, he collided with the opponent's goalkeeper.
Sauber looked in pain, and the team doctor came to the scene immediately.
The team doctor said that Sauber could not continue to play. After consideration, Newcastle replaced Lukatu and moved Lukatu to the center position, allowing Manjujovic to retreat to the shadow striker and attacking midfielder positions.
Manjujovic has such ability.
And the effect is okay.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Manjujovic acted as the pivot and hit the wall with Bridge and Lu Yang one after another.
Send the final pass.
Lu Yang moved forward resolutely and shot from the top of the penalty area.
The ball hit the defender's legs, changed its line, and penetrated into the net.
Because this shot was inside the goal area, it was considered Lu Yang's goal, not an own goal.
In the 74th minute, Lukatu took the ball from the wing.
Perhaps because he did not get enough opportunities in Anderlecht, Lukatu held his breath in this game to let his old club see clearly all his shortcomings, oh no, all his advantages.
Continuously riding the bicycle, although his movements were clumsy, the force he used to push someone before breaking through was not small.
Lukatu passed by and then cut inside, trapping the defender behind him.
Lu Yang moved forward again, and Lukatu passed the ball decisively.
Lu Yang dribbled the ball horizontally and started to hit the goal.
The opponent's defensive player put his hands behind his back and stepped forward to block.
Fake cum!
Lu Yang continued to dribble the ball laterally and kicked off again.
Another person from the other side came over to block it.
Fake cum again!
boom!
Lu Yang gently released the ball.
Lukatu, who had just passed the ball, had already moved from behind Lu Yang to the front.
With Lu Yang's push, Lukatu dribbled the ball into the penalty area and fired a shot that almost overturned the net.
Three to zero!
Lukatu turned back on his old club and scored the game-ending goal.
Of course, although it was fun to shoot, Lukatu did not celebrate after scoring.
Instead, he simply gave Lu Yang a thumbs up and then silently returned to his own half.
This resulted in Anderlecht fans not booing Lukatu.
If World of Warcraft invites them, Anderlecht must also do so.
In this football world where human kindness is gradually weakening, Lukatu's behavior undoubtedly added points to himself.
At least Newcastle don't like players who show off their power to their old club for no apparent reason.
Unless you leave in a bad mood.
Just like Lu Yang is to Barcelona.
Whether it is Sanremo or Real Madrid, if Lu Yang encounters them in the future, he will definitely not celebrate after scoring a goal, especially his first goal.
Anderlecht lost 3-0 in the first round, and the probability of winning three against Newcastle in the next round is slim.
Newcastle have half a foot in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
…
On February 21, the 26th round of the Premier League begins.
Newcastle vs Southampton.
Newcastle had an appropriate rotation for this game as Sasso's wife gave birth to his fourth child.
He had to go back and take a look.
See if it looks like yourself.
In the frontcourt, Newcastle continued as they did in the previous game, letting Manjujovic and Luka Tu act as twin towers.
Sauber has only a minor injury, but he is expected to miss more than half a month of the game.
He originally had a glass body, and if he wasn't completely good, Lu Yang wouldn't dare to let him return to the competition.
In fact, when Sauber was young, he took an extra year to recuperate from injuries, and maybe his career can continue to shine.
Just like Hazard in real life, after three or four years of comfortably recuperating from his injury, he might be able to thrive for another three to five years at the end of his career.
At this time, someone took Hazard away at a low price, which definitely belongs to the series of picking up big money and having fun.
Facts have proved that the two-tower tactic is still very powerful.
In the first half, Chiesa made a cross from the wing and Manjujovic scored a header.
In the second half, Bridge took a corner kick and Gombani scored with a header.
In the 80th minute, substitute Beckenham made a pass and Lucatu scored with a header.
Newcastle's three top players scored goals one after another, and they were all headers, which made the Southampton fans also make mistakes.
February 28th, the 27th round of the Premier League.
Newcastle host Queens Park Rangers.
The Queen's situation is quite dire.
Although there are still eleven or twelve rounds left in the league, they have already reached the bottom.
The good news is that with the strong competition of points by the seven sisters of the Premier League this year, the points of the Premier League relegation teams are also quite close.
The bad news is that the Queen lost again.
Even though Newcastle scored an own goal and a penalty kick, they still lost 4-3.
You can't blame anyone else.
On Newcastle's side, Lu Yang is probably afraid that Sasso's child doesn't look like him, right?
Sasso was clearly out of form in this game.
The own goal was his contribution.
The penalty kick also has a lot to do with his loss of position.
It's March.
March 3rd, the 28th round of the Premier League.
Newcastle and Leicester City shake hands.
In the stage of grabbing points, Newcastle relied on a good schedule to close the distance with the previous teams.
In the last five Premier League games, four wins and one draw.
After more than half a season, Premier League fans no longer have any doubts about Lu Yang's strength.
In just twenty-eight rounds of the league, Lu Yang scored twenty-seven goals and nineteen assists.
The efficiency is incredible!
At the same time, he dominates the Premier League scorer list and assists list.
And whether it is Lima, who is second in the scorer list, or Moric, who is second in the assists list, there is at least a three-goal gap between him and Lu Yang.
His numbers are very strong.
But unfortunately, Manchester City and Arsenal are ahead of Newcastle in the standings.
After this game, the media began to warm up.
"Passionate Showdown in the FA Cup Quarter-finals!" Newcastle face Arsenal for the third time this season! 》
"Newcastle VS Arsenal!" Arsenal may beat Newcastle three times in a single season! 》
"Newcastle may not lose!" Arsenal's third-line battle is under great pressure. Failure to win in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is the biggest problem! 》
"The FA Cup is obviously not as important as the Champions League!" Arsenal announces FA Cup roster, mostly substitutes! 》
"Atletico Madrid coach speaks out: Arsenal's failure to compete at full strength in the FA Cup is disrespectful to Newcastle and England fans!" 》
"Winter responded: Atletico Madrid, which only needs to play in the Champions League every season, certainly doesn't know how much schedule pressure Arsenal faces. They have long lost their pursuit of the La Liga title! 》
"Flick responded: The Champions League is the club's highest honor that every team will be excited about. I understand Arsenal's formation!" 》
"Moric: Arsenal in this era deserves a Champions League!" 》
"Everton Spokesperson: Arsenal deliberately let it go. Is this considered match-fixing?" 》
"Lu Yang responded to Everton: Is the thickness of the lineup not part of the game now?" Schedules and trade-offs are not part of the football world anymore? We welcome all the main players of Arsenal to fight with us again, but this cannot change the fact that Everton was double-killed by Newcastle! 》
Arsenal's arrangements will not change based on outside opinions.
First, it is not a derby, not a key league match. The FA Cup is the game that Arsenal is most willing to give up.
After all, they are the champions of this event.
It is the team with the most FA Cup trophies.
Winter's previous dismissal crises were all resolved by the FA Cup.
This trophy is therefore called the "vacuum cup" by more people.
On March 7, the FA Cup quarter-finals kicked off.
Among Arsenal's forwards, only Robin Fan is worthy of attention.
Midfielder Moric is not available.
Platsa only returned after the Champions League game.
Olshavin, who is already prone to injury, did not make the roster.
Gordon, the premier left back in the Premier League, sat on the bench.
Such a lineup has caused Newcastle's odds to plummet.
Because compared to Arsenal's lineup, which can't even be called the main force, Newcastle still came up with a regular lineup despite such a tight schedule and three-front battles.
Lucatu
Chiesa, Bridge, Beckenham
Lu Yang, Fenio
Boyle, Sasso, Deas, Rees
Amelucci
In addition to the fact that Lao Zhuhuang, a native of Manjujovic, needs careful maintenance and avoids fighting, midfielder Tavares did not play.
Tavares has been feeling some discomfort recently, which does not affect the game.
But for the sake of safety, Lu Yang suggested not using him in games that can do without him.
This sub-healthy state is often prone to accidents.
This lineup seems to be no different from other Newcastle lineups before.
But in fact the core has changed.
Bridge is a true midfielder in this position.
When Sauber was in this position, he actually played as a shadow forward.
The effect is different.
This game will be a big test for Lukatu.
He is a true single center and needs to provide a fulcrum for the team.
At the beginning of the game, Lukatu easily lost the ball under White's impact.
He still suffers a bit against top physical defenders.
The core strength of young people is always a little worse than that of old people.
But Lukatu soon made a comeback.
After he dropped back to meet Bridge, he did not pass the ball immediately. Instead, he dribbled past the incoming Smith Rowe with two consecutive kicks.
It has been six years since Smith Rowe joined Arsenal.
The positioning is clear, that is, the defensive engineer in the substitute lineup.
He is the lowest player at Arsenal.
Ability is really limited.
His first game at Arsenal was the Star of Italy invitational match six years ago. Lu Yang kicked Smith Rowe out at that time, and the two had a conflict on the court.
Smith Rowe is actually a microcosm of Arsenal.
Look at Chelsea, superstars like Gutierrez must be replaced in time if they are not used to their satisfaction.
But Arsenal's lineup has hardly been updated for so many years.
Their embarrassment is really known to everyone.
But even under such circumstances, they have still maintained the level of a Premier League giant, playing in the Champions League almost every year.
Moreover, it has grown in reverse in the past two years, winning the Premier League championship for two consecutive years and reaching the Champions League final last year.
It’s not easy.
Arsenal is really delayed by the boss behind it.
If the boss' funds are in place, Winter will win one or two Champions League titles in the past six years.
Before the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City, it was not impossible to overthrow Manchester United and dominate the Premier League.
Talking back to the game, Lukatu's dribbling attracted White's defense.
White was forced out, but Lukatu kicked the ball through.
Bridge suddenly accelerated and poked the football before Gabe Longles, the young central defender Arsenal bought from Lille this season.
Chiesa got rid of Arsenal's own youth training youngster Lem Bos and entered the penalty area to hit the goal.
The angle was tricky and goalkeeper Maduk was helpless.
One to zero!
Newcastle took the lead early.
Arsenal also launched several subsequent counterattacks.
But without the core midfielder Moric, their offense seems relatively simple.
Apart from giving Lu Yang a few steals and interceptions, he didn't pose much of a threat.
Arsenal's few main players are all players who do not have strong independent offensive ability.
Although Walter is a star player in both Arsenal and England, his speed and willingness to pass the ball are the biggest highlights.
The individual's ability to threaten the goal is relatively insufficient.
But Robin Fan himself came up with a one-stop shot and almost scored.
However, he encountered Amelucci's trick and bravely saved a shot that was close to a ten-point angle.
In the 69th minute of the second half, Lu Yang saved the ball and perfectly intercepted Robin Fan who was cutting inside, teaching this little fan a lesson.
Then Lu Yang made a long pass into the frontcourt.
Lucatu knows how to header the ball, decently.
Bridge split the ball without stopping.
Beckenham passed the ball directly without stopping and launched a wave of ultra-fast transition attacks.
Arsenal's central defenders were all looking at Luka Tu, but Chiesa was once again unguarded at the back point.
boom!
Chiesa scored twice.
Newcastle lead Arsenal 2-0.
Then Newcastle replaced Beckenham, the assist hero, with Mathias, and then moved to the right back position.
Rees, the original right back, swung into a central defender.
Five defenders!
Newcastle are clearly telling Arsenal, stop struggling and just end it like this.
Mr. Winter kept shaking his head and lamented that Newcastle was a real dog and would not leave any chance.
One thing to say, Arsenal was planning to make substitutions to chase points.
More than twenty minutes, which is not short at all.
But Newcastle's five defenders are shameless.
Most of Arsenal's substitutions will not recover two goals.
It is better to simply let the main players on the bench have a good rest.
Eighty-eight minutes.
Chiesa faced off against Arsenal right-back Lem Boss on the left.
Lukatu and Lu Yang both came over to press for him.
In the last few minutes of the game, both sides are prone to such situations.
The offense wants to steal the chicken, and so does the defense.
The variables are very high at this time.
This time, Newcastle struck first.
Lembos tried to pass back to the centre-back, but was intercepted by Lucatu.
Lu Yang blocked the opponent's pass to the midfielder.
Lembos could only pass back to the goalkeeper.
But Chiesa worked tirelessly and bumped into the opponent the moment he passed the ball.
Lem Boss did not exert any force.
Chiesa started sprinting, racing against the opponent's goalkeeper Maduq.
For a winger to be able to charge forward at the end of the game, many people didn't expect it.
Chiesa's physical fitness has laid the foundation for him to become a superstar.
boom!
Chiesa shot ahead of Marduk and was knocked to the ground by Marduk the next moment.
He lay on the ground watching the trajectory of the football, unable to move at all.
His strength was exhausted.
So, when the football rolls into the back of the goal.
Chiesa lay on the spot, raised his hands, and celebrated weakly.
"GOAL! Three to zero! Chiesa ended the game!"
"Hat trick! Italian youngster Chiesa sends Arsenal home with a hat trick!"
"It's incredible! He's not even eighteen yet!"
"This is the youngest hat-trick in the FA Cup!"
"Newcastle's third-line triumph is simply amazing!"
"You can't imagine what will happen when young players like Chiesa, Beckenham, Lucatu, Rees, Boyle, Bridge, Tavares and Fenio play in the Premier League for two or three years. ."
"I'm already looking forward to Newcastle in the next few seasons!"
"Even if they have no results this season, for their new team, they have done their best!"
"No one can criticize Newcastle like this!"
"Lu Yang is helping the Premier League mature a large group of superstars. By his side, young players can always improve faster!"
"Okay! The game is officially over! Let us congratulate Newcastle for becoming the first semi-final team in this year's FA Cup!"
"They finally completed a counterattack when they encountered Arsenal for the third time this season. Although this is not a complete Arsenal, who can say that this Newcastle team is a Newcastle team with great success?"
"As long as you win, you will never be embarrassed!"
"Okay, Chiesa is here, let's interview him... Chiesa, what do you want to say about your performance today?"
Chiesa said a few words.
"What about you, Lu? Do you have anything to say to Arsenal? Moric double-killed you before."
Lu Yang pondered for a moment: "Then I will help Arsenal win in the Champions League!"
