"Everyone is like a dragon!" Newcastle's new and old players are in excellent condition! 》
"Seven to one!" The first tragedy in the first round of the Premier League was born! Made in Newcastle! 》
"Don't cry Burnley, you must not be the only one who is unlucky!" Let's take a look at Newcastle's opponents in the next round! 》
"take off? No one can explain why Newcastle suddenly transformed. This is a football miracle! 》
"Goal on debut!" Ancarelli's first season record for Newcastle! 》
Newcastle's game shocked so many people.
Players from other Premier League giants also fell silent after hearing the score from Newcastle.
Especially Chelsea, who will play against Newcastle United in the Community Shield in the near future.
The nature of the Community Shield is similar to the Super Cup in various countries.
The Premier League champions will face off against the FA Cup champions.
But both champions were Newcastle last season, so Chelsea, the second-placed player in the league, will challenge Newcastle.
Joseph: "Let's talk about it. Praxedes is at such a level that he can even come to us as a starter. How can he retire?"
Redclapp: "Ancarelli's deal is an unsolvable problem. No one will pay more than Newcastle for him, but his strength is definitely more than the price we see."
"This is a situation that many old players will face, and the club must conduct multiple analyzes on this issue, not just based on value."
Talista: "It's just a relegation team. When Newcastle really defeats a strong team, we will discuss whether they can defend the title this season."
Dominguez: "Maybe Newcastle are in good shape now, but Chelsea are not bad either. The Community Shield belongs to Chelsea!"
Dominguez said these words in an interview that made Chelsea fans heartbroken.
Because England's Community Shield is cursed.
In the past ten years, teams that have won the Community Shield have failed to win the league championship that season.
If Chelsea really wins the Community Shield, it will be... in danger!
August 23rd.
The second round of the Premier League begins.
Newcastle United met Leicester City, one of the top ten teams in the Premier League.
As a result, Manjujovic and Tavares scored goals to help the team defeat Fox City 2-0.
Lu Yang and Praxedes sent assists respectively.
In the two games, a total of eight players in the Newcastle team scored goals, which is an absolute multi-point success.
This situation is far more terrifying than Lu Yang scoring a goal alone.
Speaking of Lu Yang's goals, some media made a summary last season.
Lu Yang competed on the third line of the Premier League, scoring a total of 59 goals, providing 39 assists, and conceding 98 goals in a single season, directly chasing Real Madrid's record of 108 goals in a single season!
It became Lu Yang's second strongest season so far.
However, unlike the previous season, Lu Yang's assists increased significantly in his first season in the Premier League. Thirty-nine assists topped his career, and was one of his highest assists in a single season.
Similarly, fifty-nine goals are very difficult for other players. In Lu Yang's current season, his season goals are 18, 60, 70, 61, 69, 83...
Eighteen goals is the result of half a season in Serie D. Without taking this into account, Lu Yang’s number of goals last season was the lowest in his career!
But no one dares to say that Lu Yang's offensive ability and finishing ability have declined.
Because he played as a defensive midfielder most of last season!
This season, Lu Yang's position has moved forward, and the number of goals scored... is terrifying even by imagination.
In addition, Lu Yang scored 14 goals and two assists in the World Cup before the Premier League season.
Scored 11 goals and three assists in the just-concluded European Cup.
Excluding this season's games, Lu Yang's total career goals so far have reached 484!
Five hundred is just around the corner!
One hundred and ninety-four career assists!
The two hundred assists that symbolize the top midfield master are just a few games away.
This makes Moric, who just achieved this achievement at the beginning of last season, quite uncomfortable.
So for the discussion about how strong Newcastle's players are, I am afraid that only Lu Yang in the world knows the answer.
On the front line, the strongest one is Sauber with 95.
Ancarelli is also 95, but his physical functions have deteriorated quite significantly, and his speed and physical fitness are obviously lacking.
Manjujovic is 93.
Chiesa made another breakthrough in the European Cup, reaching 91.
Substitute Luka Tu 88, the improvement is very obvious.
This striker lineup, no matter how it is changed, is still ranked among the top European clubs.
As for the midfielder, let’s not talk about Lu Yang’s 99.
Alfonso Boyle will play more as a left midfielder this season and his rating is 88.
Beckenham opened his eyes in the European Cup and improved to 86.
Top level events help young people a lot.
The same is true for Rees. He went to the European Cup with England and scored one point higher than Boyle, 89.
Sasso, who has officially decided to change positions this season, has a rating of 98 and is the second best player in the team after Lu Yang. The defensive midfielder is more suitable for him, where he can create more value.
Tavares, another main midfielder, scored 90.
Substitute midfielder Fenio is 82 and needs to be strengthened.
The team's new player Eriksen has a rating of 88, and his addition is definitely a surprise.
As for the team's central defender, Reese has already said it.
Deas 91 has become the backbone of this defense.
However, he alone cannot sustain it. He also needs the assistance of retired veteran Prasedes, who has a rating of 94.
Substitute center back Gombani is 86.
In terms of goalkeepers, Amelucci has 93, and new aid Kaspar Boleslaw has 87.
The level of signings this year is much higher than last year.
This team, whose top players are close to 95 and most players hover around 90, is a few points better than the continental Barcelona back then.
Now Newcastle are definitely qualified to be a giant in the Premier League.
…
August 24th.
The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage was held.
Because there are seven strong Premier League teams playing in the Champions League, there will be many death groups in this year's Champions League group stage.
Newcastle is considered one of them.
Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Nice.
Needless to say, Atletico Madrid is at the top eight level all year round.
As a Portuguese giant, Sporting Lisbon also has a chance to reach the quarterfinals when they are strong.
Nice's European record is slightly worse, but they are also a famous team in Ligue 1.
Lu Yang played in the European competition for the first time, and his opponent in the group stage was Nice.
At that time, Kanet was also poached from Nice.
Now that the old rivals are reunited, Nice is still the same Nice as before.
But Lu Yang has gone from being a rising star in Serie B to becoming the number one player in world football.
The processing of time is sometimes so sharp.
The death of this group is... the competition for second place is so fierce.
August 30th.
The third round of the Premier League begins.
Newcastle once again ushered in a powerful opponent-Everton!
Despite the dismal results last season and the disparity between investment and ranking, no one dares to say that this Everton team is a weak team so far.
Look at their luxurious lineup, Ruberg, Stiepelmann, Bazami, Locke, Wegard, Marinho, Deda, Rasmussen... these are either famous people or He is a little demon who has performed quite amazingly in the past two years.
This game is enough to become a touchstone for Newcastle in the eyes of the public.
In terms of the match lineup, Newcastle has made slight changes and continues to explore the best combination.
Manjujovic, Sauber
Boyle, Lu Yang, Chiesa
Sasso, Tavares
Plasedes, Deas, Reese
Casper
From the beginning of the game, Everton showed extremely high quality and constantly competed with Newcastle for possession of the ball.
Football is a sport that is destined to have an offensive side and a defensive side on the field.
Subsequently, in official games, there is a high probability that there will be a dominant offensive side and a defensive side.
Even if both teams are offensive teams, as long as they appear in the same game, one team will definitely become the defender and the weak one.
No matter how strong a team is in defensive counterattack, strictly speaking, it is a weak side.
In other words, Chelsea, which is now famous in football, is actually a "weak side", but this weakness is something they actively fought for.
Under normal circumstances, the weaker sides on the court are kicked out.
In this game, there was no real weak side in the first twenty minutes.
Because both Newcastle and Everton have a strong desire to attack when they have the ball and can control the football.
This is very rare and usually only exists on two teams that are both good at passing the ball.
It has to be said that Everton made the right choice to change their coach again this season.
Wait...Nanik!
It took a while before any Newcastle fans recognized Everton's new coach.
"Oh! I just said, why does he look so familiar? This person is Nanik! Isn't he in Germany? When did he come to the Premier League?"
"You don't know? Everton changed their coach immediately after one round of play. He took office less than half a month ago."
"This is the pinnacle of the German head coaching industry. The head coach that the German team just changed was once his student."
"The same goes for the manager of the Hornets, who is rumored to be coming to Liverpool."
"The coach of Paris Saint-Germain also calls Nanik his teacher!"
"Look at how Everton played in this game, it was really good!"
"So the problems at Newcastle that Nanik complained about before are true?"
“Please, didn’t you watch Laura’s interview?”
"Laura is so young and a woman after all..."
"What's wrong with the woman? If you say that again, I'll get punched!"
It wasn't until the 25th minute that the balance of the game was finally broken.
Lu Yang received a pass from Sasso and advanced with the ball in the middle.
Everton's players are ready to press Lu Yang.
Sauber, who was wandering outside the penalty area, immediately retreated to meet Lu Yang.
The two of them crossed each other, and the speed was not slow.
However, the ball possession did not change.
Lu Yang did not pass the ball to Sauber.
But the defensive players who followed Sauber were confused for a while.
The players who were originally guarding Lu Yang also relaxed because of this.
boom!
Lu Yang passed the pass and passed to Chiesa on the right, and then continued to advance.
Manzhu Jovic followed the old rules and pulled towards the left from the middle.
Chiesa had already formed a tacit understanding with Lu Yang in the first round, hitting the wall and hitting the ball.
Lu Yang dribbled the ball to a position one step beyond the top of the penalty area, raised his foot and suddenly hit the goal.
A long shot hit the right ten-cent corner of the goal.
Barty goal!
"Goal! Lu Yang broke his goal drought that lasted for 115 minutes!"
"This goal came from Chiesa's assist. The key is that it is very similar to Lu Yang's goal in the first round."
"It's also Chiesa's assist against the wall, and it's also Manjujovic's space pull!"
"Other teams must find ways to deal with Newcastle's increasingly routine attack."
"Of course it's difficult. Because the difficulty of this offense is not to block Lu Yang, but to block Lu Yang. Manjujovic and Chiesa also have the ability to score goals!"
"This is what it means for Newcastle to have eight players score goals in the first two rounds!"
"They're covered in thorns!"
But Everton were not knocked down by this goal.
They are still actively competing with Newcastle for the ball.
Newcastle are obviously not one-to-zero advocates. They did not learn from Chelsea and retreated, and continued to seize the initiative with Everton.
Until the 45th minute, there was still no real strong player in this game.
In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Portuguese midfielder Wegard received a pass from Marinho and directly kicked the football into Newcastle's penalty area with a long pass.
The German giant Stiepelmann jumped out of the double-team of Deas and Rees and hit a header.
He did not directly swing his head to attack the goal because Deas put a lot of defensive pressure on him.
He chose to hold the football diagonally downward.
This gives the football a slightly elevated arc.
It was this arc that allowed the football to pass through Casper's fingers and fall into the goal.
This is an extremely difficult header that involves luck, but it also reflects Stiepelmann's superb header.
"Oh! It's wonderful! Everton evened the score!"
Seeing this, Everton coach Nanik smiled slightly, as if everything was as he expected.
Returning from midfield, Newcastle took the lead in making changes.
They replaced Boyle with Beckenham, then Chiesa played on the left and Beckenham played on the right.
This adjustment fully demonstrates that Everton puts little pressure on Newcastle's wing.
The slower Beckenham can also play, and his passing footwork will bring more offensive opportunities to the team.
To put it bluntly, Everton's wing defense is not strong enough, and Boyle's sharp knife does not have as many opportunities as passing players.
Sure enough, in the 47th minute, Beckenham, who had just come on the field, received a ball from Sauber and made a pass from Beckham.
Football has a huge arc.
Past Marinho, but also past Manjujovic.
But the crisis has not been resolved.
Lu Yang also broke into the penalty area behind Manzhu Jovic.
Moreover, after the football passed through the place with the largest arc, it began to drift away from the goal, so that Lu Yang, who was further away from the goal, had a high chance of kicking the football.
At the critical moment, Everton midfielder Rasmussen, based on the principle that Lu Yang must not score a goal, flew to head the ball to clear the ball.
The football accurately hit his own goal, which was no worse than Stipelmann's header skills.
Two to one!
Newcastle took the lead again due to the opponent's own goal.
This was originally just a small thing, but under special circumstances, it opened Pandora's box.
In this game, Everton was originally competing with Newcastle for the role of "who is stronger and can control the scene better".
The two sides have been even.
However, Newcastle's substitution took effect two minutes later. Does this mean Newcastle have seen through Everton?
Of course Newcastle didn't see it through.
But this has to make Everton's players think so.
A goal scored after a substitution is the most heartbreaking.
There was an immediate difference in the performance of Everton's players thereafter.
Most of their players chose to take it slow and did not play in a way that was most in line with their intentions.
Experienced people often choose to play it safe after being seen through by the other party.
It's less likely to go wrong this way.
But in this game, it was this rich experience that hurt Everton.
In the 50th minute, Newcastle took a tactical free kick.
Sasso passed the ball to Chiesa, who dribbled the ball from the wing and broke into the offensive third.
Manjujovic, Sauber, Lu Yang, Beckenham and even Tavares all entered the Everton penalty area.
Everton's players retreated frantically and built a wall in front of the small penalty area.
This defensive attitude is completely different from their performance last season.
But...it's not enough to go too far!
Lu Yang suddenly braked and retreated while sprinting.
Chiesafo reached his heart and passed the ball with an inverted triangle.
Lu Yang pushed the ball directly without stopping.
The angle is extremely tricky.
It flew into the goal through the few gaps next to the Everton wall.
Everton had six players defending in the penalty area, while Newcastle also had four players in the penalty area.
Almost all ten people were crowded on the line of the small penalty area.
In this situation, nine out of ten long-range shots will hit a certain player.
Only Lu Yang was able to find the most reasonable and safe way to score at the moment of shooting.
In today's football world, there are many people with this analytical ability.
There are some people with this kind of footwork.
But there are very few that have both.
Robery, Mateo, Carlisle and others have great shooting skills, but their analysis and vision are slightly inferior.
The analysis and vision of Zizzo, Ortiz, Collette and others may be adequate, but their shooting skills are not up to standard.
Moric may be the only player who can barely play both.
Without analyzing his body, Moliqi can be regarded as a bankrupt version of Lu Yang!
Moic? ? ?
Three to one!
Newcastle extended their lead.
This shot also further convinced Everton's players... Newcastle have studied us thoroughly.
After this, although Everton's momentum did not dissipate, it became restrained.
The external manifestation is that they are more cautious when facing Newcastle's attack.
When you focus on defense, you become the underdog in the game.
The control of football has finally been completely grasped by Newcastle.
Newcastle did not waste organizational opportunities in a relaxed state.
Fifty-four minutes.
Sauber made a horizontal pass outside the penalty area.
Lu Yang caught the ball.
Everton midfielder Rasmussen, midfielder Wegard, center back Marinho and others obviously focused their attention on Lu Yang.
They moved towards Lu Yang at the same time, and were all closer to Lu Yang's position to varying degrees.
It seems like this makes them feel safe.
This is defensive deterrence, which means we are watching you, so be careful!
boom!
Before Rasmussen's threatening signal was released, Lu Yang suddenly raised his leg and completed a violent volley with his left foot.
The football flew into the penalty area against the turf.
Play diagonally and drill into the right side of the goal.
Defense is defense, defense is action, and defense is position.
Defense is active, defense is passive.
For Lu Yang, what is the difference between being defensive and having no defense?
He has inverse feet, ah... he has five feet, and he can shoot at any time and anywhere!
If you don't take the initiative to grab him and give him a physical confrontation, isn't that just waiting to be shot?
"Goal! Four to one! Too fast! In less than ten minutes of the second half, Newcastle scored three goals in a row, completely changing the situation of the game!"
"Lu Yang completed a long-range hat trick! All three shots were completed outside the penalty area! He was like a human bazooka today!"
"Rasmussen seems to be still in a daze, and Deda is angrily accusing his teammates. Indeed, Everton's players gave Lu Yang too much space!"
"Everton's entire first half effort was wiped out in the last ten minutes!"
"It seems that Nanick's transformation of Everton needs to continue. But at least Everton's performance in the first 45 minutes was remarkable, which seems to prove Nanick's coaching ability."
However, as the head coach of Newcastle United next door, Flick disagrees with the public's view: "There are no forty-five minutes of football matches in this world."
"Since the time is ninety minutes, to evaluate the success of a game's tactics, we have to look at it holistically."
"The last ten minutes may be excluded due to physical fitness and other reasons. At the very least, this collapse at the beginning of the second half is obviously the head coach's problem."
"And...even in the last ten minutes, players' physical exhaustion, tactical deformation, including mentality changes, etc., a truly top head coach should take into consideration."
After scoring the goal, Lu Yang and his teammates launched a relatively long celebration.
Flick took the opportunity to whisper to Lu Yang and asked if Lu Yang needed to rest.
Lu Yang shook his head: "I feel very good today."
Flick understood at the time. He then found Beckenham, Manjujovic, Chiesa, Sasso and other players and told them that Lu Yang was in good condition today and that they should pass the ball to Lu Yang more if there was a chance.
If there is no chance...if you create an opportunity, you have to pass the ball to Lu Yang.
The players nodded, indicating that they were familiar with this matter.
Feed the ball, they can do it.
Although feeding the ball is not simple.
For example, last season's Manchester United players basically just walked on horseback and couldn't feed the ball.
If you hand the football to Ronaldo in the midfield, is that called feeding the ball?
That’s because they are helping you take care of it!
If you pass someone near the penalty area or your shot is intercepted or blocked and then bounces to Ronaldo, is that called feeding the ball?
That's why people are fighting for it in the first place!
If a player can start his kick comfortably with almost no adjustment, or if he can shoot directly with just a small adjustment, then that is called feeding the ball.
At the very least, your passing can give others a greater chance of facing the goal, right?
Every ball needs someone else to catch it, so why... give you an assist?
From Martial to Greenwood, it’s all about the protagonist’s style of play.
Back to the game.
Compared with those unruly players, Chiesa also has outstanding speed and good dribbling skills.
But he is very willing to provide assists for Lu Yang.
When he and Lu Yang are playing two-on-one at the same time, he will hand the football to Lu Yang at the most appropriate time.
Instead of handing it to Lu Yang early in the morning, and then running to a more suitable position and spreading his hands to ask for the ball, waiting to see if Lu Yang will pass the ball... Isn't this a scheming scheme?
Sixty-five minutes.
Such an opportunity presented itself.
Chiesa saw Lu Yang advancing from the wing and made a decisive pass.
But this time it was a little more obvious. Everton's full-back anticipated Chiesa's cross and raised his foot to kick the ball.
But the football did not fly far, but flew very high, and still fell into the Everton penalty area.
Manjujovic found Marinho and there was a fierce confrontation.
Lu Yang rushed towards the other central defender.
The football dropped.
The central defender had to watch Lu Yang and the ball, so he made an obvious mistake.
Seeing that the football was about to fall from his side, even though it was not far away from him, he was not sure that he could control the ball faster than Lu Yang who was rushing over.
This is a restricted area again.
Lu Yang can shoot after grabbing the football.
Too dangerous.
Therefore, whatever the Everton central defender thinks in his heart, he will act in reality.
He directly hugged the football back with both hands. Because the incident happened suddenly, it took him several hugs to get it, and then he kicked the football out of the penalty area.
Lu Yang was immediately stunned.
this……
Even in the NBA, you are lucky.
The referee blew the whistle on the spot, and there was no doubt about the yellow dot package.
Handball in this situation is definitely challenging the referee's upper limit of tolerance.
Lu Yang stood on the penalty spot and took a spoon penalty to trick Brazilian goalkeeper Deda.
Five to one!
Lu Yang scored four goals.
The famous "filial piety" player Chiesa completed a hat trick of assists.
As a result, he currently ranks first in the Premier League assists list with four assists.
Chiesa looked at his assist data and was scared.
He has played with top passers like Moric.
He clearly knows that he is definitely not a good passing player.
Compared with Moric's passing, it can only be called a kick, it has no soul at all.
However, after three rounds of the Premier League this season, Moric has only three assists.
This is a bit eye-catching to me.
This data... If everyone cracks down on fraud in the future, Chiesa will have a hard time defending it.
"My assists are pretty average. I mainly pass the ball to Brother Lu. How can I pass the ball?"
"I really don't have Versailles, so you can come and do it! Molic played like this back then!"
"No, Brother Mo, I have no other intention. I really don't want to compete with you for the assists title!"
Who believes it?
Just ask who believes it!
