Since they were two goals behind the home team in the first half, when the Newcastle players returned to the poor visiting team's locker room, almost everyone had a bad look on their faces. They all know the importance of this game to Newcastle, and they also know that if they lose this head-to-head confrontation with Tottenham, then by then, Tottenham will be 10% behind fourth place with ten rounds left in the league. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for Newcastle with three points to reach the European Champions Cup next season!
As a result, an extremely heavy pressure began to linger in the hearts of all Newcastle players, forcing them to feel as if they could not breathe. Under the influence of this psychological pressure, many Newcastle players set their hopes on Robson, who scored the last goal, without remembering that it was precisely because they disobeyed Robson in the first half of the game. Sen's arrangement, full of confidence that Tottenham can be dealt with by attacking, which led to the current bad situation.
"Coach, it was our mistake not to play according to your arrangements before. Here, on behalf of everyone, I admit our mistake to you." At this time, Alan Shearer, as the team captain and locker room leader, stood up and respectfully said Old Robson lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "So, I hope you will not care about our previous reckless behavior. I assure you that we will definitely obey all your arrangements in the second half of the game!"
No wonder Shearer made such a statement. After all, this veteran who is loyal to Newcastle also hopes to have the opportunity to lead his hometown team to the Champions League for the second time. Therefore, out of the desire to participate in the Champions League, Shearer had to temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction with the old Robson, and humbly asked the old coach for advice on how to defeat the enemy.
Of course, part of the reason why Shearer said this now was to shift some of the responsibility for the team's defeat to Robson after the game. Otherwise, if Old Robson tells the truth at the post-match press conference and says that the players did not arrange the game according to his tactics at all, but acted on their own on the field and led to the loss, then even big names such as Shearer will There will be criticism from the media and fans.
And if they play according to Robson's instructions in the second half and still fail to reverse their lagging situation, then the situation will be completely different. Newcastle players led by Shearer can hide behind the scenes and let the team's head coach Old Robson takes the main responsibility for the loss - they don't like Old Robson anyway, so it can be said that there is no psychological pressure to throw this blame on the old coach.
"Well, if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" Seeing the players looking at him with hopeful eyes, and even the always proud Shearer lowering his head to admit his mistake, the old Robson secretly shook his head and thought helplessly.
The coach knows very well that the current situation is already extremely bad for Newcastle. Because Tottenham, who are leading by two goals, have ample room for choice, whether it is offensive or defensive; and in order to win, their side must take the initiative to attack in the second half of the game. Therefore, when the initiative of the game falls into the hands of Tottenham, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for Newcastle, which does not have the upper hand, to complete a comeback in the away game!
Moreover, Robson Sr. knew better that a large part of the reason why Shearer and the others made this choice was that they wanted him to take the blame for the team's loss. However, although he was very dissatisfied with Shearer and others for disobeying his arrangements before and did not think of finding someone to take the blame until a disaster was imminent, the old man's professionalism as a head coach made it impossible for him to turn this team around at this time. The team that spent a lot of effort ignored it.
Therefore, after the second half of the game started, George immediately saw that Newcastle's playing style was very different from that of the first half - although Robson did not make any adjustments to the lineup during the halftime break, he saw We identified the team's problems and made up for them. While ensuring the Magpies' offensive power as much as possible, we also took into account the defense to avoid a situation like the first half where Tottenham could easily launch a quick counterattack with two or three passes. .
The Newcastle players' efforts to remedy the situation did not have the expected results. Although the defense has indeed been greatly improved under the guidance of Robson, on the offensive end, it is difficult for the 33-year-old Shearer to carry the banner of the Magpies' offense. With Vermaelen and Vidic taking turns defending, Shearer simply couldn't get enough space to attack, let alone score.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Robson senior to want to send Shearer away last summer and introduce Rooney or Beatty as the Magpies' new main shooter. The only problem is that Robson underestimated Shearer's energy and appeal at Newcastle, which not only failed to reach the transfer deal for Shearer, but also led to a bad relationship between the two, leaving Robson with the Magpies. The already unreliable leadership position has become increasingly unstable.
Since Newcastle was unable to open up the situation on the offensive end, this allowed Tottenham players to invest more energy in the counterattack. In the 74th minute, Bowyer's cross was directly headered by Vidic who was guarding the penalty area. Carrick, who received the clearance, launched a long pass in the backcourt to counterattack, received the ball and inserted it at high speed along the left. Bierovka made a decisive pass after passing the chasing Aaron Hughes!
Villa, who came on as substitute for Toni, first raised his foot to receive the pass from Bierovka, then immediately ran forward with the ball, and after cleverly avoiding Woodgate's flying tackle, he dribbled the ball in. Restricted area, single sword!
"Wtf! Is this bastard playing football or kicking someone?!" George, who saw the scene clearly, couldn't help but cursed when he saw Woodgate actually using the forbidden move of flying shovel from behind. After all, if Villa had not dodged in time enough and was directly tackled by Woodgate's fierce flying shovel from behind, then the Spaniard would probably have to be carried off the field on a stretcher, and only Villa was on the substitute list. Tottenham, with a genuine forward, would have to face the embarrassing situation of having no forward available.
The fourth official standing not far away also heard George's curse, but after thinking about it for a moment, the referee gave up the idea of warning the opponent or recording the matter in the game report. After all, the cause of this incident was Woodgate's shoveling action from behind that was enough to receive a red card and leave the field immediately. George only said such words when he was angry, and he did not make any further overly excited actions, so if for this After warning George, the fourth official felt somewhat lacking in confidence.
At the same time, Villa, who got a single goal, did not waste this scoring opportunity. He used his right foot to flick the ball and dunk it. He deceived Given into not daring to act rashly and then pushed the ball to the far end of the goal and succeeded, 3-0. !
However, while Villa was celebrating his goal on the sidelines, a shocking scene happened on the court - Lee Bowyer had an argument with Dyer next to him when he returned to his own half, and the two said As he said that, he suddenly started to move his hands on the court! The former punched Dyer fiercely, and Dyer grabbed the former's throat after dodging Bowyer's fist. Bowyer was not to be outdone, and punched Dyer repeatedly, making the latter blind. Venus!
"Let me choke, what's going on?" Seeing this scene, George and Robson, who were directing on the sidelines, couldn't help but were dumbfounded. After all, no one could have imagined that two players playing for the same team would actually fight in a game, and they could fight so fiercely!
Bowyer and Dyer had a big fight on the field, and both ended up receiving red cards. The result not only declared Newcastle's defeat in advance, but also made the Magpies the laughing stock of all English football after the game. After all, teammates who play on the same team would actually get into a fight over a little quarrel in front of everyone. This kind of thing would be enough to make any team lose face!
The most important thing is that the internal strife between Bowyer and Dyer in public this time also proved two extremely important facts - one is that the old Robson has now begun to lose control of the Magpies dressing room, and the other is that Newcastle The relationship between the players is also not harmonious. Otherwise, no matter how badass Bowyer and Dyer are, they would not be able to do such a stupid thing under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans.
In this way, the Magpies, who lost again and again, conceded another goal in the next ten minutes, and finally lost 0-4 to Tottenham Hotspur, who had an incomplete lineup. They lost this game. An extremely crucial match!
For Tottenham, this is also an extremely important victory. After a big victory at home, Tottenham not only successfully defended the team's top four position in the standings, but also continued to maintain a double-digit points advantage over fifth place in the league. It also ended the team's five consecutive league games without a win. , the pressure accumulated by Tottenham players during this period has been greatly relieved!
However, despite ending the vicious cycle of consecutive draws in the Premier League and basically locking in the top four in the league, Tottenham players did not relax their vigilance because of this, because a week later, it was between them and Manchester United. The twenty-ninth round of the Premier League!
For George, this is also a very important game. After all, as long as George wants to prove that he is already outstanding, the simplest and most direct way is to achieve convincing results in direct confrontations with his two mentors, Robson and Ferguson!
What is a convincing enough result? Of course, he led Tottenham Hotspur to defeat the team coached by Robson and Ferguson head-on!
So, after defeating Old Robson's Newcastle, George began to turn his attention to the upcoming Manchester United, wondering how to arrange his troops in order to get these three points from Ferguson.
