Chapter 124 Patton's Philosophy

Unfortunately, Allardyce misstep again.

His three midfielder tactics that seemed to restrain Manchester City's offense did not play a big role in reality.

Newcastle has never been a team that is good at defense; and defense has never been judged by the accumulation of defensive players.

Reducing the number of people in the frontcourt and increasing the number of defenders gave Manchester City control over the rhythm of the game.

Ostensibly appropriate measures by Newcastle to deal with City's attack.But in fact, the balance of the game began to tilt more and more towards Manchester City.

One step back, only one step back!

This was something Allardyce hadn't expected.

It is still the Five Elements Formation!

The power of the five-element formation lies in the fact that the player with the ball is the center, and other players run into the space nearby, disrupting the opponent's defense.

Mido is such a player who plays the role of the ball holder.As a midfielder who can pass and shoot well, Mido has a very strong ability to distribute the ball and is the core of Manchester City's organization.So Newcastle sent three defensive midfielders, and Mido was the most important person to mark.

Under Newcastle's defense, Mido looked left and right, and there was indeed no space.All the ball routes are blocked tightly.

Newcastle's defensive players looked ferocious and forced towards Mido.

But Mido just didn't have space, but his teammates who passed the ball always had it.Therefore, with the shrinking living space, Mido chose to pass the ball.

Shevchenko drops back and gets the ball.

At this time, in the five-element formation, Shevchenko became the ball holder, and the other four players became runners.

The formation system has never stipulated that the selection of the ball holder is fixed.As long as the ball is at their feet, anyone can take on this responsibility and have this obligation.

Now the roles are reversed, Shevchenko has become the ball carrier, and Mido is naturally a runner.

There are no gaps in Mido's position, but in Shevchenko's position, there are gaps everywhere!

Because Newcastle's defensive players were all compressed near Mido.On the court, all actions are essentially to compete for space and time.If the space near Mido is compressed, then the space near Shevchenko will be empty.

Dealing with such a situation is simply too easy for a world-class striker.

Shevchenko did not hesitate after taking the ball, and directly swept the ball to the right. Trabelsi has already started at high speed, and there is no defensive player by his side!
As an experienced wide player, Trabelsi can know how to make the most suitable action at the most suitable place.

He cuts in!

No one thought that Trabelsi, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, would suddenly enter the restricted area!

Newcastle's defense quickly adjusted and shifted their focus to his side.

At this moment, a piercing whistle sounded.

"beep……"

In the penalty area, the football was kicked off the field by Newcastle defender Rozenal, but Trabelsi lay down on the lawn in an extreme standard "dog eat shit" posture that can be included in textbooks.

On the lawn in the restricted area!
The referee on duty rushed into Newcastle and pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

"This is? Penalty? Wow, the referee awarded Manchester City a penalty, Trabelsi fell in the penalty area... Look at the replay, Trabelsi entered the penalty area, wow, the speed is really good Quick! He swayed away a central defender, and the defending Rozner tripped him... Yes, the referee made a correct penalty, which is a standard penalty!"

"... In the 29th minute of the game, Manchester City got a great opportunity to overtake the score! Trabelsi created a penalty kick for Blue Moon! Let's see who will take the penalty, it is Barton! As the spiritual leader of the team, he came Take the penalty, there is no dispute!"

The Newcastle players panicked. Several people surrounded the referee and complained loudly, but the referee just waved his hands and shook his head, unmoved at all!
For the aggressive words of individual Newcastle players, he used verbal warnings!
On the field.

Among the more than 3 fans at St. James' Park, quite a few covered their eyes!There are also some people who do not give up and silently pray that Barton will not score this goal!
Button pressed the football on the penalty spot, looked up at the opponent's goalkeeper, then stood up, and slowly stepped back to open up the running distance...

Back five steps, Barton stopped.

Sweat dripped down Barton's tough cheeks as if he was cutting with a knife.Barton chatted about the jersey and wiped off his sweat.

The referee's whistle sounded, and it's time to take the penalty!
The scene was silent, and everyone held their breath.Button took a deep breath, glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper again, and used the corner of his eye to confirm his shooting angle again, and then started to run up.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Button ran the whole distance in three steps, and then lifted his foot to kick the ball.

boom!On the empty court, there was a muffled thunderous shot and crash.

The football flew out from Button's feet, and a dazzling white line drew a straight line in the air, heading straight for the goal behind the Newcastle goalkeeper!

The angle is not tricky, the power is amazing!
Newcastle goalkeeper Shay leaped out with great effort. He reached the football, but he was unable to change the trajectory of the football, and finally saw the football into the net!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! 2:1, Manchester City overtook the score. In the 29th minute of the game, St. James' Park became a boiling ocean! Manchester City overtook the score for the second time this season!"

On the field.

Barton celebrated crazily. He made fist-waving movements while running, looking arrogant and domineering!

Manchester City fans, because of Barton's bewitching celebration, their blood was racing!
Barton ran under the stands of the visiting fans, waved his arms at them, and then made a "thumbs down" motion at the home stands.

The constant boos from the fans of the home team made him very unhappy.

So he also wants to make the fans of the home team upset!
Barton is a very vengeful person!

After a provocative celebration, the game resumed.

The fans also held grudges. Whenever Button got the ball, there would always be boos in the stands. If you listen carefully, you can also hear swear words beginning with "F" and "S" to express condolences to members of the Button family's matriarchal family.

But Barton's face was as usual, calm and calm!
As a well-known "Premier League villain" with a bad temper and a tough playing style, Barton has been booed in almost all stadiums except the city stadium.

The booing at St. James' Park was even a treat for him.

Because in a way, he "conquered" another court.

When others boo him, it is because others fear him, fear him, and envy him.

Since others fear him, fear him, and envy him, then they should be happy, not depressed!
This is Barton's philosophy!
