The ball flew to the far end of the penalty area, and Jamal Russells, who was wearing the captain's armband, looked at Clark beside him and judged that the ball seemed to be coming towards him!

Russells glanced at the other end of the penalty area, and a white figure flashed by. Russells knew that the person who came to meet him was in place! Now all he needed to do was...

"Russells headed the ball! Why is Mitrovic in that position! Mitrovic's adjusted shot!!!!"

Mitrovic actually received the ball next to the penalty spot! He took the lead and raised his head. The goal looked particularly large in front of him! So Mitrovic only needed to push the ball-

Martinez roared, and he rushed out to stop Mitrovic, but when he saw that Mitrovic had already raised his leg to prepare for a shot, Martinez subconsciously stopped his pace, but his emergency stop was still a step slower!

Mitrovic's shot slipped under his left arm that had not yet opened! ! !

"The ball goes in!!!!"

"Why is he in that position?" Martinez pointed at Mitrovic's back as he rushed to the sidelines and asked loudly, but no one could answer him.

"When Shelvey's free kick came out, Mitrovic suddenly rushed out from behind the wall, received Russells' header, faced the goalkeeper in an almost unguarded area, and calmly pushed the ball into the goal!"

Lineker smacked his lips and exclaimed, "This is really a wonderful free kick cooperation."

The camera was given to Shelvey before he served the ball, and he specially asked Mitrovic to come to him. He had a brief conversation with Mitrovic, and then Mitrovic first ran to the other side of the penalty area to talk to the defender about it, and then ran back to the wall closer to the ball.

But in this process, no Wolves player caught up with him, and no one even reminded their teammates that there was a big living person here! The three players in the wall almost ignored the lurker behind them.

"This ball went in..." Wei Le didn't know what to say.

He reminded us to pay attention to set pieces, but the ball still went in.

Rather than saying how sophisticated Newcastle United's set-piece tactics are, it's better to say that Wolves were not very focused at the beginning of the second half. If there was someone watching Mitrovic, this ball wouldn't have been so easy to score.

It was Coady who competed with Russells for the header. He stayed at his post and fully interfered with Russells' header, resulting in the ferry being slow and not very accurate. He just found the general direction, which was not a good pass.

But Mitrovic had no one to defend him, so he had plenty of time to adjust. He adjusted for a whole second before shooting! And it wasn't until Mitrovic kicked the ball out that the Wolves' defensive players came late.

"Set piece..." Sailars said regretfully. He thought the team could keep the opponent scoreless, but he didn't expect that Newcastle would give Wolves a blow at the beginning of the second half.

"We just practiced the set-piece attack routine." Wei Le smiled and shook his head, not taking the ball too seriously. In fact, this ball was a wake-up call for the Wolves players. Since they lost the ball, they should pay more attention.

Wei Le observed that Newcastle United had not made any particularly clear tactical adjustments in the second half. Maybe Benítez firmly believed that his deployment was fine, or the players did not execute it well.

In the 53rd minute, the Wolves' attack came. After being awakened by a goal, the Wolves players became energetic. This game was played at home, and it was a battle with the direct opponent of the championship. The goal was not to maintain a draw, but to win!

Almiron cut in from the left and rushed to the goal!

"Almiron cuts inside, he has gradually entered the danger zone, and also entered the encirclement of Newcastle United players. Let's see how he will deal with it?"

"Jota runs towards him, and the two people cut into the penalty area from two directions! Maybe this will be a cross-position change, and the Newcastle players also think so. Shelvey follows closely behind Jota to prevent Almiron from passing the ball to Jota at close range."

"But Jota just ran past Almiron! Almiron did nothing, and Jota still didn't stop. Is it a special tactical arrangement?"

Almiron glanced at Jota's figure who continued to cut into the penalty area. He led away a central defender and a defensive midfielder to prevent himself from passing the ball directly to him. But the more determined Jota ran, the more Almiron knew that he shouldn't pass it to him!

Almiron looked diagonally in front of him-suddenly it became clear!

Almiron dribbled the ball forward! This time he dribbled a distance of three to five meters!

"Is it too far? No! Bowen cut into the penalty area!He rushed into the penalty area from the other direction and just caught Almiron's pass that seemed to be a dribble! "

"Bowen's shot at the goalkeeper! Ah! It was saved! Darlow's world-class save!"

Daro breathed a sigh of relief. He almost just made a subconscious reaction because the ball was really powerful. But the only drawback was that when Bowen faced the goal, the angle was already very small, and it was really difficult to make any particularly threatening attacks.

After the ball was saved, Benítez stood up from his seat suddenly.

"I have to make adjustments." Benítez muttered, then turned around and looked at the dark-skinned young man on the bench.

"Isaac, go! "

Isaac Hayden stood up, dusted off his down jacket, took it off, and ran to the warm-up area next to the field. Benítez didn't watch Hayden warm up. After calling Hayden, he turned around and stared at the field, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I have to control the midfield, so..." Benítez adjusted his glasses and blinked his sore eyes.

When Hayden ran onto the field, Wei Le could also feel that Newcastle United's lineup had changed, and the most important feature was that Newcastle United was still wrestling with Wolves in the midfield.

4-5-1?

Wei Le narrowed his eyes.

After Hayden came on, he replaced the attacking midfielder Diame. Diame didn't play stably in the first half of the game, and he didn't play a connecting role.

But his position was forward, and he didn't retreat actively to support, which led to Newcastle United's midfield losing control, because Newcastle United's midfield and backcourt were almost always in a disadvantageous situation of fewer players against more.

The two defensive midfielders had to face the attack of a defensive midfielder, an attacking midfielder, and two wingers or wingers of Wolves, so it was of course difficult to get the ball in the middle.
