On February 2000, 2, the Stadium of Light.

The sixth round of the FA Cup.

Williams followed behind Captain Quinn, and heaved a long sigh of relief looking at the familiar player tunnel.

Firmness can be seen in the big eyes.

came back!

I'm finally back!

Fortunately, Williams is not Chinese.

Otherwise, this kid will definitely shout: I, Hu Hansan, am back today!

During this time, Williams also thought a lot.

After all, it was the first time he had been suspended for so many games.The twelve-game suspension is too long for a 23-year-old young player.

Now finally back on the court, Williams is still very excited.

The long suspension period is finally over.From the end of November to the end of February, in the past three months, Williams could only play some training games and play the reserve team games.

Finally came back today.

And the first opponent to come back is Newcastle, the deadly enemy of the Northeast Derby.

Finally returned after three months.

Williams didn't look left and right, but looked straight ahead with firm eyes.Looking at the familiar Stadium of Light.

"Hello everyone. This is the sixth round of the FA Cup. As long as you win, you can enter the semi-finals of the FA Cup. This game itself is a Northeast Derby, which has attracted a lot of attention. And the current football In the odds list for the championship, Sunderland topped the list and Newcastle came in third."

"And Williams, who was suspended for [-] games because of pitch violence, is finally back. He entered the Sunderland squad today. His performance has also attracted people's attention. Before the suspension, Williams' performance was extremely good. Outstanding."

"When Sunderland was strong at the beginning of the season. Williams was one of Sunderland's most important core players. I just don't know what will happen to Williams after the long suspension period?"

Martin.Taylor highlighted Williams.

Indeed, Williams, who was suspended for twelve games, finally returned.

When the commentator on the scene shouted "Jack——", more than 4 fans at the Stadium of Light immediately shouted "Williams!"

"Jack—Williams!"

The cheers drowned out all voices. []

Williams' comeback was cheered by all Sunderland fans.

But Williams is still cool.

If other players heard such cheers at this time, they would definitely wave to the fans.It's like saying hello to the fans.

But Williams is not.

Williams sticks out his chest and never looks down as he walks.Not only when walking, but even when playing football, Williams rarely bows his head.They all raised their heads and kicked the ball.

Williams followed Quinn without any expression.

But Sunderland fans are used to Williams' appearance.

So don't care.

Cheers continued.

Unlike the cheers of the fans, Robson on the sidelines frowned a little.

Williams is a player no one can ignore.

The same goes for Robson.

Robson coached for decades.I have seen countless geniuses in this process.Including aliens like Ronaldo.But even so, Robson felt a little surprised when he saw Williams.

Not because of how good Williams' skills are, or how good-looking he is in the way he plays.

It's because Williams is a very good English midfielder.

The offense can go up and the defense can come back.

A true English midfielder!

In Robson's mind.The young Barry was not at the same level as Williams.I didn't expect to be so unlucky that I ran into Williams' comeback game.

Robson can only hope that Williams has just returned and hasn't found his form yet.

Unfortunately, this is just a good wish.

ban?

It has no effect on Williams' state.Even after the suspension period ended, Williams was far better than expected. []

In this game, Speed ​​and Solano were the most touched.

After Williams' suspension ended.Status one is not down.When defending, he is calmer than before.Of course, Speed ​​and Solano would not lament if they were just calm.The reason they bemoaned was that Williams was more aggressive than before.

They feel that Williams' body is better than before.

"It seems that Williams has been really suffocated in the past three months. Look at him on the field, completely sweeping the midfield like a beast just out of the cage. Solano was completely frozen by him."

Yes.

Solano, a technical player, was almost useless under Williams' marking.

"Crash - we've got Williams - crap - we've got Williams!"

England fans are like that.

Just one sentence was changed into a song by them.

Can't stop praising Williams.

Newcastle's midfield has changed a lot in a season.David.Batty and Harman all left Newcastle, Robert, who was not valued during Gullit's period.Li returned to the main position.

And a younger player came up on the right.

Keelung is 21 years old.Dyer.

Plus Speed ​​and Solano form the current main midfielder of Newcastle.

This is the first step in Robson's transformation of Newcastle.The biggest problem is that the hardness of the midfield is not enough.

Of course Su Yun would not choose a draw at home, what Su Yun wanted was a victory.

So after getting used to it for a while, Su Yun told Williams to press up.Throw all the pressure on Robert in front.Lee and Speed.

Sure enough, when Williams pressed on, the entire Newcastle felt the pressure.

Enormous pressure.

Williams' personal skills are indeed average.But after he controls the ball, although he is clumsy, it is difficult to grab it.Who made Williams have a beast-like body and solid football skills.After Williams got the ball in the frontcourt, it was very sad.

But also Speed ​​and Robert of Newcastle.It is also difficult for Lee and the others to grab the ball at Williams' feet.

In this way, Williams has more choices.

Williams' medium and long pass ability is already very strong.

Just keep the ball under control.You can split the ball beautifully to the two wingers.

The style of play is not very complicated.

Williams takes the ball and then distributes it wide.With Duff and Bellamy on the wing.Pass the ball into the penalty area again.Standing in the penalty area was Quinn, the monster who headed the ball, and Williams who inserted in the back.

This play is very simple.

But it works.

Put a lot of pressure on the Newcastle players.

Lian Keelung.Dyer and Solano both dropped back into midfield to defend.

The ball at Williams' feet is hard to break, but that's only for one or two defenders.There are more defensive players and partial siege, and Williams has nothing to do.After all, Williams does not have the skills of players like Ronaldo and Zidane.

It is possible to use superb techniques to surpass others in the siege.

Therefore, Robson chose to use the numerical advantage to defend Williams.

"Coach Robson has a long way to go?"

Su Yun looked at the situation on the field with a smile.Talk to Cotterill next to him very easily.

"Well. It's so easy to eliminate Gullit's influence."

Robson's approach is also a good one.Anyway, an away draw with Sunderland is not unacceptable from Robson's point of view.

But Su Yun would not accept a draw.

Su Yun is waiting.

Waiting for Williams to give everyone a surprise.

Williams got the ball again.Williams can get it every time not only because Williams is the core of Sunderland's midfield.Then there's the fact that Williams keeps running.

Williams' running trajectory is to cover the entire midfield.

His physical strength can satisfy this kind of running.

As soon as Williams got the ball, Newcastle's players had just taken two steps and surrounded him.Speed, Robert.Li and Solano immediately formed a small encirclement circle.Of course, Solano is actually a cover here.He just surrounded a corner.

The main defense against Williams is Speed ​​and Robert.plum.

"This kind of defense actually has a lot of loopholes. Because three people surround Williams, there will be gaps in other positions."

The approach taken by Robson has been eliminated by football early.

"However, this is because Coach Robson has seen the lifeline of Williams. Williams is a player with obvious strengths and weaknesses. The breakthrough ability is very poor, and in this position, he has almost no fatal threat. Pass."

Andy.Gray analyzes Robson for this arrangement.

If it is Ronaldo, Zidane, Rui Costa and other players.Even this kind of defense will not be so loose.One of them will stick close, the other will leave a little distance, and the last will block other breakthrough spaces.

But it's different for Williams.

Several people in Speed ​​kept a certain distance from Williams, and they forced Williams to pass the ball behind.Just don't allow Williams to comfortably pass the ball down either wing.

When Williams got the ball, don't look at three people looking at Williams, in fact, the distance between them is still very large.

They just blocked Su Yun's passing route.

Williams raised his head to look at several people, and there was no expression on his cold face.

"How will Williams choose... Judging from the current situation, the best way for Williams should be to pass the ball to Savage at the back, and Danny Mills who came up from the right."

"Williams made a pass...it wasn't a pass back, it was...the ball went into the box!"

"Phillips! Phillips got the ball...Phillips. It's a one-shot!"

"Shoot the door!"

"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!! Phillips, Phillips opened the scoring. One to zero, Sunderland leads Newcastle one to zero at home."

"It was a surprise."

"Is this a pass from Williams? Is this a pass from Williams? But it is indeed a pass from Williams. Williams made a deadly pass in the middle of a three-man double-team. Where is this Williams?" James' pass, this is Zidane's pass."
