Chapter 638 The Devil's Schedule: Bird Shooting ([-])
After taking the lead, Tottenham continued to put pressure on Newcastle in the half, hoping to take advantage of the momentum of the goal to take advantage of the victory and inflict heavy damage on the opponent again.

However, after Newcastle conceded the ball, they once again resorted to the magic weapon of comprehensive defense. It is impossible for Tottenham to break through the midfield defense line as quickly as before, and the situation between the two sides became stalemate again.

The time of the first half quickly passed in the fierce competition between the two sides for the midfield.When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, although the Tottenham players regretted not being able to expand the score, they were still in the lead after all, and walked briskly into the locker room with a smile on their faces.

Newcastle have faced the situation of falling behind in the first half many times this season, not to mention only one goal behind, they are not completely powerless to fight back, and there are many opportunities to equalize the score in the second half.So there was not much frustration on their faces, and they ran back to the locker room as quickly, and accepted the head coach's tactical adjustments while resting.

"We will continue to attack in the second half! Don't get too entangled with the opponent in the midfield, play more behind the ball, and don't be afraid of passing the ball! As long as we seize one opportunity, we will win this game!"

Once Redknapp entered the dressing room, he set the tone for Tottenham's tactical strategy in the second half.Now the team leads 1:0 and has a certain advantage on the scene, but the advantage of one goal is not safe. Tottenham must use their best offense to score again and seal the victory as soon as possible.

The Tottenham players had no objection and all nodded.

In the locker room of the home team, Magpies coach Alan Pardew was also encouraging his disciples and explaining what the team needs to pay attention to in the second half.As for the fact that in the second half of the first half, the team got too excited to play against Tottenham and conceded a goal, Alan Pardew didn't mention a word.

"Tottenham's offensive ability is indeed very strong. You have already experienced this in the first half. Of course, we are not bad, at least we are not without the strength to counterattack. In the second half, we still adhere to the tactics of defensive counterattack. They We will definitely continue to actively seek opportunities to score goals, and when they press hard, there will inevitably be a gap behind them. At this time, our chance has come..."

Alan Pardue didn't say all the words, but the meaning of the words has been fully revealed.Alan Pardew asked his team to continue to defend in an all-round way, and then took advantage of the opponent's transition from offense to defense and then had no time to return to defense, using quick counterattacks to create good scoring opportunities.

The Newcastle players also know that there is still a certain gap between their own strength and Tottenham's. They can only do what they like in the attack and ask for a dead end. The lesson of conceding a goal in the first half has made them soberly recognize the reality.Therefore, for the head coach's arrangement, they are now 100% obedient, and they dare not to obey and obey with enthusiasm.

The 15 minutes of halftime passed quickly and silently. When the two teams set foot on the field again, the fans and commentators clearly saw that the lineups of both sides had not been changed. Both managers are satisfied with the performance of the players on the pitch.

"The 15-minute break in halftime has passed, and the two sides have not made personnel adjustments." The commentator's voice came from the radio, "The current score is 0:1, and the visiting team Tottenham Hotspur is leading. As we all know, Tottenham is a team known for its strong offensive ability. A one-goal lead obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of the Assassins. In the second half, Tottenham will definitely continue to increase their offensive intensity, and whether Newcastle can withstand the opponent's attack Onslaught will be the key to the outcome of this game!"

"Okay, the referee blows the whistle to start the second half... the kick-off is the Spurs player... oops, van der Vaart kicked the ball with his heel to Modric, the Croatian raised his foot to pass the ball Now... Mo is cutting in at high speed from the wing... This is the lightning fast break that Tottenham are best at. Did they want to use this method to give the Magpies a fatal blow from the very beginning? It is incredible..."

Accompanied by the exclamation of the commentator, more than 3000 pairs of eyes were staring nervously at the stadium.

Tottenham really wanted to play a lightning raid at the beginning, even if they couldn't score a goal, they could still put tremendous pressure on the opponent.Therefore, Modric made a long pass as soon as he received the ball.He didn't look up. After more than a season of cooperation, Modric and Murphy have established a tacit understanding. He knows that as long as his long pass does not make major mistakes, that person will definitely be able to control the football.

Sure enough, the moment Modric received the ball, Could it be that he had already advanced along the sidewalk at high speed.By the time the football flew into the air, Mo Fei had already started rushing towards the landing point.

Modric's pass was just right in advance, and the landing point was also good, and it also had a bit of spin.When the football landed, it was actually very close to Newcastle's left-back Simpson, but just as Simpson was about to take the first step to clear the football, the ball bounced back because of the spin, and Simpson kicked empty and lost the ball. center of gravity.

And with just such a flash of God's gap, could it be that he had already reached the gap at high speed, and the football was easily slid, and the man and the ball got rid of Simpson in an instant.Immediately afterwards, Mo Fei's footsteps were connected with an extremely fast change of direction, and he was about to cut inside from the baseline.

"Oh... cut in! Dangerous! Magpies, be careful. If Mo is allowed to enter the penalty area, everyone will know that it is basically the same as a death sentence!" The on-site commentator screamed.

"Paste it! Stop him! Don't give him a chance to kick!" Alan Pardue's face was serious, he waved his hands and shouted at the players on the field, looking anxious, it seemed that he wanted to rush into the field to shoot Don't be defensive.

In fact, there is no need for the head coach to signal, the Newcastle players also know what serious consequences will be caused by letting Mo Fei enter the penalty area.The two central defenders, Coloccini and Taylor, rushed towards Murphy quickly before Simpson lost his center of gravity. When Mofei just dialed the ball to change direction and prepared to cut inside, the two stood in front of Murphy like a thick wall. Let it not advance an inch.

There was a slight upward arc on the corner of Mo Fei's mouth.In fact, when he passed Simpson, he noticed the approach of the two central defenders. He could take the ball back and bypass the two defenders. Once the line of defense is organized, it will be very difficult to break through.

So Could Fei simply follow his plan and let the two central defenders stand close to him.

Seeing that his goal of attracting the opponent's defensive center of gravity had been achieved, he didn't hesitate, and quickly kicked the football at the bottom. The football was like an obedient elf, and in the astonishment of the two, he sprinted through Coloccini's wicket. But passed, rolled to the middle of the restricted area.

Mo Fei knew very well that the two central defenders were brought to the edge of the penalty area by him, and the defense in the middle must be wide open. As long as his teammates can keep up, then a threatening shot is inevitable.

As for whether his teammates can keep up, he is very confident. They have been working together for nearly two seasons, and everyone has mastered this routine.What's more, the head coach strictly ordered the whole team to follow up and cooperate with him, so he didn't worry about whether his teammates would catch up. At most, he only worried about whether his teammates could grab this point.

Sure enough, when the football rolled near the penalty spot, a white figure rushed into the penalty area without hindrance, and pushed the football towards it.

Following up with Van der Vaart, he saw that there was no defense around him. To be on the safe side, he pushed a far corner with the arch of his foot.The shot wasn't quick, but the angle was tricky enough to roll into the goal before the keeper moved back from the close corner.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Van der Vaart's shot rolled towards the far corner unhurriedly, and the goalkeeper Harper had no time to turn around to save it. He could only watch the football like a naughty elf, jumping and rolling towards the goal.

And just when the football was about to hit the net, an accident happened—a black and white figure suddenly shoveled towards it, hooking the football back from the goal line with its long legs!
"Goal in... eh? No goal! Who is it? Who saved the Magpies!?" The commentators on the scene were about to cheer for Tottenham's second goal, but "the goal was scored" hadn't had time After saying it completely, I had to swallow the cheers back into my stomach, replaced by bursts of screams, "Oh, oh, No. 3! It's No. 3! The talented young player from Italy—Al San... Don! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooion

The fans of the home team in the stands let out an overwhelming cheer, while the fans of the visiting team let out a sigh of regret.

The look on Van der Vaart's face froze instantly. He had raised his hands to celebrate the goal just now, but Thornton's sudden attack completely dispelled his joy. It felt like A cooked duck was about to be put into the mouth, but was snatched away abruptly. The discomfort was no less than that of eating a fly.

Just when everyone was stunned, Thornton, who is known as the future top ten leaders of Italian football, was not stunned. He quickly got up and kicked the football hooked under his feet towards the midfield. Captain Alan Smith Just in that direction.

Fight back!Fight back quickly!
When the Tottenham players realized that something was wrong and prepared to return to the defense quickly, Alan Smith had already received the football.He took a few steps forward, used his speed to get rid of Modric's pressing, and then pushed the ball to Demba Ba diagonally ahead.

At this moment, Tottenham's backcourt was heavily pressed and the gap was wide open. Demba Ba quickly slammed the ball towards the Tottenham penalty area.This time Gallas and Ledley King did not make a mistake in cooperation. The two looked at each other, and Gallas rushed out of the penalty area and stuck to the Senegalese striker.

Facing Gala's close pressing, Demba Ba continued to shake, made several fake shots with his right foot, and finally found a space to kick his foot, and he kicked his foot towards the football without hesitation.

Gala knew that the opponent was really going to hit the football this time, so he stretched out his feet to block in a panic.

But what surprised him was that Demba Ba's raised right foot did not hit the football as hard as expected, but gently pushed towards the center with the inside of his foot - Alan Smith didn't notice it in Galla At that time, he rushed to the middle, and the football that came back to meet his teammates was a heavy cannonball. The football rushed towards the goal with a roar like a cannonball. Neuer was completely unresponsive by the heavy cannon. When he turned his head, the football had already landed in the net.

1:1!Relying on a quick counterattack opportunity, the Magpies captain Alan Smith helped the home team equalize with a shocking heavy shot.

The entire St. James' Park stadium was quiet. Not only the fans of the visiting team were dumbfounded, but even the fans of the Magpies couldn't recover.This time the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition was too fast. In the first minute, Tottenham was still galloping in the home team's half, and almost scored a goal. Then, in the next minute, Newcastle blasted the football into Tottenham's goal, equalizing score.

This...is it too fast?
