    After passing the ball to Kufuor's backcourt, Nie Fei used his speed and skills to play around with the veteran left back Delmot. Delmot is rich in experience, but at the age of 34, he must be faster.  It cannot be compared with Nie Fei, a Mesozoic who combines speed, skill and dexterity. His mind can keep up, but his body cannot.

    Essien quickly ran over to help defend. Nie Fei was waiting for this moment. When Essien rushed toward him, he immediately kicked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot. Janas from the back row quickly stepped in.  , received the ball in the penalty area!

    As soon as he stopped the ball, Essien ran back quickly and stuck to him. His speed surprised Fei behind him, but Janas himself was quite strong, so he managed to hold him back and then split the ball.  It was given to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic once again passed the ball to the back point. Viduka beat Edmilson with a header and the ball was saved by Kupe.

    Lyon immediately launched a counterattack. Diarra passed the ball straight to Malouda in front. Malouda took the ball and broke through from the side. Kufuor followed him closely. Seeing that there was no chance of breakthrough, Malouda  Da immediately made an emergency stop and then passed the ball across to Elber on the edge of the penalty area. Elber forced a gap under the defense of compatriot Lucio and then shot. The ball was steadily taken by Given.  live.

    "Do you want to play fast break with us? You can't be so stupid, right?" Mourinho thought with some surprise. The Premier League is famous for its fast pace, while the French Ligue 1's playing style is relatively slow, but now Le Guin actually uses  The most accustomed way of playing for Premier League teams is to deal with Newcastle. What is this if it's not a slap in the face?

    Mourinho soon overturned his opinion. Being able to lead Lyon, who had never won the Ligue 1 title before, to win two consecutive French Ligue 1 titles, Le Guin is definitely not an ordinary person.  Then it is very questionable that he adopts this tactic.

    At this time, the Newcastle players launched another attack on the field. After a few quick passes, the ball fell to Robert's feet. The French winger beautifully broke through the opponent under the defense of Defried and crossed into the penalty area. Kak¨¢  Pa stubbornly destroyed his pass out of the baseline, Nie Fei took a corner kick, and Kupe grabbed the ball over Woodgate's head.

    Kupe throws the ball.  Essien took the ball a few steps forward and passed it to Juninho.  Makelele's attack was very timely, intercepting the ball in front of Juninho, and then immediately passed it diagonally to Nie Fei who was running up!.

    &.go ahead.  Essien appeared in front of him again, fell to the ground and made a beautiful tackle to scoop the ball out.

    "This guy's reaction is so fast!" Mourinho beat the lawn regretfully: "Nie Fei showed up just after receiving the ball Damn it, isn't he afraid of running out of energy? He's running so hard now.  Can you still run in the second half?"

    "Don't underestimate him." Pei Wei said leisurely from the side: "This guy's physical ability is simply different from ordinary people! Do you know that this is how he was described in the report given to me by my scout? He plays every official game every day.  He's capable! This little run is just a joke. This guy is like a buffalo."

    "Are you kidding?" Mourinho looked at Pei Wei in surprise: "Look at the range of his running on the field! Look at how keenly he appears in front of the ball! This defensive awareness combined with this physical fitness  ¡­Is there such a defensive midfielder in the world?¡±

    "There are not many such people, but there are still some Never underestimate the physical ability and potential of black people." Pei Wei smiled bitterly: "Michael Essien is such a person."

    The shoveled ball rolled to the feet of Janas. He immediately took the ball forward and passed Nie Fei and Essien who were still entangled on the ground. When he saw Diarra rushing towards him, he immediately passed the ball through  , handed it to Viduka in front.

    Viduka used his body to support the defender behind him, and secretly pushed the ball sideways. Ibrahimovic next to him caught the ball and broke into the penalty area to hit the goal. However, this shot seemed a bit low-level.  The ball flew directly out of the baseline, and the fans sighed in the stands.

    Since the opening, Newcastle's offense has always seemed a bit unsmooth, mainly to prevent the opponent's counterattack.  The two full-backs sent by Mourinho are players whose defensive ability is higher than their offensive ability, especially on the right.  Mourinho originally wanted to let Nie Fei provoke attacks from the center and right, but Nie Fei seemed less active under Essien's defense, so most of Newcastle's offense was concentrated on the left.  Although Robert's performance is still outstanding, it is difficult to tear open the opponent's defense just relying on the attack from the left.

    After consideration, Mourinho decided not to make adjustments. He believed in his team's offensive ability. Although Nie Fei, the frontcourt organizer, was targeted by Essien, he also attracted most of Essien's attention.  energy, and Lyon's defense is not that good. The combination of two Brazilian central defenders will definitely not be so stable, not to mention that Newcastle's midfield organization not only relies on flying?

    , Ibrahimovic's retracement can also have an effect.

    Mourinho passed this instruction to the court when there was a dead ball. Ibrahimovic immediately began to withdraw from the penalty area, leaving Viduka alone to contain the opponent's penalty area, and Nie Fei also began to steadily stay on the right.  Road to attract Essien's attention.

    Next, Newcastle's offense was much smoother. Ibrahimovic continued to use his passes in the middle to create killing opportunities for other players. Viduka's body was a great threat to Lyon, and Robert and Janas's  Taking turns to attack also made Lyon's defense feel a little concerned about one thing and the other.

    In the 23rd minute, Ibrahimovic shook off Diarra's defense in the middle, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area. When he saw a defender rushing towards him, he immediately passed it to Robert, and then he went left  Road ran away, Robert immediately handed the ball back to him. Ibrahimovic forced a breakthrough from the bottom line. Seeing that Viduka was under the defense of two defenders, he made a pick pass and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area. Jenas inserted  He shot the ball directly without stopping. Essien rushed from the side and blocked the ball with his body.

    "Kicking observation." Mourinho nodded secretly. When Ibrahimovic broke through, Essien was still guarding Nie Fei on the right, but he quickly made the correct judgment and left Nie Fei behind to defend in the middle.  Janus - If he hadn't moved over, Diarra would have been attracted to the left just now. There would be a blank space at the front of Lyon's penalty area, and Janus's insertion would pose a direct threat to the goal.

    But what about now?  The ball was blocked from the sideline and was just a foul ball.

    Five minutes later, Newcastle made a comeback. This time Nie Fei participated in the attack, dribbling the ball forward continuously on the right, attracting Essien to the bottom line before passing the ball out. Ibrahimovi? didn't stop the ball and directly poked the ball to him.  Viduka was in the penalty area, and his shot from a small angle was blocked by Kupe.

    It seemed that Essien had nothing to do with the defense this time, but when Viduka shot, he had already run horizontally from the baseline to the back of the goal. If Viduka shot from the far corner and Kupe failed to save it, Essien would  Xin is fully capable of completing a clearance in front of the goal.

    Mourinho frowned tightly.

    "Have you noticed?" Pei Wei said in his ear: "He has done these few runs at almost a sprint speed Unless their head coach only lets him be responsible for the first half of the game, otherwise  No coach would use a defensive core like this, which only proves that his physical fitness is enough for him to complete the entire game with such a running frequency. "

    "That's terrible." Mourinho couldn't help but say. Of course he understood what this meant - if an ordinary professional player ran a distance of 9,000 meters in a 90-minute game  If it is normal and qualified, then exceeding 10,000 meters proves that he has played more than one role on the field. Just like the South Korean team in the World Cup, their strength is not strong, but every player runs  The distance of 13,000 meters is enough for them to equal the technical gap between themselves and their opponents!

    Even the Korean players cannot complete a ninety-minute intense game at almost sprint speed in the World Cup. If Essien can do this, he can be used as two people on the court.

    "If that's the case, I almost understand what Le Guin's idea is." Mourinho said slowly: "Under such a fast-paced back-and-forth attack, whoever makes fewer mistakes will be able to master it."  Taking the lead, with a meat grinder like Essien, we are naturally more likely to make mistakes But he seems to have forgotten that we also have a meat grinder like Makelele in the midfield, maybe his speed  He is not as good physically as Essien, but he has more experience. In the midfield, he is our most trustworthy person.¡±

    "If we continue to attack like this, if we are defeated by the Ligue 1 team using the way Premier League teams are most accustomed to playing, then we will not need to participate in the Champions League, because it proves that we do not have the strength Will it disrupt the game? Fight?  We are not afraid of random battles!¡±

    Mourinho's confidence is justified. In all Newcastle's games since the beginning of this season, apart from goalkeeper Given, the one who has played the most time is not the top scorer Shearer, nor the two organizers Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic.  , not the center backs Lucio and Woodgate, but the 29-year-old midfielder Makelele. Although he basically does not participate in the offense, he is able to use his running and stealing abilities in the penalty area.  The frontline builds a wall so that the frontcourt players can participate in the attack without any worries. Even if the attack continues like this, even if he makes a lot of mistakes, but Mourinho has this confidence, the opponent will definitely make more mistakes.
