    Twenty minutes have passed since the half of the game. During these twenty minutes, there was no conservative posture, but a back-and-forth attack. Often, as soon as an attack here ended, the attack over there immediately started.  The game unfolded at a very fast pace. Of course, under this fast pace, the mistakes of both sides also increased.

    This is the time to test the players' ability to seize opportunities. Whoever can seize the opportunity of the other party's mistake first will be able to take the lead in the next game. In this regard, Newcastle's offensive players must be outstanding.  Much more.

    In the 25th minute, Mendieta took the ball and broke through from the right. Despite Hart's entanglement, he still brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area. At this time, Makelele appeared exactly where he should be.  A light hook intercepted the ball from Mendieta's feet, and then immediately hit a long pass to the frontcourt.

    Shearer jumped high near the center circle and tipped the ball to Nie Fei, who was crossing the ball. Nie Fei immediately started to break forward after receiving the ball, and Ibrahimovic also ran beside him to prepare for the response.

    In this kind of positional battle, the weaknesses of Middlesbrough's two senior central defenders are fully exposed. They have strong frontal defensive capabilities and rich experience, but they also have a common problem with British central defenders, that is, slow turns and slow reactions!.

    :|Seeing that he has attracted the defense of the opponent's two defenders, Nie Fei moved the ball to the right while running, and then immediately passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

    Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back to the goal, pressed his body against Southgate behind him, then deftly hooked the ball behind him, and then turned around and broke through!

    Southgate¡¯s turn was a step slower.  But he immediately pressed his body against Ibrahimovic, hoping to use force to make Ibrahimovic lose his balance.

    Ibrahimovic staggered, but he quickly stabilized his center of gravity, accelerated to catch up with the ball, and volleyed in front of Schwarzer who was attacking!

    It was almost the same shot as the opening shot, but this time, Schwarzer failed to save Newcastle again!

    The ball flew past him quickly and then hit the net hard!

    "The ball went in. Newcastle took the lead to break the deadlock! A beautiful counterattack. Mak¨¦l¨¦l¨¦ made a long pass from the backcourt, Shearer headed the ball, Nie Fei made a wonderful pass after the breakthrough, and Ibrahimovic shot after a beautiful breakaway! A series of wonderful cooperation  . Newcastle¡¯s attack combination shows their power!¡±

    Mourinho stood up and raised his arms high. The goal just now was exactly his tactical idea. On the surface, Nie Fei was the attacking midfielder and Ibrahimovic was the striker.  But in fact, Newcastle's frontcourt trident is Shearer who comes forward and uses his header advantage to help Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei get in behind to create opportunities. Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei are two players with extraordinary skills and imagination.  The cooperation between them is where his confidence lies!

    After scoring, Ibrahimovic, Nie Fei and Shearer hugged each other tightly and cheered loudly to celebrate their goal!

    Nearly 20,000 Newcastle fans at the scene were also cheering loudly, and the cheers from 100,000 Newcastle fans filled the entire Newcastle!

    After taking the lead by one goal, Newcastle did not be conservative. They continued the fast pace, constant impact, and constant attack.  They have sufficient offensive manpower both on the wings and in the center. Most of the time, they only have two defenders, Woodgate and Makelele, in the backcourt to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. The other players have entered the opponent's half to face them.  The opponent's door was bombarded.

    Use offense to suppress the opponent's offense - a very tempting idea.  But not many teams can do this, at least during this period of time.  Newcastle did it.

    Faced with such an attack, Middlesbrough couldn't stand it any longer. They wanted to counterattack, but were suppressed by the opponent. The two forwards had to retreat to help defend. Under Newcastle's strong pressure, the two wings even pushed forward and became one.  This is an extravagant hope. As for forward Juninho, at least he should not think about doing anything until he gets rid of Makelele's defense.

    Although he is about the same age as Makelele, Juninho, after breaking his leg three times, is no longer the feared midfielder he was when he first landed in the Premier League, while Makelele is that kind of player.  Players who become more popular as they get older may not be able to compare with Makelele, a regular player of the Brazilian national team, Juninho Paulista, in terms of fame and strength five years ago, but now, the gap between the two has dropped completely.

    After forming a pressure on Middlesbrough, Newcastle quickly completed their second goal.

    Robert took the ball from the left, broke through to the baseline, and passed the ball to Hart, who stepped in. Hart made a long pass and hit the ball to the right. After Trabelsi took the ball, he took a step forward and then passed it across.  Nie Fei hit Nie Fei in the middle. Nie Fei stopped the ball at his feet. Facing Boateng who came up to defend, he suddenly raised his feet and it wasStraight to the feet!

    Under the cover of Trabelsi and Nie Fei, Dyer quietly ran to the corner of the penalty area. Middlesbrough's defense

    Newcastle has already lost its position in the back and forth movement and is defending him!

    Dyer took the ball one step forward, then took off his right foot and volleyed directly from the penalty area line!

    The ball drew an upward arc in the air and quickly got into the upper right corner of the goal. Schwarzer was a step too slow to react!

    "Two to zero! Newcastle showed strong offensive strength! In less than thirty-five minutes of the first half, they took a two-goal lead! Both Ibrahimovic and Dyer's shots were wonderful! Now Mi  Delsburg is facing a difficult situation! ¡±

    McLaren was obviously dissatisfied with this situation. After conceding the second goal, he jumped up from the coaching bench angrily and kept shouting on the court. He was angrily until the fourth official came to stop him.  Return to your seat.

    McLaren was mentally prepared for being scored by the opponent, but it was really unbearable for him to have no achievements in the offense - Middlesbrough itself is not very good at quick counterattacks, but they used the Premier League's  It is a rare traditional technical attack style, but now McLaren can't see that the team that is being pressed on the field has any trace of technical flow.

    After taking a two-goal lead, Newcastle slowed down their offensive pace and began to put the game into their own orbit. Through this season, Mourinho has given his players a strong ability to read the game. Coupled with his on-the-spot command,  He believes that there are not many teams in the Premier League that can control the game better than Newcastle, at least Middlesbrough does not fall into this range.

    Although Mourinho sent out the vast majority of offensive players in this game, being good at offense does not mean that they cannot defend. In fact, powerful players like Trabelsi and Hart who are already quite young have already  It's starting to become more balanced between offense and defense, but their offense is more conspicuous than their defense. The phenomenon of excellent offense but a mess in defense usually occurs with young players. As they get older, they will gradually know how to strengthen their defense.  It is also very important - Baggio is not only offensive in Brescia, but sometimes also has to bear part of the defensive responsibility.

    Using his speed and physical fitness, Trabelsi was unable to defend Zenden. Trabelsi was no worse than him in terms of speed and body, and the current Zenden is not the one who stood out in the 1998 World Cup.  He was a bright rookie, but he actually went downhill after 1998, otherwise Chelsea wouldn't have loaned him out.

    On the contrary, Mendieta on the right performed well in this game. The former Spain international, whose condition declined completely after moving to Lazio, performed well after moving to Middlesbrough.  With his all-around midfield style in Valencia and the Spanish national team, Hart's defense is also relatively good. Although he cannot completely defend Mendieta's breakthrough, it limits his threat to a certain extent.

    Middlesbrough's two forwards were beaten to death by Newcastle's two central defenders with speed and strength. Maccarone also grabbed several headers, while Jobe, except for the opening header,  He disappeared from the field outside the hanging door.

    After a few more back-and-forth attacks, the first half was over. Newcastle gained a considerable advantage in the first half. The two-goal lead was enough for them to face the game more easily in the second half.

    The Newcastle players entered the tunnel chatting and laughing. Some of the players who were in a good mood even applauded the Newcastle fans in the stands, while the Middlesbrough players ran in quickly with their heads lowered.  The player tunnel - even people who don't know the score will understand that Middlesbrough's situation is not good when they see this scene.

    "We experienced a wonderful first half." Mourinho couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he said this - after all, if he wins this championship, it will not only be Newcastle's first official game in thirty-three years.  It was also his first championship after returning to Europe. It would be a lie to say he was not excited - but the reaction of the players was much more exciting. Mourinho also had a smile on his face when he saw it.  After they started to smile, they all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Weird sounds like "plop" kept ringing in the locker room.

    After all, Mourinho is not deep enough. At least the past few years in China have made his character more cheerful. Seeing the players like this, he couldn't help but smile, waved his hand and said: "  Okayyou can laugh if you want, it doesn't matter if it's louder, anyway, our dressing room is far away from Middlesbrough's dressing room, and we are not afraid of being said that we don't respect our opponents."

    The head coach spoke, how could the players still bear it?Immediately, cheerful laughter filled the entire locker room.

    Pei Wei sat in the corner and watched this scene with a smile, strong self-confidence filling his chest.
