    The ball came down to Makelele, and Essien in front of him immediately started to move forward. Nie Fei had moved to the center, Ribery started sprinting on the left, and Maicon on the right was also inserting at high speed.  superior!

    "It's now!" Mourinho clenched his fists.

    This is the perfect quick counterattack in his mind. It is layered and directional. There are people on the side and in the middle to support him. Even if he fails to succeed, he can still switch to a positional battle and use back and forth maneuvers to distract the opponent's defenders.  Tired of running for their lives

    He is even more familiar with it than Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic. He knows that Ribery is not just a wide player, he is a standard modern full midfielder-can hit the ball, can break through and organize  .

    One core can be targeted, and two cores can also be controlled, but what if there are three cores?  Not many teams can control the opponent's three offensive cores at one go, not to mention that when Newcastle has three players who can take on the responsibility of organizing the offense, then their tactics will not be limited to a small team.  Instead, it becomes more flexible and more elusive.

    Just like now.

    Makelele did not let the ball stay at his feet for long, and immediately hit Essien with a direct pass. Essien did not stop the ball and quickly passed the ball to Nie Fei near the center circle.

    ? .&.Moving forward, Ribery ran towards him, and the two of them crossed and changed positions.  At the moment when the two changed positions, Ribery kicked the ball horizontally to Maicon who was inserted on the right.

    Maicon took a step forward after receiving the ball, and then immediately made a wide-range transfer and passed the ball to the left!

    Nie Fei, who was running without the ball, had already advanced a long distance. After beautifully unloading the ball that spanned the entire half, Nie Fei began to move forward with the ball!

    After several quick passes back and forth, Valencia's defense was stretched to pieces, and Fei smashed the ball back beautifully under Moretti's defense.  Then he took off and passed the ball into the penalty area!

    When Ibrahimovic picked up the ball in the penalty area, Ayala stuck to him. Despite the huge gap in height, the Argentine defender was not afraid of it!

    But Ibrahimovic is so much bigger after all.  You can protect the ball with a slight movement of your body. It is obviously unwise to let a big man with such excellent foot skills hold the ball for too long in the penalty area. Marchena moved a step over, intending to flank Ibrahimovic.  Anyway, Ibrahimovic's back is turned to Shearer, so he should not be able to see the passing route.

    At this moment, Ibrahimovic suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and passed the ball in front of Shearer!

    Marchena was shocked - how did he know that Shearer was behind him?  It's absolutely impossible to see it from this angle.  And he didn't look back

    Of course Ibrahimovic does not have eyes on the back of his head, nor does he have such a tacit understanding with Shearer that he can know that Shearer is behind him.  It was entirely because Nie Fei shouted to him in a low voice: "Behind. Five meters!"

    He and Nie Fei were in the same team for a year.  The two have a good personal relationship, although Ibrahimovic is not a language genius.  But I can still understand a few simple words, which resulted in this seemingly incredible assist!

    Shearer volleyed before Marchena could return to defense. Faced with this close shot, Canizares had nothing to do!

    "One to zero! Newcastle scored the first goal in just two minutes, a beautiful quick counterattack!"

    "It's unbelievable! Newcastle already showed the power of their quick counterattack in last season's Champions League, but Valencia had no defense against it! What is Ranieri doing?"

    "Another wonderful combination of Newcastle's front three! This offensive combination was invincible in last season's Champions League and accounted for most of Newcastle's goals. However, the performance since the beginning of this season has not been so good, but since that moment just now  We saw in the goal that the power of this trident has not diminished! "

    Countless commentators expressed their opinions on this goal in various languages. Ranieri shook his head in annoyance. It was not that he did not notice the opponent's quick counterattack. In fact, before the game, he  Great efforts have been made in this regard, but compared with last season, the quality of Newcastle's counterattack seems to have gone up to a higher level!

    "Damn, didn't they perform well in the league?" Ranieri thought bitterly in his heart.

    It seems that I was a little careless. Their outstanding performance last season was not accidental. It is necessary to focus on them.

    Thinking like this, Ranieri completely forgot about the other two people who played an important role in this attack. Ribery's passing ball and Maicon's well-timed long pass were the two.

    The cornerstone of attack.

    "ValenciaAsia's defense should be very strong. Why did it get worse after Ranieri, the Italian coach, came?  "Pei Wei asked with some doubts.

    Mourinho smiled: "It's not that their defense has become worse, but that our offense has become stronger Of course, this goal also brought a bit of luck. They pressed a little higher, and our counterattack  very efficient."

    ***************************************

    Conceding the goal in the first two minutes is something that has rarely happened in Valencia before. They have always been the strongest defensive team in La Liga, whether it was the Cooper era or the Benitez era. After conceding the ball, they  There was a brief panic, but with a strong team background, they quickly stabilized their emotions and began to launch a fierce counterattack.

    Vicente and Rufit on the two wings looked very active. Maicon's defensive ability was indeed not as good as his offense. Although he also performed very well in one-on-one with Vicente, it still allowed him to  The other party got a lot of opportunities.

    However, although Valencia had a certain advantage on the wing, it was unable to turn the advantage into a victory. Aimar in the middle was unable to escape from the guard of Essien, who was faster and stronger than himself. The two defensive midfielders  His forward penetration was blocked by Makelele, and he had to worry about Nie Fei's breakthrough in the middle. As a single arrow, Diwayo seemed to have not been able to integrate into the team. He could not get rid of Kufuor's marking and could not cooperate with his teammates.  The attack directly led to Valencia's seemingly lively attack, but it did not pose much of a threat to the gate guarded by Cech. The few long-range shots were easily confiscated by Cech.

    On the contrary, Newcastle played with ease. A one-goal lead allowed them to counterattack comfortably, using the speed and skills of the frontcourt players to give Valencia a headache - in many games last season  This is how Newcastle United played, and they were very good at counterattacking like this.

    Now Valencia is in a very embarrassing situation. The offense cannot open up the situation, and the opponent's counterattack threatens its goal at any time. It is only one goal behind, and it is not forced to press heavily - this game  , the fight must be as awkward as it is.

    The first half ended due to Valencia's awkwardness and Newcastle's counterattacks from time to time. It was not that Newcastle had no chance to press Valencia, but Valencia's defense became extremely good when faced with field attacks.  , the entire defense line was well organized, making it difficult for Newcastle's offense to form a shot. Instead, they used this opportunity to hit several counterattacks, but fortunately they were destroyed one by one by Cech.

    When Aimar¡¯s long shot from outside the penalty area flew over the crossbar, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. With a counterattack at the beginning of the game, Newcastle entered the locker room with a 1-0 lead.

    "We are in the lead, so gratifying." When the players arranged their clothes and rested for ten minutes, Mourinho spoke. As soon as he spoke, the originally noisy locker room immediately became quiet.

    "Many people think that the Super Cup is the last warm-up match before the official start of the league, but I don't think so. The Premier League has already started its fourth round, and we don't need to wait until now to warm up This is an honor.  , and it is a very important honor. Last year we were the champions of the European Cup, we were the European champions, but for Valencia, they can also consider themselves European champions because they are the champions of the UEFA Cup.  So who was the real king of Europe last season, the real winner of this game?¡±

    Mourinho waved his arms: "So, now let us use the victory in this game to prove to everyone that Newcastle was the well-deserved king and well-deserved champion of Europe last season! What kind of UEFA Cup champion, give the Champions League  We are the champions of Europe last season!¡±

    Some players waved their arms and roared. Mourinho's words deeply moved them. Yes, we were the Champions League champions last season, but at the same time there was another champion in Europe - the UEFA Cup champion. Only by defeating  Only then can they prove that they were the best team in Europe last season and deserved to be the king of kings!

    "Let's go! There are still forty-five minutes! After forty-five minutes, our name will remain in history, proving to everyone that the 2003-04 season belongs to Newcastle!"

    The players stood up and roared with their fists raised. Pei Wei, who was standing at the door, opened the door. Mourinho pointed to the door in unison: "Let's go, my warriors!"
