    Newcastle's next league game is against Aston Villa at home on April 2, and the last FIFA match day was on March 29 - excluding one day of return time, Newcastle's concentration is actually  It was March 30th, only two days before the competition.

    Newcastle's sprint started from such a situation.

    Based on the physical fitness and condition of the players, Mourinho sent out such a lineup, with goalkeeper Cech, four defenders including Maicon, Dawson, Kufuor and Bernard, and midfielder Essien partnered with Janas.  Playing as a double midfielder, Ribery still appears in the left midfield position. Right midfielder Nie Fei takes a rest. He is not even included in the game's squad. Dyer plays. The forwards are partnered by Shearer and Drogba. Five players on the bench  The people are Given, Taylor, Stewart, Larson and the seventeen-year-old Lennon!

    This is the first time this season that Mourinho has deployed players other than the twenty-four first-team players in the roster, although due to player fatigue and an important Champions League quarter-final three days later, Mourinho  Auxue hides many players who feel tired in the national team competition, but Lennon showed his outstanding ability on the right in the training camp some time ago, which is also a big factor.

    Dyer has played very few games this season, and his condition has not been very good. As a result, the only trustworthy person on the right side of Newcastle is Nie Fei, and Nie Fei is not a tough guy. He needs to take a break when he  There is a player who can step up at any time, and the young Lennon is obviously more suitable for this position than Dyer.

    Newcastle's opponent Aston Villa also formed a 442 formation, with Newcastle's old player Solano sitting on the bench.

    If Pei Wei¡¯s memory was better.  He should remember the period of history before he was reborn.  It was during this game that Newcastle broke out in a scandal involving Bowyer and Dyer fighting each other on the field.  It's just that this scene will never appear again. Although Dyer played in this game, he has gradually become a substitute for Newcastle. As for Bowyer, after the transfer and departure, Newcastle fans quickly forgot about this.  The guy who keeps causing trouble.

    The game was played with huge cheers from Newcastle fans, but they were disappointed.  Newcastle, who were at home, did not show their huge ranking advantage over their opponents at the beginning of the game.

    Newcastle are currently ranked first in the standings.  The points reached 83, while Aston Villa ranked 11th with only 38 points, which is more than half of Newcastle's points.  However, they have been much less affected by the FIFA virus than Newcastle. There are only six international players in total. They only have goalkeeper Sorensen, defender Melberg, midfielder Gareth Barry and forward Angel playing with the national team.  They played in the game, so even though it was an away game, they had an advantage in terms of physical fitness.

    Taking advantage of their physical advantage, Aston Villa controlled the situation at the beginning of the game with fierce fighting and running without hesitation.  Newcastle players are relatively tired.  The second is that he was afraid of getting hurt, and was suddenly at a disadvantage.

    The game started only five minutes ago.  Aston Villa's right back Delani successfully broke through despite Bernard's defense and passed a beautiful cross. Janas, who returned to defense, made a hasty clearance and did not kick the ball far. Instead, he passed the ball  When the ball was kicked in front of Angel, the Colombian striker naturally would not miss this opportunity. He took the ball forward and immediately took a shot. The ball flew into the blind corner of the goal, and Cech's save was beyond his reach.

    "Aston Villa scored! Angel keenly caught the opponent's mistake! One to zero, Aston Villa surprisingly led Newcastle at St. James Park!"

    Mourinho shook his head off the court. Such mistakes are sometimes unavoidable. Besides, it can't be regarded as a big mistake. It's just that Angel happened to appear in that place¡ª¡ªonce with Saviola.  Angel, who formed River Plate's feared trident with Aimar, has not performed very well since landing in the Premier League. This goal was full of too much chance.

    "Hold on! Put the ball up in the midfield and don't let their interceptions disrupt your position! Pass the ball too much. No matter how fast a person runs, he can't be as fast as the ball! Do you understand? Don't use your so-called excellent skills.  If you don¡¯t want to get hurt, don¡¯t carry the ball at your feet!¡±

    Under the command of Mourinho, Newcastle players began to stabilize their position and launch a counterattack, and Aston Villa also adjusted their tactics in a timely manner and began to defend and counterattack.

    Although Newcastle quickly stabilized their position from the opponent's full-court press, they encountered a lot of trouble offensively. Although Aston Villa is a mid-to-lower team, their defense is still quite good.  Although the good defense line composed of Laursen and Mellberg is not agile enough, it is quite good in high-altitude ball and confrontation. When focusing on defense,??Their strengths can just be brought out.

    Newcastle's offense encountered strong resistance, and Aston Villa did not stick to the penalty area. Under the leadership of captain Gareth Barry, their interceptions in the midfield were also extremely fierce, although Newcastle paid attention to the speed.  The ball was released and moved back and forth in a wide range, but the error rate of this style of play was very high. In addition, the players were somewhat out of shape due to fatigue, so the offense also encountered a lot of trouble.

    In the following games, Newcastle took a lot of shots, but not many that could really threaten the opponent's goal. The two most threatening shots all came from outside the penalty area, namely Ribery and Shearer.  Two long-range shots, but Ribery's shot was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Sorensen. Shearer's shot unfortunately hit the crossbar. Drogba's supplementary shot was saved by Laursen in the goal.  Online rescue.

    Newcastle's players did not perform very well in the first half. Janas appeared to be working hard on the court, but he was unable to help offensively. Dyer even disappeared on the right, leaving only Li  Berry playing alone on the wing naturally cannot put too much pressure on the opponent's goal, and it is difficult for the two centers to get too many opportunities in the overcrowded penalty area.

    The first half of the game ended. Newcastle, which had won five consecutive games before, unexpectedly trailed 11th-placed Aston Villa 0-1 at home. Newcastle fans naturally seemed a little disappointed with this result, but they were still in the game.  They were given warm applause when they came off the field because they believed that Newcastle had not let them down in the past two seasons and would not let them down this time.

    "We didn't play well in the first half, I'm well aware of the difficulties we faced, and I know most of you players are already tired but that's not an excuse, we are a team that wants to win all the titles.  The team should not be defeated by this difficulty Well, Aston Villa is not our opponent. Although they caused enough trouble for us in the first half, they played more patiently during the game and went back and forth.  "Move, don't be afraid of mistakes, let their defense expose holes in the constant movement, the two forwards can move outside the penalty area, and then the two full midfielders change positions in the penalty area and use speed to deal with their two central defenders."

    Looking at the players, Mourinho showed a smile with strong confidence: "Work hard, the victory will belong to us, because we are"

    "Newcastle!" The players responded in unison what he wanted to say.

    "Kierron." After arranging the tactics, Mourinho asked the players to do their own thing, then walked to Dyer who was in a daze and patted him on the shoulder: "You have to play better in the second half to impact them.  On the left, our offense mainly comes from both wings, and Frank alone cannot make the Magpies fly. "

    Dale was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "I willBoss."

    Mourinho nodded and walked away. After sitting down, he looked at Dyer from a distance who still seemed a little distracted and shook his head gently.

    Dyer is indeed a capable player, otherwise he would not be often selected for the England national team, but his performance this season is not that good, and Nie Fei's performance is very good, rarely injured and in good condition  , I hope his condition will not decline quickly due to fewer games.

    This game is an opportunity for Dyer, it depends on whether he can seize it.

    If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I can only replace him with the youngster Lennon. After all, for this game, Lennon can be regarded as a surprise player. The opponent does not understand his situation. If the right winger starts the second half,  If the offense is still the same as in the first half, I can only replace him in order to win the game.  "The second half has begun! There are no substitutions on either side! If Aston Villa did not make substitutions because they did perform well enough in the first half, then it is a bit puzzling that Newcastle did not make substitutions Newcastle has a few  The players were completely out of form in the first half of the game, but head coach Mourinho really had no candidates to replace. He chose to believe in his players. Now let us see whether the decision he made was correct.  Bar."

    Lineker said into the microphone, and Lawrenson laughed next to him: "Mourinho probably hates FIFA The two national team matches last week almost took away his players.  . It is said that in more than a week, Mourinho has transferred more than a dozen reserve team players to the first team to participate in training. It is obvious that the FIFA virus has had a great impact on them. "

    "If April's game is a marathon for Newcastle and Chelsea, then this round of games is the beginning of the marathon. Chelsea also has many players participating in the national team competition, but they are now two games away from each other.If we are ahead, will Newcastle fall behind at the starting line?  "
