Chapter 152: King Keegan who can't defend

In the first half of the season, Newcastle United's performance was magical, but in the second half of the league, Hollywood on the Tyne seemed to start producing bad movies repeatedly.
Newcastle United threw away Manchester United from half way to the penultimate round of the league, the advantage is only three points left, once the three-point advantage does not exist, then they will be overtaken by Manchester United immediately, because of the goal difference, their The disadvantage is very obvious.
Aldridge led his team as a guest at St. James Park Stadium. The fans of the Magpies appeared anxious in the stands. They hoped that the team would win this strong dialogue, because the lineup sent by Millwall is not particularly strong.
However, in the first half of the league, Millwall relied on two goals from the semi-main lineup to send away the visiting Newcastle United.
The status of Newcastle United is worrying, losing to Manchester United in March and Liverpool in April. The ups and downs of the state are unreliable.
There is a trend that experts have analyzed and concluded: whenever Newcastle United seem to stabilize, they will lose in a strong dialogue and suppress their high morale.
If they can beat Manchester United or Liverpool, I am afraid they can directly win the championship in advance, because the continuity of the state and the influence of morale will have a completely different effect.
Aldridge sat on the coach seat quietly and waited for the game to start.
Kevin Keegan came over to say hello to him as a landlord, smiling and chatting with him about the FA Cup final early next month.
Talk about Liverpool is not good to deal with Yunyun.
He seemed to cheer for his old club, but in fact reminded Audridge not to fight for the championship, go to the FA Cup championship.
Aldrich talked to him in a vain manner and smiled and said a few words. After chatting that the other party had nothing to say, the two separated.
"What's there to talk about with him?"
Jenson whispered in disdain.
Aldridge said helplessly: "I don't want to tell him anything."
With both players on the court, Millwall's lineup is obviously very young, while Newcastle United has changed significantly from the first half of the league.
"Welcome to St. James’ Park Stadium, my name is Martin Taylor. If today’s 37th round of the Premier League will determine the winner, then this is definitely not an exaggeration. If Newcastle United defeated Millwall, Then Keegan's team is likely to win the championship in advance, even if Manchester United wins, at least the initiative is still in the hands of Newcastle United. As for Millwall, it is a pity that this is a season where they have performed well, but they are in At the last moment, I lost the initiative to compete for the championship. Next, my partner Andy Gray will introduce you to the starting list of both sides."
"Kegan was aware of the team's defensive problems, so in winter he brought David Batty from Blackburn, a fierce defensive midfielder who could enhance the stiffness and interception of Newcastle United's defense. Keegan also found a reliable partner for Ferdinand, the Asprila who ended the 58-game undefeated myth of AC Milan. Newcastle United's starting lineup today is 442 in the midfield, and the goalkeeper: Srinicek. Defenders: Watson, Barton, Albert, Berrisford. Midfielders: Beardsley, Batty, Ginola, Clark. Forwards: Ferdinand, Asprila. Milwaukee All of the players here are substitute players today, and the audience who hopes to see the star matchup may be disappointed. In the lineup of the crazy lion, we can hardly find a particularly familiar figure. They are playing a 433 formation today. The goalkeeper : Bute. Defenders: Zambrotta, Materazzi, Elgra, Capdevila. Midfielders: Gattuso, Vieira, Barak. Forwards: Solskjaer, Van Nistel Rui, Shevchenko. I don’t know if Hall will fight the defensive counterattack that defeated the enemy when he played last time. Let’s wait and see.

Aldridge is more relaxed today. He just wants to train the team and play his own style.
And Kevin Keegan was very nervous, he just forced himself to calm down.
In his view, Millwall is playing counterattack in the case of half of the main force at home, so when he comes to the road and there is no main force to play, he will definitely shrink the defense.
Therefore, instead of following the 4141 formation from the last confrontation, he used 442, which is not too aggressive. The focus is to allow the two wingers, Beardsley and Ginola to create more opportunities by their personal abilities. Double forwards In a one-on-one contest, Ferdinand and Asprila vs Matrazzi and Elgra do not make sense.
When the game started, Newcastle United naturally went all out in order to maintain the championship advantage, and did not plan to test their opponents at all.
Beardsley easily broke through Capdevila and passed the bottom pass. Materazzi also easily pressed Asprila header.
When the ball started to run under Millwall's feet, their advantage in the midfield was immediately reflected.
After Vieira and Gattuso dragged, Barak ran in a wide range of midfield and frontcourt, plus two wingers, Zambrotta and Capdevila assisted, Solskjaer and Shevchen Branch retreated, they quickly advanced to the field after forming a numerical advantage in the midfield.
Unlike many teams who died at the front of the battlefield, Millwall's players used more back-and-forth running positions to confuse the opponent's vision. The offense played very smoothly, which dazzled the audience.
Aldrich didn’t stand on the sidelines to supervise the war. At first he didn’t want to put pressure on the boys. Standing on the sidelines now seemed like a gesture of winning every battle. This is an incentive for the main players, but for younger ones. For the players, there will be huge pressure.
Another reason is that he can't stand the enthusiasm of magpie fans.
Not that the fans laughed and abused him.
After all, Millwall is 5 points behind Newcastle United, and the Magpies fans don't even care about the Lions.
The enthusiasm of the Magpie fans is reflected in the support for Keegan, who shouted a name on the court to make Aldridge feel cold all over.
"Kegang! King Kegang!"
Keegan was regarded as the savior by the Magpie fans, this is understandable, Aldridge just did not want to listen.
Just as other fans can't stand Millwall fans' worship of Aldridge.
Keegan stood up, clenched his fists and looked at the situation on the field in disbelief.
What are you doing?
Is Millwall going for a three-pointer?
He made a mistake.
Either the defense is a negative attitude towards victory, nor is the offense necessarily despising the defense.
Millwall today controlled the game rhythm firmly in his hands through the powerful control of the midfield.
Newcastle United only started with two attacks, and then they fell into passive defense, and their disadvantages became more and more obvious.
Millwall's midfield play was too easy when the old Billzley and the French handsome Ginola could not withdraw the defense on a large scale.
Vieira, Gattuso, and Barak almost occupied the turf between the two restricted areas by running. They passed the ball smoothly and quickly. The attack was played from time to time, from time to time.
Seeing Millwall’s advantage off the court, Aldridge turned his head lightly and said to Jenson: "The tactical concept of the next door has already begun to fall behind. If he still plays counter-defense on the court, he will never win the championship. The future trend is that every inch of turf and every inch of the course is competing."
In the middle of the speech, Barak and Fanny quickly inserted the door before Newcastle United's rear defense was in chaos. Vieira attacked, before Batty intercepted him and crossed the ball to the rib of the penalty area. Erskjaer was unmarked after inserting the ball forward and volleyed the ball into the corner of the goal.
"Millwall led! Super goal Solskjaer scored. He started today and was a winger. However, we saw that in the first half of the first half, Millwall's two wingers frequently Diagonally inserted into the penalty area, making Newcastle United undefeated, Hall is showing his amazing tactics, but I have to say that Newcastle United still has not solved a core problem: Will they defend? When attacking mature teams, their disadvantages are very obvious, playing at Manchester United at home and Liverpool at home. Now, their home is dominated by Millwall."
Solskjaer smiled after scoring a goal and hugged and celebrated with each teammate. He seemed a little calm and more like a last-minute farewell.
Apart from Aldridge, no one on the team knew he would leave in the summer.
Magpies fans like Keegan, and like it often means that they will be blinded by objective facts.
Critics have been talking about Newcastle's poor defense for a few months.
Even satirizing Newcastle United's defense is an American football defense, the players will only pounce on the offensive players who have the right to the ball, and do not understand what is called the defensive system.
Kevin Keegan also had a headache, and there was news that he was already looking for a defensive coach to make up for this shortcoming.
This makes the outside world feel even more absurd.
You ask a defensive coach to say that you can only teach players defensive skills, but Newcastle United’s problem is not that players will not be able to play defensive skills. Can you say Barton, who bought 4 million pounds last summer, doesn’t know what defense is? Otherwise, why did you buy him! What Keegan should do is to teach the defensive players to get rounded, but he went to hire a defensive coach, obviously not aware of his problems.
Keegan's face was green, and he couldn't understand why Vieira passed the ball, why the lower back Batty was so far away from each other, why Barton and Albert let Solskjaer easily enter the penalty area, and why Watson didn't Watching Solskjaer tightly...
Why are so many things in Keegan's mind?
Aldridge just applauded and held his chin to continue watching the game.
The intermittent running of the offensive players distracts the attention of the defensive players at all times.
You can’t blame Batty’s previous defense and followed Barak until the opponent entered the penalty area and then turned back to mark Vieira is wrong. Nor can you ask Watson to be attracted to the sideline by Capdevila. Keeping up with Solskjaer's speed while turning back.
It can only be said that Newcastle United's defense is terrible.
Keegan should see how Aston Villa defended and how Millwall's offensive power was minimized.
The game was a little one-sided, and the ball has been running in the half of Newcastle United. They not only struggled on the defensive end, but also struggled when they turned from defense to defense, because Millwall's frontline crazy counter-attack, midfield players quickly retreated Intercepting the pass, the defense after losing the ball is excellent.
If it weren’t for Fanny to waste two opportunities, I’m afraid the score was rewritten before halftime.
In the second half, Kevin Keegan replaced Gillespie and withdrew a defender. The purpose was to attack, attack, and to attack Lao Tzu!
He didn't think he could attack. If they lost the game at home, they would lose the top spot.
At least a tie is needed.
Aldridge replaced Barack in the 60th minute of the game, allowing Pirlo to play the midfielder.
Originally, Aldridge was not going to let him play, but Newcastle United was top-heavy. Unlike in Italy, where a team will defend in the backcourt, Pirlo has a lot of space in front of him, so he can use the pass to tear it apart. The opponent's defense, especially the opponent also withdrew a defender.
Kevin Keegan eventually lost to the defensive end, and Pirlo made a good pass to Shevchenko as soon as he played. The routine is basically the same. Shevchenko diagonally inserted the penalty area away from the full-back who turned back and chased, and The central defender was caught off guard.
A beautiful volley made the Magpie city gate fall again.
This goal directly kicked Newcastle United from the top of the list.
Manchester United scored early, leading Leeds United one to zero. Although the score has not changed, but when the news here passes, Manchester United may choose a more conservative way to maintain the top position.
