When Gullit became the head coach of Newcastle, he promised to bring good football to Newcastle.
Compared with Italian and Spanish leagues, English football may seem to have lower technical content. This is because most English teams play a very traditional 4-4-2 parallel position, and they are constantly passing long balls to the goal.
.
If you are used to Latin American football, when you look at English football, you may think that they play too rough.
But this is just a custom in English football.
And there is a tradition in English football. Especially their fans, they like to watch offensive football. The football they like is passionate football, and that is why they like tough guys on the field.
All kinds of collisions and fast rhythm are what they like very much.
Look at Arsenal ten years ago. They performed very well under George Graham. But even Arsenal's own fans didn't like Arsenal at that time because they thought Arsenal played too dull at that time.
Wow, it’s too ugly.
Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur fans historically like to watch offense.
Kevin Keegan is a god in the eyes of Newcastle fans.
Sir Hall pulled Newcastle out of the quagmire, and Kevin Keegan brought Newcastle to a strong team. More importantly, Kevin Keegan's football philosophy is very popular with Newcastle fans. So even if Kevin Keegan
Keegan lost the championship with a huge advantage, and Newcastle fans still regard Kevin Keegan as God.
Newcastle's head coach Dalglish's performance last season was actually not very bad, but Newcastle fans didn't like him. They hated him very much.
Why?
It's because Dalglish's style of play is so ugly.
Dalglish's style of play is completely opposite to the taste of Newcastle fans. They don't like it, they really don't like it.
Gullit is different.
As soon as he came to Newcastle, he said he wanted to play good-looking football, which is what is currently called "sexy football" in English football.
Newcastle fans are looking forward to it.
After all, Gullit's results at Chelsea are very good.
In order to show his determination to play beautiful football, Gullit eliminated a person as soon as he arrived in Newcastle. It was Robert Lee, who was very popular and prestigious in Newcastle. Because in his eyes, Robert Lee was very typical.
English midfielder.
It is very inconsistent with his philosophy of leading a team.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed so far.
From the current point of view, Newcastle's results are very average. In the first two rounds, Newcastle had one draw and one loss, and only accumulated one point.
What exactly is sexy football? Su Yun discovered it after the game started.
Gullit himself is one of the representatives of the Dutch Total Attack and Total Defense tactics. It is precisely because of this that his coaching style is also greatly influenced by Dutch football. Gullit does not like the style of English football, so he is more
He controls the ball at his feet. He plays ground football.
"Batti, he passed the ball to Solano Solano in front..."
"beep--"
As soon as Solano got the ball, he was tackled by a fierce tackle from Robbie Savage.
"Savage... After the game against Arsenal, Savage also received a lot of criticism. Coach Wenger thought that Savage's action was too big. It can be seen from the tackle just now that Savage was indeed
A fierce general."
The referee stepped forward to stop Savage and then gave him some warnings.
The referee's job is not easy to do either. If Savage is not warned, coaches like Wenger and Gullit will definitely be very dissatisfied. Catching these things will cause a storm. But if there is no warning for these body collisions,
If it is too strict, then the middle and lower-tier teams in the Premier League will be even more dissatisfied.
So the referee is also in a difficult position.
Savage kept nodding and had a very good attitude.
When Solano stood up, he touched his ankle.
Solano doesn't like the brutal moves of English football. As a Peruvian international, he has been playing in South America. Last season he was with Boca Juniors. Although playing in South America, there are many small moves, whether it is a defensive player or an offensive player.
Various small actions continue.
But there was no brutal collision like England.
Robbie Savage's tackle just now made his ankle hurt.
Gullit stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee. This kind of tackle should be given a yellow card.
But the Sunderland fans cheered.
"Robbie! Robbie! Robbie—Savage!"
"Fuck Newcastle bastard!"
"Kill them!"
On the contrary, Sunderland fans like Robbie Savage very much. If they could, they would even want to go up and kick those Newcastle players. It would be best to break their legs to relieve their anger. Therefore, they appreciate Robbie Savage very much.
Weird tackle.
Unfortunately this is not the end.
Since Newcastle deposed Robert Lee, the midfield combination now consists of Solano, Hamann, Gary Speed, and David Batty.
In fact, Newcastle's midfielder is a top-notch midfielder even in the Premier League.
David Batty and Gary Speed were already the main midfielders of Leeds United, the last League One champions, seven years ago. David Batty defended fiercely and distributed the ball accurately, while Gary Speed
Germany is a winger with amazing speed.
Although compared to Leeds United, Speed's speed has dropped a bit.
But Speed is still a very comprehensive midfielder. He is fast, passes the ball well, and even shoots very well.
Needless to say Haman.
Not only is he the main defensive midfielder of Bayern, he is also the main defensive midfielder of the German national team in the World Cup in France.
The most important thing is that the ages of these four people are very suitable.
David Batty and Gary Speed are 29 years old, Harman is 25 years old, and Solano is 23 years old. With such a strong midfielder, if he plays well, it will be a match.
Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are not far behind either.
Among these four people, except Solano, they are not afraid of physical confrontation.
Even like David Batty and Hamann, they prefer physical confrontation.
If they play British-style football with Sunderland, Sunderland's midfielder may not necessarily be better than them. In addition, Newcastle also has a perverted presence like Shearer, one of the strongest centers in the world. Playing British-style football face to face.
Football, Sunderland may not be sure to win Newcastle.
It's a pity that they were asked by Gullit to play sexy football.
In the meantime, Solano's status has been greatly improved. Unfortunately, Solano has not adapted to English football at all.
Just now it was Robbie Savage, and soon Williams and Danny Mills gave Solano a taste of what English football is. Gullit asked Solano to dribble more and pass more passes in the frontcourt.
.But once Solano got the ball, the Sunderland players immediately took action.
There are many ways to grab the ball.
Body collision, tackle.
Solano has played football in South America for so many years and has never experienced this kind of defense. He was immediately lost in the marking of Sunderland's defensive players.
As for Gullit, who was born as a player, there is not much to note in terms of tactical ability.
"Sexy football? It's just fake technology. I want Newcastle to know today that sexy football is nothing more than a facade."
Su Yun watched Solano lose his way, and because Gullit emphasized too much on the ground ball, Shearer in front also lost his traditional power, while David Batty, Speed, and Hamann had several powerful players.
The midfielder has strength, but cannot adapt to Gullit's requirements. Newcastle's midfielder plays his own role.
Several strong generals are unable to exert their own strength.
"Jack, Jack!"
After watching it for a while, Su Yun understood the current situation of Newcastle. Bullshit sexy football was completely copied by Gullit, who applied a set of things he learned in the Netherlands to Newcastle.
Su Yun was reminded of an idiom: Handan learns to walk.
He didn’t look at the team’s resources or the players he had in hand. He asked for carrot soup even though he had cucumbers in his hand. Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing?
The observation was almost done. Su Yun stepped forward and called Williams' name loudly.
When Su Yun went up, tens of thousands of people at the Stadium of Light suddenly stopped cheering and cursing. So much so that Su Yun's voice echoed in the Stadium of Light.
Williams also heard Su Yun's voice, so he looked back.
Su Yun made a gesture, asking the team to strengthen the attack on the wing.
Newcastle's tactics are too messy.
But after all, Newcastle's midfielders are world-class. Hamann and David Batty are both top midfielders in the Premier League, so the defense in the middle is still quite good. It's a pity that Gullit is now trying to transplant the Dutch full attack.
A completely defensive style of play, but the offense cannot be advanced and the defense cannot be defended.
Su Yun has already seen it.
Newcastle's current style of play is like massing heavy troops in the middle, while the two flanks are completely exposed.
After the opening, Sunderland did not rush to attack, but slowly tested according to Su Yun's arrangement. Now that the test was over, of course they had to start attacking.
Williams' current position is under the greatest pressure.
Because he directly faced the pressure of Hamann and David Batty, and Speed, the all-around midfielder, was also crowded in the middle. Facing these people, Williams wanted to get the ball, control the ball, and pass the ball very quickly.
It's difficult. So all the time he passed the ball backwards, or directly passed the ball to Quinn.
The effect has never been very good.
Seeing Su Yun's gesture, Williams burst into tears. How could it be so easy to separate sides?
However, Williams also knows that only by playing two wings will the pressure on himself in the center be reduced a lot.
