Williams followed captain Quinn and let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the familiar tunnel.
Determination can be seen in his big eyes.
Back!
I'm finally back!
Fortunately Williams is not Chinese.
Otherwise, this kid would definitely shout: I, Hu Hansan, am back today!
Williams had a lot on his mind during this time.
After all, this is the first time he has been suspended for so many games. A twelve-game suspension is really too long for a 23-year-old player.
Now that he is finally back on the court, Williams is still very excited.
The long suspension period is finally over. From the end of November to the end of February, in the past three months, Williams could only play some training matches and reserve team games.
Finally came back today.
And the first opponent back is Newcastle, the archrival of the Northeastern Derby.
Finally made a comeback after three months.
Williams did not look left or right, but looked straight ahead with a firm gaze, looking at the familiar Stadium of Light.
"Hello everyone. This is the sixth round of the FA Cup. As long as you win, you can enter the FA Cup semi-finals. This game itself is a Northeastern derby, which has attracted a lot of attention. And now the football
In the championship odds list, Sunderland tops the list and Newcastle ranks third."
"And Williams, who was suspended for 12 games for stadium violence, is finally back. He entered the Sunderland lineup today. His performance has also attracted a lot of attention. Before the suspension, Williams' performance was extremely good.
Out of sex."
"When Sunderland performed strongly at the beginning of the season, Williams was one of Sunderland's most important core players. I just don't know what Williams' status will be like after the long suspension period."
Martin Taylor highlighted Williams.
Williams, who was indeed suspended for 12 games, finally returned.
When the on-site commentator shouted "Jack——", more than 40,000 fans at the Stadium of Light immediately shouted "Williams!"
"Jake-Williams!"
This cheering covered all the sounds.[]
Williams' comeback was cheered by all Sunderland fans.
But Williams is still cool.
If other players heard such cheers at this time, they would definitely wave to the fans as a way of saying hello to the fans.
But not Williams.
Williams holds his chest high and never lowers his head when walking. Not only when walking, but also when playing football, Williams rarely lowers his head. He always raises his head to kick.
Williams followed Quinn without any expression.
But Sunderland fans are used to Williams' appearance.
So I don't care.
The cheers continued.
Different from the cheers of the fans, Robson frowned a little on the sidelines.
Williams is a player no one can ignore.
The same goes for Robson.
Robson has been coaching for decades. In the process, he has seen countless geniuses, including aliens like Ronaldo. But even so, Robson felt a little surprised when he saw Williams.
It's not because of how outstanding Williams' skills are, or how beautiful his playing style is.
It's because Williams is an outstanding English midfielder.
The offense can go up and the defense can come back.
A true English midfielder!
In Robson's mind, the young Barry was not at the same level as Williams. Unexpectedly, he was so unlucky to be in the game where Williams came back.
Robson can only hope that Williams has just returned and has not yet found his form.
It's a pity that this is just a good wish.
Suspended?
It had no impact on Williams' condition at all. Even after the suspension period, Williams was far more outstanding than expected.[]
Speed and Solano were the ones who felt the deepest in this scene.
After Williams' suspension ended, his condition did not decline. When defending, he was calmer than before. Of course, if it was just calmness, Speed and Solano would not lament. The reason they lamented is that Williams is more calm than before.
More aggressive.
They felt that Williams' body was even more beautiful than before.
"It seems that Williams has been really frustrated in the past three months. Look at him on the court, he is like a beast that has just emerged from the cage, sweeping across the midfield. Solano was completely frozen by him."
yes.
Solano, a technical player, did almost nothing under Williams' marking.
Newcastle's midfield has changed a lot in one season. David Batty and Hamann have all left Newcastle, and Robert Lee, who was not taken seriously during Gullit's period, has returned to the main position.
A younger player came up on the right.
Twenty-one-year-old Kieron Dyer.
Together with Speed and Solano, they form the current main midfielder of Newcastle.
This is Robson's first step in transforming Newcastle. The biggest problem is the lack of rigidity in the midfield.
Of course Su Yun would not choose a draw at home, what Su Yun wants is a victory.
So after adapting for a period of time, Su Yun told Williams to press up, leaving all the pressure to Robert E. Lee and Speed in front.
Sure enough, when Williams pressed on, the whole Newcastle felt the pressure.
Huge pressure.
Williams' personal skills are indeed average. But after he controls the ball, although he is clumsy, it is difficult to grab it. Who gives Williams a beast-like body and solid football skills. After Williams gets the ball in the frontcourt
, it is very sad.
But it was also difficult for Newcastle's Speed and Robert Lee to steal the ball from Williams' feet.
This gives Williams more options.
Williams' mid-to-long passing ability is originally very strong.
As long as you control the ball, you can distribute the ball beautifully to the two wings.
The gameplay is not very complicated.
Williams took the ball and then distributed it to the wing. With Duff and Bellamy on the wing, he passed the ball into the penalty area again. Standing in the penalty area was Quinn, the header monster, and the backside.
Williams on.
This way of playing is very simple.
But very effective.
It put tremendous pressure on Newcastle players.
Even Kieron Dyer and Solano dropped back into the midfield to defend.
It is difficult to intercept the ball at Williams' feet, but that is only for one or two defensive players. When there are more defensive players and they carry out partial siege, Williams has nothing to do. After all, Williams does not have Ronaldo or Zida.
Within the skills of these players.
He can be surrounded and use superb skills to excel.
Therefore, Robson chose to use the numerical advantage to defend Williams.
"How long does it take Coach Robson to do that?"
Su Yun looked at the situation on the field with a smile and talked easily with Cotterill next to him.
"Hmm. It's so easy to eliminate Gullit's influence."
Robson's method is also a good one. Anyway, an away draw with Sunderland is not unacceptable from Robson's point of view.
But Su Yun would not accept a draw.
Su Yun is waiting.
Waiting for Williams to give everyone a surprise.
Williams got the ball again. Williams was able to get it every time not only because Williams is the core of Sunderland's midfield. But also because Williams kept running.
Williams' running trajectory covers the entire midfield.
His physical strength is sufficient for this kind of running.
As soon as Williams got the ball, he had just taken two steps and Newcastle players were already surrounding him. Speed, Robert Lee and Solano immediately formed a small encirclement. Of course, Solano was among them.
In fact, it was a cover. He just surrounded a corner.
The main defenders of Williams were Speed and Robert Lee.
"This kind of defense actually has a lot of loopholes. Because three people surround Williams, there will be openings in other positions."
The method adopted by Robson has been eliminated by the football world early on.
"But this is because Coach Robson sees the lifeline of Williams. Williams is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. His breakthrough ability is very poor, and he has almost no fatal threat in this position.
Pass the ball."
Andy Gray analyzes Robson's arrangement.
If it were players like Ronaldo, Zidane, Rui Costa, even this kind of defense would not be so loose. They would have one person sticking close to them, another person leaving a slight distance, and the last person blocking the others.
Breakthrough space.
But it's different for Williams.
Speed and others kept a certain distance from Williams. They forced Williams to pass the ball to the back. As long as Williams was not allowed to pass the ball to the two wings comfortably.
When Williams got the ball, even though it was three people looking at Williams, the distance between them was actually quite large.
They just blocked Su Yun's passing route.
Williams raised his head and looked at several people, with no expression at all on his cold face.
"What will Williams choose... Judging from the current situation, Williams' best way is to hand the ball to Savage behind, and Danny Mills coming up from the right."
"Williams passed the ball... This is not a back pass, this is... the ball entered the penalty area!"
"Phillips! Phillips got the ball... Phillips. It's a one-on-one!"
"She door!"
"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!! Phillips, Phillips opened the scoring. One to zero, Sunderland led Newcastle one to zero at home."
"What a surprise."
"Is this a pass from Williams? Is this a pass from Williams? But it is indeed a pass from Williams. Williams passed a fatal ball in a double-team of three people. Where is this from William?
