Gremy helped Newcastle United score the third goal, but the team celebrated for less than half a minute, because there was no time in the first half.

The referee urged the game to start over.

After Villarreal attacked two consecutive rounds, the referee simply blew the ending whistle, and the score in the first half was frozen at '3:0'.

Newcastle United has the advantage of three goals, and each player feels very relaxed, and they go back to the locker room with a smile.

Head coach Kevin Keegan was also very relaxed. He felt that there was no problem with the game, but Zhen Shaolong also had to take care of it. He thought about the last time, Zhen Shaolong's performance of continuous retracement, and he also worked with Gremy to complete wonderful goals.

Generally speaking, Keegan did not interfere with Zhen Shaolong's performance.

It's different now.

If Zhen Shaolong retreats for a long time, he should adjust the lower lineup to adapt to Zhen Shaolong's retreat so that the midfield and frontcourt can be more coordinated and able to exert a stronger level of strength.

Keegan found Zhen Shaolong, "Are you going to keep retreating? Or just try?"

Zhen Shaolong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I plan to try it later."

The effect of ‘wishes come true’ is the most suitable for passing the ball. He also wants to pass a classic ball when he has the chance. After all, there are few opportunities for similar experiences, and it is almost impossible on weekdays.

"All right!"

Keegan said she got it.

at the same time.

Irving was also happily saying to Milner, "Didn't you notice it? Zhen started passing the ball!"

"I had already agreed with Zhen just now. He said that he would come on and that he would definitely pass the ball to me!"

"I will definitely score in the second half!"

Irving is looking forward to it.

Did you see Gremy? That guy didn't know how to play forward at all, and even ran was a problem, but he still cooperated with Zhen Shaolong to complete the goal. When he received the ball, he passed the ball so comfortably that he scored. Gremy also scored with this goal.

Irving is also looking forward to completing the goal himself.

At this time, Keegan greeted everyone and spoke up about the adjustment strategy, "We need to make some adjustments."

"Michael."

Keegan called Irving's name, "In order to make the lineup perform better, you need to take a break from the court, Mark (Viduca), you go! Remember to attract more defense and also find opportunities to shoot!"

"good."

Viduka nodded.

This adjustment was very surprising for Viduka. He is the team's fourth striker and Martins ranked above him. He originally thought it would be difficult to play in the Champions League, but he didn't expect that he would be replaced by a substitute.

This is also good.

Viduka and Newcastle United's contract ended by the end of May. He has decided to return to Australia by then and play for his hometown team until he retires.

He can only participate in this Champions League in his career.

Now that he can play in the Champions League quarterfinals, Viduka suddenly feels very good. It can be regarded as showing off his face before leaving and experiencing the feeling of a top club event. He has to remember that feeling and can still be used as a topic of discussion after he goes back to educate the young Australians.

Irving doesn't feel very good.

If it weren't for the fear of offending Keegan, who had a reputation, that would lead to no chance to play in the next major competition, Irving would have wanted to ask loudly, "Why do I replace me!"

"I'm going to score a goal soon!"

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Irving knows that his influence is much worse than Zhen Shaolong. He is not much more forward, but he is not much less. Zhen Shaolong will not perform badly with Martins and Viduka.

This is a tragedy.

Irving had the word "depression" on his face, and he could only sit in the corner and convince himself to accept the fact that he was replaced.

soon.

The second half of the game begins, and the two teams will make substitutions immediately.

For Villarreal, Pellegrini chose to replace a full-back with the goal of increasing the defense on the wing, and the impact on Duff's right side threatened too much.

Newcastle United replaced Viduka.

This substitution adjustment only made the commentator say, "Kegan probably wanted Viduka to attract defensive attention." Irving was not mentioned in a single sentence. The most famous player in Newcastle United is Zhen Shaolong. Irving's importance was greatly reduced, and fans didn't care much about Irving being substituted.

In addition, Irving's performance is indeed not good.

Not only did he not score a goal in the first half, he also wasted two opportunities, especially the time when Zhen Shaolong passed the ball, he was very good but did not seize it, which left a deep impression on people.

Viduka's appearance is believed to help attract defensive attention.

In fact, this is not the case.

Keegan also made Viduka attract attention, but more importantly, Viduka has strong ability to grab headers.

After Zhen Shaolong decided to pull up, he kept creating opportunities for his teammates. Keegan simply replaced Viduka, Irving, and Martins, who had strong heading skills, and were not suitable. They had to run out of the open position before they could receive the pass and score the ball.

It becomes easier for Viduka to play on the offense. He and Patton, who heads well, can create enough threats to the opponent as long as there is constant support from behind.

This way Gremy can return to the position.

Gremy's organizational offensive ability, overall view, and even game experience are better than Joey Patton. He is not the kind of player with excellent personal skills, but it is okay to be the core of the offensive.

In the second half, Newcastle United's offensive style suddenly changed. They began to use long passes to rush and compete for the top of the penalty area.

Zhen Shaolong even thought it was simple.

In the later part of the first half, he had to keep observing his teammates' positions and find opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates. Now he doesn't need to do so at all. He just stands on the periphery and can even stand even further outside. The football comes to the ball and kicks it immediately.

Passing!

At ten or twenty meters outside the penalty area, Zhen Shaolong could easily send the ball into the penalty area, and the 'wishes come true' could make him play very accurately.

The competition has become simple.

The teammates sent the ball to Zhen Shaolong's feet, and Zhen Shaolong sent the ball into the penalty area.

Then Patton and Viduka compete for the top!

Newcastle United's offense is like this every time. The opponent's defense against Viduca and Patton is very strict, but it is like this to grab the header. The completely unreasonable long pass and rushing is a battle in the air and the ground. There is no difference between two people defending and three people defending.

Villarreal also tried to restrict Zhen Shaolong, but they worked hard for a long time and were useless.

As long as the football rolls towards Zhen Shaolong, he will be able to pass the ball out.

Various ways—

Barb!

Pick the pass!

Head over!

While running, waved his heel and kicked forward!

etc.

Zhen Shaolong kept passing the ball to the penalty area in a variety of ways, which also allowed Patton and Viduka in the penalty area to enjoy the feeling of "long-term chance". Their job is to try to convert very beautiful passes into goals through various shots.

Newcastle United's simple play method quickly worked.

In the 61st minute of the game, Viduka squeezed two defenders, jumped up and shook his head and sent the ball into the bottom corner of the goal.

4 to 0!

This goal is just the beginning.

Ten minutes later, Viduka was in the middle of the penalty area and received a pass and then volleyed!

This wonderful shot helped Newcastle United lead Villarreal five goals.

Perhaps it was the ease brought by the big score lead, Newcastle United was a little careless about defense. In the 76th minute, Villarreal midfielder Cazorla scored a goal with a long shot from the outside, but soon Viduca scored another header, helping the team turn the score into "5-1".

"The ball has entered!"

"It's Viduka again! Veteran Viduka! He completed a hat-trick in the bench in half!"

“It’s an amazing performance!”

"Viduka! Viduka... But the most shining thing on the court is Zhen Shaolong. He keeps making balls for Viduka, and the submarine puts a lot of energy to limit Zhen Shaolong, but Zhen Shaolong can always pass the ball accurately to Viduka in various ways!"

"This performance is amazing!"

"From Zhen Shaolong's passing balls again and again, we can see how accurate his footwork is. Even if he uses his heels to kick, he can accurately hang the ball to the top of Viduka's head..."

Zhen Shaolong's performance made Villarreal have no choice. They kept trying to defend, but they ended in failure again and again. Apart from highlighting the other party's wonderful performance, it seemed meaningless.

Villarreal's morale was almost consumed in the failed defense again and again.

They feel desperate.

The two sides had only one round of the fight, and Villarreal felt that it was impossible to win. The big score was a direct blow. If you lost four goals in a single game, how could you play in the second round?

Many players looked at Pellegrini.

Pellegrini has always been the spiritual pillar of Villarrea. The miracle he created was recognized by everyone, but Pellegrini was also helpless at this time.
