Jota, who returned to the false nine position, had a wider range of roaming. Wei Le thought that it might be because he was directly placed in the midfield position, which gave him less space to hold the ball, so he played more confused.

Back to the offensive position with a larger space, Jota began to frequently insert, posing a lot of threats to Newcastle's defense.

"Tell Jota and Ziro to let Jota rush resolutely and rush directly to the goal. Let Bowen come back a little to cover him, he is too isolated now."

Doherty took the order and left. He first brought the news to Rodri, and then ran to the front court to tell Ziro, and Ziro brought the news to Jota and Bowen. Jota's eyes lit up after hearing it, and he turned around and gave Wei Le a thumbs up.

Although Jota could understand that Wei Le was trying out new tactics, he also agreed that his comprehensive ability could contribute to the team, and he knew better that the team lacked players in connection.

But he really didn't know how to play in the midfield, and he still felt that he should be a striker.

Wei Le had his reasons for making such an arrangement. There are still some injured players in the team. Kevin McDonald, who was previously arranged as a midfielder substitute, is not very capable. At most, he is an outstanding player in the English League One. He is not ranked in the English Championship, let alone the Premier League.

And this player also suffered a minor injury in the previous training, and he could not enter the big list in one or two games.

Before the game, Wei Le called Matt Hobbs, the football director who had disappeared for a long time, and he said directly, "I want to buy a midfielder!"

Hobbs deeply agreed with the team's situation, but he was also a little helpless.

"Wei, it's mid-September now, and there are still two or three months before the winter transfer window opens. Even if we get someone now, he can't come."

Wei Le could only sigh. He could only ask the scout department to start working first and find potential targets suitable for playing in the midfield in advance.

Let’s not talk about the shortage of lineup. During the game, Bowen and Jota were so happy to receive the order to break through. However, Bowen was strictly guarded by the Newcastle United players. Sometimes he could only choose to pass back and reorganize.

But Jota was much smoother. On the one hand, it was because he had a strong ability to grab points. On the other hand, he noticed that the opponent’s right-hand center back Grant Hanley, the Scottish center back, was good at intercepting, stealing and competing for the top, but he was huge, not only slow, but also slow to turn.

This is a disadvantage of being tall, and it is also the most welcome striker for Jota, who is not tall, has no physical advantage but is very agile. On the contrary, what Jota disliked the most was his teammate, a center back like Ruben Dias.

Ruben Dias, although this player is very tall and big, his speed is not slow, and he is very agile. He can defend Jota accurately.

Even if he was shaken off by Jota at the first time, he could quickly adjust back and then stretch out his foot.

Back to the game, Jota felt that there was an opportunity, so he frequently attacked him and created many opportunities.

"We can't do this anymore." Hanley panted, and he complained to Clark, "We can't go on like this, if we go on like this, I will become a breakthrough point sooner or later."

Clark seemed a little helpless, "Well, you move forward and I move back. If you lose the ball, I will fill in for you."

Clark was actually not used to partnering with Hanley. He was more used to working with Russells, the central defender in the previous game. Russells is very young and can run very fast.

Benitez also saw the shaky back line, but he really didn't dare to make substitutions.

In the first half of the game, he replaced two people in a row. Although he tied the score, in the second half, Wei Le quickly came up with a targeted method.

Now, he only has one substitution quota. At this stage, the five-substitution mechanism has not yet been born, so the head coach needs to consider carefully.

And now, Benítez actually regrets his decision to make substitutions in the first half.

"Why didn't you remind me in the first half?" Benítez asked the assistant coach unhappily.

The assistant coach looked innocent, "I clearly reminded him."

Benítez didn't care about that. He cursed as if he was throwing a tantrum, and then shrank back into his chair angrily. The assistant coach also rolled his eyes. He was not a member of the coaching staff brought by Benítez, so there was no need to appease his bad temper.

Now, the second half of the game has just begun, and Benítez still doesn't dare to use the last substitution to replace Hanley with Russells.

Benítez's hesitation is justified, but his hesitation also caused Hanley to continue to bear pressure.

"Rodri passed to Joao·Teixeira, Teixeira turned and passed to the wing. Now it was Doherty who got the ball. He made a long pass to the middle. Ziro and Shelvey failed to reach it. Jota got the second point. "

"Jota took two steps and did not intend to continue to break through. He returned to Rodri and passed a safe ball. "

After Rodri got the ball, he looked around for two seconds and made a long pass to the open space in front of the right side. There, Bowen was chasing the ball!

In the previous set, Newcastle's defense line was dispatched back and forth, but during this period, Newcastle's defense line was relatively stable, and the players who returned to defense also stood in position. They expected the left back to stop Bowen outside the penalty area, but Bowen was too fast!

"Bowen inserted into the penalty area horizontally, dribbled along the bottom line, and passed the ball to Jota in a triangle. Jota kicked - oh! Jota flew out! "Martin Taylor exclaimed. There were too many people in the penalty area just now, and he couldn't see clearly, but he felt that this would be a penalty!

The linesman raised his hand at the first time, and the referee blew the whistle.

Benitez's heart was pounding. He jumped up from his chair, rushed to the fourth official, and yelled in his ear, "This is not! It won't be a penalty!"

The fourth official almost had a heart attack. He stepped back two steps and signaled the other party to stay calm. Benitez screamed, his face flushed, and he was very excited. Not far away, Wei Le and Celars stood aside, watching the scene in front of them with a melon-eating attitude.

They saw clearly that it was Hanley, who kicked out hastily and was very "clean", so clean that he didn't touch the ball at all, and was completely cutting wood.

The referee did not intend to change his penalty, and most of the Newcastle United players felt that there was no need to argue about this ball.

Hanley had already stepped back, and he knew very well what he had done. Clark looked very aggrieved, and he was still He spread his hands to the referee to show his innocence, hoping that he would reconsider before making a penalty.

But the problem is that he also witnessed everything. He wanted to say that Hanley did not commit a foul, but he couldn't say it himself.

Finally, Ziro stood in front of the penalty spot, and Darlow looked nervous.

Ziro smiled at Darlow, and he took a few steps back.

The referee blew the whistle, and Ziro did not make a fake move, nor did he take small steps, nor did he jump up and down. He just accelerated towards the football and calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

And Ziro was delighted to notice that Darlow's center of gravity had fallen to the opposite side-

The ball went in! ! !

Wolves overtook the score! ! ! ! !
