On October 6, in the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will go to Newcastle in northeastern England for an away game.

Newcastle is also a long-established and strong team in the Premier League, but it did not go well for a few years. Although it has now returned to the Premier League.

But the strength is definitely not as good as before.

From the beginning of this game, Newcastle's center Joelinton was very active.

Newcastle played a 541 formation in this game, which can be said to be the ultimate iron barrel formation.

Obviously, Newcastle's coach Bruce also knew that if Newcastle were to play against Manchester United, they would definitely not be able to win, so he chose to set up an iron barrel formation.

The four midfielders are basically all defensive players, so the only serious offensive player is Joelinton.

In the pre-game deployment, Bruce also clearly told Joelinton, don't come back when you are defending, be a counterattack point in front!

And Joelinton stayed in front during the game and never retreated to defend.

In fact, strictly speaking, it's the same with or without him.

Because in this game, Newcastle has basically been doing one thing, and that is defense.

So Joelinton's role is naturally not that big.

In this game, Bruce's defensive tactics for Newcastle were not unserious.

For example, Bruce also did a good job in marking Lin Ke's enemy.

He arranged for Longstaff, a central midfielder in the midfield 4, to closely mark Lin Ke's opponent.

It's a counter-attack tactic. If one of us takes away your top card, Newcastle will make a profit, right?

But the reality is not like this.

Bruce thought very well. He arranged 541, among which the four midfielders were two central midfielders and two wide midfielders.

As for the two wide midfielders, he used Saint-Maximin and Almiron. These two wide midfielders are called wide midfielders. Bruce asked them to do a good job of defense.

But in the actual game, both of them pressed forward, and even when they didn't press forward, the defensive abilities of the two offensive players were quite poor.

So in fact, the only people who are actually defending in the midfield are the two central midfielders, but one central midfielder is used specifically to mark Link's enemies.

The other central midfielder simply became a defensive midfielder.

There are 5 defenders left behind.

In fact, the more defenders in a defensive formation, the better.

Otherwise, the 10 defenders will get it.

In a 5-back formation, Bruce arranged three central defenders. Among them, he imagined that the central defender could step forward and act as a defensive midfielder, and retreat as a central defender.

But the idea is wonderful. In the actual game, the central defender basically disrupted the cooperation of the two central defenders.

Because the two central defenders don't know when the central defender will go up and when he will come back.

For example, in the 11th minute, Lin Kedi broke through along the right and then cut inside to the middle.

The central defender Lascelles is still in midfield, the left central defender Clark is preparing to step forward to defend Lin Ke, and the right central defender Scheer does not know whether he should step up.

Because firstly, he didn’t know whether Lascelles would return to his position. Secondly, he had to defend Rashford, the offensive player on his side. If he stepped forward to defend, Link would pass the ball.

With the ball, Rashford can enter the penalty area through the gap left by him.

So it's very troublesome.

Lascelles, on the other hand, did not return in time.

Right center back Scheer was also worried that the defense on his side was not coming forward, so Lin Kedi directly penetrated through the huge gap between the left and right center backs.

Faced with the goalkeeper's attack, Lin Kedi took a shot and scored the ball.

1 to 0.

After conceding a goal, Newcastle did not change their defensive strategy, but continued to defend firmly.

But, again, the Newcastle team under Bruce is not a team that is good at defending.

Although Bruce asked the players on the sidelines not to come forward and insist on defending in the backcourt.

But when the first half of the game was about to end, the two midfielders couldn't help but step forward to attack.

Manchester United's two wingers immediately stepped in and pressed forward, hitting Newcastle's gap.

Newcastle set up a 541 defensive formation, but due to the forward pressure of the two full midfielders, it became 523. As a result, due to Newcastle's lack of defense on both sides, the left back also inserted in to defend Manchester United's right winger Perisic.

When Lisic got the ball, he was still thinking about what to do next. After all, Newcastle's center was densely populated.

As a result, as soon as he saw Newcastle's full-back rushing up to defend him, he decisively passed the ball and passed the opponent with speed, and then made a move to cut inside, attracting the left center back to attack. When the left center back attacked, he decisively swept in front of the goal.

.

Lin Kedi rushed out of the crowd behind the left center back, and the players who were marking him alone could not keep up with him.

Lin Kedi took advantage of the goalkeeper's unpreparedness and swept with his right foot.

The ball hits the net.

2 to 0.

Lin Keen scored twice.

"This is Lin Kedi's 15th goal in 8 Premier League games. If you add in the 5 goals in the two Champions League games, Lin Kedi has scored 20 goals in 10 official games since joining Manchester United, averaging 20 goals per game.

The scoring efficiency of two goals is terrible!”

But Lin Kedi said that the Premier League's scoring efficiency has not yet reached an average of two goals per game, no!

Therefore, after the game changed sides in the second half, Manchester United got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt in the 59th minute.

Lin Kedi stood in front of the ball.

Newcastle goalkeeper Dubravka is very nervous, mainly because Lin Kedi joined Manchester United and scored 20 goals in 10 games, 4 of which were scored from free kicks.

The scoring efficiency of this free kick is also extremely high.

Dubravka did not dare to neglect and stood in front of the door to direct the movement of the wall.

But these are all in vain.

I saw Lin Kedi swinging his thigh and the ball had already entered the net.

Dubravka stood stunned on the spot and failed to make a save.

3 to 0.

"Lin Kedi scored a hat trick! This is Lin Kedi's 16th goal in 8 Premier League games. Lin Kedi not only averaged 2 goals per game in the Champions League, but also averaged 2 goals per game in the league.

A great achievement!”

After the goal was scored, the Newcastle team completely surrendered its guns.

After the 65th minute of the game, Lin Kedi was also replaced.

Because after this game is over, it will be the national team game day.

Lin Kedi has two World Cup qualifying matches during this cycle of national team match days.

Lippi had contacted Manchester United in advance and had also talked with Ten Hag. Lin Kedi will play in both games, but Lippi will replace Lin Kedi in advance as long as he is guaranteed to win.

Ten Hag faced a senior in the coaching industry, not to mention that the other party spoke so frankly. He also took the initiative to give in, saying that in the game against Newcastle, if he was guaranteed a 1-goal lead, he would be replaced more than 30 minutes early.

.

Of course, Ten Hahe had naturally communicated with Lin Kedi beforehand.

Of course Lin Kedi agreed.

After this game, Lin Kedi not only won the best player of the game, but also won the best player of September officially awarded by the Premier League.

Together they were handed over to Lin Kedi after the game.

When Lin Kedi was being interviewed.

The reporter also asked Lin Kedi a question.

"Lin, did you watch yesterday's Today Sports? Henry publicly stated on the show that you may be the best goal-scoring player in the world. I would like to ask, do you think Henry's evaluation is correct?"

"Haha, right - not right either!"

"Not right?"

"Because not only can I score goals, but my passing and defensive abilities are also pretty good, I think!"

After Lin Kedi gave a brief response, he ended the interview.

To be honest, Lin Kedi's schedule is very busy.

This game was held at 6 o'clock in the evening on October 6, BJ time, and the game ended at almost 9 o'clock.

The first game of the World Cup preliminaries was played at the Chinese team’s home court.

It will be held in Guangzhou on October 10th.
