Chapter 66： Goal!

When everyone sees Benatia, the deepest impression must be his eyes.

I never seem to wake up.

But only those who have actually competed with him one-on-one on the court can personally experience the defensive ability of this central defender.

Since coming to Southampton, Benatia has always been favored and relied on by Bielsa. His partner was first the veteran Jose Wundt, and later became the young teenager Varane, but Benatia’s position But thunder can't move.

Many fans are full of doubts about Southampton's invincibility in the new season, doubting the strength of the team, but Benatia never doubted it because, like all his teammates, he knew the strength of the team.

Then why is Southampton unable to exert this strength?

Benatia believes that it is still a matter of tactical adaptability.

Take his central defender as an example, leaving aside the defense of the midfielders and the planning of the team's entire defensive system, let's talk about one of the trivial details, running positions.

The position of a defender is a technical job. Who do you partner with, where are your teammates, how to respond...

These are all problems!

And you have to know that once a defender is intercepted, it is a single move.

Southampton has lost this kind of goal this season. Goalkeeper Kevin Davis passed it to Varane. The French teenager stopped the ball and someone appeared behind him. It was too late to pass, so he lost the ball. , Gave the opponent a single move.

Whose question?

Many fans and the media accused Varane, but Kevin Davis took the initiative to apologize in the locker room after the game.

is just a matter of running position, and Southampton was tossed up and down.

What's more, the tactics of football are complicated, and running is only a small part of it.

When Kevin Davis was behind him, Benatia always felt uneasy. He was afraid of a situation that would catch him off guard.

But in this game, behind him stood the German national team's national gate, Manuel Neuer.

The German goalkeeper sits in front of the goal line, and Benatia has the confidence.

What made him more confident was that Neuer shouted at the two central defenders in front of him just after the game began.

"Don't shrink in the big penalty area. The coach tells you how to fight, you fight it, go up when you need to go, shrink when you need to shrink, there is me behind you!"

What is momentum?

This is the momentum of top players!

Benatia and Varane glanced at each other, then turned back, glanced at Neuer, and both nodded at the German door god.

…………

Seeing that the team got the right to serve, but just sent the ball to Charlton’s 30-meter area, the ball was broken.

Charlton hit a counterattack. After the midfielder Semedo got the ball, he passed it to Bradley Wright Phillips.

Benatia saw that Bradley Wright Phillips was short, flexible, and fast, and he couldn't have enough space to take the ball, so he made a decision immediately, "I'm going up!"

The Moroccan shouted to his teammates in jerky English.

Language barriers, this is another problem encountered by the international column in Southampton.

As soon as Varane saw him go up and move to the middle, Neuer stared forward as if he was facing an enemy.

Bradley Wright Phillips just got the ball, Benatia immediately got close.

The Moroccan is tall, like a dark cloud covering the top, blocking Wright Phillips. The surging momentum caused Wright Phillips to turn around and protect the ball.

Want to try to turn around, Benatia made a clean kick, but while stealing the ball, he tripped Wright Phillips.

gave Charlton an indirect free kick 30 meters away.

"Get rid of these **** Southamptons!"

"Come on, Charlton!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

The Charlton fans in the stands suddenly cheered.

This is a chance to score and set the ball!

In the chair stand, John Hunter stood up, clapped vigorously, and cheered loudly.

"Good chance, go ahead and give them a little bit of power!"

The group of dog-legs around 　　 also followed suit one by one.

It looked as if Charlton had already scored a goal.

"As for? A set-piece, it's like that? It's so small!"

Yang Huan looked at this group of fussy guys, no matter how they looked at it, he didn't feel pleasing to the eye. It was too shameful for the rich second generation.

However, it is not difficult to see that these guys have all spent their money on Yang Huan's gambling game.

If you lose, your face must be extremely beautiful.

Below the court, Charlton’s head coach Phil Parkinson rushed out to command the team, arranging how to play this free kick attack. Several tall players of the team also rushed into the Southampton penalty area.

With the referee's whistle, the ball was taken out and fell into the penalty area.

I saw German goalkeeper Neuer, who played for Southampton for the first time, suddenly rushed out of the penalty area, leaped high, raised his hands above his head, grabbed the ball in mid-air before everyone else, and landed like a god. Restricted area.

"Give me all!" Neuer pointed forward, rushed forward quickly, and drove forward with a big foot.

But the game has just begun, Charlton is also nervously guarding Southampton.

So, this time the fast break was not completed.

But the ball was controlled by Southampton, midfielder Adam Lallana saw no chance and passed the ball back.

Varane stopped the ball on the defensive line, and saw Carvajal on the right raising his hand for the ball, and he kicked the ball directly.

Carvajal stopped the ball on the right and quickly moved forward.

When he rushed into Charlton’s half, he happened to see Chamberlain and Adam Lallana running one after another, and they were immediately divided into the middle.

Adam Lallana faced the ball and directly pushed the ball to Chamberlain.

The Southampton teenager rushed forward, but Adam Lallana's kick was not very good. He stopped a bit too late, which slowed down and was successfully caught by the opponent's midfielder Semedo.

Chamberlain had just intercepted the ball, and immediately put in a counter grab, fell to the ground and shoveled, and broke the ball again.

Adam Lallana caught up, and directly stab Carvajal on the right.

Fast high-intensity midfield pressure, this is the biggest change in Southampton this season.

After four games of familiarity and more than a month of training, they have adapted to Bielsa's tactical style and the requirements of the game.

Carvajal got the ball and looked up at the penalty area.

Vidal has rushed into the penalty area, and Neymar and Stromman in the back row have also followed the front of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic?

Carvajal wants to find the commanding height of this frontcourt!

click later!

The Swedish center is too conspicuous!

When Carvajal saw Ibrahimovic, he stretched his right foot and made a pass.

Phil Parkinson was on the sidelines, first paying attention to Southampton’s frontcourt counter-robbing. After seeing Carvajal steal the ball, his first reaction was to look at the penalty area. After sweeping, he saw Ibrahimo. Vicki, the 31-year-old Spanish veteran Miguel Le Laila followed him on his right.

"Be careful Ibrahimovic!" Parkinson shouted at the court.

But as soon as he shouted, the Swedish center suddenly started in the penalty area.

What surprised Miguel Le Laila was that the Swedish center was not shorter than him, but his flexibility was much better than him, especially at the start, he was directly thrown away.

When he reacted, Ibrahimovic had already rushed to the front of the small penalty area.

Goalkeeper Elliott quickly moved to the left, and even fell to the ground early, trying to block Ibrahimovic's close shot.

But the Swedish center is too cunning. He noticed Elliott's move, and he stretched his right foot to meet the ball in midair.

The ball turned in one direction, passed Elliott's left side, and went straight to the right side of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

The Southampton fan Harry in the stands grabbed the guardrail and shouted excitedly, waving his arms.

The drum sound became denser, and the drummer was hitting hard with all his strength.

More than 4,000 fans in Southampton cheered forgotten.

Ibrahimović rushed out of the court with a calm face, without seeing even the slightest joy of scoring on his face.

Maybe, for him, such a goal is too easy, too easy!

Charlton looked at the ball in the goal line in frustration throughout the defense. They didn't understand yet, why suddenly, the ball was scored?

Is it true that the world's top superstars are really that strong?

In the stands, Yang Huan got up from his seat with excitement after seeing Ibrahimovic scored.

"Well done, well done, Zlatan!"

After finishing speaking, Yang happily gave Zhang Ning a tight hug. After making the beauty face flushed, he turned to high-five to celebrate with Sun Yue and others.

"1:0, we will win this game!"

Unlike Yang Huan’s excited celebration, at the moment Ibrahimovic scored, John Hunter felt as if his heart had been cut by someone, and the hot sting made him almost breathless. .

Goal?

Southampton scored like this?

Within three minutes of the start, did Southampton score a goal?

Is Charlton’s line of defense papery?

A goal of 500,000 pounds, John Hunter, no matter how rich, has the urge to cry, he felt that Charlton had not lost the ball, but his money, and threw it directly into the Thames.

"Damn, damn, damn!"

John Hunter was very angry. He stood up and snarled at the players on the court, "Fucking, what do you all do for food? How easily were you scored by Southampton? You simply don't deserve to be players. , It's all **** trash!"

He was heartache, and the rich second generations beside him were also heartache, and they also lost money.

"Yeah, a bunch of junk, loosing the ball in the first three minutes, this is more junk than junk!"

"I haven't seen such a fool, how did the guard stare at someone? Didn't I see Ibrahimovic?"

"Damn, did you take money from Southampton?"

Yang Huan listened, but was not happy.

"Hey, familiar with familiar, talking nonsense, be careful I sue you for slander!"

Yang Huan pointed at the rich second generation and screamed, "I have no abilities. I lost the ball. Who do you blame?"

John Hunter was mad, but when he heard Yang Huan's scolding, he calmed down instead, and kept telling himself in his heart that it was only three minutes, only three minutes and there was time. And opportunity.

"Don't be too arrogant, the game has just begun. You sneaked a goal, what's so great?"

After finally calming down, John Hunter also forced himself to calm down and immediately responded.

"Yes, isn't it a goal?"

"Luck, and scored a goal, do you think you will win?"

"When a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it is hard to tell who loses and who wins!"

Yang Huan has won the ball now, and he is in a good mood, and he is not familiar with them.

"Then let's wait and see."

John Hunter is also very nervous staring at the players on the court. The game has restarted. Charlton is still very passive on the scene and retreats across the board.

"God, although I am not very religious, you must help me. You can't lose this game, you can't lose!"

He knows very well that he doesn't have half a million pounds to lose.

Not to mention, looking at the momentum of Southampton now, I am afraid it is not just willing to score a goal!

When John Hunter prayed to his God, Neymar took the ball from the left and cut to the center with Adam Lallana. The England midfielder took the ball from the front of the penalty area. After that, pass the left post.

Neymar drilled straight into the left post like a bolt of lightning, easily volleyed with his left foot in front of the goal, and broke Charlton’s goal again.

2: 0!
