Chapter 597： Double crown

"The ball passed to the left, Neymar stopped and dribbled the ball horizontally!"

"A cross along the front of the penalty area, Drogbara exits the penalty area, catches the ball and knocks back."

"Vidal moves forward, catches the ball and passes."

"Drogba stopped the ball and turned around and passed to the right."

"Sturridge quickly inserted into the penalty area and received the ball..."

"Pretty, Terry stuck firmly in position. Without a chance, Sturridge had to pass back!"

"Drogba received the ball at the front of the penalty area, unguarded, a good chance, just kick the ball!"

"The ball is in!!!"

"!!!"

"In the eleventh minute of the first half, the former Chelsea player, Didier Drogba, used a wonderful long shot from the front of the penalty area to penetrate the goal guarded by Cech, one to zero!"

"Southampton played too delicately in this attack!"

"From Neymar on the left to cut the ball in, to Drogbara coming out of the penalty area to meet, then to Vidal's forward insertion, and Sturridge's diagonal insertion of the penalty area, they are doing everything possible to make Chelsea in the penalty area. Cutting-edge defensive loopholes!"

"It's wonderful. Chelsea's defense lasted only eleven minutes before being knocked on by the Saints!"

"Drogba, the former Chelsea Warcraft, after switching to Southampton, almost made his old club suffer!"

"Interestingly, in this game Southampton's starting lineup, including Drogba, Sturridge and Matic, are all former Chelsea players!"

"In Chelsea's team, Benatia and Adam Lallana are former Southampton players."

"But these two teams are the worst enemies in the Premier League this season. Three days ago, in the FA Cup final in England, Southampton beat Chelsea 5-0."

"Now, judging from the ten minutes since the start of this game, Chelsea still has not been able to find effective strategies to restrain Southampton, nor have they been able to get out of the shadow of the fiasco three days ago."

…………

…………

As the game resumed, Chelsea won the kick-off right.

But soon, the ball was out of the control of the Blues and returned to Southampton's feet.

"Compared to a year ago, the changes in Southampton are really impressive!"

As the president of UEFA, Platini is also a former superstar figure in the world. Watching the football can naturally see the doorways that other laymen can't see.

"What's the difference?" Yang Huan asked with a grin.

"Are you testing me?" Platini was a little funny.

Damn you, how can I say that I am also the president of UEFA? You ask me in person like this, if I can’t answer, how can I correct it? Wouldn't it be shameful in front of so many people?

But Young Master Huan did raise his brows, still grinning, as if he was saying, I can't trouble you!

Platini didn't know anything, thought for a while, nodded and said: "The main reason is that the entire tactical system has become more sophisticated, especially in parts."

"The Southampton tactics a year ago were very advanced, especially the high-intensity press and pressure, which is very impressive, but this tactic is good, but it is too physical and consumes too much."

"So, in the past year, Bielsa should mainly make a fuss about details."

"On the whole, the Saints' tactical concept is still Bielsa's, and the defensive end is still the same. In the shortest time, they can regain the ball, but the same set of high-defense, one year later Now, the Saints have done a more sophisticated job of cutting the opponent's passing route and cutting the opponent's offensive space with the ball."

Speaking of this, Platini nodded in praise, "Obviously, Bielsa's team has made great efforts!"

When Yang Huan heard this, he had to turn his head slightly.

Platini is right!

The same is defensive. Compared with last season, Southampton has indeed improved considerably this season.

However, in the eyes of many people, Southampton is still the same, desperately high.

As everyone knows, with this set of high positions, Southampton can play many different kinds of flowers.

The most obvious point is that the player's energy consumption is much less than last season.

At this moment, in the stadium, Chelsea's attack wanted to pass to Juan Mata, but it was destroyed by Matic.

Although the ball is still at Chelsea's feet, the Blues have to pass back to the backcourt and then drive to the frontcourt.

"Chelsea failed to find an effective pass penetration route, so they could only throw their feet frequently and fail!"

Platini sighed, shaking his head.

After seeing Southampton regaining possession of the ball, condescending to see Southampton's offensive overall situation.

"The defensive end has been upgraded, and the offensive end has made considerable improvements."

Platini saw some offensive doorways.

"The Saints' speed from defensive to offensive is very resolute, but instead of speeding up the entire midfield together as in the past, it is very targeted. Obviously, it is for a reasonable allocation of players' physical consumption."

Yang Huan nodded with a smile, believing it.

"The wing breaks through the center, the wing cuts in the ribs to attack, then inserts in the center, and then inserts the outer ribs to attack..."

Platini giggled in surprise.

"Your entire offense in Southampton has very rich means. The switching is very delicate, the players have high execution ability, and the three lines are kept tight, the flexibility is very good, whether it is offense or defense, the effect is particularly ideal!"

"In contrast, Chelsea, David Luiz and Mikel formed a double midfielder, the effect is not ideal, Ramirez and Lampard intervened after the midfield, there is no threat as imagined."

"In the entire starting lineup, after Juan Mata, the only one with the ability to advance the ball, was strangled to death, Chelsea's entire offensive system was frozen, and there was no threat at all!"

Speaking of this, Platini sighed, "From the perspective of starting tactics, Zenden completely let Bielsa restrain him."

After a pause, he said again: "Perhaps, he should consider Adam Lallana."

But immediately felt that it was not very appropriate, "If you play Adam Lallana, the midfielder may not be able to hold it!"

The UEFA president quickly shook his head, "No way, Chelsea's entire midfield is completely cut apart, without cooperation, not only causing his own offense and defense to be disadvantaged, but also giving Too much space in Southampton."

Obviously, Platini also feels that Chelsea has a very difficult chance of winning.

At least, the one to zero on the scene and Southampton's 64% possession rate all illustrate this point.

…………

…………

Facts have proved that it is really difficult for Chelsea to have a chance.

In the whole game, the Blues' first shot occurred in the 31st minute.

It is hard to imagine that Chelsea would be so embarrassed by the newly promoted Premier League from Southampton that they could not shoot within half an hour, and finally had to be forced to complete the first shot by Lampard.

This is a long shot of very high quality but a long distance.

Neuer steadily lifted the ball out of the crossbar, and then steadily took Chelsea's corner kick from the air.

After that, Southampton continued to launch a wave of offensives against Chelsea, but in the end it failed to score.

Chelsea was very passive throughout the first half, and even only hit the embarrassing data of a three-foot shot.

In the second half, after Southampton was adjusted by the intermission, it hit Chelsea directly as soon as it came up.

Under the saint's old fist, the Blues once again revealed their flaws.

A precise, close-to-the-ground pass from Matic from the backcourt. Drogba firmly suppressed Terry in the front and controlled the ball in the penalty area. Sturridge on the right was very clever and threw away Ash. Leigh Cole ran back to the center.

Drogba defeated Terry in the penalty area, stopped the ball, turned his back to the goal, and passed the ball to the center.

James Rodriguez, who was inserted after the high speed, rushed into the big penalty area under the entanglement of David Luiz, saw the ball, and knocked the ball to the right side diagonally. Sturridge.

The England striker faced Hames Rodriguez’s wonderful heel pass without wasting the generous donations of his teammates. After he jammed Mikel with his body, he stopped with his right foot and the whole person followed. A curved ball with his left foot rubbed a shot.

The ball traversed a delicate arc, with an extremely fierce spin, hit the upper left corner of the goal.

Despite Cech's reaction, he still failed to prevent the ball from reaching the net!

Two to zero!

Under the pressure of Southampton's consecutive goals, Chelsea's acting head coach Zenden finally couldn't hold it.

The former Dutch name made three consecutive substitution adjustments in just ten minutes, with the intention of adjusting the team and further strengthening the team's offense.

In particular, Adam Lallana's appearance has indeed activated Chelsea's frontcourt attack.

But in this way, it also brought huge hidden dangers to the defense line.

Ever since, the two sides of Neymar and Sturridge were completely activated.

Especially Neymar.

Throughout the game, the Brazilian star did not have an eye-catching performance.

But with Chelsea’s changes, the left side gained more space for activities, and Neymar began to exert his outstanding personal strength. He made breakthroughs on the left side again and again, creating threats and becoming the most eye-catching player on the court. Players.

In the last 30 minutes of the second half, it became Neymar's solo.

Especially in the eighty-first minute, Alaba knocked back from the bottom and Neymar took the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area.

The Chelsea defense, which was upset by Neymar throughout the second half, was once again shocked.

At the moment the Brazilian star took the ball, four Chelsea players around him approached him.

But Neymar's art master was bold, a smash into the big penalty area, avoiding Chelsea's first wave of defensive players, soon ushered in Benatia.

In the penalty area, the defensive side did not dare to kick easily, but Neymar had no such scruples.

I saw that the Brazilian was like a mad dragon, suddenly speeding up after an emergency stop in the penalty area, and was born on Benatia's body, creating a gap, forcing his left foot to pick a pass.

Drogba has been patiently waiting for a pass from Neymar. As soon as he saw the ball coming, the Ivorian immediately flew up, crushed Terry with his body, and hit the goal with a header!

Three to zero!

Drogba scored twice!

The whole Amsterdam Arena is boiling!

Countless fans are chanting Neymar, chanting Drogba's name!

Three to zero, in such a crucial competition, Southampton defeated Chelsea!

Especially after that, Bielsa was very smart to replace Neymar, Drogba and Xavi Martinez so that these three players can accept all the fans from the audience. Applause and cheers.

Enjoy this heroic treatment, this is what they deserve.

Because it is their outstanding performance and performance that has made Southampton today's results!

Therefore, all the Saints fans on the scene did not give a high degree of appreciation and affirmation.

And the game finally ended with a burst of cheers from the Saints fans, and loudly, we are the champion.

Southampton relied on Drogba's two goals and Sturridge's goal, three to zero, once again defeated Chelsea.

Following the FA Cup champion, Southampton successfully defended the UEFA Europa League champion!

Double crown!

Let all Saints fans look forward to the league championship! r1148
