Chapter 645: Golden left foot

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
As Southampton took the scoring lead early, the game became more and more open.

First, Manchester United, which was one goal behind, launched a counterattack and tried to tie the score.

Don't underestimate Manchester United, the Red Devils team has always been known for its spirit and fighting spirit, so when this team went crazy, even Southampton had to temporarily avoid the edge.

But Manchester United’s counterattack did not last long. Soon Southampton made a sharp counterattack and almost knocked on the goal guarded by De Gea again. Sturridge passed Tony Cross with lightning speed. At the moment of the pass, Manchester United's defense was torn apart, but unfortunately, after stopping the ball in the penalty area, he wanted to adjust the ball to his left foot.

In the end, an excellent single-handed opportunity was missed because of the missed fighter!

But this time the sharp counterattack also made Manchester United feel trembling, and the momentum of counterattack gradually ceased.

On the contrary, it was Southampton, after having survived Manchester United's crazy counterattack, gradually took control of the situation on the field.

The combination of Tony Cross and Modric's double defensive midfielder has become more and more tacitly coordinated and more skilled, combing Southampton's midfield in an orderly manner, and completely controlling the rhythm of the game at the feet of Southampton.

During the International Champions Cup, Southampton was most criticized for the team's offense.

After Gareth Bale and Neymar are gone, Suarez and Sanchez are traded. The Saints' frontcourt trident needs to re-run.

From the perspective of the game, Bielsa has clearly chosen Hazard on the left.

The Belgian midfielder is quite threatening whether it is holding the ball, dribbling or passing the ball. It is easy to make people forget Neymar.

In fact, as early as last season, Hazard had a period of time, relying on outstanding performance, conquered the coaching staff and fans.

Now, Neymar switched to Barcelona and the Belgian winger replaced him, which is a logical thing.

There is no doubt that Ibrahimovic occupies one of the main center positions.

On the other hand, it was on the right. The outside world thought that Suarez, who was introduced for 40 million pounds, should be the main force, and Sanchez would be the rotation and substitute. But who would have thought that Sturridge suddenly came out with his excellent performance in the warm-up match.

In this Community Shield Cup game, the England striker once again served as the starting lineup. He was very active and in very good form. However, he also missed an excellent scoring opportunity, which made people feel sorry.

But Sturridge's performance is also impressive.

But what really surprised people was the offense that came near the end of the first half in the 41st minute.

At that time, Southampton had just planned an offensive into the Manchester United penalty area. After being cleared, the ball was still controlled by Southampton, passed from the right to the frontcourt, and was given to the feet of James Rodriguez.

After the Colombian got the ball on the right side of the center circle, in order to avoid the defending Giggs, he passed the ball to Sturridge, and then rushed forward behind Giggs.

Sturridge knew it, and knocked the ball back, which happened to land on the sprinting route of James Rodríguez. After Colombia took the ball comfortably, he went forward, just avoiding the defensive player’s. Entangled.

Into the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United, Carrick resolutely grabbed the ball and James Rodriguez pushed the ball forward again.

Ibrahimović pulled to the front of the penalty area to respond, touched the ball with one foot, and then knocked back.

At this time, James Rodriguez had already circled behind Carrick, and when he received the ball, he was located just outside the arc of the large penalty area and entered the attack range.

Phil Jones was taken aback and quickly rushed out of the restricted area, but he rushed too hard.

The sly Columbian suddenly smashed the ball and smashed Phil Jones with ease.

Not only did the buckle pass, he followed closely behind him, squeezing his left foot, and suddenly shot a shot!

James Rodríguez’s shot was vigorous and heavy, with a very fierce spin. It seemed to go straight to the center, but in fact it turned an arc halfway and shot to the upper right of the goal. angle.

De Gea's reaction cannot be said to be fast enough, but this shot is amazing whether it is speed, strength or angle!

In the end, the Spanish goalkeeper could only watch the ball almost rubbing the corner between the post and the crossbar and hit the net!

When James Rodriguez broke the Manchester United goal again, almost all the fans in Wembley Stadium cheered, and even many people stood up from their seats and applauded the Colombians. !

It's wonderful, isn't it?

This kick can be called a wonderful world wave!

Yang Huan sat in the stands and laughed, seeing James Rodriguez rushing out of the stadium to celebrate, he also stood up excitedly and applauded the Colombian star!

"It's wonderful, Hames, it's a golden left foot!" Yang Huan shouted vigorously.

But his voice was drowned in the loud cheers and screams of Wembley Stadium!

Yang Huan sat down with a smile, thinking in his heart, two to zero, this game has basically been won.

In fact, think about it, the ability of Moyes and Ferguson is still far away.

If this game were changed to Ferguson, it would not be easy to win, but at least it would not be so miserable.

Specifically, it is unrealistic to tell the difference between the two coaches and it is difficult to be objective. It can only be said to be a feeling.

In the past two to three decades, everyone has become accustomed to Ferguson, Manchester United's coach.

Suddenly became Moyes, fans are not used to it, I am afraid the players are not used to it!

"Sometimes, the feeling of not understanding is the most terrifying!"

Yang Huan shook his head rather sadly.

Sitting next to Yang Huan were the chief executive of the Premier League, Richard Skudmoore, and the FA Chairman David Bernstein. The two heard the endless words of Young Master Huan. Very strange.

"You Southampton are full of talents. After you left Gareth Bale, Neymar and Vidal, you immediately killed a James Rodriguez. Master Huan, what else can you sigh about?"

"Yes, this Southampton offense does have a problem. Suarez and Sanchez are not able to integrate into the team. It is indeed worrying, but this does not just prove that the potential of this team is still huge?"

Yang Huan glanced at these two guys, his heart was funny, how could they guess what they were thinking?

But they are also right, Suarez and Sanchez failed to integrate into the team, there are pros and cons.

The advantage is that as the schedule progresses, once they successfully integrate into the team, it will bring great help to Southampton.

I believe no one in the world will doubt the offensive strength of these two players!

As for the drawbacks, one is that it is temporarily unable to help the team, and the other is when will they be able to integrate into the team? This is hard to say, and it may even eventually not be integrated into the team.

Of course, the possibility of not being integrated into the team and becoming a parallel importer is very small, because the reports given by the Research and Analysis Center are very optimistic about these two players and believe that they can bring huge improvements to the team.

"You guys, don't know what I'm thinking!" Yang Huan smiled and shook his head.

David Bernstein and Richard Scudmore looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.

My young master Huan, we are not roundworms in your stomach, of course I don’t know what you are thinking?

How about you tell us everything you think?

"Many people outside said that our strongest rival this season is Manchester City!"

Yang Huan looked ahead, the players had already returned to the court at the call of the referee, and the game had restarted.

"But... I have a feeling that our most powerful opponent is ourselves!"

When Richard Scudmore and David Bernstein heard this at first, they almost spit out.

Isn't this nonsense?

Which person, which team's strongest opponent is not himself?

But they had just resisted the urge to open the spray, they immediately realized the meaning of Master Huan's words.

Only those who are strong to a certain level and have reached a certain height are qualified to say this!

There is no doubt that, at least in the Premier League, Southampton has this qualification!

It makes people feel terrible to think about it!

How long is this?

It has been exactly three years since Yang Huan acquired Southampton to the present!

Three years ago, the Saints were still an England third-level league team, but three years later, Southampton has already become the strongest team in the Premier League, and even the latter one can be omitted.

Yes, many people say that Manchester City is strong enough to compete with Southampton.

But everyone knows that the biggest problem with Manchester City is that this team has never been able to condense into a strong whole.

But Southampton is different. The Saints' integrity is very strong, not only the player's ability, the team's tactics, but also the mental will of the entire team.

Perhaps, this is not just the role of the lunatic Bielsa!

Richard Scudmore and David Bernstein both looked at Yang Huan and thought to themselves, perhaps this young master Huan is the powerful core soul of Southampton!

Below the stadium, Southampton still pressed Manchester United to play, but the first half ended in two to zero.

But in the second half, Bielsa replaced Ibrahimović, Sturridge, Hazard and James Rodriguez in one breath, then replaced Suarez, Sanchez, and Ravel. Morrison and Pogba.

This is also the tradition of the Community Shield Cup. There is no strict restriction on the number of substitutions, and it is completely according to the wishes of both parties.

As a result, Bielsa replaced four in one go.

When the second half reached the 60th minute, he made another substitution and four more players.

I don’t know if it’s because of frequent substitutions, or because the players didn’t run well with each other. Southampton’s performance in the entire second half was very different from the first half.

The most eye-catching attack came from a forced breakthrough from the left by LaVille Morrison, who used speed and technique to pass the three Manchester United defenders in one breath, and forced a hole in Manchester United’s defense line and made a breakthrough. Large restricted area.

After the England winger entered the penalty area, facing Phil Jones, he calmly chose to knock back.

But Pogba, who was on the heels, made a shocking long shot from the outside of the penalty area. The quality was very high, but he was too angled. After hitting the crossbar, he popped out of the court.

This is also the best opportunity created in the second half of Southampton!

The combination of Matic and Kovacic, and the combination of Modric and Tony Kroos, are much more robust defensively, but the gap is quite obvious in terms of organization, sorting, passing and controlling rhythm.

This also made Yang Huan realize that after letting Cork, Isco and Vidal one after another, Southampton's midfielder began to be a little short.

The new season will face the challenges of the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup and other cups. Although there are young players such as Kovacic and Tillimans who play the cup, the thickness of the lineup is still affected.

It's okay if there is no injury or illness, if there is an injury or something, the team will be in trouble!

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but start thinking about whether to introduce a suitable midfielder as a substitute?

Who will be introduced?
