Chapter 834： Debut

"The players on both sides are ready to face off. The 2014 England Community Shield Cup game is about to kick off. The two sides are the league champion Saint Southampton and the FA Cup champion Gunners Arsenal. "

Amidst the cheers of the on-site commentator, the opposing sides have already opened their positions on the court.

"From the perspective of the lineup, both sides have done their best."

"As a London team, Arsenal played a four-three-two-one tactic in this game. The goalkeeper is Szczesny, and the back line is from left to right. And Juan Fran who just switched from Atletico Madrid this season."

"Wenger is very satisfied with this right-back, and judging from the pre-season International Champions Cup, Juan Fran's joining has really improved Arsenal's defense, especially on the right side."

"The midfield is still the configuration of three players, namely Wilshere Arteta and Ramsey, and the frontcourt is a combination of Cazorla Higuain and Ozil. This is also the best Arsenal last season. Strong lineup."

"Judging from the pre-season International Champions Cup, Arsenal's performance is quite good. Wenger also said in an interview that the Gunners showed a very good competitive state in the summer preparations, and he personally felt very satisfied."

"Compared to Arsenal's excellent form, Southampton's pre-season preparations are a bit disappointing.

"Bielsa's team did not perform well in the International Champions Cup. Many people believe that this is due to the lack of the main lineup. However, many people also believe that Modric Hames Rodriguez and Ha Vimartinez’s transfer caused the Saints’ control in the midfield to be weakened."

"In this game, Bielsa still adopted a four-three-three tactic. The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the defenders are Luke Shaola Portvarane and Danilo. David Alaba was previously affected by the warm-up. I suffered a slight injury and rest temporarily."

"The three midfielders are the combination of Pogbato Nicoros and Fabregas. This is also very surprising. Di Maria, who just switched from Real Madrid this season, was even placed on the squad by Bielsa. ."

"Among them, Fabregas used to be the captain of Arsenal. No one thought that after returning to the Premier League, Fabregas would play against Arsenal in his first game. Therefore, we can see that there are many gunners. The fans booed him in the stands."

"The front court trident is Hazard Suarez and Sanchez. This is the least controversial."

"From the list of Saints, Bielsa is still in the adjustment lineup, especially in the midfield. According to previous games and training, as well as the information we have received, Bielsa is the most reused by Tonicros. And if you need to strengthen the defense, Matic will be played."

"However, the other two players in the midfield, Di Maria Pogba, Fabregas, Oscar and Kovacic, have a good chance, and the veteran Kaka can also play a role in many key moments. Bielsa's card The noodles are quite luxurious, it depends on how he arranges them."

With a clear whistle from the referee, the audience cheered, and the game officially kicked off.

"The Arsenal team was the first to serve. Wenger kept making a pressing move towards the players from the sidelines. Obviously, the Gunners are going to take the lead."

"In the past, Southampton's attack after the opening has always been a weapon to defeat the enemy, so after the opening, it may be able to disrupt the rhythm of Southampton, and after Harvey Martinez switched to Bayern Munich, South The two central defenders in Ampton have not been stable enough."

"So, Wenger is attacking at this time, maybe he just wants to get a chance to score."

However, Arsenal's first attack failed to break into the Southampton penalty area.

Ozil tried to pass the ball to Higuain, but the ball was at the front of the penalty area and was intercepted by Varane, breaking the sideline.

"This is Rafael Varane. After Xavi Martinez left after the transfer, he was seen as the key player in the Saints' defense line for the next ten years. He was very eye-catching in the World Cup and just destroyed. The opponent’s offense is now organizing defense. If the command is determined, he is very general."

"In this game, he is partnered by French central defender Laporte. He is only 20 years old now. Bielsa attaches great importance to his left foot. He once said that the left center defender is best left footed and the right center defender. It’s the right foot, which is conducive to his defender’s ball system."

Arsenal's second attack still failed.

After the out-of-bounds ball was sent, Özil cut to the center, right back Juan Fran quickly edged in.

But Southampton's left-back, teenager Luke Shaw quickly followed up and entangled Juan Fran on the left side of the penalty area, forcing Juan Fran to accidentally lap and the ball went out of the baseline.

For Luke Shaw's steady defense this time, the Saints fans on the scene responded with warm applause.

Obviously, the Saints fans have high hopes for this local teenager.

"This is another Saint's youth player. The 19-year-old left-back Luke Shaw has a solid defense and goal kick."

Arsenal's tactic is to attack after the opening, so Southampton's goal kick soon fell to the feet of the Gunners, and the offensive quickly returned.

It can be seen that Wenger's abacus is very shrewd and determined, that is, after Harvey Martinez leaves the team, he will hit the weakness between your left center back and left back.

Who made you Laporte at left center and Luke Shaw at left back, both young players?

But Arsenal's offensive line is also very smart, not the kind of direct attack, it is not Ozil's style.

The Gunners' two frontcourt wings, Cazorla and Ozil, are more inclined to the center, giving up the wings, and at the same time mobilizing Southampton's defense line to be used by the full backs inserted in the back.

The first game just now was just a test. Soon, Arsenal tried again.

It was still on the right, still Özil took the ball from the ribs, after drawing Luke Shaw out of position, cut in, and then passed back to Ramsey, who made a diagonal pass to the side, Juan F Lan quickly inserts the upload.

Fortunately, in the penalty area, Laporte steadily grabbed the first spot, headed the ball out, and resolved a crisis.

"Arsenal's offensive is getting more and more effective. Just now, the first one was just a test, and the second one came true. It went straight into the penalty area. It seems that the Gunners' play style was also practiced."

Bielsa on the sidelines also saw it. He stood up from the ground, shouted a few times at the players on the court, and made some gestures. I am afraid that only the Southampton players know what it means.

But the result on the court is that Southampton's formation has shrunk.

Both Pogba and Fabregas retreated to the 30-meter area, and even rushed to the front of the restricted area.

But Arsenal's offense after the opening game was very impressive, and the cooperation was quite smooth.

This was another time Ozil took the ball on the right. After looking for Ramsey's cooperation, he passed it to Cazorla.

The Spaniard hit the goal directly, but the ball hit Varane's body. Wilshere wanted to play again, but Tonicros blocked the angle in time and resolved the crisis.

"Arsenal's attack after the opening was very resolute, putting in a lot of troops, and the offense was quite threatening, but the luck was a little bit worse, especially at the front of the big penalty area. It should be more patient."

After several consecutive attacks have been frustrated, Arsenal is also adjusting, and began to try to get the ball into the penalty area from the front of the penalty area, and give play to Higuain's advantage as an excellent scorer.

But the first time it was spread big, it was confiscated by Neuer directly.

In the second time, Higuain obviously did not appreciate Cazorla's passing intention and ran over, while Varane intercepted the ball.

I saw that the French central defender was calm after holding the ball, glanced forward, and passed the ball forward with one foot.

Sanchez received the ball, was interfered by Gibbs who was on the spot, and passed to Fabregas in the middle.

The latter is facing the direction of Arsenal's goal, facing the incoming ball, one stop and one push.

It was seen that the ball was almost in a straight line, passing through the gap between the two Arsenal centre-backs who pressed into the arc of the center circle.

Suarez, who has been waiting for opportunities, is like a cheetah, quickly passing by the two of them, chasing the ball at the fastest speed.

At this time, in front of him, there are no defensive players, and only one goalkeeper Szczesny is left.

"Single-handed Suarez" the on-site commentator shouted in surprise.

The emotions of all the fans in the audience were also mobilized.

Attack

This is the decision made by Szczesny.

He wants to fight Suarez's speed and see who gets the ball faster.

Because he knows very well that as long as Suarez receives the ball, it is almost impossible for him to block such a single shot.

But the facts proved that even if he attacked, he still couldn't stop it.

Although Suarez didn't have the speed of rushing, he was not slow, and he was very calm.

Seeing Szczesny attacked, he decisively grabbed Szczesny and stabbed the ball with his foot.

This stabbing just made the attacking Szczesny rush out.

Suarez flexibly bypassed Szczensny and caught up with the ball again, easily pushing the empty goal.

"...Suarez..."

"In the 16th minute, in the 16th minute, Suarez took the lead in Southampton scored the goal."

"This is a wonderful counterattack"

"Single goal from Uruguayan striker Suarez"

"For him to pass this wonderful kick, like a scalpel through the ball, it is Southampton's new aid, the former Arsenal captain, Fabregas"

"It's so beautiful. With a sharp counterattack, Southampton tore open the Gunners' goal."

"Who can think of it? Who would think of it? The first goal is not the dominant Arsenal."

"This is the most fascinating part of football games. It can always bring you huge surprises when you don't expect it."

The Saints fans at the scene were crazy

Almost every Saints fan rushed out of their seats and shouted over there.

Suarez rushed out of the stadium in one breath rushed under the stands of the Saints fans, listening to the cheers surging from the stands, he should hear it, all the fans were chanting His voice.

"The pass of Fabregas is very beautiful, the route and strength are just right, Suarez completed it very comfortably, and from this pass, it is not difficult to see Fabregas's pass. Skill."

"One to zero, Southampton temporarily takes the lead"

"Fàbregas's debut, the first official game in the Saints jersey, used a precise pass to open the goal for Southampton, and also achieved a goal for his own Saints career. Dreamy start"

"We can see that Fabregas did not celebrate like his teammates after assisting Suarez to score. Obviously he was also taking into account the feelings of Arsenal fans, which shows that he still has a lot of affection for the Gunners."

"Now, the pressure of the game has fallen on Arsenal."

"Will Wenger adjust the team's tactics?"
