Father Green

Chapter 1: Crystal Palace with ideas
For Dennis Fox, Charlotte has no choice. After having an in-depth conversation with the other party, Charlotte understands the other party's determination. After careful consideration, she also finds that there is indeed no place for the other party in her system, so Charlotte has no choice but to let go.

Fox has been "tuned" by Charlotte very well. The current Scottish defender can attack and defend well and can take both sides.In addition to the cost of introducing Fox 180 million pounds, Charlotte said that he needs a sincere offer before he will let Fox leave, otherwise Fox may have to wait until the next season's summer transfer period.

Fox also expressed his understanding of this point. After all, he is only 25 years old and he is in his prime. He is confident that he will find a good next home.

There is nothing to prepare for the game against Crystal Palace. The team is already familiar with the tactics in the middle of the season.So Charlotte's two-day training is just to train the team's physical reserves, and then to cooperate with the new players. After all, Southampton will start to exert its strength next.

In London's Schehurst Park Stadium, Charlotte made the best of the main force.Lambert, who has completely got rid of the injury, returned to the starting position. The midfielder is the Italian teenager Florenzi, Adam Lallana is on the left and El Ganassi is on the right.

The midfield partners are Wanyama and French midfielder Schneiderlin, and the central defender behind them is Jose Fonte with Bruma.The left full-back is "Black Rose" Danny Rose, the right is Richardson, and the goalkeeper is naturally the German kid Ter Stegen.

This is the four-two-three formation commonly used by Southampton this season, and it is also the formation that Charlotte himself is best at.Although Southampton has also used other formations, the four-two-three-one appearance rate accounts for almost 90.00%.

The Crystal Palace formed a [-] formation, which is not the [-] that Guardiola played after arriving in Bayern Munich.The opposing coach sent four defenders, one defensive midfielder, two central midfielders and two full-backs, with a speedy center forward Scannell at the front.

Any fool can see that this is a defensive and counterattack lineup. It sounds good to say that there are two central midfielders.

In this regard, at the press conference, Crystal Palace coach Dodge Friedman said: "Southampton is currently the leader of the league standings. They are not only a strong contender for promotion or even the league title. Therefore, we must Playing up the spirit of 12 points to deal with this game, any team that underestimated Southampton will suffer a big loss in the end. The result? I hope to get three points at home, and we need points very much now!"

Charlotte said that what Friedman said was so reasonable, he was speechless
Nima, he defended at home and was worried about being criticized by the media and fans, so he used me to block the knife. Does this mean that we are too strong? !
The results of Crystal Palace this season are not satisfactory. They only ranked No.38 in the standings with 13 points. The results of Crystal Palace in recent seasons have been very average. In the last two seasons, they ranked No.20 and No. 21 respectively. , which was just a success in relegation ashore.

Fortunately, there are 24 teams in the English Championship. If there were only twenty teams, Crystal Palace would have gone to League One this season.

And their luck this season is good, at least it seems that this year's relegation is no longer a problem.

But Nima, with your high or low ranking, you still need points?Who are you kidding?No matter how hard you try, you can't get the qualification for promotion, okay?

After the players from both sides came out, the game started soon.

Crystal Palace, which sits at home, did not start attacking blindly, but slowly opened up the formation, and then tried not to concede the ball.

Southampton, who played in an away game, was more impolite. Their press once reached between the opponent's central defender and goalkeeper. At first glance, it seemed that this was Southampton's home game, but Crystal Palace looked like a visiting team.

Since it was Tuesday, there were not many fans who came to watch the game live.The Schehurst Park Stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans to watch the game, only has about half of the attendance rate. Of course, the bigger factor may be that Crystal Palace's performance in the past few seasons has not been very good, which has affected their attendance rate.

After 10 minutes of testing, Crystal Palace finally started to attack.After the defensive midfielder was pressed by the Southampton midfielder, the football was returned to the captain McCarthy in the central defender position.The Irishman saw that the opponent's high-post press was relatively deep, so he sent a long pass with a kick.

One disadvantage of Southampton's tactics is that in order to ensure the rationality of the formation distance, the two central defenders are relatively forward when the team presses high.

So when McCarthy swung this kick, both Jose Fonte and Bruma had already pressed near the center line, and the ball flew directly over their heads and went behind them.

Just when the two looked up at the football flying in the sky, Scannell in front of them suddenly started to pass through the gap between them.

"Be careful!!" Schneiderlin immediately reminded his teammates, but it was too late.When Jose Fonte and Bruma turned around, the two of them could only watch the back of the Irish striker.

Standing on the sidelines, Charlotte glanced at Crystal Palace coach Dodge Friedman not far away, and had to say that this "regular" guy still had a lot of ideas.According to Tony Cotton's information, Charlotte knew that the Scottish coach was a fan of Crystal Palace. He made his debut in Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace when he was young, and played for Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United successively.But he stayed in the Crystal Palace the longest. He joined the Crystal Palace three times and played for the Blue Eagles for a total of [-] seasons, seven of which were the absolute main force.

In his last season, he returned to Crystal Palace on a free transfer from Xiulian United. At that time, Friedman, who was 34, did not play a league game for Crystal Palace. Instead, he started a new career as a coach.Eventually became the assistant coach of Crystal Palace. At the beginning of this season, he became the acting head coach of Crystal Palace, and he officially became a full-time manager in January and became the official head coach of Crystal Palace.

The 37-year-old Dodge Friedman is currently a young coach in the British Championship, but in Charlotte's view, the Scot is still too tender, even though he is still a decade younger than the opponent.

Didn't Charlotte think of what Friedman could see?Obviously impossible.

Seeing Scannell gradually approaching football, everyone thought that Southampton was in danger now, and the Irish striker was single-handedly as soon as he got the ball.

Everyone's attention was on McCarthy's pass, the two central defenders caught up and finally locked on Scannell.

But no one noticed the position of the goalkeeper Ter Stegen. When McCarthy passed the ball, Ter Stegen was no longer in the penalty area. The place three yards behind him was the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Naturally, Charlotte knows the weakness of Southampton's tactics. Since the central defender is pressing higher, the goalkeeper should also press up and keep a reasonable distance from the central defender. In this way, he can guard against the opponent's rear. The field opened and the big foot rushed to the neutral area behind the central defender.

Unless the opponent can drive to the neutral area behind the goalkeeper, let’s not talk about whether the opponent can pass to this position. Even if the football reaches this position, the closest to the football is the goalkeeper. But Ter Stegen, who has an absolute advantage in distance.In this regard, even the speed forwards such as Walcott, Ronaldo, Messi and Bell are not excluded.

Scannell’s eyes are only on the football rolling not far away, and the focus of his eyes is all on the beating “black and white elf”, causing the background other than the football to be blurred, a bit like the image on the camera , the football in the picture is clearly visible, but the lawn not far from the football and the opponent's goal are blurred.

But in his blur, a green shadow is getting closer and clearer.

Scannell changed his perspective slightly, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Ter Stegen approaching the football.Scannell was taken aback. He didn't know how the opponent appeared there. Based on his speed and distance, he speculated that the opponent should grab the football ahead of him, so Scannell gritted his teeth and tried his best. Swinging legs to chase the football.

At this time, everyone saw Ter Stegen who was closer to football.

Sure enough, the German goalkeeper grabbed the football before Scannell, and the opponent rushed over as soon as he touched the football.

Scannell's idea is very simple. Since he can't get the football, it is better to rush to grab it by himself, so instead of slowing down, he stretched out his foot towards Ter Stegen aggressively.

Ter Stegen swung his thigh directly, and seemed to want to make a big kick to clear the siege.But when he was about to touch the football, he took off most of his strength, pulled the football, and then half-turned on the spot to avoid the opponent's steal, and Scannell was in vain.

At this time, it was at the offensive point of the Crystal Palace, so after McCarthy passed the big foot, the players of the Crystal Palace pressed out with a tacit understanding.

Ter Stegen got the football and didn't give Scannell a chance to come back to grab it. Instead, he took the ball and ran towards the opponent's half.

"Be careful!!" The live commentator at Schehurst Park sounded the alarm!

The Southampton players seemed to have thought of something at this time, and began to press heavily on the opponent's core area, even pressing on the two central defenders.

Ter Stegen quickly took the ball to the center circle, and he encountered the winger Ambrose.Originally, Ambrose wanted to cut in and ambush behind Scannell. Fortunately, there was a support point at the critical moment, but he himself did not expect that after three seconds, he would become the first line of defense instead.
