Chapter 121: Southampton-style quick counterattack

Bruant naturally did not get Morrison's pass, because Florenzi happened to get stuck in the middle of the two and broke the football.

The players of West Bromwich Albion were stunned for three seconds before reacting, and then threw themselves into the counterattack.

But at this time Florenzi had already passed the ball. After the steal, he only took two steps, and then drove into the frontcourt with a big kick.

Seeing the opponent, a big-footed West Bromwich Albion player, felt a little relieved. Generally, big feet of this level rushed to make a clearance.

But the facts were obviously beyond the expectations of the "Bloomers" players. The football flew to their unguarded left, and the left back Xiao Li had already advanced into the frontcourt.

Olsen in the middle came over to get the ball, because there is no teammate in this position, and he is the closest to the ball.

But the captain of West Bromwich Albion just ran two steps, and a red and white shadow had already rushed over from the wing. Olsen subconsciously raised his arm to signal the opposing player to be offside.

But the line referee did not raise the flag. He could see clearly that the opponent's player was still in front of the two central defenders at the moment of passing the ball. central defender.

The one who can appear in this position is naturally Southampton's "Ferrari small sports car" Al Ganassi. He got in touch with football before Olsen.Originally, Florenzi passed the ball to him, so the football is in a straight line from the Belgian's position, but the passing distance is a bit far.

Of course, this is also intentional by Florenzi. Although he has not been in the team for a long time, he is still very clear about the speed of his new teammate. He just wants to leave room for El Ganassi to sprint. This is After the standard hit!
Al Ganassi waded the ball five yards and then sped up to catch up.Olson didn't grab the football, so he could only follow closely behind the opponent.

In terms of dribbling speed, Al Ganassi is the best in the British Championship. Even in the Premier League, the little tiger Walcott, Bale and others can be better than the Belgians.

So Olson could only look at Al Ganassi's back, gritted his teeth and chased desperately.

The goalkeeper Foster, who came on loan, can naturally see that the distance between the captain and Al Ganassi is getting farther and farther.

So Foster decided to abandon the door and attack. He ran towards Al Ganassi. Although he couldn't use his hands outside the penalty area, it would be nice to have a back and forth attack with Olsen.

But Al Ganassi didn't give the opponent a chance, the decisive factor in counterattack is speed!This is what his boss Charlotte told him, so he didn't have the idea of ​​entangled with the opposing two players, although that would look handsome.

But what about being handsome?It would be embarrassing if you can't score.

The current Al Ganassi is no longer the Al Ganassi who just came to Southampton in the midsummer. Now the Belgian Flying Wing knows the importance of teamwork and how to play football when it falls to the ground.

So he chose to pass the football, and the football flew sideways across the pitch, from Southampton's right side to the left side.

Since West Bromwich Albion played against Southampton before, their two full-backs were quite forward, and there were no players on the left to defend, so the right was naturally open.

With Al Ganassi on the move, Sterling sprinted up from behind and got the ball in the open.

After seeing Al Ganassi kicking and confirming that the football had flown and not the opponent's fake move, the goalkeeper Foster immediately turned from the direction and flew to the other side.

Sterling, who got the football, did not break through from the side like Al Ganassi, he chose to cut inside!
In the Southampton first team, the Belgian is of course the first brother in terms of speed, but Sturridge and Sterling are tied for second.

So Sterling's speed is enough for the opponent to drink a pot, and Sterling is shorter than Al Ganassi, and Sterling with a low center of gravity is simply the representative of "little fast spirit".

Gabriel, the other central defender who stayed behind, saw the opponent's intentions, so he knew that his speed was not the opponent's opponent, so he planned to cross the opponent's only way and get stuck.

Charlotte showed an unknown smile on the sidelines. No one knew what he was laughing at, and of course no one paid attention to him. After all, this was a very threatening offensive moment for Southampton.

From the big screen of the stadium, it can be seen that Sterling almost ran towards Gabriel and Foster with the ball, which made many neutral players sigh. Sterling is younger and inexperienced.

It is obviously a very good opportunity for you to attack. If the speed of the opponent cannot keep up with you, you should sprint with the ball and wait until you are at a safe distance before cutting inside. The reason for rushing away?
Both Gabriel and Foster smiled, and it seemed to them that it was not difficult to defend the ball.

But Sterling was about to come into close contact with the opponent in the high-speed dribbling. He stepped on the football unexpectedly-stop!

Neither Foster nor Gabriel could react. The speed of the two was brought to the extreme, and they ran past in an instant.

Sterling's space came out, and the two who ran past left him a large open area, but Sterling did not change to take the ball to himself.

The mighty and domineering boss once said: "No matter how fast you run, can you still run fast with the ball?!"

So Sterling passed the football directly, diagonally in the middle!

As soon as the football was in position, the unguarded Argentine striker Icardi arrived in position and easily entered the goal with the ball.

Although it was an empty goal that could be scored with eyes closed without any difficulty, Icardi still kicked the football into the goal very seriously and did not make any fancy moves.

There are countless examples in football history of being unable to advance to an empty goal due to smugness, and the most of them happened to their South American players.

Now Icardi's position is in jeopardy. If such an empty goal is slipped by himself, then he believes that he will not get any chance to play until the end of this season.

So the Argentines dare not be careless, not afraid of [-] but just in case.
The football rolled into the goal without any accident. The Southampton fans who came to watch the away game shouted like crazy. The stands have fallen into madness. Fortunately, the quality of the Hawthorn Stadium is still very reliable. Yes, so no one will worry about the stands being stomped down by themselves.

Charlotte just wanted to have a passionate celebration, but was hugged by Icardi who was flying over.

It is indeed a joy to be able to equalize the game against the Premier League team. Southampton players and fans are celebrating wildly.

On the other side, Hodgson was furious at his team, and even the center shooter was left unguarded. Isn't this self-defeating?
Charlotte's team has a characteristic, that is, once it is in the state, it is out of control.

When the game restarted, Southampton, who had been under pressure from West Bromwich Albion, began to play against each other. The key is that the two teams played equally well.

Charlotte's original intention is to continue to defend and counterattack. West Bromwich Albion who was "stolen" a goal will definitely be furious, so the best choice at this time is to let the opponent press up to release their anger, while Southampton is looking for a counterattack. Opportunity, ready to "steal" the second.

But when he saw the morale of the players was so high, Charlotte simply changed his plan. He waved his hand - press on!

No.606 minutes, Southampton took the ball to attack, Icardi leaned on Gabriel and took the ball back to Florenzi who came in, Roma Sao Nian just got the ball and was brought down by the opponent's midfielder .The referee gave Southampton a direct free kick in the front court. Usually such a ball is punished by Lambert, Lallana and Schneiderlin, but in this game, the three are not on the court.

At this time, Charlotte pointed to Pogba and signaled for the French midfielder to take a free kick.

Charlotte knew that Pogba usually practiced free kicks and long shots with Jack Stephens of the youth team, so he planned to let Pogba try it. Of course, this distance and position Pogba is far away. Shooting is also more advantageous.

With the coach's instructions, it was much easier. Florenzi handed the ball to Pogba and patted him on the shoulder.

Pogba was very depressed, because Florenzi's gesture was like a big brother encouraging a younger brother.

Pogba, who had set up the football, swung his kick and kicked the football. This is a powerful and unsinkable heavy cannon, and the football flew high and far.

Foster stood still and moved his hand joints, he didn't even bother to take off.

The football flew directly into the second-floor stands of the Hawthorns
Pogba is even more depressed!
Southampton began to drop back because the opponent was about to take a goal kick.Although the offense was fierce before, the defense cannot relax.

While the caddy was still holding the ball, Charlotte pulled Pogba, who was running back, to his side, and whispered something to him.

Pogba grinned after hearing this: "No problem, boss!" Then he trotted onto the field, sweeping away his previous depression.

Foster had already positioned the ball. After the referee blew his whistle, he drove the football directly to the middle circle with a big foot.

The players of the two teams immediately started a fierce battle, but the football was still won by the players of West Bromwich Albion.Sanel, who was 1.9 meters tall, beat Florenzi and Pogba to grab the football.

Florenzi is not tall, and his bounce is average.Although Pogba bounces well, he is also 1.8 meters six.But just now his body is still thin, in Chinese it means "thin like a monkey".

During this period of time, Charlotte is also asking nutritionists and physical coaches to add some fat and muscle to him. He is really too thin. He is only 1.8 kg tall at 72 meters.

Pogba, whose body has not yet achieved results, was naturally crushed by the mature Sanel who was about to "wither" in the fight for the top, and was almost squeezed away by the opponent.
