Chapter 137: Some nervous Southampton

Charlotte has no other choice. Whether it is the flexible Suarez or the old and hardened Dirk, these are enough for Southampton, not to mention players like Downing and Gerrard.

So Charlotte has no better choice, but to give a hard midfield sweep and interception combination to create some trouble for the opponent.For this defensive counterattack formation, he even put the team's vice-captain Adam Lallana on the bench.

Adam Lallana's overall view and ability to handle the ball are very good, but his speed is too slow, and midfield interception and sweeping are not his characteristics, so he can only be temporarily sacrificed.

During Charlotte's closed training, he also studied many of Liverpool's games this season. In the end, he found that although Downing did not perform well in the league, he has played 32 times without scoring or assisting, but in the League Cup In a cup match like the FA Cup, Tangning played very well.

This season's League Cup ended last month. Thanks to Downing's excellent performance, Liverpool won the championship all the way through.

As for the FA Cup so far, Downing is also one of Liverpool's major projects. His performance in the FA Cup is even better than the top scorer Suarez.

This is not good news for Charlotte, because while he is on guard against Dirk, Suarez and Gerrard, he also has to focus on taking care of this local magic wing.

Before the game, Charlotte and Dalglish shook hands.

"It's an honor to compete with you, Mr. Dalglish." Charlotte looked polite.

The so-called do not hit the smiling face, and whether the other party has a feud with himself, facing such a low-level team and such a "small" opponent, the Scots will naturally not lose their demeanor: "Mr. Charlotte is young and promising, It looks like there will be an interesting opponent in the league next season."

Of course Charlotte wouldn't say something rude like "You're going to be fired next month and a Northern Irishman named Brendan Rogers will replace you", "spoiler" is not Charlotte's style , so he just said "Thank you" modestly and returned to his position.

Looking back, Dalglish smiled at his assistant Steve Clarke: "That's a nice lad."

Clark also smiled: "Next season, he will become the youngest head coach in the Premier League and even the five major leagues. Even an old man like me is a bit envious. Well, if he can survive this summer without being fired."

Dalglish shook his head: "Southampton won't be that stupid. The consequences of dismissing his achievements are not easy to bear. The club will at least let him play in the Premier League for a period of time. Firing him will give an answer to the fans and the players."

The 60-year-old Dalglish has spent his whole life in British football, so he can see professional football more clearly.

"Okay, the game between the two sides has officially started. The first kick-off from the left to the right of the screen is the red jersey Liverpool, and the yellow jersey from the right to the left of the screen is Saints Southampton. .” Zhan Jun began to comment.

In the middle circle, Dirk Kuitt kicked the football to Suarez, then the Dutch veteran started running towards the opponent's half, Suarez passed the ball to the captain Gerrard in the midfield, and the Uruguayan followed. Southampton's running back.

Gerrard took the ball to avoid Lambert's pressing and then passed the football to Downing on the wing. After the winger got the ball, the Magic Wing wanted to open up space on the wing, but Southampton's players had already been beaten One of the players instructed to focus on was Downing, so he encountered the joint defense of Jack Corker and Al Ganassi on the wing.

The game also saw some defensive duties given to Sturridge and Al Ganassi on both sides when the opposition had the ball.

Tangning had no choice but to pass the ball back to Gerrard who came to support him.After Gerrard got the ball, he paused and adjusted the ball.

The football flew across the half-court and found the veteran Dutch player in the frontcourt directly.In the fight for the top, the Portuguese central defender Jose Fonte was not the opponent of the opponent, allowing Dirk to get the ball.

The ball was headed down by Dirk Dirk and left open, and Suarez who followed up won the ball and hit the goal directly.

"Suarez!!!"

Football is played in the middle, and Ter Stegen, who has already established his position, easily holds the opponent's shot in his arms.

"It's a pity, it's a bit right."

"Only 1 minute into the game, Liverpool gave Southampton a bad start. It seems that Southampton is really dangerous in this game." Zhan Jun was a little entangled. He was a diehard Liverpool fan. Just watch the Liverpool game, but today he doesn't know who he hopes to win.

Charlotte was a little annoyed. Before the game, he repeatedly told him not to give Gerrard, the core midfielder of the opponent, a chance to take the ball and dribble easily. As a result, Gerrard not only had time to stop the football, but also adjusted it.
For such a long time, no one forced it up.And Suarez was unmarked, he easily found an opportunity in the crowd, received the ball from Dirk Dirk and completed the shot.

"Damn it, are you sleepwalking?? Force it up! Force it up!! Don't you understand the whole audience's force? Don't you understand the damn number seven on the other side? If you don't understand, come down, I will switch to the youth team!!"

In the 9-person stadium, the players on the field didn't hear Charlotte's roar clearly, after all, the noise was too loud.But everyone can understand Charlotte's irritable actions on the sidelines, so he roughly guessed that he made a mistake.

Ter Stegen threw the ball to the French midfielder Schneiderlin who was not far away. Schneiderlin was a little nervous. After all, this was the first time in his life to compete with such a European super giant.When people are nervous, they are prone to make mistakes. After receiving the ball, the French defensive midfielder originally wanted to find the center Lambert, but kicked directly out of the sideline with a big kick
The fans at the scene immediately burst into laughter, not knowing whether they thought it was funny or were laughing.

Charlotte was a little speechless. She didn't expect that Schneiderlin, who is usually the most stable and mature, would be annoyed by such a low-level mistake. It seems that he didn't count the players' minds before the game.

The 22-year-old French midfielder has indeed not experienced such a big scene this year. His career has basically been spent in Ligue [-], Ligue [-], League [-] and the English Championship, and Ligue [-] has only three games as a substitute, so suddenly It is both exciting and a little nervous to meet an opponent like the Red Army Liverpool on a stage like the FA Cup semi-final.

For many low-level league players, the gold content of the FA Cup semi-finals is no less than that of the Champions League semi-finals and the European Cup semi-finals. After all, they may not be on that stage in their entire lives.

Schneiderlin was a little embarrassed. He immediately raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake to his teammates.

Charlotte silently came under the stands where Southampton fans gathered. He clapped vigorously at the fans, and then pointed to the field.

After being stunned for two seconds, the fans came to their senses and immediately clapped along.

"Oh! Charlotte came to the fans and signaled the fans to give the team more encouragement. Naturally, the fans would not be stingy to cheer for their team. It seems that Charlotte not only has excellent coaching performance, but also mobilized the field. He is also good at improving the atmosphere." Zhan Jun said with a smile.

And Sky Sports' Le Tissier's praise was a bit blatant: "From these small details, it can be seen that Charlotte is a very good head coach. He knows that his players are young people at a good age. At the same time, they are all players who have played in low-level leagues all the year round or have no chance in the original first team. When such young people face opponents like Liverpool at Wembley Stadium, they will inevitably be at a loss. The head coach has already made tactical arrangements, but it is estimated that their minds are blank right now."

"So we shouldn't ask Charlotte why he can achieve such good results, why his team is united, why the locker room is convinced by him, a 23-year-old head coach? We shouldn't ask him these questions, we should Let’s see more about how he does it, especially the small details like just now, after seeing these small details clearly, we will naturally understand.”

Le Tissier has successfully transformed from a "Charlotte black" to a fan of Charlotte.
Hearing the applause of the fans, the Southampton players relaxed a little nervously.

Liverpool had the ball again, but Southampton's defense was in place.Facing this kind of defense, Liverpool is also more experienced. When the positional battle cannot start the situation, Gerrard got the ball at the front of the penalty area and directly shot a long shot.

"Gerald!!!"

The best posture to break the dense defense is to shoot long shots and set the ball vigorously, so Liverpool is not in a hurry.

Jack Cork flew over to block the eye-catching, the football hit him and bounced to the top of the arc in the small penalty area.Henderson, who followed up, just swung his leg and wanted to take a long-range shot like Gerrard, but he saw that Dirk was raising his hand for the ball.There is no way that Henderson, who is only 21 years old now, is a rookie who has just joined the Red Army, not the man who received the Red Army captain's armband after Gerrard left for the United States in 2015.

So he obediently dropped the football into the penalty area and gave it to the team's big brother, Jimmy Dirk.

But all of this has been seen through by Southampton's defensive line, and even the opponent's passing line has been guessed by Wanyama.Kenya's beast waist took off early and made a header to clear the siege.

Jack Cork on the perimeter got the football and immediately took a big kick.

"Henderson is still young, he shouldn't be in a hurry to make this ball into the penalty area. There are so many people in the opponent's penalty area, he should play around more on the outside, and then see if he can bring the opponent out of the penalty area. Anyway, the game has just started, and Liverpool owns the ball, so we shouldn’t be in such a hurry.” Said Liu Yue, a commentator from Shanghai Five Star Sports and former Chinese international.

And his partner Lou Yichen said with a smile: "After all, it is the big brother Didier who is asking for the ball, and the new kid doesn't dare to ignore it. After all, the pier still has to say goodbye."

After hearing this, Liu Yue also laughed.
