Chapter 19: The damn 16-man roster
"Welcome everyone to Southampton's St. Mary's Stadium, and now Sky Sports will bring you the 2011-2012 season opener of the English Champions League, played by newly promoted Southampton against Rams Derby County. For this season, Derby County has not changed much. After some veterans retired, the head coach supplemented some young players with impact. The biggest change is Southampton, although they resumed in League One in one season. Returning to the ranks of the Champions League, but the departure of the meritorious coach Adkins makes the prospects of the Saints not optimistic."

"The appointment of a 23-year-old young man by the club's board of directors as the club's head coach casts a shadow over the future of the 'Saints'. This very...young head coach gave the ball this season. The team has undergone a big change, nearly half of the generals in the hands of the former head coach Adkins were sold by him for cash, and in exchange for some [-] or [-]-year-old young players who are younger than him."

St. Mary's Stadium cheers, home fans create a fanatical atmosphere that can infect a real British gentleman into a 'football hooligan'.This summer is not a major year, there is no European Cup and World Cup, not even the Confederations Cup.Therefore, the fans who have been patient for more than two months without football to watch have long been unable to bear it. The Shenma Lima Stadium, which can accommodate more than 3 people, has a total of 3 people today. If it is not for safety considerations The factor club has left [-] seats unsold, and the attendance rate may reach [-]% today!
A Championship game can attract 3 people to the stadium to watch the football, which shows the influence of Southampton in the surrounding area. This newly promoted team has the background of the Premier League.

Although the fans were dissatisfied with the club's playful approach of appointing a young man who had just graduated from university as the head coach, they still supported the team's first league game of the season and it was a home game.

When the team's performance did not collapse, most fans were relatively mild towards the team.

Charlotte attaches great importance to this game. In the formation, he sent the players who are currently in the best condition and can fully implement his tactical concept.

The goalkeeper is Calvin Davis, a 35-year-old experienced goalkeeper. The current strength of this experienced goalkeeper is still good. De Lan played in the Premier League for two years.Although Charlotte values ​​German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, considering that the opponent has just joined the team, factors that are not very familiar with the English team or even his teammates can only sit on the bench temporarily.

The left back is Danny Rose, who is on loan from Tottenham, and the right back is Fraser Richardson, Southampton's main right back last season.In terms of central defenders, according to Charlotte's idea, the combination of one old and one young is divided into two groups. Jose Fonte is partnered with Dutch central defender Geoffrey Bruma, while veteran Gary Monk is partnered with German kid Musta. Fei.But considering the importance of this game, Charlotte directly paired Jose Fonte and Gary Monk, which is currently the strongest defensive line in Southampton.

Charlotte hesitated for a long time in midfield, and finally let captain Dean Hammond partner with French midfielder Schneiderlin.The options for this position include the talented midfielder Pogba who came on loan, and Jack Cork, who was transformed into an attacking midfielder by Charlotte, but after thinking about it for a long time, Charlotte still thinks that the mature and stable Dean Harmon It is better to be paired with the creative Schneiderlin.

The left winger is Daniel Sturridge, who was dug out from Chelsea by Charlotte. The 21-year-old Sturridge must have a lot of games to hone him, although he did not perform well when he played for Chelsea. Very good, but considering the competitiveness of Chelsea's striker and their tactical style of play is not very suitable for Sturridge, so Sturridge at that time is not a reference, but he was loaned to Bolton for half a season last season He scored eight goals in [-] games, which shows that Sturridge has adapted to the position of the first team.

The right winger is the winger Al Ganassi introduced from Belgium. The Belgian guy is fast, explosive, and has excellent dribbling and dribbling skills. He is a very cost-effective winger. .

The front midfielder is Charlotte's most trusted person in the midfield. Adam Lallana, who was trained by Southampton's local youth training camp, is currently in the best state for Charlotte and can perform well in the game. Players with their own tactical arrangements.

In the middle of the striker is the experienced Ricky Lambert. This is a standing center arranged by Charlotte, mainly for Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Al Garcia behind him. Naxi was the one who made the wall, and was also in charge of 'checking for leaks and filling in gaps'.

Pogba, Bruma, Harry Kane, Sterling and ter Stegen are on the bench.

The thing that hurts Charlotte the most is the bench. According to the regulations of the FA, starting from this season, the number of benches in England's low-level leagues such as the British Championship and League One will be restored to five, instead of last season and the Premier League and The seven in other mainstream competitions, that is to say, the seven substitute system in England's low-level leagues died after only one season.

What's even more painful is that the reason of the FA is that under the "attack" of the "big virus" of injuries, most small clubs can't make up the 18-man squad, so they reduced it to a 16-man squad.
"Oh hell, the 16-man list, the FA's bastards don't know that most of the Championship teams are relegated from the Premier League, teams with the foundation of the Premier League? If such a team has 18 in a row If you can’t make up the roster of the National People’s Congress, what is it called the Champions League? Go directly to the League One, League Two, or even the National League!” Charlotte scolded her as soon as she heard the news.

And even if individual teams sometimes don't have enough 18-man quota, it's okay to occasionally arrange 18 people in the [-]-man limit. Why do all teams have to become five substitute places?
The FA are so fucked up sometimes, their world, I don't understand.
However, this has brought the relationship between Charlotte and the players and colleagues of the coaching staff a step closer, because scolding the FA is a very resonant thing in English football, just like the relationship between European clubs and UEFA. .

"The game has officially started. Today we can see that there are many new faces in Southampton's starting 11. They all joined Southampton this season, but what makes me a little unbelievable is that Gary Monk, the The captain of Wansea was persuaded to join the team by the young head coach of Southampton. You must know that last season, Swansea won No.3 in the English Championship and successfully defeated Reading in the promotion playoffs. Promoted to the Premier League. But Gary Monk is willing to give up the Premier League and come to the newly promoted Southampton of the British Championship. The last bus in the class, he may miss the Premier League for the rest of his life."

Charlotte stood on the sidelines and stared at the field. He didn't know that the commentator was analyzing how he fooled Swansea's captain Gary Monk from Swan Lake to the swampy Southampton.

If Charlotte is dissatisfied with the new Southampton team, then there is only the position of right back. Richardson is not Charlotte's first choice, but there is no way that Southampton can't attract him. Other good players have joined. Few of England's local full-backs meet Charlotte's requirements, and the ones that meet Charlotte's requirements are too expensive. Not to mention Southampton can't afford it, they will never consider the British Championship team. As for the South American players, Charlotte has several choices, but considering the damn England labor certificate, Charlotte can only be greedy.
