Chapter 214 : Premier League, here we come!
"Manchester City is playing a four-four-two formation. The goalkeeper is England goalkeeper Joe Hart, the left back is Clichy, the right is Zabaleta, and the two central defenders are captain Kompany and Les Scott. As for the defensive midfielder, Yaya Toure partnered with the newly joined teenager Rodwell, the two wingers are the Spanish playmaker David Silva, and the French attacking midfielder Nasri. The double center is an Argentine combination. Beast Tevez and Ozora Tsubasa Aguero."

"The last round of last season was Aguero's goal at the last moment, which helped Manchester City overwhelm the rival Manchester United in the same city, and won the league championship with a goal difference than Manchester United, so the threat of Tsubasa Okura on the front line is not necessary. More to say, now I don't know how Charlotte can limit the attack of the opponent's two world-class strikers."

"Manchester City also have Pantilimon, Dzeko, Milner, Kolo Toure, Kolarov, Balotelli and veteran Barry on the bench!"

"For the visiting team Southampton, the goalkeeper is the German kid Ter Stegen, who is known as Mr. 1000 million pounds in the British Championship. The left back is Danny Rose, and the right back is Carvajal, a product of Real Madrid's youth training. The Spanish full-back, who was unable to play in the Galaxy Battleship, quickly became the absolute main force after coming to the Saints. The two central defenders are Portuguese Jose Fonte partnering with former Marseille central defender Nkuru. Two defensive midfielders They are the all-round midfielder Wanyama and the lagging playmaker Schneiderlin. The two wingers are Rodriguez and Aubameyang, and the attacking midfielder is Adam Lallana, a product of the Saints youth training, who is the vice-captain. The forward center forward is the Argentine Sturridge."

"On the bench are veteran No. [-] goalkeeper Calvin Davies, central defender Lovren, Pogba, Luke Shaw, Florenzi, Icardi, De Bruyne"

"This is a standard four-two-three formation. It seems that facing the powerful Manchester City and playing away at the same time, Charlotte does not have the meaning of defending. This is commendable, but he must think more about how to defend Considering Manchester City's strong attack line, in fact, it may be the most appropriate to use three midfielders to play a defensive counterattack. After all, there are many fast players on the Saints front line. Of course, this is just my thought, maybe Charlotte There is a more appropriate opinion, after all, it is impossible for him not to know something that even I know."

To be honest with Southampton, Robert Mancini really didn't care much.Not to mention the young and outrageous head coach, just being a Premier League newly promoted makes him lose his spirits.The opponent has only played in the Premier League for the first time in the past seven years, and was even relegated to the League One before. It is not Manchester City who can play against such an opponent, it should be Tottenham or Everton
Moreover, few of the opponent's players had experience in the Premier League. Among them, Sturridge played half a season in Bolton in the Premier League, and his performance was not bad, and he still had some influence on him.But I heard that there is an Italian teenager in the opponent team, and he is a kid who came out of Rome, um... Let's see if this kid has a chance to play.

Mancini once coached Lazio, another strong team in Rome, but it has been almost ten years. At that time, Florenzi was a child of about ten years old, and he was in Rome again. Naturally, it is impossible to know the current Florenzi.If Charlotte did not bring him to England, according to the trajectory, Florenzi is still playing in Serie B this season, which shows that he does not belong to the kind of genius who has been gifted since he was a child, but a hardworking type in the later stage. So Mancini has never heard of the other party's name.

However, he heard that a famous roma player was in the opponent's lineup, which still aroused his interest.

"Guys, the opponent who will compete with us later is the defending champion of the Premier League! Are you excited?" In the dressing room of the visiting team, Charlotte shouted to his players with a bright smile on his face.

"excited!!"

"Fucking can't wait!!" Wanyama clenched his fists, not as if he was kicking a ball, but as if he was going to fight.

Charlotte is very satisfied with the players' reaction: "Very well, you are not scared by the opponent's background! I know that this is the first time for you to play in the Super League, well, except for Daniel, it is also the first time for me to lead the team to play. Such a top league. But guys, there are a lot of people saying that we have a hard time relegating this season, a lot of people saying that we have a devil's schedule at the beginning of the game, and we will struggle."

"However, I really want to tell them 'Fa Keyou!! (Same as Chinese pronunciation in English) Go to NMD, this is our first Premier League game in the first season, we will naturally go all out!'"

The players all laughed, the probability of their boss swearing in the locker room is very high.But they like such a head coach on the contrary, they feel very cordial and real.

"How long have we waited for this day? Seven years ago, Southampton were relegated from the Premier League, so the club waited seven years. But what about us players? We were born to be good professionals, we were born to be Will be playing in the greatest league so we've waited longer than the Saints for this day!!"

"Guys, remember my previous tactical deployment, and play according to our plan. Then." Charlotte waved a big hand: "Go and tell those dogs and motherfuckers who look down on us that we are coming, St. The disciples are coming!!!"

"we are coming!!!"

"Fuck them!!!"

"Hey guys, make them remember who we are!"

Players filed out to prepare for their first league game of the new season and, for many, the first Premier League game of their lives.

Looking at the opponent who came out cursing all the way, the Manchester City players were a little surprised: Damn, are the newly promoted horses so arrogant now?
"Okay, the players from both sides have come out. The first one we saw was Southampton coach Charlotte, a very young and excellent coach. Behind him is his coaching team and substitute players. "

"Mancini can be regarded as a young coach in the coaching industry, but it depends on who he compares with. Compared with Charlotte, he is a handsome man, not only in terms of age, but also in terms of experience." Zhan Jun said. joking.

And Alan Hansen of the BBC said to Alan Shearer: "Shearer, although you became famous in Blackburn and Newcastle, there is no doubt that you are the youth training of the Saints, so for the former home team, What do you think?"

Shearer smiled: "To be honest, I am very unfamiliar with the current Southampton team. You must know that when I played for the Saints, it dates back to the last century. But now this Southampton team is for me. The first feeling is young! Yes, their players are very young, the average age is not even over 25 years old, and their manager is unbelievably young."

"They are indeed very young, but at the same time they have great potential. So how do you rate their goals for the new season?"

"I think the outside world's estimates are still unfair. Although they are young, they are full of firepower and energy. From them, I even saw the shadow of my youth, and I feel excited. At the same time, the Young Guards are not in the history of football. What's new. In China, there are Leeds United and Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United in China. There are Magat's Stuttgart, Parma and Ajax abroad. These examples tell us that if you underestimate young people If so, then they will definitely surprise you. So I think the prospect of Saints relegation this season is still very good. They won the double crown last season. They have a place to stand" For the former parent team, Alan Shearer naturally has feelings.From the time he joined the Saints youth academy until he went to Blackburn, he spent a total of six years on the south coast.

It can be said that Southampton was his enlightenment team in football, and it was here that a solid foundation was laid that led to the later Alan Shearer.

"In fact, I also think that their chances of relegation success this season are still very high. I watched a lot of their games last season, including the FA Cup and the league. Especially in the British Championship, they almost dominate Powerful. In fact, as a player in English football, I understand that the competitiveness of the British Championship is not necessarily worse than that of the Premier League in many cases. It's getting more and more intense. So the Saints' outstanding performance last season can show that they can make achievements in the Premier League, and it's not as bad as many media and betting companies have analyzed."

"Well, we see captains Kompany and Jose Fonte picking sides. Manchester City choose their own half, so Southampton have the right to kick off first"

"The match between the two sides has officially started. Charlotte is still using the four-two-three-one tactic of last season. It doesn't seem to be restrained because the opponent is a strong defending champion." Alan Hansen admires Charlotte.

After Southampton kicked off, they did not pass the ball towards their own backcourt as usual. After receiving the return pass, Schneiderlin directly made a long pass to the Colombian Rodriguez on the wing.

Rodriguez chested the ball in, but his back was turned to the attack and Zabaleta was stuck right behind him.Rodriguez knew that the opponent was experienced, so he didn't dare to single out the opponent easily. Instead, he gave the ball to Lallana who was pulling over, and then turned around and ran away.

"Two over one!!"

Lallana immediately passed back to Rodriguez's front, and the Colombian quickly caught up with the football, while Zabaleta behind him obviously couldn't keep up with the opponent in terms of speed.

Lescott came to make up for it, but Rodriguez didn't mean to play tricks with the opponent one-on-one. A long pass directly found the gap between Lescott and Kompany.

Sturridge lived up to Rodriguez's high hopes, easily got rid of Rodwell with his speed, and got the ball in this open place.

"Watch out!!!" Joe Hart yelled at the defense in front of him.

Kompany's hairless forehead was covered with sweat, but instead of shoveling himself, he chose to press up.

Sturridge didn't give the opponent a chance, he took a big step and picked up the speed instantly.After keeping a safe distance from Kompany, he got the football on the penalty area line.

At this time, Joe Hart quickly abandoned the goal and attacked. In fact, Joe Hart had already attacked when Sturridge was waving the ball.
