Father Green

Chapter 215 : If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old too. When I met Hartmon, I kicked it!
Two days before the start of the game, Charlotte called all the players to the conference room for a meeting after announcing the roster.

"I don't care what others think or think, and I don't care what a newly promoted horse should look like in other people's eyes. In my eyes, our Southampton has never been a bullshit newly promoted horse, because you are fully worthy of your strength. To play in the Premier League, you are all Premier League players, so isn't it natural?"

"Two days later, against Manchester City, I still say the same old saying, don't be cowardly."

"Just do it!!" Before Charlotte could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the players in unison.

This is what their boss often said when they faced strong opponents and strong teams. For example, when facing the rogue Millwall and West Ham United last season, the boss yelled out this seemingly simple, uncivilized but revealing sentence. With philosophical words, this slogan was also shouted in the FA Cup against Liverpool and Chelsea.

philosophy?Shit philosophy, what I want is simplicity and rudeness!Charlotte complained to herself in her heart.

"So after watching the field we're going to catch each other off guard, trust me guys. They must not have woken up from last season's Premier League title celebrations against a team like us. Honestly, I've always thought we were strong , but the outside world often says that we are weak. Therefore, Manchester City will inevitably underestimate us, and follow our plan after the opening-attack!"

"We at Southampton are here to be a good guy and wake them up and tell them the league has started. At the same time... we Saints are not easy to bully, never have been!"

"There are only two specific tactics. First of all, the first one - fast! It is best to score as fast as the opponent can't react. Don't stop after scoring. Continue to do this until the "paper tiger" wakes up. Can't Scoring can also catch the opponent by surprise and disrupt their tactical deployment."

"The second rule - do it right! How do you do it right? That is, once the other party wants to slow down and stabilize or slow down our pace, don't let the other party do what they want. Use our actions to tell them that unless we are willing, no one can. Let us slow down. Then, if the opponent takes the initiative and wants to get up faster, we will slow down so that they cannot counterattack. In a word, if the enemy is fast, we will be slow, and if the enemy is slow, we will be fast. But if the enemy advances What to do?" Charlotte asked the players.

Lallana thought for a while: "I quit?"

Charlotte shook her head: "No, press up!! Grab them, force them to death, and then take advantage of the chaos to launch a counterattack. Especially in areas where there is no danger, we can do it if the opponent has the ball."

"Foul?" Wanyama's eyes lit up.

The temperament of Kenya's midfielder is very similar to his physique, and it can be seen at a glance that he is a rough person.But he is not a villain in the football world, he just fouls more.

"No, that's called a tactical foul!" Charlotte corrected with her arms around her chest.

"Hahahaha." Everyone understands the meaning of this word.

"So for this set of tactics, I played Daniel, James and Pierre (Aubameyang) in one go in the frontcourt. Adam, although your speed is not too slow in the Premier League, but with them Compared with the three, your advantage is not in speed. So you need to support your teammates more in the middle and cooperate with them."

Lallana nodded. He naturally understood what Charlotte meant. After Charlotte transformed him into a central player, he often did this kind of work.Although after a season, the number of goals is not as many as before, but the assists have increased a lot, and they are also an indispensable part of the team.

"We mainly target the two sides. There is nothing to say on the right side of the opponent. It must be Zabaleta. The Argentine is a very good defender. He can attack and defend quite comprehensively. One of the best players in the Manchester City team. But he's not very fast, so that gives us the opportunity to play mainly on the right side where the Argentine is, to sprint back and forth with speed, to attack the opponent. On the left, maybe Cora Rove may be Chrissy. Well, Kolarov is strong in attack and weak in defense and speed is not good at him, so he is the same target as Zabaleta. But if you lose the ball, you must counterattack on the spot , can’t let Kolarov hit the counterattack. At the same time, he has a very good free kick, so he can’t easily let the opponent get the set kick in the key area.”

"Clichy's speed is indeed fast, but his shortcoming is that he is not decisive. So we must be faster than him, so that they have no room to think, and at the same time, when he has the ball, press tighter and don't give him Chance to hit the ball"

This two-hour team tactical meeting directly created the start of the game. Charlotte planned to attack Manchester City, and then use speed to break the balance of strength between the two sides.And knowing that the opponent's defense is excellent in the middle, so Charlotte mainly plays on the side. Silva will also participate in defense sometimes, but what about Nasri?
Time to return to the field.

Facing the attacking Joe Hart, Sturridge instinctively wanted to dunk the opponent and win a single goal facing the empty goal.But at this time, he suddenly remembered what Charlotte told him: "If there is love, the sky will grow old, see Hartmont's kick!".

So Sturridge hit the goal directly.

Joe Hart reacted quickly and swooped out immediately!

"Sturridge!!" The live commentator shouted in horror.

And some fans just entered the stadium and were still looking for seats, so they saw this scene from the big screen in the stadium.

It's a long story, but on the pitch it's lightning.

Fuck, just after kick-off, the opponent scored into our penalty area?This is the first thought of Manchester City fans.

Fuck, it's dangerous, this is their second thought.

The current Joe Hart is naturally not the Hart a few years later, and naturally he has not been criticized.Many strikers can't help being nervous, lacking in confidence and indecisive when facing such a top goalkeeper.Charlotte just said this on purpose to give them more confidence in shooting.

I am not afraid that you will fly, but I am afraid that you will not dare to shoot.

That's why there was this scene on the field.

Joe Hart threw himself at the football, stretching his 1.9-meter-fourteen height in the air to expand his defensive area as much as possible.

The football met Joe Hart's hand in the air, but just missed.The ball flew past Joe Hart's fingers towards the goal behind him, and ended up darting straight into the top right corner of the goal.

"Goal scored??" Alan Hansen's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Goal!! From Sturridge!!! Man, Southampton scored just after the start of the game, it's totally unexpected."

"7.5 seconds!!! Just 7.5 seconds into the game, Saints Southampton scored the first goal!! The referee Webber signaled that the goal is valid, and then a new record was born. This is the fastest goal in the history of the Premier League. Turridge. Sturridge!! He broke the record for the fastest time in the Premier League set by Tottenham star Ledley King in the 2000-20010 season. On December 2000, 9.9, Tottenham played Brad In the Telford game, Tottenham star and England central defender Ledley King broke through the opponent's goal in [-] seconds, and also set the record for the fastest goal in the Premier League!" Zhan Jun's Premier League encyclopedia is bright again For domestic fans, all kinds of data and information come at will.

"But everyone, we are very honored today. Witnessed a new record, 7.5 seconds!! It is more than two seconds faster than Ledley King. The record that has been dusty for 12 years has been broken, and I believe today's record It will be firmly in your mind for a long time in the future, because football has developed to this day, and such goals are becoming more and more difficult and incredible!!"

Zhan Jun smiled suddenly: "It's interesting that the record for the second fastest goal in the Premier League was created by Alan Shearer in the 2002-2003 season, mainly because the opponent at that time was also Manchester City, and at that time Shearer represented Newcastle United. So now, two of the top three scoring goals in the Premier League were created by Southampton players, and the background...is all Manchester City. Is this a divine will?"

"Haha, Shearer. Your record can only be ranked third now. How do you feel about this?" Alan Hansen teased.

And Alan Shearer is also very smart: "I hope to see more goals like this in the next games. It is best to squeeze my record out of the top ten. Because this means that our league is getting better and better." It is getting more and more exciting, and our league can generate great attraction for world superstars and fans."

"To be honest, I don't think you should come to be a commentator, you should go to the FA." Alan Hansen said with a smile.

"That's the goal?" Sturridge was stunned. Even though it was his own shot, he still couldn't believe that he scored a goal. It scored Manchester City's goal and the goal guarded by Hart, the national team's goalkeeper.
It wasn't until Adam Lallana jumped on him that he realized that he had indeed scored.

Excited, Sturridge ran all the way with Adam Lallana on his back, waving his fists non-stop, his excitement was beyond words.

"That's a goal?" A Manchester City fan in the stands couldn't believe it. He just came in with a glass of beer in one hand and a ticket in the other. He was obviously still looking for a seat.

In stark contrast to the silent home team fans, there were not many Saints fans who came to the away game to cheer for the team. They waved their Southampton scarves vigorously and roared vigorously.

It was their first Premier League game in seven years and their first Premier League goal in seven years.Could there be a better start than defending champions Manchester City in seven seconds?

The roars of the Saints fans couldn't hear what they were shouting loudly. Maybe there was no reasonable word at all. They just wanted to vent their grievances, anger, unwillingness and other negative emotions in the past seven years.

Seven years ago, the team was relegated from the Premier League, and the Saints were heartbroken.In the four seasons of the British Championship, he wanted to rush back to the Premier League every season, but failed in the end.The most frightening thing is that the team was heavily in debt due to financial problems two years ago, and was eventually placed in trust and then dropped to the third-tier League One with penalties.

At that time, all Saints fans felt that the sky was falling, as if the world would never die again.

Whenever the team faces relegation problems, their "LeGod" will always stand up and save the team with goals.But Le Tissier, who has retired, has not forgotten his identity as a Southampton native. The hero in the eyes of the fans is running around hoping to raise money to help the team solve the financial problem and prevent the team from falling into the hands of outsiders.
