Father Green

Chapter 224: Old Fox——Ferguson
Back from Scotland, Southampton immediately ushered in the second round of the Premier League.Due to the qualifying round of the Europa League, Southampton has played two more games than other Premier League teams during this period. It is basically a double match a week, and next month is the group stage of the Europa League. It's also going to be a double match a week.

The opponent in this round is Wigan Athletic, which is the only weak team the Saints have encountered in recent years.Even if it is the weakest team, Charlotte does not dare to underestimate it. As a newly promoted team, one must have the awareness of being promoted. He has established himself in the Premier League for several seasons, so he has no right to underestimate them.

Martinez's training for Wigan Athletic is obvious to all. Wigan has abandoned their traditional long pass and lob, and switched to ground pass and air cooperation.The Spanish coach has completely transformed this traditional English team. Martinez himself was an excellent player at Wigan Athletic when he was young, so now he is even more appreciated by the fans.

Facing such a Wigan Athletic team, Charlotte is naturally the main force.However, unlike the game against Manchester City, Icardi became the starting center forward in this game, and then Sturridge returned to the wing again.

Charlotte once said to his coaching staff that if his group of players matures, he will definitely break into the European arena after two seasons. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to get the top four Champions League seats of.It can be seen that Charlotte is full of confidence in her team.

But the members of the coaching staff didn't believe it.

They didn't come from time travel, and they don't know the future achievements of people like Sturridge, Sterling, and Ronaldo.

Southampton, who was at home in the first half, took advantage of a corner kick, and central defender Nkuru took the lead to open the scoring for the team.

After the start of the second half, Martinez's team was not to be outdone, and pressed heavily against Southampton to form a strong oppression.In the end, the score was equalized in 8 minutes of the whole game, and the two sides temporarily returned to the same starting line.

Faced with such a situation, Charlotte was not in a hurry, because he saw Martinez continue to make gestures to signal the team to continue pressing.Charlotte smiled slightly, if you choose a conservative and solid defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, you may be more difficult, but you choose to continue to press hard.
Charlotte signaled her team to continue playing like this and not to worry about a conceded goal.

Finally, at the No.70 minute of the game, Southampton took the lead again. This time, it was a beautiful individual performance by Sturridge. He regarded the opponent's defense as if there was no one in it. After passing three people in a row, he scored a goal. .

After Sturridge scored, Southampton did not stop there.Not long after Wigan Athletic kicked off, Wanyama made a steal in the frontcourt and directly intercepted the opponent's ball.After Lallana got the ball, he sent a beautiful through ball directly. The football stuck to the lawn and penetrated the opponent's defense line, and went behind the central defender.

Icardi's performance in this field is still good, the only shortcoming is that he has no goals or assists.But at this time, he saw an opportunity, and after successfully launching the anti-offside in an instant, he stepped into the opponent's penalty area in one trip.

After encountering the opponent's goalkeeper, the Argentine dunked the goalkeeper very calmly and then hit an empty goal.

Southampton scored two goals in a row within 5 minutes, rewriting the game to [-]-[-]. At this time, there was not much time left in the game, and the victory was almost sealed.

So Charlotte immediately changed three players and arranged for young players to play and exercise.The three youth players Luke Shaw, Chambers and Stephens started to play.

These three also had a lot of playing experience last season, so they are no longer rookies.And when the team leads by two goals and the time is only 15 minutes, the three teenagers are very relaxed and there is no pressure.It is also more handy to defend, at least the players facing the opponent dare to make moves and play according to their own ideas.

Although Wigan Athletic still created two chances in the end, Southampton finally saved the day with Ter Stegen guarding the gate.

It was another three to one, and Southampton ushered in their second victory of the new season.With two consecutive victories and six points, and four goal difference at the same time, Southampton jumped to third place in the standings.Ranked No.1 is the unexpected Swansea City team. Laudrup's team also scored six points with two consecutive victories, but their goal difference was crazy eight, and the first round was [-]-[-]. Queens Park Rangers had a [-]-[-] bloodbath against West Ham United in the second round. Such a result really surprised the whole of England, because it must be known that Laudrup has only just been appointed as the Swansea coach. Has not coached a Premier League team alone.

But Charlotte doesn't care about this, because no matter how good the start is, the final result depends on the performance at the end of the season.On the contrary, it is not a good thing to come out too early, which means that it is easy to lose the chain at the critical moment in the second half.

However, when Charlotte learned that Laudrup's team beat West Ham United [-]-[-] at the "Swan Lake" Liberty Stadium this round, she laughed and said that the Danes are interesting enough, and next time they come to St. Mary's Stadium Sometimes, you must treat the opponent to a drink after the game.

In second place is Di Matteo's Chelsea, who also scored six points, while having the same goal difference as Southampton at four.But this surprised Charlotte, because Di Matteo's performance this season was not very good in his memory. In the end, Abramovich fired the Italian bald head, and then invited the Spanish tactician Benitez to fight the fire of.
But looking at the current posture, Di Matteo doesn't look weak at all.

The league is over, and it will be the second round of the Europa League play-offs soon.Since Charlotte's team won the opponent [-]-[-] in the last away game, Charlotte once again arranged for a substitute player to play in this game.Pogba, Kane, Sterling, Florenzi and other players all started.

In the end, at St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton beat the opponent [-]-[-] and entered the main match of the Europa League with an absolute advantage of [-]-[-] on aggregate.

It is worth mentioning that the veteran Calvin Davis did not have a chance to perform in the whole game, and the defensive players in the midfield directly wiped out the opponent's counterattack.Originally, I wanted to do a big job to wash away the grievance of being scored by the opponent in the last game, but I didn't expect to be even more aggrieved today. The opponent managed to create three shots. As a result, Nima, they didn't even shoot. within the frame of the door.

Even in the home team locker room after the game, Davis looked at Stephens and Lovren resentfully, complaining that the other party should give them a chance or two to perform.

Stephens gave Big Brother a blank look, I gave you a chance to show off, then I won't have a chance next time the boss sees you.
As soon as Hearts was sent away on the front foot, Manchester United was ushered in on the back foot.

This is the third round of the league, Southampton faces Manchester United.

"This is the home stadium of Saints Southampton, St. Mary's Stadium. The 2012-2013 season will soon start, the third round of the English Premier League, and Southampton will play against Manchester United at home."

"We have just got the starting lineups for both sides. The Southampton goalkeeper at home is undoubtedly the German boy Ter Stegen. Southampton's main goalkeeper position. The double central defender is the Croatian central defender Lovren and the Cameroonian central defender Nkuru. The captain Jose Fonte heard that he suffered some minor injuries in the training before the game, so he missed the game. None of the big rosters made it.”

"The two full-backs are Danny Rose and Carvajal. This is a strong wing-back combination for the Saints. There is no suspense in the midfield. The French midfielder Schneiderlin with the strong waist Wanyama partner The attacking midfielder in front is Adam Lallana of the Saints youth training. Due to the absence of Wundt, Lallana took the captain's armband in this game. The two wingers are Sturridge and Rodriguez, Icardi is at the front. Although Southampton's attack line is not well-known, its firepower is not weak at all. I believe that the Red Devils' city rival Blue Moon Manchester City has the most say.

"Manchester United's performance in the first two rounds was mediocre, and the results of one win and one loss will certainly not satisfy the Red Devils. So Sir Alex Ferguson also said at the press conference before the game that the team's goal is three points, there is no doubt."

"As a guest at Manchester United, the goalkeeper is the Spaniard De Gea, who is also a very young and outstanding player. The left back is the French veteran Evra, the center back is the veteran Ferdinand and Evans, and the right back is Rafael. Midfielder On the one hand, Carrick partnered with Cleverley. The two sides were Giggs and Valencia. The two forwards were Ruud van Persie and Rooney. Just looking at the formation diagram before the game, Rooney's position It should be a little further back, a bit like an attacking midfielder or a second striker, with Van Persie at the front with a single arrow."

Before the start of the game, Charlotte also shook hands and hugged Sir Alex friendlyly.

"I learned from you some time ago. I changed a room into a reception room. How about staying for a drink after the game?" Charlotte said to the old man.

"No problem, I'm in a good mood after winning the game, even if it's not a good wine, I don't mind." Ferguson was very refreshing.

The corner of Charlotte's mouth twitched slightly. The old man's personality of engaging in some psychological tactics and verbal skills has not changed.

Shrugged: "Maybe you're going to be disappointed, but at our home court we'll tear each other up."

Ferguson's eyes lit up: "So... you mean you're going to attack?"

Charlotte was speechless, unexpectedly falling into the trap of this old fox.But he didn't care, now that the starting roster has been announced, it's useless to hide it.

"Think about it, how exciting it is to play against Manchester United! I think the fans at home will appreciate a beautiful game. Of course, the three points are naturally ours." Charlotte said.

"We'll wait and see!"

Looking at Charlotte's starting lineup, it doesn't seem conservative. Otherwise, his midfielder will not have tens of thousands of Yama and Schneiderlin here, and at least one defensive force will be added.
