Chapter 229 : The wings are really flying!

The director of the live broadcast was also very imaginative. When Danny Rose passed the football, the scene was cut to the camera position in the air. Looking down from the air, you can see Southampton's midfielder Icardi on the top The front suppressed the opponent's central defender, while Rodriguez and Lallana fired like two arrows from Li Xuan.

Because Danny Rose was too fast before and did not stop and adjust before passing the ball, in order to pass a high-quality pass, he could only sacrifice his body balance, so he directly hit the ball after passing the ball. on the billboard.

But now no one is paying attention to him, and everyone is focusing on Manchester United's penalty area.De Gea yelled: "Watch out!!"

Ferguson on the sidelines was a little puzzled: "This scene... seems familiar."

Rodriguez, who is running, is on the far left, so he is closest to the football, and immediately takes off to fight for the first point, while Icardi also takes off on his right.

Manchester United's central defender had no choice but to follow the two of them.Obviously the opponent is a single center forward, but they often play some tactics of double center forwards, which makes the experienced Ferdinand a little uncomfortable.

Just when Manchester United was in full swing in the central penalty area, whether it was competing with Rodriguez for the first point or Icardi for the second point, and even Lallana's back point was heavily deployed, the football was from the central penalty area. All of them passed over their heads.

De Gea was shocked. He turned his head and saw that the opponent's No. [-] player on the right side of the goal was already standing in the rib position.

"Beautiful!! The three of Southampton pressed forward at the same time, which created a false impression of Manchester United's penalty area defense. I don't know if the Saints really cooperated so well, or Danny Rose's pass deceived his teammates. !"

"Sturridge!!"

The landing point of the football is not high. He just landed on the grass and Sturridge just ran to this position, and he shot the ball straight away.

De Gea's reaction was already quick, but it still couldn't stop the football. It was scooped up by Sturridge and finally flew into the upper left corner of the goal!

"Sturridge!!!"

"Southampton pulled back a goal! Well done! I don't know what adjustments Charlotte made during the intermission. Southampton pulled back a goal at the beginning of the second half. This is very important to the Saints fans at home. It is excellent news.”

Although the fans at the scene were very excited, they waved their scarves and team flags and shouted Sturridge's name.But Sturridge did not go to the bottom of the stands where the fans gathered to interact with them as usual. He didn't even celebrate the goal. He picked up the football behind De Gea and ran towards the center circle.

Charlotte was very happy. He waved his fist vigorously and shouted loudly to the players on the field: "That's it, go on, go on!!"

"Haha, it was a typical Southampton goal. Rodriguez and Danny Rose on the left got Manchester United's attention with a beautiful breakthrough ability, and then when Danny Rose crossed, the middle. The three of them immediately suppressed the Red Devils with firepower. But his cross went straight to the back. Sturridge, who had been hiding all this time, was like an assassin who suddenly came out of the darkness. It's a fatal blow when you come out!" Alan Hansen, who explained Southampton's FA Cup and the important British Championship last season, knows Southampton quite well.

And his partner Alan Shearer joked: "If Southampton and Liverpool meet, who do you support?"

Everyone knows that Alan Hansen was completely conquered by Charlotte's Southampton last season, so he has already stated that he is a Southampton fan.Anyway, at that time Southampton and Liverpool did not directly compete, that is, they encountered one in the FA Cup.So everyone understands that it is impossible for Southampton and Liverpool to form direct competition, after all, there is a huge difference between the two sides.However, as the Red Army did not start this season smoothly, Southampton is singing all the way. If this continues, maybe Liverpool and Southampton will form a direct competition. Either the league relegation opponents or the Europa League. opponent
Alan Hansen hits a haha: "I support red! Except Manchester United and Arsenal!"

Alan Shearer complained in his heart, Nima, Southampton and Liverpool are both red, so you still didn't say who you support.
In fact, everyone understands that being able to make Alan Hansen compare Southampton and Liverpool together in his heart, but he is unwilling to directly express his attitude, this in itself has already explained the problem.You must know that although he is not from Liverpool, he has played for the Red Army for [-] seasons. He was once the captain of the Red Army and one of the best central defenders in the history of the Red Army.So being able to make it difficult for him to choose between Liverpool and Southampton shows that he has already favored the Saints.

Ferguson shook his head helplessly: "I mean, it turned out to be another trick of smacking around."

Meulensteen held the tactical book: "This is a tactic that Southampton often uses. According to the information we collected, the Saints used this method to score a total of [-] goals in the league last season."

Ferguson said to the Dutchman: "Let our two sides pay more attention, the other side must be running to the side!"

While Mullensteen stepped forward to shout, Ferguson also looked back at his bench, Phil Jones, Vidic and Smalling. Well, none of the three defenders are good. defender.

In fact, the current reliable full-back in Manchester United's entire team is the veteran Evra. The substitute for this position is generally replaced by the central defender Evans who can play full-back. Jones went to the bench as a cameo, and the Brazilian Rafael was the main force.
In today's era with very high requirements for full-backs, the full-backs in the Red Devils' full-back camp are indeed not good enough. In many cases, the central defenders are part-time full-backs.And now Valencia and Ashley Young are still wingers and full-backs, and have not been transformed into full-backs.

A veteran coach like Ferguson can see his shortcomings at a glance.I didn't feel it at ordinary times. After all, Manchester United's midfielder can share some pressure, and Manchester United's offensive power can also cover up this shortcoming very well, but today I met Southampton, a stunned young man, who moved at a dizzying speed. All kinds of unreasonable attacks are aimed at both sides, so the shortcomings are magnified.

Fortunately, in the current Premier League, there are not many teams like Southampton that can fly the two wings. Tottenham and Arsenal are the only ones who can play full games, but Arsenal's full-backs and midfielders are also a problem. Especially the full-backs are not as aggressive as Southampton.

Just scored a goal, and Southampton's morale is like a rainbow.As soon as Manchester United kicked the ball out, Wanyama rushed up and made a steal, and Scholes was brought down by the opponent.Of course, the Kenyan beast waist tackled the ball head-on first, so this is not a foul, but Scholes is a little slower to play the ball.

The ball was in Cleverly's hands, but Lallana also rushed up with a sliding tackle.The young Cleverley was frightened, hurriedly handed the ball, and then jumped to avoid the opponent's tackle.

However, due to the rush of the ball, the strength was not well grasped. The pass that was supposed to be handed over to Valencia was stopped by Sturridge halfway.Then Sturridge directly took advantage of the situation and wiped out Valencia who wanted to step forward to counter-rob, and then entered the opponent's half in one pass.

"Southampton!! Here we go again!!!"

Sturridge was dribbling the ball, and the Spanish full-back Carvajal quickly inserted into the edge.

Evra raised his eyebrows on the defensive side. The situation a minute ago was too similar, except that it just happened on the right side of Rafael, but now it is on his left.

Looking at it from the corner of the eye, Carrick's position is a bit to the right, Cleverley and Scholes are in front of him and behind each other, only you?That's big trouble!
"Two against one on the wing!! Rooney can't come back, Carrick and Cleverley are far apart, can Evra defend against the impact of the two opponents?"

Manchester United's teammates obviously also saw that Evra was a little nervous. After all, Southampton's wing cooperation has also caused Manchester United to suffer a lot.So Evans immediately came to help Evra, after all, so far he is the closest Manchester United player to the French full-back.Carrick, who was in an awkward position, saw Evans passing by, and they immediately retreated to fill Evans' position. After all, compared with the left back, the position of the left center back is diagonally behind him.

At this time, Sturridge sent the ball to the front of Carvajal, and then bypassed the inside line from Evra's side.The French full-back gritted his teeth and tried his best to chase the ball, but compared to Carvajal, Evra, who is already old, has no advantage in speed.Carvajal, who got the ball first, passed it out immediately. He was worried that he would be entangled by Evra, and he didn't even give the opponent a chance to foul tactics.

"Beautiful two-to-one!! To be honest, watching Southampton's game is a pleasure. You will see that their 11 players have a tacit understanding on the court that is almost as good as one person!"

"Hey, is the ball passed too far? This is a rare coordination error by Southampton."

Carvajal's pass was not sent directly in front of Sturridge, but rather far away, even behind Evans who came to replace him.

Evans, who saved it, immediately turned around to chase the ball. It was a very dangerous situation, but it is much easier for him now. He only needs to catch up with the football and the bigfoot crisis is lifted.
