Chapter 262: Raiders
"In fact, the thickness of Southampton's bench is not as strong as they have shown on all fronts." Li Yuankui made a tactical analysis: "As you can see, Charlotte often uses the rotation system to a large extent, especially in cup games where almost It's the all-youth team, of course, but actually his starting line-up is not very old."

"He is advancing in various championships by using the method of training through battles. The benefits of this are obvious. Young players get more exercise, so they grow up very quickly. We can see Harry Kane in the Saints lineup Young players like Lin, Pogba, Luke Shaw, Chambers and Stephens who are under 20 have grown up very fast."

"This group of teenagers even put some competitive pressure on the main players. Even the absolute main players like Icardi and Aubameyang dare to relax, because once they relax, these young people will take their place."

"Of course, there are many shortcomings. The most serious thing that Charlotte needs to pay attention to is that they are too young! Young people are more frizzy and inexperienced. So they may pay the price for being too young in the future, that is, What we call paying tuition.”

Zhan Jun immediately continued: "Yes, I don't know if Charlotte and his saints will be young or young in the end. But now they are shining brightly. Well, the players from both sides are ready to play. The broadcast screen also appeared in the formation of the starting lineups of both sides."

"For the home team, Liverpool, the starting goalkeeper is the Spanish veteran Reina. In front of him is the central defender with Daniel Agger and Skrtel. Jose Enrique at the left and Glenn at the right. ·Johnson. In the midfield, Downing is the midfielder on the left, Gerrard is on the right? There are three midfielders in the middle, Lucas lags behind, Coutinho and Henderson are in the midfielder position, and Uruguay is the lone striker Suarez."

"On the bench are No. [-] Brad Jones, Carragher, Joe Allen, Shelvey, Wisdom, Borini and ex-Southampton veteran Lambert"

"This lineup is interesting. Is it possible to defend and counterattack at home? Of course, considering the characteristics of the players, Coutinho can also be inserted into the midfielder or the nine and a half position to support Suarez, forming a four A four-one formation. At the same time, Coutinho and Downing can also overwhelm the frontiers of the two wings to form wingers, playing a four-two-three-one formation."

Li Yuankui said with a smile: "Rodgers knew that Charlotte was not easy to deal with, so he made a panacea starter. No matter what your opening tactic is, I can deal with your tactic by adjusting the eleven players on the field." , so there is no need for an immediate substitution.”

Zhan Jun also smiled: "Yes, both offensive and defensive counterattacks are available. This is a guessing map of the formation given by the broadcaster before the game. The specific situation can only be seen after the game starts. What are you paying attention to here?"

"It is worth mentioning that Charlotte has also made some adjustments in the starting lineup at Southampton. The starting center forward is not the Argentine Icardi, but Sturridge, who was most of the wingers before. Of course. , this English striker can play both sides and can play multiple roles, there is nothing to say. The one on the left is Aubameyang, and the one on the right is Sterling?!"

"The front midfielder is Southampton's vice-captain, Adam Lallana, who is known as the 'political commissar' in the team, due to the absence of captain Jose Fonte, Lallana brought this game The captain's armband. The midfielder is African black and tough animal waist Wanyama, and the French playmaker Schneiderlin. The central defender is Nkulu partner Lovren. On the left is Danny Rose and on the right is Kavaha Well, there is almost no suspense in this defense line, and the goalkeeper is the German kid Ter Stegen."

"Also on the bench are veteran goalkeeper Davies, Luke Shaw, Stephens, Florenzi, Rodriguez, Kevin De Bruyne and centre-forward Mauro Icardi."

"Charlotte used the young Sterling as the starter. To be honest, everyone did not expect it. This season Sterling has a lot of opportunities to play. He has started several games in the League Cup and the Europa League. , At the same time, he also came off the bench for several games in the league. But this is the first time to serve as a starter for such an important game. Before the game, there were no rumors that Rodriguez and De Bruyne were injured and could not play the whole game? "Zhan Jun was puzzled.

"Could it be that this is Charlotte's Raider?" Director Li also frowned.

"There is only such a reasonable explanation, but is the age of this surprise soldier too young? It will be full in a week. At the same time, in terms of personal ability, the current Rodriguez and De Bruyne It will be several times better than the opponent.”

"Well, I hope this young player can surprise us in this game, and don't be crushed by the pressure."

"To be honest, sell Lallana to us!" Rogers, the owner, took the initiative to greet him in front of the player tunnel.

Charlotte curled her lips: "There is no way! You already have Coutinho, Gerrard and Shelvey, why are you thinking about our Adam?"

Rogers immediately said again: "Should Shelvey trade with you?"

Charlotte smiled: "Suarez plus Coutinho!"

Rogers shook his head, returned to his seat without speaking.Obviously he knew that Charlotte was joking with himself, and he would only do this kind of tearful sale unless his brain was kicked by a donkey.

But I'm really not joking, I want to buy Lallana with sincerity.

As soon as he returned to the coaching bench of the home team, his assistant came over: "Have you figured out what he means by starting?"

Rogers was stunned for a moment, thinking about Lallana before, and forgot that the opponent's starting lineup in this game was a bit strange. He originally planned to test his mouth, but he completely forgot about it.
As witty as Rogers, naturally he would not say that he had forgotten. He said casually: "How can a guy as insidious as Charlotte slip his tongue? Let's wait and see after the game starts."

The assistant nodded: "That makes sense, even that old fox Ferguson can hardly hear anything from this little fox."

Rogers thought for a while: "Let the boys pay attention to defense at the beginning, they are very good at opening the attack, and their frontcourt players are very fast."

Liverpool's assistant coach nodded, and came to the sidelines to tell the players to tell captain Gerrard that they must choose the right to kick off after winning the coin guess, but it was too late, and Gerrard habitually chose to pick the side.

The assistant coach had no choice but to think that he was just being too careful, and it might not be dangerous to give the opponent the right to start the game.He stood on the sidelines and told the players to be conservative at the beginning of the game while waiting for the dead ball, and wait for the coaching staff to figure out the opponent's intentions before making changes.

The situation of the Red Army's coaching staff was naturally seen by Charlotte. He didn't need to think about it to understand what the other party meant.Turning his head to Wilkins, he said, "Dean, is this hard to guess?"

"It's a bit difficult!" Wilkins told the truth.

Charlotte curled her lips, thinking that her "movement" was hard to guess, as long as the intelligence work was done properly, she would naturally understand what she was playing, at least [-]% of it.
Sturridge kicked off the ball in the middle circle, handed it to Lallana and then rushed into the opponent's hinterland like a dark horse.

Lallana didn't play the ball immediately, but stepped on the ball and waited for the opponent's Coutinho to come up before turning his back to avoid the opponent's foot, and then passed the ball to Wanyama who came up.

Suarez immediately ran towards Wanyama who had the ball, and Liverpool quickly formed.

"According to the current positioning of Liverpool players on the field, it is not the four-five formation given by the broadcaster before the game, but a four-two-three formation like Southampton. It's Downing and Coutinho, with Captain Gerrard in the middle."

Wanyama, like Lallana, waited for the opponent to pounce at a certain distance before passing the football back to Schneiderlin.

The French midfielder was different. He swung his kick and directly slapped the football passed by Wanyama. The football flew high and flew across the half-court line in an instant.

"Schneiderlin. Long pass from the backcourt!"

Sterling's standing position, with his back against Jose Enrique, used his body to suppress the opponent or the opponent would detour in front of him.

In fact, Sterling's advantage in physical confrontation is not obvious. After all, he is too thin. Although he is fast, he does not have much muscle.It's just that he spread his hands to a certain extent to expand his body area.

The football came towards Sterling. Sterling leaned against Enrique, kicked the football to Lallana beside him, and then turned around quickly and walked behind Enrique.

Lallana kicked the ball back to Sterling before Henderson did.

Sterling made a trip, then started to chase after him, and directly threw Enrique, who was chasing back, behind him.

"So fast!!" Sterling sighed as he watched Sterling dribble past Zhan Jun with his short legs.

Sterling's front is very wide, but he did not choose to go to the bottom, but cut directly from the sideline.

Skrtel immediately came over to make up for the hole, and the teammate dug the hole, and jumped down with tears in his eyes.Facing the powerful central defender Sterling who came to replace him, he did not panic. He made a fake move towards the inside to force the opponent, but suddenly dunked towards the outside of the Slovakian central defender.

"Sterling!! He fooled the experienced Skrtel!"

Skrtel reacted quickly, knowing that he had been cheated, and immediately stretched out his left leg to expand his defensive area, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's jersey.

But for Sterling, a small space is enough. He swung his leg and passed the football directly under his feet!
