Chapter 296 : Surrender or die with honor?
In fact, even if Boas sees Charlotte's wishful thinking, he has nothing to do. He is not Mourinho. He can still maintain defensive counterattack tactics when he is at a disadvantage. At that time, he launched a desperate suicide counterattack.

And Charlotte and his Southampton are also different from ordinary teams. They are never afraid of their opponents playing against them. Similarly, they are not afraid of their opponents holding the ball and playing defensive counterattacks.Because they themselves are good players in ball control, the difference is that their ball control is achieved through non-stop passing and cutting with running positions, rather than back and forth in the traditional sense.

At the same time, high-quality high-position pressing is also their specialty, so once they play possession with the opponent, the opponent will definitely be able to maintain the score of [-]-[-] or even [-]-[-] or [-]-[-] until the end.

So the current Boas is like a strong man who was forced to go to Liangshan, and he can only go to the dark on the road of attack.

But can this open up the situation and reverse the decline?

Charlotte and his Southampton proved with facts that your uncle is still your uncle.Waiting for Tottenham to press forward without arrogance or impetuosity, the three midfield system formed by Pogba, Wanyama and Schneiderlin can be described as watertight. It is also a little famous, and Tottenham's attempt to penetrate the Saints' defense with a pass is tantamount to a dream.

Break through with the ball?This is Tottenham's forte. When they have the ball masters like Bale and Dembele, this seems to be the only way out for Tottenham.

But Wanyama and Pogba, the two black and tough, can be described as two shit-stirring sticks, and they can directly knock away Tottenham's dribbling players by using their physical advantages.

Several times his players were brought down by the opponent, and Boas went to the fourth official to complain. Although he also saw that the opponent tackled the ball first, this did not prevent the Portuguese from putting some pressure on the referee team.

The offense cannot be opened, and when the Tottenham players are a little anxious, it is the turn of the Southampton players to perform.

After stealing the ball in his own half, Schneiderlin sent a long pass directly to the frontcourt.Schneiderlin himself has a kick in passing the ball, and since Charlotte came to Southampton, he has specially strengthened the special "training" of long passes for the French midfielder, so now Schneiderlin has become a saint camp The starting point of the transition from defense to offense.

Sterling started right off the wing and then received the football.Facing Ektor, who was coming up, the England teenager took a big step, and then caught up with the ball.

The essence of martial arts in the world, but the essence of being fast and unbreakable was slipped by Southampton.

Belgian central defender Vertonghen can only be pulled out to make up for the Cameroonian full-back.But Sterling didn't mean to single out the Belgian central defender by cutting inside, but directly passed the ball from the wing.

This cross was not for center Icardi, but for the other side.

Aubameyang did not know when he quietly appeared on the right rib of Tottenham. He unloaded the ball with his chest. At this time, Kyle Walker also returned to the defense. When he just participated in the attack, he Pressed up to respond, but fortunately, the speed was fast enough, and now I rushed back in time.

The Gabon striker stopped the ball just in time to encounter Kyle Walker. He made a fake move towards the inside line, but suddenly dribbled the ball towards the sideline and went straight to the bottom.

Kyle Walker was flashed for a moment, and then immediately picked up speed to follow.

Aubameyang, who has quickly reached the sideline and is about to reach the bottom line, kicks up and prepares to cross. Icardi also moves forward at this time to suppress the opponent's left-behind central defender Michael Dawson. Naturally, Kyle Walker cannot let the opponent easily pass the ball Passed out, immediately took off and wanted to intercept it a little bit.

But Aubameyang didn't really pass the ball, but dunked the ball, and then dunked it from Walker.

The Tottenham players were shocked, because their central defense was already wide open at this moment.

Lloris stood still, ready to block Aubameyang's shot, and Michael Dawson also retreated a little and was ready to meet Lloris at any time.

Aubameyang, who took the ball, had already reached the ribs of the small penalty area, then glanced at the far end, and swung his legs.Loris' eyes gleamed, and he thought that this kid was still too tender, and he betrayed himself with just one look.

Lloris moved his position slightly towards the far end of the goal, and then saw the opponent swung his leg, and the French goalkeeper jumped out without thinking.

Icardi in the middle felt that Aubameyang wanted to come by himself, so he didn't continue to go forward. He stood a little in front of the penalty spot, not far from the penalty area line. This place is already very deep. He is always ready if If a teammate's shot is saved, he can make a follow-up shot.

But Icardi, who watched Aubameyang's shot, was a little puzzled, because after his teammate kicked the ball, he felt that the football deviated slightly from the pre-planned channel. The ball was a little far away from the goal, right?Even if you want to kick a curveball around Lloris, but... Where's your curve bro? ?

Icardi, who complained that his teammates were not good at shooting, suddenly had a thought, would this ball be a .
Staring at the football, he really came for himself, not for the goal.

pass the ball! ! !

Icardi knew it well, and immediately swung his legs, facing the ball from Aubameyang and shooting.The football hit Icardi's outside instep and bounced off towards the near end of the goal.

And Lloris rushed to the far end of the goal. Michael Dawson was a little ahead of Icardi, and he couldn't block the opponent's shooting angle at all, so after seeing that the opponent had finished hitting the goal, he wanted to pull the football over. Fish out on the goal line.

Apparently, he wasn't keeping up with the pace, the ball crossed the goal line before his outstretched foot arrived, and both man and ball rolled into Tottenham's goal.

One to zero!Southampton leads at home, with a total score of [-] to [-]. Southampton has already entered the semi-finals of the Europa League with one foot! !
Icardi, who scored a goal, and Aubameyang, who gave him a nanny assist, had a passionate embrace.

"I thought you were going to do it yourself! To be honest, your shooting sucks, compared to your passing!" Icardi yelled at Aubameyang.

Aubameyang grinned: "Are you a typical example of what the boss always says you can be good when you get cheap?!" Then he smiled: "Just treat me as a knocker, and let you get lucky and pick one up! "

"Hahaha"

Charlotte clapped her hands on the sidelines, and then pushed Pogbara to the sidelines: "Don't be careless, continue to maintain our rhythm, attract the opponent to come up, and we will continue to fight back!"

Pogba nodded and ran onto the field.

Everyone's memory of Southampton's style of play has always been the crazy offensive style that beat the master to death with a punch as soon as they debuted.He even dared to play crazy offense against the top four of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, and the key is to win.

So everyone thinks that Southampton is the most loyal supporter of offensive football, but in fact Charlotte treats both offensive football and defensive counterattack equally in her heart. As long as she can win the game, she can use whatever is easy to use.

Strictly speaking, Charlotte is a pragmatist and realist.From their style of play, it can be seen that even in offense they seldom have that kind of meaningless passing, and even if they dribble, they rarely have that kind of fancy "show" feet law action.

It's just that Southampton's counterattacks are not defensive at all in many cases, but very sharp.It is often a fatal blow, and at the same time, it is on par with the opponent on the scene.Even in the statistics after the game, the statistics of the Saints who used counterattacks are not much inferior to the statistics of the opponents' aggressive attack, so everyone often cannot see that Southampton is using a counterattack tactic.

So people think that Southampton insists on playing crazy offensive tactics, and beautiful wins are synonymous with the Saints.

But only a few professionals can see how good Southampton's defense is, so they dare to let the opponent press up and fight the opponent's counterattack.

After the game restarted, Southampton, who had already gained an absolute advantage, was even more relaxed.After the opponent takes the ball, continue to give the opponent space to attract the opponent to press up, but the trident in the frontcourt has been in the frontcourt and has not returned, ready to counterattack at any time.

The position of center Icardi is slightly behind, but Aubameyang and Sterling on both sides are more forward. Obviously, the Argentine center knew that his speed could not keep up with the two teammates, so he went to the middle to respond. He handed over the task of quick counterattack to his teammates.

Boas shook his head. Just now the opponent seized another chance to counterattack and almost scored again, so he already understood that he had no chance at all in this game.

Now there is only one question for the Portuguese to think about, whether to press vigorously and fight the opponent's bayonet, or to stabilize the situation and try to lose a few goals to keep the scene and the total score good?
Immediately, I thought, damn it, the total score is already three to one, so where else can I see it?

So with a wave of his hand, continue to maintain a high-pressure attack on Southampton.There are nearly 60 minutes left in the game. What if I get lucky and score a goal?
It's just that Charlotte and Southampton told Boas with practical actions that he was thinking too much. At the end of the first half, Southampton took the ball to instigate an offensive.Sterling's shot was rejected by Lloris, and Icardi's follow-up shot was ruthlessly rejected by the post.

In Tottenham's penalty area, there was a flutter of chickens and dogs, and they fell into a panic and melee.

Adebayor, who returned to defense, took the ball and wanted to make a big-foot clearance, but Pogba rushed up and broke the football from his feet and hit the goal directly.

The football was in a hurry and it didn't know who it hit. It had a refraction and flew into Tottenham's goal. Lloris, who had just got up in front of the goal, looked very helpless. He saw Pogba's goal line and was already standing. Good position, who knows. The ball hit the teammate and changed direction.
