Chapter 32: Southampton is a pit, a fire pit!
Goals are no longer exclusive to strikers, and defense is not the responsibility of defensive players.For example, Chelsea's Lampard, as a midfielder, his number of goals made most shooters feel ashamed. Of course, this is also related to Chelsea's tactical deployment at the time.

Another example is the full-backs. The current full-backs are no longer just defensive players. In addition to defending the barriers on the side, they also take on the responsibility of supporting, breaking through, crossing and even shooting. A defender, rather a wingback.

Therefore, Charlotte also asked her team to start defense from the forwards. The center forward is the team's first line of defense from offense to defense. The formation of a tactical attack.

From this point of view, Danny Rose and Sturridge on the left side of the team are doing a good job. Of course, it cannot be said that Sturridge is so diligent in defending, but that he often plays with Adam Laura in the center. Lana changed positions, and Adam Lallana's sense of responsibility is very strong. After 10 minutes in the team, Adam Lallana's running distance is enough to rank in the top three of the team.

The road between Al Ganassi and Richardson is obviously a bit embarrassing. Al Ganassi can hardly see his defense, and Richardson obviously dare not go forward and press the assist, so they Although the two have a clear division of labor, they can't play that smooth offensive cooperation, not to mention the layered sense of defense.

And these naturally have to be corrected slowly through the team's training. After all, Charlotte and his team have just begun to take the first step on the way of the Long March.

"Charlotte, I think there may be some problems with the League Cup roster tomorrow afternoon, this lineup." The first assistant coach Dean Wilkins came over and found Charlotte standing on the sidelines of the training ground.

And Tony Cotton, a member of the coaching staff who came over, looked at the list and frowned. Tony Cotton only joined the Southampton coaching staff two days ago. A goalkeeper, has played for Birmingham, Hereford, Manchester City, Manchester United and Sunderland.

After retiring from Sunderland, he was invited by Ferguson to be the second goalkeeper coach of the team, that is, the youth team and reserve team goalkeeper coach. In 08, he switched to Queens Park Rangers as a member of the coaching staff. Last season, Queens Park Rangers performed very well. Excellently won the championship of the English Championship and went to the Premier League this season.

I don't know how Les Reid persuaded the member of the Premier League coaching staff to "condescend" to come to Southampton, a newly promoted English Championship, as the second assistant coach.

The "newcomer" who just joined the team frowned at the list, and obviously even he could see that the list was a bit unreliable.

Tony Cotton felt that he had fallen into a fire pit. He never imagined that his friend Les Reed had dug such a big hole for himself.

The head coach of the team, his immediate boss is actually a 23-year-old kid. If only he had known this earlier and not because of the good relationship between Les Reed and himself and the weekly salary of [-] pounds In terms of contract, I am sure that I will not come to this South Coast team from Queens Park Rangers.

And when Tony Cotton took a look at the squad list for tomorrow's game in Wilkins' hands, he regretted coming to Southampton even more.

This damn, Southampton is not a pit, this kid in his early twenties is the pit. Tony Cotton wants to cry but has no tears.

"Is the roster for tomorrow's game too young?" Assistant coach Wilkins' face was full of worry.

Charlotte turned her head and smiled confidently: "Don't worry about Dean, these guys are the future of the team. For the future of the team to be better, they must go through some tests. Some things cannot be given by training, so They have to fight. In the league for the sake of performance, their number of appearances is limited, but tomorrow's League Cup and their opponents are a good training opportunity."

Dean Wilkins was powerless to complain. Although training young players has always been Southampton's tradition, as a "successor of the revolution", it is natural to carry forward this glorious tradition of "proletariat".

But it also depends on the situation. In the second game you took office, you went directly to the bench. No, you went directly to the youth team. What if you lose the game?You must know that the League Cup is a single-round knockout match. Losing a game is equivalent to losing a season of this championship.

Dean Wilkins and Tony Cotton were both worried, but Charlotte wasn't bothered.Because Charlotte didn't take this event seriously at all, the FA Cup can be considered as appropriate, the League Cup?Let the young players play freely with that stuff. It's gratifying to win, because these little bastards can play one more official game, and it doesn't matter if they lose, but it avoids the embarrassing situation of the team's multi-line battle.

Therefore, Charlotte did not regard the League Cup championship as a piece of "dry food" at all.

When Aldershot Town's manager Dean Holderswatch got the opponent's starting list, he was furious: "It's too much bullying, it's really bullying too much!! They think they are wearing red. Arsenal's jersey? Or Manchester United or Liverpool? How dare you come out and play against us with such a starting lineup!"

Assistant coach Bishop looked at the piece of paper in Holder Swatch's hand. The striker was Harry Kane, a young player who had just completed, and the two sides were 17-year-old Raheem Sterling and 16-year-old Raheem Sterling. Jack Sinclair, the midfielder is 21-year-old Jack Cork, the two midfielders are 17-year-old Pogba and 16-year-old Ward-Prowse, the left back is 16-year-old Luke Shaw, Fortunately, on the right is the outstanding Scot Dennis Fox, but he is an authentic left back, and this game actually appeared on the right
The central defender partners are the 19-year-old German central defender Mustafi and the 20-year-old Dutch central defender Bruma, and the opponent is even more aggressive in the goalkeeper. It is actually the 19-year-old German Ter Stegen.

"He is the youth team!!! He is a mere English Championship team to play against us with the youth team! The only reliable Fox was assigned to the right side that he has never played before!! This is contempt, Chi Guoguo looks down on us!!"

Holderswatch was really pissed off. If Charlotte appeared in front of him at this time, Holdersworth would definitely strangle him to death.It's just that he didn't think about it being a Championship team, but he was a League Two team, and there was a League One team in between.

Assistant coach Bispu thought for a while: "I heard that the opponent's head coach is a 23-year-old guy who just graduated from college."

Holderswatch froze for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Bishop nodded affirmatively: "It should be true. I remember that several media such as "The Sun" and "Daily Mail" still had a small report on the side page, saying that a 23-year-old Chinese college student entered the university. Lord Southampton, there was quite a reaction to it."

"Hahaha, let me tell you, it turns out he's a brat who doesn't understand anything!" Holderswatch smiled. It seemed that the second round of the League Cup would basically be impossible for him to escape.

The cloudy and sunny Holder Swatch was in a good mood, and even forgave Charlotte, a stunned young man. Who said that God will forgive children for making mistakes.

And in the locker room of the visiting team, Charlotte was mobilizing the youth army before the battle: "Do you want to know what the media and the opposing fans said after learning that I arranged for you to start?"

Harry Kane, Luke Shaw and other teenagers shook their heads blankly.

When they learned that they had the opportunity to start the game, they almost fainted from happiness. Where did they go back and pay attention to what the media said, who didn't hold back their energy and wanted to express themselves so as to get the substitute role in the league in the future.
