Father Green

Chapter 46: Leading the Game Like a Bandmaster

At the beginning of the second half, Allardyce was off the sidelines, his 260-pound frame sat on the coach's bench with his legs crossed, and he was clearly sure of this game.

At the beginning of the second half, West Ham United also carried out the storming task arranged by Allardyce at halftime, preventing Southampton from organizing an effective counterattack.

"You are still young after all. Such a young man should be an assistant coach honestly and accumulate more experience." Allardyce shook his head and sighed, still feeling a little envious and jealous in his heart.

After 20 years of professional football and retirement, he slowly transitioned from player to assistant coach and finally to head coach, and then gained experience in small clubs such as Notts County and Blackpool, and finally became Bolton and Blackburn. As well as the head coaches of well-known Premier League teams such as Newcastle United and West Ham.

The history of Allardyce is undoubtedly the evolution of 90.00% of England's coaches, and now Allardyce is 57 years old, but now sitting in the position of Southampton's head coach is actually a 23-year-old boy
It is impossible to say that Allardyce is not a little upset. In fact, many Championship coaches are a little upset with Charlotte. Ranking seniority is very common in English football.

Charlotte didn't know that Allardyce envied and hated her, but this didn't affect Charlotte scolding Allardyce in her heart. She was beaten [-]-[-] in the first half. No one would be happy about whoever put this on .

But after seeing West Ham, which played fiercely for seven or eight minutes in the second half, began to restrain itself, Charlotte smiled.

Damn, I thought you guys were hardcore, and you could beat me madly for nine or ten minutes.

Everything was about the same as I expected, but Charlotte didn't immediately launch a counterattack. In a game like this, counterattacks must be accurate. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to fight when the opponent is on guard. What's more, they are still two goals ahead.

Made a gesture of pressing down, and then pointed to Sturridge, indicating to seize the weakness of the opponent's right back.

Charlotte stood in the coach command area and watched every move on the field.

Allardyce felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.Looking at the situation on the field, Southampton did not quickly invest in the offense after getting the ball, but adopted a way of possession of the ball, taking no time to rush.

"Big Sam" smiled, it turned out that the opponent had given up the game.

The fans of Southampton are quite entangled. Two days ago, they saw their team killing all sides at home and completely bloodbathed the rival Portsmouth. They thought that the team could continue the situation in this game and kill West Ham. Falling off the horse.

So even though this game is an away game, there are not many Saints fans who come to Upton Park to watch the game. After all, the distance between Southampton and London is only an hour by car or train.

The so-called greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Not to mention failing to kill West Ham, they made a 45-[-] in [-] minutes.And after the start of the second half, although West Ham's offensive was withstood, Southampton did not give back to the opponent after West Ham slowed down.

Give up the game?Saints fans immediately thought of this possibility.

England fans are the purest fans. They can support a team whose name has never been heard by fans all over the world, even if this team may not even make it to the third round of the FA Cup.They can tolerate many things, but the most intolerable thing is that the team has no desire to win, that is, the players don't work hard.

The fans were angry, and they planned to boo to express their dissatisfaction with the team.But just as they were about to start booing their own team, Charlotte, who had been standing on the sidelines, gestured.

Raise your right hand and wave!
Schneiderlin who took the ball directly sent a long pass, but it was not to the center Lambert, but to Sturridge on the left.

The ball is still in the air, but Sturridge has been pinched by Piccione and O'Brien.Sturridge suddenly had an idea, raised his right foot and knocked the football to Danny Rose behind him with his heel without waiting for the football to hit the ground, and then broke through the joint attack of O'Brien and Piccione.

Naturally, Danny Rose would not pull his teammates back, and immediately passed the football back to Sturridge who was going forward, and the football passed over the heads of O'Brien and Piccione.

Just like Charlotte's half-time analysis, West Ham's right midfielder and right back are not explosive and fast, so once Sturridge hits the two can only hope and sigh.

The Brazilian central defender Dao, who just joined West Ham from Sao Paulo, had not had time to communicate with his central defender partner Weston Reid, so he came up to intercept Sturridge on his own initiative.

The spirited Sturridge spotted the neutral distance between Dao and Reid, and a ground ball directly swept across the middle.

The center Ricky Lambert, who has been waiting for the opportunity, will naturally not miss this opportunity. He used his physical advantage to suppress the unprepared Reid, and then opened his bow to face Sturridge's pass and directly strafed the goal. lower left corner.

England goalkeeper Green made a save, but it was too late, and the ball went around his ten fingers and crashed into the net.

"Great job!!" Charlotte was even more excited than Lambert who scored the goal, jumping up on the spot and performing a 360-degree spin in the air.

"That's it!!"

Lambert and Sturridge embraced together. For them, this goal was not just a simple goal, but a symbol of the effective tactical arrangement of the head coach Charlotte. In the hands of the head coach.

"Although Southampton's head coach Charlotte is young, he is not inferior to the head coaches of other Championship teams in terms of on-the-spot command. In the first half, the team fell behind [-]-[-]. Obviously, during the intermission, Charlotte played against the team Targeted adjustments were made, which not only suppressed West Ham's offensive in the opening game, but also seized the opponent's weakness to win back a victory." The commentator from Sky Sports gave Charlotte a thumbs up without hesitation.

"Especially the action of standing on the sidelines and waving just now. With Charlotte's wave, Southampton immediately played a wonderful attack and scored a goal. It's like a band commander standing on the sidelines. He He firmly grasped the situation on the field with his hands."

"It's just a coincidence." Another invited guest obviously didn't like Charlotte very much.

The commentary of the two partners is like talking about cross talk, one person holds point A, and the other has to hold point B.

"Of course, the possibility of this goal accident is relatively high"

After all, the appeal of the English Championship is limited, so generally only one or two games in a round will be broadcast live.The goal of this round of live broadcast is the match between Southampton and West Ham, as well as the contest between Watford and Cardiff City.

When it comes to Cardiff City, you have to talk about the wife and uncle of the king Andy Lau.The wealthy Malaysian businessman has now acquired the Welsh team. The first move was to replace the team emblem of Cardiff City from a swallow to a red flying dragon, and then changed the theme color of Cardiff City from blue to red.
A wealthy Malaysian businessman explained that in the East, dragons and red are auspicious and festive symbols, so the team's team logo should be dragons rather than swallows, and red rather than blue.

This time, the pot exploded. The Malaysian had just taken office, and fans were calling for him to get out, and even the fans organized various demonstrations.

So the hottest thing in the British Championship this summer is not Southampton, who appointed a 23-year-old boy as the head coach, but the wealthy Malaysian businessman and his Cardiff City team.

But Charlotte is not in the mood to think about the "death contest" of a wealthy Malaysian businessman. What he is thinking about now is that he cannot die in this game.

So Charlotte immediately made a gesture to let the team continue like this, forcibly walking on two sides, especially Sturridge's side, until the opponent collapsed.

The midfield has always been a battleground for strategists, but Allardyce met Charlotte today, who is a weirdo, and abandoned the midfield to play on both sides.

Moreover, Adam Lallana, who plays the front midfielder, was originally born on the wing, but Adam Lallana, who lacked speed and impact in Charlotte's tactics, had no position on the wing and was placed in the middle by Charlotte.However, in this game, in order to completely fly the two wingers, Charlotte let Adam Lallana and Sturridge hit each other's right side together.

The poor right back O'Brien and the even more poor right center back Dao, he was given a "warm welcome" by Charlotte just after he came to West Ham United.
