Chapter 83: Bloodwashing the Lion

After doing some treatment and examination for Sturridge, the team doctor told Charlotte: "Daniel is slightly injured, and there is no major problem. He can continue the game, but the team doctor team thinks that it might be better to replace him now and rest."

Without even thinking about it, Charlotte made a substitution adjustment.Now there are only ten minutes left before the end of the game, and at the same time, I am leading [-]-[-], and the opponent has only nine players, one less than Southampton, so replacing Sturridge will not have a big impact on the situation on the field. It can also better protect this guy who is often injured in the future.

But Charlotte did not replace Sturridge with a midfielder or defender to defend. This is not Charlotte's style.Charlotte's style is that you don't mess with me, and I don't mess with you, and everyone gets along.But if you offend me once, I'm sorry, everyone should stop having fun together.

So it was still a frontcourt attacker who replaced Sturridge, and Sterling went into battle!Also joining Sterling was French midfielder Paul Pogba, who replaced an already crampy Jack Cork.

In this game, Jack Kirk's running distance is very large, especially after Hammond is off the field, he and Schneiderlin will share Hammond's tasks.But Schneiderlin is not directly attacking the midfielder, so it becomes Cork's job to press the midfielder to attack, and at the same time he must take into account the defense in the middle.

Therefore, Cork's consumption was particularly high in this game, and Charlotte took this opportunity to replace him altogether.So far, Southampton's three substitutions have all been used up.

Jackett also had a troubled look on his face. Originally, he had called an attacker to warm up, but Abdul applied for a red card at this time and went off.Originally, he planned to make a last-ditch effort and use this attacker to replace Abdul to strengthen his offense.

But now that Abdu is off, who will be replaced?

The two center forwards obviously cannot be replaced, because now is the time to strengthen the offense. Boyaza, the left midfielder, just came on the field and it is definitely not suitable to replace him. The central midfielder and midfielder are gone.

Right midfielder James Henry?
In the end, Jackett decided to simply defend thoroughly. Anyway, it was only 10 minutes, and his side fell behind by two goals.Winning is impossible, but it would be better if you can gamble and steal to turn the score into one to two. Of course, it would be even better if you can equalize the score with a burst of character.

Right back Jack Smith went off and replaced with an attacking midfielder as an attacking midfielder!
"Jackett seemed to be cornered. He replaced the right back with an attacking player to strengthen the attack. At the same time, he pulled Scott Baron from the left back to the center. This is a three-back formation! "

Seeing Jackett's actions, Charlotte suddenly thought of a sentence, "If you don't die, you won't die!"

Where does his confidence come from? !
So after Richardson blocked the opponent's pass out of the sideline with one kick, causing the ball to die.Charlotte pushed Pogbara to her side and whispered a few words.

After Pogba came on the field, he brought Charlotte's tactical arrangements to the whole team.

In the No.80 second minute of the game, Schneiderlin, Wundt, and Monk formed an inverted triangle defensive end, perfectly defending the opponent's offense.

Boyaza got the football blocked by Wundt. Southampton's defense is too comprehensive. He has no chance, so he can only choose a high ball. After all, with two centers, this is Millwall's current frontcourt. The only advantage.

Gary Monk knew that his physical fitness could not keep up, and he did not choose to take off because of his rich experience, but firmly stood in his position.

McCoyd took off and landed on Gary Monk's head and headed the ball towards the goal.

Ter Stegen took a symbolic jump and didn't try hard to catch the football, because he had foreseen that the ball would fly directly out of the baseline.

Sure enough, the football flew high over the crossbar and did not pose a threat to Southampton's goal.

But at this time, the referee blew his whistle, signaling a foul by the offensive team, and Southampton set the ball in the backcourt.Of course, there is actually not much difference between a free kick in the backcourt and a goal kick.

Henderson came up to the referee Scott for a theory. Scott said that McCoyd pressed Monk when he took off, causing a foul.

Ter Stegen drove the football to the front with a big foot. Lambert took off and pushed the football to the side and then immediately went up.

Sterling got the football on the wing, took a step and then accelerated to keep up. He was flat on the wing in an instant, and James Henry, the right midfielder, was no threat to him at all.

Jackett frowned on the sidelines, with an ominous premonition welling up in his heart, and now he began to regret the move of letting the wing out.

Because there is no full-back to block, central defender Darren Ward can only step forward to intercept the opponent's attack.

Before that, Sterling had been dribbling the ball on the unguarded side. After Darren Wardla came out, he made a decisive change and quickly moved towards the middle.

Ward was shaken by the opponent and Sterling seized the opportunity. Sterling, who had just played, was full of energy, and Darren Ward had been impacted by Southampton's offensive line for more than 80 minutes, so the physical movement I can't keep up with my own thinking.

Ward, who knew that he couldn't let the opponent rush over so easily, had no choice but to foul. He directly grabbed Sterling's jersey, who wanted to cut past him.

Sterling, who was unable to defend himself, was directly pulled down by the opponent. Without any hesitation, Scott immediately blew the whistle to indicate that Millwall fouled. Southampton took a direct free kick in the frontcourt and showed Darren Ward. Yellow card.

Charlotte stood on the sidelines and clapped her hands, signaling the team to continue playing like this.

Lambert's free kick was destroyed by the opponent. Boyaza, who got the ball, took advantage of the opportunity of Southampton's two central defenders and midfielders to fight for the header and launched a counterattack.

Richardson, who stayed behind, made a gesture to his partner Danny Rose, and then rushed forward to intercept. Danny Rose delayed and was responsible for saving Richardson after his failure.

Boyaza naturally saw Richardson, but at this time there was no teammate in front of him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and break through with the ball.

Richardson who came up did not step down blindly, but stuck the opponent's position and used his body to squeeze the opponent toward the sideline.

Boyaza's physical fitness is relatively good, so he was not squeezed out by Richardson, but his body is a bit crooked.That was enough for Richardson, who went straight to snatch the ball from the opponent.

"Come on! Fraser!!" Charlotte shouted immediately after seeing this scene.

After Richardson's ball, he pushed back along the same route as Boyaza's attack.Adam Lallana, who originally wanted to return to the wing, suddenly went forward to the center at this time, leaving the space on the wing for Richardson.

Millwall's right flank was undefended, as was the left flank.If Sterling took the ball to attack the opponent and there was James Henry before, after Richardson shook off Boyaza, it was really flat.

The two central defenders, Jose Fonte and Gary Monk, who were returning to defense, suddenly changed direction and rushed into the opponent's small penalty area again at this time, directly standing inside and waiting for Richardson's pass.

Seeing that his two teammates were already at the front, center Lambert chose to retreat, and he came behind the two central defenders.At this time, Adam Lallana also came to the middle. After seeing Lambert retreating, Lallana pushed up and stood in front of Darren Ward.

After Richardson took the ball to a favorable position, he kicked the football out.

Feng Te, Monk and Lallana in the middle jumped together to compete for the top, and Robinson, Baron and Ward, who were in charge of guarding them, also jumped up.

But Richardson's pass did not go to the middle, but slid over the heads of the six in the middle.

Sterling on the left easily lifted his foot to unload Richardson's pass. Just as the six talents in the middle landed, Scott swept the middle directly!

Lambert did not stop the ball, but swung his leg directly to Sterling's pass and shot.

The speed of the ball was so fast that the six people in the small penalty area couldn't react at all, and then flew into the net from a small space.

For a moment, even Lambert himself was stunned.

"Three to zero!!"

"Southampton extended the score!!!"

"Good job! Just let them know what will happen if you piss us off!" Charlotte waved her fists on the sidelines.

Jackett was completely hopeless, turned his head and sat in his chair
In fact, even if the goal is not scored, no one thinks that Millwall still has hope. Everything is just wishful thinking by Jackett himself.

"Strictly speaking, Jackett himself is fully responsible for this conceded goal. It was his substitution that exposed his defense to Southampton's firepower. Everyone knows that the most threatening Southampton is They attack from the flanks, but Jackett is not defending the flanks at this time."

The narrators began to "criticize" Jackett.

Southampton's goal celebration lasted so long that when Millwall kicked off, the fourth official directly raised the sign for two minutes of stoppage time.

Millwall thoroughly showed everyone what it means to be "a thousand miles away". In the last minute of stoppage time, Millwall who let down his vigilance was successfully attacked by Sterling, and the score was also frozen at zero. than four.

Millwall fans are obviously not satisfied with the process and the ending of the game. Some radical fans proposed to block Southampton's team bus after the game.
In the press conference after the game, Charlotte fired directly at Millwall.Especially when I learned that Stewart's tackle against Hammond in the first half was a "flop". Of course, it can't be said to be a flop. Exaggeration is obviously interfering with the referee's judgment.

After knowing the result, Charlotte directly stated that Stewart's action and the words that the opposing coach Jackett explained to the fourth official after Abdul's malicious foul were the most "poor" performances!

The head coach of Millwall was naturally unwilling to be lonely, and immediately fought back, even saying that Scott, the referee on duty, was suspected of favoring Southampton.

The whole post-match press conference was full of gunpowder, and it almost didn't work.

And the most excited is the group of reporters on Fleet Street.
