Chapter 565
This Bielsa is indeed a lunatic!
Benitez stood in front of the coach's bench of the visiting team at St. Mary's Stadium, turned his head sideways, glanced at Bielsa who was squatting in front of the coach's bench of the home team, and sighed secretly with a wry smile.

If it is said that Southampton is determined to win this game and wants to continue to attack Manchester United.

Then Chelsea also has the belief that they must win, because they want to keep their top four in the league.

For this game, Benitez has made sufficient preparations, and he is also cautious in arranging troops.

When taking over the Blues this season, Benitez made an agreement with Abramovich. He is only the team's transitional coach and coaches for one year. Abramovich's real goal is Mourinho of Real Madrid.

But even so, Benitez still showed his coaching level.

From the four-two-three-one during Di Matteo's period to the current four-four-one, Benitez's team has become more stable.

For [-], Benitez is more familiar than anyone, this is his famous tactic.

But he also knows better than anyone else how high the requirements are for the four-two-three pair of wide players, especially the full-backs.

The distance between the full-back and the winger is too long, resulting in too weak defense along the entire wing.

Chelsea's two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Ivanovic, are old, and the other is obviously not the main winger type.

In addition to the frontcourt, whether it is Mata, Adam Lallana or Oscar, the areas where they are used to activities are very close, and their playing styles are also very similar. They are not the type of players who can play wide on the wing.

This makes Chelsea's entire [-] tactic on the wing very serious.

Therefore, after Benitez took over, he began to adjust the team and changed to a [-] tactic.

At the same time, for the three talented players in the midfield, Mata, Adam Lallana and Oscar, Benitez also has a choice. The three players can only play two at the same time at most, and even occasionally only one.

Another starting spot, he gave the teenager Moses, this is an extremely fast African winger.

Although the technique and consciousness are rough, but the speed is fast and the impact is strong, that's enough.

In this game, Chelsea still adopted the [-] tactic.

Petr Cech in goal and Ashley Cole, Benatia, David Luiz and Ivanovic in defense.

The midfield is Oscar, Lampard, Mikel and Ramirez.

The front line is one behind the other, namely Demba Ba and Mata.

As for the Spanish fellow Torres, he has already been sidelined by Benitez.

Southampton's performance this season is getting better and better. This team is very young. As the season progresses, the players increase rapidly and improve rapidly, and Bielsa's tactics are varied and unpredictable.

But Benitez is also a tactical master. Ask yourself this starting lineup. Although it has obvious flaws, it is already the strongest lineup that Chelsea can form. The away game against Southampton is difficult to win, but it will not be a disastrous defeat.

But who would have thought that Bielsa would surprise everyone from the very beginning.

In this battle, Bielsa made a bold change and even changed to a three-back.

Nastasic, Javi Martinez and Varane, the three central defenders are all on!
More importantly, Matic is on the midfielder position!
In front of Matic, Pogba and Modric were arranged to start at the same time.

On the front line is the double striker combination of Drogba and Sturridge!

There are two more?

Danilo and Gareth Bale!
The two players are on the right and left respectively, acting as free agents on the wing!

Faced with such a tactical play, Benitez almost collapsed.

In the past two or three years, I have never seen Southampton play such a tactical play. Why did it suddenly change?

But when it comes to the three defenders, Bielsa is the master. His peak moment was played by the three defenders.

Of course, his three-three-one-three tactics in the Argentine national team were criticized by fans.

But in the coaching circle, his tactics are still quite respected.

Now, with the re-introduction of three defenders, who dares to be careless?
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Benitez called on the players to be careful and to shrink the formation.

But even so, Southampton bombed Chelsea's goal indiscriminately from the very beginning.

Almost from the beginning of the game, there was a panic in front of Chelsea's goal, and the Saints' offensive was wave after wave.

In particular, the two free men on the wing, with fast speed, excellent running ability, and strong personal ability, can go up and down, threatening Chelsea's penalty area time and time again, helping Southampton create a lot of scoring opportunities.

Only 10 minutes into the first half, Southampton had already made ten shots, four of which were on target, three corner kicks, one offside, six fouls and no yellow cards.

From this data, one can fully imagine how intense the game was and how fast the pace was!

Bielsa made it clear in this game that he used the advantage of the home court to go all out and use a violent offensive to completely defeat Chelsea!

Benitez is powerless about this.

There is a saying that goes well, a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

No one, he can't do anything!

"Drogba, Sturridge and Matic are very active today!"

Sitting in the grandstand of St. Mary's Stadium, Yang Huan looked at Abramovich with a smile.

The Russian went to Southampton with the team and was invited to sit in the grandstand next to Yang Huan.

At this moment, upon hearing Yang Huan's words, the Russian's cheek was tingling hotly.

These three players were all given to Southampton by Chelsea for nothing, but now, all of them have made a name for themselves!
Even Abramovich felt that Yang Huan must have done it on purpose.

In this game against Chelsea, arranging this group of old Chelsea players to start is to humiliate him!
This point really wronged our Young Master Huan, who has such a wicked taste?

Besides, now is the critical moment for the championship with Manchester United. There is no room for loss in a game. Can you play casually like this?
"It's a pity, Cech performed so well!" Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.

From the beginning to the present, Southampton has been attacking against Chelsea and created quite a few scoring opportunities, but Cech has at least saved Southampton's two must-goal opportunities.

It can only be said that the Czech goalkeeper has returned to the top tonight with the help of a god!

Abramovich was terrified watching it. Almost every attack by Southampton could make him break out in a cold sweat, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be scored at any time.

The most annoying thing is that Drogba.

Damn, didn't you start playing as a substitute this season?

Why is this game still like playing chicken blood?Is there a bonus for being so active?

People who are a lot of age don't know how to play leisurely?

"Roman, let me discuss something with you!" Yang Huan turned his head sideways with a smile and said.

Abramovich's eyelids twitched. When this guy was smiling, something must have happened!

"What's the matter?" He looked very wary.

The eyes seem to say, you...you don't want to poach us, do you?

Yang Huan became depressed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I really don't like your Chelsea possessions!"

These words immediately made Abramovich depressed!

Can't see it?
How dare you not like Chelsea's lineup?
But look at the pitch, and think about Southampton's squad, and Abramovich wants to cry.

It's not surprising that people don't like it!
In which position does Southampton currently occupy without a strong star?
If one is missing, two are normal!
This is simply the configuration of Real Madrid and Barcelona!
"What's that?" Abramovich still asked warily.

Yang Huan grinned, "I see, it's not interesting to just watch the game, why don't we gamble again?"

"Gambling?" Abramovich is sensitive to this word and has a phobia.

"Let's bet a little bit. I recently fell in love with Suarez of Liverpool. If you Chelsea lose, you will pay to bring me in. If we lose to Southampton, I will also pay to help you bring in a player. How about it?"

Abramovich looked down the court, feeling depressed.

Didn't my fucking brain get kicked by a donkey, bet with you?
Now in this situation, if your team is playing against my team, I would be stupid enough to bet with you in the middle of winter?

I'm all right?
"Don't you dare?" Yang Huan made an expression that you wouldn't be so courageous.

Abramovich wanted to say, who dare not?
However, the only reason left in his mind told him that now is really not the time to be willful.

"Well, I'll give you a ball!" Yang Huan said boldly.

Abramovich still dare not speak.

Looking at the situation below the pitch, even if Southampton concedes a goal, it is not safe.

Completely under pressure, when the ball will be lost, who knows?
"It's a big deal, I'll let you have two balls, okay?" Yang Huan was depressed, and he almost asked, did you hide little Roman in the safe and dare not take it out?
I already gave you two balls, don't you dare?
Abramovich did have a phobia towards Yang Huan, so he had no choice but to smile wryly, "I'm sorry, I swear off my fingers and quit gambling!"

I rub!

Yang Huan looked at his hands. Abramovich didn't have time to hide it. He saw that all ten fingers were fine. How could he chop off his fingers to quit gambling?
But at this point, he understood that this guy definitely didn't dare to gamble!

"Oh, forget it, if you don't gamble, I can't force you, can I?"

Abramovich breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Yang Huan's next sentence almost made him go berserk.

"Since you don't dare to bet, I'll just bet with my left hand and right hand!"

After speaking, Yang Huan raised his hands.

"Left hand, left hand, how many goals do you think you can win?"

"At least win four!"

"So little? I think I can win five!"

"How about we make a bet?"

"Okay, whoever loses will take off his clothes and run naked!"

"OK, no problem!"

Abramovich wanted to cry while listening, isn't this too embarrassing?

Do you really think I'm dead?

Still betting with the left hand and the right hand?And run naked after losing the bet?
Tell me, why are you running naked with your fingers?

But what dare Abramovich say?
He was invited face to face, but he still didn't dare to gamble, what can he say at this time?
But it was at this time that the situation on the court changed suddenly.

After stealing the ball from Southampton's midfielder, he advanced quickly and scored into Chelsea's penalty area.

Gareth Bell, who quickly plugged in from the left, rushed to the left side of the penalty area.

After receiving a pass from Drogba, Modric crossed to the left. After Gareth Bale received the ball, he glanced at the penalty area and kicked the ball with his left foot.

The ball crossed an arc and fell towards the back of the goal. Sturridge shook off Chelsea's defenders.

The ball crossed an arc, wiped the right post of the goal with great precision, and crashed into Chelsea's goal.

One to zero!

Sturridge's goal completely ignited the passion of St. Mary's Stadium.

Abramovich sat upright in the stands, secretly wiping a cold sweat.

Damn Xipi, luckily I didn't agree to bet with him just now, otherwise...
