Chapter 355 The Saint's Counterattack

Southampton, also translated into Southampton, because it was originally a football team set up by St. Mary's Church, named "St Mary's YMA", and later changed its name, but the fans still followed the tradition and called them "Saints". ".

The team's reputation in the Premier League is neither household name nor unknown.

Over the years, Southampton have become known more because they have always had players who could be taken away by a big club, which is always Liverpool.

Mane, Chamberlain, Klein, and Lallana are all from Southampton. I heard that they have added Van Dijk to the watch list.

Everyone can already foresee that when the Red Army makes a request, the Saints will immediately offer Van Dijk their hands.

Therefore, Southampton also has the name of Liverpool scouting camp.

After the new millennium, they were relegated from the Premier League in the 04/05 season, and then ups and downs in the English Championship and League One. It was not until the 11/12 season that they returned to the Premier League as No.2 in the British Championship.

The next season, they struggled to avoid relegation.

Later, they found Pochettino, and in the 13/14 season, they won the eighth place in the league.

Immediately afterwards, they found Koman again.

Kaman coached for two seasons. In the 14/15 season, they won the seventh place in the league, and in the 7/15 season, they ranked sixth in the league.

This season, they recruited the Frenchman Claude Puel. On his resume, he has one Ligue [-] title and two Ligue [-] Super Cup titles.

It seems that it will be better than Koeman. After all, although Koeman has won three championships, there is still a little gap between the Dutch League and the Ligue [-]. Although in the eyes of most people, this gap is meaningless.

For Puel, he needs a championship trophy to prove himself.

In fact, the Saints players who were waiting for work performed very well in this game against Manchester United, with good foot skills, steady and ruthless passes on the ground, effective pressing and abundant physical fitness.

The two attacks in the middle show that Puel has done a lot of homework.But they are lagging behind.

Two goals behind, Puel gestured to his players on the sidelines inside the coach's dotted box, asking them to hold on and take it easy.

His players fell down a few times in the backcourt. After crossing the center line, they saw Martial and Ye Tian rushing up, turned around immediately, and gave the ball to the other side.

Before the game, the coach said that after playing in the middle a few times, he began to pay attention to avoiding Ye Tian.

In this way, he can be transferred to the wing to reduce the opponent's offensive options when switching from defense to offense. Of course, if he does not follow, then we can bypass a defensive champion, which is beneficial to our offense.

This round, Ye Tian didn't follow.

The Southampton player gives the ball to Raymond.

After Raymond cooperated with his teammates, he made a pass from the left.

It's a pity that Gabbiadini, who outflanked the previous point, did not touch the ball, and there was no player in the latter point.

The ball reached Rojo's area, and he ran forward to get the ball, not noticing his rear, the opponent's right back Deserique Suarez had already advanced quickly.

When he heard the shouts of his teammates, the ball had been taken by Deserek, and the Southampton players continued the attack with their own positivity and hard work.

There was tension in the restricted area.

The crossed Raymond just ran out of the baseline and was coming back, while Gabbiadini was already standing outside the small penalty area, behind Smalling.

Smalling turned around, stepped back, glanced at the two people beside him, and when he looked back at Deserik, Deserick had already wiped into the penalty area!
Rojo tackled the ball outside the penalty area with a clear intention. Even if he fouls outside the penalty area and gets a card, he must leave the person or the ball.

However, it was dodged.

Herrera, who returned to the defense, made up for it, but there was not much to do, because the two were still several meters away.

Deserek was one meter away from the corner of the small penalty area and did not hit the goal. He chose to pass the ball.

Because, Smalling's position is wrong!
In order to create an offside, Smalling stood on the small penalty area line.There is space, space for Deserik to pass the ball, and space for the two Southampton players behind to run!

When the ball is passed, Herrera has nothing to do, too far, De Gea has nothing to do, too far, Smalling, dare not tackle the ball, because if the tackle does not control the ball, it is easy to score an own goal, and the one behind him Two people, will he let him easily handle the ball?

So, the ball was passed directly, Gabbiadini and Raymond both ran, and the ball was grabbed by Gabbiadini and scored the goal!

In the penalty area, Rojo, who was still lying on the ground, raised his hand, Herrera raised his hand, Smalling raised his hand, Bailey raised his hand, Valencia raised his hand, and De Gea raised his hands.

The referee didn't blow his whistle, he looked to the linesman.

The line referee stands on the horizontal line of the small restricted area line, stands straight and straight, with his left hand drooping naturally, and his right hand raised flat, pointing forward.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssessions!!!"

Zhan Jun is not a fan of Manchester United, he only cares about whether the football is wonderful or not, and Southampton really played wonderfully!
This goal captured the consecutive mistakes of Manchester United's defense!
Gabbiadini held his head in his hands with a look of disbelief, while the other players had already run towards the opposite half, with no way or excuse.

On the big screen at the scene, before the ball was released, the slow motion of the ball began to be played.

After the left-winger Raymond made a pass, when the right-winger Deserik got the ball, Raymond was indeed in an offside position. However, this guy did not touch the ball and did not block any defensive players, while Gabbiadini, Completely behind Smalling!
Misjudged!
But the judgment on the field is the final judgment!
The Saints fans at the scene vented their dissatisfaction and put pressure on the referee on duty, hoping that it would be beneficial to them in the following games.

The game continues.

Two goals behind and another goal was blown away, but the mentality of the Saints players did not collapse. On the contrary, they became more confident as they played.

The coach is right!
Manchester United is fighting on four fronts, they must have reservations!

The combination of central defender Rojo + Jones in the previous league was dismantled. Although Bailey is in good health, Rojo is not suitable for left backs, and Smalling... huh, a big colander! !
Go Rojo, hit Smalling!

The tactical intentions of Saints players on the field are becoming clearer and clearer!
But Manchester United players dare not relax their protection on the center and right. After all, what if the opponent is feinting now?

Ye Tian and Herrera moved back a little, and concentrated on the defense in the middle. After all, all problems must be solved in the middle!

Raymond is still retreating, the short player is very fast, and the frequency of his feet is also good, very flexible.

Taking advantage of Ye Tian and Herrera pressing back, he took the ball and advanced a few meters. As soon as Ye Tian raised it a little, he immediately distributed the ball to the right to hit Rojo.

Prouse has gone to the right and Rojo is out of position again.

He still returned to the central defender position he was used to, and when he found the ball hit the wing, he immediately spread it out.

But it's too late.

Prouss, who successfully bottomed out, made a cross about 10 meters from the bottom line and two meters outside the penalty area.

Half-high ball, when it came to the middle of the goal, it was in the small penalty area, in the middle of the goal!

De Gea shot!
Gabbiadini out!
The ball was taken one step ahead by Gabbiadini and sent into the goal!
At this time, in the penalty area, Manchester United has 3 defensive players parallel to Gabbiadini, in the small penalty area, perhaps because they trust De Gea too much?No player was blocking Gabbiadini's shot.

Outside the penalty area, there were three Manchester United players facing the goal with helpless faces.

In the entire penalty area, Southampton has only one player who grabs points!
He got the point!
He scored!

Mourinho is extremely dissatisfied with this conceded goal!He loudly reprimanded Manchester United's defense on the sidelines, and used his gestures to tell his disciples to move diligently! !

Gabbiadini looked at the line referee with lingering fear, and found that the opponent had made no move. He heard the whistle of the referee's effective goal, and then reacted!

Goal!Catch up with a goal!

We... still have hope! !

At 45+2 minutes into the game, the score was rewritten!
Manchester United 2, Southampton 1!

Among the Manchester United fans, some people began to feel a little bit uneasy.

And all Saints fans seem to smell a little bit of victory.

　Dichlorvos: After the warm man burns all the warmth, he is a scumbag.
