Chapter 173 Bad Start
On the court, Yunfei realized that the opponent valued him as soon as the game started, and Ma Hong's inseparable defense made him feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

However, having seen this kind of scene a lot, Yunfei was also very relaxed in dealing with it. He retreated a little bit and saw that once he was farther away from the frontcourt, Ma Hong would stop following him immediately. Yunfei probably knew what the opponent's defensive strategy looked like.

Soon, Yunfei gradually became active in the midfield, and several consecutive long passes were very accurate. As a last resort, Ma Hong could only post them, but this would undoubtedly make the space behind him even bigger!
Yunfei held the ball and saw his opponent trying to come up to him for physical contact. He smiled softly, and when Mahon ran in front of him, he passed the ball out. Suleman took the ball from the gap behind Mahon and directly entered the hinterland of Watford. Fortunately, Matthew and Mahon had a tacit understanding and cooperation. The timely supplementary defense blocked the hole in the defense line, and Suleman did not let Suleman get closer to the penalty area!

In this game, Watford formed a 5-4-1 formation, which made it clear that the defense should be stabilized first, and then the offense should be considered. Judging from the opening minutes, Watford's defense, especially the back line of the five defenders, was very solid.

Bale dribbled the ball away at a sudden speed and followed his full back, but the ball was cleared by the right center back of Watford's three center backs in the next moment.
Bell sighed in disappointment. It was a very good opportunity just now, but he still couldn't escape the control of the opponent's defenders. These five defenders are really annoying.

While he was still sighing, the ball that had just been cleared flew to the frontcourt and did not go out of the sideline. Watford striker Marlon King got the ball in the frontcourt, took advantage of Southampton's left back to follow him out, made a cross run with his teammate, and then passed the ball out!
The right midfielder Eagles dribbled the ball along the gap exposed on the wing just after the full-back came out, and quickly rushed forward!
The seasoned central defender Higgin Porter left his defensive area immediately and came to the side, blocking Eagles' way forward. At this time, Eagles did not seek credit, but passed the ball back in an inverted triangle, and Mahon, who followed up, raised his foot to face the ball and hit it!

"You don't take me seriously!"

Yunfei, who had been following Ma Hong all the time, shoveled the ball as soon as the opponent caught the ball, which made Ma Hong miss the kick and fell to the ground in a funny way.

Eagles on the wing once again got the ball from Yunfei's clearance, and then chose to pass directly!

This time, the left winger Henderson judged the right position in the penalty area, and easily scored a header from the back point, easily breaking through the gate guarded by Niemi!

0: 1!

Watford took the lead in the away game first, and it was only 8 minutes before the start of the game!

Damiano on the sidelines saw the team score and shook his fist fiercely. This goal is really important. Getting a goal first in the away game will greatly relieve the pressure on the players.

On the other side, Redknapp was a little dissatisfied with the team's defense, muttering there, and didn't know what to say.

Kenton shook his head helplessly. He had to take care of two players just now, which allowed Henderson to find a chance. He couldn't blame him entirely, but even so, it was still a bit depressing.

……

"Southampton suffered a sap shortly after the start of the game. I think the happiest people must be the fans of Reading. If Southampton loses this game, the gap they have narrowed down to two points before may be widened again!"

"Redknapp must be vigilant. A large-scale attack will definitely create an emptiness in the defense. It depends on how he chooses!"

As the narrator said, Watford's formation was really helpless when they advanced by one goal. Yunfei didn't know where to start because of his impenetrable defense.

Yunfei was standing in the midfield holding the ball. Looking up, he saw that the field was full of Watford players wearing traditional yellow and black striped shirts, while the Southampton players were already caught in it. If you don’t look carefully, it’s really hard to observe.

As a last resort, Yunfei could only continue forward with the ball. At this time, Ma Hong was naturally not happy, and used his body to continuously squeeze Yunfei, trying to get him to hand over the ball.

Feeling the huge pressure coming from beside him, Yunfei gritted his teeth, and still withstood Ma Hong's rebuttal, which surprised Ma Hong a little.

"This guy's physical fitness has improved, and he is not as easy to squeeze away as before!" Ma Hong exclaimed in his heart, slightly stunned.

It was almost 5 seconds, but Yunfei immediately took advantage of it, and suddenly accelerated, throwing away Ma Hong. When Ma Hong came back to his senses and wanted to speed up, it was already too late.

At this time, Matthew also followed, Yunfei didn't continue to dribble, and stepped on several bicycles in a row. Just when Matthew and Yunfei were about to pass, Yunfei, who was riding a bicycle, suddenly passed the ball inadvertently by using the movement of the bicycle!
At this time, Matthew was startled. He turned his head and saw that Suleman had already drawn his bow and arrow in front of the penalty area! ''

"Give me in!"

Suleman yelled in his heart, exerting force with his right foot, and pumped it to the bottom of the ball.

This kick was meant to be an elevator ball, but unfortunately the force was a bit strong, and when the ball started to fall, it had already flown past the goal.

"Well!"

The voices of regret from the home fans spread throughout the stadium. If they could equalize immediately after the opponent scored, the situation on the field would be different.

Suleman was also a little annoyed that his shot missed so much, he knelt on the ground with his head in his arms, unwilling to get up for a long time.

"Okay, it's okay, there is still more time, don't worry!"

Yunfei stepped forward and pulled Su Erman up. Although he felt very sorry, he knew that this was not the time to worry about these things.

After speaking, Yunfei pulled Bell to his side again.

"I said, can you play a little smarter? If you can't break through from the side, can you cut inside? The two midfielders in the middle are attracted by me and Suleman. There is so much space in the middle, do you have to stick to the side?" Yunfei and Bell were communicating.

"The game just started, and I avoided them to play. Doesn't that mean I'm afraid of them!" Bell plausibly said, without any embarrassment, Yunfei subconsciously rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, you are reasonable, since you are like this, then I will only pass the ball to Jones!"

After finishing speaking, Yunfei turned his head and left, leaving the dumbfounded Bell where he was.
