Chapter 224 Falling behind!The situation is reversed!

At this moment, Jones' eyes were fixed on the ball, and he didn't look up at the goalkeeper in front of him.

Catch up with the ball!work hard!shoot!

"Jones chose to shoot! A powerful volley! The powerful shot is extremely threatening, but unfortunately the ball was shot from a close corner and was saved by the goalkeeper! Jones wasted an opportunity to expand the score!"

Jones stared blankly at the ball that had flown out of the baseline, looked up to the sky and sighed, and shook his head regretfully.

The fans at home also felt that they had escaped a catastrophe, and immediately gave encouraging applause to the team's goalkeeper.

After missing this opportunity, Everton's large-scale attack was stagnant, and then, he never dared to press so high, and because of this, Southampton did not have so many opportunities to counterattack, and the situation on the field fell into a stalemate.

Soon, the first half of the game was over, and Southampton's first Premier League game of the new season led Everton by one away goal!

During the intermission, Redknapp emphasized the importance of defense. He didn't care about the team's offense or counterattack. With Yunfei and these amazingly fast guys, he was not afraid of the team's counterattack.But now, defense is obviously more important to Southampton. In the Premier League, zero seals are always more difficult than goals.

"I believe that at the beginning of the second half, Everton will definitely choose to grab the start and try to equalize the score as soon as it comes up. You must be vigilant and concentrate, and you must not let your opponent succeed!"

Redknapp had fully guessed Moyes' second-half arrangement, and he was finely arranging the offensive tactics for the players after the opening of the second half.

"Southampton's right-back, this Baird, is a guest full-back in the midfield, so there are some problems with his defense and sense of position. In the second half, I will make a fuss about him and attack him continuously. Break through or cross from this side. In the second half, I need to grab a goal. This goal is very important!"

Moyes' words are resounding, he has been in Everton for so many years, he already has his own prestige in the dressing room, and the players also believe in his words.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Baird immediately felt the huge defensive pressure. The Everton players rushed towards him like a flood, and they caught him off guard!
Just 2 minutes after the opening of the second half, Davis successfully broke through the embarrassed Baird and made a cross!

The power of this pass is not very strong. James Beatty is on the edge of the penalty area, leaning against the defender, jumps up slightly, and rubs the ball towards the middle of the penalty area!
Andy Johnson followed up with a volley and sent the ball into Southampton's goal. The shot was too close, and the goalkeeper had no time to react!
At the beginning of the second half, Southampton was equalized, and Moyes' arrangement had an immediate effect!
This time, the Everton players were more confident. They continued to attack Baird's right flank. There was really no other way. Hughes could only move to the side as much as possible to help Baird stabilize his defense.

The game continued like this for another 10 minutes, and the two teams were once again at a stalemate. Everton was determined to cut a hole in Southampton's right.

But at this time, Yunfei has already sensed the danger. The right side of the team is now impregnable, but the center and left side have become extremely empty. Any long pass transfer may create a huge threat, but due to his own disadvantage on the right side, this situation cannot be changed in a short time.

At this moment, the ball that had been passing back and forth on Southampton's right was suddenly hit in the middle. Arteta followed up with the ball in the middle and went straight into the penalty area!

Yunfei was beside him, and immediately stuck to him, trying to break the ball under his opponent's feet.But at this time, Arteta showed his delicate side of the Spaniard. Facing Yunfei's pressing, his feet staggered, and the ball was turned from behind to the other side by him, throwing Yunfei to the other side.

However, Yunfei's second reaction was also quick. Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and squeezed up again, but this time, Arteta withstood the physical contact, and at the same time opened his bow and arrow!He chose a direct long shot!
Arteta chose to rub the ball with a kick. The ball crossed a perfect arc in the air and hit the dead corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Davis could only look at the ball and sigh!

"The goal is scored!!! Mikel Arteta! The Spaniard gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Yunfei, and his long-range shot shocked everyone. Everton overtook it!"

The fans of the lead singer were completely crazy at this time, and the huge volume of sound swept through Goodison Park Stadium. Together with the Everton players who hugged and celebrated their goals at this time, they constituted the most beautiful picture in the eyes of the home fans at this time.

Moyes finally let go of his heart on the sidelines at this time, and raised his hands high with pride, celebrating the goal. That way, no matter how you look at it, it makes people uncomfortable.

That's right, Redknapp is uncomfortable looking at it!
"The team's defense, the problem is still too big!"

Redknapp sighed dejectedly. Isn't it just such a situation that such a large copper leak is being targeted by someone? Now there are more than 30 minutes left, and the remaining time will obviously be even more difficult to deal with.

"Or, put on Powell!" Taylor suggested.

Redknapp nodded and did not speak. At this time, even with a solid defense, the team is still behind. It is still difficult to equalize!

Soon after the warm-up ended, Powell replaced Baird, who had been beaten into a sieve. When Baird left the field, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he was able to relax a bit. The feeling of being madly targeted as a weakness on the field is not so good.

Powell's playing obviously played a vital role in the stability of Southampton's defense. Although he may not be in the best physical condition, his speed and strong body allow him to easily deal with the impact of the opponent's winger Simon Davis.

But at this time, Everton is not in a hurry to attack, and the team has already overtaken the score. For Everton, they only need to hold this score, and they can get all three points.Especially when the opponent's counterattack is very sharp, Everton will not continue such a violent attack no matter how stupid it is!
