Chapter 240 Chaos in the Premier League!

After the national team match day, it will be the fourth round of the Premier League.

In this round of the game, Southampton will play away against Bolton.

This season, Bolton's game showed a rhythm of driving high and low. After winning the opponent in the first game, the second game was tied immediately, and then the third game was lost to Charlton, who was at the bottom of the league and had not scored a goal since the beginning of the season. It was surprising.

So before the start of this game, both Southampton and the media believed that Southampton, who is currently in good shape, will definitely be able to beat Bolton, but obviously the game will not be as smooth as they predicted.

At the beginning of the game, Bolton showed their strong offensive power in the frontcourt. Former Arsenal and Real Madrid striker French striker Anelka returned to England and seemed to have regained his peak form when he was in Arsenal. He was unstoppable in the frontcourt whether he was dribbling or shooting!
In the 31st minute of the first half, after consecutive breakthroughs in the frontcourt, Anelka shot through the gate guarded by Davis with a tricky long shot.

But Bolton's offensive was far from over. Before the end of the first half, Fortune, who was still playing for Manchester United last season and was loaned to Bolton this season, sent another wonderful through ball, piercing Southampton's defense. After Anelka dunked the central defender in the penalty area, he shot through the net!

Two to zero!
Before the end of the first half, Southampton had already fallen into a huge disadvantage in the score.

Southampton can't restrain Anelka who is in good form at all on the defensive end. If the Frenchman really returns to his peak state, there are very few people in the world who can restrain him. Southampton's defense line is obviously not enough.

At the same time, Southampton was also struggling on the offensive end. Fuller was unable to start because he participated in the national team game. Rossi was the starting striker in this game.But Rossi, who is only 1 meters tall, can't play the role of Fuller's fulcrum in the frontcourt.

Facing the opponent's strict defense on the wing, Bell and Jones had to frequently kick high balls into the penalty area, but with Rossi standing inside, these crosses naturally became useless.

Yunfei naturally thought of a way to try to solve such a problem.But after the opponent took a two-goal lead, the situation became worse. Facing Bolton, who had started to retreat as a whole, there was no high point in the penalty area. Even Yunfei couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem.

In the second half, after Fuller was replaced, Southampton's offense improved again, but they still failed to break through the goal of Bolton, which was strictly defending.
In the end, Southampton lost to Bolton [-]-[-], ushering in the first defeat of the Premier League this season.

However, luck and misfortune depend on each other, and this defeat also reduced the attention of the outside world to Southampton. In this game, many players who were touted before have returned to ordinary, including Yunfei!

Bolton's team is very strange. They are an alternative to English football. They belong to the famous international column. The whole team starts, and almost no Englishman is there. Therefore, their football style is quite different from other teams.

Although Yunfei has tried his best to adapt himself to the opponent's football style during training, he cannot represent the team after all. Facing the opponent's delicate offensive style and the super shooter Anelka who is in full swing, it is normal to lose.

In this team, Fortune, who struggled at Manchester United last season, has suddenly become a fish in water here. From this, we can also see the huge difference in style between the two teams.

……

Not only Southampton lost in this round, yes, it was Arsenal who were unlucky this time. After the upset loss to Manchester City in the last round, Arsenal drew with Middlesbrough again in this round. After everything, the Arsenal fans lost their spirits and began to slowly become Buddhist.

Of course, in this round of competition, the worst is not Arsenal, but Liverpool!In the famous Merseyside derby, Liverpool lost three goals to their rivals Everton in the same city. Although Liverpool had two wins and one tie at the beginning of this season, the results were still very good, but this defeat made Benitez start to face the criticism of the media again.

In world football, derby games are often games that must not be lost. No matter how good your performance is, if you lose the derby, the fans' evaluation of you this season will drop a lot.Conversely, if your performance this season is not good, but you can double-kill the derby opponent, it may also help you secure your position. This is the great significance of the derby!

This time, the fight between Benitez and Moyes ended in Moyes' complete victory.

The current Anfield lacks a real striker. The stadium is quietly waiting for the birth of the next golden boy. This time will not be too long!
In another focus game, Manchester United beat Tottenham [-]-[-]. Ronaldinho, who had been criticized by the media before, responded to doubts with his performance, contributing two goals and one assist to help the team beat Tottenham.

In this way, after four games, Ronaldinho has already scored three goals. He has proved himself with his performance, and he has gradually stood up in this round of media storm.

Now, after four rounds of the league, Manchester United is temporarily at the top of the standings with a goal difference advantage over Portsmouth, which also has [-] points.Portsmouth had an amazing start to the season, and also achieved three wins and one draw. However, they faced no strong opponents at the beginning, and the next schedule will be a test for them.If they are not careful, they will fall from the second place in the league.

After that, Chelsea ranked third in the league with 9 points. This season, Chelsea seems to have lost the stability of the previous two seasons. Not only did they lose one game, but they also played very tangled in other games, without that suffocating sense of oppression.Of course, this is also related to injuries. In the past, Duff went to Newcastle, and Robben was unable to play due to injury. In this case, Chelsea lacks attack power on the wing, and it is normal to play very hard in the league!

Then it was not until the eighth place that you could see the name of Liverpool, and then you could not see the names of Southampton and Arsenal until the 11th and 12th. Arsenal also ranked behind Southampton because of the goal difference disadvantage.

If Chelsea's poor performance is due to their offensive problems, then Arsenal's poor performance is very strange. With Henry on the front line, they scored three goals in four games, which is really unexpected.Did you say that the defense is poor? No, they only conceded three goals in four rounds. To be honest, this is not a lot, so it is hard to say for Arsenal now. It is [-]-[-] to play against anyone. Maybe this is the result of the younger generation and the replacement. I don’t know how long Henry will have the patience to stay here.After all, Henry's hunger for titles isn't much of a secret.

Generally speaking, this is a troubled time in the Premier League. Chelsea, the king that has won the championship for two consecutive years, has begun to decline.
