Chapter 245 Fighting!
Martin O'Neill counted very well, successfully suppressed Southampton tactically, and the head coaches of the two teams fought each other. So far, Martin O'Neill has won the game.

But what Martin O'Neill didn't expect was that the team had nothing to do with Southampton's goal when they took the absolute initiative.

To put it bluntly, although Aston Villa successfully limited Southampton's counterattack, they were also forced to attack in a way they were not good at, because Aston Villa is also a counterattack style team.

The so-called "wind chasing boy" Abang Lahuo, at first glance, this nickname didn't come from his performance in positional warfare, did he?

Facing Southampton's tortoise shell, Aston Villa, who has very little experience in this kind of attack, also feels a little uncomfortable. It can't be broken, what should I do?
The two teams seemed to be in a tangle. Until the end of the first half, neither team was able to break the deadlock.

In general, Aston Villa's tactical arrangement is very targeted, successfully limiting the opponent's attack, but at the same time, the overly targeted arrangement also made their own attack fall into a quagmire.

During the intermission, Martin O'Neill also had some headaches because of this. You can't have both, but he didn't come here just for that one point. He wants to win, but if it goes on like this, if nothing happens, a draw may be the best result.

After thinking for a while, Martin O'Neill spoke.

"Guys, everyone performed well in the first half, but if we want to win, we have to perform better in the second half!" Martin O'Neill encouraged his disciples before continuing, "In the second half, we need to play smarter in positional warfare!"

"Crossing from the side is a good way, but it's not the only way. We can also cut inside, and we can forcefully go down and enter the penalty area. Anyway, no matter how we use it, our offensive mode can be enriched. Blindly crossing will make it easy for the opponent to guess your next move. If our offensive options suddenly become more, then we may be able to catch the opponent by surprise!"

This is already the best way Martin O'Neill can come up with. For him, at least this game cannot be lost, so he is unwilling to take risks. Those who play tactics have a characteristic, that is, they are steady, and they will not break the framework defined by their tactics to take risks, because as long as it is within this framework, the game is still under the control of the coach.

On Aston Villa's side, Martin O'Neill continued to arrange tactics for the players. On the other side, in the Southampton dressing room, Redknapp was encouraging the players.

Southampton's tactical arrangement in the second half is simple to say, that is, when the team is attacking, the two sides can be properly leaned towards the center, and the side channels are given over to the full-backs to make the offense more three-dimensional and make the opponent make mistakes in defense.Secondly, during the counterattack, the two sides can also approach the center, using Yunfei's precise pass to forcefully establish a connection in the frontcourt.

You are either pestering our wing, or you are trying to block the connection between the frontcourt players, so let's get closer to the head office!
Yunfei is already used to the coach's simple and rude tactical arrangements, and there is no surprise. In fact, these tactical arrangements are only auxiliary. As long as the players can break through the opponent's entangled defense, it will be fine. In the final analysis, it still depends on the performance of the players.

"Gareth, you have to work harder. Once you are targeted every game, you will be sluggish, okay. Let me tell you, don't think so much, just go forward with the ball and you're done!"

Yunfei said to Bell, this guy has been obsessed with dribbling the ball recently after seeing Ronaldinho's playing style, Yunfei shook his head when he saw it.

Bell nodded, he is not stupid, he is very clear about what his greatest ability is.

In the second half, the tactical arrangements of the two teams were reflected in the game.

As soon as it came up, Aston Villa continued to create threats on the side. First, the cross failed, and then when the defensive player thought that the opponent would cross again, the opponent's offensive method suddenly changed.

"Moore had no results in the previous pass. This time he suddenly chose an inverted triangle pass from the side. This time he created a threat. Juan from the center followed up and shot a goal, which was saved by the goalkeeper!"

This attack made Hughes a little vigilant, and hurriedly reminded his teammates.

"Be careful with the defense on the side, and don't let the opponent get to the bottom so easily!"

After the corner kick was taken, this time, Moore, who got the ball, suddenly chose to cut inside, but this choice was not wise. Hughes saw the timing and broke the ball quickly and ruthlessly!

"Opportunity, Southampton steals the ball, and Hughes passes the ball to Yunfei in front!"

The moment Yunfei got the ball, he glanced at it from God's perspective and saw Bell and Jones running forward in the frontcourt, and both of them were standing closer to the middle. After thinking about it, Yunfei was a little tangled. He felt that if he passed the ball at this time, there was a high probability that his teammates would not be able to catch it, but this time is indeed a good time to pass the ball.

After thinking about it, Yunfei still decided to pass the ball. To play football, you have to trust your teammates. If your teammates are not trustworthy, then the game will be meaningless.

The next moment, Yunfei directly made a long pass and passed the ball to the frontcourt.

Bell's speed is undoubtedly very few people can catch up with him. Originally, he was just sprinting forward at a constant speed, and McCann who was defending him could barely keep up.

You know, it is difficult to catch such a long-distance and fast long pass, let alone Bell's speed is so fast, it is even more difficult to catch the ball without affecting the speed!

Bell also understood this in his heart, and the next moment, he did something that no one expected.

The moment his right foot landed on the ball, he lightly touched the ball back. The forward direction of the ball was blocked, and instead it flew high. Then Bell supported his left foot, and his right foot slammed the lower part of the ball before it fell!
Just as everyone was stunned, the ball drew an incomparable arc in the air and hit the dead corner of the goal!
