Chapter 78 Wonderful corner kick coordination!
On the sidelines, a slightly disappointed Redknapp signaled for the team to continue playing like this, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold is not stable, they must grab a goal.

Billy Davis next to him anxiously signaled the players to stabilize, try to slow down the pace, pass more, and use the pass to break the opponent's high-position press.

Don't mess around at this time, if you mess up, you may be caught by the opponent, which is very fatal!
Play continues, Southampton's corner chance.

Yunfei wandered quietly outside the restricted area alone, looking for opportunities.At this time, a corner kick was taken, and the ball flew into the penalty area with an arc, and was pushed out by the opponent immediately.

The peripheral Preston striker veteran Danny Di Chio got the ball, and Yunfei, who had realized this, also returned to his defensive position in time.

This is a duel between two people, because Chio has no intention of passing back at all.

The young man on the opposite side, Chiao has heard the head coach say it many times, and the opponent's offensive talent was also revealed in the through pass just now, but what about defense?
Qi Ao had a slight sneer on his face. You must know that this guy was attacked as a defensive loophole before. He didn't believe that the other party could stop him at all. Look at his thin body, tsk tsk.

"Why do you fight against me!"

Qi Ao thought silently in his heart, dribbling the ball directly towards Yunfei, his right hand directly elbowed Yunfei's chest concealedly.

Yunfei hardly made any resistance, just as he expected, he was pushed to the ground directly!

"Hey, just this defense, it really is..." Chiao, who was about to move forward with the ball, froze, his complacent expression instantly dissipated, replaced by panic, and he saw that the ball that should have been at his feet had already rolled aside, and was stepped on by the Southampton full-back who had just come up to help defend.

"It's impossible, when?"

Qi Ao looked shocked, didn't he already pass the opponent with the ball just now?How could the ball be lost like this?

"Qiao still hasn't realized how the ball was lost under his feet. Yunfei's defense this time is very clever. He didn't try to block the opponent's advance, but focused on the ball. Let's see, the moment he fell, he stretched out his foot and directly stabbed the ball out. Qiao didn't even notice it at all!"

The commentator was full of praise for Yunfei's defense just now, and this one-on-one defense also proved that Yunfei's defense was definitely not as vulnerable as others thought.

At this time, the situation on the field changed again immediately, and Southampton's offense would not stop because of Chio's surprise.The right back who got the ball immediately passed the ball to Walcott on the wing.

This time, Preston's players learned their lesson, and two people came up to pinch him, preventing him from having any possibility of breakthrough.

After shaking back and forth a few times, Walcott, who realized that it was impossible to break through, passed the ball back, and Yunfei received the ball at the top of the penalty area.

"Do you want to kick yourself?"

This thought flashed through Yunfei's mind.

After hesitating for a tenth of a second, Yunfei still chose to pass the ball. Now he is not sure about shooting, and it may destroy the current good rhythm.

The ball was directly crossed by Yunfei and entered the penalty area. Fowler was double-teamed by two defenders and pushed the ball behind him. Jones, who followed, hit the goal again!
This time the shot was powerful and heavy, and Jones' unadjusted volley was of very high quality.

It's a pity that the goalkeeper's position is very good. He stands on the right end of the goal, facing the incoming ball, blocks with both hands, and the ball goes out of the baseline again.

corner kick!Still a corner kick!
Southampton's tide of offense after the opening made Preston terrified, and the continuous corner kicks in the front field put great pressure on them. This time, their forwards even came back to participate in the defense.

Seeing this situation, Yunfei simply called Walcott to him and gave him an opportunity.

"Theo, as soon as a tactical corner kick is sent, their defense will definitely push forward. I will pass a diagonal pass from the edge of the penalty area, and you will follow my passing route and run back to give them an anti-offside. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Walcott nodded, and he naturally agreed with Yunfei's proposal.

This time, Plutton, who took the corner kick, saw Yunfei's gesture, so he played a ground ball, and the ball was driven to the edge of the penalty area. The moment Yunfei got the ball, Walcott rushed in along the line Yunfei was going to pass the ball like lightning. At this time, Yunfei also passed the ball just right!

"Offside!"

When Preston saw Walcott dribbling the ball directly to the goalkeeper, his first reaction was to raise his hand to signal the opponent was offside, but Walcott knew very well that he was not offside at all, he was not disturbed by the opponent, faced the goalkeeper, and hit the goal directly!

This time goalkeeper Carlo Nash has no way to save his team anymore. The close attack makes him helpless and can only watch the ball hit the net!
"Goal! Southampton! It's their first goal of the game, from Theo Walcott!"

"Only 4 minutes into the game, Southampton scored a goal with an exquisite corner kick. Walcott's backrunning was very smart, and Yunfei's pass was just right. The ball was not offside. Southampton's continuous pressure after the opening has paid off!"

After Walcott scored a goal, he was so excited that he scored a goal for the first time on behalf of the team, which is really crucial for him to be able to secure a starting position.

"Yunfei, you are amazing! Good pass!"

Walcott found Yunfei at the first time, rushed into Yunfei's arms, and Yunfei picked him up.Around them, other players swarmed and huddled together.

On the bench, Bell looked jealous. These two guys started to assist and score goals, which made his desire to play even stronger.

"What's the big deal, if it's me, I can do it!" Bell murmured silently in his heart.

On the sidelines, Redknapp waved his fist and celebrated the team's lead, scoring a goal in the opening 4 minutes.Still on the road, is there a more perfect start than this?

"From the current point of view, your change of formation is successful. Our offensive performance is very strong!" Coach Taylor is also very satisfied with the team's performance after the start.

But Redknapp is very clear-headed.

"It's still too early to draw conclusions. We have hit the opponent with a weak foothold, which allows us to give full play to our offensive capabilities. When the opponent gradually adapts to our tactics, then it will be the time to really test us!"
