song of the saints

Chapter 104 Why is it you again

After the game, Chen Zhun accepted the harsh comments from various reporters, but Chen Zhun, who is already considered a veteran of the world, easily resolved them one by one.To be honest, before the game, Chen Zhun didn't even think of using the bus tactic. In the past, he even hated this tactic. In his previous life, he cursed Mourinho for using this tactic in the game.However, the irony is that I have no choice but to use this tactic today, and the media honorably awarded the instigator of this tactic to Chen Zhun himself, naming it "double-decker bus tactic".This made Chen Zhun dumbfounded, and he also blamed himself for his reckless behavior in the previous life. It seems that there is really a time like God's will, and he can't talk nonsense in the future!

Three days later, the two teams met again!Only this time the venue was changed to Anfield.

Anders Svensson re-entered the squad after a few months, which was the only surprise brought by Chen Zhun in this game.As for the lineup, it is still the one that Chen Zhun believes is the strongest.Today, Chen Zhun made a starting lineup with 442 as the basic formation.

Goalkeeper Frey, Frey's performance in these few games has made people completely forget the existence of Niemi. Although his goal line skills are indeed not satisfactory, he still relies on other advantages to make up for it, and his performance is very stable.The two full-backs are undisputed England doubles, Nicky Shorey and Luke Young.The fighting power that has been fought and the super adaptability may make it time for the two veterans on the bench to consider the life of retirement.Chen Zhun is also planning to let two veterans join the coaching team to share the defensive training.The position of the central defender is the partner of Lund Kwan and the teenager Koscielny, one high and one fast, complementing each other.The four midfielders are still Glenshire, Arteta, Delap and Adam Lallana, and the two forwards are Crouch and Kevin Phillips.

Liverpool's starting lineup is also strong, with van der Sar and Carragher leading the defense, Alonso and Gerrard in the midfield, and Pangele charging forward.It seems that Southampton have no chance of winning.Of course, Chen Zhun only intended to ask for one point.

Chen Zhun and Benitez embraced for the third time.

"Oh! Rafa, why is it you again!" Chen Zhun joked.

Benitez didn't speak, just smiled.

Laughter is a laugh, talk is a talk.Everything changed when we arrived at the stadium, and the smell of gunpowder filled the surroundings.

This is just a stage for winners.

The players of the two teams were eager to try and determined to compete, especially the Southampton team. After winning the last game, this gave them a great increase in self-confidence.

After the start of the match, the two teams did not hide anything. After all, it had already been a round of battle, and each other's combat effectiveness had been well established. In the current situation, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, the fight is all about momentum and courage.

The two teams are on par with each other. The Liverpool team brought the home team's song "You Will Never Walk Alone" to attack the entire defense line of the Southampton team again and again, and the Southampton team also has a strong self-confidence and can be tenacious every time. Hold the last line of defense, and fight back again and again.

The two teams played back and forth, and the fans were hooked.No sloppy, no intentional foul, no delay of rhythm.This should be the longest game in the Premier League so far this season.It is a pity that in the second 10 minutes of the game, there was no goal, which could not allow this offensive battle to have a perfect sublimation process.

The head coaches of the two teams also anxiously walked up and down in the coaching area, directing the game.

The game came to three 10 minutes.During this period of time, the pace of the game slowly slowed down, because the high-intensity and fast-paced offensive battle at the beginning consumed a lot of physical strength of the players, and now it is time to replenish physical strength.

Chen Zhun understands that this is a great opportunity to get a chance!A bold idea came to Chen Zhun's mind.

Go on the offensive!

Maybe it was the hot atmosphere in the stadium that affected Chen Zhun, maybe it was the victory in the last game that affected Chen Zhun, or maybe Chen Zhun had changed.

He stood up, walked to the coach's command area, and loudly gestured forward.This made the players a little at a loss, because Chen Zhun always asked them to stabilize their defense during training, but today the head coach did the opposite.But the head coach's order is to be obeyed unconditionally.

The Southampton players began to move the defense forward, showing a pressing posture, supplemented by high-position pressing tactics.

After 5 minutes, there was no change on the field. What changed was that the players of the Southampton team couldn't run anymore.

But Chen Zhun still sat on the coach's bench, stood still and did not make any changes.

Seeing such a situation, Reid leaned into Chen Zhun's ear and said, "David! It's time for the players to relax. The energy consumption is very high. If this continues, Liverpool will seize the opportunity!"

Chen Zhun kept looking at the field, crossed his hands in front of his mouth, and said, "Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!"

The result was Liverpool's goal.

It's still Pangele, it's still single-handed, it's still Alonso's through ball.

Once again, Chen Zhun made improper command on the spot, causing the team to lose the ball. Losing the ball on the field is not a terrible thing. What is terrible is that such a predictable loss of the ball can be changed in advance, but because of his own hesitation, the hesitation leads to missed opportunities. In the end, the only one who swallowed the bitter fruit was himself.

Chen Zhun defended with all his strength after the team conceded a goal, but to no avail, the players' spirits were gone.

Fortunately, Southampton entered the intermission with a score of zero to one.

The locker room was silent.Chen Zhun needs to stand up. It takes a lot of courage to admit a mistake by himself. At this time, Chen Zhun needs such courage.He understands that if he does not express his opinion, the head coach will become less and less prestige in the hearts of the players.

It is also impossible for a head coach without prestige to stay in a team for a long time.

"I'm sorry, everyone. In the first half, my tactical command error led to the discard. I admit all the responsibilities. Don't have any psychological burden. Just let go of the kick when you get on the field. Now that things have happened, We have to look forward, there are still 45 minutes of the game, although the situation is difficult, but I hope you play the spirit of the team, for the fans, come on!"

"Come on! Come on!" The players shouted weakly.Chen Zhun felt very embarrassed.

Seeing this situation, Reed hurriedly said loudly, "Aren't you full? Come on!"

The shouts this time were significantly louder than last time. "come on!!"

After all the players went out, Reed patted Chen Zhun on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, take your time!"
