Neil McCann takes a free kick and the Southampton players in the box start to move.First, Chris Baird blocked Distin, who was used by Manchester City to defend Beatty, with his body. Beatty walked around Baird and ran towards the ball. Other Manchester City players did not have time to defend. Beatty.On the other side, David Prutton delayed the other central defender Dunne to defend Beatty's route.Beatty ran to where he expected the ball to land.The ball arrives! !Beatty leaped high, but Dunn was a step too late after all, and watched Beatty head the ball into the goal before he had time to jump up! !After scoring the goal, Beatty excitedly ran to the stands to embrace and celebrate with the fans.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" The tide-like cheers from St. Mary's Stadium shook the sky.

In the 10th minute of the game, Southampton opened the scoring with a set kick.

Chen Zhun and Reid on the sidelines hugged each other tightly, Chen Zhun said that he took back what he just said.For the first time, Reid's set-piece tactics paid off.This free kick tactic is nothing more than two pick-and-rolls and one attack. It can be regarded as borrowing some of the essence of the NBA's pick-and-roll tactics. This is also a relatively common set-piece tactic.

After seeing the goal, the Southampton fans began to sing the team song in unison, while the faces of the Manchester City fans in the visiting team stands were full of disappointment.Also disappointed is Keegan. Since the start of the game, Manchester City has a record of two wins, one draw and four losses. After winning the last round of the league against Tottenham and Barnsley in the League Cup, Keegan temporarily retained his position. , Keegan hopes to use consecutive victories to completely get rid of the crisis of confidence in him from the club's top management.But today he seems to see no hope in this stadium.

After taking the lead, the Southampton players played more freely and smoothly on the court. This is their familiar rhythm. Manchester City did not appear too dull because of losing the ball, and they were also dealing with Southampton.The left midfielder Sun Jihai was not affected by that fall, and he still played his role on the field.Seeing the young Sun Jihai, Chen Zhun thought of the performance of the nearly 40-year-old Sun Jihai in the Chinese Super League. He made a long pass from the backcourt and accurately found the forward in the frontcourt.As time goes by, the footwork remains the same, which may be the embodiment of those who are known as the golden generation of Chinese football.Time is fortunate to make them No.1 in history, and time is unfortunate to make them the beginning of the end.Chen Zhun sighed at the thought of this. Now that he has transmigrated and became a British, he can only see if he can buy a Chinese player in the future and make some contributions to his motherland.After all, the Chinese market is huge, which is also a good business opportunity for the club.But Chen Zhun thought for a long time but couldn't think of a player he liked.

Halfway through the first half, the score remained at 1-0.Taking advantage of the stable situation, Chen Zhun hurriedly sat down on his seat for a rest. Since he became the head coach, he has stood up more often than sitting down. He obviously feels that his legs are getting thinner and longer. The traits are evident.

After scoring a goal, the game began to show a stable state. Both teams were thunderous and rainy, and there were very few opportunities to really threaten the opponent's goal.Kevin Keegan became the busiest man on the pitch, furious for Manchester City's easy loss of the ball, and making forward pressing gestures when Manchester City attacked.But Southampton at this time is not Southampton at that time. Southampton's defense has become very tacit and more indestructible after two months of competition.Manchester City's midfielder does not have a core who can pass through balls for the frontcourt players, and Southampton used special tactics to strangle Wright Phillips, the only winger that Kevin Keegan relied on.This led to Anelka being isolated and helpless in the frontcourt and rarely getting a pass. Now Manchester City is empty with Anelka, the top scorer in the top scorer list, but it is useless.On the field, Anelka became Manchester City's burden at this time. When attacking, he just stayed in the penalty area and waited for his teammates to pass the ball. When defending, he was basically seen wandering in the front court.Like chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to discard.Everyone must be aware of Anelka's glorious deeds. He is a famous European transfer king and a famous stabbing head.His total net worth was once as high as 1.317 million euros, ranking second only to Ronaldo.He also once insulted the French coach Domenech and was expelled from the French Football Federation.

Attention returned to the field, Anelka just pulled back to the penalty area line and fired a long shot, high and wide.Wright-Phillips on the right was very dissatisfied with Anelka's random shot. He walked up to Anelka and seemed to be talking to him about it.Chen Zhun saw the excited expressions of Anelka and Wright-Phillips, presumably both of them were insisting on their views.The two said a few words and then parted ways.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Zhun became more determined that the victory of this game has been won, and there are already disharmonious factors in the Manchester City team. Such a team will not go very far.

The game continued, and Manchester City, which had a single offensive method, still couldn't find any solution. Kevin Keegan had to order the team to continue to give Wright-Phillips the ball, so that he could find opportunities for breakthroughs, but after countless times of falling to the ground and being cut off The confidence of Wright-Phillips has long since disappeared without a trace.

Wright-Phillips had the ball again, again facing the familiar left-back Le Saux.Wright-Phillips tries to pedal his bike out of Le Saux's defensive position.But when Wright-Phillips was thinking about the movements, the movements under his feet couldn't keep up with the movements reflected in his brain. In addition, he lacked confidence, so when he stepped on the bicycle for the first time, he couldn't stand firmly and wobbled. fell down.The red ocean in the St. Mary's Stadium suddenly burst into laughter. It is really hard to see that the former king of the Premier League has such an embarrassing moment.When Kevin Keegan saw such a scene, he felt helpless and powerless.

When Wright-Phillips stood up, Le Saux had already taken advantage of the fatal mistake of Wright-Phillips and quickly launched a counterattack. Too much dribbling, passing to Delap in the middle, Delap saw Lallana on the right in neutral, Sun Jihai, who was defending him, was still chasing hard from behind, because of Wright-Phillips' mistake, the frontcourt The players had to turn back and run back to defend before they had time to react.Lallana got the ball comfortably, and he was facing Satcher, who had been sieved by him in today's game.With an emergency stop and change of direction, Lallana swayed past the staggering Satcher, ready to break into the penalty area!
