Football Giants

Surrounded by the crowded stands, the green turf became the stage of the concert.

Lin Yoona sang this single [Callmemaybe] in front of the public for the first time under the background of a group of dancers.

The time was specially arranged before the whistle of the game. At this time, the live broadcast of the TV station had already begun, so her entire concert was broadcast live by the TV station and presented to all the fans around the world waiting in front of the TV.

Choreographer Lee Joo Sun from South Korea personally tailored the dance for Lin Yoona, making her look dynamic and energetic.

And this brisk song with a playful style is also very ear-catching, especially the chorus part, simple but very pleasant, catchy, and it is easy to leave a very deep impression.

Especially when Lin Yoona sang the most part, the superb sound effects on the scene made many fans who like music in the stands stand up and twist their bodies to match the melody and rhythm.

When this song was finished, the entire St. Mary's Stadium suddenly rang out with cheers for the first time since tonight.

"The on-site effect is very good!" Terry Matthews, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, was also infected by music and his emotions were ignited.

Yang Huan smiled silently.

Of course it is!

Since the last time Uncle Bird performed [Gangnam Style] live here, he has rebuilt the acoustics of St. Mary's Stadium, and Lin Yuna and the dancers have been practicing secretly here for several days.

Judging from the reaction of the fans at the scene, this song is still very contagious.

After Lin Yuner finished singing and left the field, the players of the two teams walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee team.

A burst of extremely warm applause and cheers broke out on the scene again.

As soon as the players of the two teams entered the court, they lined up in front of the player aisle.

At this time, everyone realized that Southampton's starting lineup was completely different from usual.

"Changes?" Mayor Carol Connie was a little surprised and lost his voice.

Changes before the big game, this is a taboo, the risk is too great.

If it succeeds, it is a legend, if it fails, it will pay the worst price.

Yang Huan knows very well that Bielsa will stick to the way of offensive football. Although he does not know what will happen in this game, in any case, he believes Bielsa and the players of Southampton.

"The team has practiced secretly for a period of time. Bielsa must have been prepared. After all, we met Chelsea. Playing according to the usual routines must be a loss. They have studied us thoroughly, so they can only change. Array."

Yang Huan's explanation is specious and reasonable, and it is difficult to object.

Carol Connie and Terry Matthews are not professionals, and after listening, they both nodded.

But Charlene Laheri, who was sitting in the front row of Yang Huan, frowned when she heard it. Turning back, she looked at Yang Huan with concern, her charming little mouth moved, as if she was asking, really Is that right?

Yang Huan nodded without hesitation, it was indeed the case!

Chelsea's starting lineup is not unexpected.

The goalkeeper is Cech, and the back line is Ashley Cole, David Louis, Terry and Bosingwa.

The midfielder took a diamond position, with Mikel behind, Essien and Lampard in the middle, and Anelka hit the midfielder.

This set of tactics has been rehearsed once in the middle of the week. Anelka performed very prominently in that game and Chelsea defeated the opponent almost effortlessly.

The double forwards are indeed Drogba and Torres.

This set of starting lineups did not surprise Bielsa, and it is not difficult to see that before the key battle, Ancelotti still believed in the principle of prudence, and there were no major changes and adjustments in personnel.

But Southampton has made bold changes.

The biggest change is that in addition to the two main central defenders, Benatia and Varane, there is also a Portuguese veteran Jose Vonte in the starting lineup.

The veteran did not perform very well at the beginning of the season. The main position was replaced by Benatia and Varane. Later, he was only able to play in some unimportant games or when the main force was absent due to injury. .

But now, Bielsa has arranged for Benatia, Varane and Jose Wundt to start at the same time.

But at the same time, the two full-backs who performed very well this season, David Alaba and right back Carvajal also started at the same time, which surprised everyone.

Bielsa wants to play five guards? Adopt shrinking defensive tactics?

In the midfield, the three Southampton midfielders also started at the same time, Stromman, Vidal and Schneiderlin who were behind.

The start of these three players will also strengthen the hardness of the Southampton midfielder.

There are five players in the defense, three players in the midfield, and two players in the frontcourt.

Ibrahimović and Chamberlain, who has performed well this season.

Although the captain Adam Lallana returned from injury at the last minute, Bielsa still did not place him on the starting list.

52 tactics?

This is an iconic defensive counterattack!

"It can be seen that even if Bielsa, who regards the offense as his life, has to compromise and adopt a more secure tactic when he encounters Chelsea, the top Premier League team."

The TV commentator analyzed Southampton's starting lineup.

"But we also have to see a hidden danger, that is, Ibrahimovic is obviously not suitable for this defensive counterattack tactics. The farther he is from the goal, the less the threat, since it is to play defense. Fight back, why not go to Barnard?"

Barnard is a backup forward for Southampton and has played many times on the bench this season, and his performance is not bad.

But as the game started, everyone gradually changed their pre-match views.

Southampton did use five guards, but it didn't mean that the Saints would shrink the defense.

Among the five defenders, three central defenders were dragged in the end, three-on-two, limiting the double forwards of Drogba and Torres.

The two full-backs stood farther forward, even daring forward.

In just twenty seconds of the opening, David Alaba on the left had an oblique pass from the left and found Vidal, who was on the midfield.

After the Chilean got the ball, Chelsea's back midfielder Mikel dropped to the ground.

The Nigerian received a yellow card just twenty seconds after the opening.

David Alaba and Vidal's cross-pass cooperation won the cheers of more than 30,000 fans on the scene.

"Mickel's shovel was too random. Vidal is still 30 meters away from the goal. The threat is not great, and Terry is back behind him. It shouldn't be." The on-site commentator analyzed the situation.

But soon, still in this position.

Chamberlain pulled to the left and cooperated with David Alaba before passing it to Vidal.

The Chilean quickly rushed forward and shot directly with his leg more than 20 meters away from the goal.

The ball rose slightly above the crossbar, but it made people startled in a cold sweat.

"This toe is too hard!" The on-site commentator also had to change his words.

Within 30 meters, given Vidal a chance, he can score a goal with a long shot.

Two consecutive offensives played momentum and threats, and Southampton continued to increase its offensive investment.

Two full-backs are actively moving on the wing, and three midfielders, Stromman and Vidal take turns, especially Vidal, who has a strong forward penetration, and Schneiderlin is more likely to drag behind and stare. Live in Anelka.

Frontcourt Chamberlain actively pulled to the two sides to meet.

This makes Southampton's entire offense seem to have little investment, but the effect is very good and very threatening.

Southampton insists on head-to-head, offensive against offensive, and Chelsea is also not a bonehead.

The overall strength of Ancelotti's team is also very strong, gradually controlling the situation of the game.

Anelka took the ball in the frontcourt and wanted to break into the penalty area, but was tackled by Schneiderlin and Benatia.

But after that, Essien passed the ball, and Drogba shot his leg in front of the penalty area, slightly wide of the bottom line.

After Lampard picked a pass to the left of the penalty area, left back Ashley Cole quickly inserted and stopped the ball.

Benatia beat Torres with a header in the penalty area to make a clearance, Anelka inserted and a long shot from outside the penalty area hit Schneiderlin. The French midfielder had to be temporarily removed from the field. Rescue, but the game will continue soon.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides directly entered a hand-to-hand battle with the bayonet and the blood.

Without the slightest temptation, without the slightest disguise, it was just a real sword and a gun.

Southampton is not as sophisticated and stable as Chelsea in terms of controlling the situation, but it does not give much relief to threats.

The two sides played fast-paced battles between you and me. The situation of the game was also one after another, one after another, so that all the fans who came to the scene were very addicted to it, and at the same time, their hearts were also lifted high.

In such a game, who knows who will win?

Yang Huan was fascinated by the game from the beginning, the pace was too fast.

To paraphrase watching a movie, there is no peeing point during the whole process.

Although he has full confidence in the team, he is also very nervous, unreliable, and frightened to see.

He is like this, let alone the people around him.

Mayor Carol Connio and Sheriff Terry Matthews are also very excited, especially the latter, the veteran Saints fans, from time to time are excited to stand up from their seats and shout. call.

The fans of the Saints in the Southampton Chairman’s stand, as well as the Southampton political and business celebrities, are also frightened and can always hear the screams, just like watching a horror movie in a cinema.

Although Yang Huan is not a professional, but after watching football for so many years, he can understand the game more or less.

Bielsa's tactics are head-to-head.

The back three central defenders limited Chelsea's double forwards. There seemed to be only three midfielders, but there were actually four.

As long as Chelsea takes the ball, Chamberlain has been pestering Mickel, Schneiderlin always delays and restricts Anelka, Stroman and Vidal are relatively free and have a larger area of ​​activity, but they basically face it. Essien and Lampard.

Chelsea’s two wings, Ashley Cole is very active, Carvajal’s side is under a lot of pressure, mainly defending, but Bosingwa is relatively average, and the attacking force is not strong, so David ? Alaba can actively create threats forward.

The midfield is restricted one-on-one, and the two sides become the key.

Chelsea adopts a four-back style, with the full-back position behind.

What's worse is that Chelsea's two forwards and striker Anelka basically do not move.

This makes Chelsea's wing only rely on two trailing full-backs to take the ball forward.

But Southampton, because Chelsea does not have regular wingers, so the full-backs are pushed forward, focusing on the two full-backs guarding Chelsea.

Therefore, in the contest between full-backs and full-backs, the right side was basically the same. Carvajal was basically able to defend against Ashley Cole, but he was not able to participate in the attack.

But David Alaba has the advantage over Bosingwa, Southampton.

The Austrian often takes the ball in Chelsea's half and can create a threat as soon as he takes the ball.

Bosingwa also took the ball in his own half, but to create a threat, he had to take the ball to the Southampton half.

This has formed Southampton's advantage in local areas.

So on the surface, Chelsea control the game, but it is difficult to organize an effective attack.

Southampton seems passive, but in fact it is constantly creating threats.

"The situation of the game is very clear now!"

After the on-site commentator watched the fast-paced game for 20 to 30 minutes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com also had a good understanding of the formation of both sides.

"Southampton’s biggest advantage is on the wing, especially on the left side of David Alaba. The weakness is on the front line. It is difficult for Ibrahimovic to seize the opportunity alone in front. David Luiz and Terry’s combination is very strong."

"Chelsea's advantage lies in the double striker and the lack of threatening interaction between Drogba and Torres. If they can use their personal abilities to break through the limits of three defenders, then Chelsea has a chance!"

Speaking of this, the on-site commentator is looking forward to it.

"Both sides have advantages and disadvantages. It depends on who can convert their advantages into goals as soon as possible."

The on-site commentator was talking, and the interaction between Drogba and Torres came.

"Drogba steals the ball, Schneiderlin lost the ball at the front of the penalty area..."

"Southampton is dangerous!"

"Look for Torres, pass in..." ()
