Chapter 232

"There's nothing to mention. Since the boss has introduced you, he must think that you are outstanding... Has he given you a personal training plan?" Prowse asked.

Casemiro nodded.

"That's fine, I have a copy too, which means the boss intends to reuse us." Prowse laughed.

"Not everyone has this kind of personal training plan, and I don't have it." Vardy said with some envy.

"Don't make trouble, didn't the boss say that this kind of training plan is only useful for players under the age of 23. You are getting older, and after the time for improvement, you just need to consolidate your basic skills." Prowse said.

Casemiro wanted to ask something, but there was a commotion in the stands.

"Look, the game has begun! Come on, Southampton, kill the group of Londoners!" Prowse shouted, waving his fists.

Casemiro looked at Prouse and Vardy who were also waving their fists, but he was thinking in his heart that these two players who have already transferred to Leicester City still regard themselves as Southampton psychologically. Players, this is really a surprising thing.

After all, they are now Leicester City players. Although Southampton has a buyback clause, will they really buy them back?

What is the magic of Southampton?In other words, what makes Kiya so recognized?

Such a club seems really interesting.

When Casemiro was thinking, the game had already started.

From the very beginning, the two sides fought in the midfield.

This can also be regarded as the instruction of the coaches of both sides.

Wenger wants to see if his midfield can be organized smoothly, and Ji Ya also wants to see if running can suppress Arsenal's offense.

It turns out—it can be suppressed.

After all, when Southampton started to fight through running, even Barcelona at the time couldn't stand it, let alone Arsenal who copied Barcelona.

The premise of the two full-backs is to go up resolutely, one to one, to mark all the opponent's midfielders to death, and let them pass the attack without any gaps.

As soon as Southampton did this, Arsenal's offense began to feel a little bit crazy.

That kind of all-round suffocation makes people very uncomfortable.

So it took 5 minutes for Arsenal to complete their first shot. Cazorla's long shot was blocked by Chambers with his body. After taking the ball, Fonte quickly passed it to Klein on the right. Southampton Ton started to fight back.

The Arsenal players ran back like a tidal wave. Southampton's offense was quite fast. Klein made a direct pass to William in front of him. William dribbled the ball forward and then made a direct pass at a 45-degree angle. Benteke accelerated Sprinting, throwing off Koscielny's marking, flying towards the falling ball and shoveling!

Fortunately, this shovel shot by Benteke was not strong, and Szczesny pressed the ball under him.

Ji Ya shook his head, while Wenger frowned, realizing that something seemed wrong.

Arsenal continued to attack, and Southampton's pressing was still fierce, but they have been in a good state recently, and they still slowly created some opportunities. Podolski retreated to get the ball, and then passed it to Cazorla. Cazor A straight pass to Chamberlain, Chamberlain forced a breakthrough and passed to the middle, Walcott, who was plugged in at high speed, planned to outflank the back point, Chambers made up in time and blocked Walcott's shot with his body!

After blocking the shot, Chambers quickly got up and poked the ball to Klein who was responding from the wing. Klein took the ball forward and then quickly passed it to Schneiderlin. Schneiderlin moved to the front in a wide range. On the field, Benteke took off and ferried the ball down. After receiving the ball, Ronaldo took the ball forward. After shaking continuously, he suddenly took a long shot and the ball went above the crossbar.

"Strange, why did Southampton play so fast? Could it be that they want to play defensive counterattack instead?" Wenger thought in his heart.

Ji Ya's tactics are really defensive counterattacks.

The opponent's ball-holding offensive rhythm is relatively slow. In fact, it relies on a large number of interspersed runs in the frontcourt to tear the defense line. After Southampton pressed the ball, they immediately launched a fast break when they had the opportunity-these two fast breaks were because they never It doesn't appear to be too much of a threat if it is launched from the backcourt. What if the midfielder or even the frontcourt steals the ball and quickly launches an attack?

That threat is much greater!

Although Wenger noticed it, he didn't intend to make any changes.

One is that Wenger is relatively weak in commanding the field, and the other is that Arsenal's recent tactics are very effective, and the players are in good condition. Changing tactics easily will lead to problems.

Under such considerations, he certainly didn't want to change his tactics.

Ever since, the next game will be carried out with Arsenal's constant possession of the ball and Southampton's constant counterattacks.

Southampton's counterattack is very sharp, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, there is no set rule, when Luke Shaw is on the field, their attack on the left side becomes sharper, no matter which side it is, take There is no small threat after the ball.

And Arsenal's offense can also create some opportunities in the continuous interspersed running, but in the case of Chambers running around to intercept, it has not been able to create a real threat.

This also made Wenger notice Chambers-such a young and outstanding local defender, and he became the main force of Southampton when he was ordered in a critical situation. Such a performance is worth observing.

The two sides were in a stalemate on the field for No. 30 minutes. Southampton finally scored the first goal through the frontcourt pressing!

Podolski was very active in this game. In fact, he was not a winger standing in front. He had a wide range of activities, so he frequently retreated to get the ball, and then created opportunities for Chamberlain and Walcott on the two wings.

This style of play created a lot of threats, but it also buried hidden dangers.

When he retreated to the midfield to get the ball again, he was pressed fiercely by Matuidi.

Under such pressure, Podolski couldn't hold the ball a little bit. He hurriedly passed the ball back, but was grabbed by Drinkwater and intercepted the ball halfway!

After stealing the ball midway, Drinkwater began to advance at high speed. His forward thrust was quite timely, and Arsenal's defense line was a little messed up immediately. Wilshere wanted to come up to press, but he rushed over directly. After attracting enough attention, Drinkwater passed the ball across.

Schneiderlin, who followed up, made a slight adjustment, and then resolutely shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area!

The ball roared and flew towards the far corner of the goal. Although Szczesny made a save, he was still a step behind!

"Damn it!"

When the Southampton fans cheered loudly, Wenger stood up a little annoyed. He originally thought that the three Southampton strikers were the main force in the counterattack, but in the process just now, all of them were completed by the midfielder. , the strikers are running and involved, leaving enough space for the midfield!

"Arsenal's midfielder has sufficient technical content, and their running is actually not bad, but under such circumstances, their ability to return to defense is still much worse..." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.
