Chapter 341 The two major settings are all in place

Manchester City's main lineup is actually quite good in terms of strength. Whether it is midfield, defense, or striker, there are excellent players, and the cooperation between them is also very tacit.

Especially after adding Fernandinho to the defensive midfielder position, they finally have a top-level and easy-to-use player in this position. In the past, whether it was Joey Button or Gareth Barry, they were all worse What.

Now, Yaya Toure can finally be completely liberated. He doesn't have to spend too much energy and physical energy on defense, but more on offense.

However, this lineup is not without flaws.

First of all, the frontcourt offense is a bit soft. Although Dzeko is a high center forward, he is a technical center forward. Under such circumstances, their performance is prone to problems. If they are confronted by a strong defense line, it will be difficult to score. Chance.

In this game, Ji Ya used Bailey to make the position of central defender stronger. Bailey's speed and confrontation are excellent, that is, he is young and inexperienced, but that can be made up for by running and confrontation.

Originally, Bailey didn't play many games this season, but he got the chance to start in such an important situation, which is enough to make him feel excited.

Another problem is on the defensive line. Kompany has always been a reliable central defender, but he has never had a reliable partner. Demichelis was a big colander at his peak. Now he is older and more stable. But the momentum and confrontation have declined. Such a central defender can still obtain a stable main position in Manchester City. Indeed, it can only be said that Manchester City has not been very good at signing in the central defender position.

When playing against Manchester City before, Ji Ya liked to take advantage of Lescott's defect, but now, Demichelis is also a good defect.

After the start of the game, Manchester City began to hold the ball in the midfield to launch an attack, while Southampton launched a running press in the midfield to speed up the pace of the game.

This surprised Pellegrini. What he was most worried about was that Southampton would continue to use the tactics they played against Barcelona in the last away game, and it was very reasonable to use this tactic. But there is a lack of teams with high center forwards attacking the defense. Even Barcelona can resist, let alone Manchester City.

So he sent Dzeko in this game, just thinking about using his height to create opportunities. Although he is not a strong center, his height and header skills are good anyway.

As a result, Southampton did not use this effective tactic. Instead, they began to restore their previous offensive tactics. Isn't this giving Manchester City a chance?

Southampton pressed the midfielder, and Manchester City's offense naturally accelerated.

Press quickly through midfield and then attack.

Yaya Toure quickly passed the ball to Navas on the right. Navas was about to attack slowly, but was immediately entangled by Luke Shaw.

Compared with Luke Shaw, although Navas is quite a bit older, he is not as good in confrontation and reaction. If it weren't for his good skills at his feet, he might be easily intercepted by the opponent.

So he could only quickly pass to Zabaleta who was assisting forward. Zabaleta did not stop the ball too much, but directly kicked the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Dzeko, who pulled out of the penalty area, stopped the ball and was about to turn around when Bailey rushed up from behind. Although Bailey was only 19 years old, he was 1.8 meters tall and weighed more than 80 kilograms. As soon as he posted it from the back, Dzeko immediately felt a huge force...

I muttered in my heart that the young people are so fierce now. Dzeko controlled the ball safely, and then passed it to Nasri who came up to meet him. Nasri passed it to David Silva on the left. Silva took the ball horizontally. The ball, under the defense of Klein, still took a shot. The ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal. Navas flew to make a save and narrowly saved the ball with one hand.

Seeing that the ball was controlled by Wundt, the Manchester City players did not press in the frontcourt. Southampton's counterattack was too sharp. If the frontcourt was delayed, there might be problems in the backcourt.

Seeing that Manchester City's players began to return to defense, Southampton did not launch an attack slowly, but passed through the midfield relatively safely, and then quickly launched an attack!

Mkhitaryan received a pass from De Bruyne in the middle. Lukaku and Suarez moved in the penalty area. He immediately made a long-range shot. Fernandinho rushed up from the side and prepared to use his body Blocking his long-range shot, Mkhitaryan raised his foot and passed the ball diagonally to Coutinho on the left side of the front of the penalty area...

All Manchester City fans who are familiar with Southampton's offense immediately went dark.

Coutinho didn't play many games this year, but he scored five goals, all of which were long-range shots in this area. This area can be called Coutinho's area!

And this time, it was no exception.

After making some adjustments, Coutinho bent his bow and took an arrow, raised his right foot, and volleyed vigorously!

Coutinho shoots from distance in an area he knows well, and the target is still Hart...

Such a long shot can't make it, I'm sorry for these two settings!

Whether it's Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow or Hart's kick, they all perfectly fit the current offense!

Hart jumped up, his reaction was already fast, and he stretched his arms as much as possible in the air, but the ball still flew past his hand, and then plunged into the junction of the goal post and the crossbar!

Beautiful world waves!

"The goal is scored! Coutinho! What a wonderful world wave! Ji Ya replaced Ronaldo's starting lineup with him in this game, instead of the previous main substitute Nolito, and quickly showed his value! This The long shot from the foot was wonderful, Hart was so unlucky, and his save was impeccable, but he came across an even more impeccable long shot!"

After scoring the goal, Coutinho ran out with open arms. Although he is a substitute after joining Southampton this season, he can play comfortably as long as he plays. Ji Ya will arrange the best environment for him and make him the best The place where it is fully played out...

This is much more comfortable than playing at Inter Milan!

Sometimes it's a lot easier to play in a good team.

Pellegrini shook his head and smiled wryly. What can he do when he encounters such a world wave?

I can only blame my bad luck.

But next, we just launch an attack. Since it is an open confrontation, our total number of goals is about the same as yours. In the confrontation, can we still beat us?

Pellegrini, who thinks this way, ignores one point. This loss of the ball is not a matter of luck, but a series of tactical arrangements and arrangements to achieve this effect.

Since Ji Ya can use counterattack tactics, of course he is very confident in the effect!
