Chapter 834 The Trouble of Young Players

"Welcome to the new Wembley Stadium! There will be a Community Shield match between Southampton and Manchester City! Southampton won the treble last season, so their opponent becomes the league runner-up Manchester City …I have to say that it is a pity not to see some players in such a game! Southampton’s England international and Belgium international De Bruyne have not returned to the team for a long time, and they will definitely not be able to play. Manchester City We are also facing such a problem, and it is difficult for the main right back Walker to get a chance to play! But the impact of Manchester City is smaller after all!"

"Now let's look at the starting lineup of both sides... Southampton played a four-three-three line-up, goalkeeper Mendy, the two full-backs are Cancelo and Peters, the center back is De Ligt and Rudiger. Partner, the new midfielder Rodri is at the back, and in front of him are Valverde and McAllister, who also joined this season! Forwards Alvarez, Vardy and Sancho... Southampton has indeed been affected Influenced by the World Cup, the three they sent in the midfield are even the only three who can play! Although there are still six England internationals and De Bruyne on the bench, their chances of playing are still very small! Manchester City Also sent a four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Bravo, right back Danilo, left back Mendy, center backs are partnered by Laporte and Otamendi, and midfielder Fernandinho drags behind , surrounded by teenagers Foden and Bernardo Silva, two wingers Sane and the newly joined Mahrez, center Aguero! Compared with Southampton, Manchester City has much more room for choice !"

Amidst the chanting of the commentator, players from both sides had already appeared on the field, and Kiya was shaking hands with Guardiola.

"The five main players can't play, so it's a bit stretched to use troops." Guardiola said.

"Fortunately, just to test the level of the new aid." Ji Ya laughed.

Guardiola nodded, he also thought so.

Unlike the Mahrez he introduced, the Algerian has been in the Premier League for several seasons and can be plugged and played. However, the two midfielders introduced by Southampton are all imported from abroad. Good performance, still a problem.

And Rodri is a mature player after all, and McAllister is a young player, so how can he perform well if he rushes the ducks to the shelves?

Ji Ya actually knew about this problem, so when he sent McAllister on the field, Qicai told him to play well without any psychological counseling, even if he performed poorly, it was not his fault.

But it's clear that wheat has a big heart.

After the start of the game, facing the pressure of the Manchester City midfielder, the Southampton midfielder was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

After all, Manchester City's midfielder is not their strongest midfielder. Gundogan is not there. Although Foden is very talented, he is still young after all, two years younger than McAllister. Young people, no one is afraid.

However, Southampton's lineup is still a little bit worse in terms of tacit cooperation.

Although Manchester City has also sent newcomers, Fudeng was in Manchester City's first team last season, and there is no tacit understanding problem.

Southampton's midfield has this problem.

Rodri's performance is actually very eye-catching. This tall midfielder is a bit similar to Butzkes, but his technique and confrontation are better, the frequency is faster, and he is more comprehensive.

He keeps taking the ball and splitting the ball in the midfield, sorting out the midfield, and at the same time, he is not bad at fighting and running when defending.

McAllister's performance also brought some surprises to the Southampton fans. The youngster did not have stage fright, but ran all over the field, constantly creating opportunities through his own possession and passing of the ball. His The ability to carry the ball is not very good, but the ability to play the ball and find teammates in time is still displayed. Such a player may not be able to become the core, but it is a good additive. In a strong midfielder, he can play a role. The role of icing on the cake.

Don't underestimate the role of the icing on the cake. Sometimes whether a midfielder can suppress the opponent depends on whether there is such a icing on the cake.

Although their individual performances could not conceal their unfamiliarity with other players, it did let Southampton fans see their strength, and their confidence in Ji Ya's signings has reached a new level.

Manchester City took the lead in scoring in the first half. Teenager Foden sent a beautiful through ball. Aguero took the ball around the top of the penalty area and turned around. Before De Ligt came up to block, he suddenly kicked and shot , the ball flew into the goal against the far post. Although Mendy made a save, he was still a step behind.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack, but their offense was affected a lot. The midfielder lacked forward passing. Although Rodri tried to control the midfielder, it was difficult to form an effective cooperation.

"A tacit understanding needs to be established for a long time, not to mention that the two top players, De Bruyne and Du Yue, are not there. Southampton's offense is really struggling."

Many commentators have commented this way, but everyone knows this. The inability of superstars like Du Yue and De Bruyne to play is a big blow to any team.

However, Sancho's continuous breakthroughs and balls on the wing brought some vitality to Southampton.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City led [-]-[-], and shortly after the second half began, Aguero broke into the penalty area after receiving a through ball from the B seat, took advantage of the opportunity to shoot, scored twice, and expanded the score to [-]-[-].

The Southampton fans sighed in the stands.

Ji Ya shook his head, and then made a substitution, replacing Vardy with Vinicius...

In this way, Southampton's trident in the frontcourt became three zeros.

Vinicius born in 00, Sancho born in 00, Alvarez born in 00!

The midfield tactics have also changed.

Ji Ya told them to pass the ball directly to the three players in the frontcourt and let them toss it.

Such a tactic is obviously a bit nonsensical, but with the personal ability and dexterity of the three young Southampton players, it has brought quite good results!

In the following time, they kept taking the ball and making breakthroughs, and for a while, Manchester City's defense line was also frequently deflated.

After all, after Kompany retired, Manchester City's line of defense is also a painful period!

"These boys are really talented." Ji Ya looked at the field with satisfaction.

He didn't care much about the result of this game. After all, they had already won the six championships once, and it didn't matter if they didn't win the next one. It was even more important for these young players to show their strength on the court. One important thing!
