Chapter 858 There Are Many Factors

From the very beginning of the game, Chelsea really looked very positive.

They actively press in the midfield and want to disrupt Southampton's organizational offense, but they do have such abilities. Kanter's running and defensive abilities are top-notch. Jorginho, as a Brazilian player from Serie A , This aspect is not bad, and the same is true for Barkley.

The steel strangulation in the midfield is also a tradition of Chelsea.

So Sarri's tactical arrangement is actually in line with the characteristics of Chelsea players.

Under such a press, Southampton patiently stepped backwards in the midfield, avoiding the opponent's spirit and looking for opportunities at the same time.

Chelsea's defense has always been difficult to break through, but after they press up, some of their flaws will be exposed.

This flaw is none other than the former Southampton player Alonso.

Alonso has played very well at Chelsea in the past two seasons. As a three-four-three wing position, he has fully demonstrated his excellent assist ability and strongly supported Chelsea's offense on the left.

However, Ji Ya is very clear that he is indeed more suitable for the wing position. In the left-back position of the traditional back four, he actually performed averagely.

When Ji Ya used him before, he also arranged for a strong midfielder to wipe his ass, so as not to expose his flaws.

And now Sarri's tactics are offensive tactics. Under such circumstances, his flaws will be exposed very seriously.

The flaw is that he is not good at defense, and his speed is slow.

In the wing position, he can make up for his lack of speed by rushing up and down. After all, he has a lot of stamina, and he can run up and down continuously.

If he fails to return to the defense in time, there will be full-backs and defensive midfielders to help him fill the position.

But now, without a full-back, relying on the midfielder alone, it is impossible to make up for him.

Ji Ya's deployment of Sancho in this game is aimed at him.

Although Sancho is young, his speed and agility are not comparable to Alonso!

And Chelsea pressed and attacked, and also left enough space in the backcourt.

Sancho, Alvarez and Du Yue, the three fast and flexible forwards, will make Chelsea's defense suffer.

In the 10th minute of the game, Southampton completed a beautiful counterattack.

Du Yue retreated to take the ball, and after receiving a pass from his teammate, he began to dribble forward.

The running of him and Alvarez attracted the attention of the opponent's two central defenders. At this time, Du Yue raised his foot and passed the ball straight to Chelsea's penalty area!

Sancho rushed directly from the right to the middle, and began to plug in at high speed!

Alonso also started to defend from the wing, and he ran desperately, which prevented him from being thrown away by Sancho.

When Sancho took the ball, he had already stopped in front of Sancho.

However, when Sancho received the ball, he flicked the ball to the outside with his right foot.

Alonso, who ran back desperately, followed him subconsciously and moved towards the outside.

Then Sancho pulled the ball back, changed direction and cut into the middle!

Alonso, who had been running out of breath since just now, could no longer change his defensive focus immediately, and could only watch Sancho cut past him!

Sancho, who made a breakthrough, faced Kepa who was attacking. He didn't care whether the opponent was the world's most valuable goalkeeper or not, he kicked decisively and shot into the far corner!

Kepa fell to the ground a step slower, and the ball quickly flew into Chelsea's gate!

Cheers erupted from the stands.

Sancho started to run on the field with open arms. Last season, he started to play a little more steadily. A dozen appearances, four assists and one goal, and this season he obviously started to get more appearances.

In the position of the right midfielder, after Valverde and him are poisoned by competition, Valverde is more comprehensive and more stable, and he has faster speed and breakthrough ability, so their chances of playing should be similar, not There is too much difference.

This kind of competition is of course good for young players. It can save them from excessive anxiety, but they won't feel any slack.

Taking the lead early, the Southampton fans shouted excitedly. They had outstanding performances against two strong teams in a row. The Southampton they are familiar with is finally back.

"Let me just say, how could our team fail suddenly! It's just a technical adjustment!" A fan in the stands laughed and said to his friend.

Friends nodded again and again.

The Chelsea players looked depressedly at the celebrating Southampton players. They hadn't lost before this season. Could it be that they will lose to Southampton in the first game?

Sarri started waving his arms on the sidelines, letting the players continue to press on the offense-under such circumstances, the only way to attack is to attack!

Chelsea's players rallied and started their attack after the re-kick-off.

They do have a very good offensive player.

Hazard is at his peak. This Belgian attacker can break through, score and assist. Honest wingers, when they attack, the effect is always very good.

Otherwise, players like Morata and Pedro would not be suppressed on the bench and there would be no chance.

After constantly pressing on the attack, Chelsea finally equalized the score in the No.30 minute. After a series of passes, Jorginho passed a pass to Giroud, Giroud passed the ball to Hazard, and Hazard received the ball. After shaking the ball continuously, he got rid of Cancelo's defense and cut into the penalty area, and shot decisively!

Mendy couldn't make a save, the ball flew into the Southampton gate, one to one draw, Chelsea's number one star helped them equalize the score!

"Chelsea equalized the score! Hazard's shot is quite exciting! But Mendy's performance is also a bit mediocre. After he was righted this season, although he didn't make any big mistakes, he conceded a lot of goals. He can save a lot of balls. Going out, but he seems a little helpless for some tricky shots... If you want to be Southampton's main goalkeeper, you just don't make many mistakes." A commentator commented.

Mendy got up from the lawn depressed. Last season, his performance in rotation has been very good. This also made him think that playing in the Premier League and the Champions League should not be a big problem. I know, there may not be much difference on the technical level, but in terms of mental pressure, it is really not the same level.

You have to adapt yourself again.

So in fact Southampton did not start this season very well. There are still many factors. In addition to the impact of the World Cup and the integration of new players, Southampton's main goalkeeper has changed. It is also a huge change. Everyone needs Re-adapt.

Ji Ya also sees this, but he still has confidence in Mendy.

This is a goalkeeper who has seen it through and he will stick to it.
