Chapter 629: Easy Victory

"Two to Zero!!! Pretty!!!! ”

'Inside shot from Eden Hazard!! The left and right sides of Manchester City are completely open!! Two almost identical goals, only in the opposite direction of the attack!! Both Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann were able to disrupt Southampton's defence with their individual prowess, while City also made the most of the individual qualities of both wingers!! ”

Rentkinson applauded City's attack, while his partner Redknapp applauded City's attack.

"Coach Gao Bo's tactics in this game are completely designed around two wingers, feint on one side, and after the defense is attracted, immediately transfer, on the other side is the real killer move!"

"And for this kind of attack, Southampton are really unstoppable, because if they don't focus on the defense, the feint side will become the real attacking side!"

"Coach Gao Bo has been in office for more than a month, and this is not the peak state of his team. I'm now looking forward to what kind of strong team Manchester City will be when they really mature and mature! ”

"Worthy of the European champion coach!!"

The commentators praised Gao Bo's tactical arrangement, and sometimes, simple is the most effective.

In the stands, Manchester City's fans were already singing.

The melody of "Blue Moon" was sung over the Etihad Stadium.

Gobo was relieved to see the second goal come to his side, and he didn't think Southampton would be able to score two goals in the next time and keep City out of the net.

After celebrating his goal, Gao Bo turned and sat back in the dugout.

And the next game is as he expected, Southampton basically has no chances, even if Manchester City takes the initiative to slow down the tempo, Southampton will be difficult to snatch control of the game.

With two goals in hand, City's players are in full swing.

The first half passed quickly, and as soon as the forty-five minutes passed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At halftime, Gao Bo ignored Balotelli who was sitting in the corner of the dressing room, if the game was lost, this Balotelli was undoubtedly the culprit, but fortunately, the team's strength was strong enough, and he scored two goals in the first half to help the team basically lock up the game.

Gao Bo praised his team's performance in the first half, and for the second half, he asked his team to push in the early stages, score as many goals as possible, and then feel comfortable dropping back to play on the counter-attack.

With Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann up front, City's counter-attacking kicks are just as powerful.

On the Southampton side, Atkins is boosting the morale of the Southampton players.

If Manchester City hadn't been sent off, maybe Atkins would have resigned themselves to their fate, anyway, the away game against Manchester City was not the planned game to get points, Southampton want to be relegated, and they can't expect to get points from these league title teams, and the mutual record between the relegation teams is the most important.

But now City have one man to play, which is a great opportunity for Southampton. Atkins didn't want to pass up the opportunity.

In the second half, Atkins showed his determination!

Before the players from both sides were back on the pitch, Southampton were about to make a substitution, with Southampton's centre-forward Lambert standing on the sidelines.

Gao Bo was still a little emotional when he saw Lambert.

When he was in charge of Luton Town, he also wanted Lambert because he knew then that the player who played in the first division was more than capable of establishing himself in the Premier League in the future.

However, the striker, who relies on height, strength and headers, and relies on impact to establish himself in the Premier League, obviously does not meet the requirements of the big clubs, but in some low-level teams with a simple and rough style of play, Lambert's characteristics can be used.

'Southampton were ready to make a substitution at the start of the second half and Atkins looked hard to accept being beaten by an early man with an extra man!'

Letkinson said with a smile.

'But two goals behind, Southampton is very unlikely to come back, Hazard and Griezmann's pressure on the defence is too strong, Southampton will be difficult to prevent one of them, let alone both on the pitch at the same time. Redknapp said, shaking his head.

He is an insider, so he naturally knows that the two most important fists in Manchester City now are Hazard and Griezmann, and when these two fists are fought alone, maybe Southampton can still parry, but when these two fists are used together, Southampton can only take care of one or the other.

As it turned out, even the introduction of a high striker did not produce much success in Southampton's attack.

Manchester City's defence is very well organized, which is the characteristic of Gobo's team, Southampton is difficult to pass the ball to the front through the organization of the back and midfield, so they take a very simple and crude method - long passes directly from the back!

The effect of the long ball rush was naturally not ideal, and they also had to face a counter-attack after Manchester City broke the ball.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Hazard counter-attacked and drove straight in, smashing the ball off the post when he faced the goalkeeper and almost scored a brace.

However, the Atkins and Southampton fans were not yet able to breathe a sigh of relief, and here Griezmann had another chance to counter-attack.

Antoine Griezmann opted for a volley against the goalkeeper, but this time Southampton goalkeeper Davies did a great job as he reached out and tucked the ball over the crossbar.

Southampton's fans had just relaxed a little before the next corner left them completely dead.

Eriksen's corner kick from the right flank is headed high by Kolarov in the box!

Kompany in the middle was a key player for Southampton, but it was Eriksen who sent it to the back post.

Kolarov nodded the ball back, and this time Davis had nothing to do.

The soccer ball was smashed into the goal!

Manchester City took a three-0 lead.

After taking the lead again, Gao Bo immediately made substitution adjustments.

He brought James Milner on the pitch and replaced Eden Hazard.

Maintain the defensive intensity in midfield and leave Antoine Griezmann in front.

Eden Hazard was not unhappy with being substituted, as he also knew that the team was playing one less player and that keeping the win was the most important thing anyway.

Southampton didn't get much of a chance for the rest of the game.

The final result was 3-0 and Manchester City won the first round of the Premier League season.
