At this time, Southampton was a team that was clearly stronger in attack than in defense, and compared to Portsmouth's youth guards in front and midfield, the Saints were actually a little stronger in terms of age and strength. Their weak point was in the back line, and to compensate for that, Mr Atkins promoted left-back Luke from the youth team in the second half of the season. Shaw, in just one month he has gradually become a regular player, you can't deny his talent, in England youth world he is known as the next Gareth. Bel.

At this time, Bale was very popular at Tottenham, and Harry was a meritorious manager at Portsmouth. Under Redknapp, he was transformed into a Messi, Ronaldo-like figure, not just to play Giggs-style wide fast horse, this kind of front-court free man play completely activated the potential of the Great Sage, maybe it is only a matter of time before he goes to the top giants.

However, for Portsmouth, a mere Luke Shaw will not improve the weakness of the overall back line, and it just so happens that Southampton also thinks the same, and a single Margery will not improve the weakness of the overall defence of the Pompeo Army.

Mr Atkins has thoroughly studied his opponents before the game, and in the last four games, Margery has averaged 2.7 interceptions, 3.4 tackles and 7.6 clearances per game, while making just 0.3 turnovers, and he has averaged an excellent rating of 7.6 per game despite the overall slump in the team, which is one of the top three in the entire Championship. Margery was also a shortlist for the Player of the Month award for January, but was denied the trophy due to the team's results.

Rudiger and Mustafi have been nothing short of satisfying compared to the consistently strong performances of the captains in recent games, with Rudiger contributing a superb 94.4 per cent success rate with his headers while averaging a terrible 2.3 turnovers per game. His physique means he doesn't suffer against most centre-forwards, while Rudiger's ability to turn quickly makes it difficult to get behind a speedy striker, although he isn't particularly confident in getting away from the ball. The frequency of this big man is always on the slow side, and Meunier has the same problem, so he is not a centre-back who can carry the ball and is particularly afraid of pressing. Another defender, Mustafi, was the complete opposite, with a 93 per cent pass completion rate, but his tackles and interceptions were pitifully low, leaving huge gaps behind him with blind tackles. To be a good ball-playing centre-back is not only to be able to pass the ball, but also to be able to dribble forward. While they dribble away from the harassment of the opposing forwards, they also need to properly impact the opponent's midfield line, disrupt the opponent's formation, and create more opportunities for their teammates up front. Mustafi's desire to move forward is particularly strong, and this is his habit of playing, but it seems to be very bad at the moment, with only 12 successful dribbles after 20 attempts, a success rate of just 60 per cent.

Ricky. Lambert follows the manager's instructions to press as soon as Rudiger gets the ball, and this tactic of pressuring the opposition centre-backs often needs to be combined with the team's overall high-pressing strategy, otherwise it doesn't make any sense. So Southampton's overall defence was elevated, leaving a huge gap behind them.

After Rudiger won the ball, Lambert, who was very close to him, quickly stretched out his long leg to break the ball, and the German boy's eyes were shaken, but he quickly regained his composure, as if he could see the manager on the sidelines smiling at him. Rudiger lowered his center of gravity and his strong body took the initiative to seek contact, and his weight of 0.087 tons was eager to sit directly on top of him.

Lambert let out a scream and his technical movements were badly deformed, and at this moment, Rudiger turned in style and held the ball firmly in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of both Margery and Kante rapidly approaching him, and he was even less flustered, raising his long arms against Lambert's chest, and smiling like a fool.

Martin Taylor admitted: "It was a clever choice to make the most of his body to protect the ball and avoid pressing the opposition, and it seems that Rudiger is not as good as he says on social media but a header. ”

Edward nodded frequently on the sidelines, turned his head and said to Walker: "It seems that it is not only Kante who has improved, but Rudiger is losing seven pounds, so that his body will be stronger and he will turn faster." ”

Walker didn't react, but stayed away from Hydward, looking like he didn't want to talk to you.

Why have they made such progress, what have you done as a manager? Walker complained inwardly.

The circle of people on the bench was far away from the winning coach, and they had to subconsciously avoid his gaze when they were swept away by Hydeward.

However, it is a pity that the commentators did not find any interesting anomalies on the sidelines.

On the other side, Mr. Atkins couldn't make a plan and made another plan, and he let the team recover slightly, and at the same time had a good deal with Dean. Hammond winked. On the pitch Deler. Ali has been a dynamite keg for Portsmouth, look at his damn red and yellow cards and suspensions, no young man has the character of a jerk like him.

Hammond received the order and began to spray trash talk, of course, he didn't do any homework, spewing trash talk is not nutritious, at most two swear words or your mother calling you home for dinner or something.

The expression on Ali's face tightened, and Hammond was overjoyed, there is a play, Lao Tie!

He thought to himself, come and assault me, Coming!!

But after a few seconds, Ali's expression relaxed again, and a few words came out of his cold face: "Play well, this trick is useless to me." ”

He was relieved!

Hammond looked confused, why didn't he follow the script???

Deller. Ali's eyes stared viciously at the manager's smiling face, and his mind was reminded of an afternoon training session two days ago...

…………………

…………………

Hydward drove a small blue car, saying that he had just bought it from the used car market for the players to use.

Exhausted from the day's training, Edward gave the keys to the car to Rudiger, who had been criticized for his worst performance, and confiscated his original car keys.

It's a blue, tattered, pre-owned, second-hand, 20-year-old, scrapped-back, Reliant Robin car with only three wheels! Whoever performs the worst that day will have to drive him home! So when the teammates drove the new luxury car out of the gate of the training base, the unlucky guy drove this special "turtle car" behind everyone slowly.

Mendy also got a loudspeaker from the equipment room and installed it on the three-wheeled car, which was designed to play the cries of farm livestock. The first victim, Rudiger, drove home the tattered car with the sound of pigs, cows and sheep, and drove him back the next day. I don't believe in friendship anymore.

Deller. Ali really wanted to go, and Hydward said that as long as he was red for a malicious foul, the car would have to be driven for three days. Ali, who had just had a good impression of the head coach these days, was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, coach, I don't want to be friends with you anymore!
