Chapter 105: Warm-up Match (2)

In the match against Southampton, Hydward sent all the players signed so far this season, and the change was jaw-dropping. Mr. Adkins was a little confused.

Formation 442, the goalkeeper is still Dave, the back line is from the right, Mendy; Saul. Campbell; Margery; Daniel, the midfield is made up entirely of a completely new set-up, Mahrez; Canter; Ali; Sadio Mane, forward combination, Icardi Gavardi.

On the bench, Pierce leads, Lawrence, Ryan. Williams, Norris, Schneider, and substitute goalkeeper Jamie Ashtang, who doubles as coach.

Hydward's starting lineup may be bluffing in three years or so, but now it makes the opponent almost have little desire to play, is this a group of baby soldiers?

Campbell has made a name for himself at Tottenham and Arsenal for his strong body and explosive power, and a strong man is still flexible, which is rare on the football field. But as the years passed, when all the things he was once proud of were gone, perhaps only a fighting heart remained with him.

At his peak, Campbell's defense on the top three was impeccable, not only due to his physicality, but also his excellent positioning and control of jump timing. At that time, the Premier League wanted to compete with him only Manchester United's Stam, but Ferguson mistakenly thought that the Dutchman's ability was declining and let him go prematurely, so there was Stam's heroic performance in Lazio, and then it was Terry and Carvalho's BUG center-back partner.

After '04, Campbell's injuries began to increase, and Arsene Wenger began to focus on developing young player Senderos at that time, but until '06 when "Black Bey" decided to leave, he still played steadily in his limited playing time.

Campbell is very confident in one-on-one, has world-class tackles and anticipation, is accurate and ferocious, but rarely fouls, and is a model for many defenders to learn from.

But after the age of 30, his usual style of play was severely tested as his explosiveness and speed declined, and Campbell found that his strong physique was no longer his strength, and he would be easily beaten behind the ball. There is a popular saying about central defenders, one is called pillar central defender, Terry; Campbell, including the departed Haim, belongs to this type, and the other is called the auxiliary central defender, Rio Ferdinand; Nesta; The Margery falls into this category. Many people are accustomed to calling them nannies, dealing with what their teammates missed, what they couldn't catch up, etc., and people who have insight into the overall situation.

In the past, Campbell was a guy who never needed a babysitter, and in Arsenal's peak season, he and Yaya Toure's brother Colo Toure formed a centre-back duo of two physically strong and fast guys.

As he got older, Campbell began to find more of a way to play with his teammates and play more "team", which was the most obvious change, and the stunts he relied on to make famous - running for a distance, jumping up and diving and bombing, have not appeared on the field for a long time. The use of the body became frugal, like the choice Klose made later at Lazio, and the journalist asked Klose, why don't you celebrate the goal with a somersault? The low-key German replied: "I'm going to stay fit and go to the World Cup." Campbell probably did the same, but he wanted to maximize his career.

So he ushered in the second spring of his career in Portsmouth and helped the team win another prestigious trophy after 50 years.

Joining Portsmouth again, "Heibei" is still vaguely the same as it was back then, although he is still accurate, but he rarely tackles, every time he falls, he needs to take a few seconds more than others to get up, he can also fight, he has never stopped training over the years, but the confrontation is more skillful. Thirty-five years old and thirty-eight years old are two completely different years of life, Hydward witnessed Lambert jump high to beat Campbell's header to score, even if the player is not convinced, the coach must keep a cool head, "Heibei" is indeed past the age of being able to play the main team.

Hydward said without any emotion: "He'd be a perfect substitute. ”

The score was now three goals down, and it was only thirty-five minutes later, and the goals were scored five minutes after 30 minutes. Lambert headed home and then took advantage of a mistake by midfielder N'Golo Kante to play to Adam Lallana, who fired home from distance, and a minute later, Southampton were back in action, linking up fluidly in the Portsmouth penalty area, using sixteen passes from the back to the front, four of which were in the opposition box. Margery kept an eye on Adam Lallana, who had just scored, but Lambert, the legendary scorer of the "Saints" team, was unmarked at all, Campbell pressed to the front court when attacking, and now he can't come back at all, and Margery has no doppelganger. In this way, Portsmouth suffered a "Barcelona" style humiliation, and they were passed into the goal.

'I also need to bring in defenders, there is no suitable candidate for the youth team. Walker sighed, rubbing his fingers, which were stiff from the cold. Of course he knows what Heideward means, and if Campbell is in good physical condition, even if he can only play at 30% of his peak level, it is enough to put it in the Championship, not to mention Margery from the side. Speaking of Margery, he was also very abnormal today, he has always avoided confrontations, and this game has also begun to take the initiative to contact the opponent, which is a gratifying change. Because in terms of ability attributes, he is half a season, marking people; Steals; Resolve; teamwork; Concentration and so on are basically a huge increase, and the determination and concentration are as high as 16, which is a level that can be counted in the Premier League. However, there has not been much significant improvement in physical attributes, especially in terms of strength, and it is very likely that many teams will make targeted arrangements for this in the second half of the season, and they have to be guarded, and it is also an area that needs to be improved urgently.

Hydward was writing and drawing with a tactical board, and there were a lot of problems in the team, so he didn't stop writing from the beginning of this game, and Ward's head was not off, saying: "When Frank comes back from Belgium, I'll let him go to Germany, and there's a nice lad there." ”

Walker glanced curiously at the young man next to him, as far as he knew, after he brought in a large number of players younger than him, the media in England had blown up, and even made a copy of "you can't win anything with a group of children", "Hydward actually wants to rely on a group of children to be relegated".

But he was on the manager's side, because the talent of these kids is truly amazing, no, Mane relied on his non-human speed to crush Southampton's defenders and pass the ball into the box, and who knows how the football ended up next to the beryllium king, Icardi scored from a very tight angle, and detonated the Faton Park stadium.

Gifted is a gift from God.
