In the second round of the game, the Premier League giants also defeated their opponents one after another. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info which makes the top few in the standings tied with the same score. Arsenal are in first place for the time being on goal difference.

David Winston glanced at the fixture schedule and will face defending champions Chelsea away in his next game. David Winston doesn't want to face a direct rival so early, but there is nothing to do, the FA's fixture schedule is always such a fuck, either it is all underdogs or all strong teams, and you can be miserable.

But since it's here, you have to face it. The current Chelsea team is not as invincible and fearsome as it was last season. David Winston is also figuring out some ways to beat them in practice.

Time is tight, Southampton are going out tomorrow, David Winston and Hierro have been in the video room today, playing the first two Chelsea games repeatedly.

'You see, David, every Chelsea attack is from both of their flanks, rarely opening gaps from the middle, and midfield playmaker Frank Lampard is always the first to split the ball between the two wings. Therefore, the attacking routine of the Chelsea team is very simple, but because their two wide players are too strong individually and have the ability to kill the game, this problem has not been solved well by each team. Hierro pointed to the sideball area on the screen and described it to David Winston.

David Winston rested his chin on his hand, listened carefully to Hierro's description, then pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think our team has a way to defend these two wide players?" ”

"No problem at all. I have a lot of confidence in our two full-backs. Nicky and Luke are both experienced players with a strong solo defensive ability. And they've had a lot of experience in the Premier League against such wide players and they know how to defend them. But we still need to play the game with a proper zone defense, involving the wide players or the midfielders in the front line, completely cutting off the passing routes of the Chelsea wide players, leaving him in a dead end all the time, so that slowly they will become impatient. ”

David Winston nodded in agreement with Hierro's defensive ideas. But he still had doubts in his mind and continued to ask: "If it is such a defense, it is bound to lose the barrier to the middle." Chelsea midfielders Frank Lampard and Michael Essien are also very individual and if the midfielders are involved in defending on the wings, I fear they will link up with their strikers in the middle and tear them apart. ”

Hierro listened to David Winston explain his thoughts, and also looked at the screen and meditated for a while, seemingly in his mind thinking of a way to deal with it.

After a long time, Hierro finally spoke again, saying: "We are mainly playing in the 4231 formation now, but in fact, the only people in the team who are really involved in the defense are the midfielders and the four defenders. With Chelsea, we were able to surprise and be the first to make changes from the players. ”

David Winston's eyes lit up when he heard what he wanted to hear, and he hoped that Hierro's thoughts would be the same as what he had just thought, and then asked, "How?" ”

"The striker continues to use Dirk Kuyt, who is aggressive, and the idea is to move Yaya Toure forward in the midfield, to the midfielder, because I watched Southampton last season, you used Yaya Toure in the same way, and he did well, which shows that he also has the characteristics of an attacking player, a rare player who can play both offensively and defensively. Yaya Toure may be a little less creative than the other midfielders in the midfield, but his physicality, defence and tackling are just as good as the other players, and these qualities are exactly what we need for this game. The playmaker is still Miguel Arteta. Originally, Yaya Toure's position could be changed to Las Diarra. Although Las Diarraya Toure is short in height, he is also better than Yaya Toure in other aspects, and he is fully qualified for this position. That's how I understand the formation of this game. When Hierro had finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then picked up the water on the table and drank it, and it was evident that he was thirsty.

David Winston couldn't hide his excitement, so he almost hugged Hierro, and it was rare to meet a coach who had the same tactics and player understanding as him, and he was also one of his most admired stars in his previous life.

"I totally agree with you, and I think so too. But I would like to add one more point! David Winston first affirmed Yerod's idea before throwing out his own opinion.

"You say." Hierro had already drunk the entire bottle of water at this time, looking at David Winston with an expression of enjoyment.

This thief has a weird expression! In the confined space, two big men, one man looked at the other man, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"I'd like to talk about controlling the pace of the game. I wanted to give possession directly to the opposition and let them control the tempo of the game, and we were just on the defensive, and when we had the chance, we could use our own defensive counter-attacks to suddenly disrupt their rhythm and hit them with a lethal blow. David Winston also felt a little thirsty and took a few sips of water before continuing: "I watched Chelsea's first two Premier League games and warm-up games, and each time Chelsea had less possession than their opponents, they mostly won the game, but every time they controlled the ball, they became like they couldn't play, either losing the game or being held to a draw by their opponents, with very few wins. This is proof that Chelsea are not good at playing a system of control of the ball. To put it bluntly, their tactics are pretty much the same as mine. But what I'm better than him is that I have more lineup than him. ”

"Throwing the rhythm of the game to the other side seems to be a bad thing, but it is the rhythm that I am familiar with, the perfect confrontation. When you talk about the tactics of controlling football, I have had questions before, and this is what comes to mind. That is how to break the iron bucket formation, if we choose your set of tactics based on transmission and control in the future, then the most restrained tactics is undoubtedly the iron bucket array. ”

"I've thought about this problem, in addition to the familiar passing and tearing up the defense, that is to hope that the players with strong individual ability will tear a hole independently, I haven't come up with other methods for the time being, let's talk about it slowly in the future!"

After David Winston finished speaking, he yawned, and then stretched comfortably, thinking that he and Hierro had thought of a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and couldn't help but be happy. (To be continued.) )
