Away dressing room at Aston Villa Club's Villa Park Stadium. Chen Zhun is still using the last time to make the final targeted deployment to the players.

"David, and John, you have to use the wide range of runs and ferocious scrambling to limit the Aston Villa midfielders, especially Hitzelsperger's long-range shots. Anders, when the ball is passed to you, you can make long passes, you have to play the speed of the counterattack, Peter, you have to do a good role in the transition of the header in front, and give Kevin a good ball. Kevin, when Peter's offense is fruitless, you have to do the first line of defense up front and disrupt their passing speed. Also, defenders should be wary of Vassell's pace and Kerr's headers, don't let them hit the ball behind them, and try to squeeze them into wide crosses. Chen Zhun felt a little incoherent as he spoke, but the team members could still understand what he meant and nodded their heads one after another.

"Alright, guys, it's time for the world to get to know us again. Show your strength and leave the Villa Stadium speechless. Have faith? Chen Zhun raised his voice to inspire her subordinates.

"Yes!!" The Southampton players shouted in unison. These team members have been with Chen Zhun for just two weeks, from strangeness at the beginning to familiarity now. The players also slowly adapted to Chen Zhun's personality and Chen Zhun's tactical play. This Chen Zhun, who has no frame with them in life, is like a brother, meticulous in training, and takes every player seriously, and they like the new coach more and more.

This is the first game of the new season for Aston Villa FC, and the 47,288-seat Villa Park Stadium is around 80% of the attendance today. In these hordes of Aston Villa fans, you can see scattered visitors Southampton fans gathered in the East Stand of the visiting fans.

In the tunnel of the players, referee Reney led the players of both sides into the turf of the pitch. As soon as the captains of both sides chose sides, the tense game began. At this time, Chen Zhun's figure appeared on the big screen in the stadium, to be exact, Winston's figure. Chen Zhun in the picture did not show a nervous look, but was a little relaxed and talking to the assistant coach Reed next to him.

3 p.m. Rennie blew the whistle for the start of the first half. Chen Zhun also lost his relaxed expression before the game, and stood on the sidelines watching the game.

Once the game began, Southampton and Aston Villa had no intention of attacking, and the two teams were playing each other in a tentative game, and the game was a little dull. Southampton's airtight defensive positioning made Aston Villa's passes useless time and time again. The first shot on goal came in the 10th minute when Aston Villa's midfielder 'Hammer' Hitzelsperger fired a long-range shot from near the line of the box against Johan Delap's defence, but Hitzelsperger's left-footed shot missed the ball and went over the crossbar.

Chen Zhun was very dissatisfied when he saw Hitzelsperger's shot, Chen Zhun pointed to his temple on the sidelines, shouting loudly to signal the midfielders to concentrate and not let Hitzelsperger have any chance to get up. Chen Zhun turned out to be in the Premier League and Bundesliga games, but he had seen Hitzelsperger's violent left-footed long-range goal. But what Chen Zhun didn't expect was that the German warrior with a tenacious style on the court and full of physical strength announced that he was coming out of the closet at the age of 14. When Chen Zhun saw the news at that time, he was also shocked for a while.

Chen Zhun's mind returned to the game again, and now the first half of the game has been played for 20 minutes. Chen Zhun's mood was also relieved a lot by the nervousness at the beginning of the scene with the passage of time.

The game came to the 25th minute, Aston Villa organized an attack in front, Hitzelsperger distributed the ball to Barry on the right wing, Barry got rid of the defense of Southampton left-back Le Sox, a cross into the box, Vassell's run attracted two Southampton defenders in the box, resulting in no player next to Carlton Cole defending, Carlton Cole easily grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack, the ball flew towards the right post. Just as Carlton Kerr wanted to celebrate, the ball hit the right post unbiasedly and bounced back into the field, which was disrupted by Kevin Phillips on the back line. The Aston Villa fans in the stadium let out a cry of regret.

Chen Zhun was fortunate to have escaped, and thought that he would still pay attention to strengthening defensive training in future training.

Another minute and second passed, and five minutes passed. The situation on the pitch is now in Southampton's hands, with Svensson, the heart of Southampton's midfield, taking the ball around the centre circle and keeping Delap at a reasonable distance from him on his right. He was surrounded by three Aston Villa players, but none of those three players stepped forward to press Svensson. Delap's position also restrained Svensson's marking to a certain extent. It also gives Svensson plenty of time to look up and take his next move. Svensson saw Kevin Phillips up front running off the ball as he would normally practice and looking in Anderson's direction. Svensson seized the opportunity and immediately fired a long ball to find Crouch, who had withdrawn to Aston Villa's penalty line four or five metres behind Kevin Phillips.

This is a tactical routine that Chen Zhun specially practiced during training before the game. When Svensson has a chance to play the ball down the middle, Delap needs to protect and respond around Svensson to prevent opposition players from pressing. The two wing-backs in front of Svensson will then have to run forward to divert the opposing wide players who are defending them, giving Svensson more space to pass the ball. And the fulcrum of the forward line Crouch is going to wander near the big penalty line, that is, to use the deterrent power of his height to force one of the opponent's central defenders to follow Crouch out of his own penalty area. At this point, Kevin Phillips, who had been lying in ambush behind Crouch, could take advantage of his excellent movement and the gaps left by the opposition centre-backs to find a shot and finally complete the fatal blow.

Svensson's long ball came out and Crouch and Aston Villa's centre-back Melberg and midfielder McCann scramble for the ball. The Aston Villa players were so captivated by the high ball that they completely forgot about Kevin Phillips in the shadows. In the end, Crouch took advantage of his unique height to head the ball in the direction of Kevin Phillips, who was cut in on the right side of the penalty area. Kevin Phillips had already found the ball in the Aston Villa penalty area, with Aston Villa left-back Samuel behind him in the midst of a struggling chase. When Kevin Phillips got on the ball, the rest of Aston Villa's defenders raised their hands to the linesman to signal that Kevin Phillips was offside. But what the linesman just saw was clear, when Crouch pushed the ball out and Kevin Phillips started, it was Kevin Phillips' left-back Samuel who dragged behind the defence and caused the offside failure.

Chen Zhun on the sidelines also saw Kevin Phillips successfully enter the Aston Villa penalty area in an offside position, and watched the changes in the Aston Villa penalty area with full attention.
