Southampton faced two more League One teams in the space of a week, and both were victorious without suspense, and also trained the ability and tactical proficiency of the young players, laying a solid foundation for Southampton's opening game of the new season.

Southampton's first opponent, Manchester City, are away from home. Manchester City's transfer market this season has also blossomed more, from Barcelona to the iron waist Roshenbach, and from Portsmouth to buy a young striker Yakubu, to solve the problem of the back line and forward line. It can be described as a strong soldier. But their opponents, Southampton, are much stronger and David Winston now has to ponder over the starting line-up because there are so many players to choose from, which is blissful and unbeatable to last season's stretch.

With two days to go before the first game of the new season, David Winston's side will depart for Manchester City today to prepare for their first game. David Winston watched the familiar scenery fly by in front of him in the car, but his mind was on the other side, yes, the lineup. Now that every player in the squad is in good shape, it seems that whoever starts has become logical, but there are only eleven people in the starting lineup, how to choose, which makes David Winston a headache.

Hierro, who was sitting next to him, saw David Winston like this and asked, "David, what's wrong?" Is it for the starting lineup? ”

David Winston, who was originally pensive, heard Hierro's inquiry, turned his head and said, "Indeed, my brain is too messy now, tell me what you think!" ”

"From the previous warm-up game, the team's current set of pass-based, off-ball running and player coordination tactics did not reflect much power on the field, and it is obvious that the players have not yet reached a full level of proficiency in this set of tactics on the field, so it is not good news in the really high-intensity Premier League. Opposite. We've had a lot of success on the pitch with the counter-attacking tactics that you did last season. It wasn't very nice on the field, but it was able to win. Now that's what matters. On the basis of victory, it is practical to look for beautiful football. ”

At this time, a ray of sunlight outside the window shone on David Winston's heart, and Hierro's words also entered his heart through this light, making David Winston suddenly brightened.

During this build-up period, he seemed to be obsessed with Barcelona's tactics, completely forgetting what tactics led him to a small glory last season.

"Thank you so much. My friend. I'm a fan of the authorities right now. Haha" David Winston finally unraveled the fog in his mind, always thinking that it was a matter of player selection. In fact, it has long deviated from the direction of thinking.

Hierro smiled. "It's my job. ”

After the team safely resisted Manchester City, there was no rest, and went directly to the stadium for pre-match training, after all, it was the first game, and the competitive state of each team was not adjusted to the best state, so now whoever can enter the game faster will be able to better control the game and win.

In the first game, the team did not arrive with the team, which gave the Southampton players a lot of relief, especially the newcomers.

David Winston watched the players on the field go into the team game in full swing. Watching the new captain Alan Shearer still leave no stone unturned in running and scrambling. He knew Alan Shearer was leading by example, sending a signal to the young players in the squad that whoever it is on the pitch needs to work hard and not once and for all. David Winston bought them in the first place because of this, and they need the experience of the veteran players to help them grow quickly, and obviously both Alan Shearer and Roberto Ayala have played a good role model in this regard. David Winston was pleased.

At the pre-game press conference, a reporter asked David Winston such a question.

"What do you think of Jinyuan football."

Obviously, the current Southampton team has also been listed in the first team with Chelsea by the English media.

Here's how David Winston answered:

"For Jinyuan football, he does not reject or approve of it. He doesn't think too much about this kind of club business model, because he is just a coach, not the owner and decision-maker of the club. ”

David Winston was pleased with such an ambiguous answer. Although in his previous life, he hated Jinyuan Football to the core, and once did not hesitate to be a keyboard warrior to scold the ghostwriters of Jinyuan Football, but he also became a part of it, life is really ridiculous, so don't spray it easily.

There are obviously a lot more press conferences in the new season than before, and they may have been accumulated from the success of last season. The familiar Taylor brothers, David Winston didn't see it, didn't know where it was now, and suddenly missed him a little because he was the only journalist he didn't hate.

This is the final game of the Premier League fixture, and the top teams in the first round of the Premier League have made a good start and are now sitting on the bench to see how Southampton perform.

David Winston listened to Hierro's thoughts, and finally said that the lineup was set to last season's 4231, and the tactics were also last season's defensive counterattacks.

Goalkeeper Sebastian Frei, the back four are Nicky Shorey, Roberto Ayala, Luis Pereira and Luke Young. The midfielders were Miguel Arteta and Yaya Toure in the second half of last season, while the midfielders were brought in by the newly arrived David Silva. Adam Lallana on the left wing, Dirk Kuyt on the right, and David Villa as the lone striker.

Every player in this squad has the ability to defend and has a strong sense of counter-attacking. This is what David Winston is most satisfied with.

David Winston watched as the pitch shouted higher and higher, only that the shouts were all in support of Manchester City, and the shouts of the Saints fans were completely drowned out. However, he is confident that he will be able to hold back the wave and win the way. Today he deliberately waited next to the players' tunnel, high-fived the starters who came out one by one, and shouted cheers. He hopes to use such a simple and clear way to arouse the players' desire to win after a long silence.

It's a new season, so start with a win!

David Winston looked at the court with an extra hint of anticipation and triumph in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
