Chapter 111: Red and White Lightning (Part 1)

Although Southampton had a lot of noise in the box in the first half, it was normal, you can't prevent every chance of attacking from a strong team, but the strong team can't convert a chance into a goal and that's your luck. Chen Zhun is now a little grateful to Van Persie for not scoring, but if Southampton's defense is still like this, then it will be a matter of time before he scores.www.biquge.info

Chen Zhun also repeatedly told the players at halftime to strengthen the harassment of running without the ball, and not allow the Arsenal team to pass the ball around easily, so that his players would be more tired.

At the beginning of the second half, neither team made any substitutions, and they were also waiting for the opponent to make adjustments first, and then see the move themselves.

At the start of the second half, I don't know if Arsenal used all their strength in the first half, they did not adopt pressing tactics, but followed the rhythm of the Southampton team and defended with peace of mind. At this time, Chen Zhun was a little confused, and vaguely felt that there must be fraud in this.

Loudly telling the defenders from the sidelines not to press forward to prevent Thierry Henry and Van Persie from having chances against offside. Although the Southampton team temporarily occupies the initiative on the field, it is only on the periphery of Arsenal's penalty area and frequently falls to the feet, and there is no chance to attack deep into the hinterland of Arsenal.

Chen Zhun only realized at this time that Wenger had done enough to target all aspects before the game, but he was far from it. Although he knows Arsenal's style of play and the characteristics of the players, there is no relative targeting tactics, it seems that Chen Zhun rarely makes targeted tactics before every game, not that he doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't know how to start at all, which is Chen Zhun's biggest drawback. A manager's awareness.

The game has slowly come to the fifteen minutes of the second half, a watershed in physical fitness. Arsene Wenger's reason for letting Arsenal defend first was to wait for the moment. The most important test of the frontcourt pressing tactics under high pressure is the physical condition, which often leads to the team's physical exhaustion and inability to run in the second half of the game. This is the case with the current Southampton team, but in fact, the physical condition of the Southampton team has not been effectively solved.

With Southampton's fitness declining, Arsenal's battle time was imminent, and Arsenal finally tore off the veil of camouflage and began their favourite style of attacking play, which was like a return to the first half.

Chen had no choice but to try to fend off Arsenal's attack by making substitutions, and he replaced Kuba, Arteta, who had seriously lost fitness, and replaced Glen Charles and Delap. Chen Zhun replaced the former in the hope of impacting speed, and replaced the latter in order to defend. But just as Chen Zhun just replaced the two, Arsenal scored.

Arsenal were still looking for opportunities from the wings, Pire was unstoppable after getting past Luke Young, and Frei, who was driven straight into the attack, was unrelenting and gently pushed down the middle, where Thierry Henry fired into the empty net.

Holding on to the gate for sixty-five minutes ended with the loss. Frey sat on the lawn in frustration, and the Southampton players who were standing were also disappointed with their faces written all over their faces.

A casual offensive opportunity, after passing a person, there are defensive loopholes everywhere, the central defenders are not close to people, the back waist lacks the awareness of helping to defend, and a series of new and old problems are instantly piled up in front of Chen Zhun's eyes, as if they can never be solved.

Chen Zhun looked at the Arsenal players hugging each other on the field, looked at Wenger who smiled knowingly on the sidelines, and saw the disappointed Saints fans in the stands, but he once again felt powerless, Chen Zhun didn't know how many times he felt such a feeling, as if he had counted too many.

Even so, Chen Zhun still spared no effort to applaud, signaling that the players performed very well and continued such a tactical game, but he knew in his heart that the team would not be able to pass this hurdle after all, and the hurdle of a strong team might really be his overestimation of the team's strength, which led to the current situation. But there is no if, no maybe, what happens is what happens.

Chen Zhun made the last substitution after Arsenal's goal, replacing Kanoute with Crouch, and the tactics also changed to a simple and rough long pass rushing and hanging play.

Unintentionally inserted willows, this style of play somewhat suppressed the Arsenal team, because Crouch's height advantage made Arsenal's two central defenders miserable, which greatly slowed down the pace of Arsenal's attack and gave Southampton a rare respite. Chen Zhun lamented that he was too late to make a substitution, and now there are fifteen minutes left before the end of the game.

In the 80th minute of the game, Southampton successfully prevented a wave of attacks from Arsenal and held the ball at his feet. But Lescott's long pass was not accurate, past Crouch, straight behind Crouch, such a situation Sendros and Sigan no one expected, Sigan watched the ball pass his waist, but he was restrained by his clumsy body, when he turned around hard, he felt a red and white lightning floating around him, the speed was unimaginable.

At this time, thunderous cheers erupted in the stadium, it was Glen Shire!

Glen Shire, who has been cruising the Arsenal back line, has finally seized his chance!

He wasn't offside! He's got the ball, he's driven in!

Glen Charles has finally waited for such an opportunity! Don't sit on a cold bench! Don't substitute! I want to start!

Glen Charles quickly dribbled the ball, faced the attacking goalkeeper Lehmann, shot lightly, did not wait for the ball to enter the net, and then ran to the stands to celebrate with the fans!

He did it! It was his first goal for Southampton!

He proved himself! He's still him!

His name was cheered from the stands! Again! Again! Again!

Yepes Glen Charl!

Chen Zhun couldn't suppress his emotions anymore when he saw this goal, and ran excitedly along the fan stands, regardless of his punishment! Ignore his warnings! Lao Tzu is to celebrate! The stands erupted in prolonged applause and cheers.

In the final game, it also relied on Glen Schal's spelled goal to successfully draw the Arsenal team, which also widened the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea to 12 points, and the hope of defending the title became more and more slim. (To be continued.) )
