Southampton and Southampton manager David Winston didn't seem to have anything to do with Arsenal's possession of the ball, which was a hundred times more skilled than them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 This is also where David Winston hopes to learn from the hope that in the near future his Southampton side will be able to dominate the world with the same possession-based play as Arsenal or Barcelona.

Back to the game. Fifteen minutes have passed in the first half of the game, during which Southampton has been completely behind the Arsenal team, and is completely pressed by the Arsenal team in their own half for defensive training, and the life of the game is completely unable to take care of itself. The players of the Southampton team, as well as their head coach David Winston, and of course the fans at St Mary's Stadium did not expect this, but they did not panic at all, in the face of such a situation, the Southampton team will play more methodically, after all, the Southampton team in the David Winston era relied on this defensive counterattack to become a family, famous, and now it is just a housekeeping skill that has not appeared at home for a long time, and it is unveiled in front of everyone.

The twentieth minute of the first half. It is still the Arsenal team that occupies the absolute initiative on the field. Arsenal's young midfielder, Francisco Fabregas, calmly controlled the ball in midfield, then watched the forward line run and tease out the possibility of passing. But he found that although his team had the initiative on the field, this initiative did not translate into anything substantial, such as goals, such as Southampton's red and yellow cards, just watching the possession far ahead of Southampton, and most of the shots were from distance, and there were very few shots that really threatened Southampton's goal. The result was all due to Southampton's good backline and multiple protections in and out of the box, with the exception of David Villa who kept Arsenal's two centre-backs out of attack, and the rest of Southampton's players were involved in the defence. And Southampton's defensive system is so tight that Arsenal's attack can't get into Southampton's box at all.

Francisco Fabregas passed the ball to Mathieu Flamini, who had been picking up next to him, and the interesting thing about this brother is that in his career, when he went from his current team to another team on a free transfer, he was worth zero euros and his career transfer fee was zero, without any transfer fees. This is also quite strange in European football and even world football. Back inside the game.

Mathieu Flamini saw that there was no chance to play the ball in front of him, so he had to distribute the ball to the players on the wing, Robert Pire received a pass from his fellow countryman Mathieu Flamini, but there was no good chance to break through, Southampton's defensive system is very flexible, when Robert Pire gets the ball, the defensive pressure on the side will follow, and this season under the continuous training of Uruguayan physical coach Ortega, All of Southampton's first-team players have been given a full range of fitness, which has allowed them to play a strong run and compete in the Premier League, and this sustainable fitness reserve will allow them to burst into more impressive ability and fitness than their opponents in the closing stages of the game.

Robert Pire, seeing that there was also no chance, had to pass the ball back to Francisco Fabregas, who was standing in the midfield and watching, and Francisco Fabregas had no choice but to rub the ball up and hoist it into the box. But this kind of offensive play can't break through the Southampton team's ironclad defensive system, this lob was easily grabbed by Luis Pereira, he also used a header to clear the Southampton team's penalty area, and this clearance is very directive, he saw his teammate David Silva's running position before clearing the ball, so this header clearance also pointed there, in order to let David Silva receive this clearance ball, and start the Southampton team's counterattack horn.

The ball fluttered to the feet of David Silva, who and the Southampton players have been building up their fitness because they have been defending in the first half, and although the defense also consumes a lot of energy, they have good energy reserves, so that they can still charge when attacking. When David Silva got the ball, he saw two wide players, Frank Ribery and Franmikyl Smitchell, start to run forward, and David Villa was constantly running back and forth under the protection of Arsenal's two centre-backs, in order to confuse the Arsenal backline players and make it impossible for them to estimate the movement of their teammates. Because the Arsenal players are attacking outside the Southampton team's penalty area, David Silva basically did not encounter the Arsenal players chasing and intercepting when he led the players to counterattack, because the Arsenal players were desperately chasing behind David Silva, but found how David Silva ran so fast, and ran faster and faster, as if he could never catch up. Seeing David Silva trotting all the way through half-time, Southampton made one of the few first-half advances to Arsenal's half.

David Silva came to the long-lost Arsenal half with the ball, and sure enough, the scenery here was much better than the scenery in his own half, David Silva did not continue to dribble the ball, but a long-distance pass immediately passed forward to Frank Ribery, who was galloping on the vast grassland, Frank Ribery was empty in front of him, and he had formed an absolute one-shot opportunity.

David Winston watched the counterattack go on intently, and unconsciously stood up and walked to the coach's command area to look at this wonderful moment that was about to become a goal, and he also felt a galloping horse in his heart, and involuntarily shouted in his heart: "Run!" Juvenile!! Fight up!! ”

Frank Ribery received the ball and faced the defence of centre-back Philippe Sylvain Sendros, and after stepping on four bikes in a row, Philippe Sylvain Sendros reached out and was ready to steal the ball at Frank Ribery's feet. (To be continued.) )
