Chapter 141: The Entanglement of Red and Blue (3)

Dirk Kuyt's shot shot flew towards the goal like a cannonball. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but in this contest, he is not the final winner.

"Wow!! Wonderful save!! Sky Sports special guest Lineker exclaimed.

Yes, the target of this exclamation was Chelsea's Italian substitute goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini.

Dirk Kuyt's shot went straight to the top right corner, and Carlo Cudicini was on his right, and it was undoubtedly the most difficult time for ordinary people to make a save. But he did it this time.

Carlo Cudicini moved to his left in small steps, and when he could save, Dirk Kuyt's ball was already in front of him, and between the lightning and flint, Carlo Cudicini made full use of his lower body strength and waist and abdominal strength to lift himself into the air, and his tall body soared in the air, the ball was like a sparrow, and the Italian eagle certainly did not let go of the prey in front of him, and he saved it from the crossbar.

Dirk Kuyt even wanted to celebrate in advance, but he didn't expect this kick to meet the real "Flying Fairy"!

The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge erupted in applause, Carlo Cudicini got up and patted his gloves to motivate his team-mates, and John Terry walked over and patted him on the head to thank him for the final fix. The fans are very pleased that they have two good goalkeepers in the squad this season.

David Winston didn't feel any surprise at the save, he was well aware of Carlo Cudicini's quality, and it was actually the most normal performance for such a save.

After this small climax, Southampton and Chelsea were locked in a stalemate for a while, David Winston saw the change in the Chelsea team, Jose Mourinho made the change, and he began to focus less on possession and more on the same as Southampton. In this way, for a while, the ball had to fly around in the air alone, sitting on an air flying ball. The scene seems to have come to a very early era, back to the familiar English football.

There was a round of applause just now, and David Winston had already heard some boos. But David Winston has no worries about that, and he hopes that the boos will continue to be kept going, until the final whistle is blown, which will put a lot of pressure on the Chelsea team.

At this time, Jose Mourinho was a little impatient on the sidelines, constantly whistling to the players on the field, signaling them to change their game strategy and stop blindly passing long balls. In a short period of time, Chelsea have been changing their tactics, and perhaps even Jose Mourinho can't figure out how to play such a scene now, and he didn't expect Southampton to be so difficult.

Now, there is still some time before the end of the first half. David Winston looked at the way Chelsea are playing now and felt like he was back to his usual style of play, handing over all his attacking work to two players with particularly individual qualities. But today these two players Joe Cole and Wright-Phillips seem to be stuck in a dead end, and they have been holding their heads to the end, not seeking cooperation, not changing the way they break through, just to prove that they can be saviors and break through this whole line of defense.

David Winston had guessed before the game that the two players would do this, with Joe Cole hailed as England's most talented player at the time, but his injuries and his own characteristics severely constrained his development, with the exception of his first year at West Ham United and Chelsea, the rest of the time could be described as mediocre, and the national team did not reflect the power of the title. Wright-Phillips, on the other hand, is the quintessential English winger. Fast and technically rough, only on the wings to the end, without any flexibility, no matter whether it is the end of the world or thousands of troops ahead, the English winger will definitely move forward and give the opponent the ball. David Winston also combined the characteristics of the two players who started to make a defensive strategy, allowing them to get stuck here again and again.

David Winston was thinking that Jose Mourinho should have noticed the situation on the pitch as well, and that there would be a change in the Chelsea squad in the second half. Now Jose Mourinho is probably thinking about how to turn on the blowing mode in the dressing room. David Winston looked at Jose Mourinho, who was already sitting in the coach's seat next door with a helpless expression, and his heart was full of pride.

"Wright-Phillips is another shot to the sky!! He seems to be keen on shooting and breaking through today!! Look at Didier, he's waving at Wright-Phillips complaining!! He should have done better!! Sky Sports special guest Lineker commented on the situation on the pitch.

'The two Chelsea wingers seemed to have been trying to find a gap by breaking down the wings, but the Southampton backline did a great job today, and the special zone defense made the two of them completely lost, and they didn't have any cooperation during this time, which seriously affected the quality of Chelsea's positional attack and counter-attack. If I were Jose Mourinho, I would have replaced them all in the second half!! Lineker paused for a moment and then continued to speak his opinion.

The Sky Sports commentator also agreed with Lineker's opinion, and also blew a wave of Southampton's game strategy, praising David Winston as an excellent England youth coach today with ideas.

Of course, David Winston is disdainful of such an assessment, because it is all false. In his previous life, he hated this way of being pretentious, but the characteristics of society made it compel. At this point, David Winston found that such cases became rare, but there were some of them.

David Winston saw that Arger Robben had already started to warm up on the sidelines, and this situation has confirmed that David Winston was right in his thinking. Jose Mourinho will certainly react in the second half.

However, he guessed wrong.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Chelsea made a substitution, and it was two people in one substitution. Damion Duff replaces Wright Phillips and Alger Robben replaces Joe Cole. It seems that Jose Mourinho does not want to see anything on the pitch that gets in the way of his eyes for a minute.

David Winston also didn't expect that the feeling of pride in his heart just now turned into admiration, if it were himself, he wouldn't be so radical. (To be continued.) )
