At noon on September 25th, fans had already arrived from far and wide to prepare for the start of the game. The bus carrying the Southampton players also drove to the designated place on the stadium at this time, and Chen Zhun was the first to come out. Southampton fans around the aisle waved red and white jerseys and asked Chen for autographs. Chen Zhun has long been used to such a scene, and he began to patiently sign and take photos for the fans. Chen Zhun knew that this was also a key move to leave a good impression on the fans, and Chen Zhun didn't dare to be sloppy.

Chen Zhun was given the starting line-up of the Fulham team after the pre-match press conference the day before, and in addition to head coach Chris Coleman, Chen Zhun is most familiar with goalkeeper Dutchman Edwin van der Sar. Chen Zhun also remembers that Van der Sar was signed to Old Trafford by the old man Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2005. Chen Junn wants to settle this deal this winter, and if this transfer is completed, it will be a big boost for Southampton's backline.

Chen Zhun's memories also go back to the years that belonged to Van der Sar. In 2005, Old Trafford welcomed goalkeeper Dutchman Edwin van der Sar. Van der Sar also started a legend that belonged to Manchester United. From 2005 to 2011, Van der Sar contributed so much to Manchester United that he successfully alleviated the goalkeeper crisis that United have been unable to solve since Schmeichel's retirement. Van der Sar moved to Manchester United at the age of 34, and many questioned that his competitive form was not guaranteed, but it took him six years to prove to the world that he is not old. once set a British record by keeping 14 consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League; In the Champions League final against Chelsea, Van der Sar saved Nicolas Anelka's penalty with one hand on the goal line to seal the European Cup. These classic memories have been echoing in Chen Zhun's mind. Chen Zhun only hopes that Van der Sar can be mediocre in this game and let Southampton win the game.

Another one that Chen Zhun is very familiar with is Fulham coach Chris Coleman. Coleman's final career as a player was with Fulham. After retiring as a player, he became the head coach of Fulham. Chen Zhun has known the young coach since Euro 2016 in France. He led the Welsh team to a historic breakthrough. Before Chen Zhun crossed, Wales successfully broke through in the group of death and broke into the round of 16, which made the world look at this Welsh team with admiration. Chris Coleman's tactical strategy has also been unanimously affirmed by football people. What Chen Zhun didn't know was that Wales finally broke into the semi-finals, creating a real dark horse character.

Chen Zhun was a little different in his starting line-up today, and this difference also attracted media attention, with young teenager Adam Lallana replacing Frenchman Fabrice Fernandes as a right wing-back. This also caught Fulham's manager Coleman off guard, who knew nothing about the young player, his football characteristics, his football habits, nothing about it. This can be regarded as the killer feature of Chen Zhun's game today.

After the start of the game, Southampton played a very active game and played a pressing attack on the field. This is what Chen Zhun emphasized before the game. Chen Zhun believes that the Premier League has been played for six rounds, and the technical and tactical play of each team is already well understood. Other teams have already understood Southampton's tactics, and they know that Chen Zhun's team is defensive, using quick counter-attacks to score. However, Chen Zhun changed his tactical thinking, and at the beginning of the game, he did not blindly look for his own rhythm, but went against the grain, pressing the opponent within his own half, and perhaps caught off guard and achieved unexpected results.

Judging from the current situation on the field, Chen Zhun's tactics have indeed worked, Southampton's pressing style of play makes Fulham's players very uncomfortable, this is not the Southampton that manager Coleman said. They patiently controlled the ball in Fulham's half, played a half-court offensive and defensive drill, counter-attacked immediately after losing the ball, and then regained control of the ball and continued the half-time drill, but Fulham set up a bus on the line of the penalty area, and the two central defenders Knight and Pierce who started Fulham today became the busiest people on the field. Fortunately, Southampton's two James Beatty and Kevin Phillips did not seem to have shooting boots today, and several chances were squandered, plus Van der Sar's performance was still as steady as a mountain, standing still, high to resist, and ensuring that the goal was not lost. The guardian of the Thames, who remains Coleman's most reassuring player.

Chen Zhun carefully observed the changes on the field from the sidelines, and he saw that his lightning tactics were not effective, so he immediately changed his tactics. Rather than blindly controlling the ball in Fulham's half, Southampton's players let them attack and improve the use of the pitch, which also allowed Fulham to make mistakes themselves. Chen Zhun also began to implement his second set of tactics, full-back attacking tactics. In football tactics at the time, traditional defensive full-backs were still the mainstream, and most of this role stayed in defensive roles, such as Gary Neville, which also made most of the team's attacking points come from the entire frontcourt, and if the frontcourt was prevented, the offensive ability was greatly reduced. And Chen Zhun knew that in his time, the position of fullback had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he also redefined the word fullback, they had to have both the defensive ability of fullback and the offensive ability of winger, and they were often the longest time to get the ball in the whole game, and most of the offensive initiation points also started from their feet, when the midfielders could not find opportunities because the midfield defense was too dense in the middle, so that the side became a vacuum. It also allows the attacking tactics of the full-backs to be brought into play. The selection of fullbacks by the major giants has also begun to select suitable candidates based on this criterion, Alves, Marcelo, Evra, McConn, Alba, these fullbacks who have certain defensive ability, like to step forward, and have strong assists stand out and sit firmly in the main force of the major giants. Their team tactics also rely on their wide play, and the full-backs attack has also become one of the tactical routines. Chen Zhun also found that in 2004, Arsenal had such a tactical system, left-back Ashley Cole always brought a threat to the opponent, in the earlier end of the Arsenal and Manchester City game, Arsenal relied on Ashley Cole's sudden insertion to score, so that Arsenal continued the 47-game unbeaten record.
