Chapter 147: Six Consecutive Victories
Time is always a mystery. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info When you do something that is obvious and boring, time always flies slowly, like a clingy girlfriend, lying on you, and you don't want to go. When you have a wonderful moment, time seems to be in a hurry to get married, swishing in the visible range, rushing by.
In the blink of an eye, the international break is quietly over, and the fierce Premier League competition is back on the horizon.
In the sixth round of the English Premier League, Southampton played at home against Wigan Athletic.
David Winston was on the training ground today as he waited for the return of his squad for the international break, while those who did not attend the international break were already practicing tactics.
In the morning, all the players who participated in the international break returned, fortunately, David Winston stood at the door of the training ground, and all he saw were the lively players, his previous worries did not happen, every time there was an international break, his cerebral cortex would be namelessly nervous, and then he would not sleep well, and even pray.
Instead of attending the daily training sessions, the players who took part in the international break were taken to the physiotherapy room by David Winston to let the new team doctor rest off the new players who had returned.
“what?!!” Yaya Toure was lying on the bed in the physiotherapy room, and saw Yuluo holding glass jars in his left hand and an alcohol lamp in his right hand, walking towards him with a fierce look.
David Winston, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh when he saw such a scene, and quickly explained to all the team members with frightened expressions: "Don't be afraid. This is a Chinese form of physiotherapy that can remove fatigue, this is called cupping, and it is very comfortable!!"
The players looked at David Winston with a wicked smile in disbelief, thinking to themselves how the head coach knows so much about Chinese things, since the head coach has said that it is okay, then there is nothing to be afraid of, and everything happens to the head coach.
Half an hour later, the players who were still scared before had a comfortable look on their faces, and they all wanted to do it again.
"Boss!! It's so comfortable!! I love China to death!! Yaya Toure shouted excitedly in the treatment room.
David Winston disagreed with Yaya Toure's shouting, and thought: "You love China so much, it is more reliable to do something practical and directly change your Chinese nationality!" ”
"Seeing that you are so satisfied, I have also discussed with the team doctor before, and the physiotherapy method of cupping will be carried out once a month, and there will be many ancient Chinese physiotherapy for you in the future."
After David Winston finished speaking, he came up with gua sha, hair twisting, pedicure, and so on in ordinary Chinese bathhouses.
After participating in the international competition, the team members came out of the physiotherapy room. The players on the training ground have not yet undergone such physiotherapy, and they are all puzzled.
At this time, David Winston also brought the players on the training ground to the physiotherapy room, and after half an hour, they finally knew the doubts just now, and they also liked and were very interested in this kind of physiotherapy.
The home game continued, which gave Southampton more time to rest and adjust.
And the match in the sixth round is also eye-catching, St. Mary's Stadium is still crowded, almost full.
This game also brought a full atmosphere, and it was another hearty and devastating victory.
A 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic.
Southampton continued the rhythm of their opening blitz, scoring the door to Atletico Wigan after just eight minutes.
Peter Trohowski, who continued to claim a starting position, delivered a penetrating through ball that Kevin Phillips, who was getting his first chance to play in the new season, certainly won't squander that opportunity. Kevin Phillips got the ball and shook off the goalkeeper of Atletico Wigan, who came to block, and scored with ease. Kevin Phillips knows he could be the third striker in the team right now, but he doesn't have any requirements at the moment and just wants to enjoy every minute on the pitch. Last season, David Winston helped him a lot and gave him enough confidence and support. He was ready for everything this season as well, and as a veteran he needs to do a lot off the field.
Compared to the quick and chaotic speed of the first goal, the second goal is coming very slowly and slowly. It wasn't until the 60th minute of the second half that the second goal came. Previously, Wigan Athletic had hit the post once and wasted a single shot.
The so-called catastrophe does not die, and there will be blessings.
The second goal came from right winger Franmikyl Smitchell. At that time, left winger Peter Trohovski took a free-kick that was barely saved by the Wigan Athletic goalkeeper, but the astute Franmikyl Smitchell waited for the rabbit to get the chance and easily pushed the empty net to further lead the score, and the goal completely extinguished the confidence of the Wigan Athletic team in wanting to equalise.
It was also France's first goal for Southampton. The Saints fans in the stadium gave endless applause to the tireless Czech veteran.
Atletico Wigan lost their resistance when they conceded that goal. The third goal came two minutes later.
Two minutes later, Roberto Ayala at the back made a steal and made a long pass straight to substitute Dirk Kuyt, but it was disrupted by a Wigan Athletic centre-back and Southampton was awarded a corner.
Roberto Ayala and Luis Pereira both came to the Atletico Vigan penalty area to scramble for the corner.
The corner kick was taken by Pyotr Trohovski, the corner kick was issued, the arc and strength were very good, Luis Pereira grabbed the first point, but he did not choose to head the goal, but leaned back hatefully, and swung the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Roberto Ayala was in this position, jumping up like a green onion on dry ground, and smashing the header of the central defender who was taller than him! He is already a veteran in his thirties, but the bounce is still so amazing.
It was also Roberto Ayala's first goal for Southampton.
Three goals, all brilliant, this game played the style of the Southampton team again, fast, lethal and without any delay. A three-to-two-foot pass can tear apart the opponent's entire defence in an instant, and then send the ball to the goal.
David Winston has to think about whether Barcelona's tactics in his previous life are suitable for the current Southampton team, and the current Southampton team is implementing defensive counter-attacking tactics like a fish in water, and it is not a wise decision to change tactics rashly.
