Although the Saints put a lot of pressure at the beginning of the game, firmly controlling the game situation, Manchester City is not a fuel-saving lamp.

There is a saying that a bad boat has three kilograms of nails, but Manchester City is the first to create a threat on the court.

That happened in the 16th minute. After losing the ball in the frontcourt, the first counter-attack on the left was not in time. As a result, Manchester City's right-back Sabaleta suddenly stepped in. After Yaya Toure and David Silva cooperated, David Silva passed to the right in seconds.

Zabaleta broke through Southampton's defense before everyone, got the ball, rushed to the bottom line, and then picked the cross from the middle.

But this time, a very threatening pass was hit by Neuer, who suddenly abandoned the goal, and hit the penalty area with a single punch.

Although he failed to form a scoring opportunity, this time the counterattack was quite sharp.

After resolving the crisis, Neuer immediately shouted at Luke Xiao who was returning to defense. It was obvious that the left defender was too pressing, which directly led to the team losing the ball and counterattacking, and he failed to get in time.

With the first counterattack, Manchester City tasted the sweetness and Southampton began to slow down its offensive.

Ancelotti made some fine adjustments on the sidelines, but the overall situation did not move.

This is also normal. For the same problem, the head coach and the fans see two completely different directions.

It’s like the counterattack just now that many people think that it’s Luke Shaw’s problem.

But in Ancelotti's view, it is not, but that Manchester City will feel that after grabbing the left-back in his tactics, they will launch a threatening counterattack.

Therefore, after fine-tuning, Manchester City still repeatedly played against David Silva and De Bruyne.

Both players are very interesting. They are both skilled midfielders, but they appear on the wing, and their responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of pseudo-wingers, that is, organizational wingers.

Pellegrini obviously wants to use David Silva and De Bruyne to tear apart the weaknesses between Southampton full-back and central defender, especially after the full-back is inserted.

But Ancelotti is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she made adjustments immediately to try to plug this loophole.

However, with the raid just now, the game began to get a little stalemate.

Yang Huan now found that as he watched the football more, his perspective of appreciating football will be different, and he will see it more in-depth.

In the past, Southampton during the Bielsa period was straightforward and emphasized more about offense.

But now Ancelotti is different. He seems to pay more attention to balance and emphasize control.

In order to better control the game, the Saints can press up very well, but can also retreat deeply.

However, the players on the court have a tacit understanding and uniformity.

After watching some Southampton games this season, Bielsa exclaimed that Ancelotti was writing Southampton's football art. Even Guardiola said that Ancelotti did make the Saints' football philosophy more rational.

At first, Yang Huan didn't know how to read it, but later, Bielsa taught him.

"You imagine that there is a virtual line between every player on the team. The players' every move on the court is not separated from the whole, and then you look at the team's trend in the game."

The people from the research center also specially developed a set of programs to do this aspect of analysis and research. Yang Huan has watched those videos and found that when the players are connected in a line, the team's every move on the court seems to have a rhythm and a sense of rhythm.

The entire team has three lines, which are kept very tight and tight. They go back together when they retreat, and when they press up.

At this time, the team was like a sticky paste.

You punched the left side, and I was in a recession on the left side, and the middle and right side were also wrapped towards the left side.

What?

Do you think you can't get enough strength and want to retract?

OK, but I will follow your retracted gesture, pressing out and bounce out.

In this case, the Saints have no fixed formation at all, and even many players do not have fixed positions. They will perform their duties based on the situation on the field and their own positions and jointly maintain this whole.

Of course, this so-called airtight whole can only exist in theory.

But on the ever-changing football field, different changes often occur, just like Luke Shaw was too leaning on the top, which directly led to the team being beaten to fight back.

The same hidden dangers still exist in every link of the team.

But as a whole, the saints are undoubtedly quite exquisite.

This exquisiteness is reflected on the court. Even in the stalemate between the two sides, the Saints can still control the situation and the ball in an orderly manner, making it difficult for Manchester City to grab the ball. They want to attack, but they don’t know where to start.

Yang Huan sat in the stands and deeply felt that the Saints were already a very mature team.

This made him a little sad, a little reluctant, and even a little reluctant to admit it.

However, when a team, even if they replace all the substitute lineups, they can play a set of tactics that are no less than the main lineup. There is no doubt that this tactical system can be announced to be fully mature.

It can even be said that it has been integrated into the bones of every player on the team.

Watching the players on the court play football, they are not as passionate as those of Bielsa's era, but they seem calm, unhurried and unchaotic. No matter what emergencies are encountered, they can resolve them calmly. The game is played smoothly, comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Yang Huan now feels like a father who has grown up. He looks at his child. From the hungry baby, he needs to take care of everything himself and care for him. He grows up and matures and becomes independent.

Until now, he no longer needs to worry about it or help.

But he felt a sudden feeling of loss.

Yang Huan believes that no one in the world can understand his mood at this moment, because the effort and energy he put into this Southampton team is completely unaware of.

The saint is like his child!

Although he knew that he was looking forward to it countless times in his heart, when would he be able to easily become a idle rich second generation? Can he worry less about things?

But when this day really came, he felt lost.

"Hmph!" Yang Huan breathed, shook his head and smiled.

"What's wrong?" Prince William, who was sitting next to him, asked strangely.

He had long noticed Master Huan's strangeness. He had not said a word for a long time, just staring at the game. This was completely different from Master Huan's style.

If it were in the past, when Young Master Huan saw Manchester City retreating in a panic, wouldn’t he have teased Mubarak?

Yang Huan smiled faintly, sighed again, and said self-deprecatingly: "I suddenly feel like I'm dumped by a woman!"

"What?" Prince William was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Young Master Huan was dumped by a woman?

If you say this, it’s good to be honest if you don’t laugh at me!

Not only him, but even those sitting around them, found it funny.

Everyone knows that Young Master Huan is so romantic that he is the only one who is dumping others. Who has ever heard of someone dumping Young Master Huan?

"I said, Master Huan, I heard that you have been with Hollywood recently... that..."

"Nina Dubov!" someone next to him reminded.

"Yes, it's her, Nina Dubov, I just heard that you two have hooked up. Did she really dump you?"

Yang Huan was depressed. Needless to say, it must be the news revealed by the guy who unbuttoned the three buttons of British Telecom. Only this person who is very good at hand in Hollywood knows about his affairs with Nina Dubov.

Isn’t it just that two people take a yacht to go out to sea for a few days?

But soon Prince William realized something was wrong.

"It's not right. My Young Master Huan, I heard before that she has been chasing you all the time. I finally caught up with you. How could I dump you?"

Then, this future king of England, who was very gossipy, opened his eyes wide, "Can you have something new?"

"I'll do it!" Yang Huan was so angry that he laughed.

"You guys are really... Xia Chou can't speak for you!"

Don't think Prince William is gossipy enough?

But this guy is a man who is afraid of his wife and is afraid of death. Princess Kate said something, but he dared not let go of his fart.

"You mean, aren't you really dumped by a woman?"

"Nonsense!" Yang Huan couldn't show them his heart, "I'm talking about feeling, feeling, you guys who have never had a relationship several times, and have never even had a relationship, don't understand."

Prince William and others were depressed. He wanted to say that he had at least talked about it again, okay?

But when he said this, he would definitely be laughed to death, so he simply stopped talking.

However, it must be said that at this time, Mr. Huan is the one they know!

The deep thought just now is a bit uncomfortable.

Just when the stands were having a lot of fun, I saw the situation suddenly change on the court.

Tilemans passed the ball to Kovacic, who stopped the ball and turned around, and finished it in one go. After throwing away the Manchester City defensive player, he dribbled the ball and advanced quickly, entering the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City.

Young Master Huan hadn't sat down yet, and when he saw it, he was excited and shouted loudly: "Good ball, get on!"

Mubarak, who was standing beside him, was anxious, "Stop him, shovel, shovel!"

Yang Huanke was so happy that he tackled at this position and once he fouled, it would be a very good set-piece opportunity.

Although Beckham II Prous did not start, the Saints are not short of free kick players.

But just as he rushed to the front of Manchester City's penalty area, Kovacic suddenly reached the right side, Oscar caught up with him, and with a fake move, he leaned to the left, but suddenly stabbed his right foot.

All the defensive players were deceived by Oscar's body, thinking that he was going to pass to the left, but suddenly passed to the right, which was really a beautiful sound.

Then I saw Sturridge like a flash of lightning, inserted into the penalty area from the right side. Before the defender turned around, he did not shoot himself, but made a cross pass to the left post.

Harry Kane rushed out of the crowd at this time, snatched everyone, and shot the ball straight into the goal.

One to zero!

"Wow!" Yang Huan jumped up with excitement after seeing Harry Kane score.

This local player who is praised by Alan Shearer as England's number one center in the next ten years has performed so well in the past two seasons, especially this season, with too high efficiency.

But more importantly, he is not only very efficient in scoring and excellent in footwork. What he is most praised for is his active running on the court, which reflects extremely high tactical value.

"That's great. Once you score the goal, the game will be easy!" Yang Huan laughed.

On the other hand, Mubarak next to him sat back in his seat without any effort, and he couldn't get excited.

He knew very well that Manchester City could turn the situation around with the goal first by Southampton.
Chapter completed!
