Yang Huan sat in the stands of the president of St. Mary's Stadium, which one belongs to him? The seat.

He didn't know at all that in China, three women who were close to him were plotting to start a business, and he just watched the game attentively, where a Southampton match against Liverpool was being played.

Judging from the current Premier League standings, Southampton ranks second and Liverpool ranks sixth.

But from the perspective of situation, the Saints have to challenge Manchester United's top position, while Liverpool has to fight for the top four Champions League qualifications!

Therefore, neither side should lose this game.

In this game, Southampton changed the tactics of the four-legged and eight-legged game against Norwich in the last round and played very aggressively.

From the beginning of the game, the Saints put a lot of pressure on the attack and oppression to firmly suppress the Reds.

Liverpool seemed to be prepared for Southampton's starting tactics. After the opening, the three midfielders composed of Joe Allen, Lucas and Gerrard all fell in deep positions, and it looked more like taking a defensive position.

This season, if you want to play against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium, you will undoubtedly be the old birthday boy who is hung up and tired of living!

The Saints' series of pressing and oppression after the opening made Liverpool very embarrassed, especially goalkeeper Renner made a low-level mistake and actually passed the ball directly to Gareth Bale, which almost caused the goal to concede.

This also made the Red Army panic.

In the fifth minute, Neymar got the ball and suddenly knocked back when he broke into the penalty area from the left rib.

Tony Cross fucked in and shot the ball in a fury manner against Neymar's return pass.

The ball spiraled violently and drilled into the upper right corner, and Reina was beyond the reach!

Tony Cross's heavy artillery fire ignited the fanatic atmosphere of the entire St. Mary's Stadium.

Countless fans rushed out of their seats frantically, shouting Tony Cross's name, cheering for the German midfielder!

Although Yang Huan sat upright in the stands, he still received warm applause.

"You Southampton have so many ways to change the situation in the game!"

Sitting next to Yang Huan, Liverpool Ian Al, who was traveling with the team, shook his head and sighed.

When Rodgers wanted to rely on the defense line and the three midfielders to block Southampton's midfield attack, Tony Cross suddenly inserted and shot a long shot, causing a goal!

How can people resist this?

Yang Huan laughed, Southampton's offense was not a joke!

Just like this game, with the starting trident, Ibrahimovic alone can restrain Liverpool's Scotter and Ag, two central defenders, and even midfielder Lucas, must always keep an eye on and echo the double central defenders.

But even so, can Liverpool cut off the pass to Ibrahimovic?

The answer is, it's very difficult!

This is the greatest tactical value of the Swedish center in the frontcourt!

Neymar on the left and Gareth Bale on the right are both attackers who have great threats in the frontcourt.

Once they get the ball, they can't defend themselves by leaning on the fullback alone, and they must have the support of their midfield teammates.

So, Neymar just got the ball, and Glenn Johnson and Gerard joined forces with him, one defended the bottom and the other defended the inside.

Gareth Bale also relied on his own clever movement to attract the attention of Jose Enrique and Jo Allen.

Vidal suddenly stepped forward and immediately attracted Lucas.

This has led to the complete exposure of Liverpool's frontline in the penalty area.

So, as soon as Tony Cross inserted, Neymar passed the ball, and the Germans could directly take a long shot!

After all, Southampton's strength, especially the personal strength of midfielders, has outperformed Liverpool!

Glen Johnson and Gerald attacked Neymar and asked the latter to knock the ball back and pass it. What else can I say?

In Yang Huan's view, the only Liverpool team who can compete with Southampton's midfield and frontcourt is Suarez.

The Uruguayan has been in a very amazing state in recent times, scoring seven goals in four games, second only to Southampton's Ibrahimovic in the scorer list, which shows how hot it is.

As soon as Suarez was mentioned, the Uruguayan striker on the court was alive.

Because Southampton is using high-level defense and the defense line is pressing very well, Suarez has been patiently looking for opportunities.

Not long after the re-telection, he seized an opportunity. Gerald scored a ball in the midfield, Suarez quickly started and passed through Southampton's defense line. He was about to form a single shot, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Offside!

The Uruguayan turned around and saw that Xiavi Martinez and Varane started at the same time. Southampton's entire defense line moved forward with a tacit understanding, forming an offside trap.

"What a pity!" Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.

It's not because of the offside of Suarez, but because of the Uruguayans.

With Suarez's strength, it is definitely buried in Liverpool.

To be honest, Liverpool's attack is entirely supported by Suarez!

In Yang Huan's previous life, at least Sturric could keep up with Suarez, but what about now?

Looking at the entire Liverpool, Gerald is old and Stirling is still young. Who else can cooperate with Suarez?

Rodgers played a very smart game plan. The midfielder retracted, with the purpose of oppressing Southampton's first pass forward in the midfield and backcourt, and then using two wingers to entangle two full-backs in Southampton.

As for Suarez, he was alone in front of him and was in a state of isolation and helplessness, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But in this way, the three midfielders have their own defensive tasks, and Southampton's double midfielder Modric and Tony Cross are here to see the defense?

Modric is relatively better. The hardworking Gerrard can still run back and forth, but Joe Allen doesn't care about Tony Cross's side, so the Germans have a lot of room for activity, which seems very active and frequently creates threats.

Tony Cross's activity and Modric's ball-taking organization and scheduling in the midfield have allowed Southampton to control the ball steadily. Since the start of the game, the ball possession rate has reached 70%.

"Oh my god!" Yang Huan wondered if he had read it wrong.

Is this a match between Southampton and Liverpool?

It is worth mentioning that the Saints' possession rate is very different from Barcelona's possession rate.

Barcelona's ball possession rate mainly depends on passing and back-and-forth in the midfield and backcourt.

The Saints' possession rate depends on pressing and oppressing.

Southampton dared to take the risk of trying to pass the threatening ball, insisted on walking on both sides, not afraid of losing the ball, because once the ball was lost, he immediately put on counter-robbery, and snatched the ball in the shortest time, then tried to attack, make mistakes, and grab it again.

Except for the game against Norwich, Southampton rarely sees extra midfield and backcourt footing, let alone ball possession rate.

This is also the reason why Southampton's style is more aggressive and ornamental than Barcelona and is more popular with fans.

With firm control of the situation on the field, Southampton almost beat Liverpool up.

But it must be said that although Liverpool's offense is not very good, the defense is organized quite well.

The central defender combination of Scotter and Agge, as well as Lucas in the midfielder position, made Liverpool's defense very strong.

Especially after being scored by Southampton at the beginning, Liverpool adjusted its defense and became much more conservative in its mentality. Although Southampton got a lot of opportunities, it failed to convert into a goal.

Until the 37th minute of the game, Neymar was fouled in the frontcourt dribbling, Tony Kroos took a free kick, Ibrahimovic headed the ball, Gareth Bale scored a point, 2-0!

This goal, coupled with the situation on the court, almost sentenced Liverpool to death!

But Yang Huan was not very happy.

Manchester United's game was one day earlier than Southampton, and with Rooney's goal, the Red Devils beat Reading 1-0.

In this way, the Saints will take Liverpool and at best they will chase Manchester United.

Eight rounds and eight points, this suspense still needs to be endured!

"It's still not as good as others!" Ian Al shook his head and sighed unwillingly.

Yang Huan smiled, "Ian, don't be dissatisfied. Your Liverpool's defense is stable now, but if you want to compete for the top four in the league, you still have to work hard on offense!"

"What does it mean?" Ian Al asked with concern.

All Premier League, oh, no, it’s all Europe, who doesn’t know that Young Master Huan is the boss who knows the most about football?

"The biggest problem for you Liverpool now is the advancement of the ball!"

"The advancement of the ball road?" Ian Al thoughtful.

"Suarez alone will not play a role, but if Suarez is withdrawn to connect the midfield and the frontcourt, then who can stand on the frontcourt? But if Suarez is held on the frontcourt, who should complete the advancement of the ball from the midfield to the frontcourt?"

Ian Al suddenly felt that it made sense.

Southampton's excellent offense is not that the ball path is very rich in means of advancing?

Tony Cross's long pass is awesome, and both Harvey Martinez and Varane both have strong long passes.

In addition, the top high center forwards like God Taibrahimovic and Warcraft Drogba stood in front, which was enough to give full play to the team's advantage of long passes in the middle and backcourts.

When the ball reaches the midfield, Neymar, Gareth Bale and Modric all have excellent personal abilities and can drive the ball to the frontcourt.

But looking at Liverpool, who can drive the ball besides Suarez?

In Yang Huan's previous life, the season when Liverpool performed the best was the season when Suarez and Sturridge formed a double striker and performed the best. In addition, there was no interference from European and Cup games, the team focused on the league, so the combat effectiveness he played was also quite amazing.

There is no reason for this!

To put it simply, these two players can decide to break one and the other retrace according to the surrounding situation to solve the problem of ball propulsion. With Henderson, Coutinho, Stirling and others assisting, Liverpool's attack power is revealed.

When Suarez transfers, the problem will be exposed again!

"There are not many choices in front of you now. Either you will introduce a powerful striker to partner with Suarez. This will improve Liverpool's overall strength, but the funds invested in operation are not cheap."

Yang Huan deliberately paused, noticed that Ian Al was in a difficult face and knew it.

Liverpool's operation in the transfer market has never been the type of big shots.

The reason why Carol was introduced to the public was because he sold Torres, and the team urgently needed to fill the vacancy of Torres.

But as a result, Carol became a big squad, with more than 30 million pounds was wasted, and the football director Comoli, who was responsible for the transfer, was also fired.

Therefore, Yang Huan is very sure that Liverpool will invest more than 20 million pounds to introduce a striker who can attack the city and siege in the Premier League. Even Ian Elken, the boss behind Liverpool will definitely refuse.

Then, there is only the second choice left!
Chapter completed!
