Beginning peak Beckham, handsome is over

Chapter 156 Welcome to Confrontation Road, Van Dijk!Let you see what is called a god-level stop!
Xiao Wen knows that defenders who have experienced the training of the Premier League are relatively difficult to deal with, and even some professional 'interfering' defenders have their own unique skills that make every striker extremely uncomfortable.

But a central defender who played in the Scottish Premier League last season dared to speak up and wanted to teach him a lesson.

interesting.

"In this game, I will give Van Dijk the upper hand."

Xiao Wen laughed and joked with the big guys.

In fact, in the Premier League, every team is not deliberately joking.Sometimes, the squad leader and deputy squad leader of the league can kill the leader. This is the charm of the Premier League.

And Southampton is definitely a unique team in English football.

Not to say how strong it is, but Southampton's youth training is really amazing.

For a team, signings is undoubtedly the best way to improve the strength of the lineup, and this is also the usual method for most teams.But for the diehards of some teams, how much they hope to see the players in their youth academy can make a difference in the first team.

When learning about the active players of the Southampton team before the game, Xiao Wen just read the information of the Southampton youth training camp by the way, and felt a sense of awe.

This youth training camp has a long history, and many high-quality young talents have been trained here.

A team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League has established a Marcus Liebherr training base worth 3000 million pounds. Compared with the sea cucumber base, Xiao Wen shook his head. With modern training facilities.

People have to sigh for the vision of the club.

With the increasingly fierce competition in the Premier League and European arenas in recent years, there is less and less room for young players, but Southampton has been providing the first team with high-quality young players.

People such as Volkert, Lallana, Chamberlain, Chambers, Ward-Prowse and others have played their own part in the Premier League. Even Luke Shaw, the most popular fried chicken of Manchester United recently, is from Southampton Don't even mention England's No. [-] center forward Alan Shearer and Bell, who was England's No. [-] worth before Xiao Wen
As a former member of Southampton, Alan Shearer, who explained the game with Gary Neville and Carragher, couldn't help but sigh, "The Saints didn't have such a good training environment in the past, but now that a new training base has been born, the fans are also happy. Start to expect the team to develop more exciting young talents. If you look back at the players the Saints have developed in the past, you will find that they can form a very strong starting lineup. If these players can cooperate here, then they His paper strength is definitely a strong contender for the Premier League title!"

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

However, for fans of teammate Southampton, it is not necessary to ask the team to do something beyond their own strength to be satisfied.

I brought my family to St. Mary's Stadium on the weekend, and saw some excellent tackles and some good cooperation from my team's boys. It's a holiday.

However, before the start of the game, everyone was full of confidence.

Manchester United played the strongest team this time.

The double defensive midfielder Kanter + Herrera provided them with endless motivation.

Depay is on the left, Mata is in the center, and Lingard on the right seems to have become a frontcourt combination with a good chemical reaction recently. If Lingard does not perform well, it seems that Rashford can quickly top it.

After the game started, Van Dijk had several direct conversations with Xiao Wen very quickly.He was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that this was the first time he started to talk, and he was under such a huge pressure that he shouldn't have been under so soon.

Xiao Wen is so narrow-minded!

Van Dijk could see it.

He beckoned for the ball several times, and then gave him inhumane teaching. Although the whole team's squatting tactics allowed teammates to quickly help defend and kill Xiao Wen's threat in the cradle.

但前面10分钟，萧问和范迪克的1VS1，以萧问4:0胜出告终。

Van Dijk underestimated the danger of such a situation before, and he should have listened to Koeman's words and given up provocation against that dangerous target.I have listened to the instigation of several big bosses in the team, and now I think about it, I really regret it!

Xiao Wen looked at the 1.9 meter tall man in front of him, and was also a little surprised.He doesn't seem to be as bulky as other central defenders of his height. Anyway, he knows that most of these local central defenders in the Premier League are like aircraft carriers turning around.

Definitely Van Dyke.
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes and looked back at Smolin and Blind
After 15 minutes, the two sides still had no absolute chance to score.

Learning from the mistakes made by his opponents against Manchester United in the previous rounds, Koeman directly retracted the two full-backs, letting Luke Shaw and Ashley Young go to the bottom or make a 45-degree cross, just pass!

Southampton's two central defenders, Van Dijk and Fonte, are tall and powerful. Whether it is Xiao Wen or Depay, or Lingard, who has a worse header, the air threat is simply 0.
Xiao Wen directly gave orders to the offensive players in the front court: "The old rule is to go on the ground, give me more balls, just give me the ball, I can handle it!"

Mata and the others have long been accustomed to Xiao Wen's extremely vicious way of playing football. Without a word, they surrounded Xiao Wen and began to cooperate in a small area.

In the Premier League, it is difficult to play in the style of La Liga.

But immediately in the second half of Southampton, it was like a half-court rehearsal. Xiao Wen's individual assault and Matadepe's pass penetration between the three appeared in front of Southampton's big penalty area in turn.

Van Dijk was a little flustered.Fortunately, the midfielder Wanyama in front of him has a recent status report.This black and hard man who has been targeted by the giants recently can be said to have shared the great pressure of the double central defenders. Whenever Xiao Wen came out of space to take a long shot, his tall and strong body could always block the front.

Manchester United's frontcourt attackers faithfully carried out Xiao Wen's order, as long as Xiao Wen beckoned, they would never stop the ball at their feet. They used all their strengths to cooperate with Xiao Wen's fierce attack in the middle.

The physically and mentally exhausted Van Dijk, who had been tortured, gasped for breath.

He has always regarded the defensive habit as the truth, observing the opponent's next move while retreating, and then making a suitable judgment and acting quickly!Now facing Xiao Wen, but a little exhausted, this guy seems to always prevent the defensive players from judging his next move.

He can speed up and pass you by one step on the spot, or he can play you around with dazzling technical moves in slow dribbling.The problem is that you still dare not foul!

He couldn't imagine that there is still such pain on the football field, and he has never faced such endless suffering, even when he was against Hazard!

However, it is also such tempering that makes Van Dijk stronger. Just like the hardships he has experienced in his life, he has never been knocked down!
Van Dijk walked up to Xiao Wen and said in a low voice, "I won't let you score even if you get cramped! Xiao Wen, don't even think about scoring a goal today!"

Xiao Wen was not angry, his eyes were indifferent, he endured the tearing pain in his body when he confronted the monster Van Dijk more than ten seconds ago, and replied in a hoarse voice: "There are seven or 10 minutes left in the game. It's still too early."

"What skills have you not used?" Van Dijk asked.

"You don't think I won the Champions League and the World Cup by luck."

"Let your full-backs and wingers play a little more high ball?"

"You really think I can't do anything in the restricted area?"

"Then why don't you go in?"

"Nine 10 minutes of the game, especially the last 10 minutes, I hope you can be as stubborn as you are now!"

Xiao Wen looked at Blind who was holding the ball in the backcourt at this time, and said coldly: "I hope you can maintain enough attention throughout the game, otherwise you will find... as long as you give me a chance, I will definitely pay you back." An unforgettable scene in this lifetime!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wen waved to Blinder.

Blind saw Xiao Wen's movements, but he was not in a hurry to get the ball.Before the game, Manchester United had already expected Southampton's tactics. They already knew that this would be the result, but at the same time they maintained absolute confidence that under their new captain, they could fight against him alone and There are almost no defenders who have won 1VS1.

So Blinder is waiting for the right moment.

At this time, Mata also returned to the center line.

When Blinder saw that it was Mata, he couldn't help being very surprised. He quickly passed the ball to Luke Shaw on the wing, and asked Mata, "Juan? Why did you come here? What did Xiao Wen say?"

Now, on the field, Xiao Wen is the number one commander. In fact, sometimes Van Gaal doesn't care how Xiao Wen directs his teammates to attack because Xiao Wen always has amazing moves.Lao Fan also took it easy, just win the game, the process is not important.

Mata saw that Blinder had some doubts, and first smiled. He always smiles at everyone and is a well-known good old man.

"I didn't say anything. I just saw him go forward and gave the ball when he had the opportunity. Now Wanyama is a bit supernatural in the middle and tried to pass him." Mata said with a smile, then took a few steps back and received Luke. Shaw passed the ball.

Compared with the state of mind of the Manchester United fans in the stands of the visiting team at this moment and when they watched the game last season, there is a world of difference.Although the team seems to have a hypnotic playing style like a big circle turning a big circle at times, they know that as long as Xiao Wen is on the field, there will be murderous intentions at any time. The moment he bowed his head, Xiao Wen was able to complete a goal of ecstasy.

Koeman on the sidelines saw this scene. Although he was very unhappy, his team was pressed by the opponent, but he did not dare to let the players press down, because other Premier League teams have already shown the end of the confrontation with Manchester United. Very bleak.

He forced himself to smile and said to the assistant coach: "Van Dijk did a good job! As long as Manchester United's penetration in the center is prevented, their crosses from the side will not be a threat. Endure it until the last 10 minutes of the second half and give it a try!"

Facing a game against a strong team, Koeman naturally has strict requirements for skills and tactics. As long as the defensive personnel in the backcourt are not allowed to leave their defensive area without authorization, even if you are the most outstanding defensive core.This is also to prevent Xiao Wen from giving more space. Moreover, as long as Xiao Wen enters the penalty area, he will belong to Van Dijk. This is clearly stipulated in the tactical arrangement before the game.

If Van Dijk and Font's control of the high-altitude ball made Koeman extremely relieved, then Font's turn around was the only point Koeman was worried about.But today, Fonte and Van Dijk were unprecedentedly calm from the beginning. In any case, facing one of the world's top stars also made both of them excited and tried their best.

Perhaps, the fellow countryman Van Dijk, who has more than that, is today a battle for him to prove himself?
Koeman already has a preliminary judgment on Van Dijk's strength.

This child will become a great weapon in the future-this is Koman's opinion.

Van Dijk has a relatively calm personality and focuses on blocking defense, so it can be seen that Van Dijk often retreats when facing offensive players without losing his position.

At this time, it was another large-scale transfer by Mata. Lingard stopped the ball in the chest and then cut inside.

An early prediction by Van Dijk, the ball was intercepted!

Koeman nodded secretly. One of Van Dijk's tricks is his prediction, or his ability to read the game.Koeman never sees reckless behavior from him. He is not the kind of player who completes defense through reckless tackles or steals, but uses his own anticipation to intercept the ball before it approaches the opponent.His anticipation makes him an active defender instead of a passive one!
There was a burst of applause at St. Mary's Stadium, giving Van Dijk this defense.

Van Gaal watched Van Dijk's performance, turned to Giggs and said with a smile: "Ryan, it seems that Xiao Wen encountered some problems today. I, a fellow, have something."

Giggs naturally didn't dare to follow Van Gaal's happy words, but he couldn't believe it when he saw Van Gaal's smiling face. The situation is so good that a few wisecracks are irrelevant.It's just that the game is like this sometimes. Once the opponent loses confidence in defense, it might be really difficult to chew the game.

However, it can also be seen from Van Gaal's emotions that Xiao Wen has completely gained Van Gaal's trust. Otherwise, with Van Gaal's prudent actions, he would not be able to make such jokes when he was so anxious on the court.

Thinking of this, Giggs turned his face and said with a slight smile: "If you attack more times, there will always be mistakes and omissions in the defense line. And once there is such a slight gap, Xiao Wen will definitely surprise us."

After finishing speaking, he didn't say much, sat down and waited quietly.

Van Gaal was already very satisfied with Xiao Wen, and he immediately felt relieved, thinking that he could finally sit safely on the coaching bench this year.

"Van Dijk seems to be a bit different from other tall defenders."

Carragher frowned and gave his own judgment: "He has his own unique perspective on the situation on the field."

As a central defender, Carragher certainly knows how difficult this position is.

A striker can waste several opportunities in a game, but as long as he scores a goal, he is likely to become the hero of that game!

However, in a game, a central defender makes countless wonderful interceptions and tackles to block, as long as he makes a mistake, he will fall into the abyss of eternal doom.

Neville was also a little surprised. He quickly looked at the pre-match preparation materials. Van Dijk's materials were very simple. How good can the guy from the Scottish League be?

Van Dijk is presenting himself to the world right now.

Oh no.

Neville's smile was a bit bitter.He knows best what these high-flying defenders can do.It's a small thing to risk your life to block it!

Now let's see how Xiao Wen can break Van Dijk's already rising limelight.

London, a villa.

Mourinho, holding a glass of wine in front of the TV, watched Manchester United take advantage of the field, but always missed the last step.

He still couldn't get enough of the chatter he had with Wenger two days ago, and recently, many reporters talked about Xia Tian's frustration—failure to buy Xiao Wen.

Technical and tactical regression?
Why do I, Mourinho, have to prove my tactical ability to the world!
That's the case, watching the little guy I once loved become more and more adapted to the Premier League, or the Premier League has become more and more aware of the extraordinaryness of this guy.Mourinho regretted more and more in his heart.

Although he had an interview with Xiao Wen in London.

But if Xiao Wen went to him directly with all the sincerity when he was on vacation, would the result be different?
Assumptions without factual basis are always fantasy.Mourinho shook his head and also shook the glass wall
The playing time has come to No.305 minutes, and the number of shots on the field is 7:3. Manchester United seems to be turning away.

But none of the shots were on target.Seeing Southampton counterattack again, Tadic's through ball was cut off by Kanter again.

"Damn! Where did the guy come from, so fierce!"

The player Kanter somehow reminded Mourinho of Makelele and Essien at his peak.Why didn't the payment group find out?Ligue [-] steals king!
Mourinho was feeling that Kanter had passed the ball forward to Mata on the left side of the pitch.

People stand near the midline.

Mata observed his teammates in the left, center and right positions of the frontcourt.

Depay and Lingard both retreated desperately because of the opponent's counterattack, and were about to turn around at this time.

And Xiao asked.
This guy is at the top of the arc in the penalty area.And started to rush forward.Beside him is Van Dijk who ran into the penalty area together.

There was a loud bang, even in the noisy St. Mary's Stadium, everyone on the field turned around in astonishment, only Xiao Wen, Van Dijk and Fonte behind Van Dijk were left in front of the Southampton penalty area . This ball, Mata actually passed it to the penalty area from the center line!
Xiao Wen suddenly speeded up, a drizzle hit his face, and the tiny rain particles carried the breeze and hit his face faintly obstructing his sight!

In an instant, the three of them ran wildly in the drizzle, and someone screamed: "Stick to him!"

Xiao Wen suddenly rushed into the penalty area, his figure was as fast as a ghost, in the drizzle, in the stands of St. Mary's Stadium, no matter how good his eyesight was, he could only see a faint white ball flashing across the stadium. passed away.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Wen suddenly jumped out from the original position parallel to Van Dijk, and rushed straight into the penalty area. The speed was so fast that he caught Van Dijk by surprise.

With the sound of the wind in his ears, Xiao Wen seemed to be listening to the wind to identify the shape. While running sideways to see where the ball landed, he immediately knew that Van Dijk was also rushing towards him.His reaction was fast, Xiao Wen just ran forward and immediately chased him back, screaming strangely.

The ball floated a little in the air, and finally fell with a sharp wind sound, seemingly fierce, but in the eyes of a calm expert like Xiao Wen, the falling speed of the ball was as slow as a turtle robbing a snail.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a ball that is passed accurately, but does not seem to be a big threat.

Because the field is too slippery, it is difficult to stop the football flying from such a long distance with the rain on it. Even if it can stop, with Van Dijk's state of the game, he is bound to be able to break the ball. If you are not good, you can get rid of the siege.

Unexpectedly, during the run, Xiao Wen saw where the ball landed, and suddenly stretched his long legs!
Xiao Wen raised his right foot in the air, hooked it slightly, and then pulled and pulled it. I don't know what kind of footwork he used, but the ball was actually stopped by him. After touching his foot, it only bounced slightly twice. Ten centimeters away, then landed
The ball was obviously passed by Mata with all his strength, but the football seemed to change direction inexplicably in mid-air, and fell lightly!
Van Dijk's breath was stagnant, and before he could take a step forward, Xiao Wen suddenly raised his right foot again and kicked the ball back!Then he jumped back, before the Southampton goalkeeper attacked, and behind Van Dijk who was still rushing forward due to inertia, he slammed fiercely at the bottom of the football. The crisp contact sound of the feet and the football could be heard clearly in Van Dijk's ears Chu.

No, not possible!
Before the match, Van Dijk admitted that if he and Xiao Wen were to fight one-on-one, the strength of the two sides would be too far apart.However, after the start of the game, under his single defense, Fonte's assistance defense and Wanyama's return to defense from time to time, Xiao Wen lost his former sharpness.

I thought this game was the day when Van Dijk became famous!
But first he knew that his experience, talent, and so-called strength, in the eyes of Xiao Wen who had stunned fans countless times, simply did not constitute any threat.Against you guys, he didn't even use his desperate hurricane!
The Southampton goalkeeper knelt down on his knees and raised his right hand, trying to throw the football that came suddenly, but it only caught the air.

In an instant, Coman's expression on the sidelines changed from cloudy to cloudy.Xiao Wen's moves are very strange, his shot is not very powerful, the key is his handling before this shot. How is it possible!

The speed of the ball, even in the view of Koeman, in the wind and rain, the ball is moving and flying, and every change in the air makes it impossible for the person who stops the ball to grasp it. Strength.

Coman instantly understood that this time he had met the real No.1 in the world.

"Fake!"

In front of the door, Fonte, who rushed to the small penalty area in inertia, uttered a rough sentence. When he said the last word, he suddenly raised his voice, and his voice almost turned into a scream.He turned around and looked sideways at Xiao Wen, as if looking at an artificial human in a movie
Van Dijk was even more shocking on the spot. Since the beginning of the show, their restrictions on Xiao Wen can be said to be full marks. In addition, they were indeed a little contemptuous of Xiao Wen who hadn't shown much strength before, and felt relaxed.Unexpectedly, Mata suddenly made a long pass, and Xiao Wen stopped and shot consecutively in an understatement.

Van Dijk moved forward in embarrassment, and when he turned around, the football passed behind him.

Far, high, fast, floating, wet!

Is the stoppage just now something that a human can do?
Van Dijk turned around suddenly, but saw Xiao Wen facing him with a smile on his face, and raised his chin, "How is it?"
