Chapter 112 The Entanglement of Red and Blue (2)

The game officially begins.The battle for the focus of attention is imminent.The moment the whistle sounded for the start of the game, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its climax. Standing on the sidelines, David Winston could feel waves of heat hitting his face and ears, mixed with shouts and Incomparably powerful momentum.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were full of gunpowder.As soon as Southampton's Miguel Arteta got the ball, he was shoveled to the ground by Chelsea's veteran midfielder Claude Makelele, clutching his leg in pain.

Seeing such a brutal steal, the fans in the audience not only did not mean to criticize, but burst into applause, which was mixed with scolding and ridicule.David Winston listened particularly harshly, but he couldn't make any waves in his heart.David Winston was used to this situation.The strong British football fan culture seems to be just a drop in the bucket in these scenes. After all, he is also a man who has experienced stadium wars.

The referee rushed over immediately, but he didn't give any substantive penalty to Claude Makelele, he just warned him with a stern face.Poor Miguel Arteta suffered an unspeakable loss.The Southampton team members rushed to surround the referee and complained.David Winston hastily yelled to signal them to calm down. A small body collision is normal. He saw the players put pressure on the referee, and then let the captain Roberto Aya on the field Pull the players apart and let him communicate with the referee.David Winston did this to make the referee think in his heart that the Southampton players are not soft persimmons who can be bullied, so that he can form a scale in his heart, and when he makes a penalty in the future Will think about how to whistle.

The game continued, and the players of the Southampton team highly implemented David Winston's pre-match tactics, completely giving the ball to Chelsea on the scene, and played their famous defensive counterattack tactics with peace of mind.The fans of the Blues watched their beloved team completely take the initiative on the field, and cheered even harder.

Only the coach Jose Mourinho on the sidelines and the Chelsea players on the field knew that the current situation was very bad. In fact, the initiative on the field was completely out of their hands.Every attack of the Chelsea players seemed to hit the cotton, feeling like they couldn't exert their strength.After a season of tempering, the Southampton team has done a very good defensive system. Even if the position of the central defender has changed a lot today, the original defensive system has not changed much. This is commendable.Jose Mourinho watched every move on the field with some seriousness.

The game lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and the Chelsea team firmly took the initiative, but the patience of the players was worn away bit by bit.The monster Didier Drogba was completely lost in the trap set by Roberto Ayala and Luis Pereira, and became more and more impatient. Roberto Ayala, the referee decisively showed him the first yellow card of the game.

David Winston clearly saw the anger in Didier Drogba's large round eyes.There is a sly smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Chelsea are the defending champions of the Premier League, their mental state is still not at the level of a true European football giant. The ups and downs must have restricted them. performance in Europe.

The foul near the Southampton corner ended Chelsea's offensive wave.Southampton's goalkeeper Sebastian Frey did not choose to kick the ball forward with his big foot, because there is no high center forward on the forward line this season, so David Winston asked the goalkeeper to choose short passes as much as possible. Kicking off means actively wasting an offensive opportunity.

Sebastian Frey passed the ball to Nicky Shorey on the left, who saw two Chelsea players rushing up ahead.Had to cross the ball to Roberto Ayala in the middle.Roberto Ayala looked up at Dirk Dirk in front of him, and at the same time saw the Chelsea players who were slow to return to defense, so he suddenly made a long pass, which made the Chelsea players They were also surprised.Only Dirk Kurit knows that.This long pass was fast and had a very high arc, but when it flew near the Chelsea penalty area, it fell sharply and flew towards the middle of William Gallas and John Terry.

Dirk Kurit looked back at the ball as if it was in front of him, but in the end he was headed back by John Terry, temporarily solving the defensive crisis.But the ejected ball is still at the feet of the Southampton players.Yaya Toure controlled the ball from outside the box.Yaya Toure did not rush to attack and handed the ball to Miguel Arteta who came up behind him to organize the attack.Miguel Arteta passed the ball to Fran Mikiel Smicer on the right, knowing that manager David Winston had said to focus on Chelsea's left and Frank on the right. - Ribéry's role is to pull the line of defense and attract the attention of Chelsea's defenders.

Fran Mickiel Smicer has passed his prime, and his speed and endurance are no longer as brave as they used to be, but his experience and skills are still at the top level in Europe.Fran Mikiel Smicer and Yaya Toure made eye contact, and Yaya Toure instantly understood what it meant, and they usually did some small coordination training.Asier Del Horno saw Fran Mikiel Smicer coming in like a rush of wind and dust, he felt a little panic in his heart, and immediately rushed forward, preparing to grab the ball ahead of time.Flemishkiel Smicer couldn't help smiling when he saw Asier Del Horno like this. When he was about to pull him in front of him, he turned his toes suddenly and gently moved the ball to the side. Yaya Toure, who was in front of him, then passed Asir Del Horno and ran forward.Yaya Toure didn't hesitate for a moment. After getting the ball, he immediately picked up the ball and hoisted it to the predetermined position.Flemishkiel Smicer saw an open area in front of him, and the ball came back to his feet comfortably.

Chelsea's centre-back William Gallas had to fill in at left-back, leaving the midfield alone.Fran Mickiel Smicer also quickly crossed the middle of the penalty area without the slightest hesitation.Dirk Dirk, Franck Ribéry, Lars Diarra were all waiting everywhere in the box.
