I brush achievements in football

Arsenal are indeed still in labor pains.

Arteta is actually quite suitable for them, but Arteta has an unavoidable problem that before coaching Arsenal, he has been working as an assistant coach for Guardiola and lacks experience in coaching the first team, so he must need A lot of time, during this period, both he and Arsenal need to sway in pain.

But fortunately, although Kroenke is quite unkind in dealing with Wenger, as the boss, he is quite patient and willing to give the coach enough time.

Arteta is lucky to have such a space, which also allows him to better promote his tactics.

In this game, he sent a three-four-three lineup. This lineup is quite bold. Although three guards are popular now, there are still not many who dare to play three-four-three.

Goalkeeper Gulac, the three defenders are Holding, Gabriel and Tierney, the two wingers are Niles and the teenager Saka, the center is partnered by Ceballos and Elneny, and the two wingers It's Pepe and Aubameyang, and the center is the young Nketiah.

The young coaches transformed from the two former players of Manchester United and Arsenal are very willing to use young players. In fact, this is also a very remarkable thing, including Lampard. Although his coaching performance is not very good, he reuses Mount and others. Young players have also cultivated many outstanding young players.

These young players may not be particularly outstanding in terms of performance, but in terms of enthusiasm, they are still quite outstanding.

In this game, Saka was quite active.

He kept taking the ball on the wing, and then used his breakthrough to create opportunities. In this way, he, who often moves on the left, met Cancelo.

After all, on this side, Valverde is a winger. Although he has good defensive ability, he will not always retreat to reduce the threat of counterattack.

Cancelo's defense is not particularly good, but over the years, he has not had any major problems on the right side, which can prove his comprehensiveness.

However, Saka's breakthrough still created a lot of threats.

Cancelo didn't mean to underestimate the opponent, but under the opponent's breakthrough, he suffered two small losses as soon as he came up.

For the first time, Saka pretended to make a lateral breakthrough after receiving the ball from the side, which attracted Cancelo's attention, but changed to the bottom, and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Fortunately, De Ligt struck the ball in time go out.

In the second shot, Saka pretended to pass the ball after taking the ball from the side, distracting Cancelo's attention, and then passed the ball low and flat again into the penalty area. Martin attacked and intercepted the ball halfway.

After being passed by Saka successfully in a row, Cancelo couldn't hold back, so when Saka was about to break through for the third time, he greeted him unceremoniously, and then hit Saka's leg in the entanglement, making him The England teenager fell to the ground in pain...

This action was warned by the referee, but an experienced player like Cancelo knows that when dealing with young players, such a ruthless move is enough to make the opponent start to become jealous.

In fact, the same is true. After Saka was hit by Cancelo for a while, he became much quieter next.

Once the active Saka starts to become inactive, then of course Arsenal's offense will start to be affected a lot.

Arsenal's offense began to sink into the quagmire, and Southampton's offense began to become active.

De Bruyne had a nice through ball in midfield, but Gulacci struck just in time to keep the ball under him.

Vinicius took the ball from the side, but under the careful marking of the opponent, he passed the ball to Chilwell who followed behind. Chilwell directly passed the ball to the back of the penalty area. Wade shook his head and attacked the goal, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

After Southampton's offensive gradually started, the threat they could create became quite huge.

This also made Arsenal fans start to feel nervous.

This is Southampton's deterrent.

Deterrence sounds a little illusory, but it actually plays a very important role. It will affect the opponent's performance and make it easier for the side to play.

Vinicius took the ball again and started to break through, and then was brought down by the opponent's defender-maybe it was because of the excellent performance of the opponent's younger Saka before, and Vinicius also had some intentions to compete.

De Bruyne took the free kick. Instead of passing the ball into the penalty area, he chose to shoot directly at the angle when the angle was not very good!

This was beyond Gulac's expectation. He was quite familiar with De Bruyne, but it was precisely because of this familiarity that he did not expect De Bruyne to hit the goal directly at such an angle, but this The difficulty of shooting from such an angle is indeed very high, but Gulac still reacted and punched the ball out with both fists!

The ball flew out of the penalty area. Grealish intercepted the ball and lobbed it directly to the goal, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar, which made the Southampton fans who came from afar sigh.

The Arsenal fans clapped their hands fortunately. Southampton's offensive pressure is indeed very high, but it's our turn to attack next, right?

And that seemed to be the case, Arsenal quickly launched a counter-attack. After a quick pass back and forth in the frontcourt, the ball came to the feet of Nketiah who switched to the wing. , but under the flanking and pressing of Cancelo and Araujo, the threat of this shot was not great, and the ball was easily confiscated by Martin.

Tierney had a through pass in the midfield and wanted to find Saka who was going forward, but Araujo moved laterally in time and broke the ball halfway.

After stealing the ball, Araujo passed it straight to De Bruyne in front of him. De Bruyne did not stop the ball, but passed it to Valverde who retreated to respond. Valverde took the ball and turned around without warning. Under the circumstances, the ball was passed directly behind Arsenal's defense line!

This extremely sudden through ball made Arsenal's defense unable to react. They didn't turn around until Vinicius received the pass behind Arsenal's defense!

Such a reaction, of course, can't stop Vinicius, who is in good shape in this game.

After receiving the ball, the Brazilian boy took the ball and broke into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Gulaci, Vinicius stretched out his foot while running, and the ball jumped up obediently, and then from the attacking Gulaci Qi flew over his head and quickly fell into the gate of Arsenal!

One to zero, Southampton scored the first goal in No.18 minutes of the first half!
