Chapter 136: Steak with red wine, Premier League with Zhan Jun!
"Welcome everyone to the new Wembley Stadium in London, England. Now you are watching the 2011-2012 FA Cup semi-finals brought to you by Sina Sports, the match between Liverpool and Southampton. My name is Zhan Jun!"

"Liverpool were lucky in this game, they were drawn to the home dressing room at Wembley Stadium, which means they will also be playing in the traditional home jersey. For Southampton, who also has a red jersey, this is certainly not the case. What a good thing, because it means that they can only wear their away yellow jerseys in this game." Zhan Jun briefly introduced.

Then he smiled in the camera: "Of course, I know that the focus of everyone's concern is not this, but the visiting team Southampton!"

"In the past few months, Southampton, who plays in England's sub-divisions and the Championship, has attracted a lot of domestic attention. To put it bluntly, his popularity in China is no less than that of Chelsea and Manchester City. The newly promoted giants, but they are still playing in the second tier league, and there is no domestic broadcast."

"The reason for this is naturally their head coach. The head coach of Southampton, a century-old traditional England team, is a Chinese head coach. His name is Charlotte. Everyone knows about Charlotte some time ago. The inspirational story that is very popular on the Internet was also reported by our Sina Sports.”

"Charlotte, who is about to celebrate her 24th birthday, is an authentic Chinese. He was born in Chengdu, our land of abundance. He was admitted to the Sports Institute of the University of Cologne in Germany through excellent grades in college. According to his hobbies since childhood He chose football as a major."

"If you can get into the famous Cologne Sports School, then you are naturally a top student. During college, Jean not only successfully completed his studies and got a bachelor's degree, but also obtained a FIFA A-level coach through a part-time course. At the same time, he has also learned six foreign languages ​​including German, English, French, etc. The world of a top student is beyond the imagination of our scumbags." At this point, even Zhan Jun laughed.

"After graduating, Charlotte naturally wants to be a football coach. It is said that this is his biggest dream born after he was deemed unsuitable for playing football by his teacher when he was a child. In the words that Charlotte joked, people If there is no dream, then what is the difference with salted fish. Therefore, Charlotte insisted on chasing his own dream."

"It is really difficult for a young man who has just graduated from university and is from China, where football is not very developed, to find a job as a coach in Germany, where football is highly developed. If Charlotte didn't own the Cologne Sports School He may not even be able to get in when he applies for his graduation certificate and FIFA’s A-level coaching certificate. Therefore, our college students in front of the TV should pay attention, even though various certificates seem to be Not much use, but it is the best stepping stone in the society you were born into."

"But even so, Charlotte also hit a lot of walls. He found a total of 36 clubs in the Bundesliga and 21 clubs in the Bundesliga, but none of them offered him a job. You must know that the entire Bundesliga and Bundesliga There are only [-] clubs in total, and Charlotte has found [-] of them. It can be said that he has traveled all over Germany. The best news is that the local club Cologne, where he is studying in the city, intends to let him join the youth team coaching staff , but was rejected by Charlotte herself."

"Charlotte, who never thought of giving up, with a tough heart and his persistent dream, left Germany, flew across the English Channel and came to England."

"Here, he still hit the wall everywhere. He looked for Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and other Championship teams, but he still found nothing. In the end, he came to the south coast of England. At this time, he only had One hundred pounds, if he still can't find a coaching job, then he may have to go to the restaurant to wash dishes or wipe glasses in the bar to cope with his financial crisis, it is said that he has already prepared a small job in London preparation."

"Opportunities always belong to those who are prepared and persistent in their pursuit. This sentence has been perfectly reflected in Charlotte. Southampton, who has just been promoted from the League One to the Championship, encounters Birmingham, which has been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship. The poaching is indeed the Birmingham team bought by Yang Jiacheng, a rich man in Hong Kong, and the head coach and coaching staff of Southampton collectively quit."

"At this time, Charlotte came to the door. It is said that Southampton rejected Charlotte at first, but they were forced to have no contact with the new head coach, so they temporarily gave him the position of acting head coach, but Charlotte Seizing this opportunity, he got a formal contract from Southampton by virtue of his excellent coaching performance. This is also the highest level of competition that a Chinese coach has coached abroad. Although Southampton is not considered a giant in the UK, it is She is a club with a long history that cannot be bypassed in the history of English football."

"At present, Southampton, led by Charlotte, has won the Championship six rounds ahead of schedule. At present, they have achieved 31 wins, eight draws and three losses. Southampton, who has scored [-] points, is also England's first. The championship team with the third most points in a single season in the second-tier league, they are only five points behind the championship team with the highest points. Before the season is over, Charlotte and his saints still have a chance Hit this record."

"Although they were eliminated by the relegated Blackpool early in the League Cup, they defeated West Bromwich Albion and Everton in the FA Cup. In the semi-finals, their opponent is also the Premier League giants Liverpool in this game."

"Liverpool still haven't won in the league this season, and it seems that even at the end of the season, they will not be able to qualify for the top four Champions League, so for Liverpool, the FA Cup, which they didn't think much before, has become a sweet spot. The pastry is also the life-saving straw of the head coach Dalglish."

"So for Charlotte and his Southampton, this game is more or less ominous. Of course, even if it loses, it doesn't matter. After all, Southampton was a League One team a year ago. Playing in England's third-tier league, it is a great success for Charlotte to be able to bring a newly promoted team into the Premier League, and he is still a hero in the eyes of the Saints." Before the game even started, Zhan Jun I'm starting to find some reasons for Charlotte's failure.

Of course, in his opinion, there is nothing shameful about losing to Liverpool. For Southampton, being able to stand on this stadium today is already a kind of victory.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great.
The program of Sina Sports was broadcast in advance, and did not wait until the game was about to start before broadcasting live.Allow enough time for Zhan Jun to give an introduction to Charlotte, interspersed with a lot of Southampton game highlights this season and some interview videos of Southampton players and fans. Highlights of England's interview with Charlotte.

"I just got the starting list of both sides. There is no accident. For the Red Army, which is determined to win the FA Cup, all the main players are deployed. In the four-four-two formation, the goalkeeper is the Spanish veteran Reina, and the two central defenders are team deputy Carragher and Slovakia. The tough guy Skrtel, the left back is the Brazilian Aurelio, and the right back is Glenn Johnson. The midfield partner is the Red Army soul Steven Gerrard and the Brazilian midfielder Lucas, and the left midfielder is England's native magic wing Stewart · Downing, on the right is the teenager Henderson. The two center forwards are Uruguay striker Luis Suarez and Dutch veteran Kevin Dirk.”

"This lineup is almost Liverpool's main lineup this season, except that the Scottish Charlie Adam, who performed well in midfield this season, was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and the other positions have not changed much, among them Carragher and Aurelio. The veterans are also sitting in the backcourt, and their positions in the league are more replaced by Jose Enrique and Daniel Agger in their prime."

"Andy Carroll on the front line was originally going to take over from the veteran Dirk Dirk, but this season, the native high center in England performed very mediocre, not as good as the veteran Dirk, so his future is also quite confused. "

"As for Southampton, the starting center forward is their leading striker Lambert, who is currently the top scorer in the Championship. On the side is Sturridge, who was abandoned by Chelsea, on the right is the magic flying wing Al Ganassi of Belgium, the central midfielder is Jack Cork, a young midfielder produced by Chelsea's youth training, and the two defensive midfielders behind him are divided by France Schneiderlin and Kenya's black and tough Wanyama. The center back partner is the Portuguese. Their Jose Fonte partner is another ex-Chelsea player. The Dutch teenager Bruma. The left back is the former Tottenham youngster Danny. Rose, on the right is the Spanish teenager Carvajal, a product of Real Madrid's youth training, and the goalkeeper is the German kid Ter Stegen."

"From the point of view of this formation, it is a four-three-three formation that is biased towards defensive counterattacks. Fans who know Southampton know that this season Charlotte's Saints use more attacking formations of four-two-three-one, but today's formation is so A double midfielder may even be considered a formation of three midfielders, it seems that Charlotte has also made some targeted changes for Liverpool."

"This is a more pragmatic formation. Facing opponents with great disparity in strength, defensive counterattack is the best way. So it seems that Charlotte is not arrogant. The opponent is Liverpool pressing out is tantamount to death."

"Okay, we have received a signal from London, let's cut the screen to London Wembley Stadium, the live broadcast venue of this game." Zhan Jun's voice became more and more "distant", and the Wembley Stadium appeared on the screen On the screen, the attendance rate of the 9-person stadium seems to be high today, and there are not many vacancies. The screen also shows the virtual formation map of the match between the two sides.
