Chapter 331: Benitez's ominous premonition

When Benitez saw De Bruyne on the sidelines listening to the opponent's assistant coach explain tactics, he had a bad feeling in his heart.Because so far, Sturridge and De Bruyne, two former Chelsea players and Chelsea's current loan at Southampton, have given him a lot of bad impressions.

Looking at the watch, there are still a few minutes before the end of the first half.Benitez was not in a hurry to adjust, he wanted to use these few minutes to see what the young man on the opposite side was playing when he fell to the ground.

"Huh? Replaced Sturridge???" Zhan Jun was very surprised: "Sturridge performed very well today, and he also scored an assist. He is the best player in Southampton so far. Is it unwise to replace him at this time?"

"We have not received news of Sturridge's injury. Judging from the four 10-minute games and the observation of Sturridge, the England international does not show signs of injury. Charlotte's substitution is a few What do you mean?" Even Alan Hansen was confused: "Could it be because of the transfer scandal between Liverpool and Sturridge some time ago?"

As an authentic Red Army star, it is difficult for Alan Hansen to choose between his old lover Liverpool and his new lover Southampton.He hopes to see outstanding young players such as Sturridge and Lallana go to Liverpool to contribute to the Red Army's league championship, but he does not want to cause Southampton's performance to decline too much.

When Sturridge was off the field, he whispered a few words to De Bruyne on the sidelines, and then hugged Charlotte who came up.Such a move also broke the media reporters who wanted to hype the rift between Sturridge and Charlotte.

De Bruyne went to the wing after playing, Lallana can return to the central midfielder position, and the center is also Icardi's single arrow.

However, after the substitution, Southampton did not slow down because of this, but continued to launch a fierce attack towards Chelsea's half. The difference is that this time the task of hitting the opponent's defense fell on Aubameyang.

Players who are familiar with Southampton understand that Southampton has always dominated the entire game with speed.Although the high-intensity, high-speed and high-explosive offense cannot sustain the entire game, their average speed is the fastest compared to other teams.At the same time at the beginning and end of each half, their speed was at its peak.

Southampton is still in a continuous offensive posture, while Chelsea still stabilize their defense first.

Icardi's shot was blocked by Terry, and De Bruyne's follow-up shot was also confiscated by goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Cech immediately threw the football out, signaling his teammates to quickly launch a counterattack.

Seeing Chelsea's players quickly press out from their own half, Charlotte was not worried at all, but smiled instead.Because he noticed that the smart Schneiderlin and Wanyama did not press very forward, especially Schneiderlin, who still maintained his defensive midfielder position, and Wanyama was slightly ahead of him.

Ramirez avoided Lallana's on-the-spot counterattack, but when he wanted to dribble the ball, he was quickly entangled by Lallana, so the Brazilian midfielder could only pass the football.

Lampard received the ball, and he gestured for his teammates to continue approaching the frontcourt.Carvajal just pressed a little forward, and this position is no longer easy to go back. He made a gesture to Wanyama in the backcourt and then killed Lampard with a diagonal stab.

Wanyama naturally understood what the Spanish full-back meant, and he immediately retreated to help his teammates make up for it.Hazard is in this position, so he naturally dare not be careless.

Carvajal was in front of Lampard in no time, and the magic lamp tried to get away with two feints.Even though he had lied to the opponent, the Spaniard was as difficult to deal with as candy, and he quickly followed up. He couldn't run the opponent when he was dribbling the ball.

At this time, Lampard saw Hazard raising his hand for the ball on the wing. He immediately sent the football over, and then began to move forward decisively towards the center.

Carvajal hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Schneiderlin in the middle gesturing towards him, he decisively returned to his side, intending to pinch Hazard back and forth with Wanyama.

Chelsea's counterattack did not cause much trouble for Southampton, Wanyama grabbed the ball from Hazard's feet.The Belgian midfielder's technique and speed are good, but his physical confrontation ability is slightly insufficient, which is why Hazard is often violated in the Premier League.

You yourself are thin, so naturally you can't blame your opponent for being too barbaric.Chelsea play in the Premier League, not Serie A
Wanyama did not have the help of Carvajal behind Hazard. When the Belgian received the ball, the Kenyan animal waist directly stuck to it, and then grabbed the opponent's jersey in a hidden place to prevent the opponent from easily taking advantage of it. Gao exploded and threw himself away, and then began to entangle with Hazard.

Soon, Wanyama, who had a physical advantage, slightly squeezed Hazard towards the outside, and then used this opportunity to destroy the football at the opponent's feet.

When Lampard saw something was wrong, he immediately turned around and returned to the backcourt. He knew that his speed was not dominant, so he could only "fly the slow bird first".

Ramirez sprinted towards the point where the ball was destroyed by Wanyama, and he was still very confident in his speed.It's just that Schneiderlin's distance is much closer than that of the Brazilian midfielder, so the French midfielder got the football before the opponent.

Ramirez didn't slow down, and accelerated towards Schneiderlin who got the ball, and then fell to the ground with a sliding shovel.

This action is already very dangerous. If you don't pay attention, as long as you don't take the first step to tackle the football, it will easily be a yellow card to bring the opponent.

Schneiderlin's reaction was quick, and he didn't seem to use an excellent counterattack opportunity in exchange for a yellow card from the opponent's midfielder.Ramirez has no cards at the moment, so being shown a yellow card is nothing to him.

Schneiderlin directly teleported to the front court with one foot over the top, and then turned sideways to avoid the opponent's flying shovel.

Lallana came up with a very imaginative pick. Lampard was shaken by the opponent. When he wanted to continue chasing, Lallana had already pulled the distance away. There was no way, he was already old. not young anymore.

Mikel confronted Lallana who was dribbling the ball. There were only two central defenders behind him, so even if it was a foul, he couldn't let the opponent dribble past him.It's just that I have a yellow card on my body, so I must act smaller when fouling, and it will be troublesome to be shown a second yellow card.

While Mikel was still thinking about the "correct posture for fouling", Lallana had already sent the ball to Icardi's feet in the frontcourt.

The Argentine center forward got the football with his back to the attacking direction, but Ivanovic quickly stuck up to prevent the opponent from turning around.

Lallana quickly moved forward and raised his hand to ask for Icardi to cooperate with him in kicking the wall.Mikel looked very nervous, he followed Lallana one step at a time, highly concentrated his attention and prepared to appear on the trajectory of the football to destroy the ball when Icardi passed the ball.

But the Argentine center did not pass the ball back to Lallana, but knocked the football vigorously with his heel.The chubby football rolled from between Ivanovic and Terry to behind them. Ivanovic himself didn't stretch his legs very far to prevent the opponent from wearing his own shield.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't intend to wear the crotch, but found the small gap between him and his partner.

Aubameyang has already jumped quickly from Azpilicueta's side, then rushed into the penalty area with a diagonal stab, and received the football behind the two central defenders.

The Gabon international didn't take a direct shot, but took a step towards the inside of the penalty area. At this time, Cech had already moved over to block the opponent's shot.

Azpilicueta behind him also outflanked Aubameyang. If Aubameyang shot directly, the Spanish full-back had nothing to do, but the opponent took a step and adjusted to give himself time.

"Slow!! Aubameyang should hit the goal directly! If Sturridge is on the court, this ball must be a direct shot. Although it is not sure that it will definitely score, but at least it will bring the opponent A big threat, according to his excellent shooting skills this season, the possibility of scoring is still very high. But this position has become Aubameyang. Hey!" Martin Taylor felt a little regretful.

Azpilicueta, who came in front of Aubameyang, immediately wanted to poke the ball at the opponent's feet. Because he was in the penalty area, he was not easy to foul, and if he didn't pay attention, he would give a penalty kick.

Aubameyang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, pushed Azpilicueta slightly with his hand and sent the ball with his foot.

"Shoot!!. Huh??"

Football is not running towards the goal of football. Petr Cech has already thrown it before realizing that the ball is not coming directly towards the goal.

It was a far corner, but Aubameyang did not hit the far corner of the goal, but passed the ball to the far post of the goal.

De Bruyne in this position has already stood in his position. He didn't stop the ball when he faced the flying football. Instead, he swung his dominant foot directly, and swung the football with Cech's horrified eyes.

Cech in front of the goal has fallen to the ground, he can only watch the football fly towards him but he can do nothing.

"De Bruyne!!"

When watching the football fly towards Belgium to attack the midfielder, Benitez cursed indistinctly on the sidelines: "I knew it, I knew it!!"

The football flew into the unguarded goal, Cech hammered hard on the grass, the tank soldier was very unhappy, and the opponent scored two goals after only halftime of the game.
