Chapter 367 : The new season begins! !
The first league game of the new season is in the middle of August, starting on August 45th.The opening ceremony of this season's league is Liverpool's game against Stoke City. Their game will start at [-]:[-] GMT on the same day, and the sun is still shining in Liverpool at this time.

Five games will start at the same time, at [-]pm GMT.It’s about ten o’clock in the evening in Beijing time, but this time is still acceptable for Chinese fans. You can sleep after watching it without staying up late.

Manchester United's game became today's finale, the last to be played.The matches between Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City will be held on the next day.

Southampton's game is among those five, which also includes Arsenal's game against Aston Villa.

"Welcome to the first round of the 2013-2014 English Premier League presented by ICU Sports, West Bromwich Albion against Southampton. I am Zhan Jun."

"I-See-You, I see you, I see the world. The exciting matches of the Premier League and the Champions League this season will be accompanied by ICU for a wonderful season!"

Today's Southampton game was brought to you by Zhan Jun. He just explained the opening match between Liverpool and Stoke City with Li Yuankui. bingo.But because Director Li is too old, it is not easy for Zhan Jun to let his old man talk about two games almost continuously, so this game is a stand-up by himself.

Huang Jianxiang was commenting on another match between Arsenal and Aston Villa. The copyrights bought by ICU are basically the broadcast rights of the giants, so their slogan is to only bring the most exciting matches to the fans.

As we all know, Huang Jianxiang is very good at Serie A.He himself is also a fan of Italy, even fans who don't know it should know clearly after hearing about the game between Australia and Italy.So he doesn't know much about the Premier League. After deciding to sign a contract with ICU this summer to commentate on the Champions League and the Premier League, Huang Jianxiang himself did a lot of homework at home and spent the whole summer on sorting out materials.

"After a long wait for the summer, fans in England and the world can't wait to vent their enthusiasm for football, especially this summer there is no major national team competition, the only thing that can be watched is the Confederations Cup So everyone is looking forward to the new season."

"The Hawthorn Stadium is almost full of seats. Last season they achieved the ninth best result in the league, so the fans are more enthusiastic this season. But this also has something to do with the fact that their home stadium is too small. The Hawthorn Stadium Only [-] fans can enter the stadium to watch”

"This is the first game of the new season for the defending Premier League champion Southampton. Unfortunately, it is an away game."

Although the opponent in this game is not considered a strong team, Charlotte still sent the main lineup to play. After all, the schedule of the two or three rounds of the league start is not tight. At this time, the main players should make a good start.

Ter Stegen in goal, captain Jose Fonte and Nkuru at the back, Danny Rose and Danilo at full-back, Pogba and Schneiderlin in midfield, The front midfielder is Elkeson, and the two sides are Aubameyang and Rodriguez. The single arrow in front is Higuain.

It's strange to say that players like Aubameyang, Sturridge and Griezmann are basically center forwards, but after coming to Southampton, Charlotte often let them appear on the wing, and occasionally started. Will go to the center position.
Even the teenager Harry Kane is now a player who can hit both sides.But even if they are placed on the wing, the abilities of these players have not been weakened in the slightest.On the contrary, when a speed player like Aubameyang is counterattacking, he hits the space behind the opponent and inserts diagonally 45 from the side near the center, often catching the opponent by surprise.

Originally, West Bromwich Albion was not a strong team, and their strength plummeted even more after leaving Lukaku.

The Saints defeated their opponents with a score of [-]-[-] without bloodshed. Higuain and Rodriguez each scored a goal, while Pogba and Eriksson each got an assist.

In the second half, Charlotte replaced Danilo with Chambers. After a summer of training, Danilo and his teammates have not had a chemical reaction. in place.

Then at No. 60 minutes, Charlotte replaced Florenzi and Griezmann, replacing Schneiderlin and Aubameyang respectively.

The reason for replacing Florenzi is naturally to give Roma Sao Nian more opportunities, and replacing Griezmann is purely dissatisfied with Aubameyang.During the first period of the training camp, the Gabonese were a little lazy and absent-minded, but after Charlotte's beating, they recovered their state and adjusted their mentality in the second half of the training camp.

It's just that Charlotte didn't expect that he was a little lazy again in this game. He didn't try to run hard in the frontcourt and running positions several times, which caused the Saints to be a little passive on the left. When the wing was inserted into the side, he did not distribute the football to the opponent in time.

Then Aubameyang was intercepted by the opponent and hit a counterattack. If Ter Stegen hadn't played normally, the goal would probably have been scored.

In fact, Southampton exposed many problems in this game, the most obvious of which is the team's coordination problem.After Lallana left, Charlotte supported Pogba and Eriksson as the core of the midfield.

Among them, Eriksson's pass scheduling has two brushes, so he is responsible for the team's sorting out of the offensive line and control of the rhythm, while Pogba relies on the coordination of short shots and dribbling. attack.

But in this game, the cooperation between the two is not tacit enough, and there are often overlaps in the division of labor.Even many times, the two can be seen in the same area and the same route of the ball. If their vision is not wide enough, Charlotte doubts that they can collide on the court.

And Eriksson is still a little unfamiliar with the running position of his teammates, so he often sees him passing the ball to his teammates but he doesn't realize it, and he doesn't run.Either his teammates had already started running, and he passed the ball. In this way, the ball was passed behind his teammates too late, or he was offside by the opponent's defense.

At the same time, Higuain also has some problems. His running in the front court is not active enough.After losing the ball, he did not invest in the counterattack immediately, and the pressure on the opposing central defender was not enough. The central defender could even take the ball easily.

The most critical thing is the problem of position. When Aubameyang, Griezmann and Rodriguez on the wing cut in with the ball or run towards the center, Higuain in the center position did not The running position gives them space and attracts the opponent's defensive force. The Argentines just stay in the middle "honestly"
Charlotte has told Higuain about this many times, but he still habitually stays in the middle and rarely cooperates with his teammates.

Whenever this time, Charlotte misses Sturridge and Icardi, and even Lambert before.
Although Higuain doesn't like Charlotte's way of playing to let him help the opponent's defense when necessary and to open up space for his teammates.But he had promised Charlotte before that he would try his best to work towards this.

After all, before the transfer, Charlotte and Higuain had talked about tactics and how to use him, and Higuain also agreed to this, otherwise the transfer would not be successful.

The Argentine center is also looking for changes and breakthroughs, otherwise he would not choose to leave Real Madrid.So he still wants to try Charlotte's request, but when it comes to the real game, the inertia of his body and mind will often force him to temporarily use the previous tactical requirements before the game.
For this point, Charlotte can only shake her head helplessly. Higuain is already 26 years old, and his technical characteristics have also been finalized.At the same time, I have been playing like this for so many years, so I am not used to suddenly changing a style of play.So it will take time to change him little by little, as well as newcomers like Elkeson and Danilo.
The opponents in the friendly matches in China were too weak, so many problems were not exposed at that time.Once you encounter a Premier League team, these problems will slowly come out.Fortunately, they encountered a weak team in the first round. If they encountered traditional powerhouses such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal, then it is possible that Southampton's unbeaten Premier League will end here. A game starts with a loss.

At the press conference after the game, Charlotte was not blinded by the victory. He said bluntly: "We didn't play well enough in this game. We made a lot of mistakes. Many people only saw that we won, but the professional People should be able to see that our performance is not good enough. There are still many problems in coordination, and the players' understanding of tactics is not yet thorough. However, I believe that as time goes by, these problems can be resolved with the improvement of players' running-in efficiency. "

"After all, our lineup has changed a lot this season. We have a lot of new players. For the new environment, new teammates and new tactics, these will take time. However... I am very happy to get three points, After all, this symbolizes a good start for our relegation career this season."

"Fuck, I'm saving my character again!!" Many reporters complained in their hearts.

It's just that the head coach of West Bromwich Albion, Steve Clarke, had an ugly expression: "Fuck, you beat us two to zero and you still said that you didn't perform well. If you really performed well, wouldn't you want to come here Big score and massacre?"
