Chapter 3 Seventy: The gap with the top European giants?
"Mario Gotze!!! Brilliant, the goal is scored!!!"

"At the beginning of the second half, the German genius Gotze expanded the score for Bayern Munich. Now it is [-]-[-], and Southampton is in danger."

"Compared with giants like Bayern Munich, Southampton, a newcomer to the Champions League, still has a long way to go."

"In fact, we saw that Guardiola's Bayern Munich still retained a large part of the main players in this game. At least the combination of Muller and Ribeiro in the frontcourt did not play. But this is the team of veterans and young players. The combination scored two goals for the Saints in less than 10 minutes, this is the strength of the top European giants."

"In the Premier League, Southampton often played against old giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, as well as European upstarts such as Chelsea and Manchester City. But we rarely saw them being beaten so helplessly. The only time was the game against Manchester United at the beginning of last season. Although they were scored twice by Manchester United in the early stage of that game, the final result was a counterattack against the Red Devils. The Saints won at their home court. to three points."

Charlotte's frown has been frowning since the 10th minute of the game, and he has planned for this European Super Cup game from the beginning.For the giants, this award is also a tasteless event. Top giants like Bayern Munich will not do their best for this kind of event, so he knew from the beginning that Guardiola would have reservations.

For this game, Charlotte still attaches great importance to it. There is no way to say that the saints' wall of honor is poor and white. The UEFA Super Cup is definitely a trophy to be happy for the club's executives and fans. The popularity of this trophy is comparable to that of the community. "Friendly matches" like the Shield Cup are much more important.

Therefore, the starting lineup opportunity arranged by Charlotte is full of rights. Higuain, Aubameyang, Rodriguez and Eriksson have all played, and they are in good condition.You must know that in order to prepare for today's Super Cup, Charlotte did not arrange this offensive line combination into the squad in the first round of the League Cup a few days ago. Only Eriksson was in that game. After playing for 45 minutes, it can be said that he has retained 80.00% of his strength.

But Charlotte did not expect that Jose Fonte, who has always been calm and has a general style in the backcourt, will make a fatal mistake.In the penalty area, he brought down Shaqiri with the ball, and was fouled by the referee and gave the opponent a penalty.

Fortunately, Jose Fonte's action was not very big, and the referee took the lead and did not show him a red card, but a yellow card.

Shaqiri is very short, very short!Swiss youngsters who are only 1.6 meters nine belong to that kind of "short" even in football, a sport that does not require absolute height.In Charlotte's words, he is short-legged.But this kind of player has a characteristic, that is, low center of gravity, fast speed, and often uses fake moves to confuse and knock down opponents with continuous sides.

This is what the Premier League often calls the "little fast spirit". What's more, although Shaqiri is short, he has a very strong body. It can be seen at a glance that he is very strong.So even if you want to block the position with your body, it is very difficult to squeeze the opponent away. He is not a "weak chicken" in terms of physical muscle confrontation.

And this penalty was because Shaqiri swayed away Jose Fonte several times in a row. After being swayed by the opponent, Fonte wanted to squeeze the opponent away, causing Shaqiri to lose contact with football.But in the first confrontation, the opponent was very stable, and Wundt did not squeeze the opponent away. As a result, Wundt used too much force in the second confrontation, causing an obvious foul.

Facing the penalty kicked by Pizarro, although Reina rushed in the right direction, but the speed was slower, and the Peruvian veteran scored the ball.

In fact, the penalty kick was taken throughout the first half, and my team played very well.Several waves of Bayern Munich's offensive have failed, and their own side has entered the opponent's threat zone a lot.Among them, there were two kicks that were very dangerous for the opponent, but in the end they were all thrown out by Neuer who opened the hang.

In Charlotte's view, he is still very satisfied with the team's performance in this game.However, there was an unexpected penalty kick in Naihe. Originally, he wanted to grind slowly with the opponent, and it was only in the last 10 minutes that he fought Bayern Munich to decide his life and death.

The penalty kick in the first half disrupted Charlotte's plan a bit, so the conceded goal in the second half completely forced Charlotte to start making changes, otherwise the game would come to an end.

He had already warned his players during the intermission, don't be impatient and don't attack too hard.The opponent is Bayern Munich, not Norwich or Sunderland. Once the opponent is allowed to seize the space and opportunity, the opponent will rarely miss this opportunity.

But I didn't expect that the Southampton players who had just started to get the ball in the second half still launched a wave of violent offensive in a hurry, and finally Bayern Munich seized the opportunity to fight back.

Toni Kroos's pass found Gotze on the spot, and Gotze and Pizarro came up with a two-on-one kick to the wall and finally got the ball in before Nkuru.

Charlotte said to her assistant Wilkins: "Let Anthony come back and get ready to play!"

At the beginning of the second half, Charlotte asked all the players on the bench to warm up, in order to deal with some emergencies and go directly to the field without delaying the warm-up.

Charlotte has always been very decisive when making substitutions. He never hesitated, or let the substitute players warm up for too long. All players on the bench will be warmed up.

But Charlotte didn't expect that Griezmann was still running back from the warm-up area, but Guardiola was already making substitutions.

"Bayern Munich, leading by two goals, began to make substitution adjustments. The midfielder Tony Kroos was replaced by Thiago Alcantara, a 22-year-old young man who just joined the team this season. He is a midfielder produced by Barcelona's youth academy. It can be said that he is Guardiola's confidant, and he was directly dug from Barcelona after he became the head coach of Bayern Munich."

Schweinsteiger did not play in this game, so Toni Kroos is naturally the absolute boss of Bayern Munich's midfield.

Martin Hunt, who was in charge of tactics, came over and told Charlotte at this time: "They were also warming up at the beginning of the second half. In addition to Thiago, there were also young German teenagers Michael Weiser and Patrick Werauch."

"Weize and Werauch?" Although Charlotte came from a sports university in Germany, she often watched Bundesliga and Champions League games.But he is not familiar with all Bundesliga players, let alone some players who are not well-known.

Tony Cotton, who is mainly responsible for collecting intelligence in the coaching staff, came up to explain to Charlotte: "They are all young players, only 19 years old. Wei Rauch is from the Bayern youth training and plays the forward position. Wei Ze is from the Cologne youth team. Last time I played in the Bundesliga in Kaiserslautern, and this season I moved to Bayern Munich to play as a defender."

"We saw Charlotte and his assistants gathered around, as if discussing tactics? Tony Cotton, Martin Hunt, Ajestaran, Le Tissier, the veteran who retired due to injury at Southampton Gary Monk and first assistant coach Wilkins, these people are the main members of Charlotte's coaching staff, and there is a young John Best who is holding a computer and tablet in charge of data analysis sitting behind. These are Charlotte’s right-hand man, at the end of last season, some media asked what the secret of Charlotte’s success was, and Charlotte said it was because he had a group of talented players and a bunch of talented assistants!” At this time, the broadcaster showed Xia Luo the camera. On Luo's side, Zhan Jun looked at Charlotte and his coaching staff who were surrounded by a circle to block the cameras.

The Premier League Encyclopedia is not a bragging, and because of Charlotte’s relationship, he can also call out the names of every member of Charlotte’s coaching staff and their previous stories, even the youth team coach Jason Dodd and Nick Harvey, the physical coach and head of the medical team who rarely shows up, knows that when Southampton was still training in Chengdu, Zhan Jun and a friend of Charlotte in the football commentary circle visited him. Naturally, I also had conversations with these coaching staff members.

"Should we wait and see?" Wilkins asked.

Charlotte shook her head: "That damned bald head must be the same as our previous games, with the intention of training young people and running the lineup. Except for Thiago, the other two players can almost be counted as youth team members. Yes. I guess the two of them surnamed Wei will not play more than fifteen games this season. In this game, the center forward is Pizarro, who is about 35 years old, and the center back is Van Buyten, who is already 35 years old. So his thoughts It is to replace these two veterans who are not very physically fit, and by the way, train the young people when the victory is already locked." Charlotte gritted her teeth and said the last sentence.

Members of the coaching staff who are familiar with Charlotte know that once Charlotte starts swearing and swearing, it is either when he is very angry or when he is already a little anxious.But whether it is angry or anxious, it means that Charlotte needs to make a change.

"Don't change, let Anthony play directly! Now, immediately!" Charlotte roared.

Wilkins immediately came to Griezmann, who was taking off his training shirt, with a tablet computer. He kept pointing and sliding his fingers on the tablet computer, explaining to him the tactics and points to pay attention to after playing. .

"We saw Griezmann ready to play, who would he replace? Aubameyang or Rodriguez? Anyway, it can't be Higuain." Sky Sports' Martin Taylor saw the scene Wilkins and Griezmann on the side.
