Chapter 377: Saints' "Plan C"!
After the national team match day is the fourth round of the Premier League. The opponent in this game is West Ham United.This is the old enemy of Charlotte and the Saints. The current Saints are no longer a team at the same level as West Ham United, so although the opponent is his "enemy", Charlotte is only a substitute player sent play.

It seems that the players who have finished playing the national team game are all sitting on the bench, and the injured Higuain is naturally still recovering from his injury, but players like Rodriguez and Nkuru who have a long distance from the national team training and are physically tired They were not selected for the big list, and Charlotte gave them ample time to rest.

Lukaku, Sterling and Harry Kane, Jack Cork and Florenzi all played.

But even this rotation of the Hammers seemed powerless. They lost to their opponents by three goals at St. Mary's Stadium.Allardyce naturally had some verbal "communication" with Charlotte before and after the game, but Charlotte ignored him.

To be honest, the current Southampton is really unable to "play happily" with a team like West Ham United. Even being the enemy Hammer seems a bit unqualified, so Charlotte directly ignored the opponent.

If Wenger or Rodgers had a war of words with Charlotte, Charlotte would still be happy to join the battle.But Allardyce, Charlotte had a verbal fight with Guardiola and the Argentine national team coach Savilla not long ago, so in comparison, he is naturally "not interested" in Allardyce.

Although Charlotte did not speak to the coach before the game, the players on both sides were still full of gunpowder in this game.Before the start of the game, Jose Fonte, the captain of the team, popularized the "grudge" between them and the Hammers to all the players.

So in the game, everyone often saw the referee stop the game non-stop, and even pulled the captains of both sides to the sideline twice in a row to give verbal warnings.

Red and yellow cards are naturally indispensable in the hot scene. West Ham midfielder Diame maliciously fouled Danilo, causing Danilo to be injured and off the field, but he also received a red card for this.

In the No. 70 minute of the game, Pogba clashed with the opponent's center Carlton Cole, and was later fouled by the opponent for protection.Considering that West Ham United had already been sent off, the referee did not show Cole a second yellow card.

This made Pogba very dissatisfied, and almost went up to the referee to "theory".But his buddy Stephens stopped him, and then the game restarted.In one attack by West Ham, Stephens kicked Cole directly and tackled the opponent to the ground.

The referee immediately rushed to the scene of the incident and showed Stephens a red card, but Stephens didn't even look at the referee and the opponent's players. After shoveling the ball, he turned his back to everyone and walked towards the player channel.

Stephens used this method to express his support for his friends, and he did not excuse his behavior of intentionally fouling and shoveling others.

Charlotte shook his head with a wry smile, and he could only make substitutions and adjustments immediately.He replaced left back Luke Shaw with Alderweireld, and everyone felt baffled.There is one less defender in itself. You put on a central defender and remove a full-back at this time. Isn't this still three defenders?

When Stephens was off the field, Charlotte came over and patted him on the shoulder. He was clearly aware of this kid's temper.Although he usually doesn't talk much, he is definitely a ruthless character.It belongs to the kind of nuclear warhead temper. It's okay if it doesn't activate normally, but once it explodes, it will destroy the world.

This can be seen from the fact that he dared to greet Jason Dodd with his fist. You must know that Jason Dodd looks very fierce.Real Madrid's Portuguese central defender Pepe, that look is fierce enough, right?But Jason Dodd was much more vicious than he was.

"I'm sorry, boss!" Stephens lowered his head, not daring to look at Charlotte.He is indeed not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is only afraid of two people.One is his sister who depends on each other for life, and the other is Charlotte.

It is worth mentioning that his sister Catherine has already gone to the United States to receive a treatment operation on her legs. The cost of the entire operation will cost about 200 million pounds, including the cost of recuperation in the United States.

Most of the 200 million pounds came from Stephens' salary and the savings of his siblings over the past two years. Stephens signed a new contract extension in the first two months, and his weekly salary was 220 pounds before tax. .He asked Charlotte to advance one year's after-tax salary in advance at one time, plus the salary Catherine received as an anchor in the ICU and the "rewards" from netizens all over the world, and they pooled a total of [-] million pounds.

Originally, John Rhodes also wanted to express, but now everyone knows his intention to pursue Catherine, including his parents.John's studio has now become Charlotte's "money-absorbing" weapon. Whether it is undertaking large-scale system design and production, or the income of some mobile phone software and games, it is a considerable income.

In addition, Charlotte has always been very generous to her own people, so whether it is salary, bonus or annual share sharing for the veterans of the studio, it is a large amount.Don't look at John is still a senior student, but asking him to come up with hundreds of thousands or even 100 million pounds in cash is a breeze.

But Stephens directly rejected the other party's cash. John knew the weight of Stephens in Catherine's heart. It can be said that if he wants to fall in love with Catherine, he must at least get Stephens first.So John was very upset, he thought it was Stephens who directly blocked his way to pursue his sister.

But what Stephens said next completely made him hug the big man and kiss him: "I hope you can go to New York to greet my sister, you know we have no relatives or friends in the United States. I have work to do, The club gave me a lot of treatment. I can't go to the United States to take care of my sister for half a year. So if you really want to help, please help me take care of her."

But Charlotte was by their side, so she just laughed when she heard this.Because he knew that it was because they had no relatives and friends in the United States, so they specially asked for a private special care in the hospital.The price of this care is very expensive, otherwise the cost of their treatment in the United States would not have reached 200 million pounds.

So Stephens' words are untenable, and after a little thought, Charlotte understands that Stephens has actually accepted John in his heart, but his heart is causing trouble, so he expresses his opinion in this way.

Charlotte did not blame Stephens for fouling him, but said: "Good job Jack, you must know that you are the third captain of the team, and you have the responsibility to help and support your teammates. But sometimes you can't be too impulsive Now, we need to analyze the situation and make a decision.”

"I know, I saw we were two to zero, so I did it!" Stephens said.

Charlotte: "."

"Well, you've matured a lot, Jack." Charlotte held back for a long time before saying this.

I don't know if Allardyce would vomit blood in anger after hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice. Nima, is this a sign of maturity?

However, Stephens has indeed matured a lot since this season, perhaps because his sister is undergoing surgery, or because he is one year older and understands the principles of life.At least he is the kindest player in the first team to the fans. When encountering fans blocking him for autographs and photos, he will never turn away any fans. He was late for training again. , was fined by Xia Luojia and ran ten kilometers with a heavy load.
When Charlotte asked about it later, he said: "It can be said that my sister and I were raised by Southampton fans and Southampton's mission. My salary, our living expenses and even my sister's surgery fee are all given to me by the club. , and the club is inseparable from the support of the fans, I don’t know how to repay them, so I can only satisfy everyone with whatever I can do.”

After hearing this, Charlotte feels that Stephens has indeed grown a lot. Anyone who knows how to be grateful proves that this person is indeed sensible.

Everyone was puzzled by Charlotte's substitutions, but after the game restarted everyone found that they were not playing a four-back tactic but a three-back tactic.Alderweireld, Jose Fonte and Chambers, who came off the bench on the right, formed a back three.

Florenzi went to the right wing-back position, and Sterling's position was retreated a lot, on the left wing-back.Pogba and Jack Cork are in the midfield, and Lukaku and Harry Kane are in front. This is a three-four-two formation.

The Saints are currently fighting with ten players. If there were no red cards, this formation would look more like a three-five-two formation.

The three-back system is almost invisible in the Premier League, because the three-back tactics of the Premier League are not suitable.But Charlotte knows that after the Italian comes to the Premier League in the future, he will transform his Italian three-central defender tactic according to the characteristics of the Premier League and put it in Chelsea.

So Charlotte decided to try this tactical system in advance, but the [-]-[-]-[-] tactic is not the main tactic of the Saints.It is impossible for any team to have only one formation. Generally, there are at least two or three tactics that are bred from different formations.

And this tactical system of three central defenders belongs to "Plan C" in the Saints, which is the third set of tactics.

Not long after, Charlotte replaced Pogba with Ward-Prowse. With a two-goal lead, Charlotte doesn't need to play too many main players and face-to-face, otherwise he should be shoveled by the opponent. Cried.

The final score was locked at [-]-[-]. Lukaku, Pogba and Sterling behind each scored a goal, and Florenzi scored twice with an assist.Harry Kane is the worst player in the normal game state, but this is expected by Charlotte. After all, he has just recovered from his injury and needs time to adapt.
