Chapter 389: Premeditated Charlotte
Both sides played very difficult in this game. In the end, relying on the goals of Rodriguez and Higuain, Southampton scored 10-[-] with the guest Paris Saint-Germain within [-] and [-] minutes of home regulation. Paris' goal was scored by Ibrahimovic.

Although Charlotte made a targeted tactical defense against Ibrahimovic, it still failed to prevent Ibrahimovic from scoring.However, as the game progressed, Ibrahimovic's physical fitness was almost exhausted. He is 33 years old this year, and he is no longer in the body when he was 23 years old.

The total score of the two rounds was tied at three to three, and both sides scored one away goal, so the game entered overtime.

At the end of the game, because Rodriguez fought too hard, his legs were cramped and he couldn't proceed to the next overtime game, so Charlotte replaced the opponent with Griezmann.

Everyone thinks that Southampton has done its best after overtime, and Paris Saint-Germain may completely kill the game in the last three to 10 minutes, but they did not expect the Saints to score the first goal.

Higuain received a pass from Eriksson and hit the goal directly, but Siligu threw it out. Marquinhos followed up and made a big-footed clearance, but he was facing the direction of his own goal, so he didn't know The Brazilian defender behind him could only kick the football out of the baseline and give the opponent a corner kick.

Eriksson is going to serve a corner kick, and Ryan Kulu, Pogba and Higuain in the penalty area are all ready to compete for the corner kick.However, as a central defender, Stephens did not go to the small penalty area, but moved to the top rib of the arc in the large penalty area.

Matuidi glanced at the opponent and did not follow, because even if the opponent gets a header from this position, the threat to his own goal is not too great, and under normal circumstances, who will take a corner kick outside the penalty area?

The Danish midfielder took a corner kick. He didn't go directly to the center of the small penalty area, nor did he go to the outside of the big penalty area, but passed a far point.

Stephens suddenly started a run-up and rushed into the penalty area, then jumped up immediately, and then hit the ball with Matuidi and Cabaye in a daze, and hit the goal directly with his head.

Sirigu was unprepared and failed to save the football in the end. The football flew into the gate guarded by him.

St. Mary's Stadium was filled with jubilation, and the home fans shouted Stephens' name loudly. This kid who came from their native land, the kid they grew up watching, finally made contributions to the team in the European arena!

This conceded goal did not make Blanco lose his sense of proportion, because they are now playing away, as long as they score another goal in the end, the result will be to eliminate the opponent with the advantage of away goals.

There are still 10 minutes in overtime, and it's not that there is no time and opportunities.

At this time, Blanco began to prepare for the team to strengthen the offense. He replaced Cabaye with Cavani, and then replaced Lavezzi with Lucas.Counting that he replaced the Brazilian full-back Maxwell with central defender Alex, Blanco has already used up all three substitutions.

On Charlotte's side, he just used up one substitution quota, and now he can still play two cards in his hand.

After the substitution, Blanco looked at Charlotte. He noticed that although the opponent made a lot of adjustments on the spot, he didn't make use of the substitution. Could it be that he was waiting for the final overtime or even a penalty shootout?

If this is the case, then his opponent must not be underestimated.

After Blanc knew that his opponent was the Saints in the lottery, he also deliberately collected the opponent's information.In addition to some game videos and tactical analysis, he also knows that his young opponent is good at making on-the-spot substitutions and adjustments, so the game was played so difficult within 10 minutes that the opponents just used Griezmann replaced Rodriguez, who was physically exhausted. If it wasn't for the Colombian who couldn't run anymore, Blanco believed that the opponent would not make substitutions within 10 minutes.

This shows that dragging the game into overtime or even a penalty shootout is the opponent's tactic. In this way, isn't he following the opponent's rhythm now?

When Charlotte saw Cavani and Lucas on the field, he knew that Blanco was about to start his final fight, so he immediately made substitution adjustments.

Everyone thought that Charlotte was going to defend. After all, they had already led by one goal. If they stick to it now, the possibility of final promotion is very high.

But Charlotte didn't think so, so instead of putting on a defensive player, he put on an attacking player, even a center forward.

Lukaku replaced the organizational midfielder Eriksson, and Charlotte gave a double center tactic! !

Many people didn't understand Charlotte's substitution. Isn't it time to defend?Why are you still strengthening your offense?Don't be afraid of death.
"The most dangerous score in the world is a one-goal advantage, so let your friends forget about that goal. Now we are one goal behind, and we should seize the opportunity after the opponent's attack to fight back!"

This sentence was told by Charlotte when Lukaku was on the court, and asked him to convey it to other players on the court.

Charlotte was not confused by the total score of four to three, because he knew that once the opponent scored a goal, all previous efforts would be in vain.Therefore, the lead of one goal is not obvious, and he often tells the players that "the most dangerous score in the world is one to zero", so the current score is one to zero.

Only one goal behind, with 10 minutes left, Paris Saint-Germain will definitely do their best.This is a difficult 10 minutes for the Saints, but also a 10 minutes full of opportunities.

As the game time slipped away minute by minute, Paris Saint-Germain's offense became stronger and stronger.Especially at the beginning of the second half of overtime, the opponent's offense seemed a little anxious.

Charlotte knew that her chance was coming, and whether she could grasp it would depend on the players on the court.

Paris Saint-Germain themselves didn't notice that their attacking pressure was very high, which led to the central defenders Alex and Thiago Silva's positions being high.Lukaku's range of activities is very small, he is directly next to Thiago Silva.

Thiago Silva is one of the best central defenders on the planet right now, and Charlotte naturally dare not be careless.So Lukaku's coming up is not just as simple as adding an attacker, his task is still to suppress the Brazilian central defender.It doesn't matter whether he overwhelms the winner or not, the important thing is that he can't be distracted to help other Paris players make up and assist in defense.

This is the first time that Charlotte has sent a striker to "defend" a central defender. It seems a bit funny, but Charlotte knows that only in this way will Higuain, Aubameyang and even Griezmann have a chance.

Previously, Paris Saint-Germain's central defender partner was the Brazilian combination of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva, but Maxwell couldn't run anymore, so Blanco used Alex to play central defender, and then Marquis Nios went to the wing, after all, this excellent Brazilian defender can play multiple roles of full back and central defender.

Well. Except for Lucas Digne, the French defender, the other defenders of Paris Saint-Germain in this game are all Brazilians
Pastore tried to speed away Danny Rose, but he failed and had to give the ball to Ibrahimovic who dropped back.Ibrahimovic can no longer run, so it is more of an organizational support role.

Ibrahimovic took the ball straight to Cavani, but Schneiderlin, who had been ambushing behind him, rushed out and broke the ball, and then handed it to Pogba.

Pogba dribbled the ball himself to launch a counterattack, and Lukaku went straight forward to withstand the pressure brought by the two central defenders and then raised his hand for the ball.

Matuidi came up to press, but Pogba did not entangle with the opponent too much but directly stuffed the ball to Higuain who was in the back position.Higuain took the ball, but behind him was Verratti, so the smoker had to split the ball to Griezmann.

Griezmann waded the ball and then quickly started to break through Digne's defensive position. The French full-back immediately turned and chased.

Griezmann, who made a bloody path on the side, successfully attracted the opponent's attention to this side, and then directly kicked the ball at a fifteen-degree angle on the side and handed over the football.

Although Lukaku raised his hand in the middle to ask for the ball, the ball was not passed to him but to Aubameyang on the other side.After Aubameyang got the ball, Marquinhos and Alex were about to start forming a double-team on him, but Aubameyang didn't want to dribble into the penalty area by himself, but took advantage of Alex's return. When he didn't come up, he immediately passed the football out.

The football came to the middle, Thiago Silva was still blocking Lukaku, but Higuain behind him quickly stepped in, and Verratti, who was following him, did not catch up to the opponent.After taking the ball, the small smoking gun did not stride the ball, but kicked the football a little distance, and then followed up and entered the penalty area.

Siligu abandoned the goal and attacked, but Higuain kicked the goal directly when the opponent was only halfway.The position of the ball was rather tricky, and Sirigu did not pounce on it. At the same time, Lucas, who chased back to this position, failed to kick the football out, and the football rolled into the bottom line of the goal.

Five to three! ! !Southampton are one game away from victory.

The players on the field were still celebrating, but Charlotte was very calm at this time, and he immediately played his last card.Jose Fonte stood on the sidelines and was ready to play, leading by two goals with seven and eight minutes left in the game. It would be really stupid not to strengthen Charlotte's defense at this time.

When the Saints took more than one point to celebrate the goal, and finally had to end under the intervention of the referee, Jose Fonte came on and replaced the game and scored twice. Higuain, the team's biggest hero .

The [-] fans at home stood up and gave their own applause for the smoker.
