Chapter 997 Don't Play People Like This

"Hello, viewers. Welcome to the live broadcast of the WeChat video. The ninth round of the Premier League from [-] to [-]. Saints Southampton vs. Red Devils Manchester United at home!"

"I'm Zhan Jun, and the person sitting next to me is Director Zhang!"

"Hey, everyone."

"Guess everyone, where are we now?"

"We asked the director to zoom out a little further so that everyone can see it clearly."

Immediately, a large string of text appeared on the barrage of the WeChat video. They all guessed that this was at the Glory Stadium in Southampton, England, and they all marveled that they were actually broadcasting live this time!

"That's right, we are at the Glory Stadium, and the game is about to start, but now I want to show you something good."

The camera turned again and fell on the chairman's stand, only to find that there were also the British Prime Minister and his wife, Prince William and his wife, and Southampton's boss Yang Huan and his wife, all sitting on the rostrum.

Seeing the camera of the domestic broadcasting organization, Master Huan waved to the camera specially.

"We are cooperating with Capital TV and other live TV stations tonight, so for the first time, our commentary will be available to all audiences across the country. This is the first time for me."

"Hey, me too, but Southampton is a bit cold!" Director Zhang said.

"Haha, it's mid-October, it's really a bit cold, but we saw that the fans at the scene were very enthusiastic and the atmosphere was very good."

"To be honest, Saints are definitely second to none in terms of home atmosphere in the Premier League in recent years."

"Okay, we see that the two teams are ready to kick off."

"Now I will introduce to you the starting lineup for the game."

"The Saints' game can be said to be the main force. The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is David Alaba, Laporte, Varane and Danilo, and the three midfielders are Di Maria. Toni Kroos and Fabregas."

"A front three with Eden Hazard on the left, Suarez in the center and Messi on the right."

"We can see that the Saints lineup is star-studded and superstar-studded."

The amazement of countless netizens also immediately popped up on the screen, exclaiming the huge star lineup of the Saints.

"Hey, Southampton has risen very fast in the past few years. Many people think that this has something to do with the Saints relying on their huge capital, but it may not be. I personally think that the reason why the Saints can rise so fast has a lot to do with the team's business philosophy."

This WeChat live broadcast has already started to promote and build momentum, attracting more than 500 million fans to watch, and all-knowing netizens also know clearly that WeChat video and Southampton are the same owner.

Therefore, when Director Zhang said this, some netizens immediately popped up a barrage of jokes, asking whether Director Zhang was flattering the boss.

"Uh... Hehe, netizens are really good at joking. How is this possible? The strength of the Saints is obvious to all, and we all know that in Europe where the professional football industry is so developed, the Saints can achieve today's achievements. If you say that they rely solely on capital operations, why can't Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams achieve it? Right?"

Immediately, a group of fans responded and supported on the barrage.

"Okay, everyone, the game has begun, and Manchester United will kick off first."

"Southampton, as always, has taken the initiative to press the tactics, which is already the hallmark of the Saints."

"Gaitan, last season and Salvio had an eye-catching performance in Benfica. This summer, he came to Old Trafford with a lot of money and performed well this season."

"Pass to Rooney, big stop, Southampton get the ball."

"Toni Kroos, pass, Fabregas, pass again, Messi!"

"There was no chance, Messi controlled the ball, cut in laterally, knocked back to Cesc Fabregas, and turned forward himself."

"Great chance, Cesc Fabregas over the top, oops..."

"De Gea's reaction was too fast, the attack was very timely, and an attack by the Saints was resolved!"

"Hey, this is where the Saints are most threatening. They are used to suppressing their opponents and then control the ball from the front of the penalty area to the 30-meter area. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will immediately become a threat."

Zhan Jun nodded, "Yes, that's right, the cooperation between Fabregas and Messi just now was too tacit, the two of them exchanged glances, and they knew each other's thoughts."

"This should be just a temptation. The Saints seem to be in good shape today."

"Well!" Director Zhang also agreed, "Actually, Saints' tactics are worth learning from other teams, because big stars such as Hazard, Suarez and Messi are still actively oppressing their opponents on the court, which is quite rare."

"Yes, that's right. Now many media are saying that when Southampton decided to introduce Cesc Fabregas, it is said that the boss Yang Huan personally went to Barcelona. He confessed to Fabregas that joining the Saints must be more diligent than when he was in Barcelona and actively participate in the game."

"As a result, we saw that after Cesc Fabregas came to the Saints, he quickly regained his life."

"Hey, being able to run is the most prominent feature of this Saints team, but apart from being able to run, they also lack delicate foot skills. The three lines are very tightly combined and orderly, which is what they do best."

"Manchester United's defense was well organized and Giggs looked cautious on the sidelines."

"Hey, against the Saints, the opening game is very important. It is easy to lose the ball. Once the ball is lost at the beginning, it is quite dangerous."

While Director Zhang was talking, something happened suddenly on the court.

After Hazard tried to break through with the ball from the left and failed, he changed to cut in and passed the ball to Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker did not stop the ball, but swept the ball directly behind him.

The ball bypassed Hummels and passed behind Manchester United's defense.

"Good opportunity, dangerous!"

"Messi!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"Good job Saints, just 3 minutes into the game, Southampton took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal!"

"Messi, receiving a wonderful pass from Suarez, turned offside and entered the penalty area, scoring a single-handed goal!"

"It will be difficult for Manchester United to play this time!"

Director Zhang laughed and said: "Isn't it? Conceding the goal in less than 3 minutes after the opening, it is simply a nightmare for Manchester United. On the other hand, the Saints have continued their state very well."

"Through the slow-motion playback, we can clearly see that Suarez was very smart to pull outside the penalty area, creating space for Messi to insert behind, but the key is that his kick is very imaginative."

The entire Glory Stadium is completely boiling!

All Saints fans were chanting Messi's name and cheering for his goal.

…………

…………

Southampton broke the deadlock first in the third minute and immediately opened up the game.

When Giggs' team fell behind, they desperately wanted to equalize the score and began to actively press the offense to find opportunities.

But the Saints also hope that Manchester United will come out.

In the No. 11 minute of the game, it was Manchester United who pressed forward and made a pass error. After being intercepted by the Saints, they counterattacked. Messi stepped in again.

This goal completely pulled the horn of the Saints' mad attack.

In less than 6 minutes, Messi got rid of Gundogan after receiving the ball at the front of the penalty area. After dribbling the ball, he cooperated with Hazard in a very skillful small-scale consecutive two-for-one. After assisting Hazard, he scored and scored, [-]-[-]!
In less than 10 minutes, with three goals, the Saints' offensive caught Manchester United by surprise.

Who would have thought that in the transfer market this summer, Manchester United, which invested huge sums of money, was still so passive when facing the Saints, and was still bombarded indiscriminately by the opponent in the half-court.

Of course, when the Saints are attacking wildly, Manchester United is not completely without a chance.

Gaitan, Salvio and Hamsik all created opportunities in the frontcourt, but unfortunately, as a center forward, Rooney failed to grasp the opportunity well, or hold the ball steadily, which eventually made it difficult for the Red Devils to pose a threat to the offense.

In Zhan Jun's words, Lu Dapang wasted at least two excellent opportunities.

After conceding three goals in a row, Giggs was helpless seeing the Saints' offensive unabated, and had to make urgent adjustments to strengthen the team's defense.

After the Saints led by three goals, they also began to play more steadily and the rhythm slowed down appropriately, but they still firmly controlled the initiative of the game, and the ball was basically controlled by the Saints. Manchester United was very passive.

"Manchester United's offensive problems have been exposed this season, especially Rooney!"

When the competition was not so intense, Director Zhang analyzed the tactics of both sides.

"Giggs trusted Rooney a lot and let Hernandez go during the summer transfer, but the Mexican striker scored a lot of goals in Monaco. At the same time, the Dutch center Van Persie had no chance and was firmly suppressed by Rooney on the bench."

Zhan Jun nodded and hummed, "I think that when Rooney is not in good condition, Van Persie should be given a chance. After all, Van Persie's performance is not bad, and his condition is not bad."

"Yeah, but Manchester United seems to be planning to let Rooney recall his status as soon as possible through the game, and there is news that Van Persie plans to leave Manchester United during the winter break. Hehe, Manchester United will definitely introduce another striker at that time."

"I heard that Giggs has taken a fancy to Diego Costa of Atletico Madrid, but this player is not cheap." Zhan Jun laughed.

"Hey, Atlético de Madrid has been working on promoting metabolism in the past few years. Simeone should not reject selling Diego Costa at a high price. After all, younger players such as Bietto and Munir in the team have also performed quite brilliantly, but Manchester United is definitely bleeding."

"The current Manchester United is repaying the debt of the early years of miserliness!" Zhan Jun sighed.

If it weren't for Manchester United's stinginess and stinginess in the transfer market a few years ago, it is estimated that Manchester United would not be reduced to the current situation, but now...

Of course, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Saints, the predicament of the Red Devils would not be so embarrassing.

Just as the two were talking, the situation on the field changed again.

Manchester United once again attacked the frontcourt, but when the ball passed to Rooney's feet, Varane successfully intercepted the ball calmly and passed it to Toni Kroos. The German midfielder turned around and made a long pass.

Suarez is very fast, he quickly plugs in, grabs ahead of everyone, sprints quickly, and kills Manchester United's goal.

De Gea had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack.

But the Uruguayan striker was one step faster after all. He grabbed the ball before De Gea, and successfully skipped the Spanish goalkeeper. In front of him was an empty goal that was not guarded.

But Suarez did not choose to break the goal. Instead, he waited until his teammate Messi caught up from behind, then dunked Manchester United defender Smalling, crossed to the goal, and offered Messi an assist.

The Argentine star calmly pushed the empty goal and succeeded, four to zero!

"The army is defeated like a mountain, the army is defeated like a mountain!"

"Manchester United conceded another goal in No.307 minutes!"

"Suarez's assist is really a bit of a blow to Manchester United's defenders. He just doesn't shoot when facing an empty goal, and he insists on assisting Messi to perform a hat-trick. This is indeed quite depressing."

"Smarling raised his hands high, as if he was protesting to the referee, he doesn't play like this!"

"But it also reflects the superior strength of the Saints stars."

"Hey!" Director Zhang smiled, "The Saints players played really easily, four to zero, and there is no suspense in the game."
