song of the saints

Chapter 130 The beginning of everything is difficult
The continuous scolding in the stadium made David Winston even have a tinnitus, and the atmosphere was simply too warm.It's just a pity that Manchester City's own fellow players are not on the starting list.

A burst of crisp flute sounded across the scolding sound, and then the audience was silent for a moment, followed by even more enthusiastic cheers and shouts,

The new season has begun.

After the start of the game, neither Southampton nor Manchester City made too many offensive attempts. They both made multiple inversions in the backcourt, and then each directly went to the front striker with a big kick, but Southampton The Dunton team is at a disadvantage in competing for the high ball.Compared with the height of David Villa's central defender Satchel of Manchester City, it is like an ant meeting an elephant.

Time slowly moved forward with his own footsteps, and the Southampton team also changed from being cramped at the beginning to adapting to the rhythm of the game, and began to slowly control the rhythm of the game, which was difficult for the Southampton team to see last season. This is also the idea that David Winston has always instilled in the players. If we hold the game in our hands, then victory will be at our fingertips.

The first chance came in the 26th minute of the first half.This time, the Southampton team was still strongly pressed by Yaya Toure in the midfield, grabbed the ball from Sinclair's feet, and then used the speed of his long legs to quickly launch a counterattack. When alone, he passed the ball to David Silva who had already run to the receiving point.After David Silva got the ball, he was immediately surrounded by two Manchester City players, Button and Musampa, but David Silva was like an elf, wantonly controlling the ball between the two , first lightly passed the ball forward, and happened to pass the ball under Button's crotch. After David Silva took the ball again, Musampa, who was facing the frontal defense, did not hesitate too much, and immediately A simple step on the bicycle shook the clumsy Musampa and continued to dribble forward.These two moves to get rid of the breakthrough caused a burst of cheers from the Saints fans present.David Silva did not forget the characteristics of the entire tactic because of these two wonderful escapes. He has been observing the running position of his compatriot David Villa from the corner of his eye. After Leah had gotten rid of Manchester City centre-back Somer, he passed the ball quickly!
Through the ball!
Ruthlessly tore through Manchester City's entire line of defense!The ball passed between Satcher and Somer, and the two had nothing to do, because they were both moving towards the goal, and it seemed awkward to turn their heads and feet to make a clearance.

but!This time England's goalkeeper James stood up.

His attack blocked David Villa's shot angle, resulting in David Villa's first shot in the Premier League being over the anti-aircraft gun.

David Winston, on the other hand, was full of praise for this cooperation, and shouted loudly at David Villa on the sidelines, encouraging him.He knows it will take a lot more determination to break through Manchester City.

He turned his head to look at Hierro, and Hierro also nodded in appreciation of this offensive cooperation.

The Southampton team's frontcourt pressing made the Manchester City players very uncomfortable. They could only find two forwards frequently, but this kind of attack is exactly what the Southampton team likes. The two central defenders are both The header ability is extremely good, facing such a high ball is as simple as eating.

David Winston put Dirk Louitt on the right wing in order to get the most out of his defensive abilities.Before that, Dirk Kurit had always been a striker at Feyenoord, but after arriving at Southampton, David Winston began to let Dirk Kurit receive special training in defense because he knew The goalscoring efficiency of Dirk Kurit in the Liverpool team in his previous life is indeed a bit touching. In addition, there are many options for the position of the striker now. It is better to let him enter a new position to adapt.

"Dirk - Dirk Kuitt successfully steals the ball again, God knows this is the first time he steals this game, he is a striker!!" The Sky Sports commentator in charge of explaining the game exclaimed.

Dirk Kurit ran down the right with the ball, looked up at the situation in the penalty area, and then made a cross and passed it into the penalty area.

There is only David Villa in the penalty area, which David Winston is not satisfied with. Such outflanking cannot completely kill the opponent.

Sure enough, the Manchester City player pushed out of the penalty area for a cross from Dirk Kurit.Yaya Toure, who was outside the penalty area, also shot high and flew high.

David Winston, who was still smiling just now, suddenly frowned, and his face was clouded.He is very dissatisfied with the attack just now, the current Southampton team is so unstable, maybe they can play a match just now, but the next scene is that there is only one player in the penalty area, and everyone else is watching lazily Contest.

"Cheer me up!! Adam!!! Aren't you awake!!! Run for me!! Push for me!!!" David Winston put his hands to his mouth and leaned forward Roaring into the arena.

David Winston needs to have a good talk with Adam Lallana, the rookie king of the team last season. He feels that Adam Lallana’s mentality has changed, and his recent training state is also good. Bad times, feeling a little smug.David Winston will not ignore these, of course if Adam Lallana does not compromise, he will not hesitate to sell him, because there are many players suitable for this position, Frank Ribery, Peter - Trohovski, even Gareth Bale.

Adam Lallana also heard the roar of his head coach David Winston, and immediately cheered up. He also knew David Winston's temper, and he would never give any reason to excuse himself player of.

The scene returned to the tug-of-war.Manchester City's recovery defense made Southampton a bit helpless. The huge iron barrel formation prevented the ball from penetrating into Manchester City's penalty area. This was David Winston's biggest headache.Now Southampton's striker lacks a high point like Crouch, and the offensive routine lacks a little innovation.I really don't know if letting Crouch go is the right decision.

The score of the first half game was also fixed at zero to zero.How to break the iron barrel and adjust the emotions of the players is a problem that David Winston needs to solve at halftime.
