Chapter 568 Let the State Be More Violent!

Sturridge's goal completely broke the deadlock on the field!

Southampton was encouraged and began to launch wave after wave of attack, and Chelsea became more precarious in front of goal.

First, Drogba became single-handedly after a successful anti-offside, but at the critical moment, he was blown offside by the referee.

But judging from the slow motion of the game, it is hard to say whether it is offside.

Immediately afterwards, Sturridge made a breakthrough with the ball, creating a foul by Chelsea and allowing Mikel to receive a yellow card.

After a set kick in the frontcourt, Varane headed the goal, but Petr Cech pushed it out of the crossbar and took a corner kick.

The Saints took a corner kick, Drogba headed the ball back and knocked it back, and the point was given to Sturridge, who volleyed vigorously after plugging in, but Cech flew out again.

San Cech's battle perfectly confirmed the saying that an excellent goalkeeper is worth half of the team!

The first half ended 1-0, but in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Southampton's offensive continued unabated, and it still launched a fierce impact on Chelsea.

At the beginning, when Gareth Bale faced Ivanovic's defense on the left, he used his own speed to forcefully overwhelm Ivanovic, and then made a wonderful pass into the penalty area. Drogba was in the crowd Grabbed the spot and hit the ball to the lower left corner.

Cech stood to the right and was beyond his reach!

But at the moment when the ball was about to cross the goal line, Ashley Cole flew to the rescue and cleared the ball in advance.

But the Southampton players complained to the referee that the ball had clearly crossed the white line of the goal.

But the Chelsea players were not convinced, thinking that they had not crossed the line.

The referee also quickly made a penalty, thinking that there was no crossing the line, and Chelsea defended successfully!

Can block this time, but not the next time.

Southampton quickly took a free kick in the frontcourt. After Drogbal took the ball to the left, he knocked back to Gareth Bale.

The Welsh flying wing took the ball and rushed into the penalty area, which immediately caused a fatal flaw in Chelsea's entire defense.

But at the critical moment, Gareth Bale suddenly returned to the front of the penalty area, and Pogba rushed to him,

Facing the incoming ball, he directly pulled his legs and shot angrily, and the ball hit the net in response, two to zero!

The whole St. Mary's Stadium is excited!

The aggressive Southampton almost completely crushed Chelsea!

However, the two-goal lead still failed to satisfy Southampton, and the Saints still launched crazy presses and attacks against Chelsea.

Even Matic, the defensive midfielder, sneaked forward, seized an opportunity, and shot a very high-quality long shot, but Petr Cech flew to the bottom line, which is embarrassing!

After that, Southampton made substitution adjustments, replacing Lavelle Morrison, Isco and James Rodriguez successively, and the team lineup also changed back to the usual four-three-three tactics.

At this point in the game, Chelsea had no power to fight back.

Therefore, even if Bielsa made changes and substitutions, it would be difficult for the Blues to resist.

In the 81st minute, after Isco dribbled the ball through the middle and broke through two players in a row, he crossed James Rodriguez. The Colombian picked a pass behind the defense. Foot shot, once again pierced Chelsea's goal, three to zero!

At this point in the game, it was basically over early!

…………

…………

When the clear whistle of the referee came from the 50-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, there was a deathly silence in the meeting room of the William Hill headquarters in London.

Everyone sitting here is an executive from the William Hill gaming company.

Including Group Chairman Gareth Davies, CEO Ralph Topping, and the heads of various departments.

They all stared at the LCD TV screen intently, looking at the time on the upper right, the names of the opposing teams, and the score.

Three to zero!

Southampton beat Chelsea at home!

It should be said that the Saints won Chelsea, which is not surprising at all.

To be able to conquer Chelsea in such a way, with such a dominant performance, is enough to make everyone's jaw drop!

Who would have thought that Southampton would be a newly promoted team?

Who would have thought that after the winter break, Southampton would perform so well after a short-term adjustment?

"Winning Liverpool and Chelsea in a row, the Saints are truly invincible!"

Ralph Toppin said with some regret.

At the beginning of the season, no, even in October, who would have thought that Southampton would have such an amazing performance?

Even in February, with Manchester United leading by 10 points, everyone felt that the Red Devils' victory was a certainty.

But now, seeing Southampton beat Chelsea so overwhelmingly, everyone is left with amazement.

Also, the suspense of the Premier League championship!

"In this game, Southampton did not use their main force, but whether it is a veteran like Drogba, or a young player like Sturridge and Pogba, as well as Danilo and Nastasic on the defensive line. Waiting for everyone, they are all eye-catching!"

"Yeah, it's amazing. According to Opta's data, they actually shot forty-two shots in this game!"

"My God, forty-two shots?"

"Still facing Chelsea?"

"Twenty-four shots on target, if Cech and Benatia hadn't performed so well, I'm afraid this would be another amazing big score!"

"What's the matter with Southampton recently? The state is so fierce?"

Everyone in the conference room was talking and amazed.

Ralph Toppin sighed, "When I was watching Charlene Lahiri's self-media program, I vaguely heard Charlene Lahiri mention that Southampton had already started to play as early as last season. I have studied the training plan for the new season, and one of the most important points is how to adjust the team's physical reserves."

"Have you been preparing since last season?" Someone was full of wonder, even shock.

Could someone in Southampton be prophesying?

Ralph Toppin nodded, "Don't forget, Southampton won the championship with a record lead in last season's Championship!"

After he said this, everyone remembered that this was indeed the case.

Southampton has completed a triple jump in the past three years and has been promoted from the League One to the Premier League in one go.

Even this season, as a newly promoted Premier League team, Southampton is currently the second most popular team to win the championship after Manchester United!

It is also one of the only two teams in the Premier League with the strength to win the championship!

One can imagine how amazing this team is!

"Southampton has strictly followed the team's season plan since preparing for the summer. It is said that starting from November, it has adjusted the schedule for the winter break. The purpose is to let the players regain their form in March and April!"

The reason why Chelsea suffered a humiliating defeat in this game is that the team's strength and skills are not as good as others, and tactics are also on the one hand, but more importantly, the team's state is too bad!

It’s not surprising when you think about it. With the thickness of Chelsea’s bench, the rotation has not achieved much effect, but they are fighting in the third line in the FA Cup, Europa League and the league. After the players have survived the devil’s schedule during the winter break, in March and April, His physical condition has declined considerably.

Under such circumstances, when encountering a team with such excellent form as Southampton, one ebbs and another, the result can be imagined.

"Southampton's tactics are very targeted. I heard from them that they have a data analysis system for pre-match simulations, and they can also scientifically rotate the team lineup. Therefore, in this game, even if the rotation is so large Big, still overwhelmingly killed Chelsea!"

Having said that, Ralph Toppin shook his head worriedly.

"Next, who is Southampton's opponent?"

Following the CEO's question, someone immediately retrieved the database.

"Reading away, West Ham at home, Swansea away, West Bromwich Albion at home, Tottenham Hotspur away, Stoke at home, San Francisco away. Theresa."

Now the Premier League has played 30 rounds, and there are seven rounds left.

Judging from the opponents in these seven rounds, Southampton all have an advantage in strength.

If it is really purely from the face of the card, the possibility of the Saints winning seven consecutive victories again is very high.

"What about Manchester United?" Gareth Davis also asked with a frown.

"Man City at home, Stoke away, Aston Villa at home, Arsenal away, Chelsea at home, Swansea at home and West Brom away."

As soon as the schedule came out, everyone in the conference room almost held their breath.

Grandma, what's going on?

Manchester United will still play Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the next seven rounds?

I wipe, what is this?

Of course, no one present would doubt that this is the FA deliberately helping Southampton.

The reason is simple. The schedule was drawn up at the beginning of the season. Who knows that Manchester United and Southampton will compete for the league title in the end?

Besides, Southampton's opponents in the last few rounds are indeed not strong, but look at the past two rounds, they challenged Liverpool and Chelsea successively, and then chased Manchester United and Manchester City.

Those doubters, what else is there to say?

There are only 20 teams in the league, a double cycle, if they don't match up early, they will match up later.

Manchester United played against the weak teams earlier, and the three strong teams were at the end, while Southampton played against the strong teams early, and they played against the weak teams in the last few rounds.

Gareth Davis sighed deeply, "Don't look at Manchester United leading by eight points now, but if Ferguson is not careful, it is very likely that the ship will capsize in the gutter and give up the league championship in vain!"

Who said no?

Southampton chased so fiercely, and the state was even better.

There is such a chaser behind him, and he shouted the slogan of winning streak, whoever it is, the pressure will only increase.

The current Manchester United has actually shown its fatigue!

After defeating Norwich 4-0, Manchester United's next two games against Reading and Sunderland were both narrow and narrow victories.

Especially when they played against Sunderland, they relied on an own goal to win. It is conceivable that Manchester United is in a bad state.

"Manchester United is now leading by eight points, and there are still seven rounds left. The next match against Manchester City is crucial!" Ralph Toppin said sharply.

Manchester City's strength is not lost to Manchester United, and even much better than the Red Devils.

In addition, although this game was held at Old Trafford, it was a Manchester derby.

I believe no one will forget that last season, also at Old Trafford, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 6-1 in the classic game.

"If Manchester United wins this game, the pressure on the team will be reduced and morale will be boosted."

When Ralph Topping said this, he paused deliberately.

"But if Manchester United draws or even loses, then Manchester United will fall into a passive position. At that time..."

Although Ralph Topping didn't say it, everyone present knew it well.

Once Manchester United loses points in the derby, the situation will be worrying!

Especially considering that they will face Arsenal and Chelsea next, neither Wenger nor Benitez is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Don't look at Benitez's loss to Southampton this round so embarrassingly, it is because the team's lineup is incomplete and the strength is not good.

But can Manchester United's lineup compare with Southampton?

Everyone present was worried when they heard this.

Because, if Manchester United loses the championship and Southampton really wins the championship and creates a miracle of the newly promoted horse winning the championship, William Hill will lose a lot of money.

Because they not only took the one million pound bet cast by Yang Huan, but also took the risk transfer bets from the other two gaming companies.

If Southampton wins the championship, it will be miserable for William Hill!

More than 400 million pounds will be the worst loss in William Hill's history!

Therefore, executives such as Ralph Toppin and Gareth Davis, while worried, are also praying to God, hoping that Manchester United can be more competitive, and other teams can also create more threats to Southampton.

As for adding trouble to Southampton in private?

They are regular gaming companies, not those underground dealers, how dare they?

I really regret it! r1148
