Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy First Productivity

"Hello, everyone, I'm Gary Lineker, and welcome to Game of the Day!"

"Hi everyone, I'm Alan Shearer!"

"I'm Alan Hansen!"

"Hello, audience friends, I'm Charlene Lahiri!"

When each host greets the audience, the camera will give a close-up.

After the four people finished speaking, the camera zoomed out, and a distant view of the entire recording studio appeared, recording all four of them.

"If you want to talk about the games tonight, I don't know which one everyone is most concerned about?"

Lineker said with a smile, pointing to Alan Shearer, "If I'm not mistaken, Shearer should be most concerned about the match between Southampton and Reading, right?"

Alan Shearer nodded, "Yes, I care about this one the most."

Alan Hansen on the side suddenly laughed, "He was born as a saint, so he is considered famous."

"No, no, not exactly!" Alan Shearer quickly shook his head, "A very important reason why I care about the Saints is that I think this team deserves a reward!"

"League runner-up, isn't that enough?" Lineker asked with a smile.

Alan Shearer was speechless now, and could only shrug his shoulders in a helpless manner.

"Hansen, which match are you most concerned about?" Lineker asked again.

Alan Hansen nodded and smiled, "It was also Southampton's game against Reading."

"And why are you?" Lineker felt amused.

Just now you said that Alan Shearer cares about Southampton because Shearer is a saint, so why do you care?

"Before, when I was on Charlene's show, she mentioned to me that Southampton introduced more high-tech elements in training and games. I was very interested, so I have been paying attention to this team. Pay attention every round."

Lineker nodded suddenly, "What did you find?"

"Stable, very stable!" Alan Hansen shook his head and exclaimed: "Since September last year,

This team has been fighting on multiple fronts, but their rotation mechanism has worked quite well. In terms of player rotation and the overall combat effectiveness of the team, they have done a very good job, especially after entering December. "

Everyone else nodded in unison.

In terms of rotation, Southampton has the largest rotation lineup and range this season.

Even Bielsa has promoted players including Kovacic, Januzaj, Luke Shaw and Chambers to play in many cup games, and these players have performed very well many times.

This is a rather surprising thing.

It stands to reason that teams that like to rotate will inevitably have ups and downs in strength.

But Southampton is quite stable.

There may be ups and downs, but it's really hard to see!

"Charlene, what about you? Which scene do you care about most?" Lineker turned to the blonde beauty, Charlene Lahiri.

She is a flower among the three major male hosts of the daily competition.

"I am more concerned about the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City!"

This time the three male hosts were all strange.

As we all know, Charlene Lahiri has always been a clear-cut Saints fan, why did she suddenly turn to care about Manchester United?

"Why?" Lineker asked.

Charlene Lahiri smiled, "Because I know that Southampton is sure to win. Instead of paying attention to a game with no suspense, I might as well care about the opponent, so..."

Everyone is gone now.

What is a hardcore fan?

Charlene Lahiri is a die-hard fan of the Saints!

"Okay, now the game is over, and everyone knows the result. I am very interested to know, what do you think of this result? Southampton is now only five points behind Manchester United, and there are still six league rounds. What do you think?"

After Lineker finished asking the question, he immediately looked at Alan Shearer.

The saint replied without thinking: "As I said just now, I think Southampton should be rewarded, and that is their successful reversal of Manchester United."

"Judging from the past few rounds of the league, there is no doubt that Manchester United has problems. Maybe it is physical fitness, or maybe the tactics have been figured out. All in all, I think Manchester United has problems, and the possibility of continuing to lose points is very high."

"Five points, just two or three games. Judging from Manchester United's performance in the past few rounds, it is entirely possible!"

"Conversely, Southampton has been winning streak, and the undefeated record is quite amazing. The morale is strong, and the players are full of energy. It is the time to boost their energy, so I think Southampton is likely to continue the winning streak. go down."

Lineker nodded and turned to Alan Hansen, "Hansen, what do you think?"

Alan Hansen thought for a while, "I partially support Shearer's views, but I have some different opinions."

"tell me the story!"

"I think that the more critical the championship is, the more we cannot ignore the role of the head coach!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Lineker nodded.

"Ferguson is the head coach with the most experience in winning the Premier League, and don't underestimate Ferguson's self-adjustment ability. I prefer to believe that the downturn in the past few rounds has passed. Ferguson must have a way to deal with it!"

Lineker nodded again, feeling that what Alan Hansen said made sense.

But at this time Charlene Lahiri interjected, "Hansen is right, but I'm curious, no matter how Ferguson adjusts, he can only adjust the physical condition and psychology of the players. Let's not talk about the veterans. How much to adjust, this is unknown, I'm just curious..."

After a pause, Charlene Lahiri looked directly at Alan Hansen, "How can we solve Manchester United's stubborn tactical problems?"

"Which aspect of the disease?" Alan Hansen asked.

"As we all know, including Steve Wilson's column, it has been mentioned many times that after Queiroz left the team, Ferguson's transformation of Manchester United is going backwards. Once Manchester United's offense hits the frontcourt, they have no idea how to solve this. ?”

"Rely on Rooney?" Charlene Lahiri shook her head and laughed.

Steve Wilson is a well-known football columnist in Europe. He once commented in his column that if Manchester United wins the championship this season, it will be a tragedy for the Premier League.

The reason is simple. Manchester United's style of play in the past few seasons has completely gone against the trend of continentalization!

Why do you say that?

Steve Wilson mentioned that Manchester United's entire midfield operation is very mechanical, full of Fletcher, Cleverley, Nani, Ashley Young, Valencia, Anderson and other players, these people can What to bring to Manchester United's midfield?

The answer is, no!

Ferguson is a very stubborn person, he firmly believes that actions are much more important than ideas.

Therefore, Fletcher, Cleverly and others are all practitioners of his concept.

But the problem is, you are fierce and brave, but you have no idea, what should you do?

What does it mean to play football with your brain?

That is to say, when you play football, you must have ideas in your head, imagination, and creativity!

On the football field, ideas are the primary productivity!

But even in the season when Manchester United reached the Champions League final and finally lost to Barcelona, ​​the most commendable thing about the Red Devils was never their offense, but the steel defense line composed of Ferdinand and Vidic.

Except for the veterans, the only one in the team who has more ideas is Carrick.

But obviously, Carrick can't support Manchester United's entire midfield!

Therefore, as a last resort, Ferguson could only invite Scholes and Giggs to stay on the team to play the remaining heat.

Even with Scholes, Giggs, Carrick and others, Manchester United's entire midfield operation mechanism has nothing to commend it. It is all very British, stubborn and old-fashioned. thing.

Therefore, Steve Wilson said that between Manchester United and Southampton, he will unswervingly choose the Saints!

Now, more and more teams are beginning to know how to play Manchester United.

Thus, the crux of the Red Devils' offense was exposed.

More importantly, as the core offensive player in the team, Rooney obviously failed!

"I dare to say this, if Manchester United wants to continue to make a difference in the Premier League, they must win Rooney!"

"In the same way, if Manchester City wants to make a difference, Yaya Toure must be won!"

Speaking of this, Charlene Lahiri shook her head and sighed: "Many times, it is very painful to make such a decision. Manchester United and Manchester City may not do this, but the best players may not be the best players." suitable!"

Charlene Lahiri's words caused all three people present to fall into deep thought.

Manchester United with Wayne Rooney as the core and Manchester City with Yaya Toure as the core have obviously encountered problems.

At the very least, the upper limits of these two players have severely restricted the development of these two teams.

It can even be said that Manchester United's offense just exposed the gap between Wayne Rooney and the top stars, and Manchester City's midfield also let everyone see why Yaya Toure was tightly suppressed by Guardiola waist position.

Relatively speaking, Southampton's original choice was much smarter.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as one of the best centers in the world, although the team needs to build tactics around him, but the strong strength of the Swedish center and his center position on the court have become an advantage instead.

Many people say that Ibrahimovic has his own tactical system, why not?

It's not that Ibrahimovic alone can match all opponents, but he is describing his tactical value.

The Swedish center has a nearly perfect body, speed, flexibility, flexibility, strength confrontation, height, etc., no matter how perfect it is, what's more frightening is that he has delicate foot skills and excellent shooting skills.

With such a perfect center forward, you can use whatever you want in the midfield, as long as it is not too bad, and you can pass the ball to him stably and effectively, and then equip a decent secondary offensive lineup around him, then the whole set of tactics will be perfect. It's done!

The opponent's tight defense?

It doesn't matter, I use my body and technology to forcibly break out a space, what are you afraid of?

With the Swedish center's physical fitness and technical ability that can crush all central defenders, let alone one-on-one, two-on-one is often enough!

Once on the court, it's like twelve against eleven!

In the past three years, Southampton has pushed Ibrahimovic's tactical role forward step by step.

Look at Southampton's frontcourt this season, Neymar, Gareth Bale, Hazard, Sturridge, Ravel Morrison are all very capable, and they can give Zlatan Ibrahimovic A player who can pass the ball and can actively participate in the second attack.

What about midfield?

Modric, Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, Isco, Matic...

Plus players such as Harvey Martinez, David Alaba, Danilo in the defense.

It can be said that Southampton's entire lineup configuration is doing its best to give full play to Ibrahimovic's tactical value.

The Swedish center did not disappoint. This season's Premier League goals are close to 30.

What's even more frightening is that his assists have also reached double digits.

Neymar, Gareth Bale and Vidal have all benefited from Zlatan Ibrahimovic!

It's like playing against Reading, one goal and three assists, which shows the important role of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the team!

Ibrahimovic, who is getting older, has obviously begun to transform with the assistance of the Southampton coaching staff.

They all have superstar players as the core, but compared with Southampton, the core players of Manchester United and Manchester City are obviously inferior, are they there?

After all, Manchester United and Manchester City have sacrificed too much for the core players at the tactical level!

But Southampton was different.

As long as Ibrahimovic continues to maintain this excellent competitive state, even if Southampton really sells Neymar or even Gareth Bale, as long as they introduce suitable players, Southampton's The overall strength cannot be weak!

Just kidding, Dafeng is at the front first, who can hold it? r1148
