Chapter 606 Saints Must Win!

Bielsa's big move?

Please, can you? What's the big move?

The league has played thirty-seven rounds, and it has been going on for several months. Everyone already knows each other well. Even a young player of the youth team can dig deep into the ground to dig out black materials. What mysterious tricks can there be?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, sweating all over his face and body, walked out of the Stoke City penalty area and walked back.

He had just completed a shot, but under the interference of the opponent's central defender Shawcross, he went awry.

So depressing!

The Stoke City team is simply messing around, and they have a good grasp of the referee's penalty scale. Every foul is on the verge of being blown or not, and can be fined or not. Even Webber, it is often the net. Be open.

In this regard, Southampton has nothing to do!

The captain Neuer has already put pressure on the referee, can there still be a conflict?

Besides, Southampton is in a good situation now, playing against Stoke City, and the city in the air has been beaten to the point of being helpless to fight back. At this time, a conflict is triggered, and Southampton's brain is not showing off!

It can be said that Southampton is only one goal short of this game so far!

As long as there are goals, the game is perfect!

Thinking about it makes me feel depressed. I took 21 shots in the first half, but I just didn't score a single goal.

It's been ten minutes since the second half, and I've taken three or four shots, but I still haven't scored a goal.

Is it because Southampton's feet are not going well tonight, or is the Stoke City team too tenacious?

If the feet are not going well, it is impossible for every player to be so bad, right?

Even Toni Kroos and Modric, who had high-quality long-range shots, swung their feet twice, but they still didn't score.

How can you say that the toe is not smooth when you shoot with ten feet?

When Ibrahimovic walked back, he looked left and right at the players of the Stoke City team. He found that each of these opponents was panting and looked very tired.

Needless to say,

It must be boiling!

Moreover, maybe it is almost unbearable!

With such an understanding, Ibrahimovic was excited and a desire was ignited in his heart.

He has never forgotten the oath he made when he left Barcelona three years ago!

One day, go back to Camp Nou and make all Barcelona fans regret what happened back then!

He wants to capture the Nou Camp and let everyone know that letting Ibrahimovic go is the stupidest decision of Barcelona!

Therefore, in the past three years, he has been training hard every day, and he has been thinking about revenge all the time.

This season, Southampton, as a newly promoted horse, has been rising in the rankings all the way. Ibrahimovic's goals have been rising steadily, and he has broken through 30. The Saints have finally returned to the Champions League and challenged Manchester United's championship. the final impact.

Next season, I will return to the Champions League!

Every time I think of this, Ibrahimovic is full of excitement, and has the urge to cry up to the sky.

However, in front of the Swedish center, the Premier League champion is within reach, Stoke City!

Ibrahimovic has scored many goals since his debut. He is known as the world's number one center forward, but he has been criticized.

One point that many fans have criticized is his goal at a critical moment.

Now, is it a critical moment?

Of course, is there a more critical moment than now?

That's when I scored a goal!

Thinking of this, Zlatan Ibrahimovic yelled vigorously, scaring the two central defenders of the Stoke City team around, thinking that something had happened, they were shocked, and hurried to look over.

But I found out that Nimei's Ibrahimovic was actually wearing a trouser belt...

If you wear your trouser belt, just wear your trouser belt, what do you call it?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic glanced at Shawcross and Robert Huth, smiled proudly, and walked forward.

When passing Neymar, Gareth Bale, and Modric and others along the way, the Swedish center made a turning gesture, telling them to pay attention to changing positions.

"This beast is finally going to show its power!" Modric said with a smile.

Ibrahimovic started a real fire, and they knew better than anyone how terrifying that strength was.

Tony Cross kept nodding, and said with a smile, "I guess he's held back long enough!"

Looking at the time again, it was only two or three minutes away from the 60 minutes arranged by Bielsa, almost.

Captain Neuer looked behind and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Here they come, everyone, get ready!"

"Saints, must win!"

Following Neuer's roar, all the Southampton players present also shouted together.

"Saints, must win!"

That momentum immediately attracted more than 30,000 fans in the stands of the stadium. Immediately, the fans also chanted the slogan that the Saints must win, and swept the entire St. Mary's Stadium for a while.

Stoke's hold on the ball did not last long.

Sky City wanted to find Crouch with a long pass, but England's Gaozhugan was stared at by Varane in this game.

The French central defender grabbed the first spot, pushed back to the midfield, and gave it to Vidal.

Vidal knocked back on Toni Kroos, and the German sent a long diagonal pass to the right.

I saw Ibrahimovic running to the right to catch the ball without knowing when.

What about Gareth Bale?

When Ibrahimovic pulled the side, he quickly cut into the penalty area.

Through this crossover, the two players pulled the Stoke City defense.

After Ibrahimovic grabbed the ball, he gave it to Danilo, who was plugged in behind, and rushed into the penalty area himself.

Danilo crossed the ball into the penalty area.

Gareth Bale failed to get the first point and the ball was cleared by Shawcross.

But this change in the way of attack made the heart of Stoke City coach Tony Pulis jump.

What is the most feared thing in the Iron Barrel Array?

Isn't it just that after being pulled back and forth by the opponent, he messed up and made mistakes?

If Gareth Bale got the ball just now, Stoke City would be very happy whether the Welsh man hit the goal himself or made the ball for Vidal, Neymar and Ibrahimovic who came in behind. Danger!

Therefore, Tony Pulis immediately walked to the sidelines, reminding his players loudly that they must pay attention to this new set of tricks by Southampton, but don't be fooled by their opponents!

"Southampton is going to play hard again!"

Standing beside Tony Pulis was his number one assistant, David Kemp, who also had a worried expression at this time.

Why do you say again?

Because I don't know how many times this is the game, I'm a little numb!

"Should we play a proper attack?"

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of data in his hand, which was covered with shocking numbers.

For example, Southampton's possession rate was as high as 70%, and Southampton's shots reached 28 times.

What about Stoke City?

Only one miserable time!

Is this still a showdown between Premier League teams?

Those who don't know must think that Southampton is ravaging the low-level leagues, oh no, even amateur teams.

Tony Pristo lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head, and sighed.

He also wants to fight back and attack, but the problem is that Stoke City can't do it!

"If we are distracted now, our goal will definitely fall in the next minute!"

It's not that David Camp doesn't understand, but he feels that Tony Pulis' actions are a bit like slow suicide.

God knows, how long can the players on the court last?

"David!" Tony Pulis clearly saw the assistant's expression, "If we press forward to attack, there will definitely be a problem with the defense, almost certain death, but if we continue to strictly defend, we may still have a chance to hold on! "

David Kemp was somewhat persuaded.

Tony Pulis's analysis is somewhat reasonable.

With Southampton's astonishing attacking power, it would be difficult for Stoke City to defend with all their strength. If they allocate part of their energy to attack, wouldn't that be their own death?

In the final analysis, it is still a word, the strength gap is too big!

But, if you continue to stick to it like this, can you hold it?

While Tony Pulis and David Kemp were talking on the sidelines, Southampton's offensive continued unabated on the pitch.

Ibrahimovic began to actively retreat and pull sideways, acting as the fulcrum of the Saints' activities in the frontcourt, responding to Toni Kroos, Varane and Harvey Martinez from the backcourt, and even the goalkeeper Noah Il's long pass.

With the strength of the Swedish center forward, almost no one can affect him!

Therefore, Southampton simply began to change their tactics, actively using Ibrahimovic as the fulcrum of the team's frontcourt tactics, while Neymar, Gareth Bale and Vidal actively surrounded Ibrahimovic. Vicky came to attack.

Just like this time.

Javi Martinez sent a long pass from the backcourt, quickly crossed a large area of ​​​​the pitch, and fell to the left of the frontcourt.

Ibrahimovic pulled to the left and grabbed the first point. After controlling the ball, he returned to Modric who came in to meet the midfielder.

After receiving the ball, the Croatian midfielder got rid of the defender, took two steps forward, and passed the ball into Stoke City's big penalty area with a through ball.

Neymar has already ambushed here, received a pass from Modric in the penalty area, faced Robert Huth, suddenly accelerated after an emergency stop, and took advantage of his flexible speed to push the tall and strong Robert Huth Get left behind.

After pulling out a position, Neymar made a cross with his left foot and passed the ball back.

Gareth Bale inserted into the penalty area very fast, rushing up like a bolt of lightning.

The ball arrives! People are here!

Welsh Flying Wing swung his left foot, and it was a volley!

Begovic's reaction is also quite fast, and his body moves very flexibly. The moment Neymar made a pass, he reacted and moved quickly to the right, and his position was slightly outside.

But don't underestimate this, it greatly blocked Gareth Bale's shooting angle.

The Welshman's inevitable volley hit Begovic directly and bounced into the penalty area.

Shawcross immediately cleared the ball out of the big penalty area.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the crisis had been slightly lifted.

But who would have thought that, just when the Stoke City team was a little slack, Shawcross's clearance ball fell outside the penalty area, just in front of Swedish center Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede estimated that it was about 30 meters away from the goal.

In front, Begovic has already fallen to the ground, standing on the left side, it is impossible to make another save.

Ever since, the Swedish center quickly ran towards the ball, predicting where the ball will land, and facing the ball, swung his right foot up, and it was a powerful volley!

Everyone in the entire St. Mary's Stadium was stunned!

Just now Gareth Bale made such a dangerous shot, but failed to score. Everyone thought that this wave of offense would come to an end.

Who would have thought that Shawcross's clearance ball, so alive, fell on Ibrahimovic's route.

And what about the Swedes?

Yigao is bold, from a distance of 30 meters, he directly shoots in the air!

The ball climbed up slightly, then fell slowly, and at an extremely fast speed, in the blink of everyone's eyes, it completed the distance from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's feet to the bottom of the goal net!
