Chapter 834: Debut

"The players on both sides are already ready. The 2014 England Community Shield match is about to start. The two sides are the league champion Saints Southampton and the FA Cup champion Gunners Arsenal. "

Amidst the cheers of the on-site commentator, the opponents have already set up their battles on the court.

"Judging from the lineup of the game, both sides have tried their best."

"As a London team, Arsenal used a four-three-two-one tactic in this game. The goalkeeper is Szczesny, and the defense is from left to right. And Juanfran, who just joined from Atletico Madrid this season."

"Wenger is very satisfied with this right back, and judging from the pre-season International Champions Cup, Juanfran's joining has indeed improved Arsenal's defense a lot, especially the defense on the right."

"The midfield is still configured with three players, namely Wilshere Arteta and Ramsey, and the frontcourt is a combination of Cazorla Higuain and Ozil. This is also Arsenal's best performance last season. Strong lineup."

"Judging from the pre-season International Champions Cup, Arsenal performed quite well. Wenger also said in an interview that the Gunners have shown a very good competitive state in the summer preparations. He is personally very satisfied."

"Southampton's pre-season has been a bit of a disappointment compared to Arsenal's fantastic form.

"Belsa's team did not perform well in the International Champions Cup. Many people believe that this is due to the lack of a main lineup, but many people believe that Modric, James Rodriguez and Ha With the transfer of Vimartínez, the Saints' control in the midfield has been weakened."

"In this game, Bielsa is still adopting four-three-three tactics. The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the defense is Luke Xiaolaport Varane and Danilo. David Alaba was injured in the warm-up match before. Slightly injured, rest temporarily."

"The three midfielders are a combination of Pogbatoni Kroos and Cesc Fabregas, which is also very surprising. Di Maria, who just switched from Real Madrid this season, was even placed in the squad by Bielsa .”

"Among them, Cesc Fabregas used to be the captain of Arsenal. No one thought that after returning to the Premier League, Cesc Fabregas' first game would be against Arsenal. Therefore, we can see that there are many Gunners. The fans booed him in the stands."

"The front trident is Hazard Suarez and Sanchez, which is the least controversial"

"Judging from the list of Saints, Bielsa is still adjusting the lineup, especially in the midfield,

According to the previous games and training, as well as the information we have received, Bielsa still uses Toni Kroos the most, and if he needs to strengthen his defense, he will use Matic. "

"However, the other two players in midfield, Di Maria, Bogba, Fabregas, Oscar and Kovacic, both have opportunities, and the veteran Kaka can also play a role in many critical moments. The cards in Bielsa's hand It can be said that the face is quite luxurious, it depends on how he arranges it."

Accompanied by the clear whistle of the referee, the audience burst into cheers, and the game officially kicked off.

"Arsenal was the first to serve. Arsene Wenger kept pressing on the players from the sidelines. It was obvious that the Gunners were going to attack first."

"In the past, Southampton's attack after the opening has always been a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy, so the first attack after the opening may disrupt the rhythm of Southampton, and after Harvey Martinez switched to Bayern Munich, Southampton The two central defenders at Umpton have been inconsistent."

"So, Wenger's rush to attack at this time, maybe he wants to get a chance to score a goal."

However, Arsenal's first attack failed to break into Southampton's penalty area.

Ozil tried to pass the ball to Higuain, but the ball was intercepted by Varane at the front of the penalty area and destroyed the touchline.

"This is Rafael Varane, who is seen as the core of the Saints' defense for the next decade after Javi Martinez left. The opponent's attack is now organizing and defending, and the command is determined, very general demeanor."

"In this game, his partner is the young French central defender Laporte. He is only 20 years old and has a left foot. This is what Bielsa attaches great importance to. He once said that the left central defender is best left-footed, and the right central defender. It's the right foot, which is good for his system of defenders."

Arsenal's second attack still failed to work.

After the throw-in, Ozil cut to the middle, and right back Juanfran quickly put in the edge.

But Southampton's left-back, teenager Luke Shaw, quickly followed up and entangled Juanfran on the left side of the penalty area, forcing Juanfran to accidentally go big and the ball went out of the baseline.

For Luke Shaw's solid defense this time, the Saints fans at the scene gave warm applause.

Obviously, Saints fans also have high hopes for this local teenager.

"Here's another Saints youth, nineteen-year-old left-back Luke Shaw, solid defensively, goal kicks."

Arsenal's tactic is to attack after the opening, so Southampton's goal kick quickly fell to the Gunners' feet again, and the offensive quickly resumed.

It can be seen that Wenger's calculation is very shrewd and very firm, that is, after Harvey Martinez leaves the team, he will attack the weakness between your left center back and left back.

Who told you that the left center back is Laporte, and the left back is Luke Shaw, both young players?

But Arsenal's offensive line is also very clever, it is not the kind of direct attack, and that is not Ozil's style.

The Gunners' two frontcourt wingers, Cazorla and Ozil, are more inclined to the center and give way to the wing. At the same time, they can mobilize Southampton's defense line for the full-backs who plug in behind to take advantage of it.

The first time just now was just a test, and soon, Arsenal repeated the same plan again.

It is still on the right, still Ozil took the ball from the rib position, drew Luke Shaw out of the position, cut inside, and then passed back to Ramsey, who passed a diagonal pass to the side, Juanf Lan quickly plugged in and uploaded.

Fortunately, in the penalty area, Laporte grabbed the first spot very steadily, headed the ball out, and resolved a crisis.

"Arsenal's offensive is getting more and more effective. Just now, the first attack was just a test, but the second attack was real, directly attacking the penalty area. It seems that the Gunners' style of play has also been practiced."

Bielsa on the sidelines also noticed it, stood up from the ground, shouted a few times to the players on the field, and made some gestures. I am afraid that only Southampton players know what it means.

But the result presented on the court was that Southampton's formation retracted.

Both Pogba and Fabregas retreated to the 30-meter area, and even rushed to the front of the penalty area.

However, Arsenal's offense after the opening was very impressive, and the cooperation was quite smooth.

This is another time Ozil took the ball on the right. After finding Ramsey to cooperate, he crossed it to Cazorla.

The Spaniard hit the goal directly, but the ball hit Varane, followed by Wilshere who wanted to hit again, but was blocked by Toni Kroos in time to resolve the crisis.

"Arsenal's offensive after the opening was very resolute. They invested a lot of troops and played quite a threat. It's just a little less luck, especially at the front of the penalty area. They should be more patient."

In the case of several consecutive offensive setbacks, Arsenal are also adjusting, and began to try to get the ball from the front of the penalty area and pass it into the penalty area, taking advantage of Higuain's excellent scorer.

But the first time the pass was too big, it was directly confiscated by Neuer.

For the second time, Higuain obviously didn't understand Cazorla's passing intention and ran past, while Varane intercepted the ball.

I saw that the French central defender was calm after holding the ball, glanced ahead, passed the ball with one foot on the ground, and passed the ball forward.

Sanchez received the ball, was interfered by Gibbs who counter-robbed on the spot, and crossed to Fabregas in the middle.

The latter faced the direction of Arsenal's goal, faced the incoming ball, stopped and pushed.

I saw that the ball was almost along a straight line, passing through the gap between the two Arsenal central defenders who pressed into the arc of the center circle.

And Suarez, who has been waiting for an opportunity, is like a cheetah, quickly passing by the two of them, chasing the ball at the fastest speed.

At this time, in front of him, there were no defensive players, only goalkeeper Szczesny left.

"Single-knife Suarez" the on-site commentator shouted in surprise.

The emotions of all the fans in the audience were also mobilized.

attack

This is a decision made by Szczesny.

He wants to compete with Suarez for speed, and he will see who hits the ball faster.

Because he knows very well that as long as Suarez receives the ball, it is almost impossible for him to block such a one-handed attack.

But the facts proved that even if he attacked, he still couldn't stop it.

Although Suarez does not have lightning speed, he is not slow, and he is very calm.

Seeing Szczesny attack, he decisively grabbed the ball before Szczesny and poked the ball.

This stab just missed the attacking Szczesny.

After Suarez bypassed Szczesny flexibly, he caught up with the ball again and easily pushed the empty goal.

"...Suarez..."

"16th minute, 16th minute, Southampton scored first with Suarez"

"It was a fantastic counterattack"

"Solo goal from Uruguayan striker Suarez"

"It was Southampton's new signing, ex-Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas who delivered the wonderful, scalpel-like through ball for him."

"It's so beautiful, Southampton with a sharp counterattack, tore open the Gunners' goal"

"Who would have thought? Who would have thought? It wasn't the dominant Arsenal who scored the first goal."

"This is the most fascinating part of a football game, it can always bring you a huge surprise when you don't expect it"

The Saints fans at the scene were all crazy

Almost every Saints fan rushed out of their seats, shouting loudly over there.

Suarez rushed out of the stadium in one breath, rushed under the stands of the Saints fans, and listened to the cheers surging from the stands. He should have heard that all the fans were shouting his voice.

"Cesc Fabregas's pass was quite beautiful, the route and strength were just right, Suarez completed it very comfortably, and from this pass, it is not difficult for us to see Fabregas's pass Power."

"One to zero, Southampton temporarily takes the lead"

"Cesc Fabregas's debut, the first official game when he put on the Saints jersey, used a precise pass to open the door for Southampton to score, and also achieved a goal for his Saints career. Fantastic start"

"We saw that after assisting Suarez to score, Fabregas did not celebrate like his teammates. He was obviously taking into account the feelings of Arsenal fans, which shows that he still has great affection for the Gunners."

"Right now, the pressure of the game is on Arsenal."

"Will Wenger adjust the team's tactics?"
