Chapter 835: Fantasy Iron Triangle
"Arsenal tried to get the ball into the box again, but Varane was very precise and blocked the ball."
"Give it to Cesc Fabregas, Arteta jumps over the wall on the spot and sends back."
"Toni Kroos stopped the ball, handed it to the team-mate in front, and passed it diagonally to the right."
"Sanchez received the ball, and Southampton's entire offensive width was wide open, making full use of the one-on-one personal abilities of the wide players to create threats."
"Sanchez...beautiful, got away from Gibbs, got down to the baseline, put the ball in the box."
"Position at the back post, Pogba, beautiful, header"
"Szczesny blocked the ball, it was Pogba again, and he volleyed again, the ball went in"
""
"In the 30th minute, Southampton scored another goal, 2-0"
"It was a fantastic goal from France midfielder Paul Pogba"
"It's beautiful, the first header was very tricky, but the goalkeeper Szczesny made a good save, but Pogba volleyed after landing, and no one could stop it. Fantastic goal"
Wembley erupted after Pogba's goal
All Saints fans jumped up from their seats frantically, cheering for this wonderful goal.
"Pogba, a 21-year-old player, made his mark in Southampton last season, and his performance is quite eye-catching."
"This season, the Saints introduced Cesc Fabregas and Di Maria. Pogba obviously also felt the pressure of competition. He was quite eye-catching in the first game."
"The goal just now showed Pogba's excellent physical fitness and excellent technical skills, and his reaction speed is too fast. Arsenal's defensive players are completely dumbfounded."
"Now, Wenger should think carefully about whether he should continue to stick to the opening tactics."
...
Klaus Michael Kuhn and others sat in the back row of the royal box. After seeing the goals scored by Suarez and Pogba successively, they clearly felt that in the royal box, Saints fans had an overwhelming advantage.
Because when the two saints scored goals, most of the people in the box, including Prince William and his wife and Prince Harry, were cheering and celebrating with Yang Huan.
This gave them a feeling that Yang Huan seemed to want to break the Saints into the upper class of the UK and become the Real Madrid of the UK.
"This group of saints is really strong enough"
"Isn't it? The core players are sold every year, but the combat effectiveness is so strong every year, it is really unbelievable."
"Wenger is probably crying to death now. I thought Southampton sold Modric and James Rodriguez, the midfield would be unstable, and if they sold Harvey Martinez, the defense would be loose, but the result ..."
"Could it be that this Southampton team is really invincible?"
Every word you say and what I say are all amazed at Southampton's performance on the court.
Klaus Michael Kuhn shook his head, "No, the Saints' midfield control has indeed declined, and their defense has indeed loosened. Wenger's judgment is not wrong at all."
As soon as the most senior Hamburg fan spoke, members of the surrounding fan delegation were a little surprised.
"Mr. Kuhn, why did Southampton score two goals in a row?"
"Yeah, Arsenal attacked so fiercely after the start, but they still failed to break through the Saints' goal. Compared with our Hamburg's paper garbage defense, this defense is simply a world of difference."
"Hey, are you talking nonsense? We are a Bundesliga relegation team, but the Saints are the European champions. Can we compare?"
Kuhn nodded, "Yes, Southampton's defense line is loose, but their defensive system is still there, and Laporte is indeed a good seed, but he is still immature and needs to accumulate more experience. Say, can't replace Javi Martinez yet."
"As for Varane, as long as he continues to develop according to this momentum, he will be the best central defender in Europe in the next ten years, and he may not even use one of them."
"Is it really that strong?" Someone couldn't believe it.
But Kuhn nodded very firmly and said: "Absolutely not false."
It's really hard for everyone to say this.
Kuhn has watched football for at least decades. Even if he has no professional knowledge, at least he can see the way by watching.
If even he is so confident, it is enough to see that Varane is indeed quite good.
No wonder the whole of Europe wants him, but Southampton would rather let Harvey Martinez go than keep him.
"In the midfield, the control has declined, but the Saints played more directly and more threateningly, by reducing the excessive and unnecessary passes in the midfield in the past, and passing the ball more directly to the frontcourt. "
Speaking of this, Kuhn sighed in amazement again, shook his head and said: "Ibrahimovic's scenery has covered up too much. In Southampton's fantasy iron triangle, a single player is singled out. Among the European attackers, their personal ability is ranked first, even the top five."
"What?" Alexander Otto was shocked, "You said, the three attackers from Southampton rank among the top five in Europe in terms of personal ability?"
What is this concept?
Among the European attackers, among those with the strongest personal ability, even if the old Ibrahimovic is not counted, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are definitely two. Three?
"Isn't it? Is it so strong?"
"That's right, don't Bayern Munich still have Robben and Ribery? Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, Barcelona's Neymar, aren't they also players with strong personal abilities?"
But Kuhn listened, but shook his head, "Impossible, Ribery and Robben are both old and have long lost their former courage. As for Gareth Bale, in terms of personal ability, he is really not as good as Nan The three of Ampton, as for Neymar, have the top five."
After a pause, Kuhn pointed to the field, "Look, Southampton's tridents are not far away, echo each other, and often cross positions, which is a disaster for any line of defense."
"Three attackers who can pass, control, burst and shoot, have very comprehensive technical characteristics, and at the same time their personal abilities belong to the top ranks of attackers. This is something that no line of defense is willing to face, because as long as they work well together, It will be full of all kinds of possibilities, and it will be hard to guard against."
"Not only that, Toni Kroos in the midfield is not only excellent in organizing and passing the ball, he is also excellent in attacking from the back. Fabregas himself is a striker, and his ability in the last pass is even more top-notch."
"As for Pogba, he will definitely have a place in the top midfielders in the next ten years."
At this point in the analysis, Kuhn paused again before continuing: "Southampton's tactics are very smart. They are not as obsessed with possession of the ball as in the past, but quickly pass through the midfield and hand the ball to the front three. Strong players, let them create threats, and the midfielder can also form an effective second offensive echelon."
As if to confirm Kuhn's analysis, Fabregas successfully intercepted when Southampton countered on the spot and passed the ball diagonally to Sanchez on the right.
The latter made a diagonal pass and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Suarez stopped the ball before Koscielny and blocked Koscielny with his body.
The Arsenal defender is also very experienced, and immediately stuck Suarez's angle of directly threatening the goal.
Seeing that there was no attacking angle, the midfielder Arteta returned to defense again, intending to attack the two. Suarez responded decisively, skillfully dribbling the ball, and just caught a gap between the two pressing. Pass the ball out.
At this time, Pogba, who was inserted from behind, had already ambushed at the front of the penalty area. As soon as he saw the ball coming out, he immediately took a big stride to catch up with it. zero
"God, are you crazy?"
"In the 37th minute, Southampton made another victory, 3-0"
"Pogba, Paul Pogba scored twice"
"Three goals conceded in the half, it was a disaster for Arsenal"
"Wenger looked very angry on the sidelines. After the team lost 2-8 away to Manchester United in the 2011-2012 season, Arsenal never conceded three goals in a half, but this game In the game, Southampton scored three goals."
Unlike Wenger, Bielsa kept shouting from the sidelines, signaling the team to continue pressing.
Obviously, he has found a loophole in Arsenal's defense.
"We noticed that the three goals were initiated from Sanchez's side and Gibbs' performance was disappointing."
"It can be seen from the game that Sanchez is still cruising in the gaps of Arsenal's defense line. He always appears between Arsenal's midfield and defense line, which brings Gibbs' marking. A certain degree of difficulty."
"His excellent personal ability makes it easy for Gibbs to give him one-on-one once he leaves the position, but if he does not leave the position, he cannot immediately press him, and Sanchez's inside cut is also quite Threat."
"Comparatively speaking, Hazard's performance on the left is relatively mediocre. The cooperation with Suarez is obviously different from that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and with the adjustment of the team's midfield, Hazard must also adjust. His own role, he should still be in the adjustment stage."
"But judging from the performance of this game, Southampton's offense has not weakened as the outside world guessed, but has been further improved, especially the front trident, which has really become stronger."
"Even, we have every reason to expect that when this set of tridents is finished, Southampton's powerful attack power that is superior to Europa will surely return, and we will see a Saints attacking like a wave again."
That is, as soon as the commentator's voice fell, Sanchez got the ball in the frontcourt and was flanked by two players. He had to knock the ball back and gave it to Danilo.
The Brazilian right back penetrated into the 30-meter area. After getting the ball, he was pressed by Cazorla and crossed to Fabregas.
The Spanish midfielder saw Suarez drop back and immediately passed the ball to Suarez.
At the front of the penalty area, Suarez used his body as a cover to block Mertesacker and Koscielny who were facing enemies behind him, and knocked the ball back to Pogba.
Pogba, on the other hand, saw the opportunity and sent the ball into the penalty area with a through ball.
I saw that Hazard, who had always been tepid in this game, suddenly slanted into the penalty area from the left rib, and stopped the ball before Juanfran.
This stop surprised Juan Fran, and immediately followed suit.
But the Belgian winger suddenly made another dunk in the opposite direction, dunking Juanfran abruptly.
Next, with a rubbing shot with his right foot, the ball crossed an arc and crashed into the upper right corner of the goal amidst Szczesny's jaw-dropping gift.
At this moment, the deathly silence of Wembley Stadium
four to zero
Is this the rhythm of another massacre?
