Stepwood Training Base.

The new training base has only just completed its structure and façade, and is surrounded by iron shelves.

At night, looking out from the youth team training building, it was dark and a little scary.

Southampton, despite their emphasis on youth training, have no way to equip their youth teams with the same high standard as the first team, but they are still treated equally with the first team when it comes to entertainment and training facilities.

In other words, what the first team has, the youth team will have.

It's like a recreation room.

The recreation room in the youth team's training building is even larger than that of the first team, and their televisions are larger than those of the first team.

Before every game, in front of this big TV, there is always a seat full of young players from the youth team.

Southampton away to Arsenal tonight is no exception.

When they watched the team's owner Yang Huan beat the drums for the Southampton players in the stands through the TV screen one by one, the entire entertainment room exploded, and everyone watched this scene in disbelief.

At the same time, they were able to hear the action from the Emirates Stadium in London through live television.

The Southampton fans completely suppressed Arsenal in terms of momentum.

Even if there are only more than 3,000 of them.

And Arsenal has tens of thousands!

But at this time, the number of people is not the key, the most important thing is unity, is to unite people's hearts!

"Young Master Huan is so good!"

"That's right, at least we have put down Arsenal in terms of momentum."

"If you win with momentum, the game will be much easier."

"Yes, the most fearful thing about this kind of game is that it will shock people as soon as it starts."

'Arsenal are possession-minded, don't let them get too comfortable with the ball, so momentum is important.'

The players in the recreation room were talking, and everyone's face was written with concern for this important match in London.

This is the first time Southampton have directly challenged the top football team in England, and each of them is curious to know if the team they play for has what it takes to challenge the top team.

Or, how big is the gap?

Jorge? Bernardo? Griffa was also sitting in the recreation room, and next to him was the team's scout Ramon? Madoni, as well as a number of other coaches and employees in the Academy.

Everyone is now very concerned about the situation in Southampton, where the expedition is north.

With the referee Philip? Dodd's whistle blew and the game officially began.

I saw Southampton set up almost immediately, pressing towards Arsenal's half.

Philip? Dodd blew the first whistle less than twenty seconds after the kick-off, awarding Southampton midfielder Vidal a foul on Cesc Fabregas for a foul near the centre circle.

However, Arsenal's free-kick couldn't stay in Southampton's half, Benatia headed back into the box and Manuel Neuer kicked wide and Brazilian genius Neymar took the ball in front of Arsenal's half-time and used his individual ability to attack Sagna's right flank.

"Bielsa is going to attack against attack!" Ramon? Madoni saw Bielsa's opening tactics.

But it also caused a lot of discussion in the recreation room, especially for the coaches.

"Although Arsenal's attack is not particularly outstanding, it is a British team, and the style of play has always been very gorgeous, very particular about ball control and technology, and it is a home game, as an away team, is it too risky for us to rush up and play against the attack?"

"yes, anyway, that's the third-best team in England at the moment, that's Arsenal!"

"Playing against Arsenal away from home, it's just playing with life!"

"I don't think so, we are a weak team, and if we play a strong team, we must take the lead, otherwise how will we play this game?"

"It's just that if you don't play like that, let Arsenal control the ball, it's going to be over."

There was a lot of discussion in the recreation room, and the players watched the game while listening to the analysis of the coaches.

After all, many of these coaches are in their teens, or even decades, and they have a lot of experience, and they can analyze a lot more than they can when they watch the game.

"Jorge, what do you think?" I don't know who asked Griffa.

Jorge? Bernardo? Griffa's football literacy is well recognized among this group of people.

"A normal start!" Griffa replied indifferently.

"We have been playing in League One for a long time, although the players are very strong, but League One is always League One, there are many things that are impossible to compare with the English, such as high-intensity games, if the rhythm is controlled by Arsenal, then we have no chance of winning at all."

Grifa analyzed this, and everyone immediately understood.

This insight is indeed very thorough, the strength of the players and the team is really important, but the most important thing in a football game is how much strength your players and team can wield.

Let's say you have 100 points of strength but you can only swing 20 percent, and against a team that has only 30 points of strength but 100 percent of your strength, you still have to lose.

Can you say that strength is not good?

It can only be said that the swing is not good on the spot, or it is not in good shape.

The head coach's arrangement and on-the-spot command are one of the important factors that determine the team's swing.

"Bielsa wasn't stupid, he was shrewd, he decided to take the risk and gamble, only gambling had a chance of winning, but he didn't arrange for Isco, but went to Schneiderlin, which was exactly a clever move."

Griffa just finished speaking, Ramon? Madonie smiled and nodded.

"Yes, many people say that Bielsa is a diehard, and even directly labeled him as a diehard, making it seem as if he never knows how to be flexible, but everyone knows that every team, every season, and even every game is constantly seeking change."

As a fellow Argentine, Ramón? Both Madonie and Griffa know Bielsa better than outsiders.

"The most important thing in this game is the midfield, suppressing Cesc Fabregas, Wilshere and Alexander? The Arsenal midfielder led by Song, then the odds of winning this game are great, once you can't hold it down, it's over! "Griffa's very incisive analysis and predictions.

Ramon? Madonie couldn't help but nod, "So, Schneiderlin is a better fit than Isco." ”

Having said that, there is still a doubt in everyone's hearts.

That's Arsenal, can Southampton's midfield hold it down?

…………

…………

"At the beginning of the game, the two sides played very intensely, the tempo was very fast, and the ball was exchanged frequently."

"It can be seen that both sides have not the slightest reservation, and both adopt the tactics of attacking and attacking."

'Southampton have the courage to play head-to-head with a team like Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

'This is Southampton's manager, Marcelo? Bielsa. ”

On the big screen at the Emirates Stadium, a big close-up of Bielsa's head appeared, and the Argentine habitually crouched in front of the away team's coach's box, holding the round brain shell, watching the game in front of him intently.

At the beginning, the two sides were still more tentative, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

Southampton's high-intensity midfield pressing caused a lot of trouble for Arsenal, they had a lot of opportunities to get the ball, but they were never able to effectively attack, but it was Southampton who played away from home, several times into Arsenal's 30-meter area, but could not effectively threaten the penalty area.

'It looks like neither side has been able to create good scoring chances.'

Southampton tried to open a way from Neymar's left on a couple of occasions, but Arsenal significantly strengthened their defense on the right. Song Du frequently pulled to this side to help the defence, which made Southampton's attack unable to create a threat.

On the contrary, Arsenal, who are more experienced in the end and are playing at home, quickly stabilized their position after the opening and showed their threat.

Among Arsenal's three midfielders, Alexander? After Song, Cesc Fabregas burst forward, Wilshere was cruising between the two, but with Schneiderlin dragging behind to protect the defence and the edge of the big penalty area, Fabregas didn't have many chances in front.

On the other hand, Vidal and Stroman kept Wilshere at bay, making it difficult for Arsenal's midfield to function effectively.

Cesc Fabregas was a very smart player and as soon as he realised this, he immediately pulled himself back from the front.

In the eighth minute, Cesc Fabregas retreated to get the ball, Schneiderlin hesitated and did not follow up at the first time.

After the Spanish midfielder got the ball, he had a cooperation with Wilshere, and when no one was defending, he went straight to the front of the big penalty area to find Van Persie, who pulled out of the big penalty area.

The Dutch striker stopped the ball and turned straight into the ball, and Walcott took it to lightning speed, from David? Alaba and Benatia crossed the middle and went straight to the goal.

Throughout the Emirates Stadium, everyone's heart was lifted.

Yang Huan even stopped beating the drums.

There are even many Southampton fans who cover their faces, afraid to watch the next scene.

Countless Arsenal fans rushed out of their seats!

Single Knife!

As long as Walcott receives the ball, it's a single knife!

That's the goal!

Neuer's attention was always very focused, but when he saw Cesc Fabregas passing the ball to Robin van Persie at the edge of the box, he was ready to defend himself against the Dutchman's sudden kick and his pass to the rest of his team-mates.

Especially Walcott and Nasri on both wings.

When he saw Van Persie really pass the ball, and then saw Walcoat tear apart his teammates' defense with lightning speed, he reacted immediately and abandoned the goal!

I saw Neuer rush out of the small penalty area, his strong and even slightly obese body, but with an incredible agility, those eyes were fixed on Walcott.

Walcoat was also looking at Neuer, he had absolute confidence in his degree, but he did not expect that Neuer's attack would be so decisive, without even the slightest hesitation.

If you continue to rush like this, will you hit it? Will it ram the goalkeeper?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and Walcott couldn't help but hesitate, especially when he saw that Neuer had not yet rushed to the best position, but had already flown to the ground to make a stretch, he immediately restrained it.

The ball crashed into Neuer's arms, and the German's big hands firmly held the fiercely spinning ball tightly, not allowing it to resist in the slightest.

In the stands, Arsenal fans saw this scene, and they all sighed involuntarily.

If it's a second late, or even a second, Walcott's one-shot will be there!

Damn Neuer!

The Southampton fans burst into cheers, and a sense of joy filled everyone's hearts.

"Neuer!"

"Neuer!!"

"Neuer !!"

All the Southampton fans were shouting.

Not only in the stands at the Emirates Stadium, but also the Saints fans waiting in front of the televisions, they were also shouting.

Neuer slowly got up from the ground, the ball still firmly in his hand.

"What the hell is going on with you? With such a big gap, are you blind? Don't see it? ”

Neuer yelled at his teammate in front of him.

Including Benatia, Schneiderlin, Varane and others, they were all drunk by him and lowered their heads.

If this one goal is lost, they are all responsible.

But it's hard to say who is fully responsible, after all, it's the gap exposed by the running and pulling of the Arsenal players.

"Okay, all up, let's counterattack!"

Neuer carried the ball to the edge of the penalty area, pointed in the direction of the Arsenal goal, and shouted encouragement.

At this moment, the German goalkeeper showed the aura and deterrence that a top goalkeeper should have.

The Southampton players immediately rushed forward in a flank of action.
