"It's too much of a deception! It's just a deception?! ”

'They Southampton are just too deceitful, do they think we have no one at Chelsea?'

In the chairman's stand at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich shouted furiously.

Beside him, club president Bruce Barker and chief executive Granovskia were silent.

The reason why the Russian was so furious was because he saw Southampton's starting line-up.

The goalkeeper is Manuel Neuer, while the backline from left to left is Luke Shaw, Nastasic, John Stones and Chambers.

In midfield, Mateo Kovacic, Youri Tielemans and Oscar lined up front, while Ravel Morrison, Harry Kane and Sturridge were paired up front.

On the bench were young players such as Anthony Martial, Prowse, Patrick Roberts and Halilovich.

Judging from the lineup, Southampton is indeed on the second team, and it should even be said that it is a combination of the second team and the youth team.

Except for one Neuer, there has been no main player in other positions.

The backline is better, Stones, Nastasic, and Luke Shaw are all important rotation players in the Saints backline this season, and their performances are also quite good, but the midfield is full of substitutes and youth team lineups.

However, if you look at it purely from the point of view of strength, the strength of the starting lineup of the Saints is not bad.

Needless to say, Harry Kane, England's leading centre-forward, joins Sturridge and Ravel Morrison in the England national team's attacking combination.

Such a lineup is also in the Saints, and if it is changed to any other team in the Premier League, it is at least the core main level.

Especially Harry Kane and Sturridge, they are both players who have scored double digits in consecutive Premier League seasons, how the strength can be seen, as for Ravel Morrison, it is not difficult to see the level of this player from so many big teams wanting to poach him.

In terms of midfield, Kovacic's strength is extraordinary, even Real Madrid favors him, Oscar is a popular international player of the Brazilian national team, the core of the midfield, Tielemans has just been selected for the Belgian national team, and is known as the most anticipated midfield rookie in Europe in the next decade.

It should be said that the overall strength of the Saints' starting lineup is not bad.

It's just that people are more angry than people.

Abramovich was angry that the Saints were on such a second or third team, but Chelsea, who were playing at home, had to play as if they were facing a big enemy, as if they might not be able to take out the opponent.

You say, do you make people depressed or not?

Both Granovskia and Bruce Barker had their hearts on their heads, but neither dared to remind their bosses.

"Kill them for me, you must kill them for me!"

Abramovich roared in an almost roaring rage, and his whole body was on the verge of going berserk.

Not to mention the importance of the FA Cup to Chelsea these days, Abramovich is so angry that he is angry at the thought that losing this game will be tantamount to giving the Saints the perfect season of a Grand Slam.

Anyone can win, but not the saints!

"Marina!"

"Boss!" Granovskia hastened to respond.

At this time, if she hesitates a little, she will wait to be criticized.

"Tell Hiddink that you must win for me and kill them for me!"

"Understood!" Granovskia replied immediately, but in her heart she was silently mourning for Hiddink.

You have to win, but how?

…………

…………

As soon as the whistle blew, Chelsea, who were the first to kick off, immediately passed the ball to the backfield.

As soon as left-back Baba Rahman received the ball, he saw Sturridge pressing towards him and crossed straight forward with a big foot.

The ball was clearly going up front to find the team's striker Mandzukic, and it was a good pass.

But the Saints' centre-back Nastasic got ahead of Mandzukic, pinpointed the Croatian centre-forward in a precise position, and then leaped high to clear the ball with a long ball.

This brilliant clearance won a lot of applause from the stadium at Stamford Bridge.

Obviously, there were a lot of Southampton fans in the stadium tonight.

The first attack failed to pose a threat and Chelsea were quick to organise a second one.

But this time, after attacking the 30-metre area of Southampton, the middle was out of line and had to choose to pass to the right.

Tielemans was on the right side of the penalty area, facing Chelsea's midfielder Calhanoglu, a calm break, but the ball was cut off by the ball.

After the break, Tielemans was the first to get the ball to Kovacic.

Kovacic dribbled forward, split to the left, handed it to Luke Shaw, and then passed it to Ravel Morrison, who faced Ivanovic with a deft and realistic feint, and after shaking off Ivanovic, Ravel Morrison crossed with a kick.

The ball quickly fell into the penalty area and Harry Kane slapped his horse into the box and slotted his head at goal.

Begovic flew to save the ball and was able to neutralize Southampton's attack.

The Saints' first attack, which resulted in a dangerous shot on goal, was not able to capitalise on the opportunity, but it was enough to send Chelsea into a cold sweat.

"This group of young Saints players is using their performances on the field to tell their opponents, don't be careless, we're not to be messed with!"

ESPN's TV commentator teased with a smile.

After the restart, Begovic sent a goal kick, but the ball soon fell to the feet of the Saints.

The Southampton players pressed hard and began to attack Chelsea.

'Although the Saints played on the bench, they were very strong overall, and the team's tactical play was basically the same as that of the main team, and the players were very strong in execution, which caused a lot of problems for Chelsea.

"But Chelsea's style of play has tended to be steady under Guus Hiddink, and once they concede a goal, they choose to retreat as soon as possible, never dragging their feet and not considering counter-attacking on the spot, which is a bit conservative, but it can help Chelsea achieve better results."

"The Saints play very patiently, Tielemans sits in the midfield position, looks like a general, although he is a midfielder, but the technique at his feet is very fine, the physical fitness is also very good, the defense is very sophisticated, the sense of position is very strong, it is indeed a rare good embryo, and he has been selected for the Belgian national team."

As he spoke, it was another collaboration between Tielemans and Oscar to steal the ball from Chelsea.

'Well, Southampton broke the ball again and Oscar passed to Tielemans.'

'Without hesitation, Tielemans quickly moved to the left and gave Luke Shaw.

'It can be seen that Southampton's attitude in this game is very resolute, that is, to play on the left side, let Lavel Morrison deal with Ivanovic, and Ancelotti's return to Stamford Bridge is very targeted.

"Let's take another look at the attack of the Saints."

"Okay, Luke Shaw passed to Ravel Morrison."

'Morrison got the ball on the wing and wanted to break through Ivanovic again, but this time Ivanovic learned his lesson, didn't get deceived by him, didn't have a chance, and passed back to Luke Shaw.

"Luke Shaw gets the ball, ah, a cross!"

"In the Restricted Area...... After......"

"Good chance, the ball is in!!!!!"

“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll！！！！！！”

"Sturridge, Sturridge!"

'In the eighth minute, Sturridge knocked on the Chelsea goal first, a pinpoint cross from the left of Luke Shaw and Sturridge slotted in from the right rib to head home!

"One to zero!"

'We saw Sturridge get excited and rush out of the pitch in one go, dancing under the stands at Stamford Bridge to celebrate another goal he scored at Stamford Bridge.

'The player who was sent to Southampton by Chelsea was very good every time he faced Chelsea, full of game quality and he always got the score.

"We don't know how Abramovich is feeling at this moment, but we can definitely guess that he must be uncomfortable in his heart, will he regret it?"

"When Sturridge was sent to Southampton, but now, Sturridge is the main striker of the England national team, scoring goals, compared to Falcao and Icardi, who have been heavily introduced by the Chelsea team, giving up Sturridge is simply picking up sesame seeds, losing watermelons, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

In front of ESPN's live camera, Abramovich looked a little disappointed, but he didn't react much.

Because he knew that the camera would definitely catch his reaction at this point, so he had to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.

But when he saw Sturridge suddenly rush to the front of the chairman's stand to dance and celebrate his goal, his face suddenly changed color, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"What the hell, what the hell, what does this bastard want to do? What to show? ”

Abramovich almost roared, and he almost felt the urge to take off his clothes and rush onto the pitch to fight Sturridge.

Since his success, no one has dared to show off so much in front of him, this is simply slapping him in the face naked, just ask, how can he bear this breath?

"What the hell are these bastards going to eat? When talking about salary, they are all treacherous like ghosts, but when they get to the court, they are beaten up so much that they don't dare to fight back, this is still a special professional player, professional bullshit! ”

Abramovich was so angry that he got up from his seat and couldn't sit down anymore.

He didn't even want to watch such a game.

Looking at the back of the boss leaving angrily, Bruce Barker and Granovskia glanced at each other, as if they saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The owner is so anxious!

Is it so simple, so easy to rebuild a team?

Not to mention, Southampton's achievements today still have to rely on Yang Huan's hard work in the past six years?

How is it possible to catch up with Southampton in a short period of time?

Since you can't catch up, you have to be mentally prepared to be beaten, don't you?

Everything has to be compared to Southampton, is it possible?

People have Messi, Hazard, Suarez, even in the bench, there are Brazil internationals, England internationals, but what about Chelsea?

Chelsea are now having trouble not only choosing a manager, but also bringing in players.

Besides, now in European football, there are more local tyrant teams that are not bad for money, and the value of better players is rising.

How is it possible that your boss is reluctant to invest, but blindly wants the team to produce results?

At Chelsea now, the boss is eager for quick success, the manager is difficult to do, the players are difficult to do, and even their management is also difficult to do.

Who's to say it isn't?

Just as Bruce Buck and Granovschia were tacitly eye-catching, Southampton II broke the ball from the feet of Chelsea on the restart, and launched another wave of counter-attacks.
