FA Cup final, Wembley Stadium.

Dalglish sat in the dugout with his chin in his hands and stared at the pitch with a brow.

Hit the plan

Steve Clarke, the assistant coach on the side, couldn't sit still for a long time, stood on the sidelines and watched, shouting a few words to the court from time to time to remind the players to note

This is a very experienced assistant coach and even has the ability to take charge on his own.

At the beginning, Liverpool saw that Dalglish had not coached for many years and was a little out of touch with modern football, so they invited the former Mourinho assistant to Liverpool to assist Dalglish.

Therefore, the prestige of this assistant coach in the team is not small.

But even so, it still can't change Liverpool's disadvantage on the pitch.

Southampton attacked Liverpool almost from the very beginning of the game, attacking the Reds' midfield and defence again and again.

And in this game, Liverpool also made big problems in the arrangement.

The goalkeeper is Reina, and the backline is Jose Enrique, Skrtel, Ag and Glenn Johnson.

In midfield, Steven Gerrard, Spearing and Jordan Henderson were a midfield pair, while Downing, Luis Suarez and Bellamy were up front.

The reason why Dalglish and Clark lined up such a lineup was more because they wanted to take the initiative in the game.

But what they didn't expect was that Southampton would press hard from the start.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, David Halaba, Xavi Martinez, Gary Cahill and Carvajal in defence, Stroman, Nemanja Matic and Vidal in midfield, and Neymar, Drogba and Sturridge in the front three.

Tony O Kroos didn't even get on

This completely messed up the pre-match setup in Dalglish

Yesterday's two targeted training sessions, Liverpool were drilled around how to encircle Toni Kroos and suppress Southampton's midfield.

But yesterday evening, at a press conference in Southampton, Bielsa announced that Toni Kroos was out due to injury.

This disrupted Liverpool's deployment.

Today, in the last pre-match training session, Liverpool was unable to conduct tactical drills due to secrecy.

All Dalglish and Clarke can do is remind their players to be as careful as possible.

What does a saying come about?

Playing is the result of training, and if you don't train well enough, it's hard to play well.

With Southampton's strength, even if Liverpool is a tactical opponent, they may not be able to take the other side.

Not to mention that the tactics are completely wrong right now

The simplest point is that Southampton grabbed Spearing's point and kept playing, and Vidal and Stroman boldly pressed it.

Liverpool had no choice but to push Gerrard and Henderson back.

This leads to passivity across the board.

Steve Clarke, who was standing in the coach's bench area, looked at the time, then at the situation, and sighed helplessly.

"Kenny, we have to adjust"

Dalglish still looked straight ahead, and asked nonchalantly, "Replacement?" ”

Clark was speechless.

It's only been ten minutes to be replaced?

In the professional league, the manager will not make any substitutions in the first half unless there is a serious injury.

Even if it's a midfield substitution, it's relatively rare.

First, it is an admission of the team's tactical failures, which is a blow to the team's morale and the morale of the players.

Second, the player who was replaced must be unhappy in his heart, because he will feel that the head coach pulled himself to be a substitute.

If you really make a substitution now, the players will definitely be on fire, and the fans in the stands will definitely not be there.

"But the situation is terrible," Clark said worriedly.

"Southampton's midfielder pressed a lot, using Spearing to play the back, the effect did not come out, but exposed the weakness, Gerrard and Henderson retreated across the line, the defensive investment of the three players in the front field was not high, our defensive pressure was too much"

How could Dalglish not know?

However, Liverpool don't have a defensive midfielder to be trusted

Since Mascherano moved to Barcelona, Meireles has moved to Chelsea, and although Liverpool has produced a Lucas, the Brazilian midfielder has been injured frequently and missed this time due to injury.

He is also a good woman now, and it is difficult for him to cook without rice

With Vidal and Stroman taking turns to attack, Spearing made frequent mistakes after the opening and became nervous.

Henderson, on the other hand, is basically a soy sauce player, with no decent passing and no tables.

The only one who is more modest is Gerrard.

The captain of the Red Army is hardworking, and his skills and awareness are also very good, but the key is that he is old and no longer as brave as he used to be

"Bet on it, maybe there's a chance to fight back," Dalglish could only say.

Not to mention, after two or three minutes, Southampton's attack seemed to have slackened a bit, and Liverpool seized a chance and played a counter-attack.

Henderson, who had nothing to show for the entire first half, actually gave a diagonal long pass to deflect.

Bellamy quickly followed the right flank, chasing the ball and rushing up.

This move immediately made the Reds fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium burst into enthusiasm.

For a time, the entire Wembley stadium was filled with the cries of Reds fans.

Bellamy finally caught up with the ball on the right side of the Southampton penalty area.

When he stopped, he raised his head, but saw a figure flashing in front of him.

David Rabba actually returned

This kid is really fast

Bellamy had forgotten about it, and in fact she was about to turn thirty-three.

I saw the Welshman skillfully dribbling the ball, and suddenly with a feint, he wanted to shake off David River Laba.

Suarez and Downing were already up in the middle, and Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson also rushed into the 30-metre area.

As long as you get rid of David Rabbas, there are plenty of opportunities, and maybe even a threat

But at the moment when Bellamy shook off David River Laba, Harvey O Martinez, who had been assisting behind David River Raba, suddenly stepped forward and poked Bellamy's ball.

The Spaniard defended very decisively and calmly this time

After the ball was poked off, it fell behind Bellamy, and David Halaba quickly chased after him, grabbed ahead of the Liverpool player, and cleared the ball with a big foot.

The ball was not far away, and the spot was still in the Southampton half, at the top of the middle circle.

Drogba blocked Ague with his body, met the ball's landing point, and headed forward.

The ball bumbles back to Stroman.

The Dutchman looked in the direction of the attack, raised his head, looked at Neymar on the left, and then at Sturridge on the right, and knew what to expect, and waited until the ball arrived, stopped, and rubbed.

The ball arced low and flat and fast, and it could go over the head of Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique and fall behind the defence.

Sturridge is like a cheetah ready to wait, waiting for an opportunity to stare at its prey, and when the ball comes, it is immediately like a lightning bolt, quickly starting, sprinting forward, and leaving Jose Enrique behind in an instant.

This time, the crowd cheered and became the fans of Southampton

All the Saints fans were chanting Sturridge's name and cheering on the England youngster

After Sturridge got rid of Jose Enrique, there were no defenders in front of him.

Liverpool's other centre-back, Skrtel, was still a little far away, and even if he ran over to defend, Sturridge could already rush into the box.

It can be said that at this time, Sturridge's opponent was no one else, but himself.

Stop the ball, take the ball, and play this one-on-one shot

Sturridge was very quick to sprint, but he was also keeping an eye on the ball.

In order to avoid being caught up by Jose O Enrique, he did not turn to stop the ball because it was so slow.

He directly faced the landing point of the ball, raised his foot and gently picked it up.

When the instep of his foot came into contact with the ball, he knew that he had picked it.

The ball bounced, the body caught up, and the chest pushed the ball forward.

Although Jose O Enrique caught up, Sturridge blocked him with his body.

The Spanish left-back reached out and tried to pull Sturridge down behind his back.

But the Englishman just stumbled, but did not fall to the ground, but started again.

Facing the ball, both the man and the ball entered the penalty area.

Skrtel came, and Jose Enrique was behind him, but Sturridge didn't even look at them.

He just looked at Reyna in front of the goal.

This is his only opponent right now

Reyna didn't dare to attack, and his eyes were also staring at Sturridge, constantly judging.

The angle is too big, where will he hit?

Left? Right? Far angle? Or near angles?

Reyna was a little confused, he couldn't guess Sturridge's choice at all, he could only watch his movements and react instinctively.

Far Angle

The Spanish goalkeeper pounced on the far corner

But Sturridge hit a near corner with his left foot

The ball almost grazed the right-hand post and drilled into the bottom right corner of the goal

“goaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

The entire Wembley Stadium was suddenly boiling

In the stands, all the Southampton fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy, frantically raising their arms and shouting Sturridge's name

"In the thirteenth minute, Southampton finally scored against Liverpool"

"It was England's homegrown youngster who opened the scoring for the Saints, Daniel Turridge"

'The Saints striker has had an excellent season and has made a number of appearances for the team and has scored 13 goals so far, including in the Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup and Championship.

Sturridge excitedly rushed to the sidelines, celebrating his unique dancing to the Saints fans in the stands.

Behind him, Southampton's players pounced one after another, and directly knocked Sturridge to the ground.

"It's so exciting"

"Southampton played very resolutely after the opening and completely suppressed Liverpool with a wave of attacks"

'The Reds are very passive, now they are down by another goal and this game is going to be very difficult for them'

'This is Liverpool's manager, Kenny Dalglish, he should start thinking about it'

As the Southampton players finished celebrating from the sidelines and walked into the pitch, manager Bielsa was shouting loudly and waving at the players.

Those who are familiar with Southampton will surely know that Bielsa's move is a sù player.

Don't let up, it's just one goal, keep attacking me, pressing up, crazy attack

To meet a team like Liverpool is to be unforgiving.

Grab a soft underbelly, desperate offense, and fight for more goals.

Once you have slackened and when this tenacious team adjusts and stabilizes the situation, then you don't have a chance.

At the beginning of the Istanbul miracle, AC Milan led by three goals, but in the second half, after the team adjusted, it also scored three goals, and finally relied on a penalty shootout to defeat AC Milan and win the Champions League.

It can be seen from this that if you don't take advantage of the situation and fight Liverpool, you will be killed and disabled, and the hundred-legged insect will die but not stiffen, and sooner or later it will still fight back

Therefore, after the restart, Liverpool took the lead in sounding the clarion call for a counterattack.

Southampton, who can lead by one goal, is not afraid at all, and has a tough start to attack Liverpool.

In the football field, you come and go against each other, and wonderful scenes appear frequently

In the stands, in front of the TV, the fans were also addicted.

It's up to who's better
