Chapter 546: You Can't Afford It!

80_80813Yang Huan said that Mancini's tactics were too mechanical and lacked adaptability, which was really true.

After Southampton's opener, the Saints continued their fierce assault on Manchester City in accordance with Bielsa's instructions and arrangements.

Again, the focus falls on the two side roads.

Manchester City's tactics and the positioning of the players seem to be very flexible, but in fact, it is easy to expose the flanks.

So, with the Saints taking advantage of it, Gareth Bale and Neymar could easily get one-on-one opportunities on the wings.

For the Saints and Devil Wings, one-on-one often means that the opponent is decided.

No, less than five minutes have passed since the last goal, Modric passed diagonally behind McConn in the middle, Neymar received the ball and faced Zabaleta, one-on-one, the Brazilian star made consecutive feints, shook Zabaleta and crossed low to the middle.

Vidal inserted it back, and pushed with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area, breaking through Manchester City's goal again, 2-0!

This goal once again made Mubarak slap his forehead hard, and he felt a lot of heartache.

But Southampton doesn't seem to be planning to stop there, and continue to bomb indiscriminately.

On the left side again, it was Neymar one-on-one, and after forcing a break through Zabaleta, he crossed the ball high.

Ibrahimovic headed the goal, Joe Hart flew to save, the ball fell into the penalty area, Gareth Bale came at a gallop, picked up the leak successfully, and pushed the empty goal, 3-0!

With just 25 minutes to play, Southampton had already scored three goals!

This suddenly made all the Saints fans excited!

What was even more shocking was that it took the first 25 minutes, and even 30 minutes, for City to have their first shot of the game, and it was a non-threatening shot.

"Oh my God, it's not that big, is it?"

Mubarak's expression looked like he was about to cry.

The match between the second and third places in the league standings turned out to be a one-sided 3-0 in 30 minutes.

Isn't that the rhythm of the big score?

But just when everyone was expecting Southampton to continue their bombardment, Mancini made an adjustment.

From the original back three, the formation changed back to the back four.

Although it was still unstable and was still pressed and beaten by Southampton, at least the defensive weakness was not so obvious.

But Mancini didn't seem to think it was enough, and couldn't wait for the half-time break, replacing the sad Zabaleta with Nasri.

The Argentine full-back was on the verge of being sifted by Neymar throughout the first half!

The new Nasri focused on strengthening the ball in midfield, with Stroman and Yaya Toure forming a back two.

That allowed City to survive the final minutes of the first half.

In the second half, Manchester City made a half-time adjustment and the situation improved.

But Southampton held the three balls firmly in hand, and began to play more patiently, and the three lines were kept more compact, and there was a big posture for Manchester City to attack and wait for an opportunity to play a counterattack.

This made Mancini feel very depressed, because they didn't have the courage to attack it at all!

The game can only continue to kill time like this.

Although Manic made a substitution at one point and tried to play a counter-attack, Southampton's defense was not bad, especially Nemanja Matic in the midfield position, which made everyone very reassured.

Seeing Manchester City and Southampton playing back and forth on the pitch, but never able to open the situation, and the score was still 3-0, Mubarak in the chairman's stand shook his head and sighed.

"If we lose this one, I'm afraid we're done with this season!"

Although they are far from Manchester United, Manchester City have been in second place in the Premier League table since the start of the season.

But now, this 0-3 defeat to Southampton not only allowed the Saints to complete a counterattack in the standings, but also completely demoralized Manchester City.

In just 25 minutes, three goals were conceded in a row, and I really don't know whether it should be said that Manchester City's defense is too bad, or Southampton's attack is too strong.

Yang Huan sat next to Mubarak, and after hearing his sigh, he shook his head and smiled, "Do you know why?" ”

Mubarak looked at Yang Huan, as if to say please advise.

'You've hoarded too many players in the middle, David Silva, Nasri, Sergio Aguero, James Milner and others are leaning towards the middle, and your tactical width is mainly based on full-backs such as Kolarov, McConn, Klich and Zabaleta.

In a way, Mancini's move to the front of Kolarov and McCone in this game was also out of the psychology of ensuring the attack on the flanks and creating tactical width.

'But you have to be clear that the full-backs are always full-backs, McCone is getting old, it's not getting better with each day, he can't control the whole wing by himself like he did at his peak, and Kolarov is the same.'

Yang Huan's words were very frank and to the point.

"There is a shortage of attacking players on the wing, but the middle is very bloated, David Silva and Nasri are overlapping, plus Aguero, and Yaya Toure, who loves to plug in the attack, your entire middle of Manchester City can almost be said to be overcrowded, and the allocation of resources is unreasonable!"

"There is also a midfielder, Yaya Toure is not willing to be a midfielder at all, Stroman has both attack and defense, but he has never been a top midfielder, which makes Manchester City's midfielder very weak in the protection of the defensive line!"

Thinking of this, Yang Huan wanted to say that you are missing a Matic.

But on second thought, Nemanja Matic is a player that Bielsa values very much, and with him, Southampton will have a stable B plan, and the midfield rotation will be much easier.

If he talks too much and makes Mubarak's heart moved, the money is no problem, and he throws out twenty or thirty million pounds, Southampton will not suffer, but in these years, where to find a steady, plug-and-play strong midfielder like Matic?

Is it possible to pull Xavi Martinez back into midfield?

But looking at the pitch, the Spaniards are in the backline, commanding the commanding style, how can they be willing to let him return to the midfield?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yang Huan remained silent.

Mubarak was also silent.

Yang Huan's words are indeed very frank, it can be said that he has cut his heart and lungs, and he almost pointed at their noses and scolded them nakedly, you are a group of ball blinders, you only know how to pile up stars, and you don't know how to form a team reasonably at all.

With David Silva and Nasri, isn't it just a pile of stars?

"Young Master Huan, then you mean that we need a strong side breaker?"

Yang Huan looked at this guy's eyes, something was not quite right, but he still nodded and said, "That's the truth." ”

Mubarak was talking to himself.

"Nasri and David Silva are both possessive, so what we need most at Manchester City is a strong wide breaker like Gareth Bale, especially after looking at his game ......"

"Huh?" Yang Huan was a little stunned when he heard it on the side.

You're trying to poach me, right?

"Young Master Huan, sell Gareth Bell to us!"

Yang Huan immediately shook his head and smiled: "Brother, let's stop talking about this!" ”

"Why?" Mubarak was depressed.

Gareth Bale is good, he has adapted to the Premier League, he has proven his strength, and he has shined again this season, absolutely amazing!

Originally, Mubarak thought that Neymar was good, but Neymar also belonged to the type that preferred to possess the ball, so he finally felt that Gareth Bale was good, and he was a British player, so it was worth introducing!

Who knows, Young Master Huan's words made him almost fall headlong.

"You can't afford it!"

Buy...... Can't afford it?

Mubarak felt as if he had been insulted!

Will the big local giants Manchester City team not be able to buy Gareth Bale?

"Okay, we don't need to talk about this anymore, if you want to bring in players, our scouting system in Southampton can help you with some advice, but if you want to bring in Gareth Bale, forget it, we won't sell it!"

When Yang Huan said this, Mubarak felt better.

It's right to think about it, Gareth Bale has only been in Southampton for one season, and he is a Saints academy, how can Yang Huan sell it lightly?

Besides, Ega? S Bell's current name and influence, even if he wants to transfer, I'm afraid Southampton will not let him transfer to a Premier League competitor, isn't this weakening himself and a strong opponent?

How could Young Master Huan do such a thing that harms himself and others?

"Young Master Huan, this is what you said, if you decide to sell, you must remember to inform us!"

"Alright, alright, got it!"

Yang Huan directly started haha and pushed up Tai Chi.

…………

This game, which attracted the attention of the whole world, finally ended with Southampton's 3-0 home win over Manchester City.

Southampton, who are playing at home, won this game, won three points, accumulated 53 league points, reversed Manchester City, and ranked second in the Premier League standings.

Manchester United won 20, drew 3 and lost 3, won 63 points, and ranked first in the Premier League.

With 12 rounds of the league remaining, it is unlikely that any team will be able to shake Manchester United's title position.

This also caused the entire British media to start to promote Manchester United's lead after this round of matches.

The Red Devils won the championship, this is already an ironclad fact, the difference is in which round is determined.

Just kidding, if you lead by 10 points and end up losing the title, is it still Ferguson? Or Manchester United?

On the contrary, it is the battle for the top four in the league, Manchester City lost this round of away games, and was shortened by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, and the three teams are only one point away from each other, and they may be defeated at any time.

As for Arsenal, they are still a little far from Tottenham Hotspur, who are fifth in the league, and it may not be so easy to compete for the top four in the league.

It is worth mentioning that Newcastle, the chairman of the second pen, Ashley, after sacking Alain Pardew, instead of changing the coach and changing the knife, slipped step by step, and unknowingly, it has fallen to the sixteenth place in the league.

The relegation zone is just one step away!

This also made the British media feel embarrassed.

In the first few rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle was so beautiful, but now it has fallen to relegation, which is really emotional.

But Yang Huan has never had the habit of pitying his opponents, because he believes that poor people must have something to hate.

Newcastle will have such a big landslide, and it is estimated that it is inseparable from their internal relationship.

Besides, after Yang Huan and Mubarak watched the 26th round of the Premier League, they immediately set off from Southampton to London, and then took a plane from Heathrow Airport to Miami, USA.

At the same time, the core executives of several European giants have also gathered in Miami, which has aroused the attention of the media in the United States and even around the world.

Because, the annual group draw ceremony of the International Champions Cup will be held here.

And many media have speculated that so many football bigwigs gather together, maybe there will be some big news.

For example, negotiating a player's transfer or something
