This Bielsa, as expected, is a madman!

Benitez stood in front of the away team's dugout at St Mary's Stadium, turned his head sideways, glanced at Bielsa, who was squatting in front of the home team's dugout, and sighed with a bitter smile.

If Southampton are determined to win this game, they want to continue to attack Manchester United.

Chelsea also have the same belief to win as they retain their top-four finish.

For this game, Benitez is fully prepared, and the arrangement of troops is also cautious.

When he took over the Blues this season, Benitez made an engagement with Roman Abramovich, who was only interim manager of the team for a year in charge, and Abramovic's real target was Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho.

But even so, Benitez showed his coaching skills.

From the 4231 of the Di Matteo era to the 4411 of the current time, Benitez's team has become more stable.

For four-two-three-one, Benitez is more familiar than anyone else, and this is his trick to fame.

But he also knows better than anyone how much 4231 demands on the wide players, especially the full-backs.

The distance between the full-backs and the wingers was stretched too long, and the defense of the whole wing was too weak.

Chelsea's two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Branislav Ivanovic, one is an older man and the other is clearly not the type to play on the wings.

Add to that the front, whether it's Mata, Adam Lallana or Oscar, the areas they are used to moving around are very close and the style of play is similar, and they are not the type of players who can play wide on the wings.

This makes Chelsea's entire four-two-three-one tactic very problematic on the side.

Therefore, after Benitez took over, he began to adjust the team and changed it to a 4411 tactic.

At the same time, Benitez also has a trade-off between the three talented players in midfield, Juan Mata, Adam Lallana and Oscar, and the three players can only play at most two at the same time, or even occasionally one.

The other starting spot, which he gave to teenager Moses, is a very fast African winger.

Although the technique and consciousness are a little rougher, the speed is fast and the impact is strong, and that is enough.

In this game, Chelsea still adopted the 4411 tactic.

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, while the backline is Ashley Cole, Benatia, David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic.

In midfield, Oscar, Frank Lampard, Mikel Mikel and Ramirez were in midfield.

On the forward line, one in front and one behind, Demba Ba and Juan Mata are respectively.

As for the Spanish countryman Torres, he has been beaten into the cold by Benitez.

Southampton's performance this season has been getting better and better, the team is young, the players have improved quickly as the season progresses, and Bielsa's tactics are unpredictable.

But Benitez is also a master tactician, asking himself about his starting line-up, although flawed, is already the strongest Chelsea can put out, away to Southampton, difficult to win, but not a heavy defeat.

But who would have thought that Bielsa would surprise everyone from the beginning.

In this battle, Bielsa boldly changed the formation and even changed to a back three.

Nastasic, Xavi Martinez and Raphael Varane, all three centre-backs are on!

What's more, in the midfield position, on Nemanja Matic!

Nemanja Matic was ahead of Pogba and Luka Modric to start at the same time.

On the front line, there is a double striker combination of Drogba and Sturridge!

And two?

Danilo and Gareth Bale!

Two players on the right and left, acting as liberos on the wing!

Faced with such a tactical play, Benitez almost collapsed.

In the past two or three years, I have never seen Southampton put on such a tactical play, why did it suddenly change?

But when it comes to the back three, Bielsa is a grandmaster, and his peak moment is to rely on the three central defenders.

Of course, his three-three-one-three tactics when he was in the Argentine national team were criticized by fans.

But in the coaching circle, his set of tactics is still quite admired.

Now, with the introduction of three defenders again, who dares to be careless?

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Benitez called on the players to be careful and reduce the formation.

But even so, Southampton began to bombard Chelsea's goal from the start.

Almost from the very beginning of the game, there was a lot of noise in front of Chelsea's goal, with the Saints attacking in waves.

In particular, the two wide liberos, who are fast, excellent runners and have strong individual ability, can go up and down, and have threatened Chelsea's penalty area time and time again, helping Southampton create plenty of scoring opportunities.

Just 20 minutes into the first half, Southampton had already had 10 shots, four of them on target, three corners, one offside, six fouls and no yellow cards.

From this number, you can fully imagine how fierce the game was and how fast the pace was!

Bielsa's game is clearly to take advantage of the home field, and use a fierce offensive to completely defeat Chelsea!

Benitez can't do anything about it.

There is a good saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No one, he can't help it!

"Didier Drogba, Sturridge and Nemanja Matic, today's table is very active!"

Sitting in the chairman's stand at St. Mary's Stadium, Yang looked at Abramovich with a smile.

The Russian accompanied the team to Southampton and was invited to sit in the chairman's stand and sit next to Yang Huan.

At this moment, hearing Yang Huan's words, the Russian's cheeks were hot and stinging.

These three players were all given to Southampton by Chelsea for nothing, but now, they are all famous!

Even, Abramovich felt that Yang Huan must have done it on purpose.

In this game against Chelsea, this group of Chelsea veterans was arranged to start, just to humiliate him!

This point is really wronged by our Young Master Huan, who has nothing to do with this kind of bad taste?

Besides, now is the crucial moment in the title race with Manchester United, and there is no room for loss in a game, so you can play so casually?

"It's a pity, Cech is so good!" Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.

From the opening kick-off, Southampton have pressed Chelsea on the offensive and created quite a few scoring chances, but Cech saved at least two of Southampton's must-score chances.

It can only be said that the Czech door god is back to the top tonight with the help of God!

Abramovich was shocked to watch, almost every attack of Southampton could make him break out in a cold sweat, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be scored at any time.

The most hated thing is that Drogba.

Aren't you starting to play as a substitute this season?

Why is this game still like a chicken blood? Table xiàn has to be so active, is there a bonus?

People who are a lot older, don't they know how to play leisurely?

"Roman, I'll discuss something with you!" Yang Huan turned his head sideways with a smile and said.

Abramovich's eyelids jumped, when this guy was grinning, it must be no good thing!

"What's the matter?" He seemed wary.

The look in his eyes seems to say, you ...... You're not trying to poach us, are you?

Yang Huan was depressed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I really don't like your Chelsea belongings!" ”

These words immediately made Abramovich depressed!

Can't afford it?

The dignified Chelsea lineup, you can't even look down on it?

But looking at the pitch and thinking about the Southampton line-up, Abramovich wanted to cry.

It's not surprising that people don't like it!

Where is Southampton now without a big player?

One is less, two is normal!

This is simply the configuration of Real Madrid and Barcelona!

"What's that?" Abramovich still asked warily.

Yang Huan smiled, "I see, this is just watching the game, it's not interesting, or, let's gamble again?" ”

"Bet?" Abramovich is sensitive to the word and has a phobia.

"Let's bet a little smaller, I've recently taken a fancy to Liverpool's Suarez, if you Chelsea lose, you'll pay for me to bring it in, if we Southampton lose, I'll pay for you to bring in a player, how about it?"

Abramovich looked down the pitch and was depressed.

Didn't I kick the donkey in the brain, and bet with you?

Now in this situation, your team is pressing my team to play, and I am still stupid to run to bet with you in the middle of winter?

I'm all right with my brain, right?

"Don't you dare?" Yang Huan made an expression, you won't be so bold.

Abramovich would love to say, who wouldn't dare?

But the only reason left in his mind told him that now was really not the time to be willful.

"So, I'll give you a ball!" Yang Huan said very boldly.

Abramovich still did not dare to squeak.

Looking at the situation below the pitch, even if Southampton concedes a ball, it is not safe.

Completely pressed and hit, when to lose the ball, who knows?

"Big deal, I'll let you have two balls, okay?" Yang Huan was depressed, so he almost didn't ask, didn't you hide the little Roman in the safe and didn't dare to take it out, right?

I've given you two balls, and you still don't dare?

Abramovich did have a phobia of Yang Huan, so he had no choice but to smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, I cut off my fingers and swear to quit gambling!" ”

I rub!

Yang Huan looked at his hand, Abramovich didn't have time to hide it, he saw it, the ten fingers were all good, how can you say that you have quit gambling by chopping your fingers?

But speaking of which, he also understands that this guy definitely doesn't dare to bet!

"Oh, forget it, if you don't gamble, I can't force you, right?"

Abramovich breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Yang Huan's next sentence made him almost go away.

"Since you don't dare to bet, then I'll just bet with my left hand and right hand!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Huan raised his hands.

"Left hand, left hand, how many balls do you think you can win?"

"Win at least four!"

"So little? I think I can win five! ”

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"Okay, whoever loses will strip naked and run naked!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Abramovich wanted to cry when he listened to it, this is too much of a slap in the face, right?

Is it really that Lao Tzu is a dead man?

Still gambling with your left hand and your right hand? Still running naked if you lose the bet?

You're suing me, how can you run naked with your fingers?

But what does Abramovich dare to say?

was invited in person, but he didn't dare to bet, what can he say at this time?

But it was at this time that the situation on the pitch changed dramatically.

The Southampton midfielder broke the ball and advanced quickly into the Chelsea penalty area.

Gareth Bale, who cut in quickly down the left, slotted to the left side of the penalty area.

Modric received a pass from Drogba and crossed to the left, and Gareth Bale took a look at the penalty area and picked up the ball with his left foot.

The ball arced and fell towards the back of goal, only to see Sturridge shake off the Chelsea defender, cut in quickly, and hit the ball directly with a powerful volley.

The ball arced across the right-hand post with great precision and into the Chelsea goal.

1 to 0!

Sturridge's goal completely ignited the passion at St Mary's Stadium.

Abramovich sat in the stands and secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Niang Xipi's, fortunately, I didn't promise to bet with him just now, otherwise...... R1148
