Chapter 354: Reversal
The Swedish centre-forward stumbled and almost fell into the penalty area under the push of Rami and Victor Oruiz behind him.
But instead of falling to the ground, he opened his arms excitedly after gaining a foothold.
He didn't have to look, he could even tell with his eyes closed that the goal was in
He burst out of the penalty area and out of the pitch, and he could feel the shouts of the entire Mestalla stadium getting louder and louder.
From the stands, more and more fans were chanting his name
Someone shouted Zlatan, someone shouted Ibrahim......
It's a wonderful feeling
The whole person rushed to the bottom of the stands where the Southampton fans were, and he suddenly raised his arms and shouted
Suddenly, shouts from the stands poured down like a waterfall, sweeping him in the middle
At this time, the Southampton players rushed up one after another and hugged the Swedish center forward tightly
Equalized
It was finally an equaliser
'1-1 Southampton equalised'
"Eleven players huddled on the sidelines to celebrate, Southampton's performance was impressive"
'At the crucial moment, Ibrahimovic led Southampton to pull back the scores'
"The situation is now very favourable for Southampton"
"Southampton manager Bielsa stood on the sidelines, shouting loudly that he should now be telling his players to keep up the good work and try to break Valencia's goal again"
The camera panned to the home team's dugout.
'It's Valencia manager Unai Emery and he doesn't look like there's much of a reaction.
By the time the players were called back by the referee, the Saints fans in the stands of the entire Mestalla stadium were still not satisfied, and more and more fans got up from their seats and kept chanting, Saints
The momentum is getting louder and louder, and the cries are getting more and more neat.
The Mestalla Stadium seems to have become Southampton's home stadium
Yang Huan's hand felt a warmth.
Unconsciously, the cold iron guardrail was covered with the body temperature of his hands.
With a soft smile, he turned and walked back to his seat.
Manuel Llorente, the president of Valencia, who was still in the hands of victory just now, was full of anxiety and fidgeting at this time.
Seeing Yang Huan's smiling expression, he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at people.
"Don't worry, Mr. Llorente, the game has just begun"
A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the chairman of the Bat Legion, but he cursed Valencia's players in his heart.
It's too unusual, just ahead, and this time it was caught up by others
If it was away, it would have been fine, but now it's on our home ground
If it is really cleaned up by a Championship team, then in this La Liga in the future, where will my old face go?
Don't you have to be laughed off by those competitors?
But before Manuel Llorente could speak back, Valencia's attack had just crossed the halfway line and was cut off again.
Stroman again
"Stroman was excellent on both ends of the pitch in this game"
'This is the fourth time the Dutchman has won the ball for Southampton in this game'
With just over 20 minutes to play, Stroman was able to get the ball back four times, and Stroman's contribution was truly outstanding.
Ibrahimovic's goal just now started when he blocked the ball.
Stroman broke the ball and handed it to Toni Kroos.
The German was in a relatively high position, and as soon as he got the ball, he immediately fell into the entanglement of Valencia players and had to knock back again.
At this time, Stroman had already retreated to the open space, and after receiving the ball, he turned around, left foot, and made a long pass
Or look for Neymar on the left.
At this time, the front court is three against three.
"Chance Southampton three-on-three"
But as soon as Charlene Lahri's words fell, Neymar tried to dribble the ball by himself, but was cut off by Miguel and Albelda.
Valencia defended significantly more carefully this time around.
Seeing Albelda's big foot clear, Gary Cahill judged the landing point.
"I'll come"
The England centre-back rushed up quickly, grabbed ahead of Soldado, jumped high and headed the ball back.
He and Raphael Varane were both responsible for the team's first goal conceded.
If they hadn't missed someone, Valencia wouldn't have scored
This made Gary Cahill feel guilty and had a strong desire to help the team win this game.
Therefore, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he could not make mistakes again, and he must not make mistakes again
Stroman turned his back to the attack, chested the ball back to Gary Cahill.
Albelda soon appeared behind him.
The Dutchman was in good shape, turned to the left, and blocked Albelda from close quarters.
The Spanish veteran couldn't reach the ball at the feet of the Dutchman and had to stay in position.
But Stroman skillfully took two steps forward with his left foot, and suddenly a left-footed pass hit the ground.
It turned out that Stroman had been observing the situation all along, and noticed that the gap between Miguel and Rami was a bit large, while Neymar pointed behind Miguel and signaled that he could start quickly.
The Dutchman's through ball was very powerful, very fast, unbiased, and it was right between Miguel and Lamy into the Valencia penalty area
But Neymar's degree is just as fast
Miguel had been keeping an eye on Neymar, but when the Brazilian rushed up and waited until Miguel turned around before catching up, he was already at least a position behind.
After Neymar caught up with the ball, he didn't stop and crossed directly with the inside of his left foot.
The ball landed on the edge of Valencia's six-yard box and bounced off the ground.
Ibrahimovic had been waiting in the box for a long time, and as soon as he saw Neymar cross Miguel, he turned and rushed towards goal.
When the ball arrives, the person just arrives
Diego Helves did not dare to strike and watched Ibrahimovic rush up.
Teammate Victor Ruiz fell to the ground and slid to intercept the ball, but it was too late.
He was about half a second slower
Which angle are the Swedes going to play?
Diego Helves stared at Ibrahimovic, staring at his every move, speculating in his heart.
But time didn't give him much to judge, and Ibrahimovic rushed up and fired a powerful volley with his right foot.
Without any tricks, without the slightest hesitation, the Swede hit directly into the bottom right corner.
Diego Helvis judged the right direction, but the angle of the shot was too tricky
“goaLLLLLLLL”
Charlene Lahri was so excited that she got up from her seat and shouted loudly.
There's no way she's going to shout a goal like John O Mortenson, or Andy Gray.
But at this moment, her excitement is definitely worse than that of the two seniors
"Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, in the 33rd minute, he scored a goal for Southampton to make it 2-1 and Southampton completed the comeback"
The live TV camera was always on Ibrahimovic and never left for a moment.
I saw the Swede excitedly rushing to the left and hugging Neymar whole.
Stroman also rushed up from behind, and hugged him directly.
"Southampton's table was very, very good, Ibrahimovic looked very calm in front of goal, Neymar almost made Valencia's Miguel useless on the left"
"There is one more player who must be mentioned, and that is Stroman, the Dutch midfielder, who has been an eye-catcher at both the offensive and defensive ends of the pitch"
Soon, the live TV broadcast began to replay the entire goal just now.
"We saw that Stroman's through ball was very sharp, and it directly tore through Valencia's defense and found the most lethal weakness of the Bat Army, and Albelda had nothing to do with him"
Judging from the replay process, Stroman's through ball was just right.
Both the angle and the dynamics are impeccable
It is precisely because this kick is very comfortable that Neymar can directly cross after rushing up.
"It can be said that this goal in Southampton, Stroman is crucial"
"Over the past season, Southampton have been very impressive on all fronts, almost invincible"
"But it also exposed a lot of problems, such as the configuration of the midfield, after sitting on the two big midfielders of Stroman and Vidal, although Tony O Kroos has been added, the midfield's organization and overall view are quite good."
"But Southampton are still a little lacking in terms of creating power, especially in terms of penetrating passing, and they are not as good as they could be in terms of control, after all, there is no way to ask Stroman and Vidal to do what players like David Silva can do."
"So, Southampton has always felt more than strong, but not delicate"
"From Bielsa's adjustments over the past two seasons, it is clear that the Argentine maniacs have gradually shifted to the pursuit of delicate footwork after completing the formation of the overall tactical framework for Southampton."
"The introduction of Tony O Kroos is a reflection of this idea"
Charlene Lahri noticed that Valencia was conscious of the ball after the restart.
This makes the pace of the game a little slower.
So she went on to talk about Southampton.
'I remember having a one-on-one interview with Bielsa before the Carabao Cup final.
"He said something at the time, and I was particularly impressed."
He said that the great reason why Barcelona's treble won was that they used their results to tell everyone about the trend and trend of football, and to tell everyone what they are working towards.
"That is, with the compactness of the overall formation and the improvement of tactical execution, the space for individuals to hold the ball will be greatly compressed."
"The future of football will place unprecedented emphasis on individual ball handling, especially for midfielders."
"Because you can't get a foothold in a tight and compact defensive system that is full of tactical execution, let alone a ball pass like a Barcelona player does."
Bielsa reiterated the issue when answering why Southampton had brought in Toni Kroos instead of a defensive midfielder, arguing that the era of the type of midfielders like Essien and Gattuso is over and can only survive in the good memories of the fans, and that such players will not be allowed in the top teams of the future.
'The reason why he used Toni O Kroos as a central midfielder and Xavi Martinez as a centre-back was based on that philosophy.
"In his view, the defense relies on an orderly whole, rather than relying on the individual as it did in the past."
"At the same time, his philosophy is that defense and offense have been integrated, like a rubber band, the defense is pulled back, and the goal is conceded means that the rubber band is broken, but if you hold on and get the ball, the rubber band will bounce forward, and the further back you pull, the more he will bounce back."
"The resilience of this rubber band depends on the execution of this team"
"Judging by his words, we have every reason to believe that his transformation of Southampton continues"
"At the very least, the Saints are still a long way from the top team he has in mind."
Just as Charlene Lahri finished speaking, there was a sudden change on the court
