Chapter 783: Good Chance!
Those who are familiar with and know Yang Huan know that he will not joke about two things.
One is affection.
Maybe in his previous life, he was just an ordinary otaku sling, extremely lacking in love, so in this life he was very greedy for love.
But greed does not mean that he does not respect love and does not know how to love.
On the contrary, because he is greedy for love and desperate to be loved, he will never joke about it.
This is his bottom line, and it is also his reverse scale.
If anyone wants to deal with him, he can, but if he wants to deal with his woman, it doesn't mean that Yang Huan will do everything to retaliate and nip all bad things in the bud.
One more thing is football.
Don't look at Yang Huan, he is a fool on weekdays, and he is not serious for a moment, but once he talks about football, he will become very serious and serious.
Imagine if a person with an unserious attitude towards football could form such a Southampton team?
There is a saying in professional football circles that there is a team with a certain owner.
It seems that there has always been such an inside story in the British media field.
Why do Arsenal always stand out in the first half and mess in the second?
It's not for nothing!
There have been several times when the Gunners have played quite well at the beginning and first half of the league, and even led the standings, and are fully capable of winning the championship, but why did all of a sudden, the team's performance plummet?
A lot of fans and the media like to find out why, what is the winter break, what are the other factors.
It's as if the winter break is really that scary.
Could it be that the devil's schedule during the winter break is really cruel to the long-term weekly double matches in September and October, as well as the back and forth of the national team schedule?
You know, the most difficult schedule during the winter break is after Christmas, and playing three league games in a week is really expensive.
But after entering January, it is the FA Cup and League Cup, which are basically on the bench and the youth team.
So, there has always been a debate about whether the winter break schedule is really that harmful.
But the long one-week double tournaments in September and October, as well as the long-distance national team competitions, these are indisputable.
So the question is, why did you perform well in September and October, but after the winter break, your performance plummeted?
Of course, if you really want to find a reason, it is entirely fair to say that September and October are exactly the results of pre-season preparation.
But it's really boring to make excuses like this.
There has been a lot of speculation in the British media that one of the main reasons for Arsenal's poor performance in the second half of the season was the lack of ambition on the part of the club's management.
Just imagine, when Arsenal is leading the Premier League standings, what the Gunners' management is thinking is, well, the goal of the top four in the league this season has finally been retained again, qualified, up to the mark, and there is no pursuit!
What the? Invest more to motivate players to keep their current leadership positions and compete for the league title?
Forget it, it's good to keep the top four in the league!
Think about it, what would the players think if they knew what the management was thinking?
Think about it again, has Wenger really shown his ambition to compete for the league title in the past few years? Or even shouting the slogan of going all out to win the championship?
There is a good saying, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears.
The attitude of the management determines the direction of a team and even the overall character.
Arsenal's weakness, in the final analysis, lies in the conservatism and contentment of the club's management.
On the other hand, Southampton, Yang Huan dared to shout that he wanted to win the championship, and he dared to take out huge bonuses again and again to stimulate the team, and he must do his best to win the championship.
Therefore, this saint is so domineering, so mighty and domineering!
To a certain extent, Yang Huan's character and pursuit determine Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Hamburg, Monaco and other teams.
Don't doubt that one day in the future, Yang Huan suddenly feels that the team can be relegated and satisfied.
I believe that by that time, the Saints are estimated to be the relegation team.
But is it possible?
It is precisely because Yang Huan is very pursuing now, so several teams under his command also pursue themselves.
Southamp and Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final at the same time this season, which is the best proof of this.
Not only that, even if two teams are like siblings, when they meet in the finals, it is also a death and death.
Why?
Because no one wants to lose!
Therefore, in this match at the Stadium of Light, the two teams were very intense.
From the very beginning of the game, the two sides entered a war of attrition with bayonets.
There was not the slightest fancy, although the enemy was injured by a thousand and the self was damaged by eight hundred, everyone was still crazy to devote themselves to it.
The spirit of the two sides also deeply infected every spectator and fan in the stadium.
They will be worried about every confrontation of the players on the field, every physical collision, every time they fall to the ground, and they will cheer unemotionally, and even the emotions of the on-site commentators will be mobilized.
"The referee for today's match is an international referee from the Netherlands, Björn Keppes."
The 41-year-old Dutch referee has officiated at the World Cup, the European Championship and the Confederations Cup, and is one of the heavyweights of this summer's World Cup, but his standards have always been on the soft side.
"Therefore, Atletico Madrid has a relative advantage in this game, they decisively adopted the lethal tactics of fouling, as long as they don't give cards, some of the fouls that should be fouled, or even those that shouldn't be fouled, are fouled."
"In this case, Southampton's attack is in a lot of trouble!"
"However, although Atletico Madrid is very fierce in the scramble and has done a very successful job, limiting Southampton's attack, but in terms of their own attack, Atletico Madrid has not performed well, and has failed to get any good opportunities on several counterattacks, and after switching to positional warfare to attack, there are no good ideas."
"I guess it has something to do with Southampton's pressing and oppression."
'The Saints' two centre-backs, Raphael Varane and Javi Martinez, have been quite solid, especially Raphael Varane, who is young but impressive.
"And the right-back Danilo, who got the start in this game, also performed well, in the case of Suarez on the right side cutting more to the middle, Danilo almost dominated the entire right side of the attack, and several threatening opportunities came from the right side, which also has a certain relationship with Atletico Madrid's left midfielder Isco not investing enough in defense."
"On the left side, Hazard was watched by Atletico Madrid, and David Alaba was also watched by the opponent's right midfielder, Koke, so the attack on the left side did not improve much."
"Now it is clear that neither team has been able to find a better and more effective way, and it will be up to us to see who breaks the current deadlock first."
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, he saw that on the pitch, Southampton launched another attack.
David Alaba on the left side wanted to move forward after receiving a pass from Modric, but found that Atletico Madrid's right side was already tightly entrenched, and there was no chance, so he chose to cross to Xavi Martinez.
The Spanish centre-back glanced ahead and had no choice, moving the ball to the right with a big foot.
"Or to the right and to Danilo."
'It's empty on the right side now, Southampton has a chance, Danilo moves forward!'
"After halftime, the diagonal long pass is going to Ibrahimovic!"
"Beautiful, Otamendi, go around the front and clear the ball."
'The ball fell to Ilya Ramendi, then to Gabi, to Isco.
"Isco chose to dribble the ball himself, break through, it's over, a beautiful individual breakthrough!"
'But Suarez fouled when he came back and the referee gave Atletico Madrid a set-piece on the left side of the pitch.
"It's not a great position, it's up to Atletico Madrid to handle it like this."
"Gabi sent it out quickly, or gave it to Isco, one against two, beautiful!"
"The ball is at the feet of Sko, it's like magic, unpredictable, pick up the penalty area, good chance!"
"Varane header clears ......"
But the hurried header was clearly useless, and the ball didn't fly far, but was picked up by Diego Costa, who caught the second spot.
saw Diego Costa's chest stop, and Javi Martinez immediately stuck to him behind him, entangled him, and didn't let him turn around.
But who is Diego Costa?
Kickers are very good!
Although this turn can directly hit the goal, but this is the big penalty area, the most densely defended area, it is impossible to give him time to toss slowly.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Javi Martinez sticking up, he immediately gave up the idea of turning around and hitting the goal, but blocked Javi Martinez with his body, and saw a short red figure running in front of him, and immediately passed the ball to the top of the arc of the big penalty area.
"Diego Costa passes, what a chance!"
"Tevez, kick the door!"
There was not a single figure in front of you at this time, and even Neuer's position leaned towards Isco's left, causing the entire right half of the goal to be exposed.
And Tevez's footwork is also very good, playing very tricky, directly a close volley, straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.
At this moment, in the stands of the Stadium of Light, countless fans couldn't help but stand up excitedly, as if they saw the birth of a goal.
But at this critical moment, Neuer made a miraculous save.
The German goalkeeper reacted very quickly, and when Diego Costa passed back, he noticed the short, red figure, and although he didn't know who it was, he knew very well that this person would definitely hit the door.
So, he started to move his position.
But when he heard the bang, he knew it was too late, and immediately reacted instinctively, flying to the right side of the goal.
The ball was powerful and fast, but Neuer's save was also very timely, tall and long, and after a side pounce, he extended his left hand and blocked the ball with one hand.
Tevez's shot hit Neuer's left hand and bounced back into the box.
At the critical moment, Toni Kroos returned to the penalty area and kicked the ball out of the sideline directly, giving Atletico Madrid a throw-in, but it resolved a goal!
The entire Stadium of Light breathed a sigh of relief.
Neuer also fell to the grass, gasping for air.
It was too risky just now!
If Atletico Madrid sneaks up on the goal, then Southampton is really dangerous!
Yayagobe's, this group of guys always shrinks back, but if you're not careful, he will rush up and kill you by surprise!
"How?" Tony Cross walked over and held out his left hand.
Neuer took his hand, got up from the ground, and shook his head, "It's okay, but these guys are so fucking unlikely, I'll put cold arrows on you if they don't make a sound, don't give them some color and see, are we still saints?" ”
Speaking of this, Neuer clapped his hands hard and shouted hoarsely: "Hey, the opponents have already been killed, don't shrink in the penalty area and shrink in the half, give me back!" ”
Just this sentence, combined with the save just now, Southampton's morale was greatly boosted!
