After the FIFA match day ended, Southampton's main players were affected to a certain extent.
But fortunately, Southampton's main force is in the national team and may not be the main force. Just like Wundt, he only played for half this time. Giroud served as a substitute for two games. Even veteran Klose was in the national team.
The team only played half a game, after all, Loew now has to train new players at the center position.
The ones who played more games were Vidal, Lovren, Navas, Ronaldo, and Mkhitaryan. They all played basically the entire game in the national team, but Mkhitaryan was in Southampton before.
He hasn't played many games and his physical fitness is quite good.
The next round of the league is an away game against Arsenal.
This is a test, especially when there is the Europa League next week.
With the national team match day and the European competitions, the fourth round is often more difficult.
Arsenal was even worse than Southampton in the first three rounds, taking just one point. First, they tied with Newcastle United, then were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool. In the third round, they were beaten 8-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Two! It’s simply too horrible to look at.
However, such a strong team seems to be starting to break out at this time.
After all, they still have strength.
Their performance is turbulent mainly because the departure of a core player like Cesc Fabregas will definitely have a huge impact.
In addition, all the teams we encountered in the league were strong teams, so we were beaten so badly.
Just by knowing their shame and then being brave, you can know that their condition should gradually recover.
At this time, Southampton came to their door, which gave them a good opportunity.
"This is also a good opportunity for us... Arsenal's current state can be said to be the worst in several years. We have many national team members, and their national team has more members. We are distracted by the Europa League, and they will be divided by the Champions League.
Heart! From any angle, except playing at their home court, we are not at a disadvantage, so we will definitely win this game!"
Ji Ya was cheering for his players, and the players nodded - they thought there was nothing wrong with this, since they had even beaten Barcelona. In the past few years, Arsenal had met Barcelona once in the Champions League.
They were beaten once, so it is normal for them to win against Arsenal!
Wenger actually has a headache recently.
Arsenal is now full of injured troops. Wilshere, Vermaelen, Squillaci and Diaby are all absent due to injuries. Gervinho and Alexander Song are both suspended. These
Although they are not all the main players, they are either the main players or the main substitutes. Six people cannot play, which will of course have an impact on the combat effectiveness.
In comparison, Southampton's overall situation is much better.
When Noriya got Arsenal's starting lineup, he laughed.
Goalkeeper Szczesny, right back Sagna, left back Gibbs, the center back is partnered by new players Per Mertesacker and Koscielny, and the 19-year-old Ghana-England double is deployed in the midfield midfielder position.
National teenager Frimpong - this young defensive midfielder played in the second round, and then received two yellow cards and was sent off in the 70th minute. After he came off, Liverpool scored two goals in a row - but Wenger now
There is indeed no one available at the midfielder position, so we can only use him.
Partnering with him is the equally young Ramsey. Under the protection of these two young people is the newly joined Arteta, Walcott and Russian Arshavin on the wings. Robin van Persie is forward as the lone forward, Chamberlain
and Benayoun both sat on the bench.
"The offensive combination is very good. It's hard to say about the midfielders and defenders. Two central defenders who are tall enough to turn around slowly, and two young defensive midfielders... Wenger is really bold. I wouldn't dare to do this if it were me.
." Ji Ya said to Benali with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't underestimate your opponent." Benali reminded.
"Of course." Ji Ya chuckled.
He did not underestimate his opponents, but Arsenal is indeed very vulnerable now, not only because of their youth - there are three midfielders, one is a newly promoted second team player, Ramsey is only 20 years old, and he is
He has been loaned out for the whole season. He only stayed in the first team after the transfer of Fabregas and Nasri. As for Arteta, who serves as the core of the organization's midfielder, he is a newly joined player. Such a midfield combination, said
It gives me a headache even when I wake up.
Southampton's midfielder also changed two people. At least Dembele is a veteran player, and Matuidi and Vidal are both stars in their playing years, so it is of course much easier to integrate.
Arsenal's midfielder, a newcomer with two young players, makes people want to cry when they see it. This is not called rebuilding, this is called re-laying the foundation!
Last season, several main players in Arsenal's midfield, Cesc Fabregas and Nasri were transferred, Alexander Song was suspended, old patient Diaby was injured, Prince Wilshere was injured...
Not to mention that Arsenal's foundation is not very strong. No matter how solid their midfield foundation is, they can't withstand such a torment.
Although Southampton's main players are relatively tired now, their substitutes are still much more reliable than Arsenal's substitutes.
He is also 433, with goalkeeper Navas, right back Klein and left back Blind, all of whom have not played in the national team. The center back rotates with Lovren, Jenkinson starts this game and Wundt
As a central defender, Kovac is not used because Arsenal does not have a high center forward. Of course, Jenkinson is more flexible and easier to use to defend a forward like Robin van Persie.
In the midfield, because Dembele played two full games with the national team, Schneiderlin got the chance to start, partnering with Matuidi in the midfield, and the attacking midfielder also rotated to Mkhitaryan.
On the forward line, William plays as the right winger, Nolito starts as the left winger, and Giroud advances forward alone.
This formation is different from Southampton's previous four-three-three, but it pays more attention to the offensive support on the wings and wide areas - this is also a variant of Southampton's tactics. After all, no team will use only one set of tactics to finish everything.
of the game.
Variations of the 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 to strengthen the midfield are tactics that Kiya will practice frequently.
Anyway, whether it is 433 or 451, their needs for players are similar, and there is no need to deliberately introduce different types of players and put them on the bench to waste.
Before the game started, Noriya shook hands with Wenger, then went to the home team's bench to chat with Chamberlain and then hugged him.
"I hope your performance at Arsenal will get better and better...but don't perform too well in this game." Ji Ya said to Chamberlain as if joking.
Chamberlain smiled bitterly. He was the main player at Southampton, but at Arsenal, his main position was not so stable. He had to compete with senior Walcott on the wing. Compared with Walcott, he has better skills.
Some, but the speed and impact are a bit inferior, so it's quite confusing.
Of course, this is all his own choice, and Chamberlain will not regret it.
