Chapter 203

Although Kiya's complaints are more about wanting Chelsea to introduce Southampton players, it is also true. Hazard and Oscar are all excellent players, but they are indeed not what Chelsea urgently needs now. On the contrary, Southampton

Whether it is Lovren, Dembélé or Giroud that Don sold this summer, they are all players who can fill Chelsea's vacancies. Seeing that such a rich man does not come to compete for his players, Noriya feels that he has at least lost.

Twenty million.

But for Di Matteo, his temporary leadership of Chelsea was originally just to put out the fire, but as a result, Chelsea's veterans became a rope under his idea of ​​making money by making money.

His strength was fully demonstrated!

This created the miracle of Chelsea winning the championship, and also made Di Matteo, who had only been coaching for half a season, become a champion coach who had won the Champions League.

But no matter how glittering the coat is, it’s the inside that matters.

Di Matteo is just an ordinary coach. He doesn't have any outstanding abilities, and he doesn't have many opinions on signings. The introduction of Hazard and Oscar was more of a decision made by the management, and he didn't have much idea.

More rights to speak.

Under such circumstances, he could only do his best.

In this European Super Cup match, he fielded a 4-2-31 lineup, which was also Chelsea's best lineup last season.

Goalkeeper Cech, the two full-backs are Ivanovic and Ashley Cole, the center back is due to Terry's suspension, so David Luiz and Cahill are partnered as center backs, and the midfielders are Lampard and Mick.

Er acts as a double defensive midfielder, Ramirez moves forward, Mata and Hazard are on the wings, and Torres is the lone forward.

Kiya sent a similar lineup, with goalkeeper Navas, defenders Klein, Font, Otamendi and Blind, midfielders Matuidi and Vidal, Mkhitaryan forward, and J on the wings.

Luo and Willian, Benteke's lone striker.

It can be seen from the lineups of both sides that although the changes are not big, Southampton's players are much younger. One year later, after a year of training in the Premier League, their strength has improved. But what about Chelsea? Theirs

The midfielder and backcourt are another year older.

The partner of the central defender, a typical British central defender, a somewhat reckless Brazilian defender, the partner of the defensive midfielder, a veteran Lampard, Mikel who has not been very decent in so many years...

Think about the center back partnership between Terry and Carvalho at Chelsea's peak, and the midfielder partnership between Essien and Makelele. Who wouldn't feel like it's a lifetime ago?

Obviously after winning the Champions League, the veterans got what they wanted. This is a good opportunity for a blood exchange. Sell some of the veterans and introduce four to five capable and young players to make up for the shortcomings in the lineup and replace them selectively——

It's not that Chelsea doesn't have the financial resources, but they didn't do this. It has to be said that Di Matteo, as the head coach, is not responsible enough in this regard.

Although the power of the club may not be in his hands, as a meritorious coach who has just won the Champions League, if he makes a suggestion, will the club still not listen to him?

It can only be said that even Di Matteo himself was confused when it came to team building. He didn't know how to change the team.

"At least this season, before they change their head coach, they will not be our opponents." After shaking hands with Di Matteo and returning to the coaching bench, Noriya covered his mouth and said to Benelli.

"Don't be too frivolous." Benali warned.

"Oh, you're right." Ji Ya nodded, then laughed and patted Benelli on the shoulder.

Ji Ya has been a little bloated recently, especially after defeating Manchester United and then being placed in a death group. In addition to being bloated, his mentality is also a bit unbalanced. This is reflected in his gaffe on the outside - but as a person

What can you expect from a young man in his twenties and under thirty years old?

On the field, the players from both sides spread out and the game began!

Noriya's tactics for this match are very simple, which is to attack and fully demonstrate his strength.

Chelsea's defense is aging, and although there are many outstanding offensive players, Torres's state in the past two years has been a mystery. Sometimes it's okay, but most of the time it's unbelievably sluggish. Hazard and Mata have no relationship with each other.

They are not familiar with each other yet, there is no cooperation, and Ramirez is not familiar enough with them...

It is difficult for such an offensive combination to really create too many threats.

Southampton's offense showed excellent offensive capabilities from the beginning.

Compared with last season, Southampton's midfield running and pressing abilities have declined somewhat, but their technical links and breakthrough abilities have improved a lot. This is also in line with Noriya's positioning of Southampton, which is to play offensive football.

This is enough for viewing, and at the same time, if you want to sell people, you can also sell it at a high price...

In just four minutes of the opening, Southampton almost created a chance to score - after receiving Mkhitaryan's pass, Ronaldo completed a beautiful breakthrough on the left, then passed the ball into the penalty area and into the center.

Both central defenders missed the ball. Willian, who was inserted in the back row, still shot immediately under the close pressure of Ashley Cole. This close shot made Cech unable to make a save.

, the next moment, the ball hit the crossbar and popped out of the baseline!

There were exclamations from Chelsea fans and sighs from Southampton fans in the stands.

"What a pity, keep attacking!"

Ji Ya shouted towards the court, and Southampton quickly started pressing in the midfield. Lampard originally wanted to take the ball in the back to organize an attack, but was fiercely pressed by Vidal, and

Compared with the strong Vidal, the veteran Lampard seemed weaker in confrontation and could only barely pass the ball.

After receiving the ball, Mikel wanted to pass it directly to Ramirez who was in front of him, but Matuidi judged it first and stretched his foot to intercept the ball!

After stealing the ball, Matuidi did not dribble the ball forward, nor did he pass the ball to Mkhitaryan and the others who were responding in front. Instead, he took off directly after stealing the ball and sent a beautiful direct pass to the ground.

ball!

This is a through ball sent directly from the center circle into the penalty area!

The two defensive midfielders were still in an offensive state just now and failed to react, and Chelsea's two central defenders also failed to respond defensively!

Cahill reacted, but he was still a little far away from Benteke who was receiving the ball. Lewis, who was closer to Benteke, had a chance to block Benteke, but he was obviously a beat slower.

I'm distracted...

Benteke, who advanced forward, quickly unloaded the ball in the penalty area.

Facing the attacking Cech, Benteke calmly shot into the far corner with his right foot!

Cech had no choice but to kneel down!

He reached out and couldn't touch the ball, so he could only turn his head to look. Then he watched helplessly as the ball hit the inside of the crossbar and then flew into the gate...
