Chapter 218 Dembele with high emotional intelligence
"Walker forced a breakthrough from the wing! He was so fast that Blind was thrown away by him and then passed in! The ball crossed the center... Oh, Bell rushed up from the back row, overwhelmed Klein, and attacked with his head
Door!"
Klein really wanted to resist, but Bell looked thin and had very good physical condition. He was 1.85 meters tall and his weight was not bad. Klein was only 1.75 meters tall. The ten centimeters difference in height made it difficult for him to resist.
He was completely suppressed by Bell, and his interference did not affect Bell's header.
The ball quickly changed direction and plunged into the near corner of the goal!
Navas just turned around and saw the ball flying into the goal helplessly...
Ji Ya shook his head. This is Bell's strength. Although he is a winger, he is also a great threat in the penalty area. His movement is erratic and his speed is very fast. To deal with him, we can only defend in the zone, but zone defense means
He can look for defenders he can bully to deal with.
Just like dealing with Klein now.
If he were facing Chambers or Wundt, Bell's grab might not go so smoothly.
Facing the swarming teammates, Bell refused to celebrate, but lowered his head and ran back to his own half. In response to his move, the Southampton fans also stopped booing, and the field suddenly became quiet.
Got up.
"It doesn't matter, don't forget what I said before! Attack! Attack is the most important thing!"
Ji Ya shouted to the audience.
Only fifteen minutes have passed since the game, and there is still plenty of time.
Southampton's players nodded one after another. Tottenham is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with. When Southampton faced them last season, it was a draw, but this season they have to take advantage. Otherwise, why should they go there?
Competing for the league title?
Tottenham's advantage lies in physical fitness. Like Arsenal, they only play in the Europa League, so their physical fitness is still very abundant. In addition, several frontcourt players are very fast, so the rhythm of the game is very fast.
quick.
Use a fast pace to wear down Southampton's offensive rhythm, and then continue to score goals - this is Villas-Boas's tactics.
The failure at Chelsea was not without gain. At least Villas-Boas began to understand what he should pay more attention to in the Premier League. For young coaches, failure is sometimes a valuable experience.
He has an advantage in this game, a physical advantage. If he can defeat Southampton, in addition to avenging himself, his position will also be more stable.
Ji Ya certainly didn't want to be led by the nose like this.
Southampton really likes open games, but if the opponent likes it more, then they shouldn't follow the opponent's rhythm.
"Tell Henrik, Arturo and Blaydes that we need to strengthen the ball control in the midfield, pass more passes, organize more, and dispatch them to run. Tottenham's midfielder has strong running ability, so be careful."
Noriya said to Benali, who nodded and immediately took advantage of a dead ball to quickly convey his intention to the players on the field.
Soon, Southampton's offensive method changed. They began to pass more in the midfield. Vidal and Matuidi both have very good passing awareness, and Mkhitaryan has the ability to break through with the ball.
It was quite impressive. As a result, Southampton's game began to slow down.
The sudden slowdown in the pace of the game left Tottenham's players a little overwhelmed. They had changed their head coach this season, switching from the pure British style of play of Old Redknapp to Villas-Boas's addition of some technical content.
Of course there is nothing wrong with this approach, but at this stage, it is not proficient enough.
If the opponent doesn't adapt, Southampton can seize the opportunity very well.
After continuous passing in the midfield, Mkhitaryan took the ball. He first made a fake move to pass the ball from the left, but suddenly pulled the ball back, and then raised his foot and passed the ball to the wing!
This was a beautiful overhead kick. William accelerated to receive the ball on the right, and then began to break through diagonally into the penalty area.
Tottenham's defenders reacted very quickly this time. They all returned to defend. Willian saw that he had no chance to break through, so he decisively made a pass. Gala flew to block it, and the ball hit him and bounced into the penalty area.
The front edge fell right at the feet of Mkhitaryan who was advancing forward.
Mkhitaryan did not think, he faced the flying ball while running and volleyed directly in the air!
The landing point of the ball coincided with the trajectory of his running. Mkhitaryan's shot was quite comfortable.
The ball quickly flew into the lower left corner of the goal like an arrow, and Friedel couldn't even make a save...
Southampton fans cheered loudly again!
After Bell equalized the score, Southampton took the lead again in just ten minutes!
Of course, Southampton fans did not use this goal to mock Bell. After all, Bell did not celebrate after scoring just now. Of course, Southampton fans would not make any additional moves at this time.
They were just celebrating the goal normally.
Villas-Boas was very annoyed and threw a mineral water bottle. He had discovered the problem and was ready to ask the team to press harder. In the end, Southampton still scored one through a sneak attack.
This ball also has a lot of luck involved.
Boas became even more angry.
"If they control the ball again, we will strengthen the pressing in the midfield. Do you understand? Their passing will not be very effective!" Villas-Boas said after calling Dembele.
"What if they hit from behind?" Dembele asked after thinking for a while.
Villas-Boas was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the player to ask him a question back. Dembele's question was actually quite natural, because when he was at Southampton, if there was something he didn't understand, he could just tell him directly, and Ji Ya would definitely explain it.
of.
"Our defense is not slow, so don't worry about it." Villas-Boas could only answer in a general way.
Dembélé nodded. He had a high emotional intelligence and did not continue to ask. The coach was stunned by the rhetorical question just now. If he asked again, what should he do if the coach couldn't answer?
The game restarted and Tottenham launched a quick attack. Bell forced a breakthrough from the wing and passed in. Defoe failed to get the ball due to interference from Chambers. Wundt filled in and easily controlled the ball.
"Callum's performance is getting better and better. I think even if Nicholas comes back, he will have to face the situation of being a substitute." Benali laughed.
"Yes, Callum's performance is indeed good. He moves with his feet and confronts head-on... all very well." Ji Ya nodded. Ji Ya had always been very optimistic about these three young players, but he also always felt that he could not encourage others.
, so be very cautious about their use.
It's like Luke Shaw's performance before was already very good, but he still used Blind as the main force.
Now it seems that Chambers' performance is really a surprise.
