"There's nothing to mention. Since the boss brought you in, he must think you have something outstanding...has he given you a tailor-made training plan?" Prowse asked.
Casemiro nodded.
"That's fine. I also have a copy, which shows that the boss intends to reuse us." Prowse laughed.
"Not everyone has this kind of personal training plan, and I don't have one," Vardy said with some jealousy.
"Don't make trouble. Didn't the boss say that this kind of training plan is only useful for players under the age of 23? You are older and have passed the time to improve. Just consolidate your basic skills." Prowse said.
Casemiro wanted to ask anything else, but there was a commotion in the stands.
"Look, the game has started! Come on, Southampton, kill those Londoners!" Prowse shouted, waving his fists.
Casemiro looked at Prowse and Vardy who were also raising their fists, but he was thinking in his heart that these two players had obviously transferred to Leicester City, but they still thought of themselves as Southampton players mentally.
players, this is really a surprising thing.
After all, they are now Leicester City players. Although Southampton has a buy-back clause, will they really buy them back?
What is the magic of Southampton? In other words, what is it about Kiya that makes people identify so much?
A club like this seems really interesting.
When Casemiro fell into thinking, the game had already begun.
As soon as the two sides started, they started fighting in the midfield.
This can also be regarded as an instruction from the coaches of both sides.
Wenger wanted to see if his midfield could be organized smoothly, and Noriya also wanted to see if running could suppress Arsenal's attack.
Facts have proved that it can be suppressed.
After all, when Southampton started to compete through running, even Barcelona at that time was a little unable to withstand it, let alone Arsenal, who copied Barcelona.
The two full-backs are premised on resolutely pushing up, one against one, keeping an eye on the opponent's midfield, leaving no gaps for their passing attack.
As soon as Southampton did this, Arsenal's offense began to feel a little bit like a chicken and a dog.
That kind of all-round suffocation feeling is very uncomfortable for people.
So it took five minutes for Arsenal to complete its first shot. Cazorla's long shot was blocked by Chambers with his body. After Fonte took the ball, he quickly passed it to Klein on the right. Southampton
Dun started to fight back.
Arsenal's players ran back like a tide. Southampton's attack was very fast. Klein passed the ball directly to William in front. William dribbled the ball forward and then passed directly at a 45-degree angle. Bent
Ke accelerated his sprint, got rid of Koscielny's marker, and flew to tackle the falling ball!
Fortunately, Benteke didn't use any force to tackle the shot, and Szczesny suppressed the ball underneath him.
Ji Ya shook his head, while Wenger frowned, realizing that something seemed not quite right about Yazi.
Arsenal continued to attack, and Southampton's pressing was still fierce. However, they have been in really good form recently and still slowly created some opportunities. Podolski retreated to get the ball, and then passed it to Cazorla, Cazorla.
Passed straight to Chamberlain. Chamberlain forced a breakthrough and passed to the middle. Walcott, who broke in at high speed, planned to outflank him at the back point. Chambers made up the position in time and blocked Walcott's shot with his body!
After blocking the shot, Chambers quickly got up and passed the ball to Klein who was receiving the ball from the wing. Klein dribbled the ball forward and then quickly passed it to Schneiderlin. Schneiderlin moved forward in a wide range.
On the field, Benteke took off and ferried the ball down. Ronaldo received the ball and dribbled the ball forward. After shaking continuously, he suddenly took a long shot and the ball went above the crossbar.
"Strange, why did Southampton play so fast? Could it be that they had to play defensive counterattack instead?" Wenger thought in his mind.
The tactics arranged by Noriya were really defensive counterattacks.
The opponent's ball-control attack has a relatively slow pace, and actually relies on a large number of interspersed runs in the frontcourt to open up the defense. However, after Southampton pressed the ball, they immediately launched a fast break when they had the opportunity - these two fast breaks were due to the fact that they started from behind.
It seems that there is not much threat when starting from the backcourt. What if the midfielder or even the frontcourt intercepts the ball and quickly launches the attack?
The threat is much greater!
Although Wenger was aware of it, he had no intention of making any changes.
Wenger's relatively weak point is his on-field command. Secondly, Arsenal's recent tactics have been very effective and the players are in good condition. Changing tactics easily can lead to problems.
With such considerations, he certainly did not want to change his tactics.
As a result, the next game went on with Arsenal constantly attacking with the ball and Southampton constantly launching counterattacks.
Southampton's counterattack is very sharp, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, there is no certain rule. With Luke Shaw on the court, their attack on the left side begins to become sharp. No matter which side it is, take
There is quite a threat behind the ball.
Arsenal's offense was able to create some opportunities through constant interspersed running, but with Chambers running around to intercept, it failed to create a real threat.
This also made Wenger pay attention to Chambers - such a young and outstanding local defender, and he became Southampton's main force despite being called upon in critical situations. This kind of performance is worthy of careful observation.
The two sides were in a stalemate on the court until the 30th minute. Southampton finally scored the first goal through the frontcourt press!
Podolski was very active in this game. In fact, he was not originally a forward winger and had a wide range of activities, so he frequently dropped back to get the ball, and then created opportunities for Chamberlain and Walcott on the wings.
This style of play creates a lot of threats, but it also lays hidden dangers.
When he once again retreated to the midfield to get the ball, he was fiercely pressed by Matuidi.
Under such pressure, Podolski couldn't hold the ball. He hurriedly passed the ball back, but Drinkwater grabbed it and intercepted the ball midway!
After stealing the ball midway, Drinkwater began to move forward at high speed. His forward penetration was quite timely. Arsenal's defense was immediately confused. Wilshere wanted to come up and press, but he rushed over directly.
After attracting enough attention, Drinkwater passed the ball across.
Schneiderlin, who followed up, made a slight adjustment, and then resolutely took a shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area!
The ball roared to the ground and flew towards the far corner of the goal. Although Szczesny made a save, he was still a step too slow!
"What the hell!"
When the Southampton fans let out huge cheers, Wenger stood up angrily. He originally thought that Southampton's three forwards were the main players in the counterattack, but in the process, all was completed by the midfielder.
, the forwards are all running and pulling, leaving enough space for the midfielder!
"Arsenal's midfielder has enough skills and is not bad at running, but under such circumstances, their defensive ability is still much worse..." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.
