Luke Shaw and Lukaku began to attack continuously on both sides, Nolito used his own skills to create murderous opportunities, and Vardy kept running, silently looking for opportunities on the court.
"His running position and what he is doing now is what I hope you can do on the court. Your technique and agility are better than his, so you should do better."
Noriya turned to Suarez behind him and said, although Suarez is still suspended and cannot appear on the field, it is well known that the coaching benches of Premier League teams are next to the stands, so Noriya specially arranged a place behind the coaching bench for Suarez.
position, it would be better to give him more guidance.
Suarez nodded, of course he knew this. Now he doesn't need to retreat too much to get the ball. He has Mkhitaryan and De Bruyne to get the ball and organize, James Ronaldo to attract firepower, and Lukaku on the wing.
As long as you perform to your own level, that's fine.
This in itself is very attractive.
West Ham United's signings this summer have been quite fruitful. They mainly targeted Liverpool. Both Carroll and Downing were transferred to West Ham United. Neither of them played very well in Liverpool. However, their own
The strength is still there.
Facing Southampton, they adopted a defensive tactic and then waited for opportunities to counterattack. Sunderland and Norwich have proven that this tactic has a very good effect when dealing with Southampton, because Suarez is not here.
Therefore, their scoring ability in the penalty area is much worse, as long as they can defend their counterattacks.
This defensive strategy is indeed effective, but one requirement is that Southampton has no luck at all in long-range shots.
This was actually the case in the first two games. Their long-range shots were of good quality, but they failed to score.
But this game is different.
Ten minutes after the game started, Ronaldo took the ball outside the penalty area and turned around. Seeing that no one was coming to defend him, he suddenly took a long shot with his left foot!
The quality of this long-range shot was quite high. The ball flew high into the penalty area, and then began to fall rapidly. There was an extremely obvious falling arc in the air. It flew past the hands of the West Ham United goalkeeper and then plunged into the goal.
Dead spot!
When more than 30,000 fans at St. Mary's Stadium began to chant, Ronaldo opened his arms and enjoyed the enthusiasm of the fans.
"He is indeed Southampton's number one star now! James opened the scoring for Southampton with his long shot!"
As the commentator shouted, Ji Ya waved his fist. Ronaldo is indeed Southampton's top player now. Although his strength may not be as good as Lukaku and De Bruyne, those two people are new here after all.
, and his image is not as sunny and handsome as Ronaldo, so in terms of business activities, Ronaldo has also brought a lot of benefits to Southampton.
Although Noriya knows that Ronaldo may not stay in Southampton after the World Cup, it is still a win-win situation to support him now.
What are you most afraid of in the iron barrel formation?
Of course it won’t last long!
But now, after taking the lead, the next game will be easy to play.
Forced to focus more on offense, West Ham United began to feel the power of Southampton's counterattack.
In the 23rd minute, Casemiro sent a long pass from the backcourt. Lukaku, who came in at high speed, had the absolute upper hand in the physical confrontation while running. The opponent's defender lost his balance after bumping into each other.
But he received the ball and rushed to the edge of the penalty area. Instead of forcing himself to take the ball, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the center.
Vardy, who followed up, only needed to face the rolling ball, push the ball with the arch of his foot, and the ball hit the net for the second time!
If he can't score such a goal again, Vardy will no longer deserve to stay at Southampton.
After scoring, Vardy ran towards Lukaku with a smile on his face and hugged him.
Before the end of the first half, there was another almost identical counterattack. Lukaku broke through from the wing and passed the ball to the top of the penalty area. Drinkwater, who followed up desperately, met the ball and shot directly, scoring Southampton.
The third goal of the first half.
"The overall situation has been decided! Southampton's counterattack is so sharp... As long as there is space for him to run, Lukaku's performance is too active! Speed, power, impact! And his consciousness! We used to
Why didn’t I realize that Lukaku is so good..."
The commentator began to lament that although Lukaku performed well at West Bromwich Albion last season, he was not so strong.
I can't stop it!
Ji Ya smiled and said nothing. Lukaku was indeed very useful when counterattacking, but positional warfare was a little worse. Of course, this was not a problem. It was not his responsibility to open up the situation in positional warfare.
It is the responsibility of the center, the responsibility of the organizational core, and the responsibility of the offensive core.
And he was just the core of the counterattack.
Leading by three goals in the first half, Southampton slowed down its offensive pace in the second half. Noriya replaced Luke Shaw and Casemiro with Alonso and Matic, and then Nolito.
Replaced Ronaldo, so almost all the people on the court were substitutes...
But even so, West Ham United still did not take any advantage in the serious attack. In the 81st minute, Vardy played the ball in the penalty area, and the unguarded Nolito took advantage of the situation and pushed the ball far away.
Corner, scored the fourth goal of the game.
Four to zero! After two consecutive games without a win, Southampton achieved a brilliant victory!
"I'm glad to see that we won the game, but this is a normal thing in my opinion. We are very strong. James? He is our core. There is no doubt about it. These two
His performance this season has proven that he is a top player, a world-class player. Lukaku's performance is also very good. This is his potential. I just let his potential come out. Vardy?
I'm very happy to see him score again. He proved that there are no bottom substitutes in my team and every player is useful."
Noriya seemed very calm and calm at the post-match press conference, but his pretentious look also made people angry. The reporters began to recall that this kid was obviously very good when he first joined the Premier League as a coach.
You are so kind, why are you becoming more and more irritating now?
It's just that reporters have forgotten that the coaches they want to see are coaches who act according to their own ideas. How they write to attract attention should be what the coach should look like... But how is this possible...
"Last season we failed in the Champions League. This season, it will definitely not happen. Because we are stronger than last season, and the running-in during this period is enough to make us even better."
Noriya said the last words at the press conference, and then ended the press conference. Next, he will lead the team to fly to France, to the country that gave birth to the European Champions Cup.
