"Is this four three three?" the players asked questions one after another.
"Of course, 433, but it doesn't change much from our 442 tactics. Chamberlain is just more active on the wing." Ji Ya said with a smile.
Chamberlain nodded confidently: "Boss, don't worry, I can definitely kill them on the wing!"
Ji Ya smiled and nodded. Chamberlain's ability to constantly take the ball and create opportunities on the wing is very rare in Southampton. Mkhitaryan is also very good at breaking through and creating opportunities, but he is a standard ten.
If the number position is fixed on the wing, his talent will be wasted.
Lallana is good at distributing the ball and shooting from long range at the first time, and has little ability to penetrate forward and break through. However, with Drinkwater who is good at forward penetration behind him, he is more suitable to partner in the midfield. If Mkhitaryan plays,
He needs a partner who can distribute the ball from behind and hand it over to him in time, and Schneiderlin is more suitable.
Now Noriya begins to feel that there are no bad players. The key is how to bring out his characteristics while hiding his flaws. If you can do this, you can often turn waste into treasure.
Of course, this may just be his illusion...
Generally speaking, rotation is difficult to achieve good results because the player's state is not static, but will continue to rise and fall. A combination that feels good during training may not be the same when used in a game.
But Ji Ya is not quite sure about this yet, and his change of formation this time... has a very good effect.
After the first round of the game, Rapid Vienna had basically become accustomed to Southampton's offensive method. As a result, Southampton completely changed their appearance at their home court and started to attack more. This change in the rhythm of the game
, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
So as soon as Vienna came up, they were stunned by Southampton.
Lallana distributed the ball, Chamberlain received the ball and cut inside, and then handed the ball to Klein who was advancing from the wing. Klein forced a breakthrough to the bottom line, and then passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, where Drinkwater advanced.
Take the first shot without stopping the ball!
It would have been difficult for him to hit this kind of shot cleanly at his level. However, he did hit a very high level with this kick. The ball roared into the penalty area and accurately went into the top corner of the goal!
After taking a one-goal lead, Southampton continued their offense. After changing the formation to 4, 3, 3, their offense became quite simple without even realizing it. This was something that even the Southampton players themselves did not expect.
.
"Chamberlain's position is further forward, so he is more threatening. Lallana will have more space to get the ball. His ability to play the ball immediately makes it difficult for opponents to mark him. At the same time, Giroud and Lambert have more range of activities.
It has also been expanded, and Drinkwater's forward thrust will be more threatening... I have to say that this wave of adjustments made by Ji Ya is quite wonderful. I don't think he thought of it on the spur of the moment, he must have started preparing for it early.
Already."
"It's rare for a young coach like Noriya to take the initiative to make changes before he sees the decline in his tactics. This is also the key to why I think coaches should become younger. Although experience is important, but youth
People are quick-thinking and easy to accept new things, which is also their advantage... Oh, Southampton has started another wave of attacks!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Lallana once again distributed the ball to the right. Southampton began to cooperate with the attack on the right. Of course, the opponent is not a fool. If you focus on the right, of course they must also help defend the right.
.
However, Chamberlain did not split the sides this time, but handed it to Drinkwater who advanced forward. Drinkwater raised his foot to prepare for a long shot, and then raised the ball and passed it out...
Lallana, who followed up, once again scored the ball directly without stopping!
The ball flew to the other side of the penalty area. Lambert, who was running away from the opponent's defender, caught the ball, then made a sideways move, dunked past the defender who was rushing to cover, and decisively kicked the ball!
The ball roared into the gate of Rapid Vienna again. Southampton took a two-goal lead at home, which was also the lead in the total score!
"Is Southampton going to enter the Europa League for the first time in history?" the commentators shouted.
But it is obvious that the European war is different. After falling behind by two goals, Rapid Vienna did not become emotionally depressed because of this, but launched a crazy counterattack!
Before the end of the first half, they took advantage of a loophole in Southampton's defense to recover a point - Southampton has been conceding more goals recently, mainly because the partners around Dembélé have changed a bit frequently.
As a newcomer, his cooperation with Wundt and Lovren was not very good.
Think about it, Lovren has only been here for a year, Wundt has only been here for half a year, and Dembélé has just arrived. It would be crazy to be able to cooperate like this.
"Davis's performance in these two games was quite satisfactory, but he conceded goals in both games. We can no longer see those wonderful saves... But that's normal. His age is here after all." Goalkeeper coach Denis Rove thought.
After thinking about it, he whispered to Ji Ya.
Ji Ya nodded.
Davis has played more games recently, but he did concede a lot of goals. Although he didn't make low-level mistakes, he couldn't make a wonderful save that changed the direction of the game.
Does Navas have this potential?
"He has been training very hard during this period. Although he is a bit taller, his jumping ability and timely attack ability can make up for this." Luo Fu covered his mouth and said.
He knew what Ji Ya was thinking. He used Davis in these two consecutive games because he was in good form before and he couldn't be replaced casually as a meritorious goalkeeper. However, it is the general trend for Navas to take over. He is younger.
It's also better and more helpful to Southampton's future.
This is the time for him to become a villain.
Rapid Vienna's goal in the first half made Southampton a little nervous. However, it turned out that they did not need to be nervous. After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to firmly control the situation on the field. On the contrary, Vienna
Quickly I couldn't hold on any longer.
The pace of the game in the first half was very fast, and their physical fitness also declined quickly.
Chamberlain used a beautiful personal breakthrough to lock the score at 3 to 1 and 4 to 2. Southampton won both rounds of the confrontation and entered the official stage of the Europa League for the first time in history!
"Being able to advance to the group stage is a great encouragement for us... Now I just hope that UEFA will give us a slightly better group for the sake of us being newcomers." Noriya's news after the game.
