Chapter 396: Unique, only saints!
"too frightening!"
Seeing Southampton's two top centers teamed up to direct such a goal, Platini was full of surprise.
"This is really terrible!"
Almost everyone around nodded involuntarily.
Who said no?
Other teams, even rich teams, can have a top center, it is already quite luxurious.
But Southampton is a good one, and directly included the two world's top centers in one go.
This is not the most important thing, the worst is that the two top centers are still playing at the same time!
My god, do you want other teams to live?
Let alone Atletico Madrid, even if the Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and other teams come, they still have to disarm!
Who can stand the impact of these two centers?
Yang Huan chuckled, somewhat smug.
Southampton seems to be his child. Which parent would not be proud of his children’s achievements?
When Ibrahimovic came to Southampton, he was at the bottom of his career.
And Drogba?
The situation is not much better.
But these two major centers have recovered their form here in Southampton, and they also bloomed with dazzling light.
Although there is still some distance from the peak of their career, their performance is amazing.
Especially tonight, the two of them were on the court at the same time, which is amazing!
Yang Huan looked into the distance of the stands. Both Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo's faces turned into bitter gourds. It felt as if they wished to fire all the players and coaches on the court.
Young Master Huan is so happy in his heart.
Two goals lead. Atletico Madrid can still hold your breath, don’t you rush out to play?
Don’t say, Simeone also went out and asked the players to stop guarding, and use high-intensity pressure and pressing to score goals, otherwise, Atletico Madrid will be over!
But the question is, will Southampton do what you want?
Before, you said that you must guard against death, so you went back. I have nothing but you.
But now, I have the advantage, you want to attack, have you asked me if I want to?
When the game restarted, Bielsa's team used actual actions to tell Atletico Madrid.
It's easy to go back, but it's hard to press it out again!
The Saints seem to have tasted the sweetness from the twin towers tactics. The more offensive is to take two wing roads and advance to the 30-meter area of Atletico Madrid, and then any one of the two major centers will pull out and stand still. wall.
What is interesting is that the two centers in Southampton not only have the physical fitness of a monster, but also have comprehensive technical characteristics.
Whether it's Drogba or Ibrahimovic, the ability to make walls is quite good.
At least, Godin and Miranda can't shake it!
One pulls to the periphery to make a wall, and the other is inserted in the penalty area waiting for an opportunity. Southampton’s twin tower tactics are so simple and so headstrong, you just can’t solve it!
Atletico Madrid is pressing hard this time. It wants to press it out, but it can't. It wants to retreat but can't hold it. It's difficult!
Simeone stood on the sidelines, there was really no way.
Atletico Madrid itself is not a strong team. It barely made up a competitive main lineup, but the bench hòu is very bad. Even if you want to change players, you can't find who can be replaced.
These one or two are not as good as the players on the field.
The main force can't hold it, you put on a group of substitutes, a group of young teenagers, isn't it even more difficult to hold it?
So, Simeone walked around the sidelines anxiously, almost burning with anger.
After Southampton took the lead with two goals, he became more patient psychologically and began to organize in an orderly manner.
Under the organization and planning of Tony Cross and Stromman, they bombarded Atletico Madrid again and again.
The Sheet Legion was finally forced to retreat to an area of 30 meters.
Anyone can see that Atletico Madrid relied on a breath of support and was scored. Sooner or later.
But this team is indeed hard-spirited, this breath abruptly withstood the Southampton offensive.
…………
…………
Jeremy Dulloch, chief executive officer of Sky TV UK, is sitting in the main stand of the National Stadium.
He stared blankly at what was happening down the court.
A team from England's second-tier league actually put the traditional heroic Atletico Madrid from La Liga in halftime. They bombed it and played in a mess.
Such an advantage, let alone the Premier League, even in the entire European football world, there are not many teams that can get it.
Without exception, those are the strongest and top giants right now!
such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, etc.
But this Southampton from the second division of England, like these top teams, did it!
This shocked Jeremy Dulloch, but also thought of more things.
This season is a downturn in Premier League football.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams have been eliminated from the Champions League, and the Premier League teams, without exception, have succumbed to the Europa League. As early as March, all Premier League teams announced their departure from the European battlefield.
This also makes Premier League fans feel dissatisfied!
But at this time, Southampton, which was originally not valued by the English second-tier league, independently supported the banner of English football, successfully avenged the strong teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City, and defeated Wallen. European giants such as West Asia, Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon.
More importantly, Southampton reached the Europa League final!
Sometimes, a champion can cover up many, many problems.
This summer is the London Olympics. Not only London fans, but also England fans, and even Premier League fans, all hope that there will be a European Championship trophy to celebrate the Olympics.
Since the Champions League can't be won, so is the Europa League!
In the past two months, Southampton has almost become the hope of England fans!
That is the only hope!
What is even more frightening is that this team did not live up to the expectations of the fans!
As the chief executive officer of Sky TV in the UK, Jeremy Dulloch can clearly see that Southampton has skyrocketed in popularity in the UK and among all the Premier League fans around the world in the past two months.
If it were tonight, Southampton would win a Europa League for Britain.
Then, the prestige and influence created will not lose to Manchester United, Chelsea and other heroes to win a Champions League!
It is foreseeable that next season, Southampton will participate in the Premier League as newly promoted, but they will become the most eye-catching newly promoted in history!
Has anyone ever seen a newly promoted horse with two domestic cup champions and one European Cup champion?
is unique, only saints!
And all this will allow the Saints to get unprecedented attention and attract the attention of countless fans.
To some extent, Sky TV can have no Liverpool, no Arsenal, and even weaken the live broadcasts of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, but it can’t live without Southampton!
This is also the most stalemate in the negotiations between Sky TV and the Premier League.
Both sides know the value of Southampton, but they disagree on how to distribute this piece of cake.
But seeing this game now, Jeremy Dulloc is very sure that it should resolve the differences.
In any case, the Southampton show, Sky TV is determined to win!
Just when Jeremy Dulloch made up his mind, there was a sudden uproar in the National Stadium.
The CEO of Sky TV suddenly raised his head and looked down, just in time to see the referee on duty rushing to the Atletico Madrid half, and raised a yellow card towards Gaby, indicating that this was a Southampton one. Free kick opportunity in the front court.
The commentary voice of the live commentator came from the broadcast just right.
"Tony Cross made a long diagonal pass. When Carvajal received the ball, Gabi made a push when defending. Southampton was about 30 meters away from the goal at one time, leaning to the right frontcourt. Placement opportunity!"
Jeremy Dulloch immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.
Tony Cross of the Southampton team is not a good set ball player?
Coupled with the presence of high centers like Drogba and Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt, Harvey Martinez and Varane are not weak in height and header ability.
Relatively speaking, the average height of Southampton is obviously higher than that of Atletico Madrid.
This is an advantage when setting the ball!
Sure enough, as soon as the referee gave a penalty, Tony Cross walked to the right side and came to the penalty spot.
wiped the ball lightly, placed the ball near the serving point, and slowly backed away.
Atletico Madrid players have begun to run over to organize the wall.
There are obviously more tall players in Southampton, and they are rushing into the penalty area of Atletico Madrid. The momentum is indeed quite shocking, and the players who call Atletico Madrid are hurriedly arranged.
Goalkeeper Asenjo first set up a human wall over there, and then jumped a few times to warm up.
Several threatening players in Southampton are lying in ambush in the penalty area. No one knows. Wait a minute, where Tony Cross’s free throw will fall and who will fight for the top.
The referee held the silver whistle in his mouth, and Tony Cross raised his right hand high and made a gesture.
What does mean?
The Atletico Madrid players are so confused that they don't understand.
Someone yelled in the penalty area, "Watch, one to one, all stare!"
is obviously to remind the Atletico Madrid players.
When the referee's whistle sounded, everyone was in a mess.
I saw Tony Cross rushing forward quickly, and with a bang, the ball flew out under force.
originally stared at each other, and some were even worried about missing someone, and they all grabbed each other's jerseys.
But this time, people came and went, running around, and it was a bit unclear who missed who.
Ibrahimovic and Varane both rushed to the front point for the first time.
Two tall players rushed forward, scaring Atletico Madrid's defensive players to catch up.
The ball's landing point is obviously not the previous point.
is not a late point!
Although Harvey? Martinez occupied the back point!
is the middle road!
"Drogba!" Asenho was the first to react~lightnovelpub.net~ shouted.
The ball landed at the front center of the small penalty area. Drogba came in from behind and reached out to stop Godin.
Although Godin was pulling Drogba's jersey, he couldn't stop Drogba.
The Ivorian rushed ahead of Godin, leaped high and greeted the ball, just like a lion shaking his head!
At this moment, everyone in the penalty area looked at Drogba, watching the ball hit his head, turned a direction, and landed on the left post of the goal.
The free kick was issued from the right side. Asenjo stood on the right. Drogba suddenly shook his head and attacked the ball to the left. Asenjo's whip was beyond reach!
Atletico Madrid has five or six defensive players in the penalty area, but at this time they can only watch Drogba's header, hit his goal line, and hit the net!
Everyone stared dumbfounded.
A sense of fatigue emerged from the bottom of my heart, and then swept across the body.
It's over!
Three to zero!
Atletico Madrid is over!
Completely finished!
