Chapter 127 I Will Definitely Be Back!
"Pat, what do you think of the twenty-sixth?"
Wenger sat in the home team's bench and asked his best assistant, Pat Rice.
Southampton's No. 26 is Alex Chamberlain.
In this game, the 17-year-old Chamberlain was very active on the right. He faced Arsenal's left-back Clichy several times, and he completely destroyed the French left-back. Open the way to victory for Southampton.
Relatively speaking, Clichy's game has completely become a tragic background for Chamberlain's flash.
Although from the perspective of the role on the field, Ibrahimovic's pass and shot should probably be the best of the game after the game, but Chamberlain's sharp breakthrough on the right has undoubtedly played a crucial role. important role.
The teenager left a deep impression on Wenger.
Pat Rice quickly called up Chamberlain's data and looked at it, "It's very good, it's hard to believe that he is really only seventeen years old, and his performance now is even similar to that of Walcott. It's not inferior to that."
Wenger nodded, Chamberlain's performance in this game was better than Walcott's.
"In this game, he had two shots, two hits, and five threatening passes. He was the Southampton player who made the most threatening passes in this game. Thirty-three of the forty passes were successful, eight Two crosses for teammates and four clearances."
As Pat Rice said this series of data from Alex Chamberlain, even Wenger, who had thought Chamberlain's performance was outstanding before, was a little moved.
"Too comprehensive!" Wenger praised.
"Yeah!" Pat Rice felt the same way.
The most rare thing about Chamberlain is his hard work, especially in the second goal.
Under the circumstance that the ball had been successfully intercepted by Clichy, Chamberlain immediately went into the counter-attack, he just broke the ball from Clichy's feet again, and then played Arsenal's counterattack in the frontcourt, causing Arsenal's defense. The omission eventually led to the loss of the ball.
For this attitude, many players in the Arsenal team are far inferior.
"His dribbling is very impactful, and his foot skills are quite good among English players. He is very skilled with his left and right feet. It's a pity that such a player is placed on the wing!"
Wenger has some talent,
He believes that the most scarce thing in today's football is the kind of left and right footed players.
There are many players who are proficient with one foot, such as Robben. His left foot is almost magical, but his right foot is semi-crippled. Such players are less difficult to defend. Just block him from cutting inside, there are rules to follow.
Of course, whether it can be kept or not is another matter.
But there are fewer and fewer players with superb feet, and players with both feet are obviously more difficult to deal with than single-footed players.
Clichy was played around by Chamberlain in this game. In the final analysis, he was not used to dealing with Chamberlain's feet.
If you block him from the bottom, he will go to the bottom, and if you block him from the bottom, he will go to the bottom.
When a defensive player encounters such an offensive opponent, it is simply impossible to guard against.
Pat Rice watched the game on the football field, Arsenal were a little embarrassed by Southampton, especially after entering the 70th minute, Bielsa made a big effort and replaced the Spanish midfielder Isco with the goal hero. Vidal, to further strengthen the creativity and ability of the midfielder.
Arsenal's midfield pressure has been reduced, but Southampton's attack has intensified.
Eighty-five minutes into the game, Arsenal basically have no chance of winning.
Although very reluctant, I have to admit that Southampton performed better in this game and broke a big upset.
The League One team's upset away victory over giants Arsenal will surely be the headlines of the entire British media tomorrow.
The FA Cup, the hotbed of unpopularity, will return.
"Although we have paid enough attention to it, we still underestimated this Southampton team!" Pat Rice sighed with some sigh. Although Arsenal did their best, many players were not in ideal condition.
For example, Clichy, Van Persie, who had been guarded by Benatia for the whole game and had no temper, even Cesc Fabregas and Wilshere, did not show the usual level in this game.
Wenger also sighed. After coaching Arsenal for more than ten years, he has long been bearish on the outcome.
But losing to a League One team left him very frustrated.
"In addition to stars such as Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Vidal and Neuer, Southampton's lineup is also quite good. Ya and Varane, the left and right full-backs David Alaba and Carvajal..."
Speaking of this, Wenger sighed complicatedly, "You are right, we underestimated our opponents."
Except for a few stars, other Southampton players are not famous, and some players are even looked down on by other teams, such as Benatia, who played in the Ligue 2 last season.
Although David Alaba and Carvajal came from proud gates, they didn't even have a spot.
Schneiderlin's sweeping and playing in the backcourt in this game is also very impressive, and he is a reliable midfielder.
Strowman is also impressive, with his passing and playmaking, showing considerable skill.
The most impressive is Oxlade-Chamberlain, this game even overshadowed the Brazilian genius Neymar.
In Wenger's eyes, the whole of Southampton from front to back is almost a treasure.
If nothing else, even Neuer is the most missing link in Arsenal.
Goalkeepers have been a problem for Arsenal in recent years.
Since Henry left the team, the central position is also the crux of the Gunners.
"What do you think of Benatia?" Wenger asked again.
Central defenders, this is an old problem for Arsenal. Since Sol Campbell left the team, Arsenal's central defenders have hardly been reassuring.
"It's pretty good, and he's now the backbone of Southampton's defence, but he lacks top-level experience, so..."
Pat Rice is still holding a cautious attitude, because a central defender, experience is often an important part of strength.
Wenger first nodded, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Southampton is not short of money now, and even if Arsenal are interested in other players, it will not be easy to dig them.
But the Saints are just a League One team right now.
Which professional player doesn't want to climb to the top leagues, especially the Premier League?
"Notify Steve and let him arrange for someone to inspect Chamberlain and Benatia."
Pat Rice looked at Wenger and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

…………
With a crisp whistle from referee Philip Dodd.
In the youth team recreation room at the Stapletwood training base, a thunderous cheer erupted immediately.
The group of young players in the entertainment room were all excited and dancing, celebrating over there.
"Let's congratulate Southampton!"
The TV commentator's post-match summary came on the TV.
"With Ibrahimovic's one pass and one shot, Vidal's goal, Southampton finally defeated the Gunners Arsenal 2-0 away, the leading team from League One, This game is very impressive!"
"Biesa!" The live TV gave Bielsa a close-up, but the Argentine madman seemed very calm.
"Southampton has undergone a revolutionary change this season. Although the previous Saints also attached great importance to technology, under Bielsa's adjustment, Southampton's football has undergone tremendous changes and played a hearty offensive. storm."
"This is a young, tenacious team full of energy and fighting spirit, full of victories, and not afraid of any strong enemy!"
"Saint Southampton, I believe that after this upset, this League One star team will attract more and more fans' attention."
"To reach the top 32 of the FA Cup, we have reason to believe that Southampton can go further!"
The TV commentator's remarks once again triggered cheers from all the players in the entertainment room.
They share weal and woe with Southampton. Southampton can beat Arsenal in an upset away, and they are also honored.
Griffa also stood up with a smile and looked at the TV screen. Southampton players in red and white jerseys celebrated wildly at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, without caring about the feelings of the home team players and fans. He shook his head and smiled helplessly.
This is Southampton.
Unbridled, sharp-edged and fearless Southampton!
"It's not easy, the whole game was so embarrassing for Arsenal." Ramon Madoni also sighed.
If it's just winning, it's really nothing to write home about.
The point is, Southampton put Arsenal down in a very embarrassing way. Who could have imagined that Arsenal only had two shots on goal in the whole game, not even one shot on target?
If you only look at the process of the game and do not look at the names of the teams on both sides, everyone will doubt that Southampton is the Premier League team.
Griffa couldn't help nodding, "It's been half a year, and Bielsa's tactics have taken shape."
"Yeah, it's harvest season!" Ramon Madoni also nodded in relief.
After the slump and doubts at the beginning of the season, Southampton gradually won the recognition and affirmation of the fans with their outstanding performance and winning streak. Now, they have defeated Arsenal and will further win more and more appreciation.
Watching the gleeful celebration of this group of Southampton academy players in the recreation room, Griffa was convinced that such a victory would help increase their loyalty and affection for the team.
As long as Southampton continues to follow this path, and with time, it will be promoted to the Premier League, and it will surely become a football force that cannot be underestimated in English football.
With Yang Huan's courage, Southampton may even have the opportunity to break the existing pattern of English football.
…………
…………
There was cheers at the Stapletwood training facility.
In the stands at the Emirates Stadium, John Hunter and his entourage are looking desperate.
He lost again, and once again lost his entire fortune.
He had an urge to cry.
If it is said that Charlton lost to Southampton, he can still accept it. After all, they are all League One teams, and Southampton has made great signings this season. If they lose, they will lose.
But now even the Premier League giants Arsenal have lost to Southampton, what is going on?
In the end, I was so unlucky, what to buy and what to lose?
Or, is the Southampton team too demonic?
This guy Yang Huan is too defiant?
He didn't know, he just knew that he lost again.
In the next six months, he may have to live a hard life of crowding buses and subways, shrinking clothes and dieting.
He has no face to go out and hang out with the rich second generation.
A rich second-generation who has no money and no car, going out will only be shameful.
"Master John, let's go!"
The followers were all crying and grimacing, just like a dead father.
They all bet before to show their loyalty, and now they all lose.
John Hunter didn't intend to stay in this sad place, and looked at the elated stand opposite the Southampton fans. Although he didn't see Yang Huan, he had no doubt that Yang Huan must be in it. .
"You wait! I will definitely be back!"
After speaking, he greeted his followers and left.
In the stands opposite him, after celebrating with Southampton fans such as Charlene Laheri, Maki Horikita and Saint Harry, Yang Huan suddenly remembered that he still had a very important thing to do. ()
