512. St Mary's Stadium 4
Casemiro received a yellow card for his invasion of Tadic. To be honest, this yellow card was not unfair at all and had little action. However, it was indeed an obvious tactical foul, but the consequences were a little serious. Tadic ended up with an injury.
I don’t know which nerve Casemiro had touched Casemiro when the referee gave this yellow card. At the end of the midfield, he still insisted on refusing to argue with the referee.
Wensheng happened to be behind, and he pulled him away and said "Say a few less!"
Casemiro strongly argued, "I didn't make a foul! We were in normal physical contact, and he fell down when he touched me!"
"Get out! Don't talk nonsense!" Wensheng pushed and shoved him and asked him to walk to the locker room.
"Don't irritate them! They won't be polite to you! If you deal with the second half with this mentality, I have to replace them! I don't want you to go to the court with this mentality!" Wen Sheng said more and more severely. Casemiro was afraid and dared not talk more. He walked back to the locker room in a depressed mood.
Wen Sheng felt inexplicably, what touched him.
Wen Sheng never expected that Casemiro might have encountered a ghost today. In just five minutes of the second half, Longe intercepted Fernandinho in the frontcourt, and Casemiro fiercely tackled Longe with the ball. Now the Southampton players quit and surrounded him and asked the referee to punish Casemiro.
In this way, Casemiro received the second yellow card and was sent out. Manchester City had to fight with ten people with only about 40 minutes left.
"I'm going to crush your head! I'm going to fuck..." Wen Sheng cursed on the sidelines. This guy is simply brainless!
"What should I do now?" Brian ran over and asked Wensheng.
"How the hell do I know what to do?! Damn, what a fool! I should have let him end!" Wen Sheng vented all the karma of ignorance on Brian.
Casemiro got the red card, and suddenly felt as if he wanted to calm down. He felt so guilty that he didn't dare to watch Wensheng when he was about to come. He quickly ran back to the locker room.
"Do you want to change someone?" A few seconds later, Brian asked Wensheng again, and Wensheng's mind was quickly calmed down at this time.
What exactly will Southampton do?! This is his first reaction!
If Manchester City uses Lampard in the midfield and removes a winger, if it is really important to say that control can suppress Southampton. Southampton is not good at high-level oppressive defense, which is a loophole.
But if this is the case, you have to worry about your own defense and invest troops in offense. Wensheng feels that his team may not have a chance of winning. If there is a flaw in one place, it will be Southampton who will benefit. After all, Mane is also very fast, and Southampton is using a high-speed combination.
Thinking of this, Wen Sheng had a plan to see if Southampton would be fooled. Manchester City simply pretended to be scared and attracted Southampton to attack.
"No need to replace people! Just like this, let the formation retreat a little, and David can also try to try the midfield!" Wen Sheng waved his hand and expressed his opinion.
"David's physical ability to compete is not good, and it's a loss to be put in the midfield!" Brian felt that Silva's position behind the midfield was inappropriate.
He is not De Bruyne. De Bruyne has a body and will not suffer any losses in confrontation.
Silva plays a midfielder who tends to attack. He always takes the initiative to use his flexible dribbling to get rid of his opponent's defense, but if he is a defensive side, he suffers a lot. This is a fact, so no coach will ever put Silva in the back-distance midfield position!
"I didn't let him be the midfielder, what's the problem?! Let James recruit him and help David protect the middle! Let Kyle defend alone on the side!" Wen Sheng made this arrangement, and Brian knew.
When Manchester City was sent off alone, the Coman Brothers' thoughts immediately became lively. This was a great opportunity. Originally, everyone was considering whether they could get one point, but now the opportunity has come, and one point can completely turn into three points.
When the team is in good shape, the Coman Brothers will inevitably have some confidence in themselves.
Erwin Koeman's mood was like a roller coaster. Before the game, he felt that the team was in good shape and might not be able to win Manchester City. When the game started, Manchester City was still better at playing, and he felt that Jiang was still old and that Southampton was good to score a point. Now that Manchester City has been sent off, his confidence has risen again.
Next, Southampton got into the trap. Manchester City did not use the backcourt pass control under Wensheng's order. After getting the ball, they started to play in the frontcourt, looking like "I just want to keep the ball away from my goal."
This way of playing is equivalent to giving up the ball. Koeman's team was cautious at the beginning, mainly relying on Pelle through the cross. Later, he found that this move was not effective at all. Albiol and Kompani stared Pelle very hard, and Pelle was not efficient or quality in the shooting.
Koeman adjusted his tactics in time and began to control it. Once the control is in place, the front pressure of the formation is inevitable.
Southampton's tragedy began to happen. In the 68th minute, Southampton's front-court position battle was intercepted by Fernandinho. When he passed the ball to Silva, Silva kept passing the ball directly behind Southampton. Suarez understood it and successfully defeated the ghostly counter-offside. It was not difficult for him to shoot a single ball. Foster was easily shaken away by him and pushed the empty goal.
Many people think that Suarez and the team lack tacit understanding, which is not right. It does lack tacit understanding in actual combat, but Suarez and the team have been practicing together for half a year, so how could they have no tacit understanding at all? Moreover, this guy has a very sensitive sense of smell.
Suarez's goal made the fans of St. Mary's Stadium silent. They were still louder and louder just now, inspiring the Saints to move forward.
Leticel, Catalina and the Saints on the sidelines were a little confused.
Koeman continued to exert pressure, instructing midfielders to intervene more into Manchester City's penalty area to increase the threat in the penalty area.
He was a little anxious!
Four minutes later, Manchester City counterattacked again. This time the show was Chamberlain, who almost disappeared. This kid spent most of the time defending in the middle circle after the second half, but Wensheng also had arrangements to let him rush as soon as he got the opportunity!
Southampton was very unfortunate. Chamberlain really got this time. He dribbled from the backcourt and killed straight from the wing, with a similar style to the Great St. Bell of that year.
Chamberlain gave Suarez a key assist. Suarez scored twice in just five minutes. Wen Sheng finally smiled happily on the sidelines. Koeman might have been fooled or not, but this is not important. What is important is Southampton's powerlessness in dealing with counterattacks, especially the midfielder made two mistakes in protecting the ball rights, which is really a bit of a pitfall.
Chapter completed!
