Ashley Young's performance so far in this game is absolutely dazzling. This English native flying wing pulled Northampton into the abyss with one pass and one shot. From Northampton's head coach Stu The expression on Art's face showed how much he hated Ashley Young. He gritted his teeth and looked at Ashley Young hugging Dzeko on the field, and secretly cursed Ashley Young in his heart. It's best if you get an injury, and it's a serious one, like a broken foot
The 2-0 score made the Northampton fans who came with the team collectively lost their voices, and Sheffield Wednesday still took the lead in the most annoying way for Northamptonians.
"What a bad day, a bad game," a Northampton fan complained loudly while standing in the stands. His words resonated with many people around him. Many people were noisy and timid in the stands. Sheffield Wednesday only dared to defend from behind. They were lucky to be ahead of us today. Of course, there is also the credit of that damn referee.¡±
?Obviously, these people put the responsibility for the second goal on the referee.
Objectively speaking, Dak, the referee who was officiating the game today, did not do anything wrong in his officiating. Even the series of steals before Northampton conceded the second goal can be judged or not. It's just that Dak's law enforcement standards were a little wider today. He thought that kind of collision was not a foul, so he didn't call it a foul.
But Northampton fans didn¡¯t care about that. They only lost the ball because of the referee¡¯s penalty, so various greetings spread from the stands where Northampton fans gathered.
Some even excitedly threw some debris in the direction of Dak. Fortunately, Dak was located far enough away from the Northampton fan base, so he would not become the target of attacks by the fans.
There are also some older fans who are watching the situation on the court with frowns. Everything seemed normal for the team they supported. They completely suppressed Sheffield Wednesday in the area at the front of their own penalty area and couldn't get out at all - if it was the beginning of the game, they must have thought so, and then cheered loudly Watch and look forward to the moment the team scores a goal.
But now they no longer think so. Sheffield Wednesday's defensive formation has been maintained very well, giving Northampton no chance to penetrate this defense line. The only thing they can do is to keep firing in the outer area. The result is that the ball is sent to the crowded stands again and again.
As the anxious Bildt got rid of Kolarov in front of the penalty area, he took advantage of the opponent's defender and shot over the crossbar before the opponent's defender came up. The referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.
Sheffield Wednesday's players walked off the pitch laughing with each other, while Northampton's players had serious faces, as sad as their head coach Stuart.
"Breaking through intensive defense is a problem for coaches all over the world. Even when Sheffield Wednesday's lineup is uneven, as long as they adopt a posture of intensive defense, Northampton will still feel a headache when facing such a defense."
"When the defensive side has a strength that is similar to theirs and has a complete defensive system, Northampton can only rely on luck in order to break this line of defense in addition to relying on the individual performance of the players. But they still need to beware of the opponent's counterattack. In this game, Sheffield Wednesday used the defensive counterattack tactics that the Italians are best at to the extreme. From this point of view, Sheffield Wednesday's head coach John at least has a deep understanding of Italian football. Research."
During the halftime break, the commentator kept commenting and summarizing the first half of the game, focusing on the lineup and tactics used by Ouyang Ao in this game.
A guest at the commentary site also started to comment. He arranged the players Ouyang Ao sent in this game through the electronic screen, and then analyzed them one by one.
"In this game, Sheffield Wednesday made a big change in the midfield position. Marek's absence gave Krieger a chance. In fact, I think it was Krieger's appearance that changed Sheffield Wednesday's passive situation. , this 32-year-old veteran built the first barrier for Sheffield Wednesday in the midfield, thus ensuring that the team did not fall behind in the midfield fight. In addition, judging from the lineup announced before the game, Sheffield Wednesday It seems to be a 4-4-2 parallel lineup. Ashley Young and Richard already have quite good offensive abilities, and they also have the ability to play on the wing, so although this formation looks surprising , but not surprising.¡±
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This???????????? This man with glasses, who looks like a wretched man with dissatisfied desires, suddenly changed the subject, but in fact, this is not the case"
Then, all TV viewers will see the screenThe Sheffield Wednesday lineup shown above has changed, with Krieger's head moving downwards closer to the back line, while Ashley Young and Richard on both sides have moved into the center.
"Actually, the lineup Ouyang Ao arranged can also be said to be 44-1. Among them, Krieger was behind. In addition to cleaning up the back line, he was also responsible for controlling the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire team, that is, It is said that when Sheffield Wednesday switches from defense to attack, Krieger has to play the role of an engine. However, this was not obvious in the first half."
"The other three were slightly forward. They pushed out, and when Northampton's midfielder came within 35 meters, they immediately forced Northampton's midfielder to move the ball according to their position. , not giving them a chance to organize calmly. This can be seen from Yaya's active performance in the first half. He restricted Bildt who was opposite him, and even forced Bilt to leave at one point. Without his defensive area, even Kevin who later changed positions also did not benefit. Therefore, it can be said that Sheffield Wednesday completely destroyed Northampton's midfield in this game. The failure of Northampton's midfield to create really good attacking opportunities for the team was the main reason why they fell behind in the first half."
"So what about Northampton's offensive line? They had plenty of firepower last season. The team also showed quite strong firepower at the beginning of the season. The strike pairing of Alec and Melky still has a lot of firepower. "No strength" The commentator also raised questions in a timely manner at this time, making the conversation more interactive and appropriately attracting the audience's attention.
"I just said that Krieger, who is at the end, still has the finishing work. His finishing work is mainly to help the defense line attack the dangerous people on their front line."
"Like Alec" the Northampton striker's head appeared on Sheffield Wednesday's right rib on the electronic screen at the right time. "When the Brazilian dribbles the ball, the first thing he has to face is the defense of Sheffield Wednesday's right back, his compatriot Maicon. And when he chooses to go centrallyNorthampton's tactics encourage Brazil People move more towards the center. He will be surrounded by Gabi, Martin and the retreating Krieger. This is another important role of Krieger in this game. His defense and coverage. Wide-area running is an important guarantee for limiting Northampton¡¯s attacking line.¡±
On the screen, Alec's head was sandwiched between Cahill, Skrtel, and Krieger, and the director also playfully added a question mark over Alec's head, making it look like the Brazilian was thinking. The ball at your feet should be dealt with.
"Faced with being surrounded by three defensive heroes, Alec's space to pass or break through was restricted. The only thing he could do was to protect the ball and then send the ball to the back, which was the only place that was not blocked. Passing lanes blocked.¡±
"Similarly, Northampton's two wings are also facing the same situation, and when their wings are trapped, Melky at the top can only frequently fight against Sheffield Wednesday's two central defenders. Engage in hand-to-hand combat, which is not what he is good at"
If Stuart could see the broadcast at this time, maybe he would very much agree with this guest's comments on Sheffield Wednesday's tactics in the first half, and he would feel even more when he was standing on the sidelines directing the team to actually face this defensive tactic. Much more profound.
It can be said that the formation and tactics arranged by Ouyang Ao in this game were completely tailor-made to restrain Northampton. Although Krieger's appearance sacrificed Sheffield Wednesday's midfield creativity, he Excellent running ability and defensive role are exactly what Sheffield Wednesday needed in this game. Their midfielder completely suppressed Northampton's midfielder, cutting off the connection between the midfielder and the forward players, making Northampton Northampton's midfielder's ability to transport shells was completely scrapped, forcing Northampton's offensive line to break. The strikers and midfielders could only rely on their abilities to seek opportunities. They went their own way and were completely unable to play the smooth cooperation they were used to. .
At the same time, he uses his positioning to help defend and attack several players on the front line. After losing contact with their teammates, the isolated forward players had no choice but to rely on their personal abilities.
"What's more important is that their damn luck in counterattacking is really good"
If it were just defense, then Stuart wouldn't have a headache, but Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack was extremely resolute and efficient. They actually didn't get many chances in the first half, and only two of them resulted in a counterattack. The final shot.
But it was these two counterattacks that caused his team to fall behind the opponent by two goals in the away game.
"Think of a way" Just when Stuart was hoping to make some changes, the stadium staff had already come to inform them that they were ready to play. The second half of the game was about to begin, but he failed to come up with a suitable solution.In the end, Stuart could only symbolically encourage the players to restore their morale that had dropped due to falling behind, and at the same time, he said some tactical changes that seemed very bad but had little practical effect.
"Let's change it according to the situation after the game starts. And that damn Ashley really wants his foot to be kicked off." Stuart could only tell this in his heart, while secretly cursing his excellent performance in the first half. Ashley Young.
¡°Obviously, in Stuart¡¯s eyes at this time, Ashley Young is the person that Northampton needs to mark the most and is also the most terrifying person.
It wasn't that Stuart's prayers had an effect. Just ten minutes into the second half, Ashley Young, who had performed exceptionally well in the first half of Sheffield Wednesday, fell to the ground during a fight with Kevin. Then he screamed and rolled his thighs back and forth on the grass.
Northampton players who originally thought he was pretending protested a little at first, because Ashley Young's behavior brought Kevin a yellow card.
But then everyone passed and shot. The English native winger still fell to the ground and did not get up. He looked very painful. Realizing that something was wrong, the Sheffield Wednesday players immediately rushed. Then Ouyang Ao saw the players doing something to him. The substitution gesture, and he also saw the frightened look on Dzeko's face, made Ouyang Ao's heart beat inexplicably
"Could it be a big problem?" Ouyang Ao prayed secretly as he watched the medical staff carrying a stretcher into the stadium.
