I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 404 The dog’s teeth are ferocious!A showdown between violent attack and counterattack!The quote is missing a zero?

Southampton's two forwards starting this time are 33-year-old veterans Connolly and Barnard.

Connolly did not play many games in the new season. In addition to his age, frequent injuries in training are also a major reason.

Although they are not serious injuries, they do affect his chances of playing.

Barnard's recent performance is not good enough. The reason why coach Adkins started the two of them today was mainly due to the physical problems of Gurley and Schroeder.

Gurley and Schroeder fought fiercely in the last knockout round, and their physical fitness has not returned to its best condition.

The core condition for coach Adkins to select starting players is physical fitness.

A professional player who lacks physical fitness is not worthy of starting, especially in key games with high confrontation.

The left midfielder is still Chamberlain. Although Chamberlain occasionally loses power and is poor defensively, Chamberlain's speed and momentum in the left front position, especially the cooperation with Gu Ran on the left wing, are still very good.

The right midfielder was replaced by attacking right midfielder Jason Pangchon to replace Schneiderlin, who was fighting continuously.

The two midfielders are still Lambert and Hammond.

The left back is still Gu Ran, and the right back is replaced by Fant.

The two central defenders are veteran Jaidi and young Aaron Martin.

Although Martin's performance in the last game was not good and resulted in a penalty kick, coach Adkins still chose to trust Martin in this game.

After all... deputy Walton's half-court fitness is really not reassuring.

The goalkeeper is naturally captain Davis.

Overall, Southampton's starting lineup today has undergone a major change. The right wing is almost a completely new combination, which will make it more difficult to play. But in fact, as long as Gu Ran is on the court, Coach Adkins dares to adopt such a bold rotation. Everything Focus on physical fitness.

Huddersfield Town has a 352 formation.

According to pre-match military intelligence, Huddersfield Town’s tactical style favors traditional physical confrontation. The frontcourt players often create cross opportunities through simple wing cooperation or 1-on-1 breakthroughs, and then the center grabs the ball in front of the goal. .

Different from Sheffield United's defensive nature, Huddersfield Town is more inclined to attack. Their head coach Paul Stephenson believes in the philosophy that the best defense is attack.

Harbin's two centers are No. 24 Benike Afobe and No. 17 Jordan Rhodes.

Benik Afobi is only 17 years old this year. He joined Arsenal's youth training camp when he was 8 years old. He is a serious pedigree of Arsenal's youth training.

When Benik was 16 years old, he was spotted by Wenger and signed a professional contract to join Arsenal's youth team. When he was 17 years old, he was loaned to Huddersfield Town for training.

Benik is 180cm, 75kg. He has strong physical confrontation, high explosive power, and extremely fast speed. He can move accurately without the ball. His imagination, footwork and shooting skills are all top-notch for his age.

The other Jordan Rhodes is even more amazing.

Jordan Rhodes is 20 years old this year. He is 186cm tall and weighs 71kg. Not only is he highly physically confrontational, he is also very flexible. His heading ability, running ability, and sense of smell in front of goal are amazing. He is definitely the top player in the current English league. One of the best players out there.

According to statistics from military intelligence before the game, Jordan Rhodes played 24 times in Harbin and scored 27 goals.

This kind of scoring efficiency is second only to Gu Ran.

Of course, Gu Ran is like a bug god. The English League One has only been going on for less than three months, and all the English League One teams are studying how to restrict Gu Ran.

But no matter what, the two centers of Hazhen are very young, very physical, and powerful strikers.

Especially in conjunction with Shanghazhen's aggressive attack mentality, the power of these two sharp knives will inevitably become even more powerful.

Harbin's three central midfielders are No. 16 Scott Arfield, No. 4 Joey Gudjansson, and No. 11 Anthony Pilkington.

No. 16 Scott Arfield has been selected for the Scotland youth team 15 times and has scored 2 goals. He is known as Scotland's future midfield star. However, it is a pity that he has been stuck in the low-level leagues for many years and has not made progress and has no decent improvement. As a result of the breakthrough, the young player was not kicked out in the end, and was not even included in the Scotland national team's squad.

Because Scott Arfield has dual nationality of Scotland and Canada, Scott Arfield, who was not called up by the Scottish national team, finally chose to represent his second nationality, the Canadian national team, in 2016.

This kind of example of having a second nationality and changing the national team is not new abroad - but it will still be regarded as a traitor by local fans.

Generally speaking, Arfield's passing ability and frontcourt connection ability are still very strong at present.Arfield's best skills are penalty kicks, ball stops, and his unstoppable physical condition.

No. 4 Joey Gudjansson is a player of the Icelandic national team. He is 30 years old this year and has rich experience in competitions. He has been selected for the Icelandic national team 34 times and scored 1 goal.

Even though it was only 1 goal, it was achieved in an official national team game, so it is very valuable.

Joey Gudjansen is 173cm tall and not very tall, but his skills are comprehensive, both offensive and defensive, his midfield interception and stealing ability is first-class, his creativity, passing, anticipation, aggressiveness, explosive power, speed, and physical fitness are very strong , as a central midfielder today, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Southampton team.

Joey Gudjansson's weakness is that he has a hot temper and cannot bounce well, making it difficult to defend against high-altitude balls and fight for the top.

Speaking of which, Joey Gudjansson also has some connections with the Southampton team.

Previously, Southampton was looking for a midfielder and offered Joey Gudjansson, hoping to bring Gudjansson to St. Mary's Stadium. However, Gudjansson publicly ridiculed in the newspaper that Southampton's offer seemed One less 0 was played.

In the end, Joey Gudjansson joined Huddersfield Town, which played aggressively, and promised to lead Huddersfield Town back to the English Championship, and then take Huddersfield Town to the Premier League to achieve a historic breakthrough.

No. 11 Anthony Pilkington has a balanced left and right foot. He is a rare midfielder and a versatile player. He can play as a left and right attacking midfielder, a central midfielder, and even a guest forward.

Anthony Pilkington once trained in the Manchester United youth academy. He started his career with Stockport in the English Second Division. In 2008, he led the Stockport team to be promoted to the English First Division. He also won the English Second Division Player of the Year that year. Best player.

After joining Huddersfield Town in 09, he quickly became the team's main player due to his ability to play multiple positions. His basic technical skills are very solid, and he has amazing free kicks and long-range shooting skills.

Harbin's left wing-back is No. 20 Kevin Kilbani.

The 33-year-old veteran is an Irish international. He has been selected 103 times and scored 7 goals. He is 183cm tall and weighs 83kg. He is a typical human tank, aggressive and confrontational, with good defensive positioning and super physical fitness. Strong.

The disadvantage is that the speed is too slow due to too much weight and the turning is not flexible enough.

But fortunately, Harbin's wing-back style is crazy offensive, and the defensive requirements are not too high.

Kevin Kilbane is on loan from the English Championship team Hull City. In his rich career, he played for Preston North End in League Two, West Bromwich Albion in League One and also helped West Bromwich Albion. Qi successfully promoted to the English Championship, and then he was bought by the Premier League team Sunderland. After Sunderland was relegated, he moved to Everton. Everton was the highlight of his career, and he was later transferred to Everton. After arriving at Wigan Athletic, he moved to Hull City in the English Championship at the end of his career and was loaned to Huddersfield Town in the English League One.

A typical wandering player.

Harbin's right wing-back is No. 8 Anthony Kay.

This player is 180cm tall and weighs 80kg. He is known as Daddy's Little Steel Cannon. In addition to his abundant physical strength and fierce confrontation, heading the ball is also a major advantage.

Of course, his shortcomings are the same as those of left wing back Kevin Kilbani, which are slow speed, slow turns, and lack of explosive power.

In a 352 formation like Hazhen, the wing-backs are very important. The style of the wing-backs almost determines the general style of the game. The wing-backs rush fiercely and forward. This style is to open up and close. , Attack wildly, but if the wing back is poor in defense and turns around slowly to catch up, it is easy for the opponent to beat him behind and prevent a counterattack.

Coach Adkins is keenly aware of this, so Southampton's style today is not to attack Harden Town, but to play defense with peace of mind.

——I will use my physical energy to strangle you and force you to make mistakes. If you have the ability, Qiha Town will keep attacking without making mistakes, because as long as you make mistakes, you cannot afford it.

Harbin's three central defenders are No. 3 Gary Nasmith, No. 5 captain Peter Clark, and No. 18 Jamie McCombie.

The 32-year-old veteran Gary Nasmith has rich experience. He can not only play as a center back, but also as a left back and left wing back. He has good anticipation, strong confrontation, and is also good at crossing and marking.

The 28-year-old captain Peter Clark is a good player in defensive positioning, tackling, and defensive line command.

Jamie McCombie is 2 meters tall and is a typical high school defender with good bounce and header. He is a very sharp killer in corner kicks and free kicks.

Finally, Harbin's goalkeeper is No. 1 Alex Smithis, who is 188cm tall and weighs 84kg. He is extremely confrontational in the penalty area and has an advantage against the opponent's center players.

The 20-year-old Alex Smithis is also a native player of Harbin Town. He has been training in the Harbin Town youth training camp since he was a child. He is affectionately called...their little dog by the Harbin Town fans.

Later, Alex Smithies transferred to Queens Park Rangers.

In general, Huddersfield Town's overall lineup is still very strong, but there are no particularly famous stars, and naturally there are no skills worth exploiting.

At this time, with the whistle of the referee on duty, the 8th round of the English League One match officially began!
