"The game is over!"
"Southampton defeated Arsenal four-to-zero with Pogba's brace and Suarez and Hazard's goals at Wembley Stadium, and won the start of the new season."
"Gary, what do you think of this game?"
The question is the famous English Premier League commentator, Nair Quinn.
At this time, the live TV camera was aimed at the Southampton players reveling on the stadium and the fans celebrating wildly in the stands, while waiting for the award ceremony after the game.
Sitting next to Nair Quinn is the former Manchester United star and the legendary England right back, Gary Neville.
"I think Wenger should be in the locker room now and tell his players that this is just a friendly match. Don't overestimate its importance. Bielsa should be affirming the team's performance while also Remind the players, don't be too obsessed with the result of the game, because it is just a slightly more important warm-up match!"
Hearing what Gary Neville said, Nair Quinn burst out laughing.
"It's really interesting, isn't it?"
"Yes, but such a game can't explain anything!" Gary Neville confessed.
Nair Quinn asked strangely: "Don't you think that neither side did their best in this game?"
"Of course not, they have already used all their strength, but in many cases, the first game of the new season can't explain the problem, especially the Community Shield."
Nair Quinn nodded, "Then how do you evaluate Arsenal's performance in this game?"
"How do you say?" Gary Neville thought for a while, "The Gunners' current problem is not the lack of strength of the team. The Arsenal lineup, with Wenger's ability, is still the possibility of competing for the top four in the league. It’s huge, but their poor performance in strong dialogues has not been improved."
Nair Quinn added: "Last season when Arsenal played very badly against Liverpool, Southampton and Manchester City, they lost a lot of points."
"Yes, that's right, the Gunners' midfield loss is a long-standing problem, but Wenger always believes that a good offense can effectively relieve the pressure of defense, so his approach is not simply to strengthen the team. Midfield defense."
Nair Quinn said: "We have noticed that Southampton is also a midfielder with technical players."
"Yes, but last season, Tony Cross and Modric's double defensive midfielder can provide Southampton with strong organization and creativity, while also giving eye-catching defensive data. But Arsenal Except for Arteta's midfielder, no one can give such a performance."
"In this game, Tony Cross played the full game among the three Southampton midfielders. In this game, his single pass once again exceeded one hundred and fifty times. Why? I would say, again?"
Gary Neville smiled admiringly and nodded, "Last season, the two best passers in the Premier League were Tony Cross and Modric. Both of them were far ahead of the rest of the Premier League. Passers, even in Europe, they are all the best."
"As early as last season, I kept saying that Southampton’s most important midfielder is Tony Cross, because he has five games throughout the season and has passed more than 120 passes in a single game. There were more than one hundred and fifty single games in three games, but what about Modric? No!"
"Since 2010, there have been more than 120 single games, Harvey has 24 games, followed by Tony Cross, seven times, and then Tiago, five games, and In third place are Harvey Alonso and Pirlo, both in four games."
"With more than 150 passes in a single game, Harvey has 17 times, Tony Cross and Thiago both have five times, and both Harvey Alonso and Pirlo have four times."
"In the first game of this season, Tony Cross played the full court, scoring nearly 170 passes, and the success rate was as high as 92%. This is quite a scary one. A thing, because he just played the whole game in the Brazil World Cup."
"Is this difficult to understand?" Nair Quinn was a little strange. "The World Cup in Brazil has been over for a month, and in the past month, he has not played many games, even the International Champions Cup. "
"No, no, no, Nell, you didn't understand what I was saying, that's exactly what I wanted to say."
"Oh?" Nair Quinn really didn't understand.
"My favorite player, Pirlo once said that what he hates most is the warm-up before the game, because the warm-up makes him feel sick, and my teammate, Scholes, is the same, even I believe, Harvey and Thiago It's the same for the players."
"But Tony Cross is obviously different. After he participated in the World Cup, Southampton gave him a two-week holiday, but I heard that he returned to the team after a week off, and then he began to strictly follow the Saints’ coaching staff. His professionalism is admirable."
"So, we saw that Di Maria is still taking a break, but Tony Cross has already played the whole game."
"Remember? I once said that Southampton is further improving the physical fitness of the players. They have invested a lot of money to help their players get rid of the current level of sports science."
"You mean Tony Cross is walking this way?" Neil Quinn asked.
"Yes!" Gary Neville nodded firmly, "not only him, but other players, such as Fabregas."
Nair Quinn smiled. "He only played halftime."
"Yes, but did you notice that? Fabregas almost dominated the attack in this half of the game. In the first forty-five minutes of the game, he gave nearly 80 passes, including Forty-one feet passed to the penalty area, and successfully found a teammate and reached 31 feet. What is this concept?"
Nair Quinn explained the Premier League games for many years, and naturally realized that this data is indeed quite eye-catching.
"Southampton let Modric go because they felt that they should reduce the team's control and improve the team's effective offense. Therefore, they sold Modric and introduced Fabregas."
"Through this game, we have also seen that Pogba is fully equipped to occupy a place in the midfield. After Oscar came off the bench in the second half, his performance was also quite good. Kovacic seemed to have the potential to succeed Modric. "
"I even seriously suspect that, in order to test his midfielder, even Matic, who was originally going to replace Tony Cross on the field, was temporarily changed to play the left central defender and partnered with Varane, and who Dare to say that Matic played as left center back, wouldn't it be another Harvey Martinez?"
"Hehe, Gary, it makes me feel a little bit..." Nair Quinn laughed. "I can't figure it out at all. What kind of team thinking is Southampton now?"
"Don't say you don't understand, I don't understand, I guess only crazy Bielsa can understand!" Gary Neville laughed haha, "But, I can be very sure that Southampton has no strength Weakened, but strengthened!"
"what do you mean……"
"Southampton's offensive ability is stronger than last season!"
"Then this team is invincible?"
"No, of course they have a flaw. That is the defense, especially the left center back, who walked away Harvey Martinez, whether it's Laporte or Nastasic, or the guest Matic, who will come? Partner Varane may leave hidden dangers."
"More importantly, before the midfielder with double midfielders, Modric's ability to fight on defense was very helpful to the midfield defense, and now Fabregas can guarantee the offensive level , To provide more support to the defense, this is a question."
"For players like Fabregas, Tony Kroos, and even Pogba, their most distinctive ability is not reflected in the data at all. Their understanding of football far exceeds the vast majority. The other players in, they can see through the game, they can read the game, they can control the rhythm of the game, and they know everything around them."
"Oh, yes, Di Maria is also such a player sometimes, but he is not stable enough, so I believe that, as Bielsa said before the game, Di Maria's psychology is not suitable for the Premier League. He still needs some time, but Fabregas doesn't use it."
"In the new season, Southampton's frontcourt trident is strong enough. If Bielsa integrates this set of midfielders, then any team facing Southampton has only one choice, and that is to defend!"
At this point, Gary Neville laughed in surprise, "Hey, Neel, don't look at me with that kind of eyes, you have to believe that we are lucky."
"why?"
"Because, we have just witnessed a great Barcelona, but now, we are witnessing the rise of a great saint again, you say, this is not luck, what is it?"
Nair Quinn really did not expect that Gary Neville would have such a high evaluation of Southampton.
Is it because he recently started to write a column on a mobile football app in China, so he deliberately flattered Yang Huan?
But soon, he denied this idea.
Because he knows that Gary Neville has been a straightforward and sincere person from the time he was a player.
Just ask, how can a critic who even his favorite Manchester United criticize once he performs poorly, how can he flatter a team that he has no feelings for?
At this time, there was a burst of deafening cheers from the stadium stands.
It turned out that the award ceremony had already begun.
The Southampton players, led by captain Neuer, successively embarked on the Royal Box.
It can be seen from the live TV footage that Yang Huan walked to the exit of the box specially and hugged the players who came up one by one.
Their relationship is very warm, talking and laughing with each other.
After embracing Yang Huan, the players moved towards Prince William one after another, and from the hands of the Saints fan, they took the Community Shield Cup championship trophy.
When Neuer was surrounded by his teammates and UU reading www.uukansshu.com raised the Community Shield championship trophy, the audience thundered with applause.
Pogba, who was elected as the best player in the game, even opened the champagne directly, holding the bottle mouth, and constantly spraying the teammates beside him.
Everyone saw this scene, and they couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Let us congratulate Southampton!"
"They deserve to win the game!"
"At the same time, let us also look forward to the fact that in the new season of the Premier League, the Saints can continue to bring us more pleasing offensive football, and also bring us more exciting games and create more surprises."
"Finally, here, we want to thank Gary Neville for his wonderful commentary and comments."
"This is Sky TV, I'm Nair Quinn, we will see you in the new season!"
