On the court, the stability of both sides gave the two commentators plenty of time to introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

On the side of Arsenal, the professor in this game did not mean to hold back as he said. He directly put the team's most offensive 433.

However, in the starting lineup, he still carried out large-scale rotations.

"Chamberlain, Liu Feng and Walcott form the team's three forwards, haha, this is the Gunners' forward combination of two seasons ago."

In the three-front line arrangement, Saints former player Chamberlain and Gunners Youth Training Little Tigers started at the same time again. Many fans still remember the scene of their two wings flying together on both sides of Liu Feng a season ago.

"In the arrangement of the three midfielders, Cazorla and Gansogagranero's combination started, and the Gunners' substitute lineup made people feel that their strength was weakened at all. This champion team has now completely completed the entire team's changes."

If Arsenal really relied on the team's remnants of the team in the first season of Van Persie's departure, then everything has changed with the continuous buying and replacing people in these three seasons.

Nowadays, no one will say that Arsenal's bench is insufficient. Some strong players are willing to come here to seek the position of the main player from the substitute.

"In the four defenders, Gibbs and Kavajal are one left and one right, while in the central defender, Vermalen is partnered with Koscheerny, and as for the goalkeeper, they are still the Gunners goalkeeper Szczesny."

Liu Jianhong quickly introduced the Gunners' starting lineup, and it was true that none of the main players made the appearance, but the central axis of Liu Feng-Ganso-Vermuren has not changed at all. The Gunners' threat in this game is still huge.

Afterwards, Zhan Jun introduced Southampton's starter in this game as quickly as possible after the Gunners' offense gradually pushed through half.

"Pochettino's tactical style in this game was very pragmatic, and he played 451 at his opponent's home court."

This formation was used by them to win against Liverpool and tie Manchester United, and it was not much different in starting.

"Lambert serves as the team's single forward, and the left and right front guards are now the winger Jay Rodriguez and Saints captain Larana."

Rather than saying it is 451, Southampton's formation position is more like 4141. On the two in the middle, the Saints' starting points are Black and Hard Wan Yama and the team's midfield core Schneiderlin.

Behind them is the midfielder Wade Prosey, born in 1994 and now only 19 years old. This young player has performed very well after being boldly activated by Pochettino.

On the back line, Luke Shaw, who has attracted the attention of many Premier League giants, is in the left back position, while Jose Wonter and Lovren are two stable defenders, the right back is Klein and Porus.

Many of the Saints' starting players are shining star players this season. After Pochettino trained for a season, these young people have shown many highlights that have attracted attention to the start of the game.

At this moment, on the court, as Arsenal's offense slowly pressed, their crazy pressing and coordinated defense quickly made people feel their fighting spirit.

"The ball was intercepted~ It was surprising that the Gunners' first offensive attempt did not even go deep into the midfield's hinterland."

On the court, the ball under Arsenal was soon cut off by the opponent. Granero, who was trying to push the ball with Jay Rodriguez and Wanyama, was unable to stabilize it.

However, since the Gunners' formation was reserved, their concealment did not give Southampton a good opportunity to launch a counterattack. After the ball was given to Schneiderling's feet, the midfield commander did not launch the team's attack.

Both sides began to press around the ball rights within the middle circle.

On Arsenal, Ganso and Caszorla became the main force in direct contact and confrontation, while Granero, who is not very good at confrontation, was a little worse.

On Southampton, the arrangement of the five midfielders was not just for the sake of watching. Except for Wade Pross, who guarded the final gate to prevent the Gunners from intercepting the ball and then launched a counterattack, the other four people ran as fast as possible.

"Oh~, from this point of view, Pochettino's playing style is quite similar to Klopp. Nowadays, young coaches seem to like to use their desperate spirit to challenge strong enemies."

Zhan Jun soon started chatting with interest, but if you don’t say it, it’s true that the members of Southampton and Dortmund are also very similar, both of which are mainly young people.

Perhaps the biggest difference between the two sides is that many players in the Dortmund team have grown into world-class, while Southampton is still budding.

I have to say that this time Pochettino's decision was definitely very right, because the professor's formation arrangement was not for dealing with Dortmund-type teams.

In the 17th minute of the game, Southampton, which gradually regained the situation, gradually occupied the initiative, and they began to control the ball for a long time and kept pushing the lineup.

The Gunners' three midfielders faced the pressure given by their opponents gradually became difficult to resist, and the battle area between the two sides came to the midfield of Arsenal.

"Sneiderling received a pass from Wan Yama again. Wan Yama performed his role very well in this game. This is not the first time he cut the ball and gave it to his partner."

"Swish!"

The ball passed through the air, and when Schneiderling took the ball and the Gunners' pressing was not yet in place, he quickly captured the opportunity that flashed away.

"A straight pass like a scalpel, the ball passed through the middle of Ganso and Granero, and Larana quickly ran to get the ball! Southampton broke through the Gunners' midfield defense."

"Boom!!! Saints! Saints! Saints!"

The entire Emirates Stadium was filled with Southampton fans for the first time, and Larana quickly rushed to the Gunners' back line amid such shouts.

"Koscheerney chose to attack. He did not give Larana a chance to dribble the ball and shoot a long shot. The two met in the penalty area and passed the ball again~"

The next moment, Larana, who was diagonally inserted into the middle of the penalty area, stuffed the ball out with a diagonal kick.

"The straight pass from the front left, Jay Rodriguez got the ball!"

"Swish~"

With a direct hit, Kavajal was easily deducted when his opponent's speed was already full. Then Southampton's shooter king has chosen to hit the goal so far this season.

"Cut inward to hit the goal, and the ball is thrown to the upper right corner of the goal!"

The extremely standard inward cut shot was shot, touched the ball and pushed the ball, then shot the ball outside the instep. The ball flew over the Gunners' defenders at the most perfect angle and also over the tips of Szczesny's fingertips.

"The ball is in!!!"
Chapter completed!
