When everyone sees Benatia, the most profound impression must be his eyes.
He never seems to wake up.
But only those who have actually competed one-on-one with him on the court can appreciate the defensive ability of this central defender.
Since coming to Southampton, Benatia has been favored and relied on by Bielsa.
His partner was first the veteran Jose Fonte, and later became the young teenager Varane, but Benatia's position is not the same.
It is unbeatable.
Many fans are full of doubts about Southampton's loss in the new season and doubt the team's strength, but Benatia has never doubted it because, like all his teammates, he is very aware of the team's strength.
So why can’t Southampton show this strength?
Benatia believes that it is still a matter of tactical adaptability.
Take his central defender as an example, leaving aside the midfielder's assistance and the planning of the team's entire defensive system, let's talk about one of the very insignificant details, running positions.
The movement of a defender is a technical job.
Who do you partner with, where are your teammates, and how do you respond?
These are all problems And you must know that once the defender intercepts the ball, it will be a one-on-one shot.
Southampton has conceded this kind of ball this season.
Goalkeeper Kevin Davis passed the ball to Varane.
As soon as the French youngster stopped the ball, someone appeared behind him.
It was too late to pass the ball again and he lost the ball.
Give the opponent a single sword.
Whose problem Many fans and media blamed Varane, but Kevin Davis took the initiative to apologize in the locker room after the game.
It was just a matter of movement, and Southampton was torn up and down.
What's more, football tactics are so complex, and movement is only a small part of it.
With Kevin Davis behind him, Benatia always felt uneasy, fearing that something might happen that would catch him off guard.
But in this game, standing behind him was the German national team's goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.
The German goalkeeper sat in front of the goal line, giving Benatia confidence.
What gave him more confidence was that as soon as the game started, Neuer shouted at the two central defenders in front of him.
"Don't huddle in the penalty area.
Just play how the coach tells you to play.
Go up when you need to, and shrink when you need to.
I'm behind you."
What is momentum?
This is the momentum of top players Benatia and Varane looked at each other, turned back, glanced at Neuer, and both nodded towards the German goalkeeper.
Although the team got the right to serve, the ball was intercepted as soon as it was sent to Charlton's thirty-meter area.
Charlton fought back and midfielder Semedo got the ball and passed it to Bradley Wright-Phillips.
Benatia saw that Bradley Wright-Phillips was short, flexible and fast, which did not allow him enough space to get the ball, so he made the decision immediately, "I'm going up." the Moroccan shouted to his teammates in broken English.
The language barrier is another problem encountered by Southampton's international team.
As soon as Varane saw him coming up, he moved to the middle, while Neuer stared ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.
Bradley Wright-Phillips just got the ball and Benatia immediately got close.
The tall Moroccan was like a dark cloud, blocking Wright-Phillips.
The surging momentum made Wright-Phillips' first reaction be to turn around and protect the ball.
Trying to turn around, Benatia made a clean kick, but while stealing the ball, he also tripped Wright-Phillips.
Charlton was given an indirect free kick from 30 meters out.
"Get rid of these bloody Southamptons" "Come on, Charlton" "Goal goal goal goal" Charlton fans in the stands suddenly cheered.
This is a set kick in the frontcourt, an opportunity to score.
In the chairman's stand, John Hunter stood up, clapped vigorously, and cheered loudly.
"It's a good opportunity.

Let's go first and show them some authority."
The group of lackeys around him also started to make noises.
It looked as if Charlton had scored.
"As for a set piece, you have to be so petty."
Yang Huan looked at this group of fussing people and felt that they were not pleasing to the eye.
They were so embarrassing to the rich second generation.
However, it is not difficult to see from this that these guys have spent a lot of money on Yang Huan's gambling.
If he loses, he will look extremely good-looking.
Below the pitch, Charlton's head coach Phil Parkinson rushed out to direct the team, arranging how to attack this free kick.
Several tall players on the team also rushed into Southampton's penalty area.
As the referee blew his whistle, the ball was kicked out and fell into the penalty area.
I saw German goalkeeper Neuer, who was playing for Southampton for the first time, suddenly rush out of the penalty area, leap high, raise his hands above his head, get ahead of everyone, pick off the ball in mid-air, and land like a god descending to earth.
Within the restricted area.
"Get them all up."
Neuer pointed forward, rushed forward quickly, and drove forward with a big kick.
But the game has just begun, and Charlton is also nervously guarding Southampton.
Therefore, this fast break was not successful.
But the ball was controlled by Southampton, and midfielder Adam Lallana saw no chance and passed the ball back.
Varane stopped the ball on the defensive line.
When he saw Carvajal on the right raising his hand to ask for the ball, he directly kicked the ball.
Carvajal stopped the ball on the right side and quickly moved forward.
When he burst into Charlton's half, he happened to see Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana running one behind the other and immediately split into the middle.
Adam Lallana faced the incoming ball and pushed the ball directly to Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Southampton youngster rushed forward, but Adam Lallana's kick was not very good.
He went too far when he stopped, causing him to slow down and was caught up by the opponent's midfielder Semedo to steal the ball successfully.
As soon as the ball was intercepted, Chamberlain immediately jumped into the counterattack, fell to the ground, shoveled, and intercepted the ball again.
Adam Lallana caught up and stabbed Carvajal directly on the right.
Fast and high-intensity pressure in the midfield and frontcourt is Southampton's biggest change this season.
After four games of familiarity and more than a month of training, they have adapted to Bielsa's tactical style and the requirements of the game.
As soon as Carvajal got the ball, he looked up towards the penalty area.
Vidal has already rushed into the penalty area, and Neymar and Stroman, who has inserted in the back row, have also followed to the front of the penalty area.
Where is Ibrahimovic?
Carvajal wants to find the commanding heights in the frontcourt Back point The Swedish center is too conspicuous As soon as Carvajal saw Ibrahimovic, he raised his right foot and passed the ball.
Phil Parkinson first noticed Southampton's counterattack in the frontcourt.
After seeing Carvajal steal the ball, his first reaction was to look towards the penalty area.
With a glance, he saw Ibrahimovic.
Strangely, the 31-year-old Spanish veteran Miguel Lelera followed on his right.
"Be careful with Ibrahimovic," Parkinson yelled onto the field.
But as soon as he shouted, the Swedish center suddenly started in the penalty area.
What surprised Miguel Lelera was that the Swedish center was not shorter than him, but his flexibility was much better than him, especially when he started, he was immediately thrown away.
By the time he reacted, Ibrahimovic had already rushed to the front of the small penalty area.
Goalkeeper Elliott quickly moved to the left and even fell to the ground early, trying to block Ibrahimovic's close shot.
But the Swedish center was too cunning.
He noticed Elliott's move, raised his right foot, and hit the ball in mid-air.
The ball turned in one direction, passed from the left side of Elliott, and went straight to the right side of the goal.

"goa" Harry, a Southampton fan in the stands, grabbed the guardrail and shouted excitedly, waving his arms.
The drumbeats became more intensive, and the drummer was playing with all his strength.
More than 4,000 Southampton fans cheered forgetfully.
Ibrahimovic rushed out of the court with a calm look on his face, not even a hint of joy of scoring a goal on his face.
Perhaps, for him, such a goal is too simple and too easy.
Charlton's entire defense looked at the ball in the goal line in frustration.
They didn't even understand why the ball suddenly went in.
Could it be that the world's top superstars are really that strong?
In the stands, Yang Huan stood up from his seat with excitement after seeing Ibrahimovic scoring.
"Well done, well done, Zlatan" After saying that, Yang Huanhui gave Zhang Ning a tight and passionate hug beside him.
After making the beauty's pretty face turn red, he turned to high-five Sun Yue and others to celebrate. "1:0, we will definitely win this game" Different from Yang Huan's excited celebration, the moment Ibrahimovic scored, John Hunter felt as if his heart had been cut with a knife, and the burning sting made him almost breathless.
Goal scored Southampton scored a goal like this Less than three minutes into the game, Southampton scored.
Is Charlton's defense made of paper?
A goal worth half a million pounds, no matter how rich John Hunter was, he had the urge to cry.
He felt that Charlton had not lost the ball, but his money, which he had thrown directly into the Thames.
"Damn, damn, damn" John Hunter was so angry that he stood up and roared at the players on the court, "F*ck, what are you doing for a living?
You were scored by Southampton so easily.
You are simply not worthy of being a player.
You are all."
Mother is a waste” He was heartbroken, and the rich second generations around him were also heartbroken, and they also lost money.
"Yeah, they are a bunch of trash.
They conceded the ball in the first three minutes.
This is simply worse than trash."
"I've never seen such a coward.
How on earth do defenders target people?
Didn't you see Ibrahimovic?"
"Damn it, did you receive money from Southampton?"
Yang Huan on the side was not happy after hearing this.
"Hey, you're familiar with it.
If you talk nonsense, be careful, I will sue you for slander."
Yang Huan pointed at the rich second generation and scolded them, "I have no ability.
If I lose the ball, who should I blame?"
John Hunter was furious, but when he heard Yang Huan's scolding, he calmed down and kept telling himself in his heart that it was only three minutes, only three minutes, and there was still time and opportunity.
"Don't be too arrogant and complacent.
The game has just begun.
You guys sneaked in and scored a goal.
What's the big deal?"
After finally calming down, John Hunter forced himself to calm down and immediately fought back.
"That's right, isn't it just a goal?"
"You were lucky, you scored a goal, and you thought you were the winner."
“When a blind cat meets a dead mouse, it’s hard to say who will win and who will lose.”
Yang Huan is in a good mood now that he has won the game, and he is not as knowledgeable as this group of people.
"Then let's wait and see."
John Hunter was also staring at the players on the court extremely nervously.
The game had restarted.

Charlton was still very passive on the court and retreated across the board.
"God, although I'm not usually very religious, you must help me.
I can't lose this game, I absolutely can't lose."
He knew full well that he had no half a million pounds to lose.
Not to mention, looking at Southampton's momentum now, I'm afraid they won't just be willing to score a goal.
When John Hunter was praying to his God, Neymar took the ball from the left on the court, cut to the center with the ball, and sought a one-two with Adam Lallana.
After the England midfielder got the ball from the front of the penalty area, Pass to the left post.
Like a bolt of lightning, Neymar drilled straight into the left post, volleyed easily with his left foot in front of the goal, and once again broke into Charlton's goal. 2:0 Beautiful, Zlatan” After saying that, Yang Huanhui gave Zhang Ning a tight and passionate hug beside him.
