This Bielsa is indeed a lunatic.
Benitez stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench at St.
Mary's Stadium.
He turned his head and glanced at Bielsa who was squatting in front of the home team's coaching bench.
He smiled and sighed secretly.
If Southampton is determined to win this game and wants to continue its impact on Manchester United.
Chelsea also has the belief that they must win because they want to keep their top four spot in the league.
For this game, Benitez was fully prepared and deployed his troops very carefully.
When he took over the Blues this season, Benitez made an agreement with Abramovich.
He was only the team's transitional coach.
After one year of coaching, Abramovich's real goal was Mourinho of Real Madrid.
But even so, Benitez still showed his coaching level.
From the 4,231 during the Di Matteo period to the current 4,411, Benitez's team has become more stable.
Benitez is more familiar with four-two-three-one than anyone else.
This is his famous trick.
But he also knows better than anyone how high the requirements for wide players, especially full-backs, are.
The distance between the full-backs and wingers is too long, causing the entire wing to be too weak in defense.
Chelsea's two full-backs, Ashley Cole and Ivanovic, are old and the other is obviously not a one-stop player on the wing.
In addition to the frontcourt, whether it is Mata, Adam Lallana or Oscar, the areas where they are used to moving are very close, and their playing styles are also very similar.
They are not the type of players who can play wide on the wing.
This makes Chelsea's entire four-two-three-one tactics very problematic on the wing.
Therefore, after Benitez took over, he began to adjust the team and changed it to a 4411 tactic.
At the same time, Benitez also has choices for the three talented players in the midfield, Mata, Adam Lallana and Oscar.
At most, two of the three players can play at the same time, or even only one occasionally.
Another starting spot was given to teenager Moses, an African winger with extremely fast speed.
Although the technique and consciousness are a bit rough, it is fast and has strong impact, which is enough.
Chelsea still adopted the 4411 tactic in this game.
The goalkeeper is Cech, and the defense is Ashley Cole, Benatia, David Luiz and Ivanovic.
The midfielder is Oscar, Lampard, Mikel and Ramires.
The forward line is one behind the other, with Demba Ba and Mata respectively.
As for Spanish fellow Torres, he has been relegated to the sidelines by Benitez.
Southampton's performance this season is getting better and better.
This team is very young.
As the season progresses, the players increase the number of goals quickly and make rapid progress.
Moreover, Bielsa's tactics are changeable and difficult to guard against.
But Benitez is also a master of tactics.
Although his starting lineup has obvious flaws, it is already the strongest lineup Chelsea can field.
It will be difficult to win against Southampton away from home, but it will not be a disastrous defeat.
But who would have thought that Bielsa would surprise everyone from the beginning.
In this battle, Bielsa boldly made a change of formation and actually switched to three defenders.
Nastasic, Xavi Martinez and Varane, all three central defenders are on the pitch More importantly, Matic is in the defensive midfield position.
In front of Matic, Pogba and Modric were arranged to start at the same time.
On the front line, there is a double forward combination of Drogba and Sturridge.
There are two more Danilo and Gareth Bale Two players are on the right and left respectively, acting as wing free agents.
Faced with such tactics, Benitez almost collapsed.

In the past two or three years, I have never seen Southampton adopt such a tactical style.
Why did it suddenly change?
But when it comes to three defenders, Bielsa is the master.
His peak moments were achieved by relying on three central defenders.
Of course, his three-three-one-three tactics when he was in the Argentina national team were criticized by fans.
But in the coaching circle, his tactics are still highly respected.
Now, with the introduction of three defenders again, who dares to be careless?
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Benitez called on the players to be careful and to shrink the formation.
But even so, Southampton bombarded Chelsea's goal from the beginning.
Almost from the beginning of the game, there was a turmoil in front of Chelsea's goal, and the Saints' offensive came one after another.
Especially the two free men on the wing, who are fast, have excellent running ability, and have strong personal abilities.
They can go up and down.
They threaten Chelsea's penalty area time and time again and help Southampton create a lot of scoring opportunities.
Only twenty minutes into the first half, Southampton had already shot ten shots, four of which were on target.
They also received three corner kicks, one offside, six fouls, and no yellow cards.
From this data, you can completely imagine how intense the competition was and how fast the pace was.
In this game, Bielsa made it clear that he was taking advantage of the home court and going all out to use a fierce offensive to completely defeat Chelsea.
Benitez was unable to do anything about this.
There is a saying that goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.
There is no one, and there is nothing he can do
"Drogba, Sturridge and Matic were all active today."
Sitting in the chairman's stand at St.
Mary's Stadium, Yang looked at Abramovich with a smile.
The Russian traveled with the team to Southampton and was invited to sit in the chairman's stand, sitting next to Yang Huan.
At this moment, hearing Yang Huan's words, the Russian's cheeks felt burning and tingling.
These three players were all given to Southampton by Chelsea for free, but now, each of them has made a name for himself.
Abramovich even felt that Yang Huan must have done it on purpose.
In this game against Chelsea, the purpose of arranging this group of old Chelsea players to start is to humiliate him.
This is really an injustice to our young master Huan, who has such a bad taste after nothing?
Besides, now is a critical moment in the championship battle with Manchester United.
There is no room for failure in a game.
You can play casually like this.
"What a pity, Cech performed so well," Yang Huan shook his head and sighed.
From the opening to the present, Southampton has been pressing Chelsea in the attack, and has also created quite a few scoring opportunities, but Cech saved at least two Southampton must-goal opportunities.
It can only be said that the Czech goalkeeper returned to the top tonight with the help of God.
Abramovich watched with horror.
Almost every attack by Southampton could make him break out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would accidentally score a goal.
The most annoying thing is Drogba.
Damn it, haven’t you started playing as a substitute this season?
Why are you so active in this game, as if you were given chicken blood?
Is there any bonus?
You are already a lot older, so you don’t know how to take your time and kick the ball.
"Roman, I want to discuss something with you," Yang Huan turned his head and said with a smile.
Abramovich's eyelids twitched.
When this guy smiles, something bad will happen.

"What's the matter?"
He looked very wary.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, you don’t want to poach us, do you?
Yang Huan became depressed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I really don't like you Chelsea's little possessions."
These words immediately made Abramovich depressed. disdain Chelsea's impressive lineup, you can't even look down on it
But looking at the pitch and thinking about Southampton's lineup, Abramovich wanted to cry.
It’s not surprising that people look down on her In which position does Southampton currently have no capable star?
One is considered too little, two is normal This is simply the configuration of Real Madrid and Barcelona "What is that?"
Abramovich asked still warily.
Yang Huan smiled and said, "I see, it's not interesting to just watch the game.
How about we take a gamble again?"
"Gamble" Abramovich is sensitive to this word and has a phobia.
"Let's bet smaller.
I have recently taken a liking to Liverpool's Suarez.
If Chelsea loses, you will pay to help me bring him in.
If Southampton loses, I will also pay to help you bring in a player.
How?
Sample" Abramovich looked down at the court and felt depressed.
It’s not like my fucking brain has been kicked by a donkey, I bet with you Now in this situation, your team is beating my team, why would I be stupid enough to go and bet with you in the middle of winter?
Is there anything wrong with my mind?
"Don't you dare?"
Yang Huan made an expression that said, "You can't be so courageous."
Abramovich wanted to say, who dares But unfortunately, the only reason left in his mind told him that now was really not the time to be willful.
"In this case, I'll give you a ball," Yang Huan said boldly.
Abramovich still dared not say anything.
Looking at the situation below the pitch, even if Southampton concedes a goal, it is not safe.
Being completely pressed, who knows when the ball will be lost?
"No big deal, I'll let you have two balls, okay?"
Yang Huan was depressed.
He almost didn't ask, did you hide little Roman in the safe and didn't dare to take it out?
I've given you two balls, but you still don't dare Abramovich did have a phobia towards Yang Huan.
He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, I swear on my fingers to quit gambling."
I wipe Yang Huan looked at his hand.
Abramovich didn't have time to hide it.
He saw that all ten fingers were in good condition.
Why did he say that he had stopped gambling after chopping off his fingers?
But at this point, he finally understood that this guy definitely didn’t dare to gamble anymore.
"Oh, forget it, if you don't want to bet, I can't force you not to be."
Abramovich breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, Yang Huan's next words made him almost run away.
"Since you don't dare to bet, then I'll just bet my left hand and my right hand."
After finishing speaking, Yang Huan raised his hands.
"Left hand, left hand, how many goals do you think you can win?"
"Win at least four" "With so few, I think I can win five."
"How about we make a bet?"

"Okay, whoever loses will take off their clothes and run naked."
"Okay, no problem" Abramovich wanted to cry while listening to it.
This was such a slap in the face.
I really think I’m dead He gambled with his left hand and his right hand, and ran away naked when he lost the bet.
Why don't you tell me how your fingers are running naked?
But what can Abramovich dare to say?
He was invited in person, but he still didn't dare to bet.
What could he say at this time?
But it was at this time that the situation on the court suddenly changed.
The Southampton midfielder stole the ball and quickly advanced into Chelsea's penalty area.
Gareth Bale, who quickly came in from the left, reached the left side of the penalty area at lightning speed.
Modric received Drogba's pass and passed it to the left.
After receiving the ball, Gareth Bale glanced at the penalty area and picked up the ball with his left foot.
The ball traced an arc and fell towards the back of the goal.
Sturridge was seen throwing away Chelsea's defenders.
After quickly getting in, he hit the spot where the ball landed and fired a powerful volley.
The ball drew an arc, grazed the right post of the goal with great accuracy, and crashed into Chelsea's goal. one to zero
Sturridge's goal completely ignited the passion of St.
Mary's Stadium.
Abramovich sat in the stands and secretly said:
