Chapter 45 Who Else Do You Want?
Jonathan Moss and others are indeed very fair, and there is no problem with law enforcement.
Injustice is the outcome of the game!
Bielsa's first game in the Premier League, coupled with the strong attention that Southampton attracted this summer, has made this game a strong focus of English football, and even European football and world football.
In the field of professional coaches, they pay attention to Bielsa, and they want to know more clearly whether Bielsa will continue his excellent performance in the Chilean national team after he coaches Southampton.
There is also whether he can continue his tactical madness at Southampton.
In this game, none of the more than 30,000 seats at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton were vacant. Countless fans gathered at St. Mary's Stadium to support the team, looking forward to seeing this brand-new Southampton team led by Bielsa.
In a survey conducted by the Southern Echo before the game, 52% of fans expected Bielsa to create a set of the most advanced and rigorous tactical system for Southampton.
Forty-three percent of fans expect Bielsa to lead the team to play hearty offensive football.
From this survey, it is enough to reflect the support and affirmation of the Saints fans for Bielsa.
However, the final result of the game disappointed all Saints fans.
Bielsa had a 4213 formation in this game instead of the 3313 he had been controversial before.
The goalkeeper is Kevin Davies, the back line from left to right is Daniel Harding, Benatia, Jose Fonte and Carvajal, and the midfield is Strowman and Schneider. Lin leaned back, Adam Lallana centered in the center.
The three players in the frontcourt are James Rodriguez on the left, youngster Chamberlain on the right, and Lambert in the center.
Southampton's lineup is definitely one of the best in League One. Bielsa's tactical literacy and his ability to train are also unquestionable, which can be reflected in Southampton's almost full play The advantages.
Typical Bielsa style, completely pressing Plymouth.
Plymouth, who played away from home, was almost out of breath by Southampton from the beginning. Southampton's ball possession rate was even as high as 67%, which shows how embarrassed Plymouth was on the field.
But the final score was 1:1.
Southampton took the lead in the first half with a goal from Adam Lallana.
However, in the second half, Plymouth counterattacked, and the sneak attack succeeded and equalized the score.
In the end, Southampton suffered a tragic draw at their home court despite taking full advantage of the field.

Accompanied by Zhang Ning, Nicola Cortes, Sun Yue, and Keish Harris, who came from London, Yang Huan watched the game on the podium of St. Mary's Stadium.
Frankly, he was not satisfied with the result of the game.
"We should have won this game, and it should have been a big win!"
Yang Huan was unwilling, because he felt it was a fact.
Southampton almost had the advantage on the field, but the result of the game was a draw, which was unfair.
Nicola Cortes also shook his head and sighed,
"Actually, Bielsa himself should be mentally prepared. After all, he has only been running in with the team for half a month. It is a bit difficult to form a combat effectiveness in such a short period of time."
If Bielsa is the type of typical English manager who just hits the back with long passes to find the center, then Southampton will have no problem adapting, because this is England's signature tactic.
But Bielsa likes to think very much, he likes to dig into details, and he likes to tailor tactical positioning for each player that matches their technical characteristics, which requires him to be familiar with and understand each player.
At the same time, every player needs to understand Bielsa's tactical intentions and ideas.
"What did Martin Hunter say?" Yang Huan asked.
Martin Hunter was the former youth team coach. After Alan Pardew was fired by Yang Huan, he became the team's acting head coach. After Bielsa coached Southampton, he became Bielsa's assistant coach.
He was considered a pawn placed by Yang Huan in Stapletwood, but the task Yang Huan gave him was to do his best to cooperate with Bielsa.
"Martin Hunter believes that Bielsa is still in the groping period, and he communicates, explains and explains with the players every day, but it is still difficult for the players to understand his requirements, and it is difficult to implement them on the court, and many things are also changing day by day. , because Bielsa is also thinking about it and adapting to the characteristics of English football."
After listening to Yang Huan, he nodded, Bielsa had always had a bad start.
If I remember correctly, Bielsa didn't start well in coaching Chile. He was killed 0-2 by Argentina, and then lost 0-3 at home to Brazil and away to Ecuador.
It's just that everyone selectively ignored Bielsa's previous attempts and failures because of the success of the World Cup in South Africa.
It is not difficult to understand why the Chilean Football Association contacted Pellegrini privately when Bielsa sent out assistant coach Berizzo, worried that he would get out of control in the World Cup.
Even in Yang Huan's previous life, Bielsa coached Athletic Bilbao, and the start was quite bad, but it turned out that he succeeded!
Yang Huan is not the kind of person who knows nothing about football. He knows very well that the more rigorous and advanced tactical thinking, the more time he needs to practice, so he decided to give Bielsa more time.
"Let's go, let's go to the locker room!" Yang Huan waved his hand.
"To the locker room?" Nicola Cotes was surprised.
Not only him, including Zhang Ning, including Sun Yue and Keish Harris were all shocked.
Does this young master plan to fire the world famous coach after one game?
My goodness, in his usual fashion, it's quite possible.
The scene of Yang Huan leading the crowd away from the podium was also filmed by reporters with ulterior motives. From the shooting point of view, Yang Huan looked a little angry, which can be interpreted as Yang Huan's dissatisfaction with the result of the game.
Wouldn't it be possible to hype up Bielsa's dismissal tomorrow?
"Master Huan, Master Huan."
When Yang Huan walked down the stairs and came to the passage outside the locker room, Nicola Cortez hurried forward.
"What?" Yang Huan was stopped by him, a little strange.
"Master Huan, just one game can't explain anything. There is no need to doubt Bielsa's coaching level. I believe this game is just an accident. Should we give him more time?"
Yang Huan does have reasons to be unhappy. Although Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not announced it yet, and Neymar's transfer is still under discussion, even with the current Southampton lineup, Yang Huan has spent nearly 2,000. 10,000 euros, which is second to none in the entire League One.
Even in the Premier League, this kind of signings can be ranked in the middle.
The investment was so big, but it failed to get a good start, and the opponent was still Plymouth with poor strength.
Yang Huan should really be unhappy.
But if Bielsa is fired now, is it too anxious?
"Yeah, Young Master Huan, we should be patient. The city of Rome was not built in a day." Zhang Ning also advised.
After spending so much money and wasting so much energy, it is a pity to fire Bielsa.
"Master Huan, the league has already started, at least give him a few more chances." Sun Yue is also persuading.
Cash Harris also nodded in agreement, "It is undoubtedly the worst decision to fire Bielsa now."
Yang Huan frowned and looked at the group of people in front of him. Some were his right-hand man, some were trading partners, but they had a good relationship, but now they all felt that they were going to fire Bielsa.
"It seems that the impression I usually left on you is completely different from the impression I have in my own mind. It's really a failure!" Yang Huan shook his head and laughed.
"Who told you that I wanted to fire Bielsa?"
"Isn't it?" Nicola Cortez lost his voice.
Zhang Ning, Sun Yue and Keish Harris were also surprised, and they were as skeptical as Nicola Cortes.
"Of course not!" Yang Huan pointed at himself, "Do you all think that I'm like the kind of person who fires a world famous coach because of a draw? Even if I'm a football layman, at least I know clearly, You should be patient."
After speaking, Yang Huan stopped looking at these guys who didn't understand him at all, and waved his hand, "Go away, don't get in the way."
Nicola Cortes quickly stepped aside. He and Zhang Ning and others knew that they had misunderstood Yang Huan.
One by one, they all followed behind Yang Huan until they reached the door of the locker room.
"We just lost a game we have to win!"
Standing outside the locker room, Yang Huan heard Bielsa's voice from inside.
There was no loudness similar to Ferguson's hair dryer as outsiders imagined, and there was no anger with exposed veins.
Bielsa's voice was very light, but every word was bitten very clearly, making people feel the weight.
After speaking, Bielsa opened the door of the locker room.
At this time, everyone in the locker room, including the players and the coaching staff, saw Yang Huan standing outside the locker room door, and behind him was the team's core management.
This suddenly shocked everyone in the locker room.
Could it be that the home court was tied and the boss was not happy?
Will one of the underperforming players be sold?
Or to fire the team's head coach?
Or does he want to give everyone a little color to see?
Everyone looked at Yang Huan uneasy in their hearts, and even Bielsa's eyes were full of surprise when he saw Yang Huan.
Who knew that Yang Huan laughed, since the door was open, he walked into the locker room.
"I'm here to tell everyone that I'm very satisfied with your performance. I like the style of football you show on the pitch, as well as your fighting spirit to attack to the end."
Yang Huan's words made everyone put down a heart that was hanging in the air.
"It's a pity that I didn't get three points in this game, but this is the first game, I can totally understand it, and I also believe that everyone can perform better and better."
"In order to celebrate our first league point of the new season, I will treat you tonight, see you at Wangjiang Pavilion!"
Yang Huan's words made the players in the locker room laugh. At this moment, they really believed that the boss was not angry, because an angry boss would not invite anyone to dinner.
Yang Huan winked at Bielsa and motioned to chat outside.
The two walked out of the locker room one after the other, while Nicola Cortes said a few words of encouragement and support on behalf of the team.
Yang Huan and Bielsa walked to the entrance of the player tunnel. At this time, there were already staff cleaning up debris and turf on the court, while the fans in the stands were leaving one after another.
Although the result of the game disappointed them a little, they also saw a welcome change in the team.
Bielsa is a very delicate person, usually such people are very sensitive, so following Yang Huan, he has been guessing what Yang Huan wants to say.
Most likely, it should be to put some pressure on me!
To Bielsa's surprise, when the two walked to the entrance of the player's passage, Yang Huan stopped, turned his head, looked at Bielsa, smiled and asked something that Bielsa did not expect.
"Tell me, who else do you want?"
