Chapter 894 Be content, man!
The game has not ended yet, but the singing of Saints fans has already been heard in Southampton's Glory Stadium.
They couldn't wait to start celebrating the team's victory in advance.
Along with the singing, you can vaguely hear many fans shouting, score one more!
The sound was loud and obvious, enough to embarrass the visiting team.
There was a small empty space in the corner of the stands, which was reserved for Chelsea fans. However, many Blues fans left early without waiting for the game to end.
Even though some fans still stayed, they hung a long blue banner on the corner stand, which read, Jose, please leave!
Such banners have been seen many times at Stamford Bridge, but this is the first time I have seen them away from home.
Blues fans are completely disappointed with Mourinho!
Chelsea's head coach, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, was sitting in the visiting team's coaching booth. It was hard to tell what his expression was. Perhaps he was indifferent, or extremely angry, but it was more likely that he was calm.
Having coached for so many years, what kind of storms has he not seen?
The game is being broadcast live on the stadium's large LCD screen, which also displays the real-time score of the game.
5:0!
The score is a bit shocking, but it is displayed so ruthlessly, which makes people sad.
This is the second time in Mourinho's career that he has conceded five goals in a single game. The last time was when he was coaching Real Madrid. In the derby of the century, he lost 0-5 away to the powerful Barcelona.
This was his second time and he had some experience, so he was much calmer than the first time.
He and his team had been fully prepared before the game that they would lose, but they did not expect to lose so badly and embarrassingly.
Southampton did not send out all their main players in this game because they had to travel back and forth to participate in the Club World Cup. In addition, the devilish schedule required them to play three Premier League games in just six days, so Bielsa made appropriate adjustments to the main lineup.
Players including Toni Kroos and the injured Suarez did not start, but Pogba, who started, and young striker Harry Kane performed just as well as the main players.
For example, Harry Kane, starting as a center forward, many people say that he looks like Ibrahimovic, but in fact he is not.
The England center forward can hold the ball and attack in the frontcourt, and can also provide the team with a wide range of running positions, giving Southampton's frontcourt more options. Moreover, he is in very good shape and can create threats almost every time he gets the ball.
It is precisely because of Harry Kane in the front that Hazard and Sturridge behind him can get more opportunities.
The first shot of the game was a powerful shot from Harry Kane in the penalty area. Although it failed to score a goal, it aroused Southampton's attacking spirit and dealt a blow to Chelsea.
The progress of the game has always been led by Southampton. Chelsea can only passively follow the pace and rhythm of the Saints, passively controlled by others, and step by step into the trap of the Saints.
Afterwards, Oscar passed the ball in the midfield, Harry Kane dribbled past the defender and shot powerfully from the edge of the penalty area, scoring the first goal for Southampton in the 18th minute.
After that, the Saints did not hold back at all and kept threatening Chelsea's goal, scoring goals in the 34th, 49th, 53rd and 78th minutes respectively.
Chelsea's defense was completely turned into a sieve under Southampton's fierce attack, as fragile as paper.
Harry Kane scored twice and provided an assist, Pogba made an assist and scored one goal, and Hazard and Sturridge each scored a goal.
But even though they were leading 5-0, listening to the shouts of the Saints fans at the scene, they were still calling on the team to continue scoring goals. Don't these guys who just like to watch the fun and not afraid of trouble know that this is very discouraging?
But that's true, given the bad relationship between Southampton and Chelsea, why would they worry about offending Chelsea?
Bielsa didn't know whether he heard the fans' calls or not, and he made a substitution very quickly.
He replaced left winger Hazard with French teenager Martial.
Martial has been a substitute player for Southampton this season, coming on as a substitute many times and performing well.
Seeing Bielsa replace Hazard, not only the Chelsea players on the field, but even the coaching staff on the sidelines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because Hazard is definitely the most threatening player for the Saints on the field.
It would be even better if Harry Kane was also replaced.
But Bielsa didn't seem to have this idea, and instead replaced Oscar with Prowse.
Both substitutions were made with young players, which was obviously an effort to cultivate young players. Therefore, in the stands of the Stadium of Glory, the voices of the Saints fans shouting for another goal became smaller.
But just when everyone thought that the game was about to end with a score of 5-0, Southampton intercepted the ball in the backcourt and Matic passed the ball to Prowse.
The Saints midfielder, who is known as the second Beckham, looked up and observed after receiving the ball, then made a long diagonal pass and transferred the ball to the left.
Martial moved quickly to where the ball landed and used his body to block Chelsea's right-back Ivanovic.
At this moment, Mourinho, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This kid looks skinny, but I didn't expect him to be good at power confrontation."
The ball fell, Martial saw the opportunity, raised his foot and hooked the ball behind Ivanovic, then he was like a loach, brushing against Ivanovic's body, turned around flexibly and started suddenly.
Just at this moment, the Saints fans in the stands cheered.
Isn’t this stop of the ball amazing?
Also, look at this young French player. He is over 1.8 meters tall, but his starting speed is not slow at all. The old Ivanovic is as slow as a snail at this moment. He just turned around and was completely left behind.
After Martial caught up with the ball, he was already on the left side of the penalty area.
Central defender Terry and midfielder Ramires have both retreated to their positions, one in the penalty area and the other at the front of the penalty area, forming an unbreakable wall, determined to keep Martial out of the penalty area.
But what was surprising was that Martial had no intention of stopping at all. He rushed into the middle of two defensive players without slowing down, dribbling the ball. He controlled the ball skillfully with his feet and used his body to create a gap between the two defensive players.
He was seen swinging left and right like a pendulum, with an indescribable Ronaldo vibe, and Terry was directly shaken by him.
After dribbling past Terry, Martial dribbled the ball towards the baseline.
Goalkeeper Cech quickly moved to the left side of the goal, blocking Martial's shooting angle.
But after the French youngster dribbled the ball close to Cech, he suddenly made a low pass, and the ball passed from Cech's side and came to the front of the small penalty area.
Harry Kane had been holding a grudge for a long time and hoped to perform a hat trick in the game, so he chased Martial all the way into the penalty area. When he saw the opportunity, he immediately rushed to the front of the goal.
The ball arrived and Harry Kane easily pushed the ball into the goal.
It was not until this time that the whole audience burst into extremely warm cheers.
Countless fans rushed up from the stands, shouting loudly.
After seeing Bielsa replace Hazard with Martial and Oscar with Prowse, the fans no longer had any hope for the sixth goal. But who could have thought that it was these two young players who had just come on as substitutes who directed the team's sixth goal, and it was such a wonderful goal.
"James Ward-Prowse, a young player who just turned 20, let us remember this name, he is our Beckham, the pass he just made was so accurate and beautiful!"
"There is also the French teenager Anthony Martial who has performed well this season. He is even younger, just 19 years old, but he has performed amazingly!"
The stadium’s huge LCD screen was replaying a slow-motion clip of Martial teasing Ivanovic.
"Look at how flexible our Martial is. In front of him, Ivanovic is like a wooden stake. He can easily get around him. And Terry, he was completely fooled."
"Pendulum-style passing, I wonder if everyone thinks of Ronaldo at this moment?"
"Whether you feel it or not, I personally feel that he is possessed by Ronaldo's soul at this moment."
"Finally, our biggest discovery this season is local center forward Harry Kane. His hat trick in this game puts him in the top five of the Premier League scorer list this season. More importantly, most of these goals were scored as substitutes, which is quite rare."
Everyone in the Saints rushed up and surrounded Harry Kane, the scorer, to celebrate.
The English center forward was holding a ball tightly in his arms.
This was the first time in his career that he scored a hat trick in an official match, so he wanted to treasure this ball that had special meaning to him.
"England coach Hodgson was sitting in the stands during this game. I wonder if he saw Harry Kane's wonderful performance. If so, should he bring our Saints gem to the national team?"
"And Prowse, our Beckham, he should also win more appreciation and recognition."
The live TV camera even turned specifically to the chairman's stand, where England head coach Hodgson was seen sitting. However, there was no frontal shot because Hodgson was talking to Young Master Huan through several people.
"Master Huan should be saying that you should take Harry Kane away. He is the best local scorer in the Premier League this season, even better than Rooney."
“But Hodgson should be saying that, but he failed to play as a starter!”
"Master Huan should answer, main force? Are you kidding? Your current main center forward Rooney, if he comes to our Saints, I'm afraid he won't even get a chance to play. You still want more? Be content, buddy!"
The commentator at the Glory Stadium's commentary immediately made countless people at the scene burst into laughter.
Hodgson in the stands was also a little embarrassed, but he was used to it.
In their words, this is typical British humor.
However, Saints fans guessed wrong.
It was not that Young Master Huan took the initiative to recommend Harry Kane to Hodgson, but Hodgson asked Young Master Huan about Harry Kane's situation and whether he should be selected for the national team.
Master Huan then asked Hodgson about his positioning of Harry Kane.
When he learned that Harry Kane was just joining the national team to make up the numbers, Master Huan answered directly, "You should let Harry Kane take the lead, because he will definitely reward you."
"Believe me, he is the kind of player you can trust and he will be one of the best scorers in England in the next decade."
Harry Kane and Sturridge, together with Ravel Morrison, will be the best attacking combination for the England national team in the future!
However, at Southampton, they can only serve as substitutes.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who made the saints so willful?
