Chapter 328 Already a Strong Team!

"The goal was scored! Southampton expanded the score again at the beginning of the second half! With two goals in hand, they have basically destroyed the opponent's fighting spirit!"

"This game was actually not easy for Southampton. After the start, the referee's loose penalty scale made them extremely passive, and the opponent's frequent unpunishable fouls made them even more impatient. But then Southampton's response was amazing. It also made people see why this newly promoted team is still in the forefront of the league. Their on-the-spot response and tactical execution are really terrible!"

At this moment, Jewell on the sidelines was completely sluggish. No matter how optimistic he was at this point in the game, he would not feel that his team still had a chance to overthrow the opponent at home. Perhaps, if he could score a goal as soon as possible, there might still be hope for a point.

But even this goal is not so easy to achieve. When Southampton takes control of the game, it is too difficult for Wigan Athletic to create a threat, especially under Yunfei's ball possession policy, which takes a long time for the opponent to have a chance to touch the ball. Under such circumstances, the difficulty of a comeback can be imagined!

In the end, Southampton defeated Wigan Athletic with a score of 13-[-] and won their [-]th victory of the season!
After this round of competition, Southampton still ranks fifth in the league with 47 points, but the distance between him and the club in front of him has narrowed to one point, because Liverpool overturned in the last round, and Arsenal lost to Sheffield United in this round.

From the current point of view, Southampton is still capable of competing for the fourth this season. Not only is their performance good, but the opponent's overturning from time to time is also a very important reason!
However, there is a more important news in this round, that is, the top spot has once again been reversed, and Chelsea has capsized again in the gutter, with a two-to-two draw with Fulham, allowing them to give up the top spot in the league once again.

However, Manchester United actually had a hard time this round. They had a goal battle with Reading, and finally defeated their opponents [-]-[-] with difficulty. Reading showed the terrifying strength of this season's newly promoted.Of course, Sheffield United is the exception, but even Sheffield United are now moving away from the relegation zone, and they overturned Arsenal in this round. Such a victory really makes them not to be underestimated.

In the second half of the league, every game will become extremely critical, and Southampton's opponent in the next round is Everton, who is currently ranked ninth in the league. This is not an easy opponent to deal with!
The first round of the league after the start of this season was a direct confrontation between Southampton and Everton. That game was at the opponent's home court. Southampton drew their opponents. Although they didn't get a good start, it proved their ability.
Coming to St. Mary's Stadium this time, Everton should think about how to have a chance to beat this Southampton team!
"I really didn't expect that the newly promoted team who was still adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League would play so well this season, which is unexpected!"

Everton coach Moyes looked at the standings next to the table and said with emotion.For him, the ranking of the opponent is on the one hand, on the other hand, these talented players are really mouth-watering. For the current traditional strong teams in the Premier League, these Southampton players are all treasures.

However, Southampton's current league ranking is a big problem. If Southampton finally gets the qualifications for the Europa League or even the Champions League, it will be really difficult to recruit these players at that time.

"Let me see how much they have improved now compared to before!"

The game against Everton was a bit uneventful. Moyes' formation was very stable. Based on defense, they arranged a classic 4-4-2 formation. They played very conservatively in the away game. Southampton was attacking with all their strength, but it was still the same problem as before. The goalkeeper bravely resolved it, but was wasted by his own players. In the end, the two teams shook hands and made a draw. Southampton could only accept the result of the draw at their home court.

In fact, neither Redknapp nor Yunfei thought that their opponents would actually hold on here for the entire game. Everton is also a strong player in the league. Their performance over the years has been very stable, and they have always been ranked in the upper reaches of the league. However, this is just such a team that just held on for the entire game. Judging from the results after the game, the opponent's goal is very clear, and that is to get this point.

After the game, Moyes was also criticized by many media, thinking that his tactics were too conservative, but Moyes was unmoved.Now Southampton is in such a good state, and even if he scores a goal, he is not sure that he can keep the score, so it is not bad to simply get a point. This is Moyes’ true thinking. He really knows Southampton very well.
Maybe Redknapp himself didn't have such a clear awareness, but Moyes saw it clearly.

After this depressing game, they came to Charlton's home court to face Charlton, who is currently ranked last in the league.

There was no suspense in this game. Charlton wanted to emulate Everton’s tactics against Southampton in the previous game, and wanted to hold a point at home. At first, this did create some troubles for Southampton, but as the game progressed, Charlton’s weak defense still exposed problems. Several consecutive mistakes were easily caught by Southampton, followed by consecutive goals. Dayton easily defeated the opponent [-] to [-]!
