"Manchester City's fourth round of the League Cup against Southampton, judging from the starting lineup, the two sides intend to fight in the League Cup first, and then go to the league... Manchester City's starting lineup is goalkeeper Bravo, defender Walker, Garcia, Otamendi, Angelino, midfielder Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, forward Mahrez, Jesus, Aguero! Some young players are used, but the main force is still At least half of it! And Southampton's starting lineup is the same four three three, goalkeeper Martin, defender Peters, Jenkinson, Rudiger, De Ligt, midfielder De Bruyne, McAllister , Prouse, striker Du Yue, Alvarez, Sancho! This is also a mixed lineup, but for Southampton, the boundary between their main force and substitutes this season is not clear at all."

When the two sides played, many commentators became excited. Obviously, this League Cup will not be just a formality.

In the past, when Southampton encountered a strong team in the League Cup and the FA Cup, with the strength of their substitute lineup, they often came to a glorious defeat, and sometimes broke out to eliminate the strong team when they were in good condition. The main force is obviously different from previous years.

What will happen when Southampton starts a cup match with their opponents?

This is one thing that a lot of people are starting to look forward to.

The Manchester City fans at the Etihad City Stadium have been shouting loudly since the beginning of the game. In recent years, they and Southampton have also formed a bridge. They had the opportunity to make more changes several times before but were suppressed by Southampton. , The process of winning the championship last season was also very thrilling. Not only were they chased by Liverpool, but they were also chased by Southampton. They double-killed them in the game, so that they almost lost the league championship.

So when the situation in this league is not so good, they don't have a good face when they see Southampton.

From the beginning of the game, the players from both sides began to entangle in the midfield, and then kept looking for opportunities to score. The fight was evenly matched.

Although the two sides have a lot of substitutes, it is obvious that Manchester City's substitute players are also of a high level. In this regard, they played against Southampton, and the thickness of the benches on both sides was similar.

After 3 minutes of entanglement, Manchester City's central defender Garcia sent a long pass, and the ball flew accurately to the feet of Mahrez who was going forward. Mahrez began to break through with the ball. He forcibly got rid of Jenkinson's defense, and then broke into Shot from a small angle in the penalty area, the ball hit the side net.

"This kid's skills are really good, but unfortunately he's a bit independent." Ji Ya said to Benelli.

"The players from the core of the small team are like this, and they are prone to similar problems." Benali replied.

On the field, Southampton quickly launched a counterattack. After the pass from the midfielder, the ball was passed to the left. Jenkinson, who advanced and assisted, handed the ball to the center. Suddenly kicked a long shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Both sides had an attack at the beginning, which proved that this game will be the same as before, and it will be a protracted confrontation.

This kind of confrontation can easily make people feel physically and mentally exhausted. However, for the players of Southampton and Manchester City, they have long been accustomed to this kind of game rhythm and pressure.

If there is no such mental capacity, then they are not worthy of playing in Southampton and Manchester City.

After all, playing next to head coaches like Ji Ya and Guardiola, it’s not enough to not have the ability to withstand pressure, but they will also be very good so that the players don’t need to bear too much extra pressure.

The two sides entangled with each other until No.15 minutes. Manchester City took the lead in seizing a chance amidst the shouts of the home fans. In a breakthrough, they created a corner kick. Mahrez took a tactical corner kick, and seat B received the ball. Picking the ball into the penalty area, Otamendi took off from the back point, overwhelmed Peters and shook his head to attack the goal. The ball quickly flew into the back point of the goal!

After the goal, Otamendi and his teammates celebrated with high fives. Although he once played for Southampton, it is obvious that he is now a standard Manchester City player...

Southampton's players are certainly not to be outdone.

After facing each other for so long, Manchester City just seized a chance to set the ball, which made the Southampton players of course not care too much, it was just a ball, just chase it back.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack. Under the passing of the midfielder, Southampton's two full-backs also frequently advanced to assist. Although Jenkinson is more good at defending, but as long as he advances, the basic things Still can do well.

After receiving the ball from De Bruyne, he quickly split the side again and handed the ball to McAllister who was on the side. McAllister dribbled the ball diagonally. After approaching the penalty area, he returned the ball Passed to the restricted area.

Rodri, who was back on defense, raised his foot to interfere with the ball. The ball changed direction, but it still flew to the feet of Prouse who was going forward. Kicked the ball out!

The shot with his foot on the ground was quite beautiful. The opponent's defender was a step too late to block it, and he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the gate of Manchester City!

"Ward Prowse! A calm shot from inside the box to equalize for Southampton! I have to say it's a bit of a surprise that it was the unremarkable Prowse who scored at a time like this... "

After scoring the goal, Prouse began to celebrate happily. He played less games last season, and started to play a little more this season. Such a goal is the best reward for his hard training.

As Southampton's youth training and native, his requirements in Southampton are actually not high, and it is enough to play games from time to time...

The game returned to the starting line at No. 20 minutes. Both the players and the fans of both sides are used to such a situation, so the fans of Manchester City just sighed, and then continued to shout loudly for their victory. The team cheers.

"Do you think we've gotten used to playing against Manchester City, no matter what, our performance won't be too bad, but it won't be particularly good either." Ji Ya covered his mouth and said to Benelli.

"It's like this after playing too much, and our tactics are indeed a bit adaptable. Under such circumstances, it is easy to numb the players, just play the game normally." Benelli said after thinking about it.

"Yes, but no matter what, under such circumstances, we have more players who can stand out." Ji Ya said with some pride.
