The game against Monterrey went well.

Although Monterrey is also one of the best teams in Central and North America, their situation is the same as that of South American teams. The best players in America play in Europe, and the only ones who will stay in America are the second-rate players. It is the Mexican national team, and the best thing is to play in Europe, that is, the number is a little smaller.

Under such circumstances, although Monterrey's players are also very good, they played quite dull when their tactics were restrained.

No matter how they pass the attack after completing the control of the midfield, they will eventually face a wall-like defense. He is good at defense, and he can also protect the penalty area well when he concentrates on recycling.

In addition, the three players in the midfield are also players who are good at running and protecting the penalty area. They can always show excellent performance in defense.

If it is a stronger offense, they may still have some problems, but under such circumstances, Monterrey's players are not particularly top-notch in offense, so they are completely at ease.

When the offense hit a wall, their defense began to be continuously shattered by Southampton's counterattacks.

Southampton's frontcourt speed is not very fast, but the combination is quite good, a Vinicius who has excellent skills and can break through with the ball, an experienced Vardy who can serve as a fulcrum and play the ball, plus a wide range Alvarez, who can run and respond to forward passes, is also quite brilliant in counterattacks with such a combination.

So in the No. 12 minute of the game, Southampton relied on a beautiful counterattack and scored the first goal!

After Rudiger steals the ball in the backcourt, he takes the ball forward and passes it to Prouse in front. When the ball was played, Vinicius was on the left, Vardy was in the middle, and McAllister quickly ran up to meet him at the back. Although there were only a few people, they seemed to be well-organized.

After receiving the ball, Alvarez sent a beautiful over-the-head ball while turning around. The ball flew into the opponent's half. Vinicius started to sprint forward on the left, and then received the ball from Alvarez. .

The ball quickly moved forward, and Vinicius dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. When the opposing defender desperately returned to the defense, Vardy also ran to the middle to prepare to respond, which also attracted many defensive players.

However, Vinicius directly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle to the top of the penalty area. McAllister, who advanced in that position, received the ball, took a step forward and shot decisively!

The ball flew into the dead corner of the goal quickly, and Southampton opened the scoring!

"Beautiful counter-attack! Look at their movement! Although it was McAllister who scored the goal, Southampton's three forwards played a huge role! This sharp counter-attack reminds me of some Serie A teams... It seems that Ji Ya is not only able to command the team to play offense."

A commentator said with a smile, this is of course a joke. It is no secret that Ji Ya can play both offense and defense. Southampton has flexibly used various tactics in many games, and it is the glory of Southampton these years. , How could they only play offense?

However, for some people with stereotypes, the thinking of "Southampton's offense is the sharpest, and their defense is average" can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

That's what's happening in Monterrey right now.

After being counterattacked by Southampton and scored a goal, they continued to attack. Firstly, they are best at this. Secondly, they also feel that Southampton's defense is not very good. They can still create a lot of opportunities if they go all out to attack.

It is a pity that "the defense is weakened in offensive tactics" and "the defense is not very good" are completely two concepts.

So after they stormed for more than 20 minutes, Southampton once again scored through a counterattack. This time it was Vardy who scored the goal. After receiving a breakthrough from Alvarez, he calmly pushed and scored. Southampton Extend your lead.

After leading by two goals, Southampton began to play more easily. In the second half of the game, they began to gradually turn to control the midfielder, control the ball at their feet, and keep their side from being attacked. Overwhelm the opponent's defense.

Under such circumstances, Southampton's victory is naturally a matter of course.

Monterrey miserably failed to cause any ripples from the beginning to the end of the game. Basically all the rhythm was mastered by Southampton. What opportunity came out, after Southampton took the initiative in the second half, they even had no chance.

Peters helped Vinicius score again with a forward assist in the second half. Southampton beat their opponents with three goals and reached the Club World Cup final for six consecutive years.

After the game, the Southampton players began to celebrate, and the Qatar fans in the stands were also very happy. They finally witnessed Southampton's performance. Even the substitute lineup looked so good, so they played in the main lineup Under such circumstances, what level can they play?

Thinking of this, almost all local Qatari fans are looking forward to it.

"Our players performed well in this game. They executed my tactics very well and controlled the situation very well. We have a group of very good players, whether it is the first team or the second team."

Of course, Ji Ya said this to cheer up the whole club, because just three hours before the start of the game, Southampton's second team also played in the League Cup. , Although they are all players from the second team, they also performed well on the field. They defeated their opponents with a score of [-] to [-] in the away game and helped Southampton enter the semi-finals of the League Cup!

Although the opponent is only the second team, it is indeed a joy to beat a professional team as the second team.

Southampton's second team actually doesn't have outstanding players. At least Ji Ya has tested it a few times. The highest achievement point required for the exchange of personal training plans among them is more than 60, which shows that they are just ordinary players. Too much potential. Although Southampton has invested a lot in youth training, players with truly outstanding talents are still relatively rare.

The first team and the second team triumphed at the same time, which made Southampton once again show off in the world.
