I brush achievements in football

During the trip to Doha, Southampton's harvest can be said to be full.

Now the number of bonuses in the Club World Cup is already quite high. For a team like Southampton, they can get a bonus of 600 million euros for two games, but for Southampton now, This amount of money is nothing. Basically, after the bonus is obtained, Ji Ya distributes it to the whole team. No matter the main substitute or the members of the coaching staff, everyone will share it equally. Basically, each person can get around 20 Euros. It's not a small amount of money either.

This is also Southampton's tradition in the Club World Cup.

After a day's rest in Doha, the Southampton team returned to the UK. The next round of the league is the No.26 round on the 19th. It is difficult to recover in a few days, so this round of the Southampton league game is also postponed until next year. Southampton players can participate in the No.22 round on the 28th.

The matches against Aston Villa in the 19th round and against Chelsea in the No.[-] round were both postponed.

Ji Ya first led the team for two days of restorative training, and then gave the players a day off at Christmas, and regrouped on the 26th to prepare for the No.20 round of the league.

Round 28 on the 21th, round 22 on January 20 next year, the third round of the FA Cup on January 18th, the first round of the League Cup semi-final on January [-]th, the third round of No.[-] on January [-]th, and the next one If Southampton and Aston Villa do not play the FA Cup rematch in the middle of the week, the No.[-] round will be played...

In short, with Southampton still able to continue to advance in the League Cup and the FA Cup, Southampton's game rhythm for the next period of time will be all three or four days a game, without a chance to breathe.

This is a test for Southampton. In the past few seasons, Southampton has basically given up cup games, especially the League Cup, so although the two make-up games are a bit of pressure on them, they will not be too big. However, it is different now. They cannot easily give up the League Cup, so they may not have much time to rest until the Champions League knockout round begins.

For such a result, Southampton's players are already mentally prepared, and many substitutes didn't play much last season, and they will be happier if they have more opportunities to play this season.

And with enough rotations, Southampton's performance on the field is also guaranteed. Under such circumstances, they are full of expectations for this season's games.

And next, what they are more concerned about is the draw for the knockout round of the Champions Cup.

In this Champions League group stage, Southampton won the first place, and there are many strong teams in the No.2 position.

For example, Real Madrid, when they were assigned to a group with Paris, fell to the second place in the group, Atletico Madrid was suppressed by Juventus, Naples was suppressed by Liverpool, Dortmund was suppressed by Barcelona, ​​​​and Barron West Asia overwhelms Chelsea...but it is impossible for Southampton and Chelsea to be together, and the league teams in the quarter-finals must be avoided.

"What's so interesting about this draw, we will definitely touch Real Madrid." Southampton fans said before the draw ceremony began.

The routine has been popular since ancient times. Although everyone can already guess the UEFA routine, they still did it without hesitation...

At the scene of the lottery ceremony, the guests who drew the lottery drew Real Madrid for Southampton the first time.

There was laughter at the scene, and Ji Ya smiled and shook hands with Zidane - last season Lopetegui's performance in leading the team was a mess, Real Madrid had to invite Zidane back again, but last season his firefighting performance was not good. How about it, and Hazard and Jovic, who were introduced at a high price this summer, did not perform well, which also increased the pressure on Zidane a lot.

In the case of entanglement between the league and Barcelona, ​​it is not a good sign for Real Madrid to meet Southampton so early in the Champions League.

However, since UEFA has already arranged this way, Zidane can only wait for the two rounds of the match to see if he can fight Southampton.

Although the current Real Madrid is no longer the Real Madrid that has been entangled with Southampton in those years. Ronaldo left, Bale is bad, and only Benzema is left in the BBC. When Puton meets, he can only fight to the end.

But it can’t be blamed for UEFA’s lack of imagination. Among these No.2s, Real Madrid’s strength is the closest to Southampton’s. Although Atletico Madrid is difficult to deal with, they have never had a temper against Southampton. Dortmund is also the same. In the same way, encountering Southampton is basically equivalent to delivering food, and other teams are even more unrealistic, so it seems that only Real Madrid still hopes to cause some trouble to Southampton.

"What do I think about Real Madrid? It's nothing to watch. We've played against Real Madrid too many times over the years. They're very good, but we're not bad, so it's just a fight to see who has better luck in the game. "

During the interview, Ji Ya said with a smile, but it is obvious that everyone knows that under such circumstances, Southampton's advantage against Real Madrid is actually quite large. If they are in the quarter-finals Qiang meets Real Madrid again. At that time, Real Madrid may perform even better.

After all, their Champions Cup DNA is real.

Southampton's attention now is basically in the league. In their participation in the Club World Cup, Liverpool won consecutive victories again. They defeated West Ham United and Leicester City successively, with 55 points. Leading the standings - 51 wins and 15 tie in 16 games, this result is already the best start in the history of the Premier League. Southampton started the season with 52 consecutive victories, and after the 55th round, they The score is also [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] points, but Southampton's highest score in the half is not this season, but a little earlier in the [-]-[-] season. They got [-] wins, [-] draw and [-] loss in the half of that season. , scored [-] points, but the exaggerated half of Liverpool's [-] points is still a full three points behind.

In this way, Liverpool has already led Southampton by a full [-] points. Although they played two more games, in the face of the terrifying gap of [-] points, these two extra games are nothing.

Such a points gap will bring more invisible pressure to Southampton.

But as long as Southampton can keep winning, it won't be a big problem.
