I brush achievements in football

After two days of rest, Southampton ushered in the No. 20 round of the game against Crystal Palace at home.

As a team currently ranked mid-range, Crystal Palace consciously sent a four-five-one lineup on the field, but Zaha, the ball king, was on the left wing, and Ayew also showed their ambitions by rushing forward. As long as the two of them are there, it is relatively easy to get some good opportunities through counterattacks.

With the strength of Crystal Palace, it is almost impossible to kill Southampton in a frontal battle. However, it is not impossible to attack Southampton through a defensive counterattack.

"They want to defend and counterattack, so let's not give them too many opportunities to counterattack, control the midfield, and then kill them." Ji Ya said to the players.

There is a fine-tuning of Ji Ya's starting lineup in this game. Rudiger starts as a right back. His task is to mark Zaha on the spot. He doesn't need to worry too much about offense. Just keep a close eye on Zaha. Zaha is the key to Crystal Palace's counterattack. At the transfer station, without his ball and breakthrough, Crystal Palace's counterattack can only be completed with a long pass, but it is indeed too difficult to think about the heads of Southampton's two tall central defenders.

In midfield, Phillips, De Bruyne and Valverde partnered in the middle. Forward Du Yue was assisted by B Fei and Sancho. Southampton's left attack was basically handed over to left back Chilway Er, the right is Sancho.

Although such a lineup seems to be a bit lacking in offensive strength, in fact, when the midfield controls the scene, they are enough to find many opportunities.

Crystal Palace's running in the midfield was completely suppressed by Southampton's possession of the ball, and it was difficult to push back if they wanted to counterattack.

So they can only be suppressed into the penalty area by Southampton step by step, and the next step is to see who can grasp the opportunity.

Du Yue's goals and continuity have been greatly improved this season, especially as his playing opportunities have increased a lot. Now he has scored 29 goals in [-] games in the league, and only played [-] times in the Champions League. He scored five goals, plus he also scored seven goals in various cup competitions. After half a season, his goals have reached [-], which is already an extremely scary number.

The most frightening thing is that his form doesn't seem to be at its peak yet, because his previous games were very rhythmic, and he scored one or two and then stopped. But in the Club World Cup final, once he got serious, he would Had a hat trick.

This kind of explosive scoring ability was possessed when he debuted, but later in order to increase the continuity of the game, he controlled his own explosive power, and now his endurance ability is quite good, and he is becoming more and more mature , Under such circumstances, when he starts to have the ability to continue scoring and also has the ability to score explosively, can he create the kind of scoring ability comparable to Messi and Ronaldo back then?

This point is really hard to say.

At least Ji Ya and Du Yue didn't mention this kind of thing. However, with Du Yue's current momentum and state, it's normal for him to explode his scoring ability.

Du Yue will soon be 23 years old. This age is actually the best age for a player, even better than the 26-year-old when he is playing, and he may perform well.

Generally, players at 26 or 23 are at their peak performance, which is generally related to their later fame. After all, they have to be in their twenties if they want to make their mark. It will take several years to slowly go to a strong team and have a core position. , and Du Yue became famous long ago, and he started playing football in Southampton early. After five or six years of accumulation, at the age of [-], he has fully accumulated experience, and at the same time his body is completely mature. There is no running-in situation, and others have recognized his core position... Under such circumstances, if it is better to explode, when will we wait?

It was about this age when Ronaldo and Messi really started to dominate the world!

Ronaldo won the World Footballer for the first time in 08, and he happened to be 23 years old.

Messi won the World Footballer for the first time in 09, and he was also 22 years old and almost 23 years old.

And Du Yue is now close to 23 years old.

He has been selected for the final three of the World Footballer of the Year twice before, but it is a pity that they are one step away. After all, Ronaldo and Messi have overwhelmed him one after another. But this season, Ronaldo's performance began to decline, and Messi did not make it. This season was so good, under such circumstances, if he can usher in a breakthrough this year, and there is no World Series this year, then it is almost possible for him to win the World Footballer!

For this goal, Southampton has been silently preparing for a long time.

Good personal honors, coupled with the outstanding results of the club, coupled with the performance of the national team, the combination of these three is the key to individual awards.

Under the guard of the Crystal Palace, Du Yue still seized an opportunity!

In the 27th minute of the game, Rudiger snatched the ball from Zaha's feet on the wing, and then passed the ball to Sancho in front. , Du Yue, who went forward, unloaded the ball and shot decisively before the opponent's defender came to defend!

The ball flew to the dead corner of the goal. The goalkeeper of Crystal Palace tried his best to save it, but he was still one step away!

"The goal is scored! Du Yue opened the scoring!"

Amid the narrator's shouts, Du Yue waved his fist, then jumped into the air.

This is his last goal in 2019.

And this goal will soon kick off the prelude to his legend.

After taking the lead, Southampton continued to control the midfield without giving the opponent a chance.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Chilwell made an assist from the left and then passed the ball to Phillips. Phillips made a direct pass to B Fei in front of him again. B Fei turned around and passed it to Du Yue. Time went straight to the penalty area, the ball fell to B Fei's feet, B Fei took a shot, and the ball hit the net again.

And 10 minutes later, De Bruyne took a corner kick, and De Ligt, who went forward to assist, scored with a header. Southampton locked the score at [-]-[-].

Three to zero, Southampton defeated Crystal Palace in the No.20 round, which also marked a successful end to their 2019.

Although they lost the league championship this year, they still showed a very good state in other competitions and achieved a lot of results.

Three days later, on January 2020st, their [-] will come, and Southampton's new journey is about to begin!
