I brush achievements in football

January [-], Dream Theater.

Manchester United fans are looking forward to seeing a victory in this game. After all, only Manchester United and Southampton are left in the top four of the League Cup. If Southampton can be eliminated, then they may win the League Cup Sex will naturally be much larger.

Moreover, Southampton in the League Cup and FA Cup is relatively easy to beat.

Solskjaer thinks so too, but he is also a bit stretched. The high-priced central defender Maguire is absent due to injury. After joining this season, he has performed quite well, making up for the gap in Manchester United's defense.

So he sent a four-two-three-one lineup, goalkeeper De Gea, the two full-backs are Wan Bissaka bought from Crystal Palace at a high price and the young player Brandon Williams promoted from the youth team, and the central defender is Jones and Lindelof, these two also happen to be a local youth training promotion, a high-priced signing, the midfielder is Fred and Pereira, and the two wings are Daniel James and Rashford Germany, Lingard served as the attacking midfielder, and the popular fried chicken Greenwood promoted from the youth team served as the starting striker.

This is actually the reason why Solskjaer's current position is very stable. He is willing to use young players, such as Greenwood and Brandon. These are all players promoted from the youth team. Under such circumstances, even if the results fluctuate, the fans are actually quite satisfied. After all, they are willing to use young players, or young players from local youth training, so it is easy for fans to see hope.

However, in Ji Ya's view, although this approach is understandable, it also requires good vision and luck. Manchester United's youth training has always been excellent. Lingard and Rashford are both excellent youths. Training products, but now Manchester United has too few top players who can hold the field, so it may not be a good thing to let so many young players take the lead.

When Ferguson was in the 92 generation, when they played, Manchester United still had top players like Pallister, Keane and Cantona, and all of them were captain-level domineering players. Under the leadership of Andy, Beckham and others can gradually grow up.

Southampton also uses a lot of young players, but Ji Ya will not give up the use of top players.

A professional team is a very complicated matter. It needs excellent players to support the formation in order for young players to perform better.

When Du Yue played the main force in Southampton, if it weren't for a group of outstanding players around him, he might not have been able to grow up gradually.

And after he grew up, Ji Ya used young players like Sancho Vinicius Valverde on the court. This is a good cycle.

It is really hard to say how far Solskjaer can achieve.

Ji Ya also rotated a lot in this game, but the defense line maintained the main configuration. The midfielder is De Bruyne with Phillips and McAllister, and the forward is Du Yue with Vinicius. Si and Alvarez, it is obvious that such a lineup still has a very strong standard.

And it seems that Southampton has a high starting content, but in fact, if the average age of the starters is counted, Southampton is a little younger than Manchester United.

In terms of Youth Storm, it is really difficult for other teams to compare with Southampton.

"Looking at the starting lineup, they want to defend and counterattack." Benelli said to Du Yue.

"Normal, we just continue to attack, we're really not too afraid of defensive counterattacks." Ji Ya laughed.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Although Manchester United, which is at home, is mainly defensive and counterattack, it does not mean that they will not attack.

Daniel James quickly started to dribble the ball on the right. This local winger worth only more than 1000 million pounds is one of the discoveries of Manchester United this season. He is not expensive and his salary is not high. Before Manchester United introduced him mainly as a winger Reserved as a substitute in the position, but he relied on his active running and tireless offensive style to secure Manchester United's main force. He had a brilliant performance at the beginning of the season, and now he has repeatedly performed very well.

Seeing that Chilwell was going to come up to defend himself, James did not continue to dribble forward, but chose to pass the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Both Greenwood and Lingard were preparing to grab points in the penalty area. Dericht was the first to judge where the ball fell, and after flying to intercept it, he cleared the ball with a big foot.

"The defense is good." Ji Ya nodded.

For his rotation this season, if he wants to maintain good results, in addition to the two cores of Du Yue and De Bruyne as the background, the strengthening of defense is also very important. If the defense is unstable, the rotation will only bring about bad results. Stablize.

In addition to the initial stage, in the following time, Southampton's new central defender combination has formed a tacit understanding and has shown an extremely good state. The characteristics of Araujo and Dericht are relatively complementary, and soon began to change. Get better.

With this foundation, of course, you can show a better state.

Southampton quickly launched an attack, the ball was passed to the left, Vinicius started to break through after taking the ball, facing Wan Bissaka's defense, he swayed twice in a row, and after getting out of the gap, he raised his foot and made a pass .

Wan Bissaka made a tenacious defense. He made a shovel from the side and rear, and narrowly shoveled the ball passed by Vinicius out of the baseline!

"This guy is very tenacious in defense, but his offense is a bit weak." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

He has also observed Wan Bissaka, but he doesn't appreciate this kind of more partial full-back, and he is also worth a lot, so he didn't make a move.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, and Alvarez took the lead with a header from the far point, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

So far, Manchester United's defense has done a good job, which is also the basis of defensive counterattack - without a solid defense, there is no excellent counterattack.

Let's see how long Manchester United can last.

"They can protect the midfield and defend well on the side, but the partner of the central defender is always a weakness. I don't believe that they can persist in the face of our offense." Benelli said to Ji Ya .

"Yeah, especially our offense is not the kind of rush and attack. It is not a big problem for their two central defenders to confront each other head-on, but facing the occasional sneak attack in our possession, it is still a bit difficult for them to defend. Big one." Ji Ya replied with a smile.

For this, Southampton has enough confidence from top to bottom. When they control the midfield, their offense will continue to launch wave after wave. Forced impact.

This kind of defense is the most difficult to deal with.
