I brush achievements in football

After returning from Bayer with a high reputation, everyone knows that Southampton entered the quarter-finals of the Europa League, breaking the record of the second-tier team in the top [-] in the Europa League created by Aachen at that time. It's a matter of time.

"Ah, will there be achievement point rewards for every step forward? That's normal. After all, every step forward is a new record, and it's a world-level record. The rewards shouldn't be too little, right? .” Ji Ya thought cheerfully in his heart.

Defeating Leverkusen in the away game, Southampton is in good condition. In the midweek game, although they rotated a lot of players, they still beat Burnley in the away game. Warkusen!

In the second round of the game, they won without bloodshed.

At home, Southampton played quite safely. They kept entangled with each other in the midfield to lure the opponent to attack-and Leverkusen also had to attack. The two-to-three loss at home made them a one-to-one away game. Zero can't advance, at least two goals must be won.

Through two sharp counterattacks, Lambert and Chamberlain each scored a goal in the game for Southampton. Although Vidal grabbed a shot in the penalty area to recover a point, it still could not save the fate of Leverkusen being eliminated. .

With [-] to [-] in two rounds, Southampton defeated Leverkusen and entered the quarter-finals of the Europa League with their heads high, breaking the record created by Aachen for the second-tier team to go the farthest in European competitions!

"Hey, it's only [-] achievement points, it's too stingy." Ji Ya complained, and then focused on the next Europa League match.

But at this time, the English media was already in an uproar - because in the knockout round of the Europa League, although Southampton defeated Leverkusen, the other two Premier League teams fell into the sand at the same time. Plus [-]-[-] defeat, while Manchester City lost [-]-[-] to Dynamo Kiev in two rounds...

In a blink of an eye, the only ones who can continue to play in the Europa League are Southampton, the Championship team!

Although there are still three Premier League teams, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea, in the Champions League, there is no team in the Europa League. This undoubtedly makes the Premier League, which wants to hit the first league, feel very uncomfortable.

After all, La Liga is too competitive, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in the Champions League, and Villarreal is still in the Europa League—but this time the four major leagues did not perform well in the Europa League. The army has been wiped out.England also has only one seedling left in La Liga. Of the remaining six teams, Portuguese Super League has three, Benfica, Porto, Braga, Eindhoven in Eredivisie, CSKA Moscow in Russian Super League, and Kiev in Ukraine. Dynamo made up the rest of the team.

And Southampton's opponent happens to be Villarreal!

"Our luck is too bad. Since the group stage, we have never encountered a weak team."

Many Southampton fans expressed their dissatisfaction. In their view, this is UEFA deliberately embarrassing them!

But yes, for a new team, all the strong teams encountered along the way, if it is all a coincidence, no one really believes it.

Everyone is an adult, who is so naive.

But it is precisely because they always encounter strong teams that Southampton players have a better channel to show themselves.

It is said that many Southampton players are under the close attention of other teams, and the England national team is also here to join in the fun. Capello said that it is time for the England national team to be replaced, and Southampton has a group of outstanding local players , although they have not passed the test of the Premier League, their performance in the Europa League has proved their potential...

So on the next FIFA match day, Capello selected four players from Southampton to enter the England national team. Go, it is not uncommon for low-level team players to be selected for the national team, but it is still a bit exaggerated to be selected for four in one go.

Ricky Lambert, Adam Lallana, Alex Chamberlain, Nathaniel Klein.

The oldest among them is Lambert, who is already 28 years old, Lallana is more than 22 years old, Chamberlain is just over 17 years old, and Klein is only in his early 19s.

There is no doubt that they are all fresh blood. Chamberlain and Klein have been selected for the England youth team. Lallana and Lambert have not participated in youth teams at all levels. They are not considered to be gangsters in the England national team .

The locals in Southampton were very happy, and Le Tisser personally saw them off. After all, after Le Tisser, it would be very difficult for Southampton to produce a local international, let alone four in one go.

Although they played very few games in the national team, they only came off the bench for a few 10 minutes, but at any rate they broke the embarrassing record of zero appearances in their national team. When they were interviewed after the game, they all thanked Ji Ya, saying that it was Ji Ya After training and training, they can perform so well...

"These children, why do they always tell the truth." Ji Ya replied during the interview, which caused the reporters present to laugh.

In fact, during this period of time, Ji Ya paid more attention to the performance of Villarreal. This La Liga team performed well this season, ranking fourth, and it is certain to enter the Champions League next season. They also have many excellent players, goalkeeper Diego Lopez, defender Marchena, midfielder Senna is old, but midfielder Sandy Cazorla and Borja Valero performed very well. Giuseppe Rossi on the front line performed bravely, and it is normal for them to have the current performance.

After all, Rossi was a genius recognized by everyone in the past, but frequent injuries prevented him from performing well. This season, he got rid of the troubles of injuries, and it became normal to have such a performance things.

For such a team, there are famous players who have performed well in the three lines, and the overall state is also excellent. At the same time, their position in the top four of La Liga is stable, and the championship is hopeless... From this perspective, they are the most difficult team to deal with.

"Their skills are gorgeous and they are good at hitting the ground. If we recover the defense, we will not have a big problem, but in this way, the impact on the offense will be great." Benelli said.

"Why should we defend? Just compete with them on offense! We've reached the top eight, so what else can we be conservative about? Let's fully display our offensive ability and kill them!" Ji Ya waved his fist and said confidently .

Benelli glanced at Ji Ya in surprise, and then quickly realized.

That's right, anyway, Southampton's ability can only be played by offense, so let's continue to attack.
