I brush achievements in football

After the start of the second half of the game, Southampton was constantly controlling the field, and then looked for opportunities to score.

Their lineup itself is suitable for playing possession. Vinicius and Sancho can also retreat to the midfield to help get the ball, so there is no such thing as a problem that will result from being aggressively pressed by the opponent.

Southampton's first shot in the second half came from Vinicius. He crossed the ball after taking the ball from the wing, and then took a long shot with the ball slightly above the crossbar.

Immediately afterwards, Araujo's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Sancho took the ball from the wing again. He began to break forward from the right. His breakthrough was always very sharp. Stopping the ball and passing the ball directly into the penalty area, Du Yue swayed a shot, and the ball flew over his head. Vinicius, who followed up, faced the falling ball from behind and shot directly in the air!

Three to one, Southampton expanded its lead and almost sealed the victory!

Ji Ya nodded in satisfaction, and then he began to change people.

Vinicius and Du Yue, who scored goals, left the field at the same time, while McAllister and Alvarez played.

This is to gradually shrink and fight back.

And 10 minutes later, seeing that Villa basically had no counterattack power, Southampton's possession of the ball in the midfield was quite stable, Kiya replaced two more people, Prowse and Phillips came on, and Balwe De and De Bruyne were also replaced.

But even so, they still created a lot of opportunities. Sancho made a cross after a breakthrough, and Alvarez succeeded in grabbing the point, but it was a pity that he hit the ball on the side net.

However, in the 808th minute of the game, Villa almost recovered a point again. Substitute forward Engels headed the goal in the penalty area. Mendy made a hard save to block the ball, and the slightly changed direction of the ball was hit hard. On the post, then bounced back into the penalty area and was cleared by Chilwell Bigfoot!

This is also the last chance for Villa to equalize the score. After all, the goal is scored, and there is still time to equalize the score in stoppage time. Impossible.

Instead, before the end of the game, Southampton almost expanded their lead again. After Sancho moved laterally from the right, McAllister, who followed up, shot non-stop in the penalty area and was bravely saved by the opposing goalkeeper. out.

However, this has not had much impact on the next game.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was [-] to [-]. Southampton defeated Aston Villa and won the first championship of the season!

This is also the third League Cup championship in the history of the Southampton club.

The Southampton players began to celebrate excitedly on the field. This championship is the best reward for their recent efforts. Although the league is gone, it is still very meaningful to win two more championships in the cup!

"Happy to win the Carabao Cup... Southampton don't value the Carabao Cup? This is nonsense, how can we not value a national competition? How many teams can hardly even win a Carabao Cup , although we have won a lot of championships, but at any time, championships are scarce, so we will not stop pursuing the championship, and win the championship if we have the opportunity, which will always be the goal of Southampton. Although now The professional game in China is already very commercialized, and the club's economy is the most important thing, but we always care more about honor."

Ji Ya smiled at the press conference after the game and said that Southampton played very difficult in the League Cup this time, especially in the knockout stage, and encountered many strong teams. Of course, luck is also good. When there was a conflict in the Club Cup, they met a fourth-tier team, and the upper youth team won the final victory...

And Villa eliminated Liverpool before, otherwise, it would not be so easy for Southampton to win when they met Liverpool in the final.

With the League Cup trophy, the Southampton players returned to Southampton excitedly, and then they received a grand welcome. What Ji Ya said was correct. Although Southampton has won many championships recently, but for the As far as Southampton fans are concerned, they are not arrogant enough to think that the Carling Cup is not important.

Any championship matters, it's that simple.

However, the current schedule is still very intensive, and Southampton has no rest time, so Ji Ya gave the players a day off the next day to let them relax.

After regrouping, Southampton ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The opponent in this game was not very strong. It was Swansea in the British Championship-Southampton had eliminated the Heat in the fourth round. Thorn, now meeting a relatively weak team can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the FA Cup.

The draw of the League Cup and the FA Cup has certain unspoken rules. For example, after a Premier League team encounters another relatively strong Premier League team, it will probably encounter a weaker opponent in the next round, and a weaker team will probably encounter a weaker opponent in the next round. If the team performs well, their draw will be relatively better. Generally, the FA Cup can guarantee one or two low-level league teams in the quarter-finals. As for whether they can create legends in the future, it depends on their own efforts.

After all, any competition still needs topics, and adjusting some places to create topics is something that all organizing committees will do.

In the game against Swansea, Ji Ya rotated most of the main players. Except for De Bruyne and Du Yue who were on the field as the bottom line, the others were basically substitutes or young players. But it is obvious that Nanan Putton's substitutes and young players are not something the Championship team can compete with.

This can be observed from the two young people who have been loaned and booked by Southampton.

Bellingham and Musiala, who are also 16 years old, are now in the British Championship and have begun to play their big names.

Although their performance in Birmingham is very average and they are still fighting for relegation, the performance of these two young players on the field is completely impossible to ignore.

Bellingham's midfield scheduling and his own forward attack, Musiala's frontcourt breakthrough with the ball and organizational offense, all showed an excellent state. Although their teammates are of average strength, they are two young players. Players can show core-level performance to make the team's performance better.

At least now Birmingham can still fight for relegation instead of being relegated early, thanks to the outstanding performance of these two young players-this has become a consensus among the Championship teams.

Being able to bring such a consensus is a testament to how well the two of them performed.
