I brush achievements in football

The game against Swansea went quite smoothly.

Especially the veteran Vardy who started this game, maybe young players will have some fluctuations in performance under such circumstances, but a veteran like Vardy is very good at seizing such opportunities.

Moreover, he came from a grassroots background, so he knows what the English Championship teams generally think about in such a situation, and what kind of performance they will perform in the game.

So shortly after the start of the game, he took the lead in grabbing points in the penalty area and scored with a header, opening the door to victory for Southampton.

After the first goal, the next game will be easier to play. Originally, the Swansea defenders were still focusing on Du Yue, but they didn't expect this old guy to be so good at playing, and they were caught off guard all of a sudden.

Vardy quickly created another good opportunity. He turned around forcibly after taking the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then took a shot.

These Swansea defenders really dare not relax their defense against Vardy, but once they strengthened their defense against Vardy, Du Yue became active again.

Soon Du Yue let them know what is one of the best strikers in the world. In just 10 minutes, Du Yue scored two goals in a burst. After breaking the goal, he took the ball from the front of the penalty area and dribbled the ball across a defender, and then shot decisively. The ball drew an arc in the air and flew into the far corner of the goal.

After scoring twice early and helping Southampton take a three-goal lead, Du Yue started paddling on the court. There is no need for such a hard game.

During the intermission, Ji Ya replaced Du Yue and De Bruyne. Southampton continued to attack in the second half and scored two more goals in the second half. They swept Swansea [-]-[-] and broke into the FA Cup quarterfinals.

The gold content of the FA Cup quarter-finals this time is relatively high. Southampton, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Leicester City, and Sheffield United are all Premier League teams.

However, it is obvious that the Manchester duo, the two teams in London, and Southampton are stronger. Liverpool met Chelsea in the fifth round before, and were eliminated by Chelsea after obviously staying strong.

So many people speculate whether Newcastle Leicester City Sheffield United will have a team drawn together, at least to leave a seed for the weak team.

However, after the draw results came out, everyone sighed and shook their heads. Chelsea met Leicester City, Arsenal met Sheffield United, and Manchester City met Newcastle. Southampton and Manchester United were drawn together, and it was obvious that the two teams were going to fight together.

Regarding this point, Ji Ya doesn't care too much, after all, it is normal to meet a strong team in the game, if you want to win the cup, you have to have no problems in a single game.

He is now focusing more on the Champions League, and the current league results are not very important, so meeting more strong teams in the FA Cup will be of great help to the team's state maintenance.

The next game is Southampton's home game against Newcastle. Newcastle is now ranked No.14. It's already a team that doesn't care about it in order to maintain the level. But at this time, their fighting spirit is quite good. Exuberant, after all, Southampton is obviously more concerned about the second round of the Champions League in the next week.

Although Southampton defeated their opponent [-]-[-] in the away game in the first round, it was only a two-goal lead after all, and it may not necessarily be able to advance. It can only be said that they have a great advantage.

So in this kind of game, no team will be careful and will definitely send all the main players. Then in this league, Southampton will probably send substitutes.

Actually it is.

Southampton sent a large number of substitutes in this game. The defense is a full substitute lineup. Callister, forwards Du Yue, Vinicius, Alvarez.

Such a lineup is certainly not Southampton's main lineup. Even De Bruyne did not play in this game, and the captain's armband was worn on Du Yue's arm.

Obviously, if it wasn't for not wanting to interrupt the rhythm of Du Yue's recent consecutive goals, maybe even Ji Ya and Du Yue would rotate.

The biggest change in Southampton this season is actually that Du Yue and De Bruyne played a lot more than before.

However, their playing time has actually not increased significantly, because in many cases, Ji Ya let them play for six to seven 10 minutes, and then let them go down, so they did not increase the player's burden.

Newcastle felt that they had seen a chance. Even if they couldn't win, it would be good to try to get a draw in the away game. However, although Southampton had no hope of winning the championship, Ji Ya had something to say to their hearts— —Even if we can't win the championship, the point gap between us and Liverpool can't be widened too much!

Now the points gap with Liverpool is [-] points, so at least before the end of the season, the points gap with Liverpool must be reduced to less than [-] points!

After all, it would be a bit too shameful to be opened by a double-digit point difference.

The Southampton players are very satisfied with this request, and this is what they will pursue in the league next.

So in this game, although they were substitutes, the Southampton players did not lack fighting spirit at all.

The three midfielders are all substitutes, but the characteristics of the three are quite compatible. McAllister is a very comprehensive midfielder. He can appear in any position, and then he can do everything, take the ball, pass the ball, Runs, tackles, tackles... everything is in order.

And Prowse is a small De Bruyne, good at organization and scheduling.

Phillips has excellent running ability and the ability to get up and down.

The combination of these three substitutes, at least against the middle and lower teams, can still gain a considerable advantage.

Moreover, De Bruyne and other main players are not on the field, and Southampton's ball possession tactics are not played so much. They can quickly find the striker through the midfield to launch an attack.

Under such circumstances, Peters' continuous forward insertion should start to become a beautiful landscape on the field. Peters has been relatively low-key since joining Southampton. He is a substitute for the full-back and has the opportunity to play from time to time, but he His characteristics are also very suitable for this substitute. He can play left and right, has good defense, and good assist ability. As long as he plays, he can play well.

It has to be said that although there are not many local players in Southampton's main lineup, those local players in the substitute lineup are quite useful.
