I brush achievements in football

Southampton played against West Bromwich Albion at home in the fourth round. This was the runner-up of the British Championship last season, and their performance is also in line with this status. After three rounds, they have one draw and two losses, ranking No.17.

Considering that Ajax will be away in the middle of the week, Ji Ya adopted a lot of rotations in this game. The goalkeeper Martin, the defensive line Cancelo and Peters served as the two full-backs, and the central defenders Rudiger and Chambers, midfielders De Bruyne, Bellingham, Phillips, forwards Du Yue, Musiala, Vardy.

This is a substitute lineup, but compared with West Bromwich Albion, this lineup is also enough to create huge pressure.

Southampton, who sits at home, can almost be said to have taken the opponent lightly. Vardy took the lead in opening the scoring for Southampton in the first half, proving that although he is old, he is still a suitable substitute. Before the end, the score advantage was expanded. After leading by two goals, Du Yue and De Bruyne were replaced. Southampton still had the upper hand on the field. Bellingham's goal helped Southampton win a three-to-one match Zero wins, which allowed them to wholeheartedly deal with the second-tier teams in the Champions League group stage.

In the first round of the Champions League, Southampton played away against Ajax.

The contest between the first-tier teams and the second-tier teams, of course, Atlanta's strength itself is not impressive. They played against Southampton last season. Tone reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and was one of the dark horses last season. They can obviously compete with Ajax.

This is not bad for Southampton. If Ajax can be hammered to death in the first round, it will be easy to win the second round against the weakest Midtjylland, so you can see Ajax in the second round. Jax and Atlanta are fighting to the death, what can the result be.

In the next two games against Atlanta, we can take it easy. In the last two rounds, maybe Southampton will go through the motions.

Such a group itself does not have much pressure on a strong team like Southampton, as long as they don't stretch their hips to lose to these two opponents one after another.

But to beat Southampton... Whether it is Ajax or Atlanta, they will not have such ambitions, at least they will not count on the first three rounds.

After Ji Ya brought the team to the Netherlands, they seemed to be very low-key, but no matter how low-key they were, no one dared to underestimate the Southampton players. In such a game, the strength they showed was overwhelming. of strength.

Ajax also won the Eredivisie championship last season, their strength is not very good, the team that performed well before was basically dismantled, De Ligt was in Southampton, Van der Beck is at Manchester United, Frankie de Jong is at Barcelona, ​​Ziyech is at Chelsea... Eredivisie teams basically end up like this. If they perform better, they will be split up soon.

So this Ajax team is already seriously injured. Only Blind and Tatic were left as the main force back then, but they still have some good players in their formation, such as the Moroccan full-back Mazra Wei, Cameroon goalkeeper Onana, these are very good players.

As a traditional strong team, Ajax's background is still quite strong.

"The lineup they are used to is also four, three, three...you know how to deal with them."

Kiya spoke to the Southampton players before the game.

Indeed, in the four-three-three confrontation, it is not a question of whether the counterattack is fast or not, but in the midfield.

Whoever controls the midfield can launch more attacks.

Of course, Southampton has the most advantage in this aspect. Ajax's midfielder was still very strong before, but De Jong and Van der Beek have both left, and Blind will go to the midfielder to play the midfielder. The Ajax midfielder who wants to fight against the midfielder led by De Bruyne is simply thinking too much.

And in this game, Ji Ya also dispatched his full main force.

Goalkeeper Martin, defenders Cancelo, De Ligt, Araujo, Chilwell, midfielders De Bruyne, Grealish, McAllister, forwards Du Yue, Vinicius, Valverde Germany.

This is Southampton's core main lineup now. McAllister's role in the midfield is inconspicuous, but he is a good lubricant. He can do everything in the midfield and can help other teammates very well.

The Ajax fans shouted loudly, hoping to see their team beat Southampton in this game, at least strive for a tie, otherwise this group will be very difficult...

In fact, they also thought the same way. Blind was on top of the midfielder to increase the running and defensive ability of the midfielder. The offense was mainly based on counterattacks. Half of the players in Ajax were new players. It was replaced, so it is still a bit difficult to play offensively, especially in the Champions League.

So after the game started, the tone of Southampton's offense and Ajax's defense was basically set.

After Southampton controlled the midfield, their offense was continuous, but Ajax's defense was quite good. During the game, they constantly interfered with Southampton's offense. It is also quite good, and the constant saves have hindered Southampton's offense a lot.

After Du Yue pulled the side and forced a cross from the bottom, Valverde followed up and outflanked the shot. Onana attacked early and blocked Valverde's shot angle with his body. Valverde's shot hit him and went wide. bottom line.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, De Ligt took the lead with a header, and the ball was slightly above the crossbar.

McAllister made a direct pass from the right. After Valverde made a breakthrough, he swept the ball towards the goal. Du Yue ran away from the opponent's defender and was about to shoot, but Onana attacked and broke the ball from the middle in advance. !

"This goalkeeper is doing well." Ji Ya said with some surprise.

"A very good goalkeeper, but he has had some ups and downs," Benelli said.

Ji Ya nodded. Now there are more and more good goalkeepers. While many goalkeepers are tall and long, they also maintain quite flexible athletic ability and responsiveness, which also forces offensive players to play more tricky.

However, in terms of shooting accuracy, the Southampton players have no problem. Du Yue is a player who shoots quite accurately. A striker like him is often the nemesis of an excellent goalkeeper.

"It's the greatest luck to be able to find him from the youth team... Tsk tsk, 99 achievement points, it's worth it." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart. Du Yue's current state is as good as death. The performance of age is just about to reach the top.
