I brush achievements in football

When the Manchester United players came to Southampton, they had a slightly tragic mood.

After playing nine rounds in the league, Southampton made great strides, ranking first with eight wins and one tie. The Champions League qualified ahead of the group stage, and now they are at home again. Manchester United lost two games in the first nine rounds. Compared with Southampton, it is obviously still There are many gaps.

Although the difference between fourth and first seems to be not far away, the gap of six points is real.

"Kill them and expand to nine points." Ji Ya said to the players before the game started.

Solskjaer still attaches great importance to this game, and his lineup is slowly on the track. Now his lineup can be regarded as a cloud of good players, especially the central defender combination that has seemed average for a long time , is also starting to look very thick now, if Mourinho sees his current lineup, he may sigh...

Goalkeeper De Gea, the two full-backs are Wan Bissaka and Telles, the central defender Maguire and Lindelof are partnered, the midfielder Matic and Fred are the double midfielders, and B Fernando is forward. The first wingers are Sancho and Rashford, and Greenwood is the center forward.

This is a very strong lineup, and on the bench, there are Bailey and Luke Shaw as defenders, Van der Beek and Mata as midfielders, and Daniel James and Cavani as forwards. This is enough to prove that Manchester United's current overall strength is indeed quite outstanding, with many good players.

"No matter how many good players there are, we must be able to show them off smoothly... The three forwards have three players with excellent speed and skills, but their impact is slightly insufficient... I dare not let Du Yue play in the past two years. How dare you let Greenwood take on the heavy responsibility of playing a one-man striker."

Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

In his opinion, for such a young genius, it's not good if you don't give him space, but it's not a good thing to give him too much space.

To do anything, you have to do it step by step, and you can't backfire.

Southampton's starting lineup for this game is also four-three-three. There is no rotation in the goalkeeper and the defense. The stability of the defense must be maintained. The midfielder is De Bruyne with Grealish and Soucek. Forward Du Yue took Vinicius and Valverde.

Now Southampton's main force is also very stable, but there may be some changes in the midfield. Soucek is sometimes the main force, but sometimes his position is also McAllister or even Bellingham. These five people are Southampton. Puton's first choice in the midfield, of course, is also indispensable for Valverde who has withdrawn from the forward position.

Prause and Phillips serve as firefighters, but they also come off the bench and play a lot, and under such circumstances, they can also meet their needs.

This is the key to the thickness of Southampton's lineup. Generally speaking, the defense does not need to be rotated. Among the Southampton's backup defenders, Rudiger is actually very useful. On the forward line, there is Alvarez's strength. Reliable substitutes like forwards and Vardy are enough. On the contrary, in the midfield, there are a large number of players to choose from, which is the confidence and key to Ji Ya's substitutions.

And there are many good players in the midfield, and Southampton's lineup can also change back and forth, four-three-three, four-four-two, even four-five-one, or three-five-two, Southampton can come in handy, and they are also familiar with these formations. quite familiar.

To deal with a coach who is not particularly experienced like Solskjaer, Kiya's substitutions and tactical changes can play the biggest role.

When shaking hands with Solskjaer, Ji Ya didn't say much. There are four Southampton players in the three lines of Manchester United's starting lineup, and they are all players who have been reused by Ji Ya. Of course, he knows how to deal with these guys .

Maguire has a strong frontal defense, but turns slowly.

Matic is solid, but he doesn't cover enough ground.

B Fei is a very useful offensive player in the frontcourt, but if he can cut off the pass from his teammates well, then his threat will drop a lot.

Sancho's breakthrough is excellent, but his speed is not very fast, and he often takes the ball too much, and he wants to cooperate with others, but he is still a little bit short.

These are players who have their own outstanding points, but also have fatal flaws.

Southampton has many players like this. Ji Ya can combine them well and play their best parts, but in others, he can know how to deal with them.

The whole Southampton supporters cheered after the game started, ready to celebrate the game.

Before the start of the game, there was a ceremony of silence, because just a few days ago, the second-generation recognized football king, Argentina's legendary Diego Maradona passed away due to illness in Argentina. The 60-year-old football king Leaving the Argentine people, in order to commemorate this champion who has made outstanding contributions to world football, this round of the European League basically has to observe a moment of silence.

Both Southampton and Manchester United have Argentine players, so the silence was sincere.

After the game started, the two sides began to quickly throw themselves into the game.

Manchester United's players are running in the midfield, looking for opportunities to score. The three of them in the frontcourt are all skilled and excellent players, and they are also good at playing behind the scenes.

In the midfield, whether it is B Fei or Fred, they all have the ability to play the ball.

In the 6th minute of the game, they relied on a concise through ball to create the first chance of the game.

B Fei took the ball slightly ahead, Soucek forced it up, B Fei did not turn around forcibly, but passed the ball back to Fred, and Fred didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball and suddenly went straight!

The ball accurately flew to the gap between Chilwell and De Ligt. Greenwood jumped in at a high speed, threw off De Ligt who had returned to the defense during the run, and got the ball first in the penalty area.

However, at this time, Martin had already rushed out and flew to block his shooting path. Greenwood took the ball forward and waded over Martin, but he had almost no shooting angle...

Under such circumstances, Greenwood still chose to force the shot. The next moment, the ball hit the side net and went out of the baseline. Southampton fans applauded from the stands.

Rashford expressed a little depressed that he should pass the ball, and Greenwood waved his hand, indicating that he should pay attention next time.

"They are very threatening straight through." Benali said.

"It's okay, we're playing possession, we will definitely encounter such a situation, don't worry too much." Ji Ya said to Benelli.

And if it is more than a through pass, wouldn't the threat of a Southampton through pass be greater?

Southampton's two central defenders are at least not slow to turn around, but what about Manchester United's central defenders?

Maguire is slow to turn around, and Lindelof is the same. Facing Du Yue, who is faster and has better timing, how long can they last?
