I brush achievements in football

Southampton fans can't wait for the new season.

Of course, they also know that the schedule is not very favorable to them, but after the outstanding performance last season and the supplementary strength this summer, they still have enough confidence in the club's results.

The Southampton players are also confident.

Although Manchester City ranked third in the Premier League last season, and had the same points as Chelsea, which ranked second, and nine points less than the champion Manchester United. This summer, they introduced Aguero and others at a high price, and their strength has been improved. I feel that I have the strength to fight.

Two days before the start of the game, Ji Ya led his team to Manchester.

"As a newly promoted team, of course we must remain in awe of a strong Premier League team like Manchester City... But now that we are back in the Premier League, we will always encounter strong teams. In any case, we must work hard to win." Ji Ya said before the game said at a press conference.

"Southampton performed very well in the Europa League last season, at least better than us, so we have no reason to underestimate them. Manchester City's goal this season? Of course it is to hit the championship." Mancini seemed very low-key.

The head coach of the newly promoted horse is high-profile, but the head coach of the strong team is low-key-this is not that they want to play a reversal, but it just shows that the two head coaches have different directions and goals, but they are both excellent.

Ji Ya knows that although Mancini is criticized for being a bit soft, his tactical ability is still very good, otherwise he would not have relied on Eric without serious coaching training. Learning from Sen's side, he slowly grew into a top head coach.

Moreover, his ability to build a team is quite good, and the people who buy it are basically not wasted. His characteristics are indeed in line with the current Manchester City.

Although Manchester City bought a lot of people this summer, they are basically worth the money.

"Their main tactic is four-three-three. In fact, this is not good for Mancini. Do you think Dzeko or Aguero will be the center forward? Go for Dzeko, put a striker worth 4000 million euros on the bench? If it is Aguero, he does not have the tactical fulcrum of Dzeko... Hehe, this will make him a lot of trouble." Ji Ya said to Benali.

"Our oppressive tactics should be able to achieve good results." Benelli also nodded.

"Yes, the only problem is that we may have some loopholes in this regard due to coordination issues, but this is also normal. If we play more games, the loopholes will naturally disappear." Ji Ya said.

When the first game was ushered in at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans cheered loudly. They have gradually become proud in the past few years. You must know that they have always been a dick compared to their rivals Manchester United in the same city. In [-], first Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and then the Emirati took over successively. Although they still did not bring any decent champions, they bought a lot of people for them, making them stable in the ranks of the top few strong teams for a long time. This makes them hopeful for the future.

Although the rivals in the same city are still so powerful, they have already seen the hope of breaking through the opponent's suppression.

This game is against the newly promoted Southampton. Although this team has been very good recently, can they compare with themselves?

No!

When the players from both sides came out, they greeted the Manchester City players with huge cheers.

"Okay, now the starting lineups of both sides have come out, and they are all four-three-three formations! Mancini's goalkeeper is the young Joe Hart. In order to right him, he even sold away the famous player Shay! Defender Richards, left back Clichy, center back is captain Kompany and Lescott, midfielder De Jong is in charge of defense, Gareth Barry is in charge of organization and distribution, Yaya Toure is in charge The two wingers are Adam Johnson and David Silva, and Dzeko is the center forward! In addition to Clichy, the introductions of Aguero, Nasri, Savage and Hargreaves is sitting on the bench, it seems that Mancini still wants to focus on stability!"

"Compared with most of Manchester City's players who were in the team last season, Southampton's starting lineup can be described as a big change. The goalkeeper Nasri, the defenders are Klein and Blind, and the central defender is partnered with Lovren. And captain Feng Te, this is also the most complete of the three lines! Except for the left back Blind who is a new player, the rest are old players from last season! In the midfield, the newly joined Matu Edie and Dembele partnered in the midfielder, and the attacking midfielder is also the newly joined Vidal! The forward line has undergone earth-shaking changes, winger Willian, double forward Klose and James Rodriguez, all They are all newly joined players! There are five old players in the starting lineup and six newly joined players, but as a newly promoted team, it is really normal to have such a change..."

"It's actually not normal, because Southampton is already a very mature team, otherwise they would not have won the Europa League last season. With their strength, minor repairs are the safest way...Of course , Considering that Chamberlain, Lallana and Lambert have all been bought away, it is normal for them to change so much, after all, they have lost three absolute main players, and they cannot be filled by only Austin and Mkhitaryan."

The commentators from all walks of life began to comment on the starters of the two sides. To be honest, there is nothing to comment on Manchester City's starters, but Southampton has a lot to say.

"Compared to last season's striker, the biggest problem with the current striker is height. Although Klose is a good header, but his height is only 1.8 meters, ten centimeters shorter than Giroud, James? Rodriguez can't compare with Lambert! Their midfielders are also of average height, is Southampton going to use ground tactics to play in the Premier League?"

"Ji Ya shouldn't be so stupid. Last season, Southampton had an absolute technical advantage in the British Championship. He used two high center forwards."

For the comments of the commentators, Ji Ya had already prepared in his heart.

Such a striker partner is actually to cooperate with the oppressive tactics of high pressing.

The more you can run, the more flexible you are.

Giroud actually did a good job in this regard, but Klose has more experience.

Players from both sides began to disperse on the field, the referee looked at his watch, and then blew the whistle vigorously to start the game.

Dzeko, who kicked off the ball first, kicked the ball to Silva, and then ran forward by himself.

After City's kick-off, Southampton's players, already moving forward in unison, began preparing for their full-court press.

"Southampton started pressing from the start! Impressive! It's amazing!"

The narrators who were still preparing to continue their commentary shouted loudly.

This kind of oppression not only surprised Manchester City, but also surprised them.
