I brush achievements in football

"Why are we also like this this season..."

After celebrating the team's entry into the semi-finals, the Southampton fans began to pay attention to what the other three opponents were, and then someone made such a sigh...

No wonder.

Last season, the semi-finals of the Europa League were three Portuguese teams plus one Southampton. This season, the semi-finals of the Europa League were three Spanish teams plus one Southampton.

Valencia eliminated Eredivisie team Alkmaar [-]-[-] in two rounds.

Atletico Madrid eliminated Metalist of the Ukrainian Super League [-]-[-] in two rounds.

Athletic Bilbao defeated Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League [-]-[-] in two rounds.

So in this way, apart from Southampton, there are three La Liga teams entering the semi-finals...

And they are all strong teams.

Valencia was eliminated from the Champions League, Atletico Madrid was the champion of the Europa League two years ago, and Athletic Bilbao is quite good at playing cup games-otherwise they would not have won the Spanish King's Cup the most at one time team.

Southampton's opponent is Valencia, and Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao will fight each other.

"We have experience! This season's champion must still be us!"

After seeing the news, many Southampton fans showed their psychological advantages one after another.

However, soon La Liga fans began to point out the absurdity of this argument-last season, Porto and Benfica, the two strong teams in the Portuguese Super League, killed each other first, which gave you a chance. But Valencia instead of Athletic Bilbao, there will be no such opportunity again!

Athletic Bilbao fans shot while lying down: ? ? ?Are you polite?

"We still have three Premier League games to play before the first leg against Valencia... Now we don't care about it." Kiya said in an interview.

Of course, others also know that Ji Ya's words are just to cool down. Valencia is not a weak team. Now they are also firmly ranked third in La Liga. Although the gap with the top two is a bit big, the third The position is still quite stable.

From this perspective, the current situation of Valencia and Southampton is quite similar...

In the semifinals, they can show their best form.

Southampton continued winless in the next round of the league - after adjusting most of their starts, they drew [-]-[-] at home to Newcastle, a draw that cut Southampton's lead over Arsenal to five points. Points, but still seven points ahead of Tottenham...

In this round of the league, it was Tottenham's turn to lose the chain. They scored [-]-[-] against the mid-range team Sunderland in the away game. They could only watch Southampton continue to lead them by [-] points.

There are still six rounds left in the league, and the advantage of seven points is actually not small, and in the remaining six rounds, there are only two strong teams, Manchester United and Liverpool. To face these two strong teams at the same time, it is still the last two rounds of the league...

At that time, the situation in Southampton should have been settled.

Sure enough, after this draw, Southampton's main lineup, which had been resting for almost ten days, performed well in the next round of the league. They beat the Queens Park Rangers who were fighting for relegation. , they still achieved a three-to-zero victory.

Tottenham lost the chain again. They lost to Norwich, which allowed Southampton to expand their advantage to [-] points. Although Arsenal are still chasing after them, the difference between the third and fourth in the Premier League, Not too big either.

Another week later, Southampton once again won a 19-[-] victory at home. Blackburn is now ranked No.[-], but they still do not have the backbone that a relegation team should have. At St. Mary's Stadium, they lost I have no temper at all.

It was Arsenal's turn to encounter Waterloo in this round. They lost [-]-[-] at home to Wigan Athletic, and Tottenham seized the opportunity to beat Bolton, only one point behind Arsenal!

The competition for No.4 seems to be fierce again.

The two biggest opponents have lost the chain. Southampton is now eight points ahead of Arsenal and ten points ahead of Tottenham. There are only four rounds left in the league. Let alone keep the top four, even No.3 seems to be theirs. stuff in the bag.

And the battle for the championship seems to have begun to settle down. Manchester United is now ahead of Manchester City by a full five points, and there are still four rounds left. This advantage is actually quite large!

But Ji Ya doesn't care about this anymore. After all, Southampton's current No.3 position can be said to be quite stable, and all his attention has been put on the Europa League.

Defending the Europa League title is also a remarkable achievement!

At least it is an achievement that has not been taken, and at least 480 achievement points will be obtained.

For this number, Ji Ya will also fight hard.

The advantage of the Europa League is that the game starts relatively late. For example, the Southampton game of this round of the league was brought forward by one day and ended on April [-]th, while the Europa League game will not start until April [-]th. This basically means that all the main players have rested.

As for the next league game that will be played on the 22nd, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Southampton's current position is very stable, and Ji Ya can just be on the bench.

Although this Valencia team does not have the strength to compete for the championship before, it is still firmly in the top four. Their head coach Emery can be regarded as a young and promising young coach. He was born in 71 and is now only 40. Of course, compared with Ji Ya, who is only 28 years old now, all the young coaches are old.

"They are accustomed to using four-two-three-one tactics. Left winger Alba is the source of their offensive initiation, but their goals are the same as ours, relying on multiple points to bloom, and there is no fixed scoring point, so we pay attention to the defense. The significance of how to tear open the cracks in their defense and score goals is what we need to pay attention to." Ji Ya said to the players.

"Boss, I think our goals have found their way recently, so this is not a problem." Ronaldo said to Ji Ya.

"Really? It depends on your performance. This game is our home game. We must win, and we must get enough goal difference. Do you understand?" Ji Ya laughed, and then forced He waved his arms.

"of course!"

The players waved their fists one after another. They are not interested in the league now. The third position is very stable, and the top two are hard to catch up. So their attention is all on the Europa League.

This should be the last time we play the Europa League!Next year we will play the Champions League!So shouldn't such an opportunity be cherished!

They really cherish the rest of the Europa League this season.

They also hope to win this championship.
