I brush achievements in football

The draw with Manchester City in the first round did not disappoint the Southampton fans, but made them look forward to the next game even more. Otamendi performed well in the game, and Benteke even scored a goal With an assist and the performance of the new aid, Southampton fans began to look forward to the next game even more.

In the first round of the league, Southampton drew with Manchester City, Manchester United beat Everton in a difficult away game, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic lightly, Tottenham were miserable, losing to Newcastle United in an away game, Arsenal suffered a game A draw, of course, they are not as miserable as Liverpool, they still spent a lot of money in the transfer market this summer, such as the introduction of midfielder Joe Allen for 600 million, and the introduction of Italian striker Borini from Rome for 1000 and 4000 million , Coupled with the investment in Lovren, they still have a net investment of more than [-] million pounds this season, but they were beaten [-]-[-] by West Bromwich Albion in the first round!

The new head coach Rodgers made a bad start. If he hadn't been newly appointed, the fans and management still had a lot of patience, otherwise this defeat alone would be enough to dismiss him.

Three days later, Southampton ushered in the second round of the match. Their opponent was Wigan Athletic. Of course, Southampton, who is at home, will not be defeated by this opponent. The draw in the first round made them confident and unwilling In the end, Southampton, who was sitting at home, won the opponent [-]-[-]. Vidal opened the scoring for the team.

And soon ushered in the third round...their opponent was Manchester United.

The game against Manchester United was actually played in advance, and the game between Chelsea and Reading was also played before. After all, they and Chelsea will meet in the UEFA Super Cup on September [-]st...

Manchester United won two consecutive victories in the previous game. Van Persie scored his first goal after joining Manchester United in the second round. However, before the start of this round, Manchester United was still in a state with many injuries. Rooney continued to be absent, Ashley? Young also could not play, but fortunately Ferdinand returned from injury in time.

"Huh, Ferguson actually used substitute goalkeeper Lindegaard to replace De Gea?" Ji Ya asked in surprise.

"After all, it is also a direct lineage introduced by Ferguson before. At the beginning stage, we must play for a while and compete for posts." Benelli said with a smile.

"Then let's help De Gea and let him stabilize his main position." Ji Ya laughed.

Ji Ya still attaches great importance to De Gea. De Gea performed very well last season. Although Manchester United conceded a lot of goals, as a newly joined goalkeeper, De Gea's performance is already very good.

Of course, because his predecessor was a great goalkeeper, De Gea's performance has been a bit up and down, which is actually normal...

In this game, Ferguson replaced him with a substitute goalkeeper, which made Ji Ya think it was a good opportunity.

Lindegaard joined a season earlier than De Gea. If it was really good, Ferguson would not buy De Gea at a high price!

In this game, Ji Ya also rotated the lineup. Among them, Vidal and Ronaldo were rotated by him. After all, there will be a European Super Cup match. Luke Shaw was also used as a left back, and Schneider Schneider as a midfielder. Delin started, while Nolito also served as the left winger position.

Manchester United's full-backs are always a weakness, which is why Ji Ya uses this lineup.

"Hold Van Persie, he is in good shape recently." Kiya said to Otamendi before playing.

Otamendi nodded. It is indeed a good thing for the newly joined Argentine central defender to have such an important task in such an important game.

This at least proves that the club really values ​​him.

The cheers continued at St Mary's as Southampton attacked aggressively from the start of the game - that alone was enough to keep the Southampton fans cheering.

After all, they hope that the team can achieve higher achievements, and in the Premier League, any team that wants to achieve higher achievements must first pass Manchester United.

This is the effect of Manchester United's top-level status after the establishment of the Premier League.

There are many teams that challenged them, but for a long time, only Manchester United was challenged.

The rise of Arsenal is to compete with Manchester United.

The rise of Chelsea is also competing with Manchester United.

Manchester City rose last season and still had to compete with Manchester United.

If you don't attack Manchester United's position, you will never be a champion.

This is the moment Southampton fans crave.

In fact, Ji Ya is also eager for this moment, especially Sir Alex Ferguson is getting older, who knows how long he can coach...

"After this season, I should be retiring." Ferguson said while shaking hands with Kiya.

Ji Ya was taken aback.

"What's the matter? Is it strange? I'm so old." Ferguson said.

"Oh, what I think is, I must win the league championship this season...otherwise, if I win it later, others will say that I became famous without Sir Alex Ferguson..." Ji Ya said.

"Hahaha, I was robbed of the championship by Mancini last season. If you rob me of this season, then I should really retire!" Ferguson laughed.

When the two head coaches returned to their positions, the game had already begun.

Southampton, who played at home, took the lead in attacking.

Mkhitaryan gets the ball in the middle, and then he starts to dribble forward, while Schneiderlin runs behind him, ready to respond to Mkhitaryan's pass at any time.

When Carrick came to defend, Mkhitaryan raised his foot and gave the ball to Nolito on the right.

The main offensive force at the beginning was Nolito.

This is one thing that a lot of people don't think about.

However, for Southampton, it is normal to make such a choice, because Manchester United's defense line, the two wings are now their biggest problems.

Raphael's strength is average, otherwise Ferguson would not often use Valencia to play this position, and in this game, the left winger Ashley Young could not play, and Welbeck took his place. The speed and skills are not bad, but he is a pure offensive player, unlike Professor Young who has a good defensive ability, so he can't help Evra.

The defenses on both sides are slightly weaker.

Although Nolito is a substitute in Southampton, his technical characteristics and speed skills can play a big role.

He started to break through with the ball on the right, used technology to open a gap, and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Benteke wanted to grab a point, but was stuck by Vidic, and Ferdinand made a clearance immediately.

"The cooperation between these two guys is really top-notch." Ji Ya muttered.

"That is, anyway, a top central defender combination that has been maintained for many years." Benelli said.

"Now let's see if our new center back combination can reach this level." Ji Ya said thoughtfully.
