"I don't care what the outside world says, and I don't care whether we have no hope of entering the knockout stage. I just know that we still have at least two Champions League games this season. We must perform as well as possible. Even if we are eliminated, we can't be ashamed. Those who have been eliminated." Ji Ya said seriously in the meeting room.

The expressions of the players are also very serious-to be honest, they are really not convinced so far. In the four games so far, they all feel that they have not been able to give their best...

Calculating carefully, they were in their best form in the first game against Real Madrid, but that game also injured two main players, and there will be problems in every game after that, even in an ordinary group In this kind of situation, it is easy for people to collapse, let alone such a group of death.

So they are really unconvinced!

"We should have entered the knockout round, but because of our lack of experience, bad luck, and interference in the schedule, our chances of entering the knockout round have become very small, but will we have to give up the remaining two games? Of course not! In the last two games, we will fight with all our strength! Even if it affects the performance of the league, we will not hesitate! Because this is the Champions League! We will win Real Madrid and Dortmund to prove Our strength!"

Amid Ji Ya's roar, the Southampton players also waved their fists and shouted. Sometimes you don't need so much reason, all you need is a clear mind!

It is not necessary to qualify for the group stage in the Champions Cup for the first time, but in the Champions Cup for the first time, it is impossible not to win all games!

No matter what, you have to win a game to prove your strength!

With this feeling of displeasure and aggrieved, Southampton began to vent their anger in the league.

The first to suffer is the newly promoted Swansea this season.

Swansea is now ranked No.11, and this performance is quite good. In fact, last season, they had a chance to play in the Premier League, but they lost to Norwich in the final of the Championship play-offs. In the end, he missed the Premier League, and finally came up this season, still as the champion of the English Championship.

They are performing quite well now, but unfortunately, they encountered a Southampton team that was running amok.

Benteke scored a goal in the first half, but it was Mkhitaryan who opened the scoring for Southampton. Klose and Nolito, who came off the bench in the second half, scored a goal each. With one point back, Southampton swept their opponents four to one.

Chelsea have tied two games in a row in the last two games, Manchester City has one draw and one win, and Manchester United has two consecutive victories-in this way, although Southampton is still ranked fourth, it is only one point behind Chelsea, which is third. Manchester City are two points ahead of Manchester United and four points behind Manchester United.

After a week of rest, Southampton once again struck out in the league. Facing last season’s newly promoted Queen’s Park Rangers, who narrowly escaped relegation, Southampton easily defeated their opponent [-]-[-]. Benteke After opening the scoring, Vidal expanded the lead. After the opponent recovered a point, Lingard's header before the end allowed Southampton to lock the score at [-]-[-].

In this round, Manchester United encountered Waterloo. They unexpectedly lost 28-26 away to Norwich City. Chelsea continued to be in a downturn. The most glorious team in this round, they swept Aston Villa, which had already started to relegation, [-]-[-] at home, and jumped to the top of the standings with [-] points. Southampton surpassed Chelsea with [-] points and came to the third place. position.

Many pro-Chelsea and Manchester United media began to complain about Southampton's civil war insiders and outsiders. They didn't win a game in the Champions League, but every time they got angry in the Champions League, they would come back and beat their Premier League opponents. Isn't it bullying and fearing the hard?

Kiya never responded to such comments.

It’s just that the critics of the media ignored that Southampton hid several main players such as William and Mkhitaryan in the game against Queens Park Rangers, obviously accumulating energy for the Champions League.

In the next home game, except for Otamendi who was still injured and unable to play, Southampton's personnel seemed so neat for the first time.

And no player is out of shape.

The current situation of Real Madrid is actually not very good. They only scored one point against Dortmund in two games, which casts some shadow on their qualifying, and they also began to feel the huge pressure in the league. La Liga has played [-] games so far. In the round, Barcelona ranked first with eleven wins and one draw, Atletico Madrid ranked second with ten wins, one draw and one loss, and Real Madrid had eight wins, two draws and two losses. They were eight points behind Barcelona and five points behind Atletico Madrid. Pretty nasty.

After all, Real Madrid scored [-] points last season, but this season's performance has declined a bit. Even if this result is not bad at all, Mourinho has begun to bear a heavy burden.

What's more, after the third year, Mourinho's team will always have various problems.

However, after a tie with Barcelona in the eighth round, Real Madrid has recently maintained a five-match winning streak, and their state seems to have begun to improve.

"When Real Madrid are in good form in the league, they go down in the Champions League, so this is our chance...Three of their last five wins have been [-]-[-], [-]-[-], [-]-[-] and so on. The big victory shows that their state is actually a bit unstoppable... Compete with them on offense! Let us be at home and let Real Madrid know how sharp Southampton's offense is!"

Ji Ya waved his fist, and the fighting spirit of the Southampton players was also mobilized.

They were still a little worried that the boss was a little discouraged. Since the boss still showed his fighting spirit at this time, what is there to worry about?

Together with the boss, fight hard, even if you can't qualify, at least you have to win a match with Real Madrid!

Originally, the away game was two to three, and Southampton could be said to have lost quite unconvinced!

This home game is also the time for them to prove that they are no worse than Real Madrid's stars!

This is not only a proof for them, but also a proof for Ji Ya.

Although they had three draws and one loss in the four group matches, they actually lost one game, but without a single victory, it was always a useless thing.

Ji Ya doesn't want to lead his team to be out of the group stage, even if he is out, he has to leave with his head held high.

Fighting to the end and being out without aggressiveness are both out, but they are completely different!

At least, various sponsors are more willing to sponsor a team with enough ambition...

No one wants to sponsor a team that has no fighting spirit.
