I brush achievements in football

The rhetoric has been shouted out, but it is still very difficult for them to continue to advance in the remaining four competitions.

Now after fifteen rounds of the league, Southampton has scored 36 points, which is not a bad rate of grabbing points. However, in the league, Manchester United has now scored 33 points, Manchester City also has 26 points, leading Southampton by six points and Three points, but now Southampton's third position is still very stable. Chelsea has slipped to fourth with [-] points. After falling from the first position, they started to slide like crazy.

DiMatteo was indeed unsteady.

So he has been fired by Chelsea, and the tactician Benitez who is at home has picked up the pointer, but at this time Chelsea have already been eliminated from the Champions League group stage, and they were even eliminated earlier than Southampton.

And Benitez is not a fairy. After he came up, the league suffered consecutive victories, and he lost the Club World Cup. At least from the current point of view, they can't attack the championship for the time being.

The top three of last season continue to be the most powerful contenders for the league title.

After returning to the league, Southampton will play at home against Reading, which is fighting for relegation, in the next round of the league. The Manchester duo will fight each other. This is of course good news for Southampton. You can find opportunities to catch up with one, or narrow the gap.

Reading is not an easy team to deal with. They run aggressively and play fiercely. The massacre against Chelsea is an example. However, Ji Ya adopted more technical tactics for this game, through running and passing. Tear open the opponent's line of defense, and finally won the game without bloodshed. After consecutive passes, Mkhitaryan, Ronaldo and Benteke each scored a goal in the game, and Southampton won the opponent [-]-[-].

Then they can comfortably wait for the news of the Manchester derby. Finally, in this game, the seasoned Ferguson was superior. He led the team to beat Manchester City [-]-[-] in the away game. Rooney scored twice and Van Persie ended The previous lore made the goals of Toure and Zabaleta useless!

In this way, Southampton tied Manchester City's points with 33 points, and relying on the advantage of three goal differences, beat Manchester City to become the second in the league!

"In this way, we can only chase one opponent." Kiya said at the team meeting.

The Southampton players laughed at the same time, thinking that the boss is really good at telling jokes.

But Ji Ya really didn't think he was joking. Manchester City obviously didn't have the momentum of last season this year. On the contrary, it was Ferguson who broke out his final fighting spirit in his last season!

"Wouldn't it be too much to let him not win the Premier League title in the last season? It's okay. Anyway, Manchester United is now the team with the most league titles, one more than Liverpool. He has succeeded."

Ji Ya was yelling in his heart, but in the next round, it seemed to prove that it was too early for him to win the league championship.

In the next round of the league, Southampton challenged Chelsea away. Under Benitez's command, Chelsea's combat effectiveness has now recovered a bit. They relied on the goals of Hazard and Demba Ba in the first half. The ball took the lead, and Southampton launched a crazy press and impact in the second half. Benteke beat Cahill with a header and blew the horn of Southampton's counterattack. In the rest of the time, Mkhitaryan After a beautiful breakthrough, he suddenly kicked the goal and equalized the score for Southampton.

The final score of this game was two to two. Although Southampton did not lose the game, they slipped to third place again after the Manchester duo won.

This draw only consolidated their No.3 status.

"Don't worry, Manchester United has won many games in a row. Their current state is also at the end of their strength, and we will get better and better."

Ji Ya used this method to cheer up the players, Christmas is coming soon, and the following games are also quite intensive...

On December [-]th, in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Southampton played against Chelsea at home. This was their second consecutive game against Chelsea.

On December 23, the No.18 round played against Sunderland at home.

On December 27th, the No.19 round played away against Fulham.

On December 20, the No.[-] round played away against Stoke City.

On January 20nd, the No.[-] round played against Arsenal at home.

The third round of the FA Cup on January [-] - Southampton can't breathe a sigh of relief until this time, because their opponent in this game is Chelsea again...

Looking at this schedule, you will know how intensive the games Southampton will face next.

Playing six games in [-] days, this is not the rhythm of double matches a week, but the rhythm of tm's three games a week.

However, Ji Ya didn't have much opinion on this, because Chelsea had to work harder than them, because they had just played in the Club World Cup and lost the game...

Under such circumstances, they have to play three games against Southampton in a short period of time, which really puts them under a lot of pressure.

In the last league game, Chelsea had a dangerous draw. In the second half, Southampton had an absolute advantage in physical fitness. If it wasn't for luck, they would have lost that game.

Immediately after this game at the St. Mary's Stadium, Benitez was also under great pressure.

He had to rotate some players, goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Luiz, teenager Bertrand as left back, Lampard and Oscar as double midfielders, three frontcourt The attackers are Moses, Marin and Mata, and Torres is alone. Moses, Marin, Torres, Lampard, Bertrand and Ivanovic are all substitutes, which means that Chelsea has a solid foundation.

Ji Ya has also rotated a lot of players. Recently, almost all the main players have played, and he is a little tired. In the next few days, he must rotate - goalkeeper Keylor Navas, defenders Jenkinson, Chambers, Fonte , Luke Shaw, because Matuidi has been a little too tired recently in the midfield, so Ji Ya sent Wharton, the old captain seems to be in good physical fitness recently.

The other two midfielders are Drinkwater and Vidal, and forwards Nolito, Austin and Willian.

Such a lineup also rotates six people. For Ji Ya, in this game, he also has to prove that Southampton's substitute is no worse than Chelsea.

Benitez didn't exchange pleasantries with Ji Ya. The tactical master has been miserable in recent years. Although he has mixed with many wealthy families, he has hardly coached even a full season. Now coaching Chelsea is also a good thing for him. Opportunity, otherwise he would really be a bastard living off his past fame.

It is also very miserable for a famous coach to get old. Saying no is like suddenly failing, and the rich and powerful have no place for them anymore.
