I brush achievements in football

Southampton's defense is actually not that good.

After all, they always concede goals in League One. With good results recently, they also concede a goal almost every game. This is mainly related to their game tactics. They use offense more to solve opponents, but Not by defense.

But in the face of Villa's onslaught, they were able to defend-in addition to their tactical bias towards defense, another key is Villa's storming ability, which is really not good.

After attacking for more than ten minutes, Villa's offense began to slow down - this is a normal rhythm, no team can continue to attack, even if a strong team suppresses a weak team, it is rare to suppress the opponent's chance None, except for Guardiola's Barcelona in the past two years, there is no absolute advantage in the scene where a strong team beats a weak team.

You have been enjoying yourself for more than ten minutes, and when your physical fitness declines, it will be my turn to enjoy yourself—this is a normal phenomenon.

As Villa's attack slowed down, Southampton attacked immediately. After receiving the ball, Mkhitaryan took the lead and dribbled forward. Knowing that the kid had excellent breakthrough ability, Sidwell immediately went up to meet him.

However, Mkhitaryan broke through when he went up. The Armenian is not fast, but he has excellent skills at his feet, strong combination of man and ball, and excellent ability to quickly change direction and get rid of. Unfamiliar opponents want to quickly It is too difficult to adapt to his breakthrough rhythm.

There was no way Sidwell knew him well.

So after a face-to-face meeting, Mkhitaryan lost his center of gravity through continuous shaking, and then broke through him!

After a successful breakthrough, Mkhitaryan began to take the ball forward. He is now extremely confident in his breakthrough ability. He has also encountered several Premier League teams. No one can stop his breakthrough!

However, the next moment, his inflated self-confidence began to be curbed.

Milner rushed over from the side without saying a word, and then wrapped him around.

As soon as Milner entangled him, Mkhitaryan began to feel the pressure. Milner is actually an offensive player, but his running ability and tenacious confrontation ability allow him to show excellent defense. state!

"I remember Milner as an offensive player, why is he so good at defending?" Ji Ya asked Benelli a little puzzled.

Benelli has nothing else to do, but he is still very strong in this aspect: "He was indeed an attacker when he first debuted in Leeds, but he has excellent physical fitness, strong running ability and strong confrontation ability. Hit them all, very comprehensive."

Ji Ya stroked his chin thoughtfully: "A player like this should go to a wealthy family."

Benelli laughed. This is true. This kind of player may not be the main player, but he can play in any position. A substitute would be useful.

"It's a pity we can't afford it. Alas, if we are a Premier League team now, whether it is him or the previous Henderson, I must take it as soon as possible. They, like our Walton, can be used in midfield. The kind of player with a backbone." Ji Ya sighed.

Benelli shrugged his shoulders, Kiya's words were not wrong at all, and they were useless at all...

On the court, Mkhitaryan saw that he could not pass the opponent, so he immediately stopped, dodged a gap, and passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Lallana found that there was no gap to use, so he could only turn around and pass the ball back.

Southampton took advantage of the situation and entered the positional battle.

The positional battle against Southampton is slightly stronger. After all, the impact of their two powerful centers in the penalty area is still very good.

Villa's two central defenders are old fritters in the Premier League, but in terms of physical confrontation, they seem to be a bit worse-in fact, they are not bad, but facing a center forward who is 1.8 meters 1.9 and a [-] meters , the two of them are really struggling.

However, with the support of their teammates, they persisted.

In the rest of the first half, the two sides began to see-saw constantly, and there was not much to do with each other, but after all, Southampton was leading, which also made the Southampton players play more calmly on the field .

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Southampton fans gave a huge cheer. Among other things, the new Southampton played against three consecutive Premier League teams in the League Cup. , It has indeed exceeded their expectations!

Not to mention after relegation, even in the Premier League, Southampton rarely performed so well in a row in cup games.

After all, Southampton has indeed always been just a mid-range team, with few outstanding performances.

Especially after Le Tissier retired, Southampton lost a flash point.

It is a bit difficult for a team without a breaking point to win consecutive victories.

But under the leadership of Ji Ya, they have such outstanding performances in the League Cup. How can they not make the fans feel happy?

Even if this game is not won in the end, the fans will not have any opinions!

bah bah bah.

Many fans thought of this, and quickly poohed a few times.

We must win this game, and if we win, we will enter the quarter-finals of the League Cup!

"We were more stable in the second half. We must know that this kind of game is also a good training opportunity for us, allowing us to feel the level of the top team in advance. This is an experience that money can't buy... A stable midfield, and They entangle and score again when they have the chance!"

Ji Ya said in the locker room that of course he was not just talking about it, but also prepared a backup for Villa to change. After all, both Carew and Heskey may play. With a center forward on the field, it will be more defensive. It's a little harder.

But in the same way, when the center forward plays, Villa's midfield or backcourt strength will be weakened, which will also be an opportunity for Southampton.

After the tactical ability has improved to a certain level, Ji Ya has considered these things quite clearly.

The previous four consecutive draws were not in vain.

McLeish has no other way, he can only send Carew to increase the strength of the center to put more pressure on Southampton's defense.

But in this way, after the midfielder Sidwell is replaced, there are only two midfielders, Milner and Koke, who are better at attacking, and Sidwell is the only defensive force in the midfield. , In the second half of the game, Aston Villa's midfield began to lose balance.

The mentality was a bit out of balance, and the game began to be out of balance, which immediately made it difficult for Villa to move forward in the second half!

It is difficult for them to gain an advantage in the midfield, and they can only continue to attack through the wing. The battle of Southampton's defense began like this.
