I brush achievements in football

Southampton won the Club World Cup with two almost easy victories, which made them unanimously praised by the English media. After all, the previous Premier League teams participated in the Club World Cup four times and returned three times. It makes the British sports reporters who have been clamoring that the Premier League is the world's first league feel a little embarrassed.

And now, Southampton's victory can be regarded as an embarrassment to them.

The Southampton club also held a grand celebration ceremony. Tens of thousands of Southampton fans saw the Club World Cup trophy at St. Mary's Stadium, as well as Suarez's Club World Cup best player and The trophy for the top scorer, the whole atmosphere is quite warm.

In the next league, their performance is also quite good.

In the first game after Christmas, Southampton challenged Crystal Palace away. Because they participated in the Club World Cup, this game was scheduled to be played at the end of this round, and the previous games have already been played.

Chelsea defeated West Ham United 42-35 at home. After playing two more rounds, they have already led Southampton by [-] points. The Manchester duo have not been idle during this time. Scored [-] points, eight points ahead of Southampton, and Manchester United also had [-] points, one point ahead of Southampton...

Of course, they both played two extra games.

But this is already a lot of pressure for Southampton.

It had always been second before, but now it has slipped to fourth. Although they missed two games, it doesn't mean that they will definitely be able to score six points in these two games.

Otherwise, there are still [-] rounds in the league, so they will definitely get [-] points?

It is possible to get the points, and the points have already been obtained, which are two different things.

Moreover, they have just won the Club World Cup, and they are not in the best condition or physical fitness. Under such circumstances, they challenge Crystal Palace away to relegation, and capsized in the gutter is also a high probability event...

It is also a surprising thing that the media who just praised them for their glory for the Premier League in the Club World Cup immediately began to look down on Southampton's performance in the league.

Kiya sent a mixed lineup in this game. Among the main players, only Mane, Vardy, Coutinho, Casemiro, Otamendi, Cancelo and Gulac continued to play. Dembele, Prouss, Rudiger, and Peters were rotated in positions, but their performance on the field still suppressed each other.

Although Prowse's organization in the midfield is not as good as that of De Bruyne, but when facing the Crystal Palace, his passing is quite good, and Dembele relies on speed to constantly create opportunities. Vardy, who didn't play in the two games of the Club World Cup, is in good physical fitness and condition, and is extremely eager to play!

In just 8 minutes of the opening, Mane received Dembele's wide-ranging transfer ball and broke into the penalty area, and then passed the ball to the middle. Vardy occupied the front position, and the ball was just a kick!

The ball flew into the gate quickly, and Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni couldn't even make a save, so he could only turn his head and watch the ball fly into the gate helplessly!

Vardy waved his fist. He has not scored in two consecutive rounds before, and he did not play in the two games of the Club World Cup, so the last time he scored a goal can be traced back to the No.14 round in early December. After scoring this goal, Vardy's slightly depressed mood got the best comfort!

Before the end of the first half, Southampton played a beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt. Vardy retreated to get the ball, and then made the ball to Coutinho. Coutinho sent a beautiful oblique pass and went forward from the left. The assisted Alonso broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball, and decisively kicked the goal from a small angle!

The ball flew to the far corner of the goal, the opponent's goalkeeper couldn't make a save, and Alonso scored his first goal since joining Southampton in more than a year!

Although he is an assisting full-back, he doesn't shoot many shots himself. Alonso is also quite excited to score this time.

Southampton, who led by two goals in the first half, scored another goal shortly after the start of the second half. De Bruyne took a corner kick. The third goal of the game.

This game that was played up by the media as "Southampton is likely to capsize in the gutter" was won by Southampton without any suspense. Although Crystal Palace recovered one point in the following time, Southampton still had three Bi Yi won the game, overtook Manchester United and returned to the third position, returning to eight points behind Chelsea, and had one less game.

Two days later, on December 28, Southampton will welcome Chelsea at home.

This is a good opportunity for Southampton to narrow the points gap, and for Chelsea, it is also a good opportunity to get rid of their opponents.

After all, if they can defeat Southampton and expand their lead to eleven points again, it will be very difficult for Southampton to catch up.

Don't look at half the time in the league, if Chelsea can beat Southampton, then their results in the first half of the season can be said to be quite brilliant, and they will maintain an unbeaten record against strong teams. The only defeat was a capsize in the gutter on Newcastle, and a good record against strong teams and a stable ability to grab points against weak teams is enough to make Chelsea the league champion this season.

"We are ready. Against Chelsea, we will work hard to win...Chelsea has performed very well this season, but we are very happy to be the first team to beat Chelsea." Kiya said in an interview.

Mourinho also looked very imposing: "Want to beat Chelsea? This is indeed a difficult thing. Chelsea has reached a perfect state under my leadership this season, and no one can stop us The pace of progress, Southampton has indeed performed very well in the past two seasons, but this season, it is time for the state to decline. We have a very strong team, and we will definitely let Southampton know what Chelsea's offense is. "

The head coaches of both sides have put harsh words in the media, which also made many reporters look forward to this game.

The two top coaches are finally starting to confront each other head-on. This is of course something to look forward to.

Needless to say, Mourinho, he has always been a personality coach, and Ji Ya is a young coach who has risen in the past two years. Although he seemed very humble before, in recent years, Ji Ya has also begun to show his sharpness.

Although it wasn't the first time the two had fought against each other, it seemed to be the first time they had fought against each other under such circumstances.

Really looking forward to this game, will they fight?

Almost all journalists are looking forward to this.
