Chapter 409 Can't Lose to Manchester United Again

"That Kane performed so well, with two goals and two assists, he directly broke Chelsea's defense... Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Tottenham to have such a young player." Benelli said.

"Yeah, he has completely put those two center forwards on the bench. He has scored five goals in the last five Premier League games. He has scored [-] goals in all competitions this season. He is a rising star." Ji Ya sighed.

In fact, he has observed Kane for a while. Unfortunately, last season, Southampton wanted a mature center forward. This summer, Ji Ya also tried to introduce Kane, and even wanted to pack with Walker. It's a pity that Tottenham rejected his request, and offered Walker a sky-high price of 3000 million pounds, and the price offered to Kane was 4000 million pounds. Although Southampton made a lot of money this summer, they have to leave it to Ji Ya is really reluctant to spend so much money on two local players for the club to repair the stadium.

If Barcelona had started on Suarez earlier, Ji Ya might have sold Suarez for 7000 million pounds, and then bought Kane to train him.

It is a pity that Kane has completely established himself in Tottenham, and it will be very difficult to dig him next.

But soon Ji Ya let it go. It is impossible for him to buy all the good players, especially the position of center forward. Southampton now has three top center forwards, and there is a promising Du Yue outside. With Kane coming, there may not be a place for him.

So after thinking about it... Ji Ya is relieved!

After winning this game, there will be the third round of the FA Cup, and then a one-week rest period. Before that, the Premier League teams played three league games in just five days, so they have to take a rest, otherwise It's just too cruel.

So although it seems that Southampton can make a make-up match this week, there is actually no reason to make a make-up match here, and the pressure is too great.

Southampton's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup was Ipswich Town. Facing this low-level league team, Ji Ya sent all the substitutes as usual. Wundt, who returned from injury, played the whole game. The state is recovering well.

In fact, Wundt is less than 32 years old now, far from being very old, and it is not difficult to recover after recovering from injury.

In this game, Southampton finally beat their opponents [-]-[-]. The veteran Klose, who hadn't played for a long time, scored the only goal of the game. Southampton continued to go hand in hand in all competitions.

"In the first half of the season, we once lost to Manchester United at home... That can be said to be an accident, but accidents can only happen once. Although Manchester United is now ranked fourth, their overall strength is still comparable to ours. The gap between... Yes, this game will be played at Old Trafford, but what happened to Old Trafford? The magic of Manchester United is mainly tied to Ferguson, not every player. What magic, after Ferguson retired, this magic has gradually dissipated, but if we still lose to Manchester United, it will be a shame for us as a strong team! In the next game, we want to win, we You can't have a team take the lead in two rounds in one season!"

Ji Ya waved his fist and shouted in the locker room. He basically only did one thing this week, which was to inspire the fighting spirit of the players and let them strive to win this game.

You must know that in the standings, Southampton is no longer the number one contender for the championship. On the contrary, they have become competitors with Manchester United...

Both Chelsea and Manchester City now have 46 points. Manchester City's recent good form has allowed them to tie Chelsea's points, while Southampton has 41 points in one less game and Manchester United has 37 points.

If Southampton loses to Manchester United in this game, then their third position is a bit dangerous. On the contrary, if Southampton beats Manchester United away, then they can lead Manchester United by seven points, allowing Manchester United to basically leave the championship. ranks.

It is of course very important to be able to kick an opponent away in advance.

What's more, this round of Chelsea will face Newcastle, the only team that let them lose in the first half of the season, and Manchester City will challenge Everton, which is strong, in an away game, which is also a good opportunity for Southampton.

So after a break, Kiya sent his strongest lineup, goalkeeper Gulacci, defenders Cancelo, Alonso, Otamendi, Bailey, midfielder Casemiro, De Bruyne, Coutinho, forwards Mane, Vardy, Lukaku, Suarez sit on the bench, and the captain's armband is worn on De Bruyne's arm.

Van Gaal sent a three-four-two-one lineup, or strictly speaking, three-four-three, goalkeeper De Gea, three central defenders, Phil Jones and Blind on both sides, Smalling in the middle, midfielder On both sides are Valencia and Luke? Shaw, in the middle are Rooney and Carrick, who have changed to midfield. In front of them are Di Maria and Mata, who are attacking midfielders and wingers. Van Persie is alone.

This lineup is still very gorgeous, but after Ji Ya took a look at it, he felt that this was a change made by Van Gaal out of desperation...

Rooney played in the midfield to let him and Van Persie play at the same time, but in his tactics, he can only have a single forward, so Rooney can only play in the midfield aggrieved. Mata and Di Maria are both very good However, their offensive role on the wing will be replaced by two full-backs. As for Blind playing left center back, it is nothing. He is also suitable for such a role, but Luke? He is placed in the position of left-wing back, which is not really suitable for Luke Shaw. Luke Shaw is still more suitable for playing left-back, but now Southampton's left-back Alonso is more suitable for the position of left-wing back.

Since the opponent lacks control in the midfield, and the side has overlapping roles, it is difficult to make up for the shortcomings of the three central defenders and two flanks. If Ji Ya doesn't make good use of this point, then he is really a fool.

Therefore, his requirement for this game is that the midfielder must control the ball, and the two wings attack from the two ribs, attracting the opponent's full-backs, and then hitting behind them.

There must be places that the three backs can't cover. It is not enough to rely on the midfielder to cover the position. What's more, Carrick is the only midfielder who is really capable of defending. He is not young and his condition is declining.

It's just that Manchester United's midfielder still has defensive ability, and the others on the bench, Fellaini?That guy is too big, and his role is mainly on offense.Herrera?That is a Spanish midfielder who is good at organizing and distributing the ball. Defense is not his strong point, Mkhitaryan?That's a pure midfielder...
