Chapter 421 Couldn't Be Better

During the halftime break, Ji Ya praised Suarez's performance - although Suarez didn't score in the first half, he was the focus of marking, but he drew a lot of attention from the opponent's two central defenders, otherwise he would have Nei and Lukaku won't get as much space either.

Now Southampton's offense is strong because of this. They have top shooters, and if the shooters are marked, others can stand up immediately. Basically, all players in the frontcourt have the ability to score and break through. , and Coutinho was close to breaking through, but as long as he has space to hold the ball, he can create a threat.

Under such circumstances, their two full-backs have thoroughly developed their offensive strengths, and their defensive deficiencies have been well compensated, because they have more advantages in possession, so in such a situation , they can focus on offense.

At this time, Juventus made things worse again.

Pogba was injured in the first half, and he persevered at that time, but it was obvious that he couldn't hold on during the intermission. In desperation, Allegri replaced him with Barzagli and changed to a three-back. The two full-backs stepped up to the wing position and continued to strengthen the attack.

There is nothing wrong with playing three backs for Juventus. In the past few seasons, under the leadership of Conte, they played three backs. Now it is nothing more than changing to a lineup they are more familiar with.

But in this way, the gap in their defense line becomes even bigger.

Although the three central defenders are all very strong, without the protection of the midfield, no matter how strong the central defender is, they can't stand up.

10 minutes after the start of the second half, Mane made a breakthrough on the left. He broke through and passed back near the bottom line. Suarez ran past him, but he also attracted Bonucci, and Coutinho followed up. The ball, shot directly, and blasted the ball into the Juventus gate for the third time!

Three to one, Southampton expanded its lead and led the total score by three goals-the next situation for Juventus is clear, as long as they can score three in the next time and do not let Southampton Another goal, then they can knock out Southampton...

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is too rare to happen.

After all, Southampton is not a fool, just watching them score goals.

After a desperate attack, Juventus finally recovered a point in the No.703 minute. Pogba took the ball in the middle and sent an overhead ball. Carlos Tevez, who went forward, successfully broke into the penalty area and then crossed to the other side. Morata, who followed up, shot directly without stopping the ball and scored the ball into the dead corner of the goal!

However, this goal only kept their hope alive for a while. In the No.801 minute, Cancelo forced a breakthrough from the right and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Suarez, who had been looking for an opportunity, finally found a chance. Seeing the ball rolled out, he directly volleyed and scored, completely sealing the victory for Southampton!

Four to two, the total score of the two rounds was seven to four, and Southampton advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

Poor Allegri, although he led the team to the knockout stage of the Champions League and surpassed his predecessor Conte, it is a pity that he ran into Kiya and his Southampton...

Otherwise, they have the opportunity to go further.

After winning this game, the Southampton fans were elated, because in the other two games, the other two Premier League teams were wiped out!

Chelsea drew [-]-[-] at home against Paris Saint-Germain and went into extra time, although Eden Hazard gave Chelsea the lead again, but Thiago Silva was in the latter game Once again equalized the score, Chelsea was powerless in the following games and could only accept the result of conceding more goals at home and losing...

Manchester City was even worse. They fell behind [-]-[-] at home in the first round, lost [-]-[-] again in the second round away, and finally lost [-]-[-] in two rounds.

In this way, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Southampton actually became the last only seedling in the Premier League...

All of a sudden, the British media began to complain about the poor performance of the Premier League team in the European arena. After all, after Manchester United's outstanding performance, the Premier League team is actually a bit ashamed. Chelsea won the championship because of luck. Southampton are on the rise and they may be worse in the Champions League.

Compared with the world's No. [-] league they have been boasting about, the gap seems a bit big.

However, their praise of Southampton also gave Ji Ya a bit of a headache.

"Damn, the Champions League is more important, but in this way, those guys will focus on the league. We want to win three consecutive championships, and it will be difficult now." Ji Ya said to Benelli complained.

Benelli nodded sympathetically. Now Southampton is five points behind Chelsea in the league. After Chelsea is out of the Champions League, they must fight hard in the league. From this point of view, Southampton wants to complete the Premier League. Three consecutive championships, the difficulty is really not ordinary.

"Let's play one game at a time. Anyway, even if we fail to win the league championship in the end, we can still despise them." Ji Ya finally said.

Thinking that after Mourinho won the league championship, Ji Ya would say "you took advantage of us because we focused on winning the Premier League", Benelli couldn't help laughing.

"Smash them first, and then we can prove our strength!" Ji Ya waved his fist and said to the players.

The players also responded enthusiastically.

Although they looked very tired just after a Champions League match, meeting Chelsea at this time is considered a good schedule.

After all, after a while, when Southampton and the next opponents in the Champions League are shopping, it will be really difficult to meet Chelsea.

Southampton's next opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, which eliminated Chelsea.

Although Ji Ya knew that even if Southampton beat Chelsea this round, it would still be difficult for them to win the league championship this season, after all, they must be distracted in the Champions League.

But as long as they beat Chelsea under such circumstances, and then eliminate Paris Saint-Germain, it is enough to prove that Southampton's strength exceeds Chelsea.

Even if Mourinho wins the league championship, he will be very upset.

For Kiya, it is enough to make a famous coach like Mourinho feel embarrassed. It is enough to make his reputation even bigger.

To put it bluntly, Ji Ya's reputation is now equal to Southampton's reputation. If he can gain some upper hand in collisions with famous coaches, his reputation with Southampton will rise in the same way.

So meeting the same tired Chelsea at this time, it can be said that it couldn't be better!
