After FIFA's matchday, the Premier League reignited.

Southampton faced the middle and lower reaches of Burnley in this round. Ji Ya rotated some players in the game, but Southampton still easily defeated their opponents at home.

Du Yue opened the scoring again for Southampton. Shortly after the start of the second half, Dembele expanded the score. After the opponent pulled back a point, Coutinho's breakthrough created a penalty. Du Yue came to take the penalty, and then he Easy overnight, the ball into the gate!

After Lukaku left, Ji Ya selected a penalty shooter in the team, and then he was shocked to find that the most stable penalty kick was not De Bruyne, but Du Yue...

Now this penalty kick proves that Du Yue's penalty kick level is indeed not low.

However, Manchester City suffered two consecutive draws. They played [-]-[-] with Everton at home. Guardiola's tactics began to encounter huge resistance and pressure after the advantage in the initial stage.

As a result, Southampton jumped to the top with [-] points, Manchester City came in second with [-] points, and Arsenal, who have won consecutive victories recently, caught up. Their points also reached [-] points, and Tottenham [-] points. Eight, Liverpool seventeen, Chelsea sixteen, Everton fifteen, Manchester United fourteen...

The intensity of the league this season can be seen.

"It's a strong league, so every win is very important... we need to give our all in all games. Unbeaten record? It's early, the season has just started and we are still close to Arsenal's record. It's a long time to get close, and until it's close, it's too early to say anything."

Facing the situation of jumping to the top of the standings, Ji Ya seemed very humble, but this is true. This season, the performances of the strong teams and even the middle and lower teams have been much more tenacious. Every victory seems very difficult. Of course, this kind of difficulty is the same for all strong teams. They will face a situation that is more difficult to grab points than before. Whoever can have an effective set of tactics for grabbing points will be able to dominate this season. opportunity.

After this game, Southampton will go to Lisbon to challenge Sporting Lisbon away. Of course, this game is very important. If they can beat their opponents away, Southampton can have more advantages.

For this reason, Ji Ya also rotated De Bruyne in the league, just to make him appear in the Champions League in the best condition.

Although the league is more important this season, some important games in the Champions League are equally important.

For Sporting Lisbon, if they want to qualify from this group, they must score at least three points in the two games against Southampton, otherwise, they will not have another chance.

Get three points on Southampton, try to get Real Madrid out of the league early, let them go, and then stop Southampton... This is their chance.

Although it seems that the conditions are very harsh, as long as they can get three points from Southampton, then they really still have a great chance.

Because if Real Madrid have a chance to keep Southampton out of the knockout rounds, they will definitely do it.

And their strength is not bad, otherwise Real Madrid would not have almost lost to them at home in the first round.

In any case, it is also a strong team in Portugal. Although the Portuguese Super League is not in the four major leagues, it is not far behind Ligue [-].

This was the unanimous thought of Sporting Lisbon before the start of the game.

In this game, Ji Ya sent all the main players to the field, and then the opponent saw the strength of the members who won the Champions Cup for three consecutive times.

Sporting Lisbon continued to attack after the opening, ready to give Southampton a good look. Their offense is still relatively sharp. They are constantly attacking, looking for opportunities from both wings, and suppressing the assists of Southampton's two full-backs. .

However, although Southampton does not have Lukaku, they are now going to fight back, which is even sharper.

After a few minutes of Sporting Lisbon's attack, Southampton came back with a lightning strike.

De Bruyne made a through pass in the midfield, Du Yue accelerated forward, threw off the central defender marking him while running, then caught up with the ball, and calmly pushed the far corner in front of the attacking goalkeeper!

One to zero, Southampton's first attack scored a goal!

This lightning-fast goal made the Sporting Lisbon players a little confused, and their next attack was a little affected-they were hit in the head by Southampton, and they really took the blow.

Southampton, on the other hand, defended the midfield and continued to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

DePaul, who started the game, expanded his lead in the No. 40 minute. In the frontcourt press, he cut off the ball at the opponent's feet, and then dribbled the ball forward. Du Yue Dembele and others ran The movement attracted the opponent's attention. Seeing that no one came up to defend him for a while, DePaul advanced to a place more than 20 meters away from the goal. After making a slight adjustment, he resolutely kicked and shot!

The ball roared into the dead corner of the goal, and the quality of DePaul's long-range shot was quite high!

After leading by two goals, Southampton began to control the rhythm of the game with ease. After all, in the away game, it is enough to win, and there is no need to be too tired.

In the second half, Southampton's counterattack frequently created opportunities. In the end, Du Yue's pass allowed Dembele and Coutinho to complete a beautiful cooperation. Dembele passed the ball into the penalty area after passing the two on the wing. , Coutinho followed up with a push and scored from a near corner, locking the score at [-]-[-].

Another hearty victory!

In another game, Real Madrid defeated their opponents [-]-[-] at home. After three rounds, Southampton and Real Madrid both scored seven points, Sporting Lisbon three points, and Legia Warsaw came last with zero points. Grade, seems to be quite balanced.

"If we beat Sporting Lisbon at home in the next round, we will qualify two rounds ahead of schedule... How should I put it, we will definitely work hard to achieve this." Ji Ya said at the press conference after the game.

His words made the Portuguese locals very depressed, but they couldn't refute, after all, what Ji Ya said was too true.

People are just stating the facts, not despising them.

For Southampton, qualifying two rounds early is quite beneficial to their tactics and adjustments, and after defeating Sporting Lisbon in the away game, the possibility of them doing this is already quite high!

Unless Sporting Lisbon can beat Southampton away in the next round, it is best to win more than three goals, so that they can have an advantage in the case of the same points...

is it possible?

Even the most die-hard Sporting Lisbon fans may not be able to say this with certainty.

So they can only blame UEFA for putting them in such a death group.

To be in a group with Real Madrid Southampton is death.
