"We did a good job in the first half! But in the second half, Conte should have noticed his mistakes. Their three-four-three lineup is good at attacking rather than defending, so they will suppress us fiercely in the second half... In this way Under the circumstances, we don’t need to fight them head-on, understand? Kill them with a counterattack, their defense is not particularly fast, we can kill them with flexible tactics.” Ji Ya said in the locker room .

The players nodded one after another. Indeed, for Chelsea, they can only maintain their advantages by pressing the offense. Then Southampton will play much easier.

The intermission time passed quickly, and when players from both sides came out one after another, the Southampton fans in the stands happened to have almost rested, and they shouted loudly.

"Actually, Conte's tactic is a bit interesting. It can be said that the power of the overall offense has been brought into full play." Ji Ya sat in his position and said to Benelli, covering his mouth.

"Some of their players have excellent individual characteristics, and they are even better when combined. With players like Costa and Hazard who have excellent personal abilities, the offense can be compared with ours." Benelli nodded .

"Yes, it's a pity that our offense is still more comprehensive. They can only rely on Costa in the counterattack, and our two central defenders can control Costa's personal counterattack very well, so they can only rely on Costa's counterattack. Press the attack." Ji Ya laughed.

The players on the Southampton bench also nodded. Ji Ya's words were on point. After all, compared with Southampton, Chelsea's counterattack can only rely on personal strength, and in the process, Costa He is the one who can create the most threats, but under the marking of Van Dijk, who is not inferior to him in speed, strength and height, and even better, it is difficult for Costa's counterattack to be effective.

Under Van Dijk's concentrated marking, Costa couldn't even get the ball.

Therefore, Moses and Hazard could only create threats through personal breakthroughs.

Only when the overall offense can Costa's role can be fully exerted.

He is a top striker, and he is quite perfect. This season is also the peak of his state, but he still can't solve the problem alone.

After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to launch a continuous suppression attack.

Cancelo's cross from the right reached the penalty area. Du Yue jumped up and shot a feint. Prouse, who was inserted in the back row, shook his head and attacked the goal.

"Their midfield moves are very frequent. Damn, why is Ji Ya so clear about my tactical weaknesses." Conte thought a little annoyed.

Whether it's pressing in the middle to force Chelsea's two wings to recover, or constantly rushing forward through the midfield to grab points in the penalty area, hitting Chelsea's two weak points with average heights can be said to have hit Chelsea's weakness. How could it not be It made Conte feel uncomfortable.

But Chelsea also soon began a violent attack.

Alonso made a long pass directly to the front, Costa headed the ball into the penalty area, and then accelerated himself to catch up with the ball. Maguire entangled with him and interfered with Costa with his strong body. Kos Ta still caught up with the ball, but he had exhausted his strength, and his next shot missed the near post.

"Nice job." Ji Ya gave a thumbs up to the field. He is quite satisfied with the team's defense so far.

Under such circumstances, being able to continuously resist the opponent's attack is a very good thing in itself.

Resist an attack from the opponent, and your own attack will have more chances to score goals.

Seeing that his offense was a bit out of control, Conte made the first substitution. Willian came on and replaced Pedro. The Brazilian quickly created a chance after he came on the field. Hit hard on the side netting.

The applause from the Southampton fans, who will not forget Willian's stellar seasons at Southampton, was also applauded by the Chelsea fans when Mourinho bought three players from Southampton , not to mention spending a lot of money, but also took De Bruyne and Lukaku. As a result, among the three people bought at that time, William has always performed well, and Matuidi has some ups and downs in the back, but Fortunately, it was not too bad to go to Paris at a high price, but it was Benteke who made Chelsea almost lose their pants...

In comparison, William is so pretty.

"Now they are full of players who are good at personal offense in the frontcourt, and Conte is still afraid of our offense." Benali said.

Ji Ya nodded slightly, but he didn't care too much. It is still difficult to break through Southampton's gate with a personal counterattack. The main thing to be afraid of is the opponent's overall attack.

Of course, the most important thing is that your team must score first.

Ji Ya doesn't feel that his players need him to worry too much about this.

The same is true.

In the 5 minutes of the game, Southampton's frontcourt attack once again played a wonderful cooperation.

Matic passed the ball near the middle circle in the backcourt. After Du Yue took the ball, he faced Fabregas who rushed to defend and completed a beautiful breakthrough. He shook continuously, got rid of Xiaofa, and then started Continue to move forward with the ball.

His forward movement attracted enough defensive attention, and then Du Yue crossed the ball to Prowse who was responding. Suddenly kicked and sent a beautiful over-the-head ball!

"Prowse's precise long pass!"

In the chanting of the commentator, Prowse passed the ball across Chelsea's entire defense, and the running of Dembele and Coutinho also made Chelsea's defense somewhat at a loss. De Bruyne who went forward The anti-offside was successful, and then he raised his foot to unload the ball. While unloading the ball, he made a fake shot. After Courtois shifted his center of gravity, De Bruyne really kicked and shot long. horn……

Courtois, who was completely unable to reverse the direction, could only half kneel on the ground, helplessly watching the ball fly into the gate he was guarding!

As expected of a teammate of the national team, he was completely familiar with his own reaction, then deceived himself with a fake move, and then scored a goal...

Amid Courtois' sighs, De Bruyne sprinted behind the goal and pumped his fist into the stands.

The Southampton fans responded to him frantically. They supported the core, the captain, the top card. In their view, De Bruyne, who can stay forever, is their well-deserved captain!

After all, what Ji Ya gave was top-notch treatment.

Now De Bruyne's weekly salary is 30 pounds. This figure is not inferior to any top player, and it will gradually improve. With the addition of the captain's armband and tactical status, Ji Ya has given everything he can to De Bruyne. of.

And De Bruyne himself is not a very demanding player. He played happily in Southampton and earned no less than other places, so that is enough.
