I brush achievements in football

In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Southampton and Real Madrid both sent a lot of substitutes.

Of course, it is not exaggerated to the point of letting young players like Sancho Alvarez play, but the substitutes did play a lot, such as Southampton's Peters, Rudiger, Grealish and others all played. Real Madrid also sent a lot of substitutes, BBC only played Benzema, and both Ronaldo and Bell were rotated.

Benzema scored twice in the first half and helped Real Madrid lead Southampton 80-[-]. However, Southampton launched a counterattack in the second half. Du Yue scored first and blew the horn of counterattack. No. In the [-]th minute, Dembele passed Danilo and Pepe consecutively in the penalty area, and then scored a shot from a close angle to equalize the score!

In the end, the score of this game was [-]-[-]. The two sides were tied in both rounds, and Southampton won the first place in this group with a two-point advantage!

In another game, Legia Warsaw seized the last chance. They beat Sporting Lisbon [-]-[-] at home. While winning the first victory of this Champions Cup, they also beat Sporting Lisbon with [-] points. Qualified for the Europa League!

I have to say that the performance of this Polish team is indeed inspirational.

After a three-game losing streak, they were able to draw Real Madrid [-]-[-] at home, and then defeated Sporting Lisbon in the last game. This proves that they still have good strength, but they are not suitable for the rhythm of the Champions League. , if they are given a chance, they may be able to achieve better performance in the next time.

After playing this game, Kiya returned to Southampton with his main players, while Benelli flew to Japan in advance with a group of substitutes-this is also the practice of Southampton, the substitutes play half In the finals, the main players will be reserved for the finals.

Anyway, the opponents in the semi-finals are basically not too strong. Even if it is the champion of CONCACAF, the level of North American clubs has dropped sharply in recent years, and it is difficult to compare with European teams.

After all, good players in Central and North America like Navas basically play in Europe, and there are too few good players in Central and North America.

In the No.15 round of the league, Southampton's opponent was Middlesbrough. Facing this relegation team, Southampton played quite cautiously. They controlled their opponents on the field, and then kept looking for opportunities, while not Give your opponent too many chances.

This style of play is actually a bit tiring, but Southampton's players took control of the situation very well. De Bruyne continued to organize and pass the ball. Finally, shortly after the start of the second half, Coutinho received De Bruyne. Southampton took a one-to-nil lead with a signature long-range shot after Nei's pass.

In the following time, Southampton slowed down the pace of the game and successfully maintained the lead until the end!

In this way, Southampton will take the first place in the standings to participate in the Club World Cup - this is also very important, even if it is surpassed next, it can also prove that Southampton is still in the same schedule in the same schedule. Be the strongest!

This is the arrogance of a strong team.

On the way to Japan, the players were resting, and Ji Ya was not idle. He was paying attention to the performance of these opponents in the Club World Cup.

This time the South American Copa Libertadores champion is not from the top three in South America, but from Colombia, their traditional strong team Nacional. This team performed quite well in the South American Copa Libertadores last season and should be a strong opponent.

"Colombia's team... seldom meet. In the past, we only had James as a Colombian player." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

Colombia has always been a strong team in South American football. Although it is not as eye-catching as the top three, it has always performed well and has some good players. Under such circumstances, it seems that Southampton players should have some preparations. OK.

But after watching a few videos of the national competition, Ji Ya began to feel that... this South American champion... seems to be a bit weak?

Although they defeated Sao Paulo [-]-[-] in the semi-finals, Sao Paulo's overall performance last season was also very bad, and in the game, the scenes of both sides were actually similar. The National Athletic can win [-]-[-] because it is better to seize the opportunity Just a little bit.

Under such circumstances, as long as Southampton is serious, there should be no possibility of overturning.

"I think your judgment is good. I have watched the last few games of the National Athletic Libertadores Cup. Their strength is really not good, and there are no outstanding players. Playing the overall South American team...then There is nothing to be afraid of." Benelli agreed with Ji Ya's words.

Ji Ya laughed. Indeed, the biggest headache for European clubs in South American clubs is that they don’t know when a genius will appear. It can cause huge damage, and it is for this reason that European clubs often overturn.

But Colombian geniuses... are indeed rare now. After Ronaldo, the Colombian national team has no particularly outstanding players.

In Japan, Southampton began to rest, and the substitutes who arrived a few days earlier have all adapted, and the semi-finals were originally when they played.

After the Southampton team arrived in Japan, their semi-final match also came out-the host Kashima Antlers reached the semi-finals, they will play against the National Athletic, and Southampton's opponent is the Central and North American champion, Mexico's Americas team.

The first match in the semi-finals was Kashima Antlers vs. National Athletic.

In the final match, Ji Ya still attached great importance to it, so the day before the game, Ji Ya brought all the players to the scene to watch the game.

Nine and 10 minutes later, Ji Ya and the Southampton players looked at the field speechlessly...

No one expected that all the preparations made by Ji Ya and Benali had come to nothing.

The state of National Athletic in this game is extremely bad, it seems that they can't play football. Although they have the advantage of possession of the ball, they can only create opportunities by long-range shots in front of the opponent's defense line. Instead, Kashima Antlers In the first half, they took the lead in counterattacking and scoring a goal. In the last 10 minutes of the second half, taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's heavy pressure, they scored two goals in a row. They defeated the National Athletic [-]-[-] and broke into The final of the Club World Cup!

"Have you seen the significance of this game? This tells us that we must keep our focus in the semi-finals, otherwise, we will be defeated by our opponents." Ji Ya could only say seriously Such a passage.

The Southampton players laughed, they didn't think they would underestimate the enemy in the game.
