I brush achievements in football

Entering the League Cup final made Southampton fans very happy, but soon, three days later, they ushered in a heavyweight opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Arsenal.

Having met Arsenal early, it is obvious that the FA does not want Southampton to go too far. Last season, they won the triple crown. Do they still want to win the quadruple crown this season?

Such an honor was easily won by Southampton. Doesn't it seem that English football is too bad?

Southampton has already won a lot of honors that no one has been able to get for so many years, and they still want to win the quadruple crown. Of course, they cannot easily achieve their wish.

It's like UEFA's attitude towards Southampton.

I hope they create legends, but I don't want them to accomplish this easily.

So UEFA will not trouble Southampton with refereeing, but the schedule must be the most stringent, and they will arrange the strongest opponents to ensure that they can meet strong teams in every round.

Southampton has come like this for the past three years, so the results in Southampton can be said to be gold-filled.

In the game against Arsenal, Ji Ya continued to send most of the substitutes. At the same time, Valverde was used as the right back. Sancho and other young players also played. Arsenal also has a lot of young players. Speaking is also crucial.

However, in this game, Arsenal's young players have the upper hand, Walcott performed well, staged a hat-trick in the game, and used his speed to make Peters and Ernesto Valverde very headaches, although Southampton relied on the goals of Alvarez and Phillips to recover two points, but they still couldn't win the game.

Two to three, Southampton lost the game in the fourth round of the FA Cup, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, but also let Ji Ya breathe a sigh of relief-the FA Cup was eliminated early, although let The young players have less opportunities to exercise, but it also reduces the pressure on the whole team. Don't look at Ji Ya always playing cup games with young players on the bench, but it does not affect the energy of the whole team at all. Tactics need to be changed , If the opponent knows what you are going to start with, then the targeted arrangement will make you feel uncomfortable.

The FA Cup is eliminated, so all the players can be used by Ji Ya in the next game.

"Now we can concentrate on sprinting in the league... The next round is very important to us. My request is that we must win this league game. Do you understand?"

Ji Ya said on the training ground that the players nodded one after another. Indeed, for Southampton, they must win this game now.

In this round, Chelsea, which has won [-] consecutive victories, will challenge Liverpool away.

If Chelsea can still win Liverpool, there is nothing to say. However, if Liverpool beat or draw Chelsea, and Southampton fails to win Swansea, which is currently ranked [-]th and is desperately trying to avoid relegation, because of its own problems, then There is really no reason to say...

The relegation team at this time is not easy to play. Swansea beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home in the last round. Even if they face Southampton in this game, they will fight to the end.

After all, at this time, the relegation team has the courage to bite any team they encounter, unless, like Aston Villa last season, they have been at the bottom in a row and the team has no fighting spirit.

Now the gap between the last few places is very small. No.15 Leicester City has 21 points, Middlesbrough has [-] points, Swansea has [-] points, Crystal Palace and Hull City have [-] points, Sunderland has [-] points, These six teams have basically rounded up the relegation team, and it depends on who can have the last laugh among them.

Swansea certainly hoped they were the ones who had the last laugh.

Their head coach Paul Clemente is already the fourth head coach this season - the first is the Italian coach Guidolin, who was a firefighter last season, and after two months of coaching this season The class was dismissed, and the second American coach Bradley failed to last for three months. The third old coach Curtis was just over-coaching. He coached two games and dismissed class until Clement took office.

The coach lost [-]-[-] to Arsenal in his first game, but soon he defeated Liverpool [-]-[-] in the second game, which also gave Swansea enough fighting spirit, although it was also three points , but beating a strong team is different.

After he took office, he made drastic adjustments, reactivated the veteran center Llorente, pushed the offensive midfielder Sigurdsson to the front line, and changed the lineup from four-four-two to four-three-three. The attack defeated Liverpool, Llorente scored twice and Sigurdsson scored the winning goal. He used the same lineup in this game. Now this lineup is the most energetic time and the most It may be time to continue to create miracles in one breath.

Under such circumstances, it is certainly worth looking forward to.

From the very beginning of the game, Swansea began to attack continuously. They did not entangle Southampton in the midfield, but launched a fast break directly after getting the ball, using a typical British style of play, simple and direct , A long pass.

Although Llorente is old, he is only 32 years old after all. With his height, strength and experience, it is a difficult time to deal with.

Ji Ya sent Maguire. In such a height confrontation, Maguire is still very good, especially when the opponent is also a tall and slow-moving player, Maguire is more useful.

After he stalked Llorente to death, it was very difficult for Swansea to fight back simply and rudely.

However, their condition is really good. Under the leadership of Sigurdsson, they continued to quickly pass through the midfield and then attacked. Although Llorente was entangled by Maguire, he responded once or twice and made the ball. It's still doable.

With the center back in front, the offense is much easier to play.

Southampton is also ready to fight a tough battle. They keep running and attacking on the field, launching a violent impact on the opponent's defense line. They don't expect to completely block the opponent's attack. They rely on themselves. attack!

With such a firm mentality, Southampton quickly scored the first goal.

After Du Yue retreated to get the ball, he attracted the attention of the two opposing players, then handed the ball to Dembele, and then advanced himself. His forward movement continued to lead the opponent's defender to follow him, but Dembele was alone. An emergency stop accelerated, the diagonal line got rid of his opponent's mark, broke into the penalty area, and before the other defenders had time to fill their positions, Dembele quickly kicked the ball into the near corner of the goal!

"The goal is scored! Dembele! Numerous ball critics have praised Dembele's performance this season! This is his third season in Southampton. Although he was a substitute in the first two seasons, However, he has repeatedly made amazing moves after playing, and after Fuzheng became the main force this season, he quickly showed his top form!"
