Chapter 627 More and more intense

After the FIFA match day, Southampton players returned to the club from the national team. Some of them were very tired, such as Van Dijk and De Bruyne, and some were relatively relaxed. status within the national team.

The next schedule will be very tight. In the next week, Southampton will play three league games in a row, on the 15st, 30th and 19th, and then usher in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on the 22th. In the first round of the first final, they played against Barcelona at home, followed by No. 30 four league rounds, until this time, they can take a breather, on the 29th to play No.30 five rounds of the league.

If they enter the FA Cup semi-finals, then the FA Cup semi-finals will be played on the 22nd, and the 34th round will be postponed to the middle of the week.

This is how Southampton came here last season. Although they have already experienced it, such an experience is not pleasant at all.

For the newly joined players, they have not experienced it, but just looking at the current schedule is enough to make them gasp, and then the old players will say in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Where is this?" , think about when we won the treble last year..."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Before last season, we missed a few games in the League Cup, and we have accumulated good physical fitness." Ji Ya said to the young players.

The players nodded one after another. Ji Ya's words made sense. Last season, the League Cup was eliminated early, and the FA Cup was played as a substitute. That's why such a good effect was achieved. This year's League Cup won the championship, and the consumption was higher than last season. There must be more, so it is a good thing not to play in the FA Cup.

"Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion, these are the opponents we will face in the next week. What I ask is to win these three games and let Chelsea see how good we are!" Ji After refocusing, the sentence that Ya said the most was this one.

The players are basically clear about Ji Ya's mentality, because they also think so.

They were tied by Tottenham in the last round, so they were overtaken by Chelsea by one point, but they will not give up and will definitely continue to win-if you have the ability, Chelsea will keep winning streak!

And after these three games, there is a game against Manchester City between the two Champions League games, which is even more important. So at this time, any point will be very important.

With high fighting spirit, the Southampton players began to welcome the No.30 round.

In this round, Chelsea played against Crystal Palace at home, and Southampton played against Bournemouth at home. Obviously, whether it is Chelsea or Southampton, it is difficult for them to have any problems in front of these two opponents.

The Chelsea game had to be played the day before, and the Southampton fans did not expect Crystal Palace to create a miracle. They watched the game with a try mentality. As a result, Cesc Fabregas scored in just 5 minutes into the game. ball...

"This Crystal Palace is really useless."

Many Southampton fans turned off the TV in annoyance, but they couldn't help turning on the TV after a few minutes to watch, and then they were shocked to find that Crystal Palace actually played in the 9th and No.11th minutes. Scored two goals in a row!

First Benteke assisted Zaha to score, and then Zaha assisted Benteke to score!

Countless Southampton fans began to cheer for Benteke sincerely. After Benteke resolutely transferred and left at that time, Southampton fans have never been so used to him...

However, after all, only ten minutes have passed since the game. Whether Crystal Palace can withstand Chelsea's crazy attack in the remaining time is still unknown.

However, in the following time, Crystal Palace did create a miracle.

They resisted the opponent's offensive wave after wave at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's performance was not bad, that is, their main center Costa was unable to play due to injury, but they also created a lot of opportunities. However, in Crystal Palace In the face of tenacious resistance, these opportunities have become useless.

Chelsea shot 24 times in the whole game, and [-] shots were on target. However, in the rest of the time, there was nothing they could do about Crystal Palace's defense.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, everyone was surprised to see Chelsea lose [-]-[-] at home to Crystal Palace...

The Chelsea fans couldn't believe it, and they clearly realized one thing, that is, after beating Chelsea with all their strength, how much stamina does Crystal Palace still have to beat Southampton in the middle of the week?

This is doubly good for Southampton!

In the post-match press conference, Conte admitted his defeat, highly praised Crystal Palace's outstanding performance and tenacity, and then hoped that they could also perform so well in the next round...

"We have to learn something from this game... Actually we have suffered a lot from the mid-table teams this season, so we will not underestimate any next game. Bournemouth is also a very good team. Strong opponents, we will deal with them carefully."

Ji Ya said at the press conference before the game that his words were very sincere. After all, Southampton did lose a lot of points to the middle and lower teams this season.

Five of their eight draws were lost to mid-lower teams.

So in the next home game against Bournemouth, Southampton appeared very cautious.

Goalkeeper Gulac, defenders Peters, Jenkinson, Maguire and Rudiger, midfielders Phillips, Prouse, DePaul, forwards Coutinho, Du Yue, Dembele.

Although there are a lot of rotations in the midfield, their trident is still on the court, which is enough to prove that they attach great importance to this game.

On the field, they are also very serious. This midfielder's ability to control the field is not particularly outstanding. However, under the control of Prouss, their running and mutual response are very active, making the midfield run well. He got up, but at the same time, he didn't give his opponent many chances.

In the case of controlling the midfield, it depends on how many opportunities the forwards can seize.

In this regard, Du Yue did not disappoint others.

In the second half of the game, he received passes from Coutinho and Dembele respectively, and then sent the ball into the opponent's goal, helping Southampton beat Bournemouth [-]-[-] at home. !

This allowed Southampton to regain the first place in the standings after losing the top spot for more than ten days!

With eight rounds left before the end of the league, the competition for the first place in the league began to become more and more intense.
