I brush achievements in football

This four-to-zero game shocked the entire European football world.

It's not because the score is too exaggerated-in fact, Barcelona's performance has been unstable in the past two years. Their midfield is in a state of mending. Only the forward line is the top in the world, so there are often some inexplicable crashes. Barcelona didn't play very well in the first game. When Southampton performed well, they scored [-]-[-]. Although it is surprising, it is not a particularly exaggerated thing.

The real hyperbole is the stats.

In the whole game, Southampton's ball possession rate was only 30.00%, Barcelona was close to 70.00%, and the number of shots Barcelona also had the upper hand. They had [-] shots, Southampton only had [-], but Southampton's [-] Eight of the five shots hit the goal frame, Barcelona only had four!

In other words, Southampton completely used defensive counterattacks and efficient offenses to kill Barcelona.

Southampton, who has been showing their ability with crazy offense, started to use defensive counterattack in this game. After using it, the effect is so good. How can we not make Southampton fans feel excited?

And if they use defensive counterattacks, the relative physical consumption is a bit worse, which allows them to use a better state to deal with Manchester City in the middle of the week.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little bit broken.

Southampton is now two points ahead of Chelsea in the league, and the Champions League semi-finals are just around the corner. Do they want a triple crown in the League Cup, Champions League and Premier League this season?

Will they give others a way to survive?

But the Southampton fans don't care about this. They are celebrating their victory crazily. Although there are still many games to play, they already have enough confidence in the results of this season.

"The advantage of four goals does not mean that we will definitely be able to advance... At this time, any team will work hard, so in the Champions League, we still will not relax."

Ji Ya said this at the press conference after the game, but everyone thought he was just showing caution. In fact, under such circumstances, Southampton's promotion is almost certain .

Kiya did not explain this, and the Southampton players quickly turned their attention to the next home game against Manchester City.

The only thing that has an advantage over Southampton is that these two consecutive games are at their own home court, and their physical fitness has recovered a little better.

At this time, Ji Ya will not use too much rotation in the game, maybe some players will be replaced, but most of the main players, he will continue to use them at this time, unless they are injured or their physical fitness is really not good .

Goalkeeper Gulac, defenders Peters, Van Dijk, Maguire, Cancelo, midfielders Hoybier, Valverde, De Bruyne, forwards Du Yue, Vardy, Dembele.

This is the main lineup sent by Ji Ya for the home game against Manchester City.

Manchester City ranked third before this game, five points ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal, which gave Guardiola enough confidence to test his lineup again in the game. After all, for Guardiola, this season Although the possibility of winning the championship is already very small, it is still a very important task to constantly adjust and test available players when facing strong teams, and to prepare for summer signings.

Guardiola sent a four-one-four-one lineup, goalkeeper Bravo, right back Guardiola activated Keylor Navas, left back Clichy, two center backs were Kompany and Otamendi, midfielder The two backs are Yaya Toure and Fernandinho, David Silva and Sane are on the wings, Gundogan advances forward, and Aguero acts as the lone striker.

This is obviously a lineup that pays equal attention to technology and speed. Guardiola still wants to test what his tactics need to do in the Premier League in order to be able to flourish.

In fact, Southampton has pointed out a clear way for him.

That is, in the passing system, coupled with excellent running and suitable players, the core is established in the midfield, the surrounding people revolve around the core players, and the forwards are mainly players with flexibility and excellent coordination.

This is why Ji Ya, after the introduction of De Bruyne, obviously sold so many players at a high price, he is determined to keep De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's midfield core is indispensable to Southampton. Others can change it, but De Bruyne cannot.

Therefore, Ji Ya responded to De Bruyne's requests, and he also gave him the captain's armband and the maximum salary, plus respect, De Bruyne is not the kind of player who likes to run around, so he has stayed and brought Here comes Southampton's current splendor.

What Guardiola is looking for is actually such a core. However, he wanted to dig De Bruyne in the summer, but was firmly rejected by Southampton, and Ji Ya turned around and renewed his contract with De Bruyne for two more years. In 35, his contract, which had been shortened to three years, was increased to five years. After the contract was renewed, De Bruyne's weekly salary was [-] pounds. This figure is among the best in the entire Premier League.

So Guardiola can only take the next best thing and dig Gundogan. Gundogan is indeed a player with excellent organizational skills and good at attacking forward, but compared with De Bruyne, he is still a bit worse.

Yaya Toure, the original core, did not meet his requirements, and he has had a lot of trouble with him this season. David Silva was originally in line, but the Spaniard is not young after all, and he is used to supporting , can not bear such a big responsibility.

Sane is very young and very good, but he is a typical winger.

This is what has been a bit of a headache for Guardiola.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides started a scuffle in the midfield. Southampton kept passing in the midfield, looking for opportunities. Manchester City was similar, pressing in the midfield, organizing and passing the attack after getting the ball. are relatively close.

Aguero looked very active, he kept running from the beginning of the game, kept getting the ball, and kept creating opportunities.

Maybe Du Yue's performance stimulated him. Like him, Du Yue is also a short striker. The two have similar characteristics. They can score and pass the ball at the same time, but Du Yue is younger than him, and The scoring ability seems to be a little stronger.

This made Aguero, who has been famous for a long time, of course very unconvinced.

As the main striker of the Argentine national team and a world-renowned super shooter, what makes Aguero feel ashamed is that he has never won a top scorer...

As a shooter who scores a lot of goals every year, he can always encounter perverts who score more goals than himself, which is a kind of helplessness.
