I brush achievements in football

After scoring the first goal, Southampton then launched a wave of defense, which was actually requested by Ji Ya. It is hard to find a warm-up opponent at Arsenal's level. In addition to testing the new offensive lineup, the defensive lineup , also needs to be tested.

After all, Van Dijk's departure is definitely a huge loss for Southampton's defense.

Arsenal's offense is still very smooth, and at the same time they do not have a standard center forward on the field, Maguire will appear a little difficult to defend. At this time, it is time to test De Ligt.

But it is clear that De Ligt performed well.

Bellerin made a cross from the right, and De Ligt entangled Lacazette in the middle, preventing him from taking off easily. At this time, Mendy struck in time and got the ball in the air.

In terms of attack and height, Mendy still has a bit of an advantage. He is 1.9 meters four, and he also needs to move faster. Of course, Gulac's reaction and experience are unmatched by the current Mendy.

A few minutes later, Arsenal's offense came back again, this time Iwobi made a cross from the left and Lacazette ran to the middle, but De Ligt accurately judged that it was a late cross , he started to move backwards with Welbeck, and the two got entangled. In the end, neither of them could touch the ball, and the ball flew directly out of the touchline.

"Nice job."

Ji Ya gave a thumbs up to the field. De Ligt’s two defenses will not be counted in the statistics, but in fact he has completed two successful defenses, which proves his ability to move and fight. And the ability to judge the landing point is first-rate. This young central defender who has just completed his full year is indeed a rare genius. This talent is almost visible to the naked eye.

"It's no wonder that Southampton has to spend £500 million to sign such a young talent. You must know that he has only played the main force of Ajax for one season, and he has already shown excellent form! Poor Jax just cultivated a new player, and he was snatched away by Southampton..."

Some commentators joked, while the Southampton fans started to applaud. They never doubted Kiya's vision.

Dericht's performance can only prove that Southampton can always fill in no matter who they leave!

After the defense withstood Arsenal's attack, Southampton began to counterattack. They continued to attack through the two wings at the same time, looking for opportunities for the two forwards in the penalty area, but luck was a bit bad. During the time, although they had the advantage on the field, they were not able to score a goal.

After the start of the second half, Kiya replaced five people in a row, and the Community Shield Cup can replace up to seven people-El Valverde replaced Cancelo, Rudiger replaced De Bruyne, Prouse replaced Kier Weir, Alvarez and Allai replaced Du Yue and Vardy, and Southampton changed into three-five-two.

And Arsenal have also changed a lot of people, Giroud, Walcott, Kolasinac and others have appeared on the field.

The two sides continued to entangle on the field. Southampton had an advantage in the midfield. The two full-backs Rudiger and De Ligt boldly went to the midfield to assist in offense and defense, giving them a huge advantage in the number of midfielders. Arsenal Na was a bit overwhelmed for a while. As a high center forward, Allais' fulcrum ability in the frontcourt is very obvious. It was his header shortly after the start of the second half that assisted Alvarez in the penalty area. Kicked a shot and then kicked the ball into the opponent's goal.

However, Arsenal's counterattack quickly played quite well. They seized the problem of Southampton's back three in the offensive and defensive transition, relying on Kolasinac's header and Giroud's volley in the final stage of the game. Scored two goals in a row, abruptly equalized the score, and dragged the game into a penalty shootout!

In the penalty shootout, Southampton's young players were defeated because Du Yue and De Bruyne, the two most stable penalty kicks, were not on the court. They only scored two penalties in the end. And Arsenal's first four penalty kicks were perfect, and finally defeated Southampton [-]-[-] in the penalty shootout, and won the first official championship in England this season!

After the victory, the Arsenal fans began to celebrate enthusiastically. The Southampton fans were a bit regretful, but they didn't care too much. Their appetite has been high over the years. Even if they win the Community Shield, they will be crazy Celebrating, but throwing it away is nothing special.

As a club that has won four Champions Leagues in a row, what's the big deal about losing a Community Shield champion?

"It's a pity to lose this game. Of course, this is mainly my problem. I want to try new formations and tactics too much in this game. The players performed very well. I am very happy to see the young Players are getting better and better in such games. Now results are not what we are particularly pursuing, how to make our fans happier on the court is the most important thing.”

Ji Ya said at the press conference after the game that he took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself, which is also his usual practice.

However, many media believe that although Southampton only lost three main players this summer, in fact, the positions of these three players are quite difficult to fill. Southampton now has too many young players. , Their overall performance will definitely have an impact.

The collapse of a dynasty never happens suddenly, but they will lose some seemingly inconspicuous games and some unimportant champions first, and then they will gradually be discovered that they are no longer strong. When I started to be alert, it was already hard to return...

Such an evaluation is not unreasonable.

Southampton's state in this game is indeed not particularly good. They always create a lot of opportunities in the game, but they are all wasted. There are less breakthrough methods, and these methods were a very important part of Southampton's offense in the past.

When the frontcourt lacks a player who can break through and change the rhythm, the overall offense of the lineup is not enough, no matter how stable the offense is.

Dembele was responsible for this task last season. Coutinho and Du Yue were also able to break through twice. Now it seems that Du Yue is the only one left. Under such circumstances, the threat of Southampton's offense is reduced. Naturally, it became inevitable.

As the offensive threat decreases, the defensive pressure will increase, but Van Dijk has also left... Thinking about it this way, the problems exposed in Southampton's game are still inevitable.

Amid such controversy, the Southampton team flew to Macedonia to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup.
