I brush achievements in football

This is their seventh consecutive UEFA Super Cup appearance.

Making the European Super Cup the same as every year's friendly match, Southampton is also a record that can be said to be unprecedented. After all, it is difficult for any team to be like them. After the three consecutive championships of the Europa League, there will be three consecutive championships of the Champions League. , Three consecutive championships are not enough, four consecutive championships are needed...

However, in this game, Southampton's winning rate is not very high. They only won four European Super Cups in the first six times and lost two of them. If it arrives, it will tie Milan's record of winning the Super Cup five times, and be tied for first place again.

"Now everyone knows how harsh the media and public opinion are on us? We just lost a game that was not very important because of our experimental tactics. Many people think that we can't do it. We are about to fall into a passive position. Our The dynasty will collapse... So next, let's win the UEFA Super Cup and tie the record for the most championships. Our achievements are never relying on the media, but on ourselves, relying on us to win one after another An honor that cannot be achieved! We are the first to win the Europa League three consecutive times, we are not the first to win the Champions League four consecutive times, but we can still go for the first, and we are not the first to win the six championships , but it is also one of the only two six-time champions. At the same time, we can also hit the seven-time champion... The three consecutive Club World Cups, we are the first... Look, we have won so many and no one has ever won it. The honors we have been to, and some records are tied, it’s just because we haven’t risen long enough... In the next time, we will continue to prove this! What about you? Believe it?”

Kiya said to his players.

The young players are waving their fists and shouting slogans. Although many of them are already champions, they are not leading in the process of winning the championship. Now it is their turn to be the core. Of course they The fighting spirit will also be higher.

For Southampton, this European Super Cup match against Manchester United is another big test. Manchester United won the Europa League last season, which made their fighting spirit and state quite good, and Mu Rinho has always been able to perform well when he has authority.

The second year he leads the team is often the most effective time.

The Philip II Arena is the venue for this match, which is also the home stadium of the Macedonian national team, but the capacity of this stadium is not very large, it can only accommodate more than 3 people, which is a little bigger than St. Mary's Stadium.

Of course, in order to promote the influence of football and European games, UEFA has played the European Super Cup in various small European countries in recent years. Although it will make the team a little tired, it has indeed aroused the enthusiasm of these small countries for football , This is something that UEFA has spared no effort to promote over the years.

"Players from both sides have already played! Southampton's starting lineup for this game continues to be four four two, goalkeeper Gulacci, defender Cancelo, Chilwell, De Ligt and Maguire, and the two wings of the midfielder are Valverde De and Grealish, De Bruyne and Prowse in the middle, forwards Du Yue and Vardy! Manchester United sent a four-three-two-one lineup, goalkeeper De Gea, the two full-backs are Valencia and Damian, Lindelof and Smalling partnered as central defenders, Herrera, Matic and Pogba served as three midfielders, and the two forward attackers were Mkhitaryan and Lingard, Lukaku came forward alone! Ibrahimovic was unable to play due to injury, and there are many old patients in Manchester United, such as Luke Shaw! However, there are also a lot of former Southampton players starting this game for Manchester United. Matic , Mkhitaryan, Lukaku! These are all important players before Southampton!"

In the chanting of the commentator, Kiya was shaking hands with Mourinho.

"Playing both the Champions League and the league, it's easy to get distracted." Ji Ya said to Mourinho with concern.

"I'm used to it," Mourinho replied.

"That's good. I thought you only focused on the Europa League last season because you didn't know how to balance the two important games." Ji Ya replied.

Mourinho glared at him and left without saying a word, while Kiya laughed behind him.

Although Mourinho first solved the problem that Manchester United did not have any championships for several years by winning the Europa League, and also brought Manchester United back to the Champions League in a roundabout way. Such a result makes Manchester United fans very satisfied , But there are always people who say that this approach is a trick, sorry for Manchester United's status as a wealthy family, and many of the people who say this are Manchester United celebrities, such as Scholes, Ferdinand, and Neville...

Their words are very marketable and influential among Manchester United fans. They can indeed affect many people and make Mourinho feel bored.

And when Ji Ya mentions it like this now, it is obvious that he is stabbing a knife in Mourinho's heart...

No wonder Mourinho would care about him.

Players from both sides were scattered on the field, and Ji Ya also returned to his seat and sat down. Manchester United is not an easy opponent to deal with, and the current Manchester United overall is indeed very strong. Although the position of full-back is still not good enough, in fact Wa Rencia and Damian are also very reliable defenders. They may not be able to bring surprises, but there will be no problems.

In addition, their midfielder is indeed very strong. Herrera is good at organizing from the back, Pogba is an all-round midfielder core, and Matic assists in defense. With the support of such a midfielder, no matter the offense Or defense, can play a very good effect.

The two sides have been entangled in the midfield from the very beginning of the game. Southampton's midfield has only De Bruyne and Prowse. Although they are very active in running and have technical advantages, they face The scramble and siege of Manchester United's superior forces has indeed affected their performance to some extent.

After the midfielder gradually gained the advantage through running, they began to constantly look for opportunities and use Lukaku's personal ability to launch offenses.

With Lukaku's strength and speed, few central defenders can withstand him, but Southampton still has two such central defenders.

Maguire can compete with Lukaku in terms of strength. Lukaku's absolute speed is not very strong. When he starts to overtake from the wing, he mainly relies on his strong body to squeeze the defender and force the opponent. Slow down, and then accelerate to overtake him, but he is still a little bit short of trying to squeeze Maguire with his body.

Maguire is not inferior to him in height and physique.

In terms of speed and agility, De Ligt can also compete with him.

In the face of Lukaku's impact, Southampton's two central defenders maintained a fairly good state and confrontation.

Therefore, although Manchester United has the advantage in the midfield, the threatening offense they created is relatively less.
