I brush achievements in football

When Lukaku was trapped by Southampton's two central defenders, Manchester United could only rely on Mkhitaryan and Lingard's long-range shots and breakthroughs to create threats.

After resisting this wave of Manchester United's attack, Southampton began to counterattack. Valverde and Grealish continued to support the center of the midfield, and the two full-backs were handed over to the front. This quickly Just reversed the decline in the midfield, both of them have quite good skills and coping abilities, Southampton began to create opportunities through continuous passing.

Cancelo, who went forward, received Valverde's pass and forcibly went down. The ball flew to the back point. Grealish caught the ball at the back point and volleyed the ball to the goal. Valencia, who was defended back, would The ball is blocked from the baseline, corner kick.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, and Vardy grabbed a point in front and shook his head to attack the goal!The next moment the ball hit the crossbar hard!

When Manchester United fans began to exclaim, the ball bounced directly to the front of the penalty area. Matic passed the ball to Mkhitaryan who retreated. Mkhitaryan started to take the ball forward, and Manchester United started a counterattack!

The Southampton players retreated quickly, and Mkhitaryan passed the ball to Pogba who advanced forward. Pogba began to drive straight in with the ball. Under the entanglement of Prouss, he still made a breakthrough and passed the center all the way. field, and then forcefully kicked and shot 25 meters away from the goal!

De Ligt appeared in the path of his shot in time and blocked the ball with his body.

Seeing that the ball had been picked up by Prowse, who retreated, Southampton began to attack again. Prowse passed a precise long pass to Valverde on the right, and Valverde passed the ball at a 45-degree angle into the penalty area. , Lingard, who returned to defense, made a clearance not far away, and Grealish, who followed up without stopping the ball, shot a long shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

"Southampton's offense is not as good as before, but considering they are still running in...at least their defense is stronger than before. It is also a good idea to strengthen the defense first when the offense needs to be run-in. choose."

Mourinho silently thought in his heart, of course his goal this season is to hit the championship. It is already the second season of coaching Manchester United. If he does not win the championship, it is unreasonable. At least one league title will be won every season, even when coaching Real Madrid to face the mighty Barcelona.

So as long as Manchester United can still win the league championship, his myth can continue.

And this European Super Cup is also a championship he wants to win.

However, after only a few minutes, Southampton broke the deadlock on the field!

It was a seemingly inconspicuous attack. The ball was passed by Ernesto Valverde to Cancelo who advanced the assist, and then Cancelo passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. When he passed the ball, the Manchester United defender They started to move forward to cause offside, but Lindelof's forward movement was a step slower. Du Yue, who was inserted in the back row, was not offside. Before De Gea made a save, the ball was shoveled into the goal!

"The goal was scored! It was Du Yue who opened the scoring for Southampton again! This 20-year-old striker has now fully assumed the important task of attacking Southampton!"

Amidst the chanting of the commentator, Du Yue ran around the court with his arms open. His form this season was indeed very good. This is different from last season. Many people didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning of last season. His, and this season, any opponent has already marked him with the specifications of marking the best players!

But he still opened the scoring for Southampton twice in a row.

After Southampton scored the first goal, the two sides began to fall into a stalemate. Manchester United tried to launch a counterattack, but they were always unable to play smoothly. After Southampton's heavy troops began to concentrate in the middle, it was difficult for them to continue to maintain the midfield advantage.

"Manchester United's lineup still has some problems with each other, and I think Mourinho didn't think about whether to play defensive counterattack or press attack... His best tactic is defensive counterattack, but Manchester United's existing Players are not enough to form a strong defense line. Bailey didn't play this game, but his appearance can't change this problem, so he can only force his team to attack, but he is still a little bit worse in terms of training offense .”

Kiya covered his mouth and said to Benelli. Benelli nodded slightly. He still agrees with Kiya's analysis. Manchester United's offense is indeed a bit awkward.

Because their only center, Lukaku, is actually suitable for counterattacks...

With space, Lukaku's power can be maximized.

It was the same at Southampton. When attacking in positional battles, Lukaku was just a player who responded and broke through. In counterattacks, he was the absolute core. When counterattacking, he passed the ball to Lukaku as soon as possible. To deal with it, this allowed Lukaku's strength to be fully utilized.

Now let him be the main center forward and play strong offense, which is actually a bit embarrassing for him.

And when a center like him cannot perform his duties well, Mkhitaryan and Lingard, who are ambushing behind him, will naturally not perform very well.

Valencia dribbled the ball forward and assisted, and then passed the ball into the penalty area from the wing. Lukaku missed the ball. Instead, Mkhitaryan received the ball. Make a timely block and block the ball with his body.

"De Ligt's blocking ability is really outstanding! He can always appear in front of the opponent's attacker in time, and then complete the blocking with his body! Such a tall figure can have such sensitive movements!" The commentator shouted , Praising Dericht's performance.

Araujo on the bench looked envious. The two were about the same age and height. They both joined this season. They can play the main force as soon as they join.I can only temporarily start from the bench...

But looking at Rudiger, who is also on the bench, Araujo is a little calm. Look at him, how many years he has played as a substitute in Southampton, and he is still peaceful...

In the rest of the first half, Southampton had another threatening attack. Du Yue received the ball from Vardy on the right side of the penalty area, and then shot decisively. The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, but De He Ya made an extremely wonderful save. He flew sideways and narrowly blocked the ball out of the bottom line!

"It's dangerous! Southampton almost expanded their lead! Du Yue is in great form! This young striker has maintained his good form from last season!"

The commentator shouted loudly, and the Southampton fans gave warm applause. In the past few seasons, the players with the most goals in Southampton have left except Vardy, and Du Yue After the end of last season, he immediately renewed his contract with Southampton, increasing his remaining three years to five years. Such a move, of course, made the fans feel at ease!
