Chapter 83 What is a traditional strong team

There is nothing to say about the following lottery ceremony.

As a new team, Southampton has no preferential treatment.

They were quickly drawn into Group A, and the second team in this group was Juventus...

"It's okay, the first-tier team might be weak." Mancini comforted him.

The host then drew Sevilla.

Kiya covered his face, and as the last team Salzburg was drawn out, Mancini and Klopp patted Kiya's shoulder sympathetically at the same time.

In the Europa League for the first time, I was in a group with Sevilla, Juventus and Salzburg. It was just too miserable...

Sevilla was almost unbeatable in the Europa League a few years ago, so they are now the opponents in the first tier, and Juventus fell to the second tier, mainly because they came back after the relegation and have always performed well Unfortunately, if there are not enough points in the European War, then they can only be ranked in the second tier.

According to their strength, they all have the first grade strength.

As for Salzburg, an Austrian team, it seems that it doesn't look good, but in fact, Salzburg is now a part of the Red Bull layout. In the European war, Austria's Salzburg Red Bull and Germany The Leipzig Red Bull has gradually become stronger, getting outstanding players from Eastern Europe to the Salzburg Red Bull for training, and then going to the Bundesliga to increase their value. Red Bull has now started to do this kind of thing.

So anyway, this is a group of death...

"Playing against a strong team is a good thing." Ji Ya said with a sigh.

Seeing Mancini and Klopp looking at him strangely, Ji Ya added: "What I said is true, anyway, with our strength, it is impossible to win the Europa League, so in the group Seri meets a few strong teams, let our young players experience high-level players, they will naturally grow faster, this is a huge wealth."

Mancini and Klopp nodded, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what he said. For young players, this kind of game can train people best.

And their draw is not good, Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain are divided into a group, Manchester City is divided into a group with Porto, Besiktas and Sofia CSKA, although this group does not seem to be particularly strong The team, but there is no good opponent, and if you are not careful, you may be out of the game.

After the lottery ceremony, Kiya and Benelli didn't go back to the hotel by car, but at Kiya's suggestion, they strolled back.

"You really think training our players is enough?" Benelli asked.

Ji Ya smiled.

"Of course that's all I can say now."

"I thought you were going to put up a satellite to get everyone's attention," Benelli said.

"That's not my personality... I always like doing things more than talking." Ji Ya shrugged.

"It would be great if we could win a European championship." Benelli looked at the stars in the sky and said with a sigh.

"If Southampton can only win one European championship, I am willing to put it in the Champions League. But we can win a lot, so let's win the Europa League first!" Ji Ya laughed.

The night in Zurich was very quiet, and the darkness well enveloped Ji Ya's ambition.

After completing the draw, Ji Ya rushed back to Southampton non-stop, and then he will face the challenge of the league.

The league and the Europa League are the two biggest goals of this season, and everything else is secondary, whether it is the FA Cup or the League Cup.

But the next day is a FIFA match day, and there are no matches in the English Championship-after all, it is not uncommon for clubs to have international players at the level of the English Championship. It is too big, so it will also stop.

Southampton's international players are not too many, Navas, Lovren, Mkhitaryan, Dembele, these are the four, but this time one has been added. Excellent performance, plus Portugal has been short of a stable central defender, so he was selected for the Portuguese national team this time!

Of course, it is still difficult for him to shake the central defender combination of Carvalho and Pepe, but being selected for the national team is also a signal.

After the FIFA match day, the international players were a little tired when they came back. Except for Fonte who only played half of the game, Mkhitaryan and Navas both played two games for the national team. Dembele and Lovren played a game, and the consumption is not low.

So in the next round of the league, Lallana started the game.

Millwall, who had already won four consecutive victories before, encountered difficulties this round. Their opponent was Nottingham Forest. The performance at home was quite good, leading Southampton, and even almost kept the lead until the end. If Austin, who came off the bench, scored a goal in front of the goal, Southampton might have suffered a defeat!

The draw allowed Southampton's points to be tied with Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City, although they still ranked first on goal difference.

"See? What is a traditional strong team? This is a traditional strong team! Do you think they can't do it? Do you think they can be defeated by us casually? Impossible, the teams in the British Championship are only one step away from the Premier League! Even if we have the strength of the Premier League, it is impossible for us to go sideways in the English Championship. Every game must be played with the mentality of a decisive battle, understand?"

Ji Ya sprayed the players in the locker room after the game. The four-game winning streak in the league and the entry into the Europa League group stage made many players really feel a little bit ecstatic. Now is the time to spray them.

Even if young players can't hold back, as long as what you say makes sense, they will still listen.

Under such circumstances, the Southampton players all bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, and then vented their anger on the next opponent...

Their next opponent was Reading, who was notoriously rude.

However, Southampton relied on continuous passing and technology to suppress the opponent. Reading frantically pressed and ran, but could not touch the ball. Southampton continued to avoid the opponent's pressing by passing. Reading's players They tired themselves out and couldn't touch the ball.

Then two lightning pass attacks, Lambert scored twice!

Southampton defeated Reading at home and once again consolidated their No.1 position.

After playing these two games, Southampton ushered in its first official Europa League game of the season.

Their first round is to challenge Salzburg away, while Sevilla and Juventus will fight against each other.

This is also a good thing for Southampton.
