In the quarter-finals of this Champions Cup, the opponents of the four Premier League teams are all good, and three of them are Bundesliga teams...

In addition to Southampton facing Dortmund, Manchester City's opponent is Schalke Zero Four, and Liverpool's opponent is Bayern.

The remaining opponent of Manchester United is Paris Saint-Germain.

The situation against the three Premier League teams in the Bundesliga is not bad. Southampton beat Dortmund [-]-[-] away, Manchester City also defeated Schalke [-] [-]-[-] away, and Liverpool drew [-]-[-] with Bayern at home. , seems to be a bit unfavorable, but it's not too bad.

It's a bad situation for Manchester United.

They lost to Paris Saint-Germain [-]-[-] at home, and the core midfielder Pogba was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards before the end.

However, Manchester United's performance this season is bad enough, and such a loss does not seem to explain anything.

After returning to Southampton from Dortmund, the Southampton team began to prepare for the next game. The second round of the Champions League will not start until next month. The next task for Southampton is the league and the FA Cup.

However, the schedule during this period is relatively easy. The next weekend is the FA Cup match, and then they will rest for a week, followed by three consecutive league rounds in a week...

It's the second round of the Champions League.

The schedule is a bit weird, but England's FA Cup must be played on weekends, which will definitely lead to such a schedule.

Southampton's main players can just take a break. Their next opponent in the FA Cup is Brighton. of.

In this game, Southampton's substitutes did not perform well.

They were suppressed by the relatively experienced Brighton players. Although they evened the score in the game, they lost to Brighton [-]-[-] in the end, and the FA Cup stopped in the fifth round.

Regarding this result, Ji Ya didn't say much. After losing the FA Cup, it is also a good thing that Southampton's goals this season can be put wholeheartedly in the league and the Champions League.

In the league, Southampton has won seven consecutive victories before, but the winning streaks of Manchester City and Liverpool this season are quite amazing. They won consecutive victories at every turn, which is the key to their huge advantage in the standings.

In this round, Liverpool played against Manchester United, while Southampton played against Arsenal, and Manchester City played against Everton-these three games can be regarded as strong dialogues, and in such a round, it is often easy to change the winning pattern.

Southampton are now seven points behind Liverpool and four behind Manchester City, which is not a particularly difficult score to catch.

Arsenal is ranked sixth, but they have enough fighting spirit to play against Southampton in this game.

After all, if they continue to lose, they will be in vain if they want to enter the semi-finals this season.

At the Emirates Stadium, [-] Arsenal fans shouted loudly, hoping to use their performance to make the team beat a strong enemy.

After Wenger got out of class, the Arsenal fans were actually a little confused. Although many fans opposed Wenger at the time, there were actually some people who set the pace. The management represented by Kroenke wanted to replace Wenger. What a secret, and now that Emery has taken office, Arsenal seems to have not changed much, which makes them quite anxious.

However, the loyalty of Arsenal fans is well-known in the Premier League. At this time, they will still shout loudly to support their team.

Emery's personnel in this game are more abundant. He sent a four-two-three-one formation in the game. The goalkeeper Gulacci and the two full backs are Lichtsteiner and Kolasinac. The central defenders are partnered by Mustafi and Papastathopoulos, the midfielders Torreira, Xhaka, Ramsey, the two attacking midfielders are Mkhitaryan and Iwobi, and Lacazette comes forward , Aubameyang was on standby on the bench.

Kiya dispatched a similar four-two-three-one, goalkeeper Mendy, defenders Cancelo, De Ligt, Maguire and Chilwell, midfielders De Bruyne and Rodri dragged behind, and front It was Grealish, Sancho and B Fei, and Du Yue came forward alone.

During this period of time on the right, Sancho played alternately with Valverde. The two have different characteristics. Valverde's running ability, comprehensiveness and long-range shooting ability are better, while Sancho is stronger in speed. And technically, against a team like Arsenal that is not very strong defensively, it is better to use a player with better personal ability like Sancho.

Both sides are old rivals. Southampton players generally have relatively high self-confidence when facing Arsenal, while Arsenal players are unwilling to lose their hope of entering the semi-finals at home. In this case, the two sides began to entangle in the midfield almost at the beginning of the game!

In a similar formation, the players are basically old acquaintances, so of course the trial and error link is omitted.

Arsenal's offense in the middle creates a little more pressure, but although Southampton's two central players are technical, their defense is not bad, and the defense is solid. Arsenal's offense is temporarily unable to do so. It played a very good role, but Southampton was on the wing and began to gradually gain the advantage.

With the assistance of others, Sancho began to show his level on the wing, firmly suppressing the opponent's left back Kolasinac.

Sancho is good at speed and technique, but his speed is not particularly fast, but his feet are really good, he can complete breakthroughs on the wing, and he also has a characteristic that after the breakthrough, whether it is shooting or passing, he is quite good. The precision, this is his talent.

Such players often appear to be very useful on the wing, so that they can't actually create a threat after breaking through. It seems very lively to watch the ball break through and get the ball on the wing, but it is actually useless for a while.

As long as Sancho breaks through successfully, he can create a threat.

Even if such a threat does not directly score a goal, it will disrupt the overall rhythm of the opponent's defense, allowing Southampton to gain more benefits and advantages in offense.

Of course, if he fails to open the situation by dribbling and breaking through on the wing, then his role on the court will be very limited. After all, their ability to cooperate is not very strong, and his personal ability is not particularly outstanding. Degree.

If such a player is used well, he can be invincible, but if he is not used well, he will appear very mediocre.

However, Ji Ya has always been very good at using such players, making them feel like ducks in water in the environment he is used to!
