I brush achievements in football

That is, we haven't seen each other for almost a month. When Ji Ya saw Favre, he felt that he was a little older than before...

You must know that Favre is less than 60 years old. This age is actually not very old now. He looked very energetic before, but looking at him now, his face has a gray complexion, which is obvious. Yes, he was really under a lot of pressure during this time.

This Dortmund team does have too many talented players, but the two negative effects brought about are that the first is unstable performance, and the second is easy to fluctuate emotions. In this month, these two negative buffs have been fully stacked for Dortmund. De Favre was so devastated that he didn't know how he persevered.

The old man suffered this month's torment, so it's strange that his complexion is getting better.

So in this game, going all out and using the full offensive lineup is also a bit of a smashing meaning. With offensive tactics and offensive lineup, the young players must be more satisfied. If they can spell a miracle, then everything will be fine. And if they lose, then they should also know that the sky is high and the earth is high, and they will be more obedient in the next game.

To put it bluntly, under such circumstances, Favre can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

But for Ji Ya, it is easy to see his thoughts.

He just thought in his heart that if Dortmund wanted to fight against Southampton, it would be considered that they had found the wrong opponent.

With Southampton's current ball possession ability, so many attackers piled up in the frontcourt, it is basically tantamount to giving up possession of the ball. If Southampton has possession of the ball, no matter how many attackers Dortmund has, It is also difficult to get enough offensive opportunities, and Southampton's winning percentage will naturally be higher.

After returning to his position, Ji Ya quietly waited for the start of the game.

In his vision, Dortmund can create threats at the beginning stage, and they can also get some opportunities through storming. After Southampton completely controls the situation, it will be difficult for them to have any chance to resist.

However, Southampton got the kick-off first in this game.

They began to gradually pass in the midfield, looking for opportunities to score, while Dortmund kept running in the midfield, interfering with Southampton's offense.

After all, although the five players in the frontcourt are all offensive players, they are mainly young players, and their running interference is quite good. At least they can run and are willing to run.

The rhythm of the game is not fast, at least compared with the first round, it is much slower. In such entanglements and confrontations, Southampton slowly took advantage of the field and began to put pressure on Dortmund's defense. .

Grealish received the ball from the left and made a cross. The ball was pushed out by Akanji first. After flying outside the penalty area, it was intercepted by Valverde. The Uruguayan immediately stopped the ball and volleyed directly. misses to the right post.

Southampton's offensive failure this time did not disappoint the Southampton fans. They just sighed, and then began to clap their hands to encourage the players.

However, Dortmund's next counterattack almost made them feel a huge threat.

Dortmund quickly launched a counterattack. After passing the ball to the frontcourt, Reus' running on the right attracted some attention, but Gotze passed the ball to Pulisic on the left after receiving the ball. Dribbled the ball at high speed and went straight into Southampton's penalty area!

Although Rudiger came from the side to make up for it, he was a step slower. Seeing that Pulisic had formed a single-handedly, Mendy immediately attacked!

Mendy's decisive attack made Pulisic a little unprepared. He quickly took a small angle shot with his left foot while running, and Mendy, who was attacked, blocked the ball out of the baseline with his leg!

"It's dangerous! Southampton almost conceded the ball! Dortmund's offense played quite beautifully!"

Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Pulisic shook his head regretfully, but this offense was played beautifully, and Pulisic also felt that if the game continued like this, there were still opportunities, and the next thing to do was to seize it. up.

But what he didn't expect was that the Southampton players didn't even give him such a chance...

Dortmund continued to press in the frontcourt. Their running was still quite active. Witsel quickly got a chance in the frontcourt. He kicked a shot from the right side of the penalty area and was confiscated by Mendy.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack.

Chilwell and Grealish made a wall-kicking cooperation on the wing, and then Chilwell received the ball and went down to the bottom, and passed the ball back into the penalty area. De Bruyne followed up and took the lead. He shot with his foot and hit it slightly high under the interference of Akanji.

De Bruyne shook his head, and then ran back. This attack was a bit rushed, so pay attention next time.

That's why he's so important, he's always been able to detect what's wrong with the team's offense very steadily.

Ji Ya didn't say much off the court. At this time, there is no need to say too much. After all, although Southampton's offense was a bit hasty, he believed that De Bruyne would notice this.

Sure enough, in the next time, Southampton launched a press in the midfield, and Dortmund tried to use a fast break to score. They quickly passed behind the Southampton defense, but Cancelo interfered with Puli. With Sic's forward drive, Mendy struck out in time and held the ball in his arms.

"Nice job." Ji Ya gave a thumbs up to the field. The opponent's fast break needs to improve his concentration, but this is not impossible.

Of course, it is very difficult to maintain this state without making mistakes, so what Southampton needs to do most is to control their own midfield, increase their possession time, and reduce the number of opponents' attacks ——This is the kingly way.

It is difficult to completely block the opponent's attack, so what should we do?

That of course makes the opponent's attack times less.

This concept is actually an original idea of ​​Guardiola. No one has ever thought of using possession of the ball to completely prevent opponents from getting offensive opportunities. Even if such a situation sometimes occurs, it is only possible for top teams to do against weak teams. It is only done occasionally under Guardiola. Only under Guardiola, such a tactic allows Barcelona to do this when facing any team.

But now, this set of tactics has been carried forward at the feet of Southampton, so at this time, what Southampton needs to do most is to use possession of the ball to suppress the opponent and reduce the chance of Dortmund's fast break. Make your defense stronger.

De Bruyne discovered this just now and said that to himself.
