I brush achievements in football

When Guardiola knew the result of Liverpool's away defeat to Southampton, he sighed. He also sent most of the main players in this game. In the away game, he beat Fulham, who was fighting for relegation, [-]-[-]. Suppressing Liverpool by one point, but originally he hoped that Liverpool and Southampton would suffer both losses. It would be best if they both consumed a lot of energy, and it would be best to get a few injuries...

As a result, none of the expectations appeared now, Liverpool won, Southampton and Liverpool did not fight hard, and no one was injured.

"Jiya, this guy, knows that he has no hope of winning the league, so he started messing with me, right?" Guardiola thought silently in his heart.

However, he also knows that this is the most sensible choice for Ji Ya, to maintain a certain pressure in the league, so that neither Manchester City nor Liverpool dare to slack off, but at the same time preserve his physical fitness and strength, and show his best in the Champions League Not to mention the fact that Southampton's previous [-]-game winning streak allowed them to secure the third position, but they could still threaten the top two. Such a natural position, if Ji Ya doesn't do anything, then he will It's not called Ji Ya anymore.

But even if he knows, Guardiola can't do anything about it. He can't say that Southampton is playing match-fixing. They also fought hard on the field and scored goals. What can they do to lose the game in the end? It's just that they didn't fight hard enough. , You can't fight until you have half your life left because you will face Manchester City in the Champions League next, so that Manchester City can easily advance.

So Guardiola didn't say anything even in the interview, but just said that Southampton and Liverpool are both excellent, and it's normal who wins and who loses. I didn't see that in the cycle of the three teams, Southamp Dayton had a double play against Manchester City, but was double-killed by Liverpool, while Manchester City had one win and one draw with Liverpool in two rounds.

Moreover, Manchester City, which has the worst performance in the three-way match, ranks first in the league instead. This is enough to prove that it is really complicated who wins and who loses among the strong teams.

"Next at Southampton's home court, we will perform better... Southampton is our biggest opponent in the Champions League this season. We need to show our full strength in the game."

When leaving for Southampton, Guardiola said in an interview.

Although there are many games worth watching in the quarter-finals, the match between Southampton and Manchester City has still become the focus of attention.

This season the Premier League teams have indeed performed very well, especially Manchester City, they have shown their strength, and against Southampton, who has won five consecutive championships, people will look forward to whether they are the ones who stop Southampton Continuing the Champions League winning team?

If Manchester City can't do it, with Real Madrid and Bayern already eliminated, is there any other team that can stop Southampton in this season's Champions League?

Barcelona and Liverpool?It seems to be a little bit worse, not so stable...

So this game can almost be said to have attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

"Manchester City performed very well this season. In the last round, they scored [-] goals against Schalke, which is shocking. But we are not bad. Don't forget, in the league, we double-killed Manchester City. .” Ji Ya said with a smile in an interview before the match.

Regarding Ji Ya's mention of Manchester City's double play in the league from the very beginning, many people began to think-is this guy guilty?That's why it was so high-profile from the beginning.

After all, in the previous Champions Cup matches, Ji Ya was generally relatively low-key, but the sudden high-profile at this time seemed a bit wrong.

But for Guardiola, no matter what Ji Ya said, he would not care. After so many years, he has already learned that when facing Ji Ya, the most important thing to do is to stabilize his emotions , don't be led by the nose by Ji Ya's words.

Anyway, the state of both sides is very good now, Manchester City is as stable as Mount Tai, and Southampton has also adjusted its state recently. between.

Not making mistakes will be what these two teams need to do.

The Southampton fans greeted this game with great enthusiasm. They also know that the league is dead now. There are only five rounds left in the league. Manchester City has 83 points and Liverpool has 82 points. Southampton has only won the last three rounds After one game, the points are only 74 points, nine points behind the top of the list, there is almost no hope.

However, they are still very stable in third place now. Now No.4 Chelsea has 66 points and is still eight points behind them. They can indeed meet the next game with ease.

April [-], Saints Stadium.

Southampton fans packed the stadium to the brim, and the voices of more than 1000 Manchester City fans who came from afar were suppressed by them. You must know that although there were only more than 5000 Southampton fans entering the stadium, almost Everyone in Southampton came, and those who didn't enter the stadium gathered around the stadium. Their shouts resounded through the sky!

With such enthusiastic support from fans, the fighting spirit of Southampton players will naturally be stimulated.

During the warm-up, the players became more and more confident. They sweated on the field and gradually stimulated their state.

Ji Ya is also looking forward to the next game. The Southampton players showed an excellent state, and in such a game, a good state is the prerequisite and hope for winning.

"Okay, next we have to face Manchester City... What I want to say is that in this game, we need to maintain enough calm and steady mentality, and use the ball to compare with them. We are home , Manchester City is an away game, so Guardiola will choose conservative tactics in the away game, strive for a draw, and then go to win at home, this is also his habit, since he led the team to be eliminated by Inter Milan, he has been like this. "

As Ji Ya said in the locker room, the players all laughed. This is also a famous scene. At that time, Guardiola led Barcelona, ​​which was invincible in the world, and it was indeed a bit swollen. Due to the impact of the volcanic ash, he could not take a plane and had to take a bus to Milan. , when his physical fitness was not good, he still dared to play against Inter Milan in the away game. As a result, although he had the advantage in the first half, his physical fitness completely collapsed in the second half, and he was beaten by Inter Milan in his own half. Losing three games, he couldn't attack for a long time in the second round and was eliminated, achieving the reputation of Inter Milan's Triple Crown.

Guardiola was more stable in the away game, and they could lose one less away game. In the second round, they were able to reverse Inter Milan and enter the final. At that time, Bayern's level was also average. If Barcelona failed, they would become Southampton's previous Champions League defender. The champion team, maybe they can make persistent efforts to win the Triple Crown.

After that, every time Guardiola played away games, he was very stable.
