I brush achievements in football

The intermission time, in the fans' feeling, is so long.

After all, the first half was so exciting. When they watched the game, they felt how fast the time passed, so at this time, they would feel how slow the time passed.

But no matter how slow it was, it only took two to ten minutes. Soon, players from both sides came out of the player tunnel in twos and threes, ready to start the second half of the game.

Whoever can enter the semi-finals of this season's Champions Cup will look at the 45 minutes of the game in the second half-it is impossible to have overtime in this game. No matter what the situation is, the result will appear after 45 minutes.

Fans from both sides applauded loudly in the stands, expecting a better performance in the second half.

"Both sides did not make substitutions! It seems that both Ji Ya and Guardiola are very satisfied with the first half of the game! But this is normal. It will cause problems on the field, I think, if there is a substitution, it must be in the next time, if there is any change in the situation between the two sides, only one side will take the initiative to change. "

Amidst the comments of the commentator, the second half of the game began.

Southampton, who kicked off, quickly showed their offensive ability after the start of the second half. They began to attack based on the midfield, and Manchester City began to press and confront frantically in the midfield, which made Southampton's offense unable to go smoothly. developed.

"Oh, these guys, really plan to consume us? Can they consume us more?" Benelli said with some surprise.

His surprise is of course justified. In terms of physical fitness, Southampton has the advantage. After all, they have a good rest in the league, and Manchester City dare not relax in the league. If they continue to fight like this, Southampton still has the advantage. obviously.

Ji Ya shook his head: "They are not trying to compete with us, but to use such pressure to make our opportunities more difficult to grasp. They try to seize a few more opportunities, and they will naturally gain an advantage... You know Once they gain an advantage, they start to recover their defense, and it will be very difficult for us to suppress their goals."

Benelli suddenly realized.

Indeed, despite the fact that Manchester City also play possession and attack, in fact their defense is quite good. In the past few years since Guardiola took office, although he has also introduced many offensive players in the frontcourt, such as Sane and Mahrez , B seat, Gundogan, but Manchester City's investment in this aspect is relatively small, a lot of investment is placed on the defense and goalkeeper, Ederson, Bravo, Otamendi, Laporte, Stones, Walker, Danilo, Mendy... These people are all very expensive, which also proves how much Guardiola values ​​defense.

And under his training, Manchester City's defense has also begun to be quite good, otherwise they would not have faced such a strong suppression by Southampton in the first round and only conceded one goal in the end.

Therefore, it is normal for Guardiola to switch to defense after gaining a score advantage. Under such circumstances, it is not a big deal to consume a little more energy now.

"Then how do we deal with it?" Benelli asked Kiya.

"There are not many good ways to deal with it. We can only wait. If we can withstand their attack, we can find an opportunity to counterattack. If they really take the lead and start to defend, it is our ability to seize opportunities." Ji Ya replied.

Benelli nodded thoughtfully, Kiya's response sounded like nonsense, but it was quite the right choice.

That's the only way, otherwise what else?

At this time, Du Yue, who was watching the game at home, sneezed involuntarily.

He also regrets it now-how did he get hurt?This time is the most critical time. With this injury, what should I do if I can't win the Champions Cup for six consecutive times?

But Du Yue also knew that haste makes waste. Injuries should not be rushed. He had to heal quietly so that he could heal faster.

And he has used all kinds of methods that can speed up the recovery, and the next step is to look at his ability to heal himself.

"You must hold on, guys, when I come back, you won't be playing so hard!" Du Yue said to himself.

At this time, the Southampton players on the field are really missing Du Yue.

If Du Yue is on the court, he occasionally makes a few breakthroughs after taking the ball, which can relieve the pressure on his own defense, and when he is in the frontcourt, the opponent's offense will not dare to be too arrogant and afraid He made a few counterattacks, causing his defense to collapse.

This is the advantage of having the sharpest knife. Although it seems useless for defense, in fact, being able to contain the opponent's attack is equivalent to increasing one's own defensive ability.

Now that Du Yue is gone, whether it is B Fei, Vardy or Sancho, their deterrence has involuntarily dropped a lot.

Manchester City's offense began to become more and more intense. Seat B once again broke through Chilwell's defense on the wing. Chilwell was forced to foul. Manchester City got a free kick from the wing. Gundogan made a free kick. Wei Silva headed forward and scored with a header, the ball was slightly higher.

David Silva can grab a header in the penalty area, which shows how much offensive pressure Manchester City is creating at the moment...

Southampton struggled to launch a counterattack. Sancho received a long pass from De Bruyne on the right, and then forcibly broke through the bottom pass. Vardy shook his head in front of the goal and was saved by Ederson. Kompany immediately made a clearance, the ball flew out of the penalty area, and the follow-up B Fei shot directly without stopping the ball. The ball was thrown by Edson again, and then flew to press the ball under his body.

The Southampton fans in the stands sighed. The counterattack was good, but unfortunately they still failed to score.

But after such a counterattack, our defensive pressure should be relieved a little, right?

While the Southampton fans were thinking this way, Manchester City launched another attack.

However, the Southampton players still withstood this wave of Manchester City's offense.

"Passing the ball back and forth can certainly form a suppression, but it can't form a decisive opportunity! Southampton's defense is quite complete. They can make up for all their flaws under such circumstances. Manchester City wants to pass this way. It’s still a bit difficult to score goals.”

"That's right, Southampton's defense is a whole. They complement and assist each other, and they don't give Manchester City much room to attack, and the counterattack just now proved that Southampton's offense is still very threatening. If Manchester City If they still can't get a decisive chance, they will not be able to suppress Southampton sooner or later!"
