I brush achievements in football

For Southampton fans, they will be very happy this Christmas-after qualifying early from the Europa League group stage, Southampton won three more games in the league in one breath, ranking third in the league. Wanxi was also beaten [-]-[-] by them at home, and in the last round of the Europa League, Southampton, who went to the away game, although they rotated part of the main players, also drew with Juventus in the away game. Relying on the advantages of mutual win-loss relationship, they overwhelmed Sevilla and won the first place in the group.

Southampton has three wins, two draws and one loss, first with eleven points, Sevilla is also second with eleven points, Juventus tied for six consecutive group matches, third with six points, Salzburg is tied with Juventus Tus has two games and is at the bottom with two points.

Judging from this result, Southampton's performance is not bad, it can even be said to be very good. After all, in such a death group, it is not easy to win the championship one round ahead of time and get the first place in the group matter.

Of course, this is mainly because Juventus' performance is surprising. If they can get six points against Salzburg, then their points can also reach ten points, and there is still a great chance in the final round.

So Southampton fans have reason to have a Merry Christmas.

However, in the office building of the Southampton training base, the office of the chairman and head coach was still lit on Christmas night.

Ji Ya is still working - he doesn't celebrate Christmas, he has no interest in this show, besides, he is alone now, he has few friends, and he is even less interested in celebrating Christmas.

As we all know, England's games are more intensive around Christmas and New Year's Day, so don't even think about it during the winter break, so Ji Ya is also preparing for the intensive games during this period.

On December 26th, they played an away game against rival Portsmouth. On December 28th, they played at home against No.17 Leicester City. On January [-]st, they played at home against Crystal Palace, which was fighting for relegation. On January [-]rd, they played an away game against No.[-] Leicester City. Midstream Derbyshire.

Every one or two days, there is a game. Fortunately, Portsmouth is far away from Southampton, so they don't have to run around.

These four opponents are theoretically lower teams and should be easier to play, but considering that Portsmouth is a deadly enemy, Leicester City and Crystal Palace are both relegation teams, so Derby County has nothing to do. Such a game is not easy to play at all.

"It was not difficult to play them in the last game, but I am afraid that we will encounter some difficulties in the second game in a short period of time. I don't know who arranged the schedule. It is so weird."

Stretching, Ji Ya got up from the desk, and then prepared to leave the office and go back to have a good sleep.

As soon as he opened the door of the office, he was immediately taken aback.

"Merry Christmas!"

In the corridor of the office building, there were many people waiting there at some point, waiting for him to appear, and shouted loudly.

"you……"

Ji Ya was speechless, he saw his three assistant coaches, and he also saw the club's executive manager Frye, financial director Jones, youth academy director Placente, team doctor Taylor... Of course, all the first team members were indispensable. member.

"You guys don't celebrate Christmas, so come here to scare me into doing something." Ji Ya said.

"The boss doesn't celebrate Christmas, so why are we embarrassed, so we discussed it..." Frye turned his head and looked at everyone, "We decided that this Christmas, we will have a big party at the club. Managers and members of the first team are taking part, right inside the training ground!"

"Damn, you guys managed to hide me until this time, it seems that I'm going to be ostracized." Ji Ya felt his eyes were a little wet, and said quickly.

Indeed...the British don't gather together for Christmas like this. They are more used to being with their families. This kind of large gathering is usually used when there is something to do, such as Christmas and New Year. They all choose to stay in their own homes.

Although many of the first team members are not British, they are all similar in their attitude towards Christmas.

At this time, I can think of Ji Ya celebrating Christmas alone, and thus organize to celebrate Christmas together... This is indeed what Ji Ya did not expect, and he can't help being moved a lot.

"It has to be voluntary, and the players can't leave their families behind at this time." Kiya said to Frye.

"Don't worry, they are all with their families, and they are all very happy. This is also a rare experience, and it proves that the club treats the players as their own." Frye replied.

Only then did Ji Ya feel relieved. After walking down from the second floor, Ji Ya realized that the large conference room and tactical hall on the first floor had been vacated, and the buffet table was set up, and there was even a band next to it...

"Damn, you guys are really well prepared." Ji Ya couldn't help but say something.

"Okay, the chairman goes up and talks, and then we can have a fun day!" Fry pushed him up.

Ji Ya involuntarily staggered two steps forward, then took a glass of champagne and a spoon from the person next to him, walked onto the stage, knocked on the glass twice, and everyone's eyes were on him.

"I don't have anything to say about letting me come temporarily. It's not my fault. After all, I only knew about such a party 2 minutes ago."

Ji Ya said, the players in the audience burst into laughter.

"I am very happy that everyone gave me this surprise... Since the beginning of this season, we have performed very well. It can even be said that in the past six months, no one can find fault with our performance. I can only say that I hope to be able to share with everyone Be here next year too, celebrating our good halfway through the Premier League!"

The players began to clap their hands one after another, which is what they wanted to say, although many of them knew that when Southampton entered next year's Premier League, they might not have their place.

But as long as there is such a wonderful season, it is worth it for them.

The world of professional football is like this, sometimes you can't go to the top together with your teammates, but in the process of reaching the top, follow along and contribute, which is also his own glory!

This night, Ji Ya drank a lot of wine, he usually doesn't drink at all, but he didn't feel too drunk, instead his eyes became brighter the more he drank.

"Boss, your drinking capacity is really..."

Benelli covered his mouth. As an Englishman, he thought he could drink enough. He wanted to overwhelm his boss, who usually didn't drink, but he almost overwhelmed himself.

Ji Ya is also a little strange, he really doesn't touch alcohol usually, he has drank it before, his alcohol capacity is very poor, when did his alcohol capacity increase?

After much deliberation, it can only be attributed to the fact that he has strengthened his physical fitness before, and if his physical fitness is enhanced, his drinking capacity will also increase...
