I brush achievements in football

The final score of the game was [-]-[-]. Alvarez performed very well. He made a lot of contributions in the game with one pass and one shot. Du Yue also scored a goal. Since the beginning of the season, he has scored in every four games. The ball showed a good state, and the remaining one was a long shot from Valverde.

Southampton, which won [-]-[-], can be said to be on the right track quickly, but it is obvious that Liverpool are in the best form. They defeated Arsenal [-]-[-] at home and won three consecutive victories. It's nothing to win, but they can win three consecutive victories with Southampton and Arsenal in their opponents, which is enough to prove how good their state is.

Chelsea also came out of the shadows, beating Norwich [-]-[-] away, Manchester City also won away, but Manchester United and Tottenham began to lose the chain, they lost to Crystal Palace and Newcastle respectively...

Judging from the results of the three rounds, Manchester City and Liverpool are the most stable.

And the next fourth round seems to prove this point.

In the fourth round of the game, Manchester City swept Brighton [-]-[-], while Liverpool beat Burnley [-]-[-] away, and Southampton stopped the pace of victory. They played against Manchester United at home. One-on-one, Manchester United showed a tenacious defensive fighting spirit in this game. Southampton finally relied on Sancho to break through Manchester United's defense, and then assisted B Fee to hit a world wave to equalize the score. In other words, a counter-attack goal by Daniel James in the first half might have helped Manchester United get three points in the away game!

In another strong dialogue, the North London Derby had a two-to-two loss. Tottenham and Arsenal played [-]-[-], while Chelsea also showed their original shape. They were tied [-]-[-] by Sheffield United.

After four rounds, it seems that the difference has begun to be clear. Liverpool is [-] points and Manchester City is [-] points ahead, followed by Leicester City with [-] points and Crystal Palace with [-] points. Arsenal also has [-] points and [-] points. There are also Everton and West Ham United. Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Southampton are also squeezed together with five points, occupying the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh positions respectively, which seems quite shameless.

Compared with Liverpool and Manchester City, which started well, the other five strong teams seem to have encountered some problems.

But next is a FIFA match day, and these problematic strong teams can get some respite.

When the players dispersed and returned to the national team, Kiya and Benelli flew to Monaco to prepare for the draw for this season's Champions League group stage.

As the defending champion of the Champions League, Southampton continues to be the first-tier team. Now the UEFA Champions League's grading regulations are like this. No matter how low your points are, the defending Champions League champion, the defending Europa League champion, and the top six European leagues Champions are all first-tier teams, and the rest rely on points to rank.

So the first tier teams this season are Southampton, Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Bayern, Paris and Zenit St. Petersburg.

There are more strong teams in the second tier. The Madrid duo are both in the second tier, as well as the Champions League runner-up Liverpool, Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Naples in the Serie A, Miners from Ukraine, Ajax in the Eredivisie, and Benfica in the Portuguese Super League. .

The teams in the third tier are Leverkusen, Valencia, Inter Milan and Lyon. The strong teams in the fourth tier include Atlanta and Leipzig. In the European arena, there are also outstanding performances.

"It's quite difficult to put together a death group for us this year. Although there are Real Madrid and other teams in the second tier, even if they are drawn with us, we have no problem. The main reason is the third tier and the third tier. There is no real player in the fourth-tier team, so maybe we will draw an easier group." Ji Ya said to Benelli with a smile.

"If you really want to embarrass us, let us draw a group with Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Leipzig..." Benelli said after thinking about it.

"Yes, but we have played too much against Real Madrid in the past few years, and we also played against Inter Milan last season, while Leipzig is relatively limited. Even in such a group, firstly, we cannot really embarrass us, secondly, there is no Too much to watch." Ji Ya shrugged.

In fact, this is also a headache for UEFA. These strong teams in the second and third tiers have indeed played too much against Southampton in recent years. Whether it is the Madrid duo or Dortmund, Southampton has not lost in recent years. Touch, if they are drawn together again, it is really meaningless.

And the performance of the Madrid duo last season was not good. This season is in the process of rebuilding. If you meet Southampton in the group stage at this time, you may lose your confidence by being beaten by Southampton. At that time What else are you playing?

Strong teams are the most aggressive when they meet Southampton in the knockout round, so instead of making a fuss about the group of death, it is better to let Southampton meet some strange opponents, which will make it easier for Southampton to appear unsuitable situation.

It has to be said that Ji Ya's current psychological deduction ability is also quite good, and UEFA's thinking has been completely inseparable from him.

Southampton was finally drawn into Group C, and the three teams in the same group were miners, Dinamo Zagreb and Atlanta...

Speaking of this grouping, it can be considered painstaking.

Although the miners are considered weak in the second tier of teams, this team has a large number of Brazilian players and has always performed quite well. The technical team met Southampton and was able to fight, while Zagrebdi Although Namor is not strong, there are many outstanding players in Croatian football over the years, who can also bring some impact, and Atlanta is the strongest team in the fourth tier.

At the same time, these three teams are relatively unfamiliar to Southampton, and they have not played against each other much before.

And if you look at the map, you will know that whether you go to Italy, Croatia or Ukraine from the UK, it is relatively far away, and these three countries are relatively close. Italy and Croatia face each other across the sea, and Croatia and Ukraine are also separated. Although these three opponents are not very strong, they can bring great influence and hindrance to Southampton on the schedule.

"The result of the draw? I'm quite satisfied. After all, I didn't meet Real Madrid or Inter Milan... But these three opponents are also very good opponents. In such a game, we still need to be careful. , schedule and away games will be a big problem for us."

Ji Ya cautiously expressed optimism during the interview. Such a group should win and won't get any praise. If it doesn't perform well, it will definitely bring criticism from many people.
