I brush achievements in football

"The first round away game against the miners will be very important...but they rely on technology and impact. As long as there is no problem with our performance, there is no problem in beating them. Our biggest difficulty lies in the schedule. Southampton to Donetsk, that's a long way."

When the team regrouped, Ji Ya sighed and said something, and the players all laughed. Indeed, Ukraine is still a little too far away.

However, this is also the farthest of the three away games. As long as the performance is good and the opponent is won, then the impact of this group on Southampton will be nothing.

So in the league game before this game, Ji Ya sent most of the substitutes.

The goalkeeper is Mendy who has returned from injury, the right back Rudiger, the center back is partnered by Araujo and Chambers, the left back is Peters, and the midfielder De Bruyne still wears the captain's armband. Supporting him are McAllister and Phillips, forwards Du Yue, Vinicius and Sancho.

This is obviously a substitute lineup. Even the three main players did not play in the defense. Although the opponent is the newly promoted Sheffield United, this lineup seems a bit too much.

After all, Sheffield United drew Chelsea [-]-[-] in the last round!

"It is precisely because they drew with Chelsea, so they are more inflated. We patiently entangled with them and lured them to press and attack us. When the time comes, it will be our chance." Ji Ya said to Nan'an in the locker room Puton players said.

For young players, this season, the chances they get to play really seem to be much more.

And some of them are indeed very capable. For example, Sancho was basically half of the main force last season, and this season he can be more active in the winger position.

The players of Sheffield United are indeed very motivated in this game.

As a newly promoted team, they also scored five points in the first four rounds, which is the same as Southampton's points. They defeated Crystal Palace, drew with Chelsea and Bournemouth, and only lost to Leicester City. Under the circumstances, facing Southampton, it will indeed appear to be a little more thoughtful.

Although they also know that Southampton's poor state is temporary, and their current ranking is also temporary, but it does not mean that they have no chance to make some money from Southampton in such a game .

Didn't Burnley get it in the first round?It is a blessing to be able to score even one point against Southampton!

The newly promoted who still lacks the experience of being beaten by Southampton is so excited to start planning to bite off a piece of meat from Southampton at his home court!

Then they were beaten by Southampton.

In the entanglement in the midfield, they were not at a disadvantage, but seemed to have a little advantage, which made them more active in tug-of-war and press with Southampton, consuming a lot of their physical energy.

Then, when they got entangled a little bit, Du Yue retreated to get the ball and then made a straight pass, and found Sancho who was going forward. Southampton scored first!

After taking the lead, Southampton played more calmly, and the somewhat anxious Sheffield United players began to press more actively, but it didn't have a good effect. Instead, before the end of the first half, Vinicius received a Du Yue's pass passed two people in the penalty area and volleyed from the far corner to score!

Two young wingers scored in the first half, and it was Du Yue's turn in the second half. Shortly after the start of the second half, Du Yue scored his fourth goal of the season after receiving a cross from Peters in the penalty area. League goals.

After [-]-[-], Ji Ya began to make frequent substitutions. Prouse, Valverde, Vardy and Alvarez were sent on the field one after another. Such a large number of substitutions did not consume much physical energy for the Southampton players. .

In the second half, Southampton, who began to occupy an absolute advantage in the midfield, continued to tear apart Sheffield United's defense through offense, and Sheffield United could only support themselves at home.

However, Vardy still scored a goal in the second half. Southampton swept Sheffield United [-]-[-], proving their strength-even with most of the substitutes, it is not something a newly promoted team can shake!

"Southampton completed a hearty victory! But in terms of their strength, there is no doubt that they did this! Liverpool won again this round, leading with five consecutive victories, while Manchester City unexpectedly lost [-]-[-] to Norwich! They also sent a large number of substitutes to prepare for the Champions League. However, this score seems to prove that Manchester City is still a little worse than Southampton in terms of overall strength, but Liverpool is now imposing. They look so unstoppable, I don’t know how long they can last in this state!”

For this round of evaluation, the media expressed their opinions one after another. This round of strong teams are all good, Southampton [-]-[-], Liverpool [-]-[-], Tottenham beat the previous fourth-ranked Crystal Palace [-]-[-]. To zero, Chelsea swept Wolves [-]-[-] in an away game, while Manchester United beat Leicester City by one goal. In comparison, Manchester City, who lost the game, and Arsenal, who were drawn by Watford at the bottom, are very embarrassing. up.

Ji Ya didn't comment much on this. At the beginning of the season, except for Liverpool in good form, it is normal for other teams to have some ups and downs. Liverpool's form is too early. Maybe they will have some problems in the second half of the season.

Ji Ya has always preferred to have problems in the first half of the season rather than in the second half of the season, because although it doesn't matter in the league, in the Champions League, there is no problem at the knockout stage.

Southampton's ability to always have the last laugh in the cup has a lot to do with their characteristics of always adjusting and finding problems in the first half of the season, and starting to sprint in the second half of the season.

"Okay, next we will cross almost the entire European continent, and then go to Donetsk in Ukraine. The weather there is not the same as ours here, but it is summer now, so the impact is not big. If it is the first stage of the knockout round Going to Russia or Ukraine to compete would be a real pain."

Before boarding the plane, Ji Ya first gave the players some psychological training, and then led the team to board the plane to Ukraine.

Shakhtar Donetsk, this is a team that has performed well in recent seasons, the overlord of the Ukrainian league, the old rival Dynamo Kyiv suppressed to death, and a frequent visitor to the Champions League knockout round.

Now, Southampton will face such an opponent.
