I brush achievements in football

However, although Bournemouth's Dale and Ake are good, Southampton does not lack such players. In the position of central defender, if the combination of De Ligt and Araujo does not change, it will be guaranteed for ten years. Yes, what they need more is a backup central defender, not to mention the goalkeeper position, the double insurance of Mendy and Martin, even if one of them is sold, what Southampton wants is a backup goalkeeper instead of the main goalkeeper.

"It's a pity." Ji Ya thought in his heart.

Now that the score is behind, he still has the leisure to think about this kind of thing, of course, because Southampton still has a huge advantage on the scene.

On the field, Southampton's offense was indeed constantly hitting the opponent's defense. When De Bruyne was marked by the opponent, Prowse took the initiative to start more organization with the ball, but De Bruyne rushed to Going to the frontcourt to catch the ball and break through, such a change of position immediately made the opponent a little uncomfortable.

It was De Bruyne's breakthrough in the No.201 minute that scored for Southampton. After he broke through from the wing, he passed back to Sancho who responded. Sancho shot vigorously, and the ball flew to the middle and was stretched by Du Yue. In the first block, he quickly changed direction and flew into the goal...

This is a seemingly missed goal, but it is a manifestation of Du Yue's ability to capture opportunities.

After being equalized by Southampton, Bournemouth launched a fierce attack unconvinced, but their offense was continuously resolved by Southampton's defense, but they still seized an opportunity and ended the first half. Before, the full-back Harry Wilson took the ball and shot it, and the ball roared and flew into the dead corner of the goal, which made Mendy feel a little stunned.

"Is there any mistake, this kind of ball can be played?" Mendy wanted to curse.

The arc of this long-range shot in the air is quite weird. The ball first flew to the upper right corner of the goal, and then changed direction and flew to the upper left corner midway. Mendy, who had already made a judgment in advance, could do nothing...

"It doesn't matter, there will always be someone who can hit this kind of ball, it's just luck... In the second half, we can use offense to kill them, don't worry too much."

Ji Ya comforted the players. Southampton's midfield is not running as smoothly as in the second half of last season, but in fact this is the norm. Last season's approach, Ji Ya is also a little cornered, and it is not very desirable. .

After all, in this environment, if you try your best to adjust the upper limit of the team's ball possession, the opponent can solve you with a single poaching. It is better to use some tactics that are not afraid of poaching corners.

So it brings some instability, and that's normal.

So at this time, what is needed is to decompress the players.

After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to suppress their opponents. This is their home court. It doesn’t matter if they lost to Liverpool before. If they are still defeated by Bournemouth, it will really affect Southampton’s image. impact.

In such a suppressive attack, Bournemouth's defense began to collapse. After all, their defense was not very good. It was mainly maintained by the outstanding performance of Ake and Dell. Easy to crash.

Du Yue took the ball from the wing again and was about to cut into the penalty area. When he saw Ake coming to defend him, he immediately chose to pass the ball. Soucek, who advanced in the middle, jumped high, but did not shake his head to attack. Instead, he headed the ball down. Alvarez followed up with a beautiful volley and scored the ball into the empty goal!

Southampton equalized again!

After the score was equalized this time, Southampton did not give their opponents any chances. Ji Ya began to maintain his suppressive ability on the field by making substitutions. He did this a few seasons ago. Every game in the midfield There will be two full substitutions to enhance running, and now the five substitutions allow him to better adopt such tactics.

McAllister and Valverde played, and after a while, Vinicius and B Fee were also sent on the field, and Southampton's offense began to continue to suppress the opponent.

Sancho, who performed well in this game, quickly created the third goal through his own breakthrough. His return pass after the bottom was received by Valverde who went forward, and the Uruguayan shot the ball close to the ground. Into the dead corner of the goal, Southampton completed the overtake.

After the overtake, it is to expand the score advantage-Du Yue's direct free kick scored twice, locking the score at four to two.

The Southampton fans began to celebrate enthusiastically. Such a score made them happy. When they were behind twice before, they thought they might not win this game...

It now appears that Southampton's overall strength is still very good, and they are just slowly regaining their continuity!

However, the performance of the strong teams in this round is not bad. Manchester City beat the bottom Watford with a surprising [-]-[-]. These eight goals were scored by six players. Except for the hat-trick in the B seat, The other five goals were scored by five players, all over the front, middle and back three lines, showing a strong multi-point offensive lineup.

Liverpool quickly regained their form after losing in the Champions League. They defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] in the away game, which made Lampard's coaching position start to become precarious.

Liverpool's victory is also their six-game winning streak since the start, but Southampton fans are very indifferent to this. Their team has created a great record of eleven consecutive victories in the opening. Liverpool wants to create a new record, but it is still far away A piece of it.

Now a series of top records in the Premier League are created by Southampton-110 consecutive victories at the beginning, [-] consecutive victories, [-] unbeaten three games, two consecutive seasons unbeaten in the league... If you want to create more records, you can Status and luck are also required.

After playing this league game, Southampton ushered in the third round of the League Cup. In previous years, Southampton had sent all substitutes in the League Cup. This year, theoretically, there will be no exception.

Their opponent in this game is the British Championship team Birmingham.

Birmingham defeated Southampton's rival Portsmouth in the first round of the League Cup this season, but Portsmouth has now been reduced to League One-when Southampton was in League One, they were in the Premier League, etc. After Southampton returned to the Premier League, they have been relegated, and now they are in the League One. Southampton fans now disdain to think that they are mortal enemies-my buddy is the team that has won the Champions League for six consecutive times. The mortal enemies are Real Madrid, Teams like Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United, Portsmouth should not come to touch porcelain!

After eliminating Portsmouth, Birmingham eliminated Queens Park Rangers, also a Championship team, and entered the third round.

However, they met Southampton, and everyone felt that this game would be just another formal game.
