Chapter 1032 No matter how strict you are, don't give up
In the following week, it will be the fourth round of No.20 in the league, and the weekend will be the fourth round of the FA Cup. The next week will be the second round of the League Cup semi-final, and then it will be the turn of No.20 Five rounds.
Obviously, Liverpool only have to play two games before facing Southampton, and they can adjust their form in the fourth round of the FA Cup, while Southampton has to play three games. After returning, Southampton didn't even have time to rest. They played games every three or four days all the way. What will happen to their state by then is still a question.
In addition, since last season, Liverpool has maintained a three-game winning streak against Southampton in the league. Although they faced Southampton in the Champions League final, they lost two consecutive games. It can give them more psychological advantages.
Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for others to be optimistic about Southampton.
"I said, don't worry about other people, play our game well, understand?" Ji Ya said on the team's training ground.
The players nodded one after another. Ji Ya has been emphasizing this point, and in terms of physical fitness, they did not feel that they were at a disadvantage. Ji Ya was constantly rotating, and the playing time of each player was not too exaggerated, and he also played in the game. He will make substitutions according to the situation, and he can fully understand the five substitutions.
Under such circumstances, even the two cores, Du Yue and De Bruyne, are actually not very tired, because many things that require physical energy are shared by others, and others will take turns The appearances are shared with each other. In this way, they are indeed not a big problem in terms of physical fitness.
This is also Ji Ya's preparation for making more attacks in various competitions in the coming season.
After all, his team has won two triple crowns and six crowns, and the next thing to pursue is only seven crowns.
After winning the seven championships, the achievements are basically the same, and there is nothing to pursue. At that time, Ji Ya can lead the team to relax and enjoy life!
It is even a very pleasant thing to let other coaches coach and hide behind the scenes, leaving behind an immortal legend!
However, Ji Ya didn't tell anyone about this idea, he was just planning it silently.
It's just that over the years, stimulated by his achievements in leading the team, the Premier League is now involving in this way, which he did not expect.
In the No.20 four-round match, Southampton is away to challenge Crystal Palace.
This can be regarded as an old opponent. Southampton defeated them before, controlled Zaha, and then used the possession of the midfield to deal with them. Winning the victory steadily is the best way to deal with this kind of mid-range team.
This game is certainly no exception.
Although they are at the home court of Crystal Palace, Southampton still achieved good results. They constantly controlled the midfield, then looked for opportunities to score, and finally relied on Grealish and Ernesto Valverde to attack from the two sides. One goal in each hand, two goals away from the opponent, Du Yue did not score in this game, and after the team led by two goals, he was replaced together with De Bruyne, obviously Ji Ya also Hope he doesn't consume too much before facing Liverpool.
On the other hand, Liverpool relied on the goals of Henderson and Firmino in the away game, and beat the Wolves [-]-[-] in the away game, winning [-] consecutive victories in the league.
Now everyone knows the importance of the next round of the league.
It's not related to winning the championship. Southampton is missing a game now, but they are still [-] points behind Liverpool. Even if they win this game and win the make-up match, they are still [-] points behind Liverpool. Ability, the possibility of losing the league championship in the next time is not very high.
Everyone just wants to see if it is possible for Southampton's record of unbeaten season and [-]-game winning streak to be tied or broken by Liverpool!
Now the undefeated season of the Premier League is two teams, Arsenal once, Southampton won twice, and they have been unbeaten for two consecutive seasons. Strive to get the highest score, there is still hope.
Coupled with a record of more than [-] consecutive victories... All of this can only be obtained after defeating Southampton!
How brilliant Liverpool can be this season depends on this game.
Although there are still two cup games before that, especially the League Cup match against Manchester United will well involve Southampton's energy, but now many people's minds have already flown to that league game.
Of course, Kiya would never make such a mistake.
And in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Southampton also drew Tottenham at once.
If this game fails to determine the winner, Southampton will need to play a make-up match on February [-]. In this way, Southampton will have no chance to make up for that league game. The following games became more and more complicated.
So in any case, this game against Tottenham and Southampton must strive to win the game. Mourinho is obviously aware of this mentality. Under such circumstances, of course he will try his best to delay Southampton, making Southampton unable to concentrate on playing the game.
They are all foxes, so naturally they will not let go of such an opportunity.
Although beating Southampton to enter the fifth round of the FA Cup is not a particularly remarkable thing, but in the case of being beaten by Southampton in the previous league, if you can beat your opponent in the FA Cup, it will be very easy. Good to boost the morale of the whole team.
Football games are often like this. An important game may make a team start to become stronger and show its best state.
Southampton is also very difficult now, but if they can survive this devil's schedule, then they will also rekindle their strongest fighting spirit. Maybe there is still hope for this season's league!
"Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool, these are our next three opponents. Logically speaking, the cup is nothing to us. We can take a good rest and use our best form to deal with Liverpool... But do we need to give up certain goals strategically to hit a certain championship?"
Kiya asked at the team meeting.
"No need!" The Southampton players shouted in unison, and this is what they thought-we are the team that has won the Champions League for six consecutive times. Do we need to be so careful to hit certain honors and give up some honors?
Of course not!All we need is to fight together in all competitions, so that all opponents will tremble under our iron hooves!
