Chapter 1139 Never Doubt Them

In all competitions this season, Manchester City is likely to be Southampton's biggest enemy. Regarding this point, Ji Ya is already mentally prepared. After all, for Southampton, Liverpool's fast attack They have already adapted to their style of play. Only Manchester City, this kind of ball-holding team, no matter how familiar you are, when dealing with them, you have to play step by step.

Just like in this game, although Southampton is strong and Manchester City doesn't even have a center forward, Southampton still can only fight against the opponent slowly and use a slow pace to find opportunities.

Of course, Southampton will be more cautious in doing so.

Such caution is not because they are too cautious, but because Manchester City does not really have no defensive strength.

In the No. 15 minute of the game, Manchester City relied on a beautiful counterattack to score the first goal!

Seat B switched to the middle, took the ball and started to move forward at high speed, and then he passed the ball to Gundogan on the side. After receiving the ball, Gundogan forced a breakthrough, and then crossed the ball into the penalty area. The speed is quite fast, and Sterling's forward penetration is just right, and he fell to the ground and shot before Dericht made a clearance!

The ball quickly changed direction, and then flew into the far corner of the goal. Faced with this close-range tackle, Martin could only make a save, and then watched the ball fly into the goal!

There was booing from the Southampton fans in the stands.

Sterling began to celebrate excitedly. His previous performances made people complain, but in the process of scoring this goal, he showed an extremely good state...

It can only be said that he is indeed a fascinating player.

"Sterling's clever shovel shot opened the scoring for Manchester City! I have to say that he is still capable. As long as he plays normally, he can bring a great threat!"

The commentator sighed and said something, but it is obvious that Sterling's goal immediately stimulated the Southampton players!

In such entanglement and confrontation, Southampton did not score the goal first, which is a bit shameful in the eyes of Southampton players.

After showing an excellent state in the game, but the opponent scored first, then they must recover the score in the next time!

This is true even if the opponent is Manchester City.

With such a mentality, the Southampton players began to play more seriously after the re-kick-off, and they began to show the limit of their ball-handling ability!

After the game restarted, they patiently continued to control the ball and continue to attack, but they did not give the opponent any chance to grab the ball!

After the game restarted, they kept attacking!

After holding the ball back and forth for 5 consecutive minutes, Southampton created a chance. Grealish put the ball into the penalty area. The foot shot was blocked by Dias, who was filled in time.

After 1 minute, Southampton attacked again, Du Yue scored the ball, Valverde volleyed from the penalty area line, Ederson flew to block the ball, the ball flew to the other side of the penalty area, Vinicius Si also made a volley shot, which was blocked by Rodri who returned to defend.

After these two attacks, Southampton began to keep possession of the ball again, looking for opportunities. This kind of sudden two attacks, seeing that the opponent is still vigilant, so they start to control the ball again, in fact, it is really good for the defensive players. It's a pretty big test.

At least at this time, Manchester City's players began to feel the pressure.

Southampton continued to attack with passing balls. They didn't hit the penalty area, but they seemed to hit the penalty area at any time.

This kind of uncertainty has put the pressure on Manchester City's defenders to become greater and greater.

After passing for seven or eight minutes, Southampton's seemingly inadvertent attack brought a goal!

De Bruyne took the ball in the middle, and his holding the ball made the Manchester City players nervous, but instead of launching an attack quickly, he passed the ball to Grealish who was a little closer to the wing. This pass, The Manchester City players unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after Grealish received the ball, he adjusted slightly, kicked up quickly, and passed the ball directly into the penalty area!

This is a curve ball from the left, and the ball flew directly to the back of the penalty area!

In that position, Valverde cuts in at high speed, and then on the run he shakes off Mendy and jumps towards the ball.

Ederson immediately began to move his feet to block the front point, and the attention of the two central defenders was also attracted. However, Valverde did not shake his head to attack the goal, but quickly swung his head and ferried the ball to the middle of the penalty area!

Du Yue, who jumped in at that position at high speed, threw off all the defenders, and facing the falling ball, he directly bent over and rushed to the top!

"The goal is scored! Wonderful cooperation! Grealish's long pass transfer, Valverde's header ferry, Du Yue's relay leaned over and scored! One to one tie! Southampton equalized in the No.207 minute! And in the All the while, they kept the ball in control! What an amazing thing!"

In the chanting of the commentator, the Southampton fans began to shout loudly, they shouted Du Yue's name, and there was a little dissonance in the middle-did Sterling see it?This is the real top shooter!You can't even play the main force in the national team...

I have to say that if the fans started to mock people, it would be a real murder.

The City players who had been equalized wanted to fight back, but Southampton continued to control the situation on the field for the rest of the time.

They don't have many shots, but they are a big threat every time.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, Araujo shook his head and hit the goal, and Ederson held the ball in his arms.

Valverde made a pass from the side, Stones headed the ball out of the baseline, and it was another corner kick. Araujo once again grabbed the first spot, but his header went above the crossbar.

Before the end of the first half, Southampton launched a counter-attack in the frontcourt. This successful counter-attack allowed them to get the ball. Vinicius broke into the penalty area and forced a bottom to win a corner. Too many threats.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Southampton fans felt a little regretful. In the first half, their team had a considerable advantage, but unfortunately the score was only a draw.

Of course, such a regret will not make them reduce their applause. In the thunderous applause, the Southampton players ran off the field. They had no doubts about their team's victory in the second half!

Of course, the Southampton players do not doubt this.
