Chapter 1165

For Arsenal's players, without the burden, they really showed their best side.

Southampton's players, however, looked just as good, if not better.

They steadily resisted Arsenal's counterattack, and at the same time kept controlling the situation on the field. Even though they only dispatched almost half of the main players, they still stabilized their position and did not give Arsenal too many opportunities.

Instead, in the second half, using a set kick, Vardy scored a header to seal the victory. [-]-[-], Southampton beat Arsenal lightly and reached the fifth round of the FA Cup.

"I have to say that in this game, both Southampton and Arsenal showed extremely high standards. In the game, less than half of Southampton's main players played, and Arsenal also sent a big team. Some young players are on the field, but the level of ball possession and attack and defense on both sides is quite high. In addition to marveling at Southampton's overall strength, we should also face up to what Arteta has brought to Arsenal Huge changes. Although their current ranking is still relatively low, in the future, they should bring some surprises."

After the game, many media praised Arsenal's performance. This was not to make life difficult for Southampton, but to really feel that Arsenal performed well.

"Arsenal may be a good opponent in the future, but Arteta still needs to improve, not only the overall tactics, but also the ability to recruit and build a team. This is not easy to do... He is now There is still a certain distance from Wenger, let alone Wenger may not be able to play well in the current Premier League."

Kiya told Benelli privately that he is still optimistic about Arsenal's future, but it is clear that Manchester City is Southampton's biggest opponent at this stage.

As for Tottenham just after the coaching change, it is difficult to create any pressure on Southampton.

In the last semi-final, Southampton defeated Tottenham [-]-[-] in the away game. Although it did not seem to be a big advantage, but in the away game, Southampton played leisurely again. When they returned home, they would not give How many opportunities for Tottenham.

Mason still attaches great importance to this game. He hopes to give Southampton a good look in the game, so in this game, he sent almost all the main players, trying to overtake Southampton in the away game and enter the League Cup. In the finals, get a decent championship.

After all, although Tottenham have performed well in recent years, they have never had a champion, not even a League Cup champion, which is too embarrassing.

If he can win the League Cup, that would be a big breakthrough. For Mason, he doesn't want to be just a transitional coach.

Of course there is nothing wrong with such an idea, but unfortunately, they met Southampton.

In this game, Ji Ya still sent a lot of substitutes. Only Du Yue and De Bruyne continued to play as the main players. It should perform better than Arsenal, which sent a large number of substitutes.

But the uncertainty of football is immediately revealed at this time.

At the Saints Stadium, Southampton did not do well in controlling the midfield. However, Tottenham bravely launched an attack, but the defense was constantly pierced by Southampton's counterattack...

Although they focused on marking Du Yue, they still failed to defend. Not long after the opening, Du Yue picked out the opponent's defender in a counterattack, and then volleyed the goal without stopping the ball, taking the lead in opening the scoring for Southampton.

Kane leveled the score shortly afterwards, and the draw gave Spurs a boost, thinking they had a chance, but...

Vinicius scored again with a beautiful counterattack. He scored after passing two people in a row. Before the end of the first half, it was Vinicius's breakthrough again. Musiala followed up with a clever shot from the far corner and scored. Expand the score advantage to two goals.

In addition to the victory in the first round, this is the advantage of three goals. Ji Ya replaced Du Yue and De Bruyne, but Southampton did not immediately lose the upper hand. Instead, they patiently counterattacked one after another. through the other side's door...

Alvarez's single goal and Prowse's direct free kick scored two more goals in the second half. Although Tottenham relied on Son Xingmin's goal to get back a point, they still failed to recover from the defeat.

[-] to [-] at home, [-] to [-] in two rounds, Southampton achieved a brilliant victory!

In another game, Manchester City was tied by Manchester United at home in the first round, and they beat Manchester United [-]-[-] in the away game. They also entered the final of the League Cup. This final will be played in the two rounds of the Champions League knockout round. It is clear that this will be a great opportunity for Manchester City to stop Southampton's quadruple winner.

"I am very happy to enter the final of the League Cup... The quadruple is our goal, so the League Cup cannot be let go. Our players? They are already used to this kind of game rhythm, and our bench is thick enough for our team Players use their best form to deal with all the next games."

Ji Ya smiled at the press conference after the game and said that after this game, Southampton's main task is the league. Before the start of the Champions League knockout round, there is only one FA Cup fifth game left. In the first round of the game, but the opponent is Wolves, Southampton still has a great chance.

Now they can perform a little better in the league.

Southampton played against Newcastle on the weekend, while Manchester City challenged Liverpool away. This is also a good opportunity for Southampton to expand its lead again, but for this, Southampton's players don't care anymore, as long as their own performance No problem, then Manchester City can't shake their advantage!

After all, after this game, there will be a make-up match against Liverpool. If you can win that game, then no team will be a threat to Southampton—all the strong teams have already lost Given Southampton, even if they can rise up next, it will be difficult to catch up with Southampton, which already has at least a [-]-point advantage!

As for Newcastle... this team is currently ranked No.17, which is just a little above the relegation zone. Of course, their lead is still not small. Now they are ahead of No.18 Fulham by a full seven points This season's relegation teams are not very competitive. With these three teams at the bottom, other teams basically will not be in any danger of relegation.

It is precisely because of this that it is really difficult to give people confidence in how much fighting spirit Newcastle can maintain against Southampton.
