I brush achievements in football

Chapter 1177

When the day of the game came, the starters of the two sides were delayed until the end before they were announced.

There is no suspense, whether it is Ji Ya or Guardiola, they have maintained their best team.

You must know that Guardiola likes to do things sometimes, but even he didn't make any mistakes at this time, because he knows that facing Southampton, unless there is really no chance of winning, don't do anything. With new tactics, Southampton's tactics are very adaptable, but using new tactics by myself will make me even more uncomfortable.

The purpose of making a new move is to be surprising, but if the surprise makes oneself more uncomfortable, it is equivalent to adding negative buffs to oneself.

Manchester City fielded a four-three-three formation with goalkeeper Ederson, two full-backs Walker and Mendy, centre-back Ruben Dias with Laporte, midfielder Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo Do Silva formed a three-man midfield, with Mahrez and Foden on the forward wings, and Sterling as the center.

Although Aguero and Jesus were hidden in the snow, these two forwards have not performed very well recently. On the contrary, Sterling is in good condition, and he also performed quite well against Southampton before. He plays center, obviously trying to take advantage of his dexterity.

Although Sterling is also a representative of happy football, what Manchester City needs now is not a lot of goals, but to seize one or two opportunities, maybe he can catch it?

Under such circumstances, even Guardiola can only rely on luck...

It is also a very helpless thing to say.

The main lineup sent by Kiya is relatively stable, which proves that Southampton's state will be more stable now. Goalkeeper Martin, defender Cancelo, Araujo, De Ligt, Chilwell, midfielder Shao Check, with Grealish and De Bruyne on both sides, Vinicius and Valverde on the forward wings, and Du Yue as the center.

This is Southampton's most stable main lineup since this period of time.

"Players from both sides are already on the field! Ji Ya and Guardiola shook hands at the exit! These two coaches are obviously the key to European football this season, and both sides have a chance to win the quadruple crown! Of course, Southampton in the league Dayton has a great advantage, but who is right now? Whoever wins the League Cup first will have the upper hand in this season!"

For the past games, the League Cup is actually considered tasteless, and the giants don't particularly care about it, including Southampton. They have always used cup games to train young players before, which can be seen.

But in the case of winning the quadruple crown, who would dare to underestimate the League Cup?

So in this game, both sides have come up with all the main lineups, which is enough to prove the importance of this game.

"Your league is very difficult, let's give up the League Cup first." Ji Ya said to Guardiola.

Guardiola no longer cared about Ji Ya's words, but replied with a smile: "Any game that can stop you, you have to work hard."

Ji Ya curled his lips. This is the scary thing about Guardiola. He can keep calm under such circumstances. There is really no way to relax when dealing with such a guy.

"Playing this kind of game is really tiring. After winning a quadruple championship, I can't be so stupid next time." Ji Ya thought in his heart.

It is indeed a lot of pressure to hit such an honor. After all, for Southampton, they need to maintain concentration in all games. After they get it, they can relax a lot. The main force is still in the league. And the Champions Cup to protect the honor, the cup will follow the fate.

You must know that in all such games, there is no room for loss. Not only are the players tired, but the coach will be even more tired.

Players from both sides are scattered on the field. The Southampton players have high fighting spirit. Although they are tired, Ji Ya bears most of the pressure. They only need to show their best side on the field. In such a situation Under the circumstances, their performance is of course much better.

As for the players of Manchester City, their fighting spirit is also very high. Although facing an opponent like Southampton can easily cause people to have bad emotions, in fact, they still have opportunities in various competitions. For the sake of honor, I will give my all.

From the very beginning of the game, the two teams, which mainly controlled the ball, began to fight fiercely in the midfield...!

It doesn't look like they are good at it. In fact, as a team that is good at possession, they are also good at pressing.

In the set of ball possession tactics that Guardiola has come up with, high position pressing and ball possession passing are equally important.

And Ji Ya was the first to crack this tactic, relying on the aggressive midfield press, which made it impossible for the opponent to pass well.

The two have been competing since the last two years when Guardiola coached Barcelona. Until now, of course one thing is clear, that is, in the entanglement between the two sides, in addition to possession of the ball, pressing is also very important.

Adding more difficulty to the opponent's pass, then you can take advantage of your own ball possession offense.

This made the two sides not show any outstanding skills shortly after the start of the game. Instead, they left a deep impression on the fans in the pressing running and confrontation...

"The performance of these two teams can be regarded as a characteristic of modern football. Although they are technical teams, their running and destructive pressing are all at the top level! The current top teams must be strong in everything. , rather than just relying on a certain item.”

In the commentary of the commentator, a few minutes passed quickly. Manchester City's press first achieved some results. Vinicius made a mistake in the return pass, and the ball was taken by Sterling who retreated, and then he began to accelerate forcefully. Breaking through, he was entangled by Araujo when he was about to enter the penalty area. The two entangled together, but they failed to touch the ball. Both fell to the ground, and the ball was taken by the attacking Martin.

Sterling raised his hands to signal a foul, but the referee ignored him.

Next, Southampton's ball-holding attack continued to be constantly pressed by the opponent. Under such circumstances, Southampton controlled the ball and did not allow the opponent to continue to press successfully. After taking the ball from the right, De Bruyne continued He played a pass with Cancelo and Valverde, and then passed the ball to the middle. Du Yue pretended to respond, but crossed his legs and missed the ball. Vinicius followed up with a kick Shot, the ball flew out of the far post.

"Southampton also quickly completed the counterattack! As soon as the rhythm of the game came up, it created some murderous intentions in the seemingly dull pressing confrontation. Fans have to concentrate on watching the game, because you may If you lose your mind for a moment, you will miss a wonderful goal!" A commentator shouted.
