Chapter 1204 Don't Look At Your Face Anymore

Manchester City is indeed in a dilemma now.

At least Guardiola knew in his heart that he couldn't kill time deliberately because Southampton took back the defense. Will take a chance and kill the game.

And if they continue to attack, Southampton may also seize an opportunity to kill the game.

The real difficulty is blocking both ends. If you think about it, there is nothing you can do.

Even if it is delayed to overtime and a penalty kick, can Southampton win?

Ederson is a top goalkeeper, but in terms of penalty kicks, he may not be better than Martin, or even worse than Martin.

After all, Martin has always been better at saving penalties.

In addition to the penalty shooter, Southampton has Du Yue and De Bruyne, two penalty shooters who can almost shoot without missing a shot, and they also have some advantages invisibly.

In terms of full-scale confrontation, Southampton is slightly stronger, and this slightly stronger, in the current situation, makes Guardiola helpless.

The previous feeling of powerlessness reappeared in Guardiola's heart.

He began to regret why he didn't put more thought into it back then, and hired De Bruyne or Du Yue at a sky-high price. Although these two are not for sale, if there is an exaggerated price, Ji Ya may not be indifferent.

Now Manchester City is at a disadvantage. To put it bluntly, these two positions cannot compete with Southampton.

The two sides continued to entangle on the field after the start of the second half. The consequence of Manchester City having to attack more was that they were finally seized by Southampton.

10 minutes after the start of the second half, Southampton completed a beautiful counterattack.

De Bruyne breaks through after getting the ball in the midfield, and then goes straight to the frontcourt. Vinicius cuts in at high speed, throws Dias away during the run, and then crosses the goal. Du Yue, who follows up, outflanks and breaks the goal. , scored the most critical goal!

After the goal, Du Yue opened his arms and ran to the sidelines. With this goal, the game is basically settled!

One to zero, this is an unsafe score, but in this game, it is already enough!

In the following time, Manchester City continued to change players and attack, but they still couldn't tear through Southampton's defense. Instead, Southampton's counterattack was impressive. If Manchester City's defense was not strong, they might have expanded. The lead is gone.

As the time passed, Manchester City's offense created some opportunities, but unfortunately they had almost no chances in the penalty area, but it was difficult for shots from outside the penalty area to pass Martin's ten fingers.

In stoppage time, Southampton even relied on a counterattack to score another goal. Unfortunately, Vinicius' goal was once again judged offside and the goal was invalid.

Southampton was called offside six times in the whole game, which shows how good their counterattack was. Manchester City's defense was repeatedly pierced by their counterattack. Not just one win.

One to zero, Southampton defeated Manchester City and advanced to the FA Cup final!

"Southampton beat Manchester City for the third time this season! Although they only won by one goal, from the point of view of the scene, Manchester City has nothing to do with Southampton's defense! This is a big blow..."

Many commentators began to sigh. Manchester City may be due to lack of preparation for this game. Although they only lost one goal, the overall look is much weaker. How can such a performance make people have confidence in them to stop Southampton? How about Dunn getting the quadruple crown?

What's more sad is that even if this is the case, Manchester City is the team that performed the best against Southampton...

With Southampton's current state, is there any team that can stop them?

Now it seems that Real Madrid, the opponent in the semi-finals of the Champions League, is the next one that people can place high hopes on...

However, thinking of Real Madrid's glorious history of being defeated by Southampton every year in those years, everyone feels that they can't hold too much hope.

Southampton's opponent in the FA Cup final is Chelsea, which is also a strong team, but they were beaten badly by Southampton this season.

Southampton now has a total of five league games, up to three Champions League games and one FA Cup final, a total of nine games, will Southampton have any big obstacles?

Now they can sprint all the way directly, and even use the league to train their team well.

In the No.30 four rounds of the next week, Southampton did just that.

In this game against Leicester City, Ji Ya rotated a lot of main players and only let Du Yue play alone. However, they still did not lose the game. In the first half, they relied on defensive counterattacks to score against Leicester City. A draw, Musiala made a penalty 15 minutes after the start of the second half. Du Yue took the penalty and scored six league goals this season. Although Manchester City has won this round, Southampton has yet to win the championship ahead of time even though they are [-] points ahead of them, but everyone knows that it is only a matter of time...

In the fifth round of No.30 in the league, Southampton challenged Liverpool away.

Originally, this schedule should be very strict for Southampton. After all, they played consecutive games against Manchester City, Leicester City and Liverpool. So good that the impact of this period of time is nothing.

The next week will be the semi-finals of the Champions League, but Ji Ya sent all the main players in this game-they have already rested before, so now there is no requirement for Liverpool, and they can play relatively easily. One match is the best warm-up.

Liverpool is now ranked sixth, but they have not lost hope of entering the top four, so their fighting spirit in this game is quite strong, and in the end, in this game, the two sides can be regarded as a big battle.

Salah set up Mane to open the scoring in the first half, while Southampton relied on a shot from Du Yue to equalize before the end of the first half. Du Yue assisted Vinicius shortly after the start of the second half. Puton took the lead, and Grealish scored a long-range shot shortly afterwards to expand the score to [-]-[-]. Liverpool attacked desperately, but they could only recover one point before the end of the game. In the end, they lost [-]-[-] in a rather depressing manner. , but they still haven't lost the chance to enter the top four.

After winning this game, Southampton didn't have to look at other people's faces. They won the league championship this season three rounds ahead of time-after two years away from the league championship!
