Chapter 236 Meaningless Records

After Kovac went to mark Gray, Gray started to be less active.

After all, he is a center forward at the level of the British Championship. Kovac has always played in the Premier League. He does not suffer from height, strength and flexibility. Naturally, it is easier to mark Gray.

In the rest of the time, both sides had offense and defense, and after getting a corner kick, Du Yue boldly advanced to assist, then received a cross from Nolito, grabbed the front point and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball quickly flew in from the front point goal!

"It's very accurate to grab a spot." Ji Ya said with some surprise.

"He is already very good at judging the placement, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play as a central defender at this height." Benelli said.

"That's true." Ji Ya nodded. Short central defenders generally have extraordinary strengths in judging the landing point, jumping ability and anticipating ability, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago.

Du Yue celebrated excitedly. He scored a goal in his first appearance on behalf of Southampton. Does this mean that his future development will be extremely good...

The reporters were also very happy, because Du Yue's appearance this time allowed him to break the record of 16 years and [-] days set by Chamberlain under Ji Ya.

And it is almost a record that will not be broken. 16 years and nine days old.

This is certainly a record worthy of special mention.

However, Ji Ya tried his best to play down this record in the press conference after the game.

"This kind of record is actually meaningless. The development of a player does not depend on how young he is when he first played, but on his overall performance in the future. Du performed well today, but he still has a long way to go. Tamendi is also coming back, our squad is complete, and Du will return to the youth team, which is the most suitable place for him now."

Ji Ya's words at the press conference sounded a wake-up call for Du Yue - the youth team's first appearance does not mean anything, it still depends on the future.

In fact, in this game, Ji Ya was a little disappointed with Du Yue's performance.

It’s not that his performance is not good—in fact, Du Yue’s attitude and performance are impeccable, he has been running, and his abundant physical fitness and brave fighting spirit are fully reflected—that’s why he has never been tall , but it is always the reason why Francis favors it.

No coach would dislike such a serious and brave player.

But his flaws in the central defender position are indeed obvious.

But Ji Ya intends to take a look first, anyway, he can train in the first team next, to see if he can gain some experience.

Du Yue didn't notice this, not because he was stupid, but because he was still young after all, and he felt that he performed well in the first game, and then stayed in the first team to participate in training, so he should still have a great chance.

After returning to the league, Southampton continued to triumph under the command of Kiya. In the away game against Aston Villa, Southampton played a nearly perfect game. What chance did Aston Villa get, and in the frontcourt, through Mkhitaryan's lightning strike, they defeated Aston Villa [-]-[-] away and won five consecutive victories.

Manchester United beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home and continued to lead Southampton by [-] points.

"Ferguson is really stable...but I can't be in a hurry." Ji Ya sighed in his heart.

You must know that Manchester United have played so far, although they have lost three league games, they have won [-] games and only one draw, which means that they are quite efficient in grabbing points. Without a particularly big advantage, Ferguson's experience played a huge role.

But Ji Ya really can't be in a hurry. Facing an opponent like Ferguson, it is most meaningless to be anxious.

After a week of rest, Southampton continued to perform well in the league. When they played at home against Everton, who defeated them in the first round, they stabilized their midfield and continued to attack, allowing Everton's The players are completely unable to display their strengths well.

Everton's performance this season is quite good, Moyes has always been very strong in Everton, and the overall Everton team is also very good, including Bynes, Heitinga, Osman, Jelavic, Fellaini and other outstanding players, otherwise they would not be ranked seventh now, and the gap from the top four is also very small.

However, under the control of Southampton's strong midfield, they were not able to create any chances. Instead, Southampton continued to create opportunities. Benteke and Vidal scored a goal each in the second half. Successfully achieved six consecutive victories!

This is already Southampton's longest winning streak since entering the Premier League.

In the other game, good news finally came. Manchester United was tied [-]-[-] by Tottenham in the away game. Van Persie's goal allowed Manchester United to maintain the lead until the stoppage time. The goal cost Manchester United two precious points!

In this way, Southampton is only four points behind Manchester United with 52 points, and Manchester City has also caught up. They now have 51 points, only five points behind Manchester United!

In the next round, Southampton will fight against Manchester United!

This is clearly an opportunity for Manchester City as well.

Of course, the next period of time will be the League Cup and the FA Cup - the league will not be ushered in until the [-]th.

In the next mid-week game, Ji Ya once again dispatched most of the substitutes in the game, but Southampton tenaciously guaranteed a draw in the away game. Du Yue started this game again, and Southampton focused on defense Under the circumstances, his fighting and intercepting all around are also very good, and the opponent's attack has been destroyed by him several times.

In the end, Southampton eliminated Swansea with a total score of [-] to [-] in two rounds, and entered the League Cup final with their heads held high.

The opponent in the League Cup final was Bradford, the League Two team that miraculously eliminated three Premier League teams, Wigan Athletic, Arsenal and Aston Villa!

Compared with the miracle of the League One team created by Southampton three years ago by eliminating five Premier League teams in a row to win the League Cup, Bradford's results are not inferior!

"There is only one of us in such a dick team."

Ji Ya muttered in his heart.

But the final will be held on the 24th of next month, and the time is still long.

Now he has another problem to solve.

That's Du Yue's problem.

He played a full game in the last game, but Otamendi has returned. In the last game, he came off the bench and played for 10 minutes. He performed well. In this way, Southampton, who is complete in defense, will not There is room for Du Yue to play again.

So he wanted to tell Du Yue what to do next was in his best interest.
