Chapter 280 Lukaku's Characteristics

If it was not Southampton who won the league championship last season, but Manchester United, maybe this season the powerful players will not be stimulated too much.

And Southampton, the former weak team, won the league championship, which stimulated everyone-the competition is already very fierce when four become six, and now it will become seven. alive?

Therefore, the six main players who left Southampton, except for Vidal who went to Juventus, were poached by other teams in the Premier League. Under such circumstances, the trend of the new season may determine the next pattern of the Premier League.

When the first round of the league came, Ji Ya came up with his real main lineup.

In the first round, Southampton played away against West Bromwich Albion. This team performed well last season, but after they lost Lukaku, they will probably reveal their true colors.

Ji Ya's starting lineup is goalkeeper Keylor Navas, two full-backs Klein and Luke Shaw, central defender Fonte and Otamendi partner, midfielder Casemiro in the center, left Mkhitaryan, right Deb Launet, forwards Ronaldo, Klose, Lukaku!

This first release made many people a little confused-is this four four two, or four three three?

Mkhitaryan and De Bruyne play on both sides, J Ronaldo's midfielder, and then Klose and Lukaku double forward?This seems to be okay...

However, shortly after the start of the game, Lukaku's performance surprised many people.

After holding off a West Brom attack, Southampton launched a counterattack.

Otamendi headed the ball to Casemiro. When Casemiro got the ball, he was pressed by the opponent's midfielder. However, he made a light smash and dodged the opponent, but he did not take the ball forward. , but unequivocally passed the ball to De Bruyne who responded in front.

De Bruyne took the ball and turned around. At this time, Lukaku, who was cruising to the right, had already started to accelerate. De Bruyne raised his foot and sent a direct pass. The ball flew into the opponent's penalty area like lightning!

And the accelerated Lukaku is also like a black lightning!

West Bromwich Albion's defender wanted to block this teammate from last season, but he was knocked off balance by him while running together. After two accelerations, Lukaku threw off the opponent's defender, and then Stride into the penalty area and receive a pass that has slowed down!

This straight foot is simply tailor-made for Lukaku's forward thrust this time!

After breaking into the penalty area, Lukaku adjusted his direction, facing the attacking goalkeeper, and calmly shot a far corner!

The goalkeeper of West Bromwich Albion couldn't make a save, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

After scoring the first goal, the next game seemed to be much easier to play.

Southampton began to take the ball constantly in the midfield, and then lured the opponent to press up. The best way to deal with possession tactics is to press down. Everyone knows this, so West Bromwich Albion had to press up and press down. .

Then they were beaten back again by Southampton.

Mkhitaryan passed the ball diagonally to the left when Klose ran in the frontcourt and attracted enough players. Luke Shaw, who was inserted at high speed, overtook and entered the penalty area after receiving the ball. He was brought down in a hurry, the referee awarded a penalty kick, Lukaku took the penalty, and scored twice in one fell swoop!

Lukaku laughed and hugged Luke Shaw, playing at Southampton really feels good, there are enough passes behind him, he just needs to run, respond, and play what he does best ...

The penalty shooter is Lukaku, not Kiya's forced request, but after William left, Southampton really needed a penalty shooter, so in the team's training, Kiya also kept letting the players train Penalty kick, the final conclusion is that Lukaku's penalty kick and psychological quality are the best.

This penalty also proves it.

After the two-goal lead, Southampton played more calmly. After the start of the second half of the game, they launched more offenses by passing in the midfield. West Bromwich Albion did not dare to press up. Last season, Southampton The forward penetration speed is not too fast. As a result, this season, one Lukaku and one forward Luke Shaw provided Southampton with enough speed.

This is very troublesome. A team with a relatively single style of play is better to deal with. Southampton's lack of speed last season was actually more complicated in their offense. Now, they It can be played complexly, or it can be played very simple.

Such a team is the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing that West Bromwich Albion was a bit frightened, Ji Ya didn't think much about it. In the second half, he sent Vardy on the field. Klose's physical condition is not bad, but he is old after all, and Ji Ya also wants to play. Just make good use of him. If he misses the World Cup due to injury, then Ji Ya feels that he might feel sorry for him...

After a hug with Klose, Vardy ran onto the field.

He has actually joined Southampton for three seasons, but this is the first time he has played for Southampton.

From the previous seventh tier league, to joining Southampton in the first season, he was loaned to League Two, the second season, played in League One, and the third season, played in the English Championship... His performance It can be said to be a step up every year, and even more miraculously, he has won the top scorer in League Two, League One and the Championship...

Needless to say in the first two seasons, if he hadn't used one goal after another to help Stevenage win one after another, Stevenage would not have changed from a fifth-tier team to the current stable League One team.

In Leicester City last season, the overall strength of Leicester City is actually very average, otherwise it would not have finished 46 games throughout the season, and in the end they only won the fourth place in the British Championship and barely participated in the play-offs.

However, in 46 games, Vardy accounted for 71 of Leicester City's 25 goals.

This was done when he performed poorly in the first 26 league games and was still adapting to the British Championship, scoring five in [-] games - in the next [-] games, he scored [-]. Leicester City, which was only in the middle of the half, was pushed abruptly and entered sixth.

Although they lost to Watford [-]-[-] in two rounds in the play-offs, all of the two goals in the two rounds were scored by Vardy.

This also allowed Vardy to win the top scorer of the British Championship last season, and won the top scorer of three levels in three years. This kind of result can be regarded as No.1. A player who scored goals in four professional leagues...

Vardy still has a chance to make new history, although it seems unlikely now...
