Chapter 288

Marseille won the Ligue [-] runner-up last season. Although compared with Paris, they are [-] points behind, but compared with the third and fourth places, they still have certain advantages.

What's more rare is that they didn't lose any main players this summer. At the same time, they also recruited such powerful factions as forward Tovan and midfielder Payet. Their strength has improved a lot, so although they are in this death group, It's not that they don't have enough confidence.

"The core of Marseille's midfield is Balbuena. This small midfielder has good skills and excellent breakthroughs. Then he can drive the team's offense with his breakthrough pass. Most of Marseille's threatening offenses last season were his. Initiated, as for the other players, there is nothing to say. The Ligue [-] players are all in good shape, good skills, and can run very well. Let us concentrate on dealing with them. Carlos, you pay attention to Mark Balbuena , You don’t need to be too involved in the overall defense and offensive organization, and leave it to your teammates.”

After hearing Ji Ya's arrangement, Casemiro nodded. Although he is a very comprehensive defensive midfielder, it is not impossible for him to mark an attacker under such circumstances.

With his size and agility, Balbuena has a hard time.

Although it is an away game, Southampton will also strive to win.

After all, compared with the other two opponents, Marseille may be the best to deal with. Now the overall level of Ligue [-] has dropped quite a lot. The other four major leagues are also poaching Ligue [-] fiercely. Basically, players with some performance are poached Leaving, this also makes the Ligue [-] teams, except for Paris, the competitiveness of other teams is very average.

Even if Marseille is the runner-up of Ligue [-], it is no exception.

Of course, a team like Marseille with a glorious history and tradition will of course show its best performance in the Champions League.

At the Velodrome Stadium, the Marseille fans showed their great enthusiasm and shouted to suppress the shouts of more than 1000 Southampton fans who came from afar.

"What's the use of loud fans, the key is to see the performance of the players."

Kiya shook his fist in the locker room, then patted Suarez on the shoulder.

"Louis, are you excited?" Kiya asked.

Suarez grinned, showing his trademark teeth.

"Of course I'm excited, boss, I haven't participated in a formal game for a long time, and now I'm eager to score goals!" Suarez said.

"Very well, focus on scoring goals, you are the strongest." Ji Ya said.

When the players from both sides played, the Southampton fans cheered, but they were soon suppressed by the cheers of the home fans...

The cheers of the fans were suppressed, but there was no problem with the performance of the Southampton players.

From the beginning of the game, they were based in midfield, constantly taking the ball, controlling the ball, and then looking for opportunities to attack.

It's not that Marseille didn't observe Southampton's previous games. They knew that Southampton's counterattack was very sharp, so even at home, they were mostly recovering their defense and then waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, they overlooked two points.

First of all, they are not a Premier League team. Even if the Premier League teams are less technical, the overall defensive line is quite strict. Even if they are a strong team, it is difficult for them to find too many opportunities when they are defending. Ligue [-] teams are different. Yes, the personnel change is too fast so that they are somewhat lacking as a whole.

Another point is that Southampton's center in this game is not the center Vardy who only has the ability to grab points and play the ball, but a forward Suarez who also has breakthrough ability and single-handed ability!

Ji Ya can indeed let other people assist Suarez, help him solve other things, so that he only needs to score goals, but the premise is that the opponent knows that it is impossible to defend Southampton's offense!

In this way, they will have more space on offense and will play more smoothly.

Make a breakthrough where the opponent thinks you must have no way, so that you can avoid trouble later.

This principle is the same as many principles in life.

So in the face of Marseille's defense, Southampton was not in a hurry, but continued to attack patiently, passed continuously, and looked for opportunities to score.

Now there is a change in Southampton's offense. In the midfield, they have an extra point to take the ball and organize, and on the wing, their two full-backs can advance at high speed to assist in the offense.

Klein can hold the ball and break through. Luke Shaw's skills are not that good, but his speed and impact, as well as the ability to directly advance into the penalty area, are something Klein does not possess.

In this way, the two wings of Southampton began to truly fly together.

Although in the case of the opponent's intensive defense, the offense of the two wings should be careful about the opponent's counterattack, but their threat also forced Marseille to pay part of their attention to the two wings.

In this way, the defense in the middle is virtually weakened.

Southampton launched two attacks from the left. Ronaldo gave the ball to Luke Shaw twice. Luke Shaw made a pass from the bottom. Weight is a great threat under such circumstances, but Marseille's central defender tried his best to interfere with him, and Lukaku's two shots failed to play a very good role.

The next game fell into a stalemate. Arsenal had the advantage of possession of the ball, but Marseille was sticking to their own penalty area. It was indeed difficult to score such a defense.

Suarez is constantly running, and his running range is larger than Vardy. Vardy can basically only run in the penalty area, and he can withdraw from the penalty area to respond.

However, every time he catches the ball, the opponent's player will push up from behind, forcing him to pass back, at least not allowing him to turn around smoothly.

When the game progressed to No. 30 minutes, De Bruyne took the ball in the midfield and then made a direct pass, and Suarez retreated to receive the ball.

The opponent's defender also pushed up from behind, but Suarez made a feint to catch the ball. Instead of catching the ball, he turned around and walked past him...

Unexpectedly, the opposing defender froze there, and Suarez, who successfully bypassed him, received the ball behind him, and the beautiful man passed the ball!

After completing this action, Suarez took the ball forward and quickly entered the penalty area. Before the remaining defender of the opponent hurried up to defend, he had already completed the shot!

It was a rather sudden shot. He seemed to complete the shot in an awkward way while dribbling the ball. The ball was poked by his toe and flew to the bottom right corner of the goal. Marseille goalkeeper Mandan Da didn't expect him to shoot at this time. By the time he reacted, the ball had already flown into the dead corner of the goal!

First appearance, first goal!
