Chapter 291 It's Stronger

Relying on Coutinho's absolute world wave, Southampton won Liverpool [-]-[-] away.

This is another atypical victory for Southampton-except for the one against Marseille this season, Southampton's victories are actually atypical.

Winning West Bromwich Albion in the first round was an astonishing defensive counterattack. The last round of defeating West Ham United relied on the gap opened by Ronaldo's long-range goal to score goals continuously. , and in this game, he controlled the opponent's offense with ball possession and running, and then relied on a world wave to solve the problem...

"Southampton has played like a Serie A team this season," said the sports section of the Times.

Others have a feeling of sudden understanding.

That's right, Serie A teams are used to this, either to counterattack to win, or to make sure they don't concede the ball, and then attack to seize an opportunity.

After trying to understand this truth, many people are heartbroken.

Southampton, you have fallen, you can't do it, you actually play like a Serie A team, are you shameless?

Ji Ya didn't care about that.

My center isn't here, so it's okay not to experiment with other tactics?

After Suarez comes back, I will let you know what kind of fear it is after the former Southampton becomes stronger and comes back!

Now is the only good time left for you!

After all, there is only one game left of Suarez's suspension-he was fined and suspended for ten games, but he had executed four games last season, and only six games left this season.

In the middle of the week, Southampton ushered in Bristol City in the League One. This is the third round of the League Cup. Of course, Ji Ya will not let the main players play, and all the substitutes have the opportunity to play.

Goalkeeper Gulac, defenders Jenkinson, Alonso, Rudiger, Bailly, midfielders Matic, Drinkwater, Schneiderlin, Coutinho as attacking midfielder, Nolito It was a switch to the right to play, center Vardy.

Although this lineup is not working very well, the main reason is that Nolito is a left player, he is not very suitable for playing on the right, and in Southampton's substitute lineup, Nolito plays a very important role. Belongs to Organization Source.

Under such circumstances, it was Alonso who stood out—this Spanish full-back, who was not very fast and had a poor defense, began to advance continuously when his own offense was somewhat unable to open the situation. Offensively, he gradually took over the game with his technique, breakthrough and passing.

This is not Ji Ya's request, but when the offense is somewhat difficult to open, once a player who can take over the offense appears on the field, he can quickly take over the control of the offense.

Alonso's speed is not considered fast, his body is not considered strong, and his defense is not excellent, so it is no wonder that he was not the main player in the middle and lower teams like Bolton before. He gradually became the main player in the British Championship last season. However, when he started to take over the offense, he quickly showed his value!

The timing of forward penetration is accurate, the ability to break through, pass the ball, and mobilize the team's offense is a rare thing for a full-back.

"Fill him up!" Ji Ya called Schneiderlin and said to him.

Schneiderlin nodded. Since Alonso is not fast, he will not return to defense in time, so it is necessary to help him fill the position.

Alonso, who has no worries, performed even better. He sent a beautiful cross in the second half and assisted Vardy and Drinkwater to score goals. Southampton easily defeated the opponent and won the goal. Victory in this game.

"Our team is full of such flawed but distinctive players." Benelli couldn't help but said with a wry smile.

"There is no perfect player, even Messi is not very good against, Ronaldo also lacks breakthrough ability, if you want to pick faults, you can always pick them out, what I have to do is to make my players better on the court Show your abilities." Ji Ya replied.

However, Alonso's performance still brought him a surprise. Alonso was exempted from the visa before, and Ji Ya just wanted a substitute. Now it seems that such a player is used well, and it is also very useful.

At least Luke? Shaw is still young, it's not good to let him play all the games hastily.

"We need to practice more tactics to cover the flanks. When one side focuses on attacking, the midfielder should fill them up, so that they can better play their forward role. Luke Shaw is fast , It is easy to return to the defense, but it is not always in place in time, so there must be a replacement mechanism." Ji Ya said to Benelli.

"I'll arrange the overall training now." Benelli nodded.

After returning to the league, Southampton faced Crystal Palace-this team is now ranked No.19. Of course, the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League are not easy to play, and their running and confrontation are still very active.

Ji Ya sent a part of the main force in the game, and the match against Naples will be in the middle of the week, so the physical fitness of the main force must be preserved.

In this game, Ji Ya still adopted the tactics of controlling the midfield, reducing the opponent's offense and increasing his own offense. De Bruyne continued to organize and pass the ball. Under his combing, Southampton's midfield pass It started to get better.

In the past, Southampton's midfielders did not actually have such a core. They all relied on overall fast passing and running to maintain possession. Now that there is a top midfielder like De Bruyne, then kicking Possession tactics are easier.

Mkhitaryan opened the scoring for Southampton before the end of the first half. Only 2 minutes into the second half, Lukaku scored after receiving a pass from Ronaldo at the back point. Southampton, who led by two goals, began to stabilize. In the midfield, Ji Ya replaced De Bruyne and Ronaldo successively to allow them to save their physical fitness. Southampton, which lost two main players, still maintained its lead until the end.

Two to zero, Southampton won three consecutive victories.

Southampton's offensive ability seems to have declined this season. They have scored [-] goals in three league rounds. This figure is not low, but compared with Southampton's previous average of nearly three goals per game, it is quite a bit less. one.

But their defense has improved quite quickly. They only conceded two goals in six games, so although they are still tied for second place, behind Arsenal, which scored [-] points, they have conceded the fewest goals and a goal difference. The team with the most balls!

Now Tottenham, who conceded the fewest goals, also conceded two goals, but they only scored six goals, while Chelsea conceded three goals. Manchester City had the most goal difference, but they also only had seven goals difference. Puton is as high as nine!

"From now on, Southampton is not weak, but indeed stronger. Don't forget, Suarez is coming back!" Some media said in a cautious tone.
