Chapter 316 No Experience in Champions Cup Knockout

After Christmas, Ji Ya put all his attention on the game.

In the final analysis, even if he knows some news in advance, he must have enough cash on hand. With Southampton's current capital of more than 1 million yuan, it is really not enough to repair the stadium.

However, Southampton's serious profits for a year, taking into account the income from the transfer market, are almost equal. Even if they can make more profits in the Champions League, their annual profits are only tens of millions of pounds. To get more capital income, you still have to play the game of buying and selling.

In this case, the results need to be guaranteed, and at the same time, it is necessary to create stars and players, and then sell them at a high price.

The results of the first team are the most important.

It is necessary to tap the strength of young players and introduce cheap players from outside.

In the last two games of 13, Southampton's opponents were Cardiff City and Everton. Fulton's performance is quite good. After losing Moyes, they not only did not recover from a setback, but achieved quite good results under the leadership of Spanish coach Martinez. They are now ranked sixth, three places higher than Manchester United, with more points Six points, it really makes people feel that the world is impermanent...

In the away game against Cardiff City, Southampton won easily. Kiya rotated some players, allowing Alonso, Matic, Schneiderlin and others to come off the bench. In the end, Lukaku scored twice and Suarez As the icing on the cake, Southampton led their opponents by three goals in the first half, and then successfully maintained this score until the end.

To say that Lukaku's performance this season is also quite good. After scoring twice in this game, his goals also reached 20 goals, which is as many as Suarez's goals, although because Suarez has six games He didn't play in the game. Relatively speaking, his results are not as impressive as Suarez's, but as a striker who is only [-] years old, his performance is surprising enough.

You must know that Lukaku scored [-] goals in the entire season last season. Now that the season is not halfway through, he has scored [-] goals. The improvement is quite obvious.

After winning this game easily, Southampton encountered Waterloo in the next game. They unexpectedly lost [-]-[-] to Everton in the away game. Southampton's performance in this game did not have much impact. But Everton's defense showed a very high level. Their goalkeeper Robles made [-] saves in the game, almost creating a Premier League record. Both Suarez and Lukaku had several excellent shots. All the chances were saved by him, and the central defender partner composed of veteran Heitinga and young central defender Stones also performed well. One goal, and finally lost one to two.

Ji Ya was not angry about this loss. He could see that the Southampton players performed very well. Tonce showed a keen interest in...

Compared with the Everton board of directors, they urgently refuted the rumors. Stones is the future star they just introduced this season. No matter how much money they have, they will not sell Stones.

What they didn't know was that Ji Ya just wanted to make them nervous...

Because of this loss, Ji Ya is still very angry, because in this round, Arsenal won again, and as a result, they became the half-time champion of the Premier League this season with 42 points.

And now the gap between the top few is getting smaller and smaller, Southampton is 41 points, Manchester City has also caught up, their points have also reached 41 points, they have recently achieved five consecutive victories, including beating Arsenal and Liverpool. The strong team, the momentum is quite ferocious.

"Pellegrini still has some skills, but now Manchester City is very strong overall and there are no big loopholes. They are as strong opponents as Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool...Manchester United is not good this year. Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, It may take many years for them to get out of the influence." Ji Ya commented.

"Arsenal always have problems after the new year," Benelli said.

"This probability is very high, but it doesn't mean that they will definitely have problems... In short, we just need to play our own game well. In the first half of the season, our performance was good. We only lost two games and won twelve games...the second half We have to perform better this season, don't forget that we have the Champions League knockout in the second half of the season, which is also an experience we have never had before."

In fact, this is what Ji Ya is quite worried about. Last season's Champions League was due to lack of experience, so Southampton failed to achieve any good results. This season's Champions League knockout is also a matter of Southampton's lack of experience. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Kiya to be worried.

Although they were used to playing the knockout rounds of the Europa League before, the knockout rounds of the Europa League are two rounds longer than the Champions League. Under such circumstances, Southampton has survived, and there should be no problem.

However, it must be different in reality. The opponents in the Europa League are relatively weak. Last season, Southampton almost swept the Europa League. The three consecutive knockout rounds came up to a [-]-[-] at home. Of course There won't be too much pressure. If there is such a good thing in the Champions League, it will be too difficult.

What's more, Ji Ya also knows that in the knockout round, Southampton will encounter a strong team in all likelihood.

Firstly, Southampton is still a new team in the Champions League, so it will definitely suffer in this respect. Second, Southampton only got second place in the group stage, and the probability of the No.1 strong team is much higher, so there is no easy fight Opponents-Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Paris, in comparison, Manchester United may be the best to deal with...

"The group stage is still careless." Ji Ya thought in his heart, but the matter has already passed, and there is no point in thinking about it any more. He always has to meet the top teams, and now he just needs to prepare well.

On January 20st, in the No.[-] round of the league, Southampton faced Chelsea.

The new year is so exciting, but Southampton fans are not too worried, Southampton's performance is not bad, they had a wonderful match against Chelsea at home.

Chelsea took the lead in the first half, and Benteke's counterattack opened the scoring for Chelsea, but then Southampton's striker began to show off, Suarez equalized the score, and Luke Shaw received a wonderful pass from Ronaldo After that, he volleyed in the penalty area to overtake the score. Soon after the start of the second half, Ronaldo scored a beautiful world wave...

However, at this moment, William's goal blew the clarion call for Chelsea's counterattack. Oscar's goal in the No.803 minute abruptly allowed Chelsea to take away a point from the away game!
