Chapter 369 Southampton in the World Cup

I have to say that wherever the Southampton players go, they are all the focus.

In Group D of this World Cup, many people thought that Italy and England would qualify together, Uruguay might have some impact, and Costa Rica was obviously the bottom team...

As a result, after three rounds, Costa Rica won two and one draw, scored four in three games and lost one, and qualified from this group with an unbeaten record!

The goalkeeper Keylor Navas who played for Southampton performed extremely well. He made a lot of saves in every game and showed the quality of a top goalkeeper!

Uruguay lost to Costa Rica, but defeated England and Italy consecutively, qualifying second in the group.

Italy won one game against England, lost to Uruguay and Costa Rica, third in the group, England only drew one game against Costa Rica, bottom of the group...

This news shocked everyone immediately. Another shocking news was that Suarez, who had been recovering for a year, bit someone again in the group stage. He bit Italian defender Chiellini. Although this scene was judged by the referee Neglected, but was suspended for nine games after the game, and at the same time unable to participate in any football activities for four months...

Ji Ya almost vomited blood.

This means that although the next month or so is the offseason, Suarez will not be able to play for Southampton until the end of October...

Although in the first half of the season, due to the influence of the national team match day and the like, there were not many matches, but it also meant that Suarez would miss at least the first nine league rounds of Southampton and the first three rounds of the Champions League. Plus all cup games in the period.

However, Ji Ya and the Southampton club did not add insult to injury, but sincerely stated that although Suarez had an accident in the national team, since he is a member of the Southampton club, then the Southampton club will Bear the consequences with him.

Suarez also apologized the next day and said that he was really hot-headed at the time, and he apologized to everyone here.

"I hope this guy can mature a bit." Ji Ya thought in his heart a little speechlessly.

In terms of performance, Suarez's performance is still very good. In the game against England, he scored twice to help Uruguay beat England with two goals, but this exaggerated foul made all his credit disappear.

However, apart from Suarez, the performance of other Southampton players is not bad.

Luke Shaw is the main player in the England national team, and his performance is acceptable. Klein only got one chance to play. It is difficult for the full-backs to perform well in the overall downturn.

Needless to say, the performance of Navas, he was the most eye-catching goalkeeper in the group stage. He also performed well in the quarter-finals. In the case of ten people facing each other, he made seven effective saves in the game. Brutely helped the team enter the penalty shootout, and finally Costa Rica eliminated Greece and advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, creating Costa Rica's best World Cup result!

In the quarter-finals, facing the powerful Netherlands, Navas once again made seven wonderful saves in the game and dragged the game into a penalty shootout. Although Costa Rica lost in the penalty shootout, Navas was still rated For the best player of the game, this is enough to prove Navas' outstanding performance!

Otamendi became Argentina's main central defender. Together with Mascherano, he helped Argentina break into the World Cup final with excellent defense. Although he lost in the end, Otamendi's performance was also quite good.

Wundt played three times in the World Cup group stage, and his performance was mediocre. Portugal was unfortunately eliminated and failed to enter the knockout stage. De Bruyne and Lukaku performed very well. They won in the group stage. With a record of complete victory, it was the goals of De Bruyne and Lukaku in the knockout round that helped Belgium break into the quarter-finals, and finally lost to Argentina in the quarter-finals, which finally reached the World Cup final.

Klose is not the main player in Germany, but he completed two golden goals, which made him surpass Ronaldo and become the player with the most goals in the World Cup. Casemiro and Coutinho are in the Brazilian national team None of them are the main players. They watched their team get slaughtered by Germany [-]-[-] on the bench...

Of course, the most surprising performance was James Rodriguez.

He scored three goals in the group stage, scored three goals in the knockout stage, and finally won the top scorer of this World Cup with six goals, and the goal he scored against Uruguay was called a flying fairy. , and finally won this year's Puskas Award. Although many people think that Van Persie's exaggerated diving header is considered, many judges and experts still gave this award to Ronaldo.

Although he only led Colombia to the quarter-finals, the performance of six goals in five games was eye-catching enough!

When the dust of the World Cup settled, everyone was shocked to find that Southampton, as the champion of the new UEFA Champions League, not only contributed [-] international players to the World Cup, but they also contributed some of the best players. French players, but a few bright spots, such as Navas, Suarez, Klose, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Ronaldo... They are all from Southampton, which is shocking enough in itself!

And such a shock, of course, will bring huge attention, as well as endless... poaching.

Southampton has long been prepared for this, but even Ji Ya didn't expect the poaching to be so fierce and so fast.

"This season, it's normal for us to sell people, but we can't sell half of the main lineup like last season. That's too exaggerated. You know, we are now the champions of the Champions League. If the attack is successful, then we don't need to do anything." Ji Ya said to Benelli and the others.

"Then you have to know who can sell and who can't." Frye reminded Ji Ya.

Ji Ya nodded. He basically has a plan for these things. Some players who have been in Southampton for many years, their wages have increased a lot, and there is no room for improvement. They can cash out at high positions, but they joined last season. These players can stay, especially Suarez. His performance last season was extremely surprising. He scored 38 goals in the league, and he is sure to win the European Golden Boot. Under such circumstances , can't let him go.

Lukaku is the same, his performance is not as good as Suarez, but he is also very eye-catching in the World Cup.

And De Bruyne, such a young midfielder core, can stabilize the team for many years.

These few people are determined not to sell, and there are some players in the main lineup who will not leave, so the overall situation is relatively stable.

Of course, it is also very necessary for some players who are on the cusp to cash out at high positions.
