Chapter 482 We Just Worked Harder

Arsenal's fighting spirit is also quite high, otherwise they would not have beat Manchester City in the last game and stabilized their No.2 position.

It's just that in that game, Arsenal also suffered a lot. Sanchez was injured in that game. Without Sanchez, the only thing they can rely on in the frontcourt is Ozil.

Ozil's strength is quite good, but he has a big weakness, which was caught by Ji Ya.

That is, Ozil is not very comfortable with the close pressing of quick-responsive defensive and strong players.

It's just that there are not many players who can do this, so most of the time, Ozil's performance is very good.

However, this time he encountered such a player.

Kanter's task in this game is to seal Ozil.

Arteta is not here, Cazorla is not here, Sanchez is not here, Ozil has become the last source of vitality for Arsenal's offense, as long as he is blocked, there will be no other Walcott and Giroud What worked.

The same is true.

After Ozil was entangled by Kanter, Arsenal's offense seemed chaotic, unable to organize a good offensive at all.

At this time, Southampton's offense was launched wave after wave.

Arsenal also want to keep an eye on De Bruyne, Southampton's offensive core, but De Bruyne can easily solve this problem as long as he retreats to get the ball and then distributes the ball, leaving the offensive task to others.

After suppressing Arsenal's offense, Southampton began to press methodically.

Their method of constantly exerting pressure, putting the opponent's defense at a critical point, and then winning the game in one breath may not be effective against the top teams of the same level, but they are worse than themselves in dealing with the whole team, and there is no one. A team with outstanding bursts, but quite useful.

Unfortunately, the current Arsenal is such a team.

Under the pressure of Southampton, they can only continue to passively defend, resisting waves of Southampton's attacks.

However, their defensive strength is still good. They have enough defensive strength for the three forwards Lukaku, Vardy and Mane, as well as Coutinho and De Bruyne, who can threaten the goal with long shots. defense.

But this kind of defense is always passive.

These five attackers did not score a goal, but Alonso's forward drive allowed them to complete their first goal of the game...

Lukaku made a breakthrough from the side and saw that there was no chance, so he immediately passed the ball back. Cancelo distributed it to the center. After receiving the ball, De Bruyne distributed the ball to the left again. Alonso, who was plugged in from the side, inserted a diagonal line into the penalty area, and suddenly kicked and shot from a small angle!

This shot was of a very high standard, the ball flew to the near corner of the goal, Petr Cech hastily stretched out his foot to stop it, but the ball hit his foot and flew upwards diagonally, and then plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

Southampton took the lead in the No.19 minute of the first half!

After taking the lead, Southampton did not continue to chase hard, but began to entangle with Arsenal in the midfield. Arsenal wanted to attack, but when Ozil was entangled by Kanter, their The offense is always missing something.

After all, compared with Southampton, their offense is indeed too dependent on Ozil now.

Under such circumstances, both sides played a bit ugly for the rest of the first half, but Arsenal's consumption was even greater.

So that when they left the field, the Southampton players didn't look like they had flown nearly [-] kilometers, but the Arsenal players seemed to have flown [-] kilometers.

"Continue to control the midfield in the second half, and score him a goal when there is a chance! Arsenal's defense is not that good. When they recover, the defense is OK, but if they are pressed, there are a lot of gaps, so we need to make more use of it." Ji Ya said .

His judgment was correct. After the start of the second half, Arsenal tried their best to launch a counterattack, not wanting to lose the game in such a useless manner. However, they pressed forward and attacked, and the loopholes in their defense became quite large.

Only 10 minutes after the start of the second half, De Bruyne sent a sharp direct pass from the midfielder. Vardy succeeded in countering offside. Facing the attacking Cech, he calmly pushed the far corner and the ball quickly flew into the goal!

Two to zero, Southampton expanded its lead in the game!

Wenger replaced Campbell with Chamberlain, intending to strengthen the attack.

However, Chamberlain's performance on the left side is a bit eye-catching. After being entangled by Cancelo, it is difficult for him to perform at any level...

"Hey, Joao's defense has increased very quickly recently." Ji Ya said with some surprise.

"Yeah, he has been training hard for more than a year, and it is normal to improve quickly." Benelli said with a smile.

After resisting Arsenal's counterattack for a while, Southampton launched a counterattack again. Mane forced a breakthrough from the left and then made a pass, which was blocked by the opponent's defender. Van Dijk scored with a header under the cover and scored the third goal for Southampton!

After scoring the goal, Feng Te excitedly rushed to the field with open arms, and hugged Ji Ya tightly.

"Good job, Jose!"

Ji Ya patted his back hard.

Back on the field, Wundt and Van Dijk high-fived. If Van Dijk hadn't attracted enough attention before, he might not be able to grab the header easily.

Wundt began to feel that Van Dijk could take over his class. Compared with himself, Van Dijk may have less experience, but his strength, speed and agility are stronger than his own, and he has an excellent Defensive aura, such players can often quickly show their own level.

After leading by three goals, Arsenal's morale was completely gone. If they suffered a disastrous defeat, their morale would be even lower.

And Southampton will not let go of this opportunity to let a competitor leave the field early.

They are prone to losing the chain in winter. If they are given a disastrous defeat, it may take a long time for Arsenal to recover!

When the game was approaching stoppage time, Lukaku broke into the penalty area and shot vigorously. Cech barely saved the ball. Vardy scored twice with a supplementary shot at the first time!

"Four to zero... Southampton completed a sweep at home! This allowed them to lead Arsenal by [-] points even though they had one less game! Look at the gap in the score, Southampton is now in the league Li, is it already this strong?"

"No, we are not that strong, it's just that we have been in a better state recently. Last season we lost some points that shouldn't be lost, so the players worked harder on the court. The goal of this season? Of course it is the triple crown, We can win as many championships as we can." Ji Ya said with a smile.
