Chapter 843 Feeling Back

Although the unbeaten record has been kept, this draw has also caused Southampton's performance to be criticized. Of course, the absence of several main players has a great impact, but you will not lose the Community Shield again. It was a draw with Everton...

How embarrassing.

Ji Ya never cared about such public opinion.

With Southampton's current results, no matter what they do, they will get more stringent requirements. In fact, these few games can still have such a performance when half of the main players are absent. Ji Ya's performance against the substitutes has already Quite satisfied.

Especially people like Peters and McAllister, there is still a certain gap between their strength and the main force, but they can rely on hard work and running to get more opportunities, which in itself is enough for Ji Ya felt happy.

It doesn't matter if you lose a few points occasionally. The young players have grown up in such an environment, which is what makes Ji Ya most happy.

Now that the main players have resumed team training, and their physical condition has basically been adjusted, the next step is to grab points.

The league and the Champions League this season are obviously new tests. Liverpool and Manchester City are strong in the league. These two teams will also be in a very good state in the Champions Cup. The competition will continue from the league to the Champions Cup. , under such circumstances, will definitely bring more stimulation.

The return of the main players, of course, cannot resume the official game immediately. It is nothing more than that De Bruyne and Du Yue will return to the main lineup, and then the others will play in rotation and gradually adapt.

These few league games can just restore Southampton's players to a normal state.

The only thing that gave Ji Ya a headache was that after the next two league games, it would be another national team match day, when the team would split up again, half of the main players did not have the pre-season training with the whole team, which affected It's very big, and it's hard to play the game together, and then split up after two games... In this way, Southampton's performance in the previous game will definitely be ups and downs.

But this is also a normal thing. Most strong teams will be affected to a certain extent after the World Cup, and then it depends on who is least affected and whoever adjusts the fastest can take the lead in the league.

Anyway, after a season, it is impossible to win the championship with a complete victory, and the opponents in front of Southampton are not very strong, so the schedule is already very favorable for them.

But it is obvious that after the fatigue of the World Cup and the fact that they haven't played together for a long time, in the new round of the league, Southampton's performance is not very good.

In the third round, Southampton played against Leicester City at home. This is also a standard mid-range team. They also lost their top player Mahrez this summer. However, after several years of shrewd management in the Premier League, They still have a pretty good team.

Ji Ya's starters for this game are goalkeeper Mendy, defender Maguire, Rudiger, Cancelo, Peters, midfielder Rodri, De Bruyne, Valverde, B Fee, forward Du Yue, Vardy.

When this lineup appeared on the field, it caused a burst of cheers from Southampton fans. In their opinion, this lineup is basically the best lineup in Southampton now, except Chilwell and Greeley Except for not playing, the others are all the absolute main players of Southampton. With such a lineup playing, is it not easy to beat Leicester City?

However, things are not as simple as they imagined.

The game does not mean that if you put out your main force and the opponent's lineup is not as good as yours, you will definitely win.

In addition to the cooperation between each other and the pertinence of tactics, the performance of the players is also very important.

Southampton's lineup is actually nothing else, but the cooperation is a little worse than the previous few games.

Rodri and De Bruyne have never played together, and both of them are more inclined to the core style of play. It takes some time for such players to cooperate together.

Originally, this was not a problem. After all, with De Bruyne's strength and level, Rodri obediently played for him in the midfield. After slowly becoming proficient and taking on more responsibilities, the running-in of the lineup will appear to be very logical.

But De Bruyne missed the first four games, and in those four games, because Southampton did not have a midfield core, Rodri took on such a task, and he is indeed a very good organization In just a few games, he began to establish his organizational status in the midfield...

In this way, when De Bruyne returns, the two will inevitably compete for the ball.

It's not even that one of them is trying to mess things up, it's that their styles of play are starting to become incompatible.

The specific manifestation brought about is that both of them played very uncomfortable on the court.

As the core of the midfield, they don't play well, and of course Southampton's game will become ugly.

This made Southampton's performance on the field a bit confusing.

The midfielder needs to run in, so the offensive and defensive ends will naturally be affected.

At the beginning of the game, this problem had not yet manifested, so Southampton suppressed the opponent in one go, and continued to create opportunities.

Amidst the shouts of Southampton fans, Southampton quickly looked for a chance to score. Du Yue retreated to get the ball, then passed the ball to Valverde in front, and then advanced himself, Valverde took the ball horizontally After the ball was passed to Du Yue who was following up, Du Yue took the ball forward again. Seeing the opponent's two defenders blocking him, he chose to pass a cross to Valverde, and then continued to advance. Valverde slightly Adjusted a bit, and then sent a through ball!

Du Yue, who rushed forward quickly, used his speed to throw off the opponent's defender, and after receiving the ball, he suddenly shot from a small angle!

The ball flew into the near corner of the goal like a shell, and the opponent's captain Schmeichel didn't even react.

"The goal was scored! Du Yue and Valverde's wonderful cooperation! Valverde passed through, Du Yue scored with a single-handed shot! It seems that playing a bit unhappy in the World Cup did not affect his performance! In the group stage , his performance was completely overwhelmed by Kane, and in the knockout stage, he scored three goals! And this goal also proves that with the right pass, he can always score!"

Amid the narrator's shouts, Du Yue opened his arms and ran happily in the arena.

Indeed, playing in Southampton is much happier than playing in the England national team!

In this World Cup, Du Yue played a bit unhappy.

As soon as I returned to Southampton, the familiar feeling came back immediately.
