Chapter 845 Start to restore state

September [-]st, the fourth round of the league.

It has to be said that under heavy pressure, strong teams can always perform better.

Southampton met Crystal Palace in this round. Although they performed well in the first three rounds, they are now ranked tenth, but in terms of strength, they are worse than Everton and Leicester City.

They are also weaker against the pressure created by Southampton's midfield.

Crystal Palace's defense and forwards are good. The forward combination is Ayew and former Southampton player Benteke, while the defense has defensive champions such as Wan Bisaka and Sakho. On the contrary, the midfielder is weaker.

Such a midfielder seems a little weaker if he wants to suppress and interfere with Southampton's midfielder.

So in this game, the operation of Southampton's midfield was quite smooth.

If the midfield is running smoothly, then victory will come as scheduled.

Although in the away game, Southampton has an absolute advantage, they continue to create opportunities, and Du Yue quickly showed why he is always the best striker in Southampton.

Game No.203 minutes.

De Bruyne took the ball in the midfield and sent a direct pass. The ball flew directly to Du Yue's feet near the top of the penalty area. When the Crystal Palace defender tried his best to interfere with Du Yue, Du Yue did not stop the ball, but As soon as he lifted his foot, he passed the ball to Vardy who rushed into the penalty area.

Vardy took the ball, and now Crystal Palace's defense focused on him. However, Vardy did not continue to take the ball forward, but raised his foot slightly, and passed the ball back to Du Yue...

This time, the attention of Crystal Palace's defense was completely drawn. After Du Yue took the ball, there was only one defender who turned hastily in front of him. shoot!

The curved ball kicked by Du Yue from the inside of his foot flew past the goalkeeper's outstretched hand, and then plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

The Southampton fans who came from afar began to cheer.

Sure enough, in this game, we played much more smoothly!The previous game situation was just a coincidence. Now that the main force has returned, the tacit understanding has come out, and victory and goals will naturally come!

After taking the lead, Southampton began to play more easily. They kept looking for opportunities by passing back and forth, and at the same time firmly controlled the midfield, and did not give Crystal Palace any chance.

Crystal Palace can only continue to look for opportunities through long passes. However, although Ayew and Benteke are good players, it is difficult for them to find any opportunities under the pressure of Maguire and De Ligt.

Before the end of the first half, Southampton scored another goal.

This time the goal came from the cooperation of two players on the left. Chilwell, who was the left back in this game, dribbled the ball forward and then passed it straight. Foot shot, the ball roared into the goal from the near point.

"The youngster Vinicius scored! What a wonderful shot! He was not afraid of stage in the penalty area and broke through the gate of Crystal Palace! Since the beginning of this season, Southampton's new players have had a lot of opportunities. They are also doing quite well! They are also the future of Southampton!"

After scoring the goal, Vinicius ran excitedly on the field. He was still adapting to the atmosphere of the English league, but he was forced to play several games due to the current situation of Southampton. Now he can have such a goal. There are huge benefits to his subsequent development and a foothold in Southampton.

Kiya slapped his hands, Vinicius' performance really brought him a surprise, although he still thinks that Vinicius should adapt to the style of English football more, but now there is such a goal, for him next There are indeed no small benefits.

After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to occupy the advantage on the field, and the young players in the frontcourt were also running and pressing at all costs, making it more difficult for Crystal Palace to attack.

Vinicius once again had a wonderful performance in the second half. His constant pressing caused the opponent's goalkeeper to make a mistake. After stealing the ball from the opponent's goalkeeper, Vinicius made an inverted triangle pass back near the baseline. De Bruyne followed up easily Kicked the ball into the empty goal, three to zero!

This is also the final score of this game. Southampton finished the Crystal Palace away with three goals, which made people feel that the previous two consecutive draws were just temporary difficulties they encountered, but now, they still have a huge advantage !

"I am very happy to have won this game, but it doesn't mean anything. Next is the FIFA match day, which will be more difficult for us, so we need to perform better next time."

Ji Ya showed cautious optimism in the post-match press conference, but at the beginning of this season, all the strong teams performed very well. It has been four rounds. Chelsea and Liverpool still maintained a four-game winning streak. Tottenham lost this round, and they lost to Watford, who had also won three consecutive games before - the Hornets have really made an impressive start to the season.

Manchester United came out of failure. They defeated Burnley and came out of the shadow of two consecutive losses. Arsenal also defeated Cardiff City and won two consecutive victories.

Southampton is now ranked sixth with eight points, which is a ranking that is not up or down.

However, in the eyes of Southampton fans, Chelsea and Liverpool will definitely have ups and downs in the future, and after Southampton's running-in is over, they will start to catch up with their opponents in one go. It will be Southampton!

This confidence comes from Southampton's previous invincibility.

After this round of the league, the Southampton team was disbanded, and the main players basically went to various clubs. Only a few young players or substitutes remained in the first team.

Ji Ya gave the players a day off, while he flew to Monte Carlo to prepare for this season's Champions Cup draw ceremony.

The first-tier teams in the Champions League are now determined-the champions of the Champions League and Europa League, plus the champions of the first six leagues, are the first-tier teams, so this time the first-tier teams will become Champions League champion Southampton, Europa League champion Atletico Madrid, La Liga champion Barcelona, ​​increasing Premier League runner-up Manchester City, Serie A champion Juventus, Bundesliga champion Bayern, French champion Paris Saint-Germain and Russian Super League champion Lokomotiv Moscow.

In this way, this season's Champions League will definitely be very lively-because of not winning the league championship, Real Madrid has become a second-tier team. At the same time, the second-tier teams also include Roma, Manchester United, Naples, Dortmund and other strong teams.
