Chapter 862 Wise Eindhoven

For Southampton and PSV, this game is very important.

Southampton scored four points in the first two rounds, which is not particularly good, but if PSV can get more points, then in this group stage, Southampton can qualify more easily.

Maybe taking advantage of Real Madrid and Inter Milan fighting to the death, Southampton can advance ahead of schedule.

As for Eindhoven, they have lost all the first two games, at this time, there must be no mistakes.

The head coach of Eindhoven is the former Bayern midfielder Van Bommel. After retiring, this player served as the head coach of the youth team in Eindhoven, accumulating experience along the way. Coach, he filled in naturally.

It is actually much easier for such a former player from a wealthy family to transform into a head coach. Compared with him, Sarri, who only coached a Serie A team at the age of 55, crawled slower than a tortoise.

However, unless such a coach is very talented, otherwise, he will have to pay a lot of tuition.

They lost quite badly in the first two rounds, first to Real Madrid, and then to Inter Milan at home [-]-[-]. , or Eindhoven players, have to work hard.

"There are still some good players in their team...Forward Luke De Jong is good. He is a forward with a strong impact. Although the other players have not seen any outstanding talents, they are not good in terms of experience and basic skills. Bad, to deal with such a team, you have to be patient." Benelli said to Ji Ya.

"That's the reason, be patient." Ji Ya nodded. He agreed with Benelli's proposal. Eindhoven is also a top team. Their team system, it is actually very difficult to beat them.

Real Madrid was able to defeat them in the first round, mainly because Eindhoven adopted the wrong tactics and tried to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Real Madrid in the away game. However, after Real Madrid controlled the midfield, they easily tore apart by passing. Their defensive line, and the loss to Inter Milan at home in the second round was a bit of luck. Inter Milan seized two not particularly good opportunities and scored goals. This performance is obviously not normal. In terms of their strength and Inter Milan's strength, they are also in a state of half and half.

"The overall strength of this group is actually very good, but we are relatively restrained against Real Madrid, so our pressure is not too great. If Real Madrid is replaced by Bayern, then this group will be really difficult to play." Ji Ya Said to Benelli with a smile.

"Then unless Bayern loses the Bundesliga champion." Benelli laughed.

The battle is imminent, Southampton's coaching staff still seems very relaxed, while Southampton's players have maintained a high degree of emphasis on the game.

The situation in Southampton this season is not particularly good. Perhaps the young players have not been able to tighten their nerves in time, but these relatively mature players who play the main force have completely adjusted their mentality.

Every game is very difficult, and no game can be won easily.

Only with this mentality, can we remain calm and rational in any situation on the court.

This is also the importance of De Bruyne's core. Although he seems a little lacking in explosive power, his calmness and composure can make Southampton perform better in the game.

When players from both sides played, the PSV fans cheered loudly and supported their home team.

They know that in such a group, if they don't perform well, they may not have a chance to win the Europa League.

Although the winning rate against Southampton is very low, they still have to work hard to score points so that they have a chance to hit the third position.

For the Eredivisie teams, their league tasks are not particularly heavy, so the economic benefits of participating in European competitions are more important.

After all, the financial resources of the Eredivisie team have always been like that, otherwise they would not always play the role of a star factory.

Van Bommel sent a four-two-three-one lineup in this game, which can also be said to be the traditional four-three-three of the Dutch team, while Ji Ya sent a standard four-four-two. In terms of formation, both sides It can be regarded as the tip of the needle.

Southampton can make better use of the width of the field, attack from the center, outflank the two wings, and suppress the opponent's defense, while Eindhoven uses two wingers to contain the attack of Southampton's two full-backs, allowing Southampton Putton's wing cooperation couldn't be played well.

From the beginning of the game, the two sides concentrated in the midfield and started the confrontation.

The disastrous defeat of Real Madrid let Eindhoven know that it is actually more difficult to counterattack with defense against such a team.

Not to mention that Eindhoven does not have strikers and wingers with particularly outstanding personal abilities.

If there is Robben and Van Nistelrooy in front, then it is still very effective to play defensive counterattacks, but now they do not have such top players.

It's better to entangle in the midfield and use the overall strength and running to fight against Southampton!

"A wise choice, this is how Inter Milan entangled us in the first game." Benelli muttered.

Ji Ya turned his head and glanced at him. Indeed, if a relatively weak team wants to beat a strong team, it must perform better in terms of running and confrontation. Although it may not be sure to win, but To be able to perform better at the maximum and to play to your full strength.

The choices between Inter Milan and Eindhoven in the first round were two completely different opposites. Inter Milan used running and confrontation to equalize the score at the last moment when they were two goals behind, while Eindhoven used relative comparisons. Stupid counterattack, let yourself lose to Real Madrid...

In any case, Spalletti's experience is still much richer.

It's just that for Southampton, they no longer have too many emotional fluctuations in this situation.

Running-in problem, kicking and kicking, it will be fine slowly.

De Bruyne still controls the ball very well in the midfield, and Rodri responds behind him. His foot skills allow him to control the ball well when he gets it, and then distribute it to teammates in better positions. .

This is a good way after two excellent midfield players have completed their cooperation.

In the past, Southampton's core was De Bruyne, and now he is still the core, but Rodri can assist him very well.

If things like dual-core are not done well, it will cause internal friction, but if they are done well, the pressure on the opponent will also increase exponentially.

Although the running-in between him and Rodri is not particularly good, under such circumstances, Eindhoven's pressing will not cause them too much trouble.
