Chapter 878 Began to Question Southampton
Chapter 878 Began to Question Southampton
If a coach with an unstable position and low prestige is changed, and there are so many problems in tactical adaptation and running-in, the players may have lost confidence long ago and think that the team needs to make changes.
But fortunately, for Southampton, these are not considered problems. Southampton players will not doubt Ji Ya, let alone be stupid enough to have any ideological conflicts with Ji Ya.
Ji Ya told them to calm down, they should calm down properly, and then execute it.
The mentality of De Bruyne and Rodri are also different. Although De Bruyne played a little uncomfortable, he also believed that Kiya's judgment was correct. After all, it was under Kiya's leadership that he started from a An ordinary young talent has now become almost the best midfielder in the world. Ji Ya's training and use of him is the key to his outstanding performance.
This can be seen from his performance in the club and the national team...
In the club, he is the No. [-] midfielder. In the national team, although he is also very strong, he is far less magical than in the club.
And Rodri's idea is a bit more pure. Being able to come to Southampton from Villarreal is a leap forward. Since Ji Ya still insists on reusing him, then even if he gritted his teeth, he still had to perform. better.
Keeping calm is the premise of controlling the ball and passing the offense, because this tactic requires a very high level of calmness in the player's mentality. It should not be too aggressive or too lax.
Such a long period of tossing is actually for the team to find that new "speed".
After the start of the second half, amidst the shouts of Fulham fans, the Southampton players began to keep calm and continue to attack with the ball. Under the opponent's pressing and running, they remained motionless.
Ji Ya didn't feel any comfort because of this. After all, for Southampton, it's normal for such performance to appear from time to time, but if they want to appear steadily like before, leaving almost no room for the opponent to use, then It's a little difficult.
But as long as they do that, score goals and win, it's not a big deal.
Just 3 minutes after the start of the second half, Cancelo made an assist. After receiving a goal from De Bruyne, he cut into the penalty area and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Di faced the flying ball with a header and easily headed the ball into the empty goal!
Two to two tie!
This goal made the Fulham fans a little silent, but their team did not let them down for too long. Fulham, who went crazy through continuous running, continued to pass through continuously in the following time. Running and impact are looking for opportunities, making Southampton's ball possession tactics quite difficult.
In such a stalemate, Mitrovic miraculously completed the last goal.
When he headed the ball into the goal guarded by Mendy in the air, the Fulham fans roared with excitement!
The bottom-ranked Fulham had a big upset in this game. At home, they defeated Southampton with a score of [-] to [-]!
Although Southampton's performance this year was mediocre, as the team that defeated Southampton for the second time this season, Fulham felt extremely glorious!
"Fulham played very well...With their strength, they should be able to relegation successfully...We didn't play very well in this game, but we will stick to the right path." Ji Ya said after the game said at a press conference.
The second consecutive loss in just three days made Southampton seem to be in a huge crisis. In addition to the draw in the last round, after defeating Manchester City, they have already lost three rounds!
Although Southampton, who lost this game, is still ranked sixth, Liverpool has already begun to lead them by [-] points, and Manchester City leads them by [-] points. Such a points gap is already quite huge!
Intensive games will not give Southampton any respite. They will soon usher in the fifth round of the Champions League at home. Southampton will play against Inter Milan at home.
Southampton is now leading Inter Milan by five points. In this game, they only need a draw to qualify for the group stage. However, Southampton's recent poor performance has given Inter Milan a glimmer of hope.
"We will work hard to get out of the group. This may be a very difficult thing for Inter Milan, but we will still work hard to do so." Inter Milan coach Spalletti was interviewed after arriving in Southampton time to say.
But under such circumstances, Southampton will not have any problems.
After all, even if they lose, they still have a two-point advantage. At worst, they can fight Real Madrid in the last round...
Thinking about it this way, it seems very dangerous!
So Southampton fans are still a little worried.
After all, whether Southampton can score a point under such circumstances is indeed a bit doubtful...they even lost to Fulham!
It has to be said that such doubts hurt the Southampton players very much.
Most of the young players don't understand. Just over a week ago, when they beat Manchester City, the whole world praised them, thinking that Southampton is on the right track, and they are still the team that won five consecutive championships. But after three rounds of invincibility, it is doubtful whether they can even score a point against Inter Milan at home...
This is simply a huge insult to them!
Although Inter Milan performed very well in the first round, the next few games proved that their overall performance is still average, with a few outstanding players, but their overall tactics are very rigid. With Southampton's ability, The problem with beating them, that's not a big deal at all.
But they also knew that it was because Southampton's performance in the first few games was indeed ups and downs, which caused people to start to doubt them.
After all, generally speaking, the poor state of the collective always takes a while to disappear.
And at this time, Du Yue also encountered a scoring shortage.
After scoring twice against Manchester City, he started and played the whole game in the next two rounds of the league, but he failed to score. Southampton also failed to win the game because he did not score. Scored three goals and supported Southampton's offense, but it is obvious that such an offense is not enough to create the kind of deterrence that Southampton had before.
In fact, this is also a key point why the media began to question Southampton-Southampton did not rely on one person to win in the past, but after Du Yue's steady output for two consecutive seasons, will Southampton also be able to win? Didn't score a goal when Du Yue's state declined?
