Chapter 887 Finally recovered

Although Tottenham were desperately preparing to score again in the rest of the first half, they were unable to create too many good opportunities under Southampton's pressing and confrontation.

Tottenham's offense is better at counterattacks, but Southampton did not leave them too many opportunities in the backcourt. At the same time, Southampton knew that they had a large gap in the backcourt, so they recovered very deeply when defending. Only when the ball is in possession of the attack, will it be actively pressed.

Tottenham can't steal Southampton's ball possession attack, so they can't launch a better fast break.

So in the rest of the first half, although Tottenham's players were working hard to attack, they still couldn't find any good opportunities.

"Tottenham's offense was good, but they couldn't get too many chances when we defended back ... there is no doubt about that."

Ji Ya smiled and said in the locker room, the players also nodded one after another, the game in the first half really made them feel very happy, because they regained the feeling of last season.

Holding the ball in the midfield, even if the opponent is pressing, it is difficult to grab the ball from their feet. They can concentrate on finding the flaws in the opponent's defense.

Although the opponent's offense is still very good, Southampton will not be troubled by this kind of thing.

Just keep doing that for the second half.

For Tottenham, the first half of the game made them aware that Southampton's midfield possession ability seems to be back, which can be said to be bad news for any team.

After all, Southampton's midfield didn't work well before, which caused a lot of problems. Now that this problem has been solved, who else can stop them?

But at this time, Tottenham can't give up their pressing tactics because of this-if they don't press, Southampton will be even more difficult to deal with.

And Southampton didn't have any problems with their ball possession tactics in the first half, does it mean that they won't have any problems in the second half?

Regarding this point, the Tottenham players are still confident-continue to press, maybe they can find better opportunities!

With this in mind, after the start of the second half, Tottenham began to press more continuously in the midfield, looking for opportunities.

"Then we won't be polite." Ji Ya sneered as he watched Tottenham continue to press.

It's not that he is arrogant, but that such a pressing will definitely cause more problems in their defense.

Southampton does not lack players who seize opportunities. Under such circumstances, they can naturally get more opportunities!

Sure enough, only 5 minutes into the second half, Southampton created an excellent opportunity. De Bruyne scored the ball in midfield. Du Yue advanced and passed the ball again. The ball came to Vardy's feet. Vardy Immediately took a shot, the ball was saved by Lowry to the bottom line.

De Bruyne stepped into the corner and both Southampton centre-backs rushed forward, putting a lot of pressure on Tottenham's defence.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, and the ball accurately found Rodri, who was going forward. Facing the falling ball, Rodri shook his head and attacked the goal. The ball bounced off the opponent's defender and bounced out of the penalty area. The ball that came down did not stop the ball and directly kicked the goal and scored the ball into the dead corner of the goal!

Three to one, shortly after the start of the second half, Southampton once again expanded its lead!

The Tottenham fans in the stands booed one after another. They also began to feel a little dissatisfied with being beaten like this by Southampton at their home court.

Pochettino is a bit overwhelmed, and now he can't think of any way to solve this situation. After all, when the pressing tactics seem to be useless, it seems that he can only strengthen the offense...

Pochettino replaced the midfielder Winks with Ali to strengthen the offense.

Ali is an excellent attacker, his long-range shots and passes in the frontcourt are very threatening, and strengthening the offense has become the only way for Tottenham.

The effect of this kind of substitution is still very good. Just 5 minutes after Southampton scored, Tottenham recovered a point through a series of cooperation. Ali and Eriksson made continuous cooperation in the middle and then divided the ball. Harry Kane broke through on the right after receiving the ball, and then made a pass. Sun Xingmin who followed up received the ball from the edge of the small penalty area and then volleyed the goal. Mendy couldn't make a save.

"Their strikers are still very flexible, and our defense seems a bit difficult." Benelli said to Ji Ya.

"This has never changed. It's not a big problem. Our possession of the ball itself will weaken the defense in the penalty area and the flexible defense during running... But our possession of the ball will greatly reduce the number of attacks of the opponent. This in itself is a very cost-effective thing." Ji Ya replied.

Although the Tottenham fans in the stands were very excited, for Ji Ya, this was really not a big problem.

After all, for Southampton, under such circumstances, conceding the ball is not important, but whether their own ball possession tactics are smooth or not is important.

Sure enough, in the following time, Southampton continued to control the situation on the field-this was not passive control, but indeed grasped the rhythm of the field. In the pressing and confrontation of the opponent, they firmly He firmly controlled the ball, leaving little for Tottenham to attack.

The two sides have been entangled until the final stage of the game. Southampton played a beautiful counterattack. Chilwell sent a long pass from the backcourt. Du Yue advanced in time and formed a single-handedly. The goalkeeper's attention was on himself, and he immediately passed the ball. After receiving the ball, B Fei, who came off the bench, faced Lori who was attacking, and calmly lobbed the goal...

Four to two!Southampton completed a wonderful victory away!

This is not the first time they have defeated a strong team this season. After all, Manchester City have been defeated by them before. This was achieved with the tacit cooperation of the front waist!

Although it's a bit late, Southampton's ball-handling offense has finally returned to its previous state, and it even looks even better!

"After paying such a high price, it is normal to increase our strength. It is a pity that this season's league may have nothing to do. Manchester City and Liverpool have performed so well, and they will not show any flaws in the next time." Kiya sighed to Benelli.

Benelli shrugged his shoulders. Now Southampton scored 27 points in the 39th round. This round, Manchester City and Liverpool both won again. The points are 38 points and [-] points respectively, leading Southampton by [-] points and [-] points. One point, this number is relatively large, but it is not impossible to catch up.

After all, there are still more than 20 games left in the league.
