Chapter 888 There Are More Good News
Regarding his own judgment, Ji Ya didn't say much. If it was normal, the difference of [-] points would not worry Ji Ya. What happened to the [-] points? Didn't Newcastle lead Manchester United by [-] points back then? Didn't lose the league championship...
Of course, there are two teams that Southampton has to chase now, and neither Guardiola nor Klopp will be as vulnerable as Keegan.
And if these two teams chase back and forth, there won't be much relaxation between them.
But it's useless to say too much now, it's good to consolidate one's own state game by game, and of course the league cannot give up, unless there is really no hope.
After the game against Tottenham, Ji Ya flew to Wales with the whole team. Their opponent in the next round is Cardiff City. This is also the only one of the twenty Premier League teams outside of England. Premier League teams.
For Southampton, their biggest opponent now is fatigue.
But fortunately, Southampton's ball-handling tactics themselves are relatively energy-saving. Even two consecutive away games will not affect their performance too much.
Cardiff City is currently ranked No.16 in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone. To deal with such a team, calmness and patience are always the most important.
Patiently entangle with the other party, relying on superior strength to find opportunities.
Ji Ya's rotation in this game continued only in the forward and defensive positions. Peters started as a left back, and central defender Dericht also got a chance to start. Alvarez and Du Yue partnered on the striker. The combination does not change in any way.
After all, under such circumstances, what the midfielder needs is stability.
Cardiff City's tactics are nothing special. They still use a lot of running to interfere with Southampton's midfield possession attack. Under their impact, Southampton's midfield will inevitably have some problems.
However, Southampton's midfielder in this game did not give the opponent such a chance.
They continued to play an active offensive from the very beginning of the game, while controlling the midfield, and did not give their opponents many chances.
Grealish shot in the penalty area after receiving a direct pass from De Bruyne at the beginning of the game, and then Rodri found him in a cross, but unfortunately his shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
After two consecutive shots were blocked by the opponent, Grealish began to use the pass to initiate the attack. After receiving his pass, Alvarez forced a breakthrough shot and the ball went high.
After the continuous attack at the beginning, the players of Cardiff City were a little annoyed. They continued to press, trying to find a better opportunity.
However, their press can only make the loopholes in the defense bigger.
Chilwell quickly opened the door for Southampton in the No. 18 minute. Grealish dribbled the ball laterally and gave it to Chilwell. He quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and swayed past a The defender dribbled the ball laterally, and then raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area. Alvarez shook his head and hit the goal with the back point, and the ball flew into the near corner of the goal!
One to zero, Southampton took the lead smoothly.
After taking the lead, Southampton did not stop attacking. After only 1 minute, Southampton's attack on the left made a comeback again. Grealish received the ball and forced a breakthrough. Chilwell's running and pulling attracted Attracting the opponent's attention, Grealish did not pass the ball to Chilwell, but directly dribbled the ball to the baseline, and then raised his foot to pass. The ball was sent into the gate of Cardiff City for the second time!
In just 2 minutes, Southampton scored two goals in a row and gained a sufficient advantage.
The next game will naturally be easy to handle.
They didn't slack on the field and didn't give their opponents many chances. Instead, they took advantage of a corner kick in the second half to score again - Rodri found a chance in the melee, kicked the ball in the small penalty area, and scored the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
Three to zero, Southampton beat Cardiff City away!
After three consecutive league games this week, Southampton drew [-]-[-] with Manchester United, and then defeated Tottenham and Cardiff City in a row. In the middle, they showed an extremely good state, and their midfield possession tactics did not have any problems, which is enough to prove that they are completely on the right track!
This is simply a nightmare for Southampton's next opponents.
"I think for the rest of the game, everyone's going to be shaking because we're really starting to come back!" Kiya said with a smile in the post-match press conference.
When I said this, there was a bit of silence at the scene. Although the reporters were crazily complaining about Ji Ya, you have only won a few games, and now it is only 6 points. From the ranking point of view, you are still No.[-]!
But no one dares to refute your words, so what is going on!
The reporters began to ask themselves whether they have been slapped too much by Ji Ya in the past few years, so they dare not refute Ji Ya at all...
For Southampton, in addition to winning, they finally heard good news. In this round of the game, although Liverpool continued to win and looked unstoppable, Manchester City finally stopped their winning streak. Defeated by Chelsea [-]-[-] and extended to four points by Liverpool, they are only nine points ahead of Southampton!
This is of course good news, because in the No.20 round, Southampton will face Manchester City for the second time...
My own state began to recover, and Manchester City's state began to decline. Isn't that a good opportunity?
Of course, Southampton does not seem to have to consider this issue for the time being, because after a Champions League group match and a league game, they will have to play in the Club World Cup.
In this process, Southampton's [-]th and [-]th rounds of the league will be postponed, that is to say, after Southampton returns from the Club World Cup, they will face Manchester City.
This schedule has obviously been arranged long ago. After all, the schedule for this season's Club World Cup has also been released a few days later than in previous years. Therefore, in previous years, Southampton was postponed for the No.17 and 18 rounds of the league. , and now, the No.19 and No.[-] rounds of the league have been postponed.
"I originally wanted Manchester City to beat us under such circumstances, but now they think too much." Ji Ya said to Benelli with a smile.
"To beat Manchester City head-to-head, it's only six points away..." said Benelli.
"Then there's Liverpool, how could they all lose the chain." Ji Ya replied.
