"It's also a four-four-two formation... Japanese players have good basic skills. This is the result of long-term learning from Brazil. They are relatively stable and less impactful."

The entanglement between the two sides on the field was basically a tie - Kashima Antlers' midfield control ability is really good, and Southampton's midfielder is a substitute midfielder after all. Although they cooperate tacitly, their overall strength is still poor. A little, so there is no way to completely suppress Kashima Antlers.
Such a result made the morale of Kashima Antlers quite high. Two years ago, they almost overturned Southampton at the time, and the players of Kashima Antlers are a little excited when they think about it. Now, the scene is comparable. Also let them start to gain more self-confidence!
"Didn't I hear that Southampton's state is not good recently? We have struggled in the Premier League this season. We might have a chance to overthrow Southampton in one fell swoop, and then break Southampton's monopoly in the Club World Cup! "
Thinking of this, their fighting spirit on the field became even stronger.
Confidence is of course very beneficial to the performance of the players. After the midfielder kept possession of the ball, they also began to create opportunities continuously.
Just one minute into the game, their Brazilian striker Serginho received a pass from his teammate on the left side of the penalty area, and then took a shot before De Ligt made up for it. Martin made a timely save, a beautiful side throw , The ball was blocked, and the ball changed course and flew out of the baseline.

Next, Kashima Antlers used a corner kick to create a chance. Araujo made a clearance but headed the ball towards the opponent. The opponent's midfielder volleyed and missed.
"During this period, Kashima Antlers' offensive performance was quite good! They showed a very good state, and they actually started a confrontation with Southampton, and they did not lose the wind!"
"No, I feel that Kashima Antlers even have some upper hand... This team is indeed on the rise! Southampton sent all the substitute lineup, which is still a bit of a big deal..."
The commentators began to comment on the performance of both sides, and basically they all started to praise Kashima Antlers. This kind of praise made many Chinese fans who paid attention to this game feel uncomfortable...
However, Kashima Antlers performed really well.
In the next attack, they almost scored - Yasushi Endo sent a beautiful through pass from the right, and striker Masaru Doi turned offside to get ahead of De Ligt and Araujo. When the ball arrived, just when the Southampton fans almost exclaimed, Martin made a very timely attack.

As Southampton's substitute goalkeeper, Martin still showed his outstanding ability!
"Southampton always seems to be able to pick up the leak in the goalkeeper position... Their previous main goalkeeper was Keylor Navas who was dug from North America, followed by Gulacci who had no chance after staying in Liverpool for five years. Now the main goalkeeper The goalkeeper is Mendy who came to the door by himself. It is said that he could not even stay in Ligue [-] before. Martin is also a substitute goalkeeper who has been at Arsenal for several years and has not had any chance. Now he is not doing well in Southampton. Vulgar! They haven't spent too much money on the goalkeeper position, so far they have only spent a little transfer fee on Navas! From this perspective, Ji Ya's signings are as amazing as ever!"
Amidst the commentator's praise, Martin waved his fist. Although he played as a substitute in Southampton, he still had some opportunities to play, and the personal training plan given to him by Ji Ya also made him quite happy. ——Every player who has received Southampton's individual training plan basically has very high achievements.
For Martin, who is actually quite out of character, having such an opportunity and treatment now is enough to make him feel quite satisfied.
But in any case, the threat of Kashima Antlers' attack this time is indeed great. Martin's outstanding performance cannot conceal their unhappiness and embarrassment when they were suppressed by Kashima Antlers in the midfield.
Some of Southampton's substitute players who were irritated began to launch a tidal wave of offense in the following time!
Fee b broke through and crossed, and Alvarez, who followed up, kicked and shot from the top of the penalty area to meet the rolling ball!

After B Fei breaks through and divides the ball, Prouse makes the ball again, and Phillips, who follows up, shoots vigorously against the rolling ball!
In just 5 minutes, Southampton completed three quite threatening attacks!
However, Kashima Antlers' defense is also quite tenacious.
Their goalkeeper made two excellent saves and another shot was physically blocked by a united defender.
Facing the enraged Southampton players, they tried their best to keep their goal!
