Chapter 902 Hope to Come Again Next Year

Southampton quickly proved with practical actions that those who held the idea that Al Ain might have a chance were indeed overthinking.

Because only 3 minutes after the re-kick-off, the ball began to enter Southampton's control again.

There is no such thing as seizing the opportunity to recover a point, or trying to launch an offense.

After the re-kick-off, Al Ain really wanted to attack hard, but they still failed to find a good opportunity. After the pass into the penalty area, although they fought hard in the middle to get a header to ferry, but the second point But controlled by Cancelo.

Then there was no more, Southampton began to continue to suppress Al Ain through continuous offense.

Du Yuela made a cross from the side, and Grealish grabbed a shot from the back and was blocked by the opposing defender from the bottom line.

De Bruyne changed position to the left and crossed. Al Ain goalkeeper saved the ball. Vardy headed the ball again to the penalty area and was destroyed. Valverde's barb shot from the back point was over the crossbar.

Du Yue received a ball from Vardy in the penalty area, then turned around and shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper from the bottom line.

De Bruyne's corner kick entered the penalty area, and the opposing defender made a clearance not far away. Valverde volleyed and the ball went over the crossbar again.

In this way, he continued to attack until the No. 603 minute. Rodri sent a through pass. Du Yue successfully broke into the penalty area against offside. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly pushed the far corner and scored twice.

After leading [-]-[-], Southampton slowed down the pace of the game. Ji Ya replaced Vardy with B fee, and then replaced Du Yue with Alvarez, planning to slow down in the next time Rhythm.

But even so, they still expanded their lead again in the No.708 minute. Fee B made a corner kick. De Bruyne's corner kick accurately found Maguire who was going forward and assisting. Maguire shook his head and hit the goal. , Headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, four to zero.

Al Ain finally recovered a point in the No.805 minute. Japanese defender Shioya Tsukasa scored with a header, saving some face for the hosts.

It's just that this ball is just to save a little face.

In the end, the score of this game was four to one. Southampton won ten consecutive victories and five consecutive championships in the Club World Cup. In this game with a short history, Southampton undoubtedly has the most Brilliant performance!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fans applauded warmly and sent blessings to Southampton, the five-time Club World Cup winner.

"I am very happy to win five consecutive championships... Abu Dhabi is a very beautiful place. I hope we can come here at the end of next year."

Kiya said so at the celebration ceremony after the game, which aroused huge cheers from the local fans.

Southampton is very popular in China now, which is determined by Ji Ya’s nationality, but in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, they do not occupy a large share. The overlord of Southeast Asia is Liverpool, and their popularity in Southeast Asia is unmatched. In comparison, in Japan and South Korea, teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are more popular because they developed Asia much earlier.

Under such circumstances, East Asia is basically full, so in the Middle East, Southampton still has the ability to divide a large cake.

After all, there is money in this place, and there is not much influence of traditional giants. Whoever performs well and comes more will get a bigger share.

In the past three years, the Club World Cup has been scored in the United Arab Emirates. Southampton has won two championships. If it can come next year, then Southampton's influence in the Middle East will definitely occupy the largest piece !

In fact, the UAE already has a lot of sponsorship talks with Southampton. Although the Abu Dhabi Group controls Manchester City, they don't mind a better relationship with Southampton.

It is definitely not possible to buy shares or something. There is a conflict with Manchester City, but the sponsorship has no effect. It seems that the number of teams in the same league sponsored by Nike is really quite a lot, and there is no such thing as a Nike department.

If you have money to make, of course you have to make it.

Southampton has always had a team conducting negotiations in this area in the Middle East. Kiya has also inspected it before, and is quite satisfied with their results.

After winning the Club World Cup, Ji Ya flew back to Southampton with the whole team, because the final of the Club World Cup was held on the 22nd, which coincided with the No.18 Premier League round. At the same time, the No.19 round The game will be held around Christmas. It is impossible for Southampton to fly back from the Middle East on the 23rd and participate in a league game in three days, so the No.19 league round is also postponed. Under such circumstances, Southampton players Instead, they got a rare chance to have a Christmas holiday...

In normal times, the Premier League around Christmas is the time when the game is the most intensive, and there is still a holiday, what a joke.

However, due to the time change of the Club World Cup, Southampton's two rounds of the league were postponed. The next round of the league is the 29th home game against Manchester City. It will be played on the [-]th, so Southampton got a rest instead. Opportunity.

So Ji Ya gave the players a day off on the 25th to let them relax.

"In the next game against Manchester City, we have an advantage." Kiya said to Benelli.

"Yeah, in fact, we have two days more rest than them, which is a big advantage." Benelli nodded.

"Unfortunately, both Liverpool and Manchester City won the last round. If there is no accident, they will also win this round. We have been separated. I don't know if there is a chance to catch up. But this season's champion Cup, I have more confidence." Ji Ya laughed.

Benelli nodded. This is indeed the case. Looking at the performance of Manchester City and Liverpool, it is actually very difficult to lose points. Even if you lose, you will not lose too much. big.

In fact, this is true. In the No.19 round, neither Liverpool nor Manchester City had any problems. They defeated Newcastle and Leicester City respectively. The score swept Newcastle, showing an extremely good state.

In this way, after nineteen rounds of the league, Liverpool scored 51 wins and three draws with 47 points, while Manchester City scored [-] wins, two draws and two losses with [-] points, four points behind Liverpool.

Southampton has only played 33 rounds now, with nine wins, six draws and two losses, with [-] points, still ranked sixth, but only one point ahead of Manchester United...

Of course, when Southampton went to the Club World Cup, because they lost to Liverpool in the No.17 round, Mourinho had already dismissed get out of class and was replaced by Solskjaer. The Norwegian babyface got it as soon as he took office Two consecutive victories have stabilized the momentum of Manchester United's collapse.
