Chapter 903

Now for the Premier League, there is too much excitement, so even if Southampton won the Club World Cup for five consecutive championships, after returning to the league, they no longer have any hot spots...

The recent hotspots are Liverpool and Manchester City, who have swept thousands of troops, and Solskjaer, who has returned like a king after Mourinho dismissed get out of class.

Various Manchester United celebrities enthusiastically stated in the media that Solskjaer has Manchester United's DNA, and only he is the next Ferguson that Manchester United needs!

There is no doubt about Manchester United's influence, so during this period of time, the media has begun to chase Solskjaer, and it has also made other teams a little boring.

In other words, let other teams get a rare peace.

So much so that Southampton won five consecutive championships, not many people paid attention to them.

However, under such circumstances, Ji Ya felt quite good. After all, what Southampton needs now is a quiet rest.

Of course, this kind of cleanliness is only for a short time. As the No.20 round of the game is getting closer, the target and heat of public opinion have begun to turn to the match between Southampton and Manchester City.

It is of course necessary to pay attention to this game. Although Southampton is currently ranked sixth, they have already won a wave of three consecutive victories in the league before going to the Club World Cup. This is still Southampton this season. The first three consecutive victories in the league, coupled with the crushing performance in the Club World Cup, is enough to prove that Southampton has now recovered their form.

As for Manchester City, although they have been winning consecutively recently, they are already behind Liverpool by as much as four points. This round Manchester City is against Southampton, and Liverpool is against Arsenal. If you are lucky, you can narrow the points gap to One point, if you are unlucky, you may be left behind by seven points by Liverpool!

Although half of the season has just passed, if such a big gap is left behind, it will be very difficult to catch up.

After all, Liverpool's performance in the league so far is not generally stable. While they continue to win, they almost always win big, showing their strong strength.

For Southampton, this game is also very important. Now they are [-] points behind Liverpool and [-] points behind Manchester City. Although there are two games less, Southampton's ability to grab points this season is not so strong. If the lead is expanded again, then they will basically lose the hope of winning the league this season.

Beat Manchester City in this round, and then watch Manchester City and Liverpool confront in the next round, and then win the make-up match, Southampton will have a chance to return to the ranks of the league championship!

Moreover, Southampton has been a bit like Manchester City in the past few years. They defeated Manchester City even after their performance in the first half of the season was so bad. Under such circumstances, they must want to beat Manchester City and keep their chances of winning the championship!

Under such circumstances, Southampton certainly needs to perform better.

What kind of sparks will Kiya collide with Guardiola in this game?It's really exciting!

With so many factors in it, the media from all walks of life naturally paid a lot of attention. Anyway, even if Solskjaer leads the team to win consecutively, they will not be able to hit the championship for the time being. The hole left by Mourinho is too big. One point behind Southampton, but Southampton, who has two games less, still has the hope of hitting the championship.

Southampton's current main lineup is stable, and Manchester City is similar. Their lineup is also stable, but the performance of the left back Mendy is mediocre. Now Guardiola uses Zinchenko as the left back more, or let Danilo go to the left. If there is no cameo, Manchester City's lineup is probably the only problem left in this link.

"Sure enough, it's still four, three, three, but Guardiola doesn't need Gundogan, does he want to rely on overall passing and ball possession to create opportunities?" Ji Ya said to Benelli after getting Manchester City's starting lineup.

"Besides this method, there is no other way." Benelli muttered.

Ji Ya nodded. Indeed, without midfield players of the level of De Bruyne and Rodri, Gundogan alone would not be able to stabilize the transmission and control of the midfield. On the contrary, both Silvas have excellent breakthroughs Ability, with the players in the frontcourt, they can play more aggressively in offense.

It is also an extremely wise choice to use the ball to confront Southampton, and then use breakthroughs to create more opportunities.

"Now players from both sides are ready to play! The Saints Stadium is full at the moment! This is the first time Southampton has played at home after winning the Club World Cup for five consecutive times. Look at the enthusiasm of the Southampton fans! I think Southampton The Puton Club is about to start preparing for the expansion of the stadium again, and the stadium with 7000 people is still far from enough! The home team Southampton starts with [-], goalkeeper Mendy, defenders Cancelo, Chilwell, Maguire Er and De Ligt, midfielders De Bruyne, Rodri, Grealish and Valverde, strikers Du Yue and Bruno Fernandez! This is a bit surprising change, Southampton don't want a center yet And Manchester City's starting lineup is four three three, goalkeeper Ederson, defender Walker, Zinchenko, Kompany, Laporte, midfielder Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva and big David Silva as two wing forwards, wingers Mahrez and Sterling, center Aguero!"

"The frontcourt is full of technical players. On the surface, they are four-three-three, but in fact they still have to play possession." Ji Ya said with a smile when shaking hands with Guardiola.

Guardiola is also not curious about how Ji Ya knows. With Ji Ya's ability, it is quite normal to be able to detect this. After all, Manchester City and Southampton's tactics are very similar, and Manchester City has quite a lot of skilled players. , Both Silva and Mahrez are players with excellent personal skills and excellent organizational skills. Such players can complete beautiful ball-handling offenses even without Gundogan on the court.

"To deal with you, of course you have to be careful." Guardiola shrugged.

"Don't forget that our physical fitness has the upper hand. I won't give up on this point." Ji Ya laughed.

Guardiola nodded. Of course, he was mentally prepared for this. Although Southampton flew back from the UAE, six days have passed. These six days are enough for them to recover their physical fitness and state. It was Manchester City who just played a game three days ago, and it was quite thrilling to win. In terms of physical fitness, Southampton is indeed better.

This is why Guardiola didn't go to Gundogan. Even if he is playing possession, it can't be that kind of expendable possession, otherwise how can he compete with Southampton.
