Chapter 904 Southampton's Quick Counterattack
After returning to his position, Ji Ya began to concentrate on observing the game. For this game, what he was most worried about was that after a relatively easy game with Al Ain, Southampton players There was no tension for a while. If Manchester City seized such an opportunity to score him one or two at the beginning of the game, then this game would really not be easy to play.
But fortunately, the Southampton players did not show such slack.
After all, although their winning percentage against Manchester City in recent years is still very high, but the point gap is there now, even if there is no difference between the two make-up games, they are at least nine points behind Manchester City. Under such circumstances, it is still underestimated Opponents, don't they have bags in their heads?
Southampton started this game with [-], but when B Fei started, it was equivalent to a [-]. B Fei is also a player with strong skills and coordination ability, but he is mainly in the front Local organization and breakthrough, and scoring are also his strengths. His running in the frontcourt can better help Du Yue draw the opponent's attention.
This tone is destined for Southampton to wear down the opponent's physical fitness through continuous ball possession and passing after the start of the game, and then gradually establish an advantage on the field.
Under such circumstances, Manchester City will play a little faster. Once they have a chance in the frontcourt, they will immediately attack. After all, their frontcourt players have excellent personal abilities, and they want to seize Southampton's defense. Use speed and impact to deal with Southampton.
Although such a tactic does not seem to be in line with the characteristics of Manchester City, the personal abilities of the Manchester City players and the cooperation after possession of the ball in the midfield can still achieve this.
In Ji Ya's judgment, the team will have a certain advantage in this game, but Manchester City definitely has the strength to fight back. The final result of this game depends on the player's state and ability to seize opportunities.
Southampton, who took the lead to kick off, began to exert constant pressure with possession of the ball, but it was Manchester City who took the lead in scoring.
And it was an extremely threatening shot - there was a mistake in Southampton's pass, Manchester City's aggressive pressing in the frontcourt achieved good results, Sterling intercepted De Ligt's pass in the frontcourt, De Ligt Hurt immediately countered and relied on his body to force Sterling. Sterling chose to pass back. David Silva who followed up received the ball and cut inside, and then shot vigorously. Fortunately, Mendy was well positioned , first pounced sideways, and then flew to press the ball under him.
"It's dangerous! David Silva almost scored a goal! Sterling's pass after stealing the frontcourt is very precise!"
In the chanting of the commentator, Dericht made an apologetic gesture to the off-court, Kiya nodded, and then slapped the on-court to make him less stressed.
For a young and mature player like De Ligt, occasional mistakes will not cause him too many emotional fluctuations.
For the other Southampton players, it was unbearable for them to be scored first by their opponents after the opening in their own home court.
So they immediately launched a counterattack.
It's like stabbing a hornet's nest. Before stabbing, the other party may be very quiet, but after stabbing, the other party will start to fry the pot!
Mendy threw the ball in his hand to attack, the ball came directly to Cancelo's feet, the Portuguese started to take the ball forward, Sterling went up to interfere with him, but he accelerated to get rid of it, and then transferred the ball to the frontcourt in a wide range On the left, Grealish unloaded the ball while running, and then dribbled the ball laterally. After attracting the attention of the opponent, he immediately distributed the ball to Chilwell, who advanced forward, and Chilwell dribbled the ball. In the bottom pass, Du Yue rushed forward and shot a feint, but the ball flew to the back point, and the follow-up B Fei shoveled and shot, but a little slower...
The attack sent sighs from the stands.
After all, this attack was really beautiful, and it was only a little short of scoring. Even if the shot was not completed, it was quite threatening.
However, the Southampton players did not have emotional fluctuations because of the failure to score in this offense.
They began to press in the midfield and continued to look for opportunities to score.
Manchester City's offense was still very fast. After realizing that Southampton was pressing fiercely, they quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt. After Sterling took the ball, he forced a breakthrough and was destroyed by Cancelo. Out of the baseline, corner kick.
David Silva took the corner kick, and Manchester City's two central defenders rushed up, but the corner kick did not pose any threat. After Chilwell got the ball in the backcourt, he decisively kicked a long pass!
Du Yue and B Fei, who stayed in the front court, sprinted forward at the same time!
Southampton's counterattack was as fast as lightning. Chilwell's long pass accurately flew to Du Yue's feet. Du Yue began to dribble forward. Under the entanglement, Du Yue still relied on his own technique and speed to keep dribbling forward.
It wasn't until the ball reached the penalty area that Du Yue made an emergency stop, dodged a gap and then passed the ball across!
B Fei, who has been following up from the side, received Du Yue's pass, and then immediately kicked and shot, the ball flew upwards, and then flew into Manchester City's gate from Edson's hand!
One to zero, through a counterattack, Southampton took the lead!
"A wonderful goal! Southampton's counterattack seems simple, but Chilwell's long pass, Du Yue's breakthrough, and even B Fei's follow-up are quite important! Manchester City's counterattack seems A little slow, but who made their central defenders rush to assist?"
The commentator sighed, Southampton's counterattack was indeed too smooth, as if they scored the goal very easily, in fact, there is still a certain element of luck, coupled with the outstanding personal qualities of the players, it can appear so easy .
In fact, Manchester City did not make mistakes. When there is a corner kick, it is a very common tactic for the central defender to advance and assist, but Southampton's counterattack this time really seems to be difficult to parry.
Ji Ya waved his fist, and then gave high-fives to the others to celebrate. The B fee on the field has started to run excitedly. He didn't play many games this season, but his condition is still very good. Given his age, he is now It's time for results, and on the front line, Vardy is a bit old, and Alvarez is still young. As long as he continues to maintain an excellent state, he has the opportunity to become the main striker.
The excellent cooperation with Du Yue this time seems to prove this point!
On the other side, Guardiola shook his head. This conceded the goal, it's a bit unlucky, but Southampton's luck in the first half of the season has not been very good, are they now extremely lucky?
But even so, we have to work hard to win something.
