Chapter 918 Return of the King's Mentality

In the next weekend's FA Cup fourth round match, Ji Ya sent all the substitutes. Their opponent is also a weak team, Accrington in League Two. Naturally, it is difficult for such a team to stop Southampton's attack. Offensively, Southampton's young players showed their skills and talents to the fullest. Sancho and Vinicius each made two passes and one shot. Alvarez scored twice. Southampton won the opponent [-]-[-] away. Into the fifth round of the FA Cup.

After winning this game, Southampton's opponent in the middle of the week is Crystal Palace. This London team is now ranked No.15, but in fact they only have 22 points, and Cardiff City, which is ranked [-]th, also has [-] points, so they The task of relegation is still very heavy.

It’s just that even in the first half of the season, facing Southampton who was not in good form, they also lost [-]-[-] at home. Now facing Southampton, who has recovered, it is in Southampton At home, it is very difficult for them to win.

In this game, Ji Ya continued to send some substitute players as a mix, but the two core players, Du Yue and De Bruyne, still started collectively. Crystal Palace sent a three-forward lineup in the away game. Zaha, Ayew and Townsend formed the three strikers. Benteke's state has declined sharply now, and he will not be able to play the main force in the Crystal Palace.

After lamenting that the speed of this kid's degeneration is almost the speed of light, Ji Ya didn't care too much. He didn't have much affection for Benteke. This kid was lucky to win a Premier League title in his first season in Southampton. The top scorer, and then trembled, determined to go to the rich, and always felt that Southampton was sorry for him. Such a player Ji Ya would not have any feelings.

No matter what he looks like now, it has nothing to do with Ji Ya.

Crystal Palace is still playing very tenaciously in the away game. With three forwards, it can be seen that this team still has some ideas. Maybe it is because these mid-range teams have recently seen that the old methods of fighting and interfering in the midfield are useless, so they simply go all out. Play against each other and see if you can bite off a few pieces of meat from Southampton.

We must know that the current financial resources of the Premier League teams are not bad, and they can buy a few pretty good players with a lot of money. Crystal Palace is no exception. Of course, he didn't get many opportunities at Manchester United, but after returning to Crystal Palace, he is still the outstanding ball king.

He is fast and has good dribbling skills. He is a typical winger. In the Premier League, players with speed and technology can often show great lethality in the game!

After the two sides fought against each other for a while, it was Zaha who scored the first goal for Crystal Palace after a series of breakthroughs from the wing in the first half.

Hundreds of Crystal Palace fans from afar gave out huge cheers. They celebrated this goal, hoping to bring back points in the away game and gain more weight for relegation this season!

It is a pity that for the Southampton players, all they want now is victory.

This conceded goal will not cause them any setbacks, it will only make them play more calmly.

After the restart, Southampton continued to control the midfield and seemed to be attacking calmly.

This is also their characteristic, no matter when they are, they will not be too anxious.

But soon, Du Yue proved why he can improve so fast and why he can perform even better in the game.

It is because he always refuses to admit defeat, and always likes to compete with others in competitions!

Whatever way the opponent attacks, he will respond in the same way.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this. The main reason is that Du Yue has comprehensive skills. In addition to being able to grab points, his ability to break through and pass the ball is also quite good.

After the ball was suppressed, De Bruyne passed the ball to Du Yue on the side.

Du Yue takes the ball from the side, which has not actually made the Crystal Palace have too much vigilance. After all, the threat of Du Yue taking the ball from the side is much smaller.

However, soon, Du Yue started a forced breakthrough on the left side of the penalty area.

Facing the opponent's defensive defender, Du Yue first pretended to dribble the ball across, and then forcibly broke through near the bottom line.

Du Yue did these two feints quite quickly. He passed the opponent's defender and began to cut into the penalty area.

After cutting into the penalty area, he didn't cut towards the bottom line, but rushed towards the goal diagonally. It seemed that he was going to hit Huanglong after breaking through just like Zaha just now!

Such an action immediately caused a rebound from the opponent. Sacco and another defender rushed towards Du Yue at the same time, not wanting him to score the goal so easily.

However, Du Yue made an emergency stop, pulled the ball back, then raised his foot, and passed the ball back to the top of the penalty area...

Grealish, who followed up in that position, took a left-footed shot without stopping the ball and hit the ball into the dead corner of the goal!

"The goal is scored! Du Yue's assist, Grealish's goal! Du Yue's breakthrough just now made everyone think that he was going to force a breakthrough and shoot, but after attracting enough attention, he turned The ball was passed! Grealish's shot was not interfered with!"

Amid the narrator's shouts, Grealish pointed at Du Yue, and then ran over. Du Yue laughed and hugged him with open arms.

Although it was just an equalizer, for Southampton, an equalizer is the only way for them to continue to take the lead.

Don't get too excited, it's just routine.

This kind of mentality is enough to prove that in addition to the successful running-in of tactics, Southampton's mentality has also returned to the previous king's mentality that swept the world!

Even if the opponent occasionally gains an advantage, they will not waver in any way, and they will not feel that there is any problem with their performance.

With such a mentality, even if Crystal Palace wants to rise up, it is difficult to shake Southampton's ability.

After the equalizer, Southampton continued to control the midfield, and the opponent's offense could not affect them. Even if Zaha continued to take the ball and break through, it would be difficult for Southampton to block and confront. Find another opportunity.

On the contrary, Southampton's offense began to threaten the gate of Crystal Palace wave after wave.

Vardy's shot hit the opponent's defender and bounced off the bottom line. De Bruyne took a corner kick and the ball flew quickly to the back point. Vardy, who jumped from the back point, rushed to the top under the cover of Maguire and hit the ball. Into the near corner of the goal, two to one, Southampton overtook the score.

Just 2 minutes later, Dericht sent a precise long pass over the top in the backcourt. Du Yue, who went forward, unloaded the ball and broke into the penalty area. He calmly pushed the far corner and scored, [-] to [-].

Only in the first half, Southampton established the victory!
