Chapter 921 Dortmund's tactics

After Southampton took the lead, the next game really started to go smoothly.

After all, for them, after taking the lead, they are very familiar with how the weak team will fight back and what routines they have.

Sure enough, in the next time, Cardiff City started a counterattack. They wanted to quickly equalize the score and then start defending. This is a very wise choice.

However, Southampton withstood their attack, while constantly waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

No.303 minutes, Southampton played a beautiful counterattack in the frontcourt. Chilwell went forward to assist, and Rodri, who also advanced forward, took the ball on the edge of the penalty area. Du Yue and others began to run in other positions , so that the players defending Rodri didn't dare to come up for a while, but Rodri raised his foot on the edge of the penalty area and kicked a curve ball. The ball flew into the sky and then fell quickly, flew over the goalkeeper's head, and plunged into the goal dead end!

Two to zero, Southampton extended its lead.

Just 3 minutes into the second half, Southampton once again expanded their lead. De Bruyne made a direct pass, and B Fee broke into the penalty area single-handedly, passing the goalkeeper and scoring.

It wasn't until the three-goal lead that Ji Ya began to make consecutive substitutions to let the main players take a rest. In the following time, although Cardiff City wanted to score a goal, they still failed to do so. In the end, with a score of zero to three, Lost away to Southampton.

Southampton has won seven consecutive victories!

Not only is it a seven-game winning streak, but they have not conceded a goal in the last two rounds. In these seven games, they have conceded a total of three goals. The offense is sharp and the defense is solid. Southampton's state is so good that the blind can see it .

The only thing that makes Southampton fans a little regretful is that Manchester City and Liverpool both won this round, and Manchester City even slaughtered Chelsea [-]-[-]. Just looking at the recent fiascos, everyone knows that Sarri’s dismissal should be a certainty something happened...

And Manchester City's performance in beating Arsenal and Chelsea successively in these two rounds also gave them more confidence.

"These guys are becoming more and more like kings. On the contrary, Liverpool has been a little tired recently, but no matter what, they will be our biggest opponents in the next one or two seasons." Ji Ya sighed to Bernard Lee said.

Benelli nodded, Ji Ya's words are actually nonsense, this point, basically everyone can see it...

Many people even think that the red and blue battle between Manchester City and Liverpool will be next, and Southampton may hardly affect their status.

In this regard, Southampton expressed their emotional stability. After all, under such circumstances, they need to focus more on the next Champions League game.

away to Dortmund.

For Dortmund fans, they are still quite satisfied with this season. They have certain advantages in the league, and they also successfully qualified in the group stage in the Champions League. Although it is very difficult for UEFA to send them to stop Southampton It's dissatisfaction, but Southampton's performance has been ups and downs this season, and they are not without opportunities.

After all, Dortmund is a team whose ancestors have been rich. Under such circumstances, their team can show sufficient confidence from top to bottom to deal with top opponents like Southampton.

After leading the whole team to Dortmund, Ji Ya did not wander around. He has been to Dortmund a lot over the years, and his players are not very interested in it.

Favre is an experienced coach. His experience and the use of young players have allowed Dortmund to perform quite well this season. Under his hands, Schmelzer, Piszczek, Kagawa Shinji, Shaheen These veterans gradually faded out of the main lineup and were replaced by a group of young players. Their fighting spirit and positive attitude made Dortmund's performance this season impressive.

However, facing a team like Southampton, Favre also knows that Dortmund lacks strong attacking ability, and it is still difficult to deal with Southampton's defense. It is more appropriate to recover the defense and use the speed of the frontcourt to counterattack. way of doing.

Although Dortmund's defense is young, their frontal defense ability is still quite good. Facing the impact of Southampton, they recover their defense and resist Southampton's attack. There is still a lot of hope.

And there are wingers with excellent personal abilities like Royce and Pulisic in the frontcourt. It will not be too difficult to find the flaws after the Southampton full-back assists.

This can be regarded as an old problem in Southampton's defense, but there is no way to solve it. To solve this problem, there may be bigger problems elsewhere, so Ji Ya would rather let this flaw stay there, anyway. The Southampton players are used to it too.

Time flies, and the day of the first round will come soon.

The Westfalenstadion is full of seats. This stadium can accommodate more than 8 fans in the Bundesliga. However, because many fans buy standing tickets, the capacity is reduced to more than 6 in the Champions League. People, but with the enthusiasm of Dortmund fans, they have kept Westfalen a top record for many years-full attendance!

Of course, Southampton has also created such a miracle in recent years.

When the players from both sides came out, there was a huge cheer from the stands.

Ji Ya was shaking hands with Favre at this time, and the cheers from the stands surprised him—although the record for the highest decibel in a European stadium was not created by Dortmund fans, it was created by them The fans of the arch-enemy Schalke [-] can always compete with the fans of Schalke [-], and the fanaticism of Dortmund fans is surprising enough.

But Favre didn't say much. The nearly 60-year-old coach didn't have too much temper. Instead, he seemed quite gentle. He exchanged a few words with Ji Ya, and then returned to his seat.

"It's an obvious defensive counterattack lineup...the only effective center, Paco, isn't even included." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

Indeed, although Dortmund sent a four-three-three lineup in this game, what is surprising is that the center they sent was Gotze...

Not to mention that Gotze has declined rapidly in recent years, he is no longer the genius boy he was back then, even back then, he was not a center forward.

"Using Gotze as a center forward is to give full play to his ability to transition and distribute the ball, and to create opportunities for the two wingers Royce and Pulisic to counterattack." Benali said.

Ji Ya nodded, this point can be seen by individuals, but it also proves that Dortmund is quite confident in its defensive counterattack ability!

"Then let's see if you can defend our attack." Ji Ya said to himself.
