Chapter 27 I finally have the appearance of a professional coach

However, this draw did not affect Southampton's results. In the next week, Southampton defeated No. 9 Odham and No. 3 Milton Keynes in the next week with the same two three-to-one!

Whether it is home or away, no matter whether the opponent ranks ninth or third, Southampton's offensive line is invincible!

The league won seven games in a row, and Kiya's achievement points were also skyrocketing. For each additional game, there were five more achievement points, and his achievement points suddenly increased to thirty-nine.

In addition, he won the first coach's personal honor - the best coach in the month of the League One, and now he has forty-four achievements.

However, Kiya was not in a hurry to increase his tactical ability now. He felt that his tactical ability was temporarily enough, so it would be better to proceed step by step.

After rushing their winning streak to seven consecutive victories, the league just passed fourteen rounds, and Southampton played very well in the first seven rounds, but after these seven consecutive victories, their points successfully reached 18 points, which made them ranked 13th, leading the relegation zone by five points, and only four points away from the top six upgrade zone.

Southampton fans couldn't help but sigh, if there were no points deductions...

If there is no deduction, their points will now be twenty-eight points. This score can rank third, only one point behind second-rank Charlton and five points behind first-rank Leeds United.

Judging from Southampton's current momentum, it may be hard to say that it will hit the top two, but it seems that it is not difficult to reach the top six and get a playoff spot.

Of course, there are still thirty-two rounds of the league. It is too early to say anything now. Only by playing one game is the king.

Kiya also knew this, so when he defeated Milton Keynes, who ranked third at home, he hid the outstanding performance of Mkhitaryan and prepared for the fourth round of the League Cup.

Southampton's opponent is another Premier League team - Aston Villa, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. From this perspective, Southampton's draw of lottery is not bad, but not very good. After all, even if it reaches the top 16 in the League Cup, in addition to Southampton, there are also low-level teams such as Scanthorp, Petersburg United, and Barnsley. As a result, except for Southampton's encounter with Northampton in the first round of the League Two, the next Premier League teams are all Premier League teams, and they can't be said to be lucky.

However, they can always meet mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League, rather than strong teams, or even better mid-level teams such as Everton, Newcastle, and West Ham United, so they are really lucky.

Kiya was also satisfied with the draw result of this. He never thought of winning the League Cup. After all, it was still a bit difficult to win. He just wanted to train more young players he was optimistic about in the League Cup. These young players are of good quality, but lack experience with strong teams. Whether it is Larana, Giroud or Mkhitaryan, it seems particularly obvious in this regard.

So when encountering Premier League relegation teams, such as Birmingham, Sunderland, and Aston Villa, they have good training opportunities for them. They basically encounter some old foxes in the Premier League. These people are experienced and skilled, but they are not really top players, so they will not lose confidence when they meet too strong opponents.

Moreover, there are often some players in the opponent who Kiya thinks are good, such as the young midfielder Henderson of the opponent when he was against Sunderland in the last round. Although he was only twenty years old, he had already played the main player in Sunderland. Pay attention to such players and have hope to win after Southampton is upgraded.

Of course, it's useless to think about it now. He played in the Premier League at the age of 20, so who would still like the English League One team?

Only players in the minor leagues like Mkhitaryan Lovren would join Southampton as an international player. Anyone who had a Premier League relegation team competed with Southampton at that time, Southampton would not win.

A young local like Henderson played in the Premier League early on, and it would be difficult for Southampton to dig. Two years later, Southampton became the Premier League team and Henderson would be twenty-two. By then, either Henderson had grown to the point where Southampton could not afford it, or it was just ordinary and Kiya would never look down on it anymore.

Kiya is very open-minded about this. No club can introduce all good players. Besides, he has achieved something and the store is in his hands. At least he will not have any problems with buying people. Not only is the people he buys, but he can at least be worth the money. This is actually a very big advantage.

For any club, the most troublesome thing may be to buy players that are not suitable for their team. Such unsuitability almost often occurs. In a summer operation, there are often easy to use, difficult to use, and completely unsuitable... In this process, the club's resources are greatly wasted.

And this kind of waste is inevitable.

However, it can be avoided here in Kiya. So what else can I say? This is an extremely huge advantage!

However, Aston Villa's performance this season does not seem to be a mid- and downstream team.

After ten rounds of the Premier League, Aston Villa ranked seventh and won five games, second only to Manchester City's two bests, London's three bests and Liverpool, and looks like a mid-range team.

"It's just a good start, Sunderland is still ranked eighth now," Benalli said.

The others laughed, yes, Sandro, who was defeated by them before, was one point less than Aston Villa, and ranked eighth. These two relegation teams performed well this season, only Birmingham was ranked fifteenth, and began relegation at the beginning of the season.

"Yes, to defeat a strong enemy, you need a good tactical arrangement and understanding of your opponent... Villa can rank so high now, not only luck, but also have a high level of victory. They beat Chelsea and Liverpool and tied Manchester City... But accordingly, they also lost to Wigan Athletics, Blackburn and West Ham United, and tied Wolves. They may have performed unstablely, and there may be other reasons, and these reasons must be understood from the specific details of their game."

Kiya started talking freely, and the assistant coaches looked at Kiya with emotion. When he was a coach, Kiya was just a rookie in other places except for an excellent training plan and could not do anything. But now... he finally looks like a professional coach.

The future of Southampton...is bright!
Chapter completed!
