"Do you see? This is the performance of the top genius... Rossi may not be the top player, but he is indeed a genius, otherwise he would not have been spotted by Manchester United and Ferguson at the age of sixteen.
He made his debut in the Premier League at the age of sixteen... Of course, his performance later was not as good as expected because of various other reasons rather than his limited strength. Now he has finally found a place where he can perform and produce
We have improved our own strength... In fact, we should be happy about this, because we are really starting to encounter some tests. A top player showed their highest level when facing us."
Noriya said in the locker room. The locker room is very quiet now. It is true that Southampton lacks such experience, not only the experience of facing rampant top players, but also the experience of facing such dangerous situations.
In the play-offs last season, Southampton was also in danger for a time, but that was because of the danger caused by the absence of the main players, and the game itself did not have much twists and turns.
Now if Southampton continues like this, they will really be eliminated...
"Don't think too much. The performance just now was Rossi's own extraordinary performance. It is difficult for even top players to maintain this kind of performance. We were unlucky when we encountered it, but people always have bad luck.
As long as we continue to work hard, there is always a chance to reverse all this... Do you understand? In the second half, we continued to play at our pace. Our running and suppression made Villarreal uncomfortable, but they were more lucky.
It's just two goals ahead. If we continue, we will definitely win."
The players nodded one after another. Although Ji Ya's words were just a joke, everyone on the court could also feel that it was really difficult for Villarreal to support him.
Then there is nothing more to say, just keep running, keep attacking, and gradually establish their advantages!
"Henrik, Morgan, you two may have a chance to play later in the second half." Ji Ya said hello to Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin after everyone else left.
The two nodded at the same time, no one wanted to play, but they also knew that in this situation, of course, the best thing to do was put the interests of the team first.
After patting the two of them on the shoulders, Ji Ya walked out of the locker room.
When Noriya appeared on the sidelines again, Southampton fans began to greet him with warm applause - this was Southampton fans' action to express their support for Noriya and the club. Even if the situation is a bit dangerous now, we still
I will definitely continue to support you!
It has to be said that under such circumstances, the support of fans may seem illusory, but it can still bring huge benefits.
After the start of the second half, Southampton players continued the rhythm of running and confrontation in the first half. They did not speed up or slow down, and continued to maintain calmness and continuous performance.
This kind of performance is very important - after all, if the speed is suddenly accelerated, the other party may not be able to adapt, but they themselves will first suffer huge interference and unnecessary consumption.
In competition, calmness is often more useful than impulsiveness.
The two forwards are also constantly running in the penalty area, confronting the opponent's defenders - Villarreal's two center backs are average in height and confrontation, which is also a relatively obvious advantage of Southampton.
The cheers in the stands never stopped, which also gave Southampton players more courage and fighting spirit.
Lambert began to run more actively on the court. In addition to looking for opportunities in the penalty area, he also continued to pull out of the penalty area to respond.
This gave Villarreal's defenders a headache. They didn't dare to let Lambert go, nor did they dare to focus too much on him and cause problems elsewhere, so they could only gradually withdraw and reduce the risk.
Gaps in the defense.
Lambert is in really good shape.
Under the opponent's focus, he still created a good opportunity.
Chamberlain forced a breakthrough from the wing, and then passed it to Lambert who was on the right side of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Lambert forcibly turned around and broke through!
Using his body, Lambert overwhelmed Marchena, forced his way into the penalty area, and then took a shot!
Marchena is also an experienced defender. Knowing that his body could not compete with Lambert, he quickly chose to defend and then completed a beautiful block when Lambert shot!
The ball hit Marchena and bounced back to Lambert's feet. Lambert regained control of the ball, but the shooting angle was no longer available. Lambert did not hesitate at all, quickly turned around and passed the ball.
go back!
He didn't see if there were any teammates at the position where he passed the ball, but he knew that during normal training, there would be someone at that position to respond!
This tacit understanding led to a key goal.
Lallana appeared at the landing point of the ball. Facing the rolling ball, he directly raised his right foot while running and shot!
The ball quickly changed direction and plunged into the dead center of the goal! Diego Lopez stood in front of the goal in a daze, not even reacting...
After Lallana saw the ball flying into the goal, he immediately turned around and rushed out. However, he was quickly grabbed by Chamberlain who ran over. Lallana fell to the ground, and the other Southampton players fell to the ground.
Pounced on him and pinned him down...
Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously. With this ball, Southampton can play more calmly next!
Southampton's players did not celebrate for too long. They quickly returned to the state of the game, and then continued to press and run against each other in the midfield!
Villarreal relies on the personal abilities of several technical players to support itself.
This kind of support did not last long.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Chamberlain's breakthrough created a corner kick. Lallana took the corner kick. The two central defenders completed a beautiful cooperation. Lovren nodded the ball in front and followed up.
Wundt scored with a header!
"Southampton has completed the reversal! They are full of momentum! Now the total score has become six to five. Southampton is leading again, but Villarreal still has a chance. If they score another one, the total score will be
It's a draw... which is actually quite good for Villarreal."
The commentators evaluated the current situation on the field, and the Southampton fans in front of the TV cursed one after another, feeling that the commentators were simply crow-mouthed...
"Do you want to start defending?" Benali asked Noriya.
Ji Ya was a little hesitant.
In the current situation, it is of course easy to start a defense, but if you start a defense with only a one-goal lead, can you really defend until the end of the game?
Whether to kill the opponent in one go, or to be conservative and save some energy, this is a question...
