So he chose a relatively safe approach, which was to maintain the rhythm on the court first.
Anyway, there is no problem with the physical fitness of the players on the field. Now they are playing in the league as well as the warm-up matches. I don’t know how well the physical fitness and condition are maintained.
Continuing is also a good choice.
In the following time, the two sides began to quarrel on the court, and time passed by. In the eyes of Southampton fans, victory was only a matter of time...
However, Villarreal will never surrender.
They are different from Napoli and Leverkusen.
Naples was second in Serie A at the time, entangled with AC Milan, who was first, and had to face AC Milan on the weekend. Mazzarri and the players were focused on the league.
Leverkusen's situation is similar. In short, they also want to fight for the championship. Compared with the league championship, the Europa League is really nothing. The main players will return to the main players, but they will not fight to the end, let alone fight hard.
Light all the bullets.
Villarreal is different from them. They are currently ranked fourth in La Liga. It is impossible to lose the championship to fifth place. They can fight to the end in the Europa League.
Rossi dropped back again and then completed a beautiful pass in the midfield!
The forward Carney received the ball at the front of the penalty area - this was something Southampton's defense did not expect. After all, Villarreal's offense mainly consists of two forwards, Cazorla and Valero...
Carney's role is to balance the midfield, not to push forward.
So this time he thrust forward, it seemed very deadly.
After receiving Rossi's pass, Carney decisively shot the ball. The ball roared towards the goal. Navas made a wonderful save and flew to block the ball back into the penalty area!
After passing the ball, Rossi kept running forward, which allowed him to receive the ball immediately. Before Wundt had time to clear the ball, he shot directly in the air!
This shot was actually very difficult. There were interferences from Lovren and Wundt nearby, and the ball flew out irregularly. He had no time to adjust, but he still took the shot immediately and scored the ball.
The goal is dead center!
Navas, who was lying on the ground, failed to make a save. Jenkinson, who returned to defend in front of the goal, stretched out his foot to block it, but was also a step too slow!
"Hat-trick! Rossi's twelfth goal in the Europa League! This puts him at the top of the scorer list! What an outstanding performance! Southampton's defense cannot be said to be bad, but it was still beaten by Rossi.
I got three in my breath!"
Rossi opened his arms and ran towards the visiting team's stands. At this moment, he used his performance to keep Villarreal's last hope of promotion!
"What an outstanding guy." Ji Ya shook his head.
Although strictly speaking, these three goals only have one goal in a sports match, but in any case, being able to score three goals is enough to show his excellence.
But now the total score is just even...
"Get ready to play." Noriya said to Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin.
When these two people stood on the sidelines, huge cheers rang out from the stands. Ji Ya's substitution proved that he still just wanted to win!
As for whether he will concede a goal and lose the away goal advantage, he doesn't care.
Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin came on, but Lallana remained on the court.
The two of them replaced Drinkwater and Dembélé.
Although Schneiderlin is also a defensive midfielder and his defensive ability is not bad, such a substitution will undoubtedly weaken the defense of the midfield!
What Noriya wants is to attack.
And Schneiderlin is different from Drinkwater. His ability to intercept lateral runs is very good. When he comes on the court, Southampton's midfielder is not as defensive as it seems.
Rossi's outstanding performance will certainly inspire the fighting spirit of Southampton players.
There are at least two people who don't think they are worse than Rossi.
The first is Chamberlain - he is very confident in his speed and skills. Seeing Rossi constantly breaking through and creating opportunities, he felt that he should stand up.
The other one is Lambert. Although he did not score a goal in this game, he helped his teammates score more goals by pulling him.
So he felt he should stand up.
Chamberlain dropped back to get the ball.
Originally, Mkhitaryan planned to break through by himself after receiving the ball. Seeing Chamberlain's eager look, Mkhitaryan immediately passed the ball out.
I just came on the field and my breakthrough state has not yet been stimulated, so I should leave it to Chamberlain first.
Chamberlain caught the ball, turned around, faced the old Spanish international Capdevila who came up to mark him, first made a horizontal spiking action, and then suddenly spiked the ball to the side, forcing a breakthrough!
Capdevila's reaction was a bit slow, and he was indeed a bit old, so Chamberlain broke through directly.
After the breakthrough, Chamberlain began to dribble the ball along the wing. Capdevila began to defend. Chamberlain made an emergency stop and pulled the ball back, causing Capdevila to stretch his feet, but he spiked the ball back laterally.
breakthrough!
Capdevila was once again broken through - although he is also a veteran Spanish international and a member of the World Cup champion team, but on the field, these names are useless. Old players often have to watch young juniors show their teeth in front of them.
.
Breaking through Capdevila's defense, Chamberlain broke into the penalty area. Before Marchena came to defend, he suddenly took off and shot hard close to the corner of the small penalty area!
The ball flew backwards with a roar. Lopez stretched his arms but failed to touch the ball. However, the next moment, the ball hit the crossbar hard!
There was a huge sigh from the stands!
However, just before the sigh subsided, a figure jumped in front of everyone, faced the flying ball, and swung his head towards the goal!
The ball flew into the goal quickly!
The sigh instantly turned into a huge cheer!
"The ball went in! Lambert! Lambert! The great Southampton shooter! A buzzer beater! His goal in the 89th minute gave Southampton the lead again! This is a standard buzzer beater.
!The game will no longer be in suspense! With both sides already starting to prepare for overtime, Lambert’s goal is worth a thousand dollars!”
After landing, Lambert confirmed that the ball had indeed gone in, and then rushed to the sideline.
He started roaring crazily - although he only scored one goal in this game, there was no doubt that this was a goal that sealed the victory!
In front of this goal, Rossi's hat trick can only look bleak!
"We persisted until the end. This is a physical victory!"
Ji Ya also hugged Benelli, he waved his fist towards the stands and shouted loudly.
