Sitting on the coaching bench, Noriya felt as if he had overlooked something.
However, he couldn't remember what he had overlooked, so Noriya stopped thinking about it and waited for the game to start.
Millwall head coach Mr. Kenny Jackett, who was in the away team's coaching bench, looked at the home team's coaching bench with some annoyance. According to the tradition of the English League, the two coaches should shake hands and exchange greetings before the start of the game. As a young player, Noriya
The head coach, and the head coach of the home team, should take the initiative to come and say hello to him, but after Ji Ya finished pretending to be cool, he sat down and left him there...
This is really an annoying thing!
But he can't say anything because of this matter. After all, tradition is just tradition, not rules and regulations. Many coaches do not abide by such traditions, especially those coaches who have a bad relationship. It is very common for coaches not to look at each other before the game starts.
of.
Ji Ya didn't come to say hello, and he couldn't pick out the courtesy.
So he can only sulk and hope that his team can give Southampton a good look on the court!
He still has confidence in this.
Millwall is undoubtedly a strong team in the English League One. It has performed well since being relegated and was only one step away from being promoted last season. Although Southampton is a team from the English Championship, it has not been able to perform well in the English League for two consecutive seasons.
The championship and relegation have long since wiped out their ambitions as a former Premier League team.
In addition, the opponent's new head coach has just coached the team, and the team's level of integration is definitely not enough.
This is Millwall's opportunity!
Millwall, who have never lacked a tough attitude, launched a crazy press at the beginning of the game, hoping to turn the tables and give Southampton a good look.
"As expected, he pressed us when he came up... But such a pressing is of no use against us who have superior foot skills." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
Noriya, who had worked hard before the game, at least knew one thing, that is, the technical ability of Southampton's players was generally good.
This is because Southampton has always paid great attention to foot skills in its youth training. There are almost no players from Southampton who have poor foot skills - this is also the reason why Southampton's youth training is unique.
The newly joined players actually have good foot skills. As a Croatian defender, Lovren, in addition to being excellent in confrontation, has good basic skills in taking the ball and passing the ball. This is also a characteristic of Eastern European players. Lambert can see from his resume
, it is easy for people to think that he is a typical coolie center from England's lower leagues, but in fact this is not the case. Instead, he is a forward with relatively good foot skills.
As for Giroud... As a Frenchman, his skills may not be flashy enough, but they are useful enough.
So when facing Millwall's pressing, Southampton's players were not greatly affected.
They kept passing the ball in the backcourt. Although Millwall's pressing was fierce, it was not the top pressing level. It relied purely on momentum and running - if they could really press step by step and let the opponent pass the ball
If they can't play it out, they won't be in League One.
Seeing that Southampton's pass was not affected, Millwall pressed for a while and then slowly subsided.
However, when they slowed down, Southampton suddenly launched an attack!
Lallana received the ball at the back, and seeing that no one was coming to press him, he decisively dribbled the ball forward!
Lallana's technique and forward ability are both good. This time, he broke through the midfield.
Seeing him moving forward with great momentum, Millwall's two defensive midfielders immediately pressed forward.
However, Lallana did not continue to dribble the ball forward. Instead, he raised his foot and pushed the ball straight forward!
Giroud picked up the ball with his back and carried the opponent's defender. When he saw Lambert coming up, he raised his foot and passed the ball sideways.
Lambert caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and then he raised his right foot...
Alan Dunn, who rushed out of the penalty area, could only raise his feet to block Lambert's shot.
As an experienced old guard, he certainly knew that Lambert might be feinting, but at the line of the penalty area, Lambert's shot was also very threatening!
Sure enough, the next moment Lambert dunked the ball, then changed direction and entered the penalty area!
Dunn, who was well prepared, pressed forward, but Dunn, who is only 1.78 meters tall, looked smaller than Lambert!
Originally, the height of Millwall's defense was pretty good. Although Dunn was only 1.78 meters tall, he had rich experience and accurate positioning. When paired with Robinson, who was 1.9 meters tall and was playing, generally speaking, he would encounter
No striker is afraid.
It's a pity that Robinson was attracted by Giroud just now, and Dunn, who has old arms and legs, can only forcefully stick to him.
Lambert, who is nearly ten centimeters taller, was not disturbed by Dunn's close defense. After breaking into the penalty area, Lambert raised his right foot again. Dunn struggled to stretch his foot to block it, but Lambert passed the ball horizontally.
He dialed it, dodged Dunn's final defense, and then took off his right foot and shot the ball hard!
Before Millwall's Irish goalkeeper Forde could fall to the ground, the ball had already hit the ground and flew into the goal!
For Ford, who is 1.9 meters tall, he fell to the ground a little slowly...
St. Mary's Stadium immediately erupted in huge cheers!
The first goal of the season came so quickly!
Lambert ran on the field with his arms open and scored a goal in his first game after joining Southampton. This is a perfect start for a newcomer!
More than 10,000 Southampton fans shouted wildly. Although they were not too satisfied with the club, they were the real hardcore who would choose to support the club at this time. After seeing this ball, they felt that they
Got the best return!
"In just five minutes, Southampton took the lead in scoring! The fans are very happy, let's see how their new owner and new head coach Noriya reacts... This young owner and coach is in
Before the game started, there were two very handsome double volley kicks and two beautiful hand knives! Do Chinese people really know kung fu? Will he do a front flip or something to celebrate..."
As soon as the Sky Sports commentator said this, he immediately stopped because he was shocked to see that while all the players and coaches on the Southampton bench were hugging each other, Ji Ya was sitting on his own coldly.
In his position, his face was serious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised...
"What a calm young man! Unexpectedly, Ji Ya remained absolutely calm when he scored the first goal! It seems that in his eyes, such a goal does not need to be celebrated, it is just childish...
..." the commentator said, half surprised and half admiring.
