Southampton's current performance is ups and downs, which is just a process of them adapting to the Premier League.
Noriya actually felt a little regretful at this time. When buying people, he only thought about characteristics and strength. Why didn't he think of poaching a few more veterans with Premier League experience?
But thinking about the current situation of Southampton at the time, it seems that this is the only way to do it. The newly promoted team is poaching veterans with Premier League experience to play the main force. However, the strength of the people Southampton can poach is really disappointing.
He doesn't have enough potential and doesn't meet Southampton's needs.
In the final analysis, it is the reason for the goal. If Southampton only pursues relegation, then buying a few Premier League veterans will of course have immediate results, but the subsequent development will be like this. Now Southampton has introduced Klose, who is older than Klose.
In addition, the others are all young players or players in their prime, so it is normal to have to pay the price of adapting to the Premier League.
Just like Vidal - such a mature attacking midfielder or core midfielder. If you want to buy him in the Premier League, how much will it cost?
It costs £18 million for Henderson to go to Liverpool.
Henderson is not yet a mature midfielder.
Nasri is 23 million.
A expired Parker is worth five million.
Vidal only cost Southampton 10 million pounds, which is simply a great value.
This is also the reason why Wenger did not like to buy local English players or Premier League players before. Because the Premier League has a good economy, their player premiums are also very serious.
Whether the judgment of one's own strength is accurate or not really depends on the next game before the decision can be made.
But it is obvious that Ji Ya's judgment in this regard is quite accurate.
After the FIFA match day, Ji Ya continued to arrange a relatively rotating semi-substitute lineup, goalkeeper Navas, defender Klein, Blind, Font, Kovac, midfielder Matuidi, Shi
However, in the away match against fellow newly promoted Norwich City, this lineup, which only had about half of the main lineup, dominated Norwich City throughout the game. Giroud has played fewer games this season, but his ability to seize opportunities has increased.
, he scored a goal in the game, and also helped Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin score a goal each. Coupled with Austin's icing on the cake, Southampton defeated Norwich 4-1 away from home.
Tied with sixth-placed Liverpool in points, and also relied on goal difference to suppress Liverpool!
Four days later, they defeated Bruges away from home - perhaps Giroud's performance stimulated him. Klose scored twice in this game to help Southampton defeat the Belgian team 2-0 away from home.
Won three consecutive victories.
With Braga and Maribor tied, Southampton's current advantage seems huge - they have scored nine points in the group stage, Braga only has four points, and Bruges has three.
points, Maribor only has one point.
If nothing else happens, it is only a matter of time before Southampton will qualify from this group.
The next victim to fall at Southampton's feet was Wolves.
The Wolves' performance at home was not bad. In the first half hour, Southampton's J. Ronaldo and Miroslav Klose each scored a goal. They exploded in the second half. Doyle and O'Hara were there.
They scored two goals to equalize the score within three minutes of the second half, and were about to end their embarrassing record of five consecutive losses. Unfortunately, in the remaining time, Southampton still suppressed them and continued to look for opportunities.
Vidal blocked Willian's cross from the back point. Before the end of the game, Vidal passed the ball and Willian formed a single shot to expand the lead.
4-2, Southampton has won three games in a row.
Although Southampton sent out a large number of substitutes, including young players, in the League Cup match in midweek and lost to Arsenal 1-2 away from home, no Southampton fans cared about this.
Of course the league and Europa League are even more important!
Looking back, they defeated Bolton, now ranked 18th, 3-1 at home. Ronaldo performed well and scored twice. Lovren received a corner kick and scored with a header. 3-1, Southampton scored four consecutive goals.
win.
In the tenth round of the league, after Southampton got over the initial discomfort, they have now scored a full 20 points, which has pushed them to the fifth position. The three strong teams of Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are just in the rankings.
Behind them, Chelsea has 19 points, Liverpool has 18 points, Arsenal has 16 points...
Currently ranked first is Manchester City, which has nine wins and one draw. Manchester United has declined in recent games and ranks second with 23 points. Tottenham and Newcastle both have 22 points. Southampton can finish with 2 points.
Ranking fifth at ten points is enough to prove that their performance so far is indeed very good.
"The team always has its good and bad times. Now that the league has only passed a quarter, it is not time to celebrate. I hope that at the end of the season, Southampton fans can rank Southampton.
and cheered from the heart.
Noriya said sincerely at the post-match press conference.
This is not because he deliberately wants to be modest, but he clearly knows that this wave of four consecutive victories has been against mid-to-lower teams. It is normal for Southampton to do this with its strength, and against strong teams.
Fights and tests are the tests that Southampton must go through, and some prices must be paid.
Sure enough, after sending out a large number of substitutes and drawing with Brugge at home, Southampton stopped their winning streak in the next round of the league. Aston Villa taught this team a lesson that they had learned in the League Cup.
I learned a good lesson right after I got promoted.
Although only three minutes into the game, Southampton passed a beautiful pass and Vidal scored in the penalty area to give Southampton the lead. However, Villa quickly relied on Darren Bent's forced breakthrough.
A shot equalized the score, and then the two sides reached a stalemate. No goals were scored in the first half. Aston Villa also withstood Southampton's onslaught through running and relatively intensive defense.
After the start of the second half, Southampton's offense still suppressed Aston Villa, but Villa's counterattack was quite exciting...
Agbonlahor's lightning-fast counterattack gave Aston Villa the lead. Ten minutes later, his counterattack broke through and scored, helping Bent score twice. As the captain of Aston Villa, Agbonlahor
Banglaho's performance in this game was top-notch.
Under such circumstances, Southampton still survived. In the following time, they launched a fierce attack. First, Klose received Willian's corner kick and scored a header to get one point back. Before the end,
Ronaldo shocked the world with a kick that helped Southampton equalize the score!
