Southampton began to be slightly more defensive in the following period.
However, their luck was not good, because shortly after the game restarted, Manchester United equalized the score with a slightly lucky attack.
Rooney retreated to get the ball, and then he was ready to take a long shot - his toe is very hard, but the long shot was blocked by Wundt who struggled to intercept with his legs, and the ball changed direction and flew into the penalty area.
, Hernandez happened to appear on the path of the ball. Facing the attacking Navas, he took the lead and poked the ball into the door from close range!
Southampton's players raised their hands to indicate that the little pea was offside, but the linesman did not raise the flag - later slow motion proved that this was a misjudgment, but at the moment when Rooney shot, Hernandez
It's just a little bit offside...
A world wave and a misjudgment turned into the final two goals of this game.
The final score was one to one, with each side getting one point.
Noriya was still satisfied with this point. After all, they did not lose against a top-ranked team. This was the first time. Winning against Arsenal before could not prove anything. At that time, Arsenal was in a trough.
Ferguson was very unhappy. In this way, it was easy for Manchester City to widen the gap...
But the season is still early, and for Ferguson, he will not be anxious so easily.
"Next time we play Manchester City, you have to perform better." Ferguson said when shaking hands after the game.
"I'll try my best." Ji Ya laughed.
At the press conference after the game, Noriya didn't say much. He just expressed that he was quite satisfied with the result of the game. Ferguson also said that he was quite satisfied. Although there was still a chance to win, Southampton's performance was indeed very poor.
Excellent, he is very optimistic that Southampton can hit the top four this year...
"Why not the champion?" Ji Ya asked.
"Because we want to win the championship." Ferguson said confidently.
The confidence shown by this old man and young man at the press conference left other reporters speechless. In fact, Ferguson has always been a very eloquent person who has a lot of witty words at press conferences, but his words this time were not what he said.
It’s not easy to follow them all...
After this game, Southampton went away to prepare to challenge Liverpool. This round of the game also attracted a lot of attention.
Lallana and Lambert have performed very well since joining Liverpool this season. After all, they both play properly, and Liverpool also needs an attacking midfielder and a forward with height and skills to match Suarez.
Liverpool's performance this season is not particularly outstanding, but it is okay. Newly joined players such as Henderson can cooperate well with Gerrard. Lallana and Lambert are not slow to integrate into the team. Now they
Scored 22 points, tied for fifth place - but there are a lot of teams with 22 points. In addition to them, Arsenal, who have recently won consecutively, also reached 22 points, and Chelsea also scored 22 points. The same
, Southampton also has 22 points...
There are four teams crowded into this position, and the standings look very confusing.
In this game, captain Gerrard was injured and unable to play, so Grealish sent out a 433 lineup, with Henderson, Lucas and Lallana partnering in the center, Kuyt as a winger, Lambert and Suarez.
Sri Lanka partners up front.
Such a lineup is obviously a little stuck in the middle. Although their two full-backs, Glen Johnson and Jose Enrique, have good assist abilities, they still cannot support the offense well from the wing.
It made Southampton look relatively relaxed when defending, but they still did a good job in defense. The center back partnership of Stekel and Agger was quite stable, and Henderson and others also did a good job in protecting the penalty area.
Quite good.
In the end, the game ended 0-0, and Southampton suffered two consecutive draws.
"Well done, good job at Liverpool."
After the game, Ji Ya went to hug Lambert and Lallana. To be honest, Ji Ya was not happy about selling these two people, but they wanted to leave at that time, and Liverpool provided money...
So, let’s get together and part ways.
Ji Ya's current thoughts are on the current team. There are also many outstanding players in Southampton now, and these people's joining is spent on the income cashed out from Lallana and the others...
This is also a virtuous cycle!
"Facing two giant teams in a row, we withstood their pressure, which makes me feel happy. We are a young team, and none of the players have even had the experience of playing in the Premier League before, so we will
I have made many mistakes and taken many detours, but one thing I firmly believe is that our players are very good. All they need is to adapt to the current game... Although the league has only passed thirteen rounds,
We have basically met all the strong teams. Only Tottenham and Newcastle have not played against us. Under such circumstances, I think we have also proved our level. Next, it should be a good opportunity for us to launch an attack.
.”
Noriya expressed his attitude at the press conference. This passage was also considered a declaration for Southampton to launch an attack this season - it was after that that Southampton began to behave more and more like a
A strong team!
In the midweek game, Southampton once again sent out most of their substitutes and won a draw in the away game, which brought their points to 11 points. Now Braga only has eight points and Bruges has only seven.
points, with the last round of the group stage left, Southampton not only won the right to qualify in advance, but also won the first place in this group in advance.
No one at Southampton is surprised by this. After winning three consecutive victories, Southampton's focus has shifted from the Europa League to the league.
In the next period of time, there will be no League Cup games, and the third round of the FA Cup will not kick off until next year. Southampton can completely focus on the league!
They have withstood the test and recovered, and no strong team can hinder them. Their goal is to score as many points as possible in the following time.
Although Noriya's words at the press conference were not stated clearly, his attitude was very obvious. Although this attitude seems a bit arrogant, look at their 29 goals in 13 games, which is only 43 goals.
He has less offensive ability than Manchester City who scored 30 goals and Manchester United who scored 30 goals. Who can say that he is really arrogant?
