Blackburn's performance this season is very poor. They have only scored ten points. Although they are ranked 18th, Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic, who are at the bottom, both have nine points...
If their results continue like this, they may be relegated.
So in this game, they also fought very hard.
After all, Southampton has played against Manchester United and Liverpool in succession, so their form may have declined. This is also a good opportunity for them.
However, although Southampton faced two strong teams in a row, their state not only did not decline, but actually improved!
Blackburn performed very hard in this game. When the two sides struggled for 20 minutes, they created an opportunity on the wing and then passed it into the penalty area. Forward Jakub jumped in front of Lovren and scored!
However, Southampton soon equalized the score through a smooth attack. Vidal passed to Klein who was assisting. Klein passed straight to the middle. After receiving the ball, Klose immediately passed the ball to Ronaldo.
Then he turned around and ran into the penalty area. Ronaldo passed the ball diagonally to the back of the penalty area without stopping. William, who followed up, also didn't stop the ball and directly hit the middle. Klose, who happened to be in place, easily took off a kick and equalized.
score!
The fans of the home team also had to applaud this extremely smooth goal - five consecutive passes, and the attack was completed from the midfield to the penalty area, directly emptying Blackburn's defense!
In the past, only Arsenal could often achieve this kind of smooth passing and scoring, and other teams, even Manchester United, could rarely achieve it.
"Southampton did play wonderfully. Compared with Arsenal, their passing was cleaner and cleaner. Jiya's overall tactical level is indeed very strong. Although he is very young, I don't think anyone can underestimate him.
Got it!"
After equalizing the score, Southampton's offense played more smoothly. Before the end of the first half, after another series of passes, Ronaldo passed the ball and Klein, who advanced to assist, poked a shot in the small penalty area, scoring his goal this season.
The first official goal.
Klein was also excited to run on the court. He has been the main player since joining Southampton last season, but he scored very few goals. He was also very happy to have such a goal.
As a full-back with excellent assist ability, he feels the deepest about the level of the wingers in front. In his opinion, William is not as fast as Chamberlain, but he is much more mature in technique and handling of the ball. He often cooperates and passes.
The ball made him feel very comfortable playing it.
After the start of the second half, Southampton's offense began to become more active. Ronaldo forced a breakthrough and shot, but was barely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Vidal, who followed up, made a supplementary shot in the penalty area to expand the score to three to one. Soon
Afterwards, William broke through and created a corner kick, and then he personally took the corner kick into the penalty area. Wundt followed up and scored with a header, expanding the score to four to one...
Blackburn didn't get a penalty until the end. Jakub scored twice, but they still couldn't reverse their five-game winless streak!
A week later, in the fifteenth round of the league, Southampton played at home against mid-table Fulham. Giroud, who played in the rotation in this game, performed well. He received passes from Vidal and James Ronaldo and then scored. Southampton
London defeated Fulham with two goals at home and won two consecutive games.
From this perspective...although Southampton's players have never played in the Premier League, their mental endurance is still very good.
