Chapter 158 Don't Buy People in Winter

Ji Ya finally figured it out.

There is no stable scorer, but the kind of scorer who can stably bring about twenty league goals is inherently worth a lot of money.

The vast majority of teams still rely on multiple people to score points to support the team, even a strong team like Manchester United.

The kind of scorer who can bring a lot of goals...the best you can cultivate yourself. If you can't train him, you can only scratch the lottery ticket. You can't spend 40 to 50 million to buy a top scorer. Southampton doesn't have the luxury.

to this point.

With these 50 to 60 million, we should pay off the debt first to avoid paying millions more in interest every year.

On December 28, the last game of the year and the last game of the first cycle, Southampton tied with Tottenham at home. In this game, Tottenham’s midfielder

The core Modric controlled the midfield, and then constantly mobilized the team's performance through his own passes. Bell and right back Walker on both wings continued to impact Southampton's defense with speed, making Southampton's defense withstand the pressure.

A huge test.

Walker has officially become Tottenham's main force this season. His speed, impact and strong body make him a duck to water in Tottenham's game system. Therefore, even though wingers like Lennon are no longer available, Tottenham's

The right wing still has outstanding speed.

However, Tottenham, who created many opportunities, faced the same embarrassing problem - that is, they did not have a main scorer.

A striker combination like Defoe and Adebayor is indeed a bit shabby among wealthy clubs.

Adebayor was an outstanding striker before, but his various actions have made his condition far worse than before. Defoe is just a Premier League veteran and not an outstanding striker.

So they waited until the end of the first half to score first with Van der Vaart's irregular shot in the penalty area. Southampton, who recovered in the second half, in turn suppressed Tottenham. Old Redkner

Pu was forced to replace Joel Luca and Sandro to strengthen the defense. However, in the 81st minute of the game, William forced a breakthrough from the wing and passed the ball. Dembele, who penetrated into the penalty area, shot hard and scored for Nan'an.

Puton equalized the score.

The final score of this game was one to one, which made the commentators sigh - if the offenses of both sides could be better, how many goals would have been scored in this game.

You must know that both sides took more than 20 shots in this game, but only scored one goal.

Tottenham lacks stable scoring points, and so does Southampton.

Although these words seem to have raised Southampton to a position on par with Tottenham, it is not an exaggeration.

After all, after nineteen rounds, Southampton was ranked fourth with 37 points from ten wins, seven draws and two losses - this time it was not tied for fourth, but occupying the fourth position alone! Manchester City and

Manchester United's current score is 45 points. Ferguson's ability to lead the team is really amazing. Such a huge disadvantage has been equalized abruptly. Tottenham scored 42 points, if they had not been sniped by Southampton.

Let's take a look, maybe it's 44 points now.

Arsenal is catching up and ranks fifth with 36 points. Chelsea and Liverpool both have 34 points and are tied for sixth.

Further down is Newcastle, who once occupied the top three positions. They now only have 30 points, and the gap between them and the top seven has gradually widened.

"After halfway through the schedule, the big6 teams were ranked in front. This was no longer surprising, but there was a newly promoted team among them, which was surprising... Southampton

! They are now ranked fourth and have qualified from the Europa League group stage! Such a performance is enough to make people applaud!"

The English media praised Southampton a lot during the half-time review, but again, Southampton scored two points in the first three games, and it was surprising that Southampton could perform so well later.

According to their current performance, even if there is a decline in the second half of the season, at least relegation will not be a problem, and it will not be difficult to enter the European competition.

"Stop joking, we are going for the championship!" Many Southampton fans shouted, waving their fists.

Of course, when they shouted like this, they were all drunk...

Whenever there is a plate of peanuts, they will not be so arrogant.

Because their performance in the first half of the season proved that Southampton is indeed very good, but compared with strong teams, they were not stable enough to grab points in the first place, and their results against strong teams in the second time were not good either.

Lost to Manchester City, Chelsea, tied with Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, won against Arsenal.

Although it seemed that they still won a game, considering that Arsenal was unable to play at that time with seven main players and important substitutes, which could be said to be the weakest time, this victory could not mean anything.

If it hadn't happened to encounter a weak Arsenal, Southampton's record against strong teams would have been zero wins.

So I can’t think about championships or anything like that right now!

If the club can buy a top striker back during the winter transfer period, then they can still think about it.

Now even ordinary fans know from the analysis of football critics that Southampton lacks a top scorer.

However, they also know that Southampton's signings this season are already strong enough. Even if the club still has money, it is impossible to spend tens of millions to buy a striker in the winter. It is also difficult for top strikers to transfer in the winter.

After the half-season, the Premier League teams have little time to rest. In fact, they will soon usher in a wave of intensive games, and after discussions, Southampton's senior management did not want to introduce any players.

Noriya believes that the lineup is complete enough. Even if a forward who can bring a lot of goals joins at this time, it may not be a good thing for the entire team.

However, Jiya paid special attention to Vardy. His performance in the English League was somewhat stumbling in the first half of the season. He started every game and did not score many goals. However, as the winter break approached, he seemed to have adapted to the English League.

With the rhythm, he started scoring goals one after another.

"It's a pity, judging from Stevenage's performance, he probably won't be able to compete in the Championship, right? Where can I find a Championship team where Vardy will play the main role next season... Such a team is not easy to find."

Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.

He watched all Vardy's recent game videos, and Ji Ya came to a conclusion - although this guy is not good at level, he is still very adaptable. With such a gradual game, he might become better and better.

, It's a pity that Southampton can't use him now, and he also needs to train himself more in low-level games.

Otherwise, if he returns to Southampton now, he won't be able to play any games, and Southampton won't dare to train him in the Premier League.
