"Football matches are really not easy. We obviously seem to have an overall advantage, but just because of a lucky loss, we are beaten by them. No wonder football is round."
On the way to the press conference, Ji Ya kept muttering in his mind. If he hadn't felt how stressful the world of professional football was and how cruel the competition was before, at least now, he had begun to feel it.
The quality of Southampton's players is not bad, and they have basically retained most of their main players after being relegated, and they have been replaced by better players. With their strength, they should have made it to the Premier League instead of hanging around in English League One, but this
Even though it was a game, it still seemed so difficult.
"I may still have some shortcomings." Ji Ya thought thoughtfully.
He has come up with various training plans that are relatively excellent, but he also relies on professionals like Benelli for training. As a semi-layman, Ji Ya judges the player's status and strength on the training field, and studies
The opponent arranged targeted tactics, but he seemed too bad in this regard.
It can even be said that he doesn't know how to do it at all.
"I'm very happy with today's victory... but I didn't do a good enough job, otherwise we should have been able to win a little easier. Southampton needs to return to the Premier League. As long as our economy is OK, Southampton will not
There will be problems, and I hope we can perform better in the next games."
Noriya looked very low-key at the press conference, which made reporters who were pro-Southampton appreciate him more. Generally, coaches will boast a few words after winning. After all, today's coaches like to play with their personalities and like to show off.
In terms of his own style, Ji Ya is so low-key and cautious at such a young age. He is really a good young man who is admirable.
Jackett, who was standing next to him, didn't like what he heard. What does "we should win more easily" mean? Does this mean that Southampton is definitely better than us at Millwall?
"We lost this game and we are very unconvinced, but there is still a second round in London. We will watch it again."
Jackett said a few words and then left the press conference, leaving only Ji Ya alone.
"You're really uneducated."
The Southampton reporters present all sighed like this, and then began to praise Ji Ya constantly, making Ji Ya feel a little embarrassed.
"Southampton got off to a great start in the new League One season! Lambert scored his first goal after joining Southampton, while Schneiderlin scored the winning goal! Although Millwall pulled a point back
, and made Southampton a little embarrassed at the last moment, but they still got the key three points! Although Southampton is still ranked at the bottom (lost ten points to start), we have already seen hope!"
"This Southampton team has at least started to get on the right track. As long as our team is on the right track, there is nothing to worry about!"
Southampton's local media began to praise the newly-started Southampton. After all, they won a game and got off to a good start.
In the first round of the League Cup three days later, Southampton won again. Ji Ya sent out almost the same lineup. Southampton relied on Lallana's two goals to beat them 2-0 at home.
Northampton, still one level below, entered the second round of the League Cup.
Northampton seems to have some connection with Southampton, but in fact the two are not very close to each other. One is south of London and the other is north of London. Northampton is an inland city and Southampton is a port city.
, there is no relationship between the two parties except their names.
After defeating this opponent, Southampton felt very happy again. Although some people felt that Southampton did not suppress the opponent tactically in this game and only relied on Lallana's two personal performances to score goals. There seemed to be a problem.
, but in the case of two consecutive victories, no one would say such disappointing words.
The good mood of Southampton fans lasted until the start of the second round.
The away challenge was against Huddersfield, which was once the first team to win three consecutive championships in England's top league, but has now been in decline and has been in the lower leagues for a long time. Originally, Southampton felt that they should continue their efforts and win another game. As a result, Huddersfield
However, Field scored three goals cleanly in the first and second half. All three goals were scored from the center after breakthroughs from the wing. Southampton only relied on Lambert's goal to regain a point.
"Southampton's basic tactic is 442, but their wing attacks are completed by the two full-backs Otsmobo and Harding. They continued to attack forward during the game and supported Southampton.
There are two wingers, but although they are both playing, they have the problem of going up and not coming down. In this way, their wingers have a lot of places that can be used. The three goals in this game are
It illustrates this very well.”
Commentators began to comment on this defeat, but it was obvious that Southampton had a chance to reverse the momentum. In the third round, they challenged Swindon, who was currently third from the bottom, away from home. Swindon only won 10 points in two games.
He scored one point and conceded five goals but failed to score a goal. He is obviously a soft persimmon that can be pinched.
Noriya also made some adjustments to this game. The two full-backs were replaced by veteran Murthy and young Mills, who have better defense. However, in this game, Southampton's defensive flaws on the wing did make up for it.
On the way, but during the attack, it was greatly affected...
The two sides were constantly entangled on the court. Rather than being patient, after ninety minutes, neither side was actually able to create a good opportunity. However, Brighton had better luck. In the ninth minute, they missed a goal.
, and this goal was the only goal in the game!
Southampton loses two games in a row!
Southampton fans were a little dumbfounded. There were so many matches in League One. These two games lasted less than a week. In just one week, they fell from heaven to hell!
Although the losses in these two games did not seem to be much, but after winning one game and then losing two in a row, this will definitely have a huge impact on the team's morale!
After all, Noriya is a new chairman and head coach without any prestige. If he continues to suffer failures at the beginning of the season, then the confidence of the entire team will be lost!
The most important thing is that judging from these two losses, Noriya's tactical adjustments are really average. Many times he just sits beside the coaching bench at a loss, as if he is an ordinary fan rather than a professional coach.

If Ji Ya is Mr. Nan Guo, then now is basically the time to be exposed...
