Noriya's words made the game become more exciting in the second half.
The first half was actually very exciting. Although the two sides only scored three goals in total, they basically kept attacking each other. The pace of the game was quite fast and opportunities were constantly created. Such a game itself seemed
Quite exciting.
After the second half of the game started, this game rhythm began to continue.
Manchester United's offense is basically completed by Van Persie and Shinji Kagawa. Shinji Kagawa's offensive ability is still top-notch, while others continue to create opportunities, and finally the shot is completed, either Van Persie volleys, or Shinji Kagawa shoots directly...
…
It is difficult to completely block this kind of attack. Generally speaking, it can only rely on the performance of the goalkeeper.
Navas' performance was quite good.
Southampton's offense has more points.
Although Benteke has just joined, this guy's physical fitness is very good. Not to mention his height of 1.9 meters, he can run 100 meters in 11 seconds. He is also very good in physical confrontation. He can dribble the ball and grab points...
So Noriya simply gave him enough freedom on the court, while others attacked around him.
Anyway, except for him, everyone else has a very high golf IQ.
Even Nolito, who is a substitute, has excellent observation skills and overall perspective. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the Barcelona youth team for so many years. His failure to gain a foothold in the first team is not a problem with his strength.
, but because the people in Barcelona are too strong...
There are a group of people with high golf intelligence around them, so whether Benteke's golf intelligence is high or not is not really a big problem. It's just like when you are in the fifth row with a group of great players, even if you are very bad, you will often be easily taken away.
What's more, Benteke is not a weakling.
He quickly completed a move. Mkhitaryan, who advanced forward, shot directly. The ball flew to the ground and flew out of the baseline, causing a burst of sighs from the Southampton fans in the stands.
"Christian's kick is pretty good," Klose said cheerfully on the bench.
The German veteran has not played a minute of the game in the new season, but he doesn't care. He originally joined the team relatively late and only recently resumed joint training. Moreover, he played a lot of games last season, including the European Cup.
He has played a lot of games, which may not be a big deal to others, but to him, it is already a big overdraft.
After all, he is already thirty-four years old, and he started professional training relatively late. He did not start real professional training until he was around ten years old, so he would not enter football until he was twenty years old. At the same time, because his foundation is still somewhat lacking,
Although he has always been very self-disciplined, his condition has declined relatively quickly.
So playing fewer games will be very helpful to continue his career.
Noriya has talked about this with Klose before. Klose's biggest goal now is to play in the 2014 World Cup. He is now one short of Ronaldo's record of fifteen goals in the World Cup. No one wants to
The need to leave a name in history is not an exaggeration.
There are still two seasons before the World Cup. Klose will train hard and maintain his condition in games, and Kiya will not use him too harshly.
So it's also a good thing to see someone taking his place.
The pace of the two sides' attacks in the game started to get faster. In such an attack, the defender is always the one who has the most difficulty.
Ten minutes into the second half...
Southampton launched another attack.
Benteke shifted to the left, and then he received Mkhitaryan's pass. Nolito began to shift diagonally to the center to attract the opponent's attention. Benteke directly kicked the ball and passed it.
In the middle, flying to the back point...
Evra, who was filling in, tried to head the ball to clear the ball. As a result, he inexplicably slipped to the ground while running and failed to hit the ball. Schneiderlin, who came in from the back row, caught the missed ball.
, Facing the falling ball, the French youngster dived forward without hesitation!
As soon as Lindegaard turned around, the ball had already flown into the goal!
Three to one!
After scoring the goal, Schneiderlin rushed to the sidelines excitedly and started celebrating. He didn't play many games last season and didn't score many goals. This goal was enough to make him very happy.
Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously.
Although three to one is not very safe, it is always a good thing to be ahead.
Lindegaard kicked the ball out in annoyance. After finally starting this game, he conceded three goals in a row. It seemed that it was too difficult for him to seize the main position...
Ferguson shook his head helplessly. Using Lindegaard in this game was actually a helpless move for him. He was not arrogant enough to use a substitute goalkeeper against a championship-level team - it was actually De Gea who was training
The middle finger was injured, and forcing him to play might aggravate the injury, so Lindegaard was called on.
As a result, it now seems that this Norwegian goalkeeper is of no use.
Moreover, the problem in the midfield is not small now. Cleverley cannot withstand Southampton's pressing and onslaught in the midfield. At the same time, although Shinji Kagawa is very active, his physical reasons prevent him from organizing the offense well, so he can only
Using long shots to launch an offense, under such circumstances, it is difficult to shake Southampton's defense.
The only option is to replace it.
But fortunately, Manchester United's employment this season is pretty good.
Ferguson changed two people in a row. Veteran Scholes replaced Cleverley. He will take the ball from behind and organize the attack. Now his long and mid-range passes are already a bit like a master's.
, at this time, it can play a very good role when everyone's physical fitness is declining.
Another substitution was that Nani replaced Shinji Kagawa. Nani appeared on the left wing and Welbeck moved up the front line.
Manchester United's lineup changed from 4,231 to 4,42 to strengthen their offense.
"Keep pressing and maintain our midfield advantage!"
Ji Ya shouted to the court. In the first round against Manchester City, he was leading 3-1. However, he was conservative and was forced to score two goals to equalize the score at the last moment. The three points he got turned into one point.
, this game cannot repeat the same mistakes again.
Southampton's players were also reminded of the first-round match.
After all, less than ten days have passed.
In that game, they were very close to victory. It could even be said that they could reach out and get it, but at the last moment it turned into one point. Ji Ya didn't scold them loudly on the training ground, but they did.
I knew in my heart that my performance during that period was indeed somewhat poor.
At the very least, it distracted my attention and did not persist to the end.
If Southampton's goal is only the top four, this level of loss of points is acceptable, but if it wants to win the championship, it must avoid such a loss of points.
They all understand this truth without Ji Ya having to emphasize it.
