Southampton returns from Wembley Stadium with great success.
This is the second League Cup championship in their club history and the first championship this season.
"Guys, have you had a good rest during this time? Next, you have to work hard." Ji Ya said to the main players.
The main players laughed one after another. They did not appear in the second round of the Europa League and the League Cup final. In addition, there is a week's rest time after the League Cup final, so tomorrow will be a full rest for nearly half a day.
Yue, I am lucky to be able to rest for so long at this point in the season.
Of course, this means that it will be difficult for them to rest next time.
After all, what follows is a consecutive week of double matches, first two consecutive league matches, then an FA Cup quarter-final, then another league match, and then the Europa League match against Inter Milan is about to begin...
There will be a break until after the Europa League quarter-finals, but unless Southampton wins or loses to Manchester United in the next FA Cup game, if they draw, they will still
Will play in the FA Cup play-offs.
Fortunately, Noriya has already decided on a strategy. The substitutes will definitely play in the FA Cup, so the main players can still have a good rest.
In the next round, Southampton will face Queens Park Rangers at home.
This team, which was promoted together with Southampton, is likely to be relegated this season. They have been at the bottom of the league for many rounds and are now seven points behind the relegation line. There are still nine rounds of the league left. It is difficult to catch up with these seven points.
"Let's say goodbye to our old friends first." Ji Ya said lightly.
They were promoted teams in the same year, but their performances were very different. Last season, Southampton secured the top four early on, and finally secured third place in advance. But what about Queens Park Rangers? Until the final round.
Only then did they confirm that they were successfully relegated, and they also offended the Manchester United fans, because the Manchester United fans thought that they must have let go after knowing that they were relegated, so they were scored two goals by Manchester City in the last few minutes...
This kind of thing actually depends on free will, and everyone at Queen's Park Rangers is feeling tired.
And what about this season? Southampton continues to make rapid progress and is now beginning to get involved in winning the league title, while Queens Park Rangers are deep in the relegation zone. If nothing else happens, they will definitely be relegated.
Therefore, in this game, many players who participated in the English Championship game two years ago were filled with emotions.
Of course, it is mainly Southampton players. After all, Mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin, Wundt, and Klein all played for Southampton when they were in the British Championship. Queens Park Rangers have played for the past two years.
Blood transfusions are much more frequent.
However, although they lamented, it did not prevent them from continuing to beat this opponent to death.
After all, they don’t really have feelings for each other!
Benteke runs quite actively on the court - of course there is a reason for this. He has now scored 17 goals in the Premier League. This number ranks him third in the scorer list, but the number one
Van Persie only has 20 goals and Suarez has 18 goals. He has no chance to catch up with these two opponents.
After finally facing such a weak team, Benteke must of course look for opportunities to score!
In the League Cup final, Austin scored a hat-trick, which also made him feel a bit of crisis.
Southampton has too many good players. Although Austin is a substitute, he can always score goals. This performance makes Benteke not dare to slack off at all.
So from the beginning of the game, he was running around on the court, as if he was about to score a goal.
This also made the opponent a little anxious. After all, his physical fitness and scoring ability were there, so he had no choice but to defend.
Facing the defenders who constantly used their bodies to confront him, Benteke was a little helpless. After all, he was not the type of body that Drogba or Vieri could crush defenders. Facing two strong defenders, he wanted to
It also seems difficult to resist the opponent's interference and score goals.
However, under such circumstances, other Southampton players began to get more opportunities.
With Benteke attracting enough attention, there will naturally be more opportunities for others.
In the 21st minute of the game, Mkhitaryan picked up the ball at the top of the penalty area, but no one came up to interfere with him for the time being. They were all staring at Benteke in the penalty area. Of course Mkhitaryan no longer
To be polite, he immediately raised his foot and kicked a sharp long-range shot. The ball went straight into the blind corner and into the net.
"One to zero! Mkhitaryan opened the scoring for Southampton! This is the Armenian's thirteenth league goal this season! It's really not easy..."
The commentator shouted loudly. After Mkhitaryan entered the main lineup this season, he showed his scoring ability. Now he is Southampton's second scorer, second only to Benteke.
After being scored first by Southampton, the defenders of Queens Park Rangers were still staring at Benteke stupidly, so before the end of the first half, William found an opportunity. After receiving a pass from Ronaldo in front of the goal, he scored in the back
There was no one to defend him and he easily scored the goal.
Leading by two goals in the first half, Queens Park Rangers realized that they seemed to have been fooled. They stared at Benteke and gave others a chance!
Ji Ya is really cunning, he has the upper hand in strength and yet he digs holes in us like this!
In fact, this is not Kiya digging a hole, but a tactic that the players automatically execute...
Benteke was also criticized a few times by Noriya during the halftime break, telling him that if he wanted to score a goal, he couldn't do this, otherwise he would not be able to score.
After being scolded by Ji Ya, Benteke finally acted honestly in the second half, and he also scored a goal. Ronaldo did not take credit after passing two people in the penalty area, but passed the ball to him who was unguarded.
Benteke scored immediately and locked the score at 3-0.
At this time, there were only ten minutes left in the game. Queens Park Rangers had no intention of fighting. In the last ten minutes, Ji Ya replaced the main players in the frontcourt, leaving only Benteke to go.
toss.
After the game, Benteke was in a good mood at first. After all, the team won and he scored a goal, but he soon heard the bad news.
Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 4-0, Suarez scored a hat-trick, and the remaining goal was scored by Downing, who moved to Liverpool for 15 million this summer.
Someone from Manchester United also completed a hat trick, but it was not Van Persie, but Shinji Kagawa. Van Persie did not score in this round.
In this way, Suarez ranks first in the scorer list with 21 league goals, and Benteke has scored 18 goals, but he is still only ranked third in the scorer list...
