"So I said don't be anxious, you know? To score goals, you still need to have a normal mind. If you hadn't acted like you must score a lot of goals in the last game and were stared at by the opponent, in a normal game, hats
It’s hard to tell the trick, two goals is not a big problem, but only one was scored,” Noriya said to Benteke.
Benteke also had a look of regret on his face. He began to feel that he was indeed too irrational for not listening to Ji Ya's words.
"It's good that you know this. Play better in the next games. Your appearance in the league is still guaranteed." Ji Ya said.
Benteke nodded. He knew this. To be honest, whether it was Klose or Austin, there was a clear gap between him and him. Klose is indeed older and his confrontation ability is not good. Playing in the Premier League.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to sustain output, and Austin's performance is unstable and his strength is still lacking.
So as long as he stays calm, his main position is still guaranteed.
Noriya didn't say much about Benteke's lesson. After all, his performance was good. The next round of the league will be in three days, and Southampton cannot tolerate any mistakes.
The next league opponent is Norwich City, a team that was promoted in the same year as Southampton. However, they advanced through the play-offs and performed much better than Queens Park Rangers. Last season they ranked in the middle and were relegated early.
Success, this season it is still ranked 13th, and relegation is not a big problem.
But it is precisely because of this that they did not fight very fiercely in this game.
They are only seven or eight points ahead of the relegation zone. Now they are fighting with Southampton to the ground and have run out of bullets. Then they do not perform well in the relegation battle. What should they do if they are relegated?
Unless you are forced to a certain point, or it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, who is willing to fight in this kind of competition?
Norwich won't let things go on purpose, but they won't fight tooth and nail, that's true.
Therefore, when playing away games, Southampton also patiently plays in the midfield and then slowly looks for opportunities.
Don't give the opponent too much hope, nor do you want to anger the opponent by attacking without hesitation.
This degree is actually quite difficult to grasp.
Southampton grasped this very well. They controlled the situation on the field, and then Benteke seized two opportunities and scored a goal in each half, winning their fourth consecutive game.
Manchester United almost made the Southampton fans cheer - they were once led twice by West Ham United, but after Robin van Persie equalized the score, Ashley Young completed the winner, and Manchester United continued to lead by four points.
What makes Benteke regretful is that both of his competitors scored goals in this round. Suarez scored 22 goals, Van Persie scored 21 goals, and he scored 20 goals. The three of them were very entangled with each other, but he still scored 20 goals.
Ranked third.
The following weekend is the FA Cup match, Southampton plays an away game against Manchester United, and then the next week is a game against Inter Milan. Southampton plays at home first, and then goes to Milan to play away.
The next FA Cup game will actually be painful for Manchester United and Southampton.
The competition between both sides was actually very intensive.
Southampton had to play in the Europa League, and they also played one more League Cup final. Although they were all substitutes, it still involved a lot of energy.
Manchester United still has to participate in the second leg of the Champions League - this game is played before the first leg of Southampton's match against Inter Milan. Under such circumstances, do they dare to send their main players in this game?
No matter how you look at it, the Champions League and the league are more important.
When it comes to the quality of the substitutes, Manchester United is much worse than Southampton.
Although Ferguson's ability to form a team is also very good, compared with Kiya's plug-in, he still seems a bit weak.
Therefore, Southampton's full substitute appearance is actually very strong, but if Manchester United's full substitute appearance, their strength may be one or two levels lower.
But Ferguson had no other choice.
Ever since, the Manchester United that appeared in this game was an incomplete Manchester United.
Goalkeeper Lindegaard, the two full-backs are Raphael and the teenager Butner, the center back is partnered by the young Evans and Smalling, the midfielder Cleverley, Scholes and Anderson are partnered, and the forward Weir
Baker, Nani, Hernandez.
No matter how you look at it, this is a substitute lineup put together, but Ferguson has no other choice. Evra, Rooney and Robin van Persie have been very tired recently. They haven't rotated much. They have to do everything well now.
Take a break, Carrick and the others in the midfield are the same, and Ferdinand and Vidic at the center back are not too young...
Southampton also sent out a substitute lineup, but it seemed much more reasonable.
The two sides began to quarrel continuously at the Theater of Dreams. Although the Manchester United players were old and young, they were all in good physical condition. They used running and fighting to make Southampton's substitutes feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Southampton still relied on a better midfield to take the lead.
They kept running and passing in the midfield, tempting Manchester United's players to run back and forth.
Not only in terms of strength, their tacit understanding is also much better than Manchester United.
So after the goalless draw in the first half, Southampton's advantage began to become more and more obvious in the second half.
Klose opened the scoring for Southampton again. The role of the German veteran began to become more and more obvious at the end of the season, making Manchester United's two young substitute forwards look very embarrassed.
After getting a set kick, Southampton scored again. Nolito took a corner kick, and Casemiro, who assisted, scored with a header in front of the goal and headed the ball into the dead center of the goal.
2-0, Southampton defeated Manchester United relatively easily in the away game and advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup!
"Once you reach the semi-finals, you must come back with a championship."
When the two coaches shook hands after the game, Ferguson seemed to be very concerned and said something to Noriya.
Ji Ya rolled his eyes.
Doesn’t he know what Ferguson means by this? Doesn’t he just want Southampton to be more distracted in the FA Cup, and then stop chasing so much in the league...
Another factor is that Manchester City has also entered the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Ferguson does not want this city rival to win an FA Cup this season.
"I will definitely compete for the championship, but I will only send all substitutes, just like this game." Ji Ya said with a smile.
Ferguson shrugged his shoulders, and Ji Ya's answer was within his expectation.
What a pity, this guy has been chasing closely behind him. Do you really want to lose the league championship this season when you retire?
"Actually, you can focus on the Champions League. Real Madrid is very good, believe me." Noriya said sincerely.
Now it was Ferguson's turn to lose his temper...
How dare you tease me? Who is this? Do you still want to respect your elders?
