There was really no ripples in the second half of the game.
Grealish replaced Lucas and Henderson to strengthen the midfield, but it was too late. Southampton controlled the midfield and continued to launch attacks. Suarez and the others were looking for scoring opportunities, but they never found any.
Being able to get support from the backcourt, the occasional threatening shots were saved by Navas.
The two sides were in a stalemate until the 80th minute, when Southampton sealed the victory. Benteke broke into the penalty area after receiving William's pass, and then shot hard. The ball was saved by Jones, but it still flew into the Liverpool gate!
Benteke started a crazy celebration, he finally scored, and now he has tied Van Persie's number of goals, and is only one goal away from Suarez!
This goal was also the last goal of the game. Southampton defeated Liverpool 3-1 at home and once again won six consecutive games.
"I'm happy to beat Liverpool...It's always difficult to deal with a strong team like Liverpool, and we withstood this difficult schedule. Manchester United? Whatever, it doesn't matter how they play, it has nothing to do with us, all we have to do is
Win one game after another. Another six-game winning streak? We will work hard to achieve seven consecutive wins." Noriya said in an interview.
Although compared with Arsenal's fourteen-game winning streak, even seven consecutive wins is nothing to say, but under the current circumstances, Southampton's continued victory is something to be proud of.
In the next round of the league, Southampton will face Chelsea at home. This is also a hurdle that Southampton has to pass. After passing this hurdle, their advantage may not be small in the future - after all, Manchester United will continue to play.
Against a strong team, Southampton’s strong team has basically finished!
"First we will eliminate Inter Milan, then it will be the national team match day. After returning to the league, let us win seven consecutive victories!"
Noriya told the players in the team, and the players cheered one after another. This is the moment they have been waiting for.
Although they are still four points behind Manchester United, after defeating Manchester City and Liverpool, they began to feel that they had a great chance to win the league championship this season.
Manchester United is not a team that won't stumble at the last moment. In fact, they can win the championship not because they don't stumble, but because they stumble less often than their opponents.
Last season, Manchester City didn't miss a beat at the last moment and won the league championship - this is actually evident.
In the away game against Inter Milan, Noriya once again sent out most of his substitute players.
After all, he won three goals in the first round, and he did not rotate all the main players in this game, but only some rotations in the midfield and frontcourt.
However, Inter Milan proved their rich heritage.
Cassano scored in the first half, and Coutinho brought the score closer shortly after the start of the second half. In the 70th minute, under the pressure of Milito, Font accidentally scored an own goal, 3-0, International
Milan gained a two-round advantage!
However, at this time, their burst of physical energy had been exhausted, and in the remaining time, they could only be beaten by Southampton.
Klose regained a point with a clever shot in the penalty area. Then, with Inter Milan having no way out and aggressively attacking, Southampton once again counterattacked and Vidal scored, eventually losing 2-3 away from home.
They still entered the quarterfinals of the Europa League with a score of 6 to 4 in two rounds.
Although he won this game, it still frightened Ji Ya. When he was trailing 3-0, he felt that he might be doomed. Fortunately, he was keenly aware that Inter Milan's physical fitness had begun to decline.
Only then did he quickly command the team to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, Inter Milan might have completed a great reversal.
"Coutinho's long-range shot is indeed good. In terms of overall situation and organization, he is slightly worse. His area of activity is too fixed and his speed is not fast. But if a player like this is used well and his strengths are brought into play, it will be great."
Very strong." Ji Ya sighed and said to Benali.
"The most important thing is that this kind of player is not worth much." Benali said with a smile.
"How do you know what I want to say?" Ji Ya was shocked.
After a few words, Ji Ya began to ask Fry to contact Inter Milan, hoping to finalize Coutinho in advance. However, Moratti has no time to care about this now. He is negotiating with Thohir to prepare for Inter Milan.
If most of Milan's shares are to be transferred, the negotiation will have to wait until the end of this season.
Ji Ya was also very helpless about this. He could only shrug his shoulders - originally he wanted to take advantage of the FIFA match day, so that he could stay in Milan for a few more days and talk to Moratti. Now look
Come on, it's better to go back to England.
On the following FIFA match day, although Southampton's losses were not small, their opponent Chelsea was not much better, especially now that many of Chelsea's main players from Brazil have to go to South America to compete.
Their performance will definitely be greatly affected in the future.
Southampton's substitute lineup can perform very well under such circumstances.
Chelsea are now ranked fourth with 58 points, and the gap with the teams behind them is widened. They are four points ahead of Tottenham and seven points ahead of Arsenal. After Benitez took office, the effect of leading the team is still acceptable.
On this FIFA match day, Ji Ya had nothing to do, so in addition to preparing for the next game, he went to the youth team to observe Du Yue's performance.
After all, he was a fierce man whose training plan cost him 99 achievement points.
"How has he been doing recently?" Ji Ya first went to Prost.
"Not very good."
Prost showed a miserable expression: "Other characteristics are actually quite suitable for him. It's just this feeling of being in front of the door. Anyway, he just doesn't kick in the door."
Ji Ya couldn't help laughing: "You have to forgive him for this. After all, he has played as a defender for more than ten years. All he thinks about is how to clear the ball. To get used to the feeling of sending the ball into the goal, it still takes a lot of effort.
of time.”
"He wants a little too much time right now," Prost said unhappily.
"Yes, but some people are slower, but once they adapt, they will adapt better than anyone else." Ji Ya patted Prost on the shoulder.
"Is there such a person? Don't fool me. I've also watched the TV series about Chinese soldiers you mentioned. There is no such person named Xu in real life. Besides, Du Yue is smarter than a monkey." Puro
