Mancini actually spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Southampton seems to be in good shape recently and has great arrogance, but in fact, what they have really obtained is a League Cup. There are still five rounds of the league and they are one point behind. The most important thing is that they have won eight games in a row.
No one knows whether the winning streak can continue, and there is still one final to play in the FA Cup. Although the opponent is Wigan Athletic, Wigan Athletic has also eliminated many strong teams along the way, and the Europa League is even more
Needless to say, we have only made it to the semi-finals. Whether we can continue to win in the future is still unknown.
It's good to say that they can keep winning, but once there is a setback and they are defeated in a certain cup, then it will be very difficult for them.
Of course, Noriya is aware of this, but at this point in the season, no matter who it is, there is no real guarantee of victory. They are just fighting one game after another.
If it succeeds, it will be a brilliant season. If it fails, it will be a regretful season. You can just start over next season.
It’s not like he’s going to finish class anyway.
So in this regard, his self-confidence is still sufficient. A pressure-free environment makes coaching more fun!
But for Ferguson, he has no pressure.
With his status and his imminent retirement, he really doesn't feel any pressure. Under such circumstances, although Manchester United is being closely chased by Southampton, they still show an extremely good state and stable performance.
mentality.
This round, Manchester United played first again - this is normal, after all, they have fewer games than Southampton now.
In the home game against Aston Villa, they only took the first half to solve the problem. Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick in thirty-three minutes, raising his goal tally to 20.
Five!
This result made Benteke collapse.
Suarez also scored in the next game, and Benteke fell to third place in the scorer list again.
"Keep your composure, man, and know that the most important thing for us right now is winning."
Perhaps aware of this, Wundt took the initiative to talk to Benteke.
Benteke still respects this captain, but he is still very depressed.
In the next league match, their opponent, Swansea, launched a tight defense at home.
Swansea have been playing without any desire so far this season. They are ranked ninth in the league, a bit far behind the top eight, and they have successfully avoided relegation. Therefore, in such a game, their greatest pleasure is to make trouble.
Find ways to make it more difficult for you to win and give you enough tests.
Therefore, when facing such an opponent, you have to fight a tough battle. Once the tough battle is won, nothing can be said. If you cannot win, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough.
Swansea defended, while Southampton kept possession of the ball and launched attacks.
Ji Ya stood on the sidelines. He didn't give much instructions. At this time, the coach's role was actually not that big. Facing an opponent who was stubbornly defending, there was no other way but to use eighteen weapons at the same time. Just score as much as you can.
How many!
Benteke was intensively marked by his opponents in the penalty area. After all, the threat of a high center forward in the penalty area was too obvious, so the Belgian had no choice but to keep running and fighting, hoping to find opportunities.
"His mentality is okay now. At least he is focused on competing," Benelli said to Noriya.
Ji Ya nodded: "Yes, now it depends on whether others can seize the opportunity... If he gives up his obsession with being the best scorer, it will be beneficial to the entire team's offense."
Indeed, a forward who only thinks about scoring goals is always easy to be targeted.
Benteke should be pleased with his growth.
In the end, he did not score a goal in this game, but it was with his involvement that Vidal scored a key goal in the penalty area!
When Vidal scored with a stab in the penalty area, I don't know how many Manchester United fans cursed, and how many Southampton fans breathed a sigh of relief!
One to zero! Ten consecutive wins!
More importantly, they have not conceded a goal in four consecutive games recently. Although they only won one goal, the improvement in defense is enough to prove that their current state has reached a new level!
The pressure is now on Manchester United's side.
Although they can continue to rest in the middle of the week, and although Southampton is going to play in the Europa League, in the next round, they will have to challenge Arsenal away from home, while Southampton will face West Bromwich Albion at home.
Mwich!
Although West Bromwich Albion performed quite well this year, it still seems a bit difficult for them, ranked eighth, to win against Southampton.
Noriya didn't care about this, they next played at home against Benfica - again at home first.
However, Southampton fans are no longer worried about this at all.
So what if we play at home first? Look at our home court’s combos and take them away in advance!
We played this way against Steaua Bucharest, Inter Milan, and Lazio before, and there will be no exceptions when we play against you!
This made everyone at Benfica very unhappy.
Although they are still ranked second in the league this season, the gap between them and Porto is very small. Although Southampton has suffered enough for the Portuguese team in the Europa League in recent years, are you too arrogant now?
?
However, Southampton's performance proved that they are fully capable of being so arrogant!
Benfica's defensive midfielder Matic got a taste of the surging offensive.
Matic, who came to Benfica as part of Louis' transfer, was actually a little unhappy. He felt that he had the ability to gain a foothold in the Premier League. After coming to Portugal, his defensive ability was also greatly tempered, because Portugal
The league's playing style is open, and defensive players always have to withstand the most ferocious attacks. Under such circumstances, improvement seems to be very fast.
However, now, facing Southampton's surging offensive, he really feels a little overwhelmed.
Benteke's running and impact, Ronaldo's skills and breakthroughs, Willian's dribbling and passing on the wing, Mkhitaryan's ball-taking and long-range shooting in the center, and Vidal and Matuidi's turns
Plug in, coupled with the constant support from the two wings...
Matic was trying hard to resist the opponent's attack, but what he didn't know was that in Ji Ya's opinion, this guy was already performing very well.
"Ah, this guy looks familiar to me." Ji Ya asked Benelli.
"Matic, he joined Chelsea very early, but only played twice in one season, and then was loaned to the Eredivisie. Two years ago, he went to Benfica as part of David Luiz's transfer. Now he plays well.
It’s not bad,” Benali said.
Ji Ya nodded: "Unfortunately, the Portuguese team is too demanding for money. If they want to buy him, they should just find a substitute. There is already Casemiro, so there is no point in buying him anymore."
Benelli nodded, indeed, no club can buy all the good players, they can only buy according to their own needs.
