With space, players like Lukaku, Fortune and Long can perform well.
Ji Ya has already analyzed this.
Then of course we need to take the right medicine.
West Bromwich Albion's offense is quite fierce, which is also their characteristic. This team is not a traditional strong team, nor does it have mature tactics and systems. After being loaned to Lukaku this season, it has
A group of offensive players who can rush and hit hard will push this tactic to the limit.
Although this tactic is very unstable and they often lose to ordinary teams, the efficiency in grabbing points is still good. Being ranked in the middle is a victory for them.
They didn't have any other ideas for this game. They just continued to play the game their own way. Winning or losing was not the most important thing.
With this mentality, they performed quite well.
Facing the defensive Southampton, they still scored a goal.
Lukaku's pass after a forced breakthrough was blocked by Blind. West Bromwich Albion got a corner kick. After his teammates took the corner kick, Lukaku and Long attracted enough attention at the front point and in the middle. Fu
Jon grabbed the first shot at the back point. His first shot was blocked by Chambers, but the ball fell to his feet again. Fortune shot again, although Navas saved the ball.
, but still can't stop the ball from entering the net!
1-0, West Bromwich Albion lead away from home.
"Their offense is really good..." Ji Ya said somewhat speechlessly.
However, he did not feel anxious. Losing the ball at a set piece is a normal thing for any team. West Bromwich Albion's defense is not very good, so they just attack.
Southampton quickly launched a counterattack.
Just because they play defensive counterattack doesn't mean they can't attack.
As soon as West Bromwich Albion came out of their happy mood, they were immediately beaten up by the somewhat annoyed Southampton players.
Benteke is running back and forth in the penalty area. Of course, he is the target of concentrated marking by opponents. Who makes him Southampton's top scorer?
However, Benteke's mentality was very stable at this time.
The more anxious you are to score a goal, the less likely you are to score.
Benteke, who began to understand this, ran around looking for opportunities, while also involving the opponent's defense.
In this way, there will naturally be much more space for other teammates.
In the 24th minute of the game, Vidal passed the ball directly to Ronaldo who pulled out of the penalty area. Ronaldo took the ball and turned around. Seeing someone coming up to defend him, he first made a fake pass, and then quickly changed.
Xiang, dribbling the ball to break through!
His speed is not very fast, but his passing skills are indeed quite outstanding.
The opponent was easily passed by him. After passing by, Ronaldo continued to move forward with the ball. When he was close to the line of the penalty area, he suddenly took a shot!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed the hands of the goalkeeper who was struggling to take off, and then fell into the back of the goal!
One to one draw!
Ronaldo opened his arms and ran to the sidelines. This is already his second season at Southampton, but he has had a very happy life in both seasons.
When he was in Porto, he couldn't be the main force, but when he arrived at Southampton, he was the absolute main force and won a lot of honors. If he wins the league championship this season, he will be able to surpass many South American players...
However, Ronaldo is not thinking about leaving Southampton immediately. After all, the World Cup will be held in a year's time. Transferring in the season before the World Cup is actually not a wise thing.
After being equalized by Southampton, West Bromwich Albion were a little depressed. After finally scoring a goal, they were equalized, which also made them very unconvinced.
As a result, they began to launch a fierce attack.
Southampton also started a defensive counterattack again.
"Concentrate and don't lose the ball again!"
Wundt commanded the defense loudly. He was also very unhappy when he conceded the ball before. After all, Southampton's defense has been very good recently. They have not conceded a goal in several consecutive games. As a result, they faced West Bromwich Albion.
He was also very unhappy when he broke the record of not conceding a goal.
Lukaku wanted to fight for the first spot in the penalty area, but was blocked by Fonte. He jumped up early and cleared the ball.
After landing, Wonte glanced at Lukaku proudly. Although Lukaku has good physical fitness and tall stature, his ability to grab points in the penalty area is not very good. Instead, he has good speed and impact.
Rather strange.
If he charges forward, Wundt really can't beat him, but when it comes to blocking positions in the penalty area and grabbing points, Wundt is not weak at all.
The next time the winger passed the ball, Wundt entangled Lukaku, preventing him from taking off. Chambers easily headed the ball to clear the ball.
After withstanding the opponent's continuous attacks, Southampton's counterattack was also impressive. Although they did not have particularly fast players in the frontcourt, Ronaldo, Willian and Benteke already cooperated very well.
Hitarian and Vidal's response, their counterattacks may seem unpleasant, but they are always fatal.
Before the end of the first half, Southampton completed the lead through a counterattack. The ball cleared by Chambers was caught by Matuidi. He immediately passed the ball to Vidal, who passed it to the right forward.
Klein then rushed forward himself. Klein dribbled the ball forward and passed it directly to William in front. William took the ball and forced a breakthrough, and then passed the ball to the center of the penalty area. Benteke got rid of the opponent while running.
The defender faced the rolling ball and fired directly into the air!
"The goal is scored! Benteke's 23rd goal this season! This makes him tied with Suarez... The Uruguayan was injured in the previous game and could not play the rest of the game. It seems that Benteke
At least you can get a silver boot!"
Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Benteke began to celebrate. While celebrating, he thought, he really can only let it happen. When he is not so eager to score, the goal will naturally come to him!
Under Ji Ya's tactical arrangements, he really doesn't have to think too much, it's enough to just go to the game normally!
During the halftime break, Ji Ya praised the players for their performance, but then he didn't say much. Now it seems that the tactics he arranged are still very targeted. At least against West Bromwich Albion, the winning rate is very high.
big.
Sure enough, Southampton expanded its lead shortly after the start of the second half. Klein broke through from the wing and created a free kick. Mkhitaryan drove the ball into the penalty area and was pushed out by the opponent's defender. The ball was cleared not far away.
Dahl faced the flying ball and shot directly into the dead center of the goal!
In the 67th minute, Fortune assisted Lukaku to form a single goal. The Belgian forward scored directly and recovered a point. However, this was also their last goal of the game.
Three to two, Southampton defeated West Bromwich Albion and won their 11th consecutive victory!
