Chapter 257 Winning the championship ahead of time?
Chelsea defeated Manchester United, which made Southampton more comfortable.
Noriya quickly adjusted his tactics for the next game. He removed Mkhitaryan and Ronaldo and let Casemiro and Nolito play. In this game, Southampton will have to fight back defensively!
At White Hart Lane, they adopted a defensive counterattack posture from the very beginning.
This gave Tottenham a huge headache.
As I said before, Tottenham this season can be called the sun of the Premier League. There are a group of lunatics on the field who can do sprinting. Bell, Lennon, Walker, Defoe... one can run better than the other. If they hit the ground running, then
What a smooth experience.
But what a team like this needs is space.
Southampton's defensive tactics did not give them space yet, and they were always ready to counterattack.
As a result, everyone at Tottenham was really confused.
They can only attack continuously and cautiously, not giving Southampton too many opportunities to counterattack.
But in this way, their offensive effect will naturally be weakened.
Therefore, they were not able to score in the entire first half. Instead, before the end of the first half, Casemiro intercepted the ball in midfield and launched a fast break. Willian immediately passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area, and Bente came in at high speed.
Ke formed a single shot and calmly pushed into the far corner, scoring his 24th league goal of the season!
Van Persie hasn't scored in two rounds, and Benteke has rekindled his hope of winning the top scorer!
However, to the regret of the Southampton fans, Tottenham, who were attacking like crazy, evened the score in the second half. Bell broke through in the 86th minute and then cut into the penalty area, then scored from a small angle and forced the goal from his old club.
I stole two points...
Southampton fans were quite regretful and even began to scold Bell for his betrayal. Instead, Noriya defended Bell after the game.
"Gareth is a professional player. I know this very well. He was just doing his job in the game... My only regret is that we couldn't try our best to prevent him from scoring this goal. But a draw will do.
Well, we are now two points ahead of Manchester United, and we just need to win the next two games."
The media still agree with this. In fact, Southampton only needs to get four points - the same score in the Premier League depends on the goal difference. Manchester United's current goal difference is 42, while Southampton
Don's goal difference is as high as 51. It is basically impossible for Manchester United to catch up with the nine goal difference gap in the two rounds.
"Southampton are only four points away from their first ever league title!"
"Is Ferguson's final season going to end badly?"
"Will Ferguson stick around for another season?"
The media began to look forward to what will happen after the end of this season, but Noriya and Ferguson began to remain silent at the same time.
They don't need to say anything at this time, and Manchester United doesn't really have no chance.
To put it bluntly, Southampton has won eleven games in a row, and then suffered a draw, breaking their winning streak. It is also normal for them to perform poorly in the following period.
Their opponents in the next round, Sunderland and Swansea, both jumped out to increase their presence. Sunderland said that we must work hard to stop Southampton and help Manchester United regain the advantage. Swansea said that Southampton
Purton is the pride of our newly promoted team, and we must also try our best to stop Manchester United.
As a result, the competition between the two sides began to become more and more intense, which means that the head coaches of both sides remained calm and did not expand the confrontation.
After all, calmness is more important at this time.
On May 8, the 37th round of the league will be held at the same time.
Southampton plays Sunderland away and Manchester United plays Swansea at home.
Sunderland lined up a defensive lineup at home, but Southampton didn't care. In fact, Sunderland, ranked 15th, has not yet completely succeeded in relegation. They are only three points ahead of Wigan Athletic, which is 18th.
points, so even one point is actually very important to them.
Ji Ya mobilized all his main forces and focused on launching a strong attack!
Using offense to win is Southampton's only need!
They began to show off all their martial arts skills and attacked Sunderland one by one.
Speaking of which, Southampton actually has quite a lot of offensive methods, including Ronaldo's breakthrough and long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, Mkhitaryan's breakthrough and long-range shot from the middle of the penalty area, Willian's forced breakthrough and pass from the wing, Benteke's
Grabbing points and attracting attention in the penalty area, Vidal's organization and passing, as well as his constant forward penetration, Klein's support and assists from the wing, and even Blind has a good kick directly from the backcourt.
Long ball.
Grab points, crosses, breakthroughs, long shots, penetration... Southampton has many ways to score goals.
Therefore, although Sunderland tried very hard to resist Southampton's attack, it was still very difficult to resist.
However, Sunderland still managed to maintain the tie until the end of the first half.
News came from another venue that Manchester United led Swansea 1-0 thanks to Xiaowu's goal.
Southampton was not particularly moved. They only knew that they must continue to use better offense to complete this game!
Such excitement allowed them to score just two minutes into the second half!
William forced a breakthrough and passed the ball to the back point. Ronaldo received the ball and passed it back to the front of the penalty area. Mkhitaryan followed up with a powerful shot. The ball hit the defender and changed the line. Benteke raised his foot to intercept the ball.
Then suddenly he turned around and shot!
The ball quickly flew into the dead center of the goal, and Benteke opened the scoring for the team!
"Benteke! Benteke! Benteke! The twenty-fifth goal! He is only one goal away from Van Persie! Southampton is only one point away from winning the league championship!"
The commentator started shouting crazily, and the Southampton fans cheered wildly!
Five minutes later, Southampton fans once again let out huge cheers.
It was not because Southampton expanded its lead, but in another game, Michu scored a goal for Swansea and equalized the score!
As a result, in the real-time standings, Southampton is four points ahead of Manchester United!
If this score is maintained until the end, then Southampton will win the league championship one round ahead of schedule!
"Champion! Champion! Champion!"
The Southampton fans who came from afar began to shout loudly, and stimulated by this, the Southampton players performed even more bravely.
Benteke scored twice in the 73rd minute of the second half, establishing the victory of this game - William broke into the penalty area and created a penalty kick. He was supposed to be the penalty kicker, but when he saw Benteke
With eager eyes, after Noriya's acquiescence, Benteke took the penalty kick and won it in one go!
Two to zero, Southampton completely established the victory!
Now, it depends on whether Manchester United will let Southampton win the championship in advance!
