After arriving at the Champions League draw, Ji Ya familiarly greeted the coaches he knew, including Guardiola, who had just taken office at Bayern. He looked very enthusiastic, which made Guardiola a little confused.
At a loss - am I familiar with you?
"It's a pity that the group stage can't be divided together this season. I'm still looking forward to playing against you. Your tactical details and adjustments are very enjoyable." Ji Ya said to Guardiola.
Guardiola looked at Ji Ya's face and nodded. It seemed that Ji Ya didn't mean anything else. He was just a coach who liked to compete with masters. Considering that he had used pressing tactics before, Guardiola's Barcelona began to decline.
Altar, it is normal to like to compete with yourself.
"There will always be opportunities for more confrontations in the future," Guardiola said.
"Yeah, I'll just wait until you come to the Premier League." Ji Ya said.
Guardiola was speechless. Is there anyone who can't speak? He just took the position of Bayern's head coach. Does he want to get out of class soon?
Although I also like the environment of the Premier League...
After chatting with Guardiola for a few words, Ji Ya chatted with his acquaintance Klopp for a few words, and then asked a topic that hit the soul: "Guardiola went to Bayern, are you panicked?"
"Bah." Klopp replied simply and concisely.
"If it doesn't work out, come to the Premier League to coach. What's the deal with the Bundesliga?" Ji Ya said.
"I have also considered it." Klopp nodded and replied in a low voice.
"Hey, do you want to come to Southampton to be an assistant coach?" Ji Ya asked.
"Go, go, go." Klopp didn't want to say a word to Ji Ya now...
Kiya was just talking nonsense with Klopp to pass the time, but soon, he and Klopp stopped laughing at the same time...
The first-tier and third-tier teams were drawn out first. Before Noriya and Klopp could say anything, they saw that Southampton and Dortmund were assigned to Group F at the same time...
Ji Ya and Klopp looked at each other.
Not long after, the fourth level team also came out, Naples.
There was a disturbance in the audience where the Southampton players were sitting. When the staff saw other Southampton players surrounding Drinkwater, they beat him up...
"Is this internal strife?" Many people thought this way.
Then they saw Southampton's players disperse one after another. Drinkwater covered his face and said nothing, and just sat down depressedly.
"Damn it, it can't really be Atletico Madrid." Ji Ya muttered.
"Can you say something nice..." Klopp said weakly.
"This is not what I said. This is the grouping that our player Drinkwater guessed on the plane yesterday. The only difference is Atletico Madrid." Jiya replied.
Klopp finally understood why other players wanted to beat Drinkwater...
"If we really get drawn against Atletico Madrid, I will beat him too," Klopp said.
"I'll fight with you." Noriya showed no sympathy for his own players.
Fortunately, Drinkwater escaped death in the end.
In the end, the second-tier team was drawn not from Atletico Madrid, but from Marseille.
Although Marseille is also a strong team, relatively speaking, it is easier to deal with the second-tier teams. When this group was given three strong teams, UEFA finally seemed to have a conscience.
"Actually, it's not a matter of conscience. The main reason is that if Atletico Madrid comes again, the other teams will not be very attractive. We can't always let the focus be on us." Noriya said to Klopp.
Although there is no Marseille, this group is still a group of death without a doubt.
Last season, Southampton was placed in a group with three league champions, but this season, it is placed in a group with three league runners-up.
French Ligue 1 runner-up Marseille, Bundesliga runner-up Dortmund, Serie A runner-up Napoli.
"Compared with last season's grouping, the difficulty of this group has dropped by a level! So I am still very confident that we will qualify from the group!"
Ji Ya said seriously when being interviewed.
The reporters laughed one after another, thinking that coach Ji Ya was really humorous.
"What do you think of the next Super Cup game? Southampton's recent state doesn't seem to be very good." A reporter asked.
"Nothing, we are in good condition and we will perform well in the next game."
Noriya flatly denied this, and many people are also looking forward to Southampton's next outstanding performance. After all, Suarez can play in the European Super Cup. How strong is Southampton's overall main lineup?
You can see it in every game.
However, reporters never easily guess what Noriya thinks.
Two hours before the start of the next day's game, Southampton's starting lineup came out.
Everyone was speechless.
Goalkeeper Navas, defender Klein, Font, Otamendi, Luke Shaw, midfielder Casemiro, De Bruyne, Mkhitaryan, forward Ronaldo, Lukaku, Vardy!
Suarez still didn't appear!
What kind of trouble are you trying to make?
The reporters all lamented in their hearts.
You must know that they have been discussing the changes in Southampton's performance after Suarez's appearance, the significance of Suarez to Southampton's lineup, and how Suarez will perform in the next game... The atmosphere has been heightened here.
, but you still didn’t let Suarez play?
Before the game started, the camera quickly focused on Southampton's bench, and then everyone saw Suarez sitting on the bench, chatting and laughing with Coutinho Schneiderlin and the others.
Suarez actually had no objection! What method did Ji Ya use to make Suarez have no objection to this?
In fact, there was no other way. Noriya just told Suarez directly that he would not be allowed to play in other games until his league suspension was over. He was asked to train more and get more familiar with his teammates, and then wait until the suspension was over.
, as long as he can play, he will definitely play.
Until then, let Vardy get used to the new rhythm.
This can also be regarded as Jiya's compensation for Vardy.
Suarez readily agreed to this straightforward request. After all, his temper is not very weird. As long as you respect him, he is still easy to talk to.
Noriya told him directly that Vardy might not play too many games in the future, and he would need time to adapt to more top-level games, so he would be used for this game for the time being, and Suarez would naturally become an adult.
Suarez was actually a little anxious at this time, but he did not express it because during this period of training, he had already noticed that Southampton's tactics for the new season were simply tailor-made for him.
Lukaku is involved in acceleration on the wing, De Bruyne's pass is in the midfield, and James Ronaldo and Mkhitaryan are on the left to break through and distribute the ball. In this way, he really only needs to use his shooting ability.
