Although many of his predictions were later slapped in the face, it didn't happen this time.
After the start of the second half, Naples' attack became more intense, but Southampton naturally began to counterattack. Ronaldo was replaced by Nolito, but Suarez and Lukaku still stayed in the frontcourt.
Matic and Schneiderlin were also sent on the field one after another, and Southampton's counterattack was impressive.
It was through a counterattack in the second half that Lukaku forced a breakthrough and scored the third goal of the game. Southampton defeated Naples 3-0 at home and achieved a brilliant victory!
Southampton, who have won two consecutive games at the beginning, cannot be said to have guaranteed qualification, but at least they will appear more comfortable in the game!
In another game, Dortmund, which lacked its main goalkeeper and head coach, did not lose its chain. They defeated Marseille 3-0 at home and scored three points. After two rounds, Southampton had six points, Dortmund and Naples both
It is three points, Marseille is at the bottom with zero points - now it seems that Marseille is the first to be left behind in this group...
In the next two rounds, Naples will play two games against Marseille, while Dortmund and Southampton will play two games in a row. Under such circumstances, for both sides, the next two games will determine the final result.
Southampton, who returned to the league, welcomed Swansea. This game is not an important game, but it has received considerable attention because this will be the game where Suarez's suspension ends!
Southampton fans are also very interested. They know that for Southampton players, if they want to keep them, it is difficult for the club to be particularly attractive in terms of salary and other aspects. Only by paying attention to the players and giving them
Much effort has been put into these aspects of warmth.
Therefore, Southampton fans have always been very enthusiastic and will give the players the greatest warmth. On the first day Lukaku joined Southampton, several children ran over to take photos with him and asked for his autograph, which made Lukaku confused.
He also looked a little flattered.
And this game is no exception.
When the day of the game arrived, countless banners filled the stands at St. Mary's Stadium.
"Welcome back, Louis!"
"Forget the unpleasant past, this is Southampton!"
"New saint, you will be God's favorite!"
All in all, the whole stand was filled with the kind of unconditional support that only family members can give.
Of course, Noriya will not use the "you all think I will send Suarez to play, but I won't" strategy at this time. He rotated one or two players in this game, but Suarez still started.
Already.
When Suarez saw these slogans during the warm-up, he was already a little excited. When he came out, the cheers and shouts that broke out in the stands made him involuntarily raise his hands frequently.
"The atmosphere of the stadium in Southampton is really good. Although the stadium is not big, it is easier for the players to feel supported." The ESPN commentator sighed.
"They were not like this before. Southampton used to be famous for being picky and they didn't look like a Premier League team. But the change now is normal. The club has such good results. If it were me, I would treat them as a Premier League team."
I worship you like a god." The guest replied with a smile.
Because there was another FIFA match day after this round, Kiya did not rotate too many players. He just asked Alonso to replace Luke Shaw and Matic to replace Casemiro, because Luke?
Xiao will be selected for the national team for the first time. Ji Ya plans to let him take a good rest, while Casemiro will fly back to South America to participate in the competition. It would be good to let him take a good rest.
Facing Swansea, which had caused them a lot of trouble last season, Southampton's performance was quite solid.
They continued to base themselves in the midfield, looking for opportunities, while Swansea defended to stop Southampton's attack.
Some people have complained before that Southampton is playing more and more like a Serie A team now, because they are very calm when facing the iron barrel formation, and then rely on one or two sudden goals to take the lead and force
If the opponent presses out to attack, the rest of the game will be easier for them.
So in fact, sticking to counterattack tactics is still very useful to them.
Under such circumstances, Swansea would be a fool if they did not use defensive counterattacks.
However, the situation is different now, because Southampton's center forward has become Suarez, who can break through with the ball and create the greatest murderous potential in the most advanced position.
Although in normal games, his performance may not be much better than that of Vardy. After all, as a center, Vardy is also very good at grabbing points and making ball. However, in intensive defense, he can get the ball in the penalty area and even complete the ball.
The ability to break through becomes extremely important!
The game started only five minutes ago.
Lukaku took the ball from the wing and passed it to De Bruyne.
De Bruyne raised his foot and sent the ball into the penalty area. Suarez unloaded the ball while running and made a fake move to shoot directly. When the opponent's defender rushed over to block it, Suarez flicked his ankle.
, dunked the ball directly, got out of the way again, and then quickly swung his calf to shoot the ball out!
The ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal. Although the opponent's goalkeeper tried hard to save, he still failed to touch the ball!
A huge cheer suddenly erupted from the stands!
"The ball went in! Suarez! He scored with the first touch of the ball in this game! He is really the best bottle opener! In the intensive defense in the penalty area, he used his excellent skills and first time
His ability to shoot with his kick opened the door to victory for Southampton first! It’s really impressive! No wonder Jiya spent such a large sum of money to buy him!”
"When he was at Liverpool, Suarez sometimes had to do a lot of things. It was not until the second half of the season when Sturridge was around to support him that he performed better, but he still had to take on a lot of ball-taking, breakthroughs and initiations.
Offensive responsibility! It’s different at Southampton, he has enough resources behind him!”
After scoring the goal, Suarez ran to the stands and made a heart gesture with his hands in return for the Southampton fans.
"Ha, this guy, does he think he is a girl?" Ji Ya couldn't help laughing.
Suarez is not good-looking, with an ugly face and a pair of big buck teeth, but at this time, he looks so cute in the eyes of Southampton fans.
