De Bruyne's goal brought a perfect ending to Southampton. Although in the 82nd minute, Lewandowski scored from behind, but Dortmund still lost the game, 2 to 3.
They didn't lose badly.
However, Southampton has already won three consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage. Although this will not allow them to qualify early, it also gives them a considerable advantage.
In the three games, three goals were scored in each game, and these nine goals were taken care of by four players. James Ronaldo, Lukaku and De Bruyne all scored two, Suarez scored one goal in each game, and Nan'an
Purton's new offensive line is clearly starting to take shape.
Having an offensive combination that can steadily bring offense is certainly something to be happy about.
In another game, Naples defeated Marseille in a difficult 2-1 away game, which brought their points to six, nine, six, three, and zero. This group seemed somewhat clearly divided.
, however, in fact, except for Southampton's victory over Naples, which seemed relatively easy, Dortmund's losses to Naples and Southampton were actually only lost by a hair's breadth.
So even with three consecutive wins, Southampton seems to be unable to take it easy.
"We can't think too much now, we can only play game by game. This group is a very difficult group. Unless we have qualified in advance, we cannot take it lightly... As for whether we are first or second in the group,
It doesn’t matter to us because we will always encounter strong teams.”
Noriya said at the post-match press conference.
Although Dortmund lost this game, they do not have no chance. The next round will be crucial for them. If they defeat Southampton, then the chance is still great, but if they do not get three points,
Their future is indeed very dangerous.
Southampton, who returned to the league, welcomed Fulham at home. Noriya did not rotate the players. Next week is the League Cup match, so they can take a good rest.
Southampton's main players were in a bit of a state of decline after an important game, but Fulham still couldn't sustain their onslaught for too long. In the first 20 minutes, Suarez scored through an outflank in the penalty area.
Opening the scoring, before the end of the first half, Lukaku passed through the penalty area and then shot, expanding Southampton's lead.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Suarez suddenly turned around after receiving the ball and broke through. After opening a gap, he kicked off and scored twice. Ronaldo was not to be outdone. He scored a beautiful volley shot before the end.
The entire Fulham team almost left in tears. It didn't matter that they were beaten 4-0. The key was that they didn't get any chances throughout the game. Southampton had been firmly controlling the situation on the field.
Give them any chance to score.
"Southampton is getting better and better now, but it seems a bit early. They are unlikely to always have such strong control. But what makes Southampton fans happy is that their offense is always so sharp. Now
With the addition of Suarez, the offense becomes even sharper."
"Suarez, Lukaku, De Bruyne, they quickly took over Benteke, Willian and Vidal's class, and even performed better. This is really a surprising thing. What does Jiya have?"
Eyesight? Suarez spent a lot of money on Southampton, but Lukaku and De Bruyne were poached from Chelsea through trade. Although Chelsea is also performing very well now, they are second-tier players like Southampton.
Ten points, but after seeing the outstanding performance of these two players at Southampton, won't they regret it?"
The media began to hype this matter, and Mourinho responded strongly: "There is nothing to regret. The players we introduced have also performed very well. Benteke has scored two goals, and Willian is here."
Breakthroughs from the wing are also an important means of our offense. Matuidi has made Chelsea's midfield tough again... Lukaku and De Bruyne are both very good players, but that does not mean that all good players can
At Chelsea, it's a matter of trade-offs."
Noriya also agreed with this: "There are no certain rules for a player's performance. When Benteke was in Belgium, who could have known that he would be the top scorer as soon as he arrived in the Premier League? Player performance sometimes has a lot to do with tactics.
It’s a big relationship, there’s really nothing to say about it…”
Although Ji Ya seemed to be taking advantage and being obedient, his words helped relieve Mourinho's pressure. After all, he returned to the position of Chelsea's head coach this time, and he was under great pressure from glory to glory.
Although he is performing well now, the outstanding performances of Lukaku and De Bruyne, who were abandoned by him, did give his opponents an opportunity to criticize him. You must know that the Portuguese offended many people because he was too unruly.
When his performance was good, no one dared to say anything about him. Once his coaching performance declined, everyone would definitely criticize him.
Arsenal currently ranks first with 22 points, Southampton, Chelsea, and Liverpool all have 20 points, Tottenham have 19 points, Everton is sixth with 18 points, and the Manchester duo are 16 and 14.
Being in the seventh or eighth position has become a sibling.
However, with a new head coach, it is normal for results to fluctuate. However, looking at Chelsea and Liverpool, which also changed coaches, it seems that this cannot be the reason.
Noriya didn't say anything about this. He just wanted to focus on the performance of this season. Southampton's defense of the league championship this season is actually a good opportunity. Many strong teams have made certain changes. Although Southampton also has its ups and downs,
They were the first to complete adjustments within the team, which is certainly a good opportunity.
In the fourth round of the League Cup in midweek, Noriya sent all his substitutes to the away game against Sunderland, including goalkeeper Gulacchi, defender Jenkinson, Rudiger, Bailly and Alonso, and midfielder Matic.
This substitute lineup is actually very good, especially in the midfield. Although there is a certain gap compared with Southampton's main team, the difference is actually not big.
On the forward line, Vardy has excellent scoring ability, Klose is experienced, and Coutinho has excellent long-range shooting and ball-taking abilities. The overall coordination is not bad at all.
That is to say, the defense seems to be a bit lacking, as it was formed temporarily and is relatively young, but their personal qualities are not bad at all.
Jenkinson defends very well and is willing to play as a substitute. Rudiger and Bailly are both black defenders with good physical fitness. Alonso is average in other aspects, but his assist ability is quite outstanding. When someone helps him fill the position,
Under the circumstances, he can perform very well.
