First it was a free kick. William drove the ball into the penalty area. Ivanovic nodded the ball to the center. Torres jumped in front of Font and shot. The ball was saved by Navas with one hand, but Cahill was saved.
The first shot to break the net!
Then there was a corner kick. Hazard took the corner kick. Terry, who advanced to assist, shook his head from the front and scored, two to one!
Two centre-backs, two set pieces, two goals!
Stamford Bridge became a sea of joy, and Chelsea fans were shouting wildly to celebrate their overtake.
Mourinho's game is as always, they don't play well, but they can score goals!
Although they were very depressed in the first half, they immediately scored two goals in the second half!
"Damn it, this is what he wants to do emotionally. He relies on set kicks to score goals. This guy really has some little tricks that work." Ji Ya cursed.
"Boss, what are we going to do now..." Benali asked.
"Go on the offensive! Tell them to bring the score back to me!" Ji Ya shouted towards the court.
He did not make any substitutions, because Southampton currently has the strongest lineup of players on the field, and they mainly rely on them to launch a strong attack.
Mourinho changed two people at this time, Lampard replaced Oscar, and Demba Ba replaced Torres, obviously intending to defend and counterattack.
Southampton's attack started quickly. They launched continuously from the midfield, and then the two full-backs boldly moved forward. For a while, they played vigorously.
They have many offensive methods, whether they are breakthroughs from the wing, penetration from the middle, long shots, grabbing points... they are all very good at them.
Chelsea began to recycle their defense. When they defended intensively, they showed an extremely good state. It has to be said that Chelsea under Mourinho's training is different and has begun to restore the style of the previous Steel Legion...
Not only are their defense tenacious, their counterattacks are also sharp.
While enduring Southampton's violent attacks one after another, their counterattacks also continued.
In the 73rd minute, Chelsea made a wonderful counterattack. Matuidi distributed the ball in the midfield. Ramirez, who switched to the wing, took the ball under the cover of William, and then passed the ball into the penalty area to follow up.
Demba Ba jumped in and shot ahead of Otamendi, and the ball hit the net three times!
"The goal is scored again! Chelsea expands its lead, Demba Ba! Three to one, is Southampton going to suffer its second defeat this season?"
Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Ji Ya shook his head slightly, but he still did not make a substitution, but made a determined offensive gesture on the court.
Generally, coaches will always adjust the team's status by making substitutions at this time. However, it's hard to say whether Ji Ya is stubborn or determined. He just doesn't make substitutions, but gives the players the greatest trust!
It has to be said that this kind of trust is enough to make players feel that they must fight hard.
After the restart, Southampton once again launched a wave of offense. Just five minutes later, De Bruyne distributed the ball to the wing. Ronaldo immediately passed the ball to Suarez in the center. Suarez received the ball.
At the same time, he turned around and made a fake shot, tempting Cahill to stretch his foot to block, but then dunked the ball horizontally, and then kicked the ball out with all his strength!
The ball drew an arc in the air, flew past Cech, and plunged into the dead center of the goal!
Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously, and then he chose to change people.
Coutinho comes on and replaces Mkhitaryan, Nolito comes on and replaces Lukaku!
In this way, Ronaldo switched to the right, using his skills and breakthroughs to create opportunities, while Nolito handed over the ball-taking and organization on the left.
After Nolito came on the field, he quickly showed his advantages as a new force. He began to frequently get the ball on the left, and then either broke through or distributed the ball, and his performance was quite active.
Under his influence, Chelsea's solid defense began to have some gaps, so that in the 89th minute of the game, when Coutinho got the ball on the left side of the penalty area, no one came up to defend him.
!
Coutinho moved the ball horizontally, and then resolutely shot with his left foot!
This shot was another beautiful shot, spinning directly into the dead center of the goal!
Three to three draws! Southampton miraculously scored two goals in the last fifteen minutes of the game and snatched a point away from Chelsea!
Noriya jumped up from the coaching bench and hugged Coutinho who rushed down!
Although Coutinho's current level does not seem to be able to play the main role in Southampton, as a surprise player, he still plays a great role.
Even if everyone knows that he is a threat from long range in that position, it is of no use.
If you want to interfere with him, your defense line must be expanded.
Once the defense line is expanded, there will be more places available in the penalty area.
Having too many good players will always be of great use.
The final score of this game was 3 to 3. Although Southampton suffered two consecutive draws, it was also a good result to get two draws in London.
Although they lost the first place in the standings because of this draw, Noriya didn't care.
It is normal to have ups and downs now, but during this period of time, we have encountered strong teams intensively and better scored the points we should score, which is the most important thing.
Although I didn’t win these two games, I didn’t lose either. At least I only got one point by dragging my competitors with me, which is a victory in itself!
"Southampton's current offense is indeed very strong, but your offensive method has a very low fault tolerance rate." Mourinho couldn't help but sigh as he shook hands with Noriya.
"It's okay. It'll be no problem if you increase the number of attacks." Ji Ya shrugged.
Mourinho nodded. Since Ji Ya thought it was okay to do this, he wouldn't say much. In fact, at the end of the season, some professional coaches would chat with each other and discuss tactical issues to inspire inspiration, but that's not the case.
Everyone does this, and he and Ji Ya haven't gotten to know each other that well yet.
Two consecutive draws are not enough for Southampton to breathe a sigh of relief, because next is a double match in a week. They will face Aston Villa at home in the middle of the week, and on the weekend, they will welcome Manchester City at home.
challenges.
After playing Manchester City, it will be the final round of the Champions League, followed by consecutive matches against Newcastle and Tottenham in the league, and a League Cup quarter-final against Chelsea...
Then before Christmas, they have two more league games, against Newcastle and Tottenham. The two intensive games after Christmas are slightly easier, against Cardiff City and Everton.
The Premier League schedule is sometimes really not played by humans.
