Chapter 308

When facing mid-table Aston Villa, Ji Ya boldly adopted an all-substitute lineup...

Goalkeeper Gulacchi, defenders Jenkinson, Rudiger, Bailly, Alonso, midfielder Matic, Schneiderlin, Drinkwater, forwards Nolito, Vardy, Klose.

This approach really surprised many people. This kind of large-scale rotation is relatively common in cup competitions. However, it is indeed unprecedented for the league to dare to do this. No matter how strong the overall team is, no one dares to do this.

Rotated.

But Ji Ya just did this.

Not only did he want the main players to concentrate on playing in the league, but he also wanted the substitutes to form a better understanding so that their main players could get a better rest in the final round of the Champions League.

As mentioned before, because Noriya is not a serious head coach, he often does some crazy things.

Under normal circumstances, this approach will be cruelly hit by reality, but because Southampton's substitutes are really good, the only difference is their experience, so when he does this, the effect is often very good.

After all, opponents sometimes don't expect them to do this.

Therefore, Aston Villa's tactical arrangements for this game all failed.

Originally, they were thinking about how to deal with Suarez and Lukaku, but Southampton chose Vardy and Klose.

Both forwards are very capable of grabbing points, but they don't really compete with defenders, which makes Aston Villa's defenders feel very depressed.

Coupled with the pairing of Nolito and Alonso on the left, their role in offense is still very good. The two Spaniards showed their skills well on this side. With Matic and even

With Schneiderlin helping them fill positions, Alonso and Nolito, who had no worries, let the Aston Villa players know what offensive ability is.

Nolito opened the scoring for Southampton after receiving Alonso's direct pass. Vardy and Klose also scored in the following games. Although Southampton's defense had some problems, it was defeated by Villa.

Agbonlahor and Delphi scored goals successively, but they did not cause too many problems in Southampton's victory.

With a score of 3 to 2, Southampton narrowly defeated their opponent at home. Although the process was very dangerous, it was really surprising that all the substitutes could perform like this.

After the game, Aston Villa's head coach was very unconvinced. He believed that if Southampton had not expected to send all substitutes, they would not have lost. However, there are no ifs in football. If Southampton did not expect this game, they would not have lost.

If Dun fails to win, Ji Ya might become a laughing stock, but now, all he can do is let him be awesome...

However, Kiya's risk taking is actually not random, because in three days, they will welcome Manchester City at home - Manchester City has been in quite good shape recently, and they have swept Tottenham 6-0 before, and they have gradually changed from

The discomfort at the beginning of the season has gone away. After all, Pellegrini is not a messy head coach, he is still quite capable.

"Pellegrini actually started rotating the goalkeeper position this season... Although Joe Hart's performance has been somewhat stagnant in the past two years, it's a bit funny. What a good goalkeeper needs is to continue to play. Do you think he can't do it?

, let’s get a new goalkeeper.” Ji Ya said to Benelli.

"Johart's development has indeed lagged behind in the past few years. Maybe I want to give him a little stimulation." Benali thought for a while and said.

"No matter what, Pantilimon's level is still a little lower. This is a good opportunity for us. He sometimes tends to overreact when making saves. Tell the players that they can fake a shot before shooting to induce him to react.

The only real shot is when there is more room." Noriya said to Benelli.

Benelli nodded, it's very simple, just do some surprise training during the next two days of training. The first team will have this kind of occasional intensive surprise training, usually to cope with some small tactical changes in the next game.

Therefore, this kind of tactical training is generally closed to avoid being discovered by opponents.

As for the other players, they are all old rivals. It's just Negredo replacing Dzeko's main position. Aguero is further back. At the same time, there is a more advantageous one, David Schier.

Watt has not played in recent rounds, which is also a damage to Manchester City's strength.

But considering that Manchester City has won consecutive games in these rounds, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

"Manchester City's overall strength is still very strong, but their tactics are not fixed. Unless other teams perform poorly, they are unlikely to become our competitors," Noriya told Benali.

Benali nodded. He still agreed with Ji Ya's judgment. Now it seems that Manchester United is probably going to die this season. Moyes can't suppress people, and his tactics are not as magical as Ferguson's. Arsenal and Chelsea are still

Liverpool's performance is very good, but Tottenham is still a little behind. This season's competitors should be mainly Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

However, Manchester City still gave Southampton a blow at the St. Mary's Stadium from the beginning.

In this game, they sent the partnership of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho in the midfield. This midfielder pairing is quite strong, which is a level higher than before. Milner on the wings is also very good at running.

It makes up for Nasri's shortcomings, so in terms of running ability, Manchester City's lineup is also amazing.

Under such pressure and confrontation, Southampton's midfielder was a little uncomfortable for a while - it is normal for Chelsea's midfielder to have this kind of intensity, but when did Manchester City become so strong?

From this perspective, the 40 million they spent on Fernandinho was really worth it.

Of course, Casemiro is worth only 6 million, which is even more valuable...

Manchester City took the lead in the tenth minute. Fernandinho intercepted the ball in the middle and launched a fast break. Nasri shifted to the center and started to break through. After attracting attention, he quickly distributed the ball to the left.

Kolarov, who was forward to assist, made a pass. He did not pass it directly into the penalty area, but to the edge of the penalty area. It was still a pass to the ball. After Aguero got the ball, he took advantage of the situation and rushed over to make up for it.

Otamendi, his compatriot, broke into the penalty area and scored with a sweep!

"Damn, this guy gets so excited every time he hits us."

Amidst the boos from the Southampton fans in the audience, Ji Ya couldn't help but curse.

That's right, since he led the team into the Premier League, Aguero has scored a goal almost every time he meets Manchester City...

This kind of thing is really very frustrating.

"It doesn't matter, let's attack and get the ball back!" Ji Ya shouted towards the court.
