Chapter 32 Everyone Knows Well

In terms of wing defense, Southampton is indeed average.

In fact, the offense is average.

Whether it is Otsmobo or Mills, they are ordinary players, the results of Southampton's youth training, not particularly outstanding players. To put it bluntly, they will stay at Southampton, but they have nowhere to go.

Southampton will use them because there are no stronger players available except them.

After all, full-backs are really hard to buy.

Therefore, on both wings, they can defend as much as possible to prevent the opponent from cutting inside the penalty area.

In the middle of the penalty area, Lovren stared at Carew, while Perry continued to fill in. Walton retreated into the penalty area to mark Agbonlahor. After all, if he wanted Perry to mark Agbonlahor, the opponent would come.

After running back and forth a few times, he would be exhausted...

So now Southampton's formation has actually become five-three-two, with five full-time defensive players and the remaining five assisting in defense and preparing to attack.

This is actually a very unprofessional approach, but under the current situation on the court, it has managed both offense and defense.

Davis performed quite well. He first saved Young's shot from the corner of the penalty area, and then used his foot to block a poke from Agbonlahor in the penalty area.

Milner had a long shot that was very threatening, but Lovren blocked the ball with his body.

Seeing that they could not attack for a long time, Villa's attack began to become more fierce, which also gave Southampton a chance to counterattack!

It's not that Vera doesn't know this truth, but at this time, they can only keep attacking, otherwise they really have no chance.

This is also a kind of gambling.

However, their gamble failed.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Perry destroyed the ball in the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Schneiderlin passed the ball directly into the frontcourt. Giroud controlled the ball and then dribbled the ball forward. Lallana high-speed

After plugging in, Giroud accurately delivered the ball to his feet. Lallana forced his way into the penalty area and then passed the ball to the center. Lambert followed up and fired a volley without stopping the ball!

The ball roared into the top corner of the goal, and the Villa goalkeeper cried out in vain!

"Okay, I've won this game!"

Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously. Vera's strong attack ability was already average, but now it is even more average...

Noriya quickly replaced Mkhitaryan with Lieutenant to strengthen the defense of the midfield. After a while, he sent James to replace Lambert to continue to strengthen the defense of the midfield.

After the protection in the midfield was thick enough, Southampton's defense began to become more solid.

Aston Villa tried all their methods but failed to score. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Noriya began to hug the assistant coaches around him.

"We're in the quarter-finals of the League Cup!" Le Tissier seemed to have regained the passion he had as a player, cheering with his hands raised high.

"Hahaha, Matthew, don't worry, this is just the beginning!" Ji Ya laughed.

He understood Le Tissier's mood. Although Le Tissier gave everything for Southampton, he failed to win any honors. In the league for more than ten years, the highest ranking was only seventh, even in Europe.

I have never played in a game, and I have never made it to the finals of the FA Cup and League Cup...

This is also Le Tissier's biggest regret.

Now if I can get some decent honors as an assistant coach at Southampton, it will be able to fill Le Tissier's biggest regret!

Le Tissier calmed down quickly. He has always been a calm person.

He smiled sheepishly at Ji Ya, and he agreed with Ji Ya's words that this was just the beginning, and he was still far from getting the honor.

As long as you see hope, that's enough!

Now that Southampton has seen hope, isn't that enough?

"Southampton has reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup! In previous years, this would have been nothing. After all, as a Premier League team, it is not uncommon for Southampton to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup. But

Southampton is now a League One team! But they defeated three Premier League teams in a row and reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup! This performance is enough to make many Premier League teams feel ashamed..."

"Except for Southampton, the remaining seven teams in the League Cup this season are all Premier League teams! Except for Liverpool, which was defeated by Arsenal in the last round, all the strong teams have reached the quarterfinals. Manchester United, Manchester City,

Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham...the remaining two teams are Portsmouth and Blackburn! Will Southampton meet Portsmouth in the League Cup? Although these two teams are absolute mortal enemies,

But the number of fights is really not that many..."

After seeing the list of all the top eight, almost all reporters began to look forward to the arrival of a certain moment.

Obviously, the English Professional League is also very good at it.

In the draw for the quarter-finals, Southampton was drawn to Portsmouth!

"It's a good thing that we in League One can play at home all the way. I think the 220,000 Southampton people have been looking forward to this game for a long time."

After knowing the result of the draw, Ji Ya accepted an exclusive interview with the sports section of the Southampton Evening Post and said something that was not nutritious but enough to make the people of Southampton excited!

This new boss is also very good at it!

Everyone in Southampton thinks so.

But considering that Southampton's senior executives have come out to prove that Ji Ya is a loyal Southampton fan, this seems to be nothing!

You must know those people who testified at the time, former chairman Lu Wei, former executive Wilde, former youth training director Walter... They have all left the club, but they still helped Ji Ya speak like this. Obviously it was not out of profit.

Yes!

Just because of this interview, Southampton fans' favorable impression of Ji Ya will increase a lot.

However, Noriya knows that such a favorable impression is obviously unstable. Only by achieving real good results can the fans' favorable impression of him truly increase.

What is a good result? In this season, the most urgent good result is to return to the English Championship!

However, the quarter-finals of the League Cup will have to wait until early December. Next, Southampton's focus is still on the league, as well as the FA Cup and English Championship games that are about to start.

Although they are a League One team, they have quite a lot of games to play.

However, perhaps the consecutive wins in the Champions League and the league made their condition worse. In the next round of the league, Southampton did not extend their winning streak to eight games. They went to London to challenge LeBron James.

Dongfang Dunfang ended up drawing 2-2 with the opponent in the away game, ending their winning streak.
