"Wucao, this guy Giroud has such a kick, I really didn't expect..."
Ji Ya cursed in the audience, then stood up and made a gesture to indicate a counterattack first, and then start to defend.
Conceding the ball in the second half was actually quite detrimental to Southampton's defensive tactics. After all, under such circumstances, Anxin's bottom line had some problems. Leading by two goals would be a lot more certain. Now we are only ahead by one.
That's really hard to say.
Southampton launched an attack, and Arsenal began to run and press like crazy. Relying on their physical advantage, they gradually regained their disadvantage.
Wenger is not blind. Of course, he can see that Southampton's advantage in the first half came at the cost of physical fitness.
Amid Arsenal's pressing, Southampton's offense seemed to be struggling. After all, their physical fitness has indeed declined and they cannot maintain the same intensity of ball control as before.
So when the opponent was pressing, Southampton started to pass the ball backwards. They started to pass the ball more at the back, and Arsenal also had to press forward.
At this moment, De Bruyne, who retreated to the midfielder position, turned around while receiving the ball, then raised his foot and sent a beautiful overhead ball!
The ball flew to the frontcourt, and Lukaku began to sprint madly!
In the first half of the positional battle, Lukaku didn't show too much strength, but now, with enough space, Lukaku's running begins to look unstoppable!
After overturning Mertesacker and Monreal on the run, no one could stop Lukaku's progress. The Belgian received a pass from De Bruyne before rushing into the penalty area, and then a
Speeding up, he passed the attacking Szczesny, then kicked the ball into the empty goal...
Huge cheers erupted from the stands again!
The worries of Southampton fans have now been settled. Do you want Arsenal to counterattack? Come on, let’s see if our counterattack can beat you to a pulp...
But Arsenal had no other way, they could only counterattack.
Under the tireless attack, they finally recovered one point again in the 63rd minute. After receiving Flamini's direct pass, Ozil completed a beautiful breakthrough. He got rid of the tall Rudy.
He then cut into the penalty area. Rudiger chased back hard and blocked his direct shot or pass into the penalty area. However, Ozil dunked the ball back and then passed it to the top of the penalty area. The follow-up card
Sola shot directly into the air and the ball roared into the dead center of the goal.
Three to two, Arsenal recovered one point.
However, this wonderful goal was not enough for Arsenal to get a point in the away game. Just one minute later, Southampton played another beautiful attack. Luke Shaw's long pass from the backcourt accurately found Suarez.
Suarez broke into the penalty area after receiving the ball, and then passed the inverted triangle to the front of the penalty area. Casemiro followed up and pushed the ball directly without stopping, giving Southampton a two-goal lead again!
This was also the final score, 4 to 2. Southampton defeated Arsenal at home and tied with Arsenal in points!
"I'm very happy to win this game... This will be a very crucial game. We have lacked the experience to move forward in such a difficult environment before, but as I have always said, as long as Southampton can put the experience to use,
Make up for it, then it will be unstoppable...Arsenal will still be our competitor, we are just tied now, and Manchester City, Manchester City still has one less game to play, we cannot say that we are already first in the league, Chelsea and Liverpool
The gap between us is very small, the competition in the Premier League is very fierce, it is the most difficult league in the world."
Noriya seemed cautious at the post-match press conference, while Wenger admitted that Southampton played better, but Arsenal will continue to persevere.
Southampton fans are paying attention to the last game of this round. They hope that Tottenham can give Manchester City a good look at home. However, Tottenham's performance disappointed them. Manchester City beat them five to one in the away game.
Arriving at the top of the standings with 53 points.
"Manchester City really surprised me this year. Although we beat them one game... they can always score big scores against strong teams. Although they are not as stable as us, they are still very threatening." Noriya said thoughtfully.
explain.
"I said the competitors were Chelsea and Liverpool before, but now there's Manchester City?" Benali couldn't help but laugh.
"All the strong teams in Big6 are our competitors." Ji Ya said seriously.
Benelli couldn't help laughing.
All joking aside, there will be a relatively intensive schedule next, especially when the Champions League is about to start in February, which will be a huge test for Southampton.
They need to show their best under such circumstances.
Next are three consecutive league games against Fulham, Villa and Hull City, and then the next weekend is the fifth round of the FA Cup. After this game, it is the first leg of the Champions League knockout round.
here we go.
Noriya's goal is to win all three league games - after all, these three opponents are not strong, and they are all low-ranking teams.
If you can't actively score points against such a team, winning the championship will be empty talk.
Of course, Noriya is not too worried about Manchester City. After all, this season, the strong teams are actually fighting each other. Although Manchester City seemed to have experience in beating Arsenal and Tottenham, they lost to Southampton, so Liverpool and Chelsea
Such a team will also be a great threat to Manchester City.
It just so happens that in this round, Manchester City will face Chelsea at home.
Therefore, Noriya must lead his team to defeat Fulham first and put pressure on Manchester City in terms of points.
Fulham is currently ranked 19th and is already deep in the relegation zone. Although the points gap between the 11th and 20th places is only six points, the relegation battle is also very cruel to the naked eye, but with Fulham's
In terms of strength, if you want to compare with Southampton, it is still a bit behind.
At this time, the financial income of the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League is not as high as it was later. After all, after a year, the broadcasting fee for the teams at the bottom is only 30 to 40 million, which cannot make up for the huge difference in other income between them and the top teams.
Therefore, Southampton, which sent out all its main players, won easily in the away game. Not only did the front three score a goal each, Klein also scored. This right back rarely scores goals. This game
They scored goals in every game, which shows how big their advantage is.
After winning this game, Southampton surpassed Manchester City by 54 points and one point, returning to the first position in the standings. Then they can comfortably watch Manchester City usher in the home game.
Chelsea, and then I hope in my heart that Chelsea can be more powerful and try to give Manchester City a good look.
