Southampton's substitutes performed very well in a game the following weekend.
It is actually not easy to challenge Sunderland, who are at the bottom of the Premier League, away from home. After all, although they are at the bottom, they are not completely hopeless in relegation. They were able to draw with Manchester City before, which proves their strength, and even if they are going to be relegated, Sunderland
The players still hope to perform well in the FA Cup and get a chance to stay in the Premier League - even if the team is hopeless, it does not mean that they are also hopeless.
So with this mentality, Sunderland's performance was quite good.
The first half ended with a score of 0-0. Sunderland scored just two minutes into the second half. They even almost kept the lead until the end. However, Coutinho and Vardy teamed up to equalize the score. First, Coutini
Austria's long-range shot made the opponent take away, and then Vardy equalized with a supplementary shot...
This draw forced Southampton to drag the game into a make-up match. This did not matter to Southampton, because Ji Ya must have sent all substitutes to play. Even if some substitutes cannot play, he will be transferred from the youth team.
A group of players can fill in the deficiencies of the players without letting the main force damage their physical fitness.
It seems good to let the substitutes practice one more game.
The next thing that attracts the most attention is of course the Champions League quarter-finals.
The four teams in the Premier League are divided into two groups. Needless to say, Southampton’s opponent is Bayern, Manchester City’s opponent is Barcelona, but Manchester United and Chelsea’s opponents are not strong, respectively Olympiacos and Canada.
Ratasaray, but Southampton and Manchester City seem to be unable to say anything unfair. Who prevented them from finishing first in the group?
"Bayern Ribery is out due to injury, which is a good thing for us. His substitute should be Shaqiri, but the Swiss is also out due to injury, so who Guardiola will send to play on the left is also a question.
It’s a matter of concern. He may let Robben play on the left, and then hand the right to Rafinha who is mentioned in the midfield. The Brazilian’s assist ability is already very good,” Benali said.
"I think it's unlikely." Ji Ya shook his head, "In this case, both sides will actually be replaced, which is not good for Bayern, and their attack on the right is very complete. In this way,
Come and break up the combination on the right, so maybe he will let Gotze play here, anyway Gotze seems to be decent on the wing."
"Then this side is our opportunity. Gotze basically can't defend." Benali said.
"Indeed, Klein and Lukaku can ravage them on this side... Of course, we must first gain enough advantages in the midfield." Noriya nodded.
Ji Ya has actually been preparing for this game for a long time. Bayern's lineup has been newly strengthened this season, mainly because Gotze joined Bayern. However, in fact, his position conflicts with Muller and Thiago.
There are also some conflicts, so in fact Gotze's position is not fixed.
You know, even Muller can't guarantee the main position in Guardiola's new lineup...
"Four one four one, hum, look at me using four three three to deal with you, Barcelona's ball control and passing are not that strong anymore, let alone Bayern." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
Ji Ya has always admired Guardiola. After all, Guardiola's tactics have inspired him a lot. He also knows that Guardiola wants to try out his new tactical ideas at Bayern.
During the time the ball was in Barcelona, it had reached its limit, and we had to find a new way out. Increase the ball possession and movement, and add tactical details. This is the way to go.
There will no longer be a set of tactics that can conquer the world without too many changes.
Guardiola is a top head coach who is innovative. His high-pressing and ball-controlling tactics have directly raised the pace of European football to a higher level. This is a tactical innovation that can be recorded in history, but if he enters the dead end of ball-controlling
If so, I'm afraid he will be in great pain next.
Noriya felt that he could defeat him through outstanding performance, allowing him to end this pain early, focus more on details, and return to the traditional game where each game requires targeted arrangements.
Another way is to improve training methods and enhance the players' strength, so that they can naturally take advantage of them in the game.
Southampton has performed well this season, not only because of their reasonable tactics, but also because the players' strength has improved a lot in Jiya's training, which is also a key factor. In addition, there are three real top players among the new players, so poor performance is called
What the hell.
In the final analysis, the game still depends on the players. Good tactical arrangements can increase the performance of the players. However, if you take a group of youth team players to play in the Champions League, no matter how strong the coach is, it is impossible to achieve good results.
For Bayern players who are well-informed, they should not care about small cities like Southampton. After all, Munich is also a big city, backed by the state of Bagheria, which has the strongest economy in Germany.
The district has a population of 1.3 million, and the entire metropolitan area has a population of nearly 3 million, making it one of the leading large cities in Europe.
In comparison, Southampton is indeed just a small city.
But Southampton Club is something they will not and cannot underestimate.
Even if they were the European Champions Cup champions last season... Southampton was also the European League champions, and in the European Super Cup before the start of the season, they almost defeated Bayern. If they hadn't equalized the score at the last moment, then
If they win through a penalty shootout, then Bayern will lose that game.
It was a fluke that Bayern won that game. Under such circumstances, Bayern's players would certainly not underestimate Southampton.
Bayern's performance in the Bundesliga this year has been disappointing. After 22 rounds of the Bundesliga, they have won 20 games, drawn only two, scored 61 goals, and conceded only nine goals.
The points reached 62 points, while the points of other Bundesliga teams seemed like novices pecking each other. The second place was Leverkusen with 43 points, the third place was Dortmund with 42 points, and the fourth place was Schalke 04.
Forty-one points...
This kind of dominance is simply disappointing.
Under such circumstances, their Bundesliga championship is basically in hand. No one can come back from being close to 20 points behind and win the championship with only twelve rounds left in the league. A dozen points is already amazing.
.
Therefore, the Champions League has become Bayern's most eager game. Even if they relax in the league, the championship is basically achieved. There is only the Champions League. No one has done it since the Champions League was restructured. Bayern this season
With such a huge advantage in the Champions League, they can certainly think about defending the Champions League!
