Suarez scored twice, giving Southampton a 3-1 lead. However, Bayern did not give up. In the remaining time, they still launched a fierce attack. If they could recover a goal, they would try their best to recover it.
One ball.
Such tireless pursuit allowed them to recover a point in the 85th minute. Lahm sent a beautiful curve ball from the right, bypassing Southampton's two central defenders, and Muller dived over from the back point.
, the ball flew into Southampton's goal.
But this was just the last goal.
In the end, when the game ended, the score was locked at 3 to 2. Southampton won at home, while Bayern suffered a not too bad defeat.
"If it weren't for that red card, we would have won more easily at home... It was indeed a foul, but the red card was too strict. We will appeal and hope that the red card can be cancelled. Navas has always been a very stable player.
The goalkeeper, he has never committed any intentional fouls on the court. Southampton has never been a team that likes flagrant fouls. After I took office, Southampton has not received any red cards in the league. I
I think UEFA should also give some consideration to this aspect."
Noriya said at the post-match press conference that he was very annoyed by the red card, which broke the record of no red card in his coaching career - although this red card appeared in a Champions League game and did not
Not appearing in the league, his mission as a moral model has not failed, but it still makes him very annoyed.
However, what made Noriya unexpected was that this seemingly strict red card was not canceled in the end. Navas would still not be able to play in the next away game. However, it triggered a big discussion among the media and fans. They analyzed and searched
Watching Southampton's previous games, I discovered that Southampton has actually maintained a record of not having a single red card for more than four years...
To be precise, since Noriya took charge of Southampton, they have not received a red card in any game, not even in a friendly match. This red card is the first time.
After confirming this, the entire European football world is a bit about to explode. It is also surprising that there has been no red card for such a long time, because in modern football, card-taking is actually a skill, and it can improve the team's combat effectiveness.
It is an effective method, especially when Southampton is still playing in England. The Premier League has always been very active, and booking cards is also very common. It is really not easy for Southampton to maintain its innocence for more than four years under such circumstances.
.
In comparison, this UEFA referee is indifferent - is it easy for someone to insist on not receiving a red card, but you used such an ambiguous penalty to break their record of not receiving a red card!
For a while, UEFA was under great pressure from public opinion. Although they insisted that the red card was okay, they could only adopt their usual tactic of holding back until the public opinion subsided.
"Keroll, I hope you can understand that UEFA's penalty will definitely not be revoked, so you should take a rest during this period. I have to let Peter and the defense become more familiar." Ji Ya told Na in private.
Vas said.
Navas nodded. He also knew this. After all, Gulacchi was a substitute. He had only played less than ten times in various cup matches this season. Moreover, he was basically a substitute defense line in front of him, which could not be compared with the main defense line.
To get familiar with it, under such circumstances, of course you need to play more games to get familiar with it.
But he also knows that many substitute goalkeepers are promoted this way...
So he could only sigh in his heart and scold the referee for being disrespectful.
Three days later, in the twenty-seventh round of the league, Southampton challenged West Ham United away.
Gulacchi started the game. However, the difference between him and his opponent was that he saved a penalty kick in the last game. His performance in this game can only be said to be steady. He saved all the balls that should be saved. However, he was more tricky when facing the opponent.
He couldn't resist the shot, and Jarvis, Cole and Nolan each scored one goal. If Southampton's offense hadn't been as sharp as ever, they would have suffered an away defeat.
Suarez scored twice in a row, and center back Otamendi scored after the opening goal. Southampton grabbed a point in the away game and ended their six-game winning streak.
Other strong teams won one after another, and Southampton's advantage shrank to one point.
But Noriya doesn't care about this. This level has to be passed. If he doesn't train the substitute goalkeeper, he won't play in the second round?
If we can advance further in the Champions League, the benefits will be huge.
The next midweek was the fifth round of the FA Cup rematch. Southampton played against Sunderland at home. Navas started the game. He vented all his frustrations and made six goals in the game.
The save made all Sunderland's shots useless. Vardy and others in the frontcourt beat Sunderland into a sieve. Southampton swept Sunderland 4-0 at home and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In the next league game, Southampton welcomed Liverpool at home. Liverpool is currently ranked fifth, but they have won five consecutive games and their recent form is quite outstanding.
Southampton's players did not show weakness. Although Liverpool's offense was sharp, their defense was average. They liked to deal with such a team the most.
Liverpool's defense indeed failed to withstand Southampton's indiscriminate bombardment. Suarez opened the scoring, Lukaku and Mkhitaryan also scored, but Liverpool's crazy attack also allowed them to score three goals.
With the ball, Firmino and Sterling scored successively. Sterling created a penalty before the end, and Gerrard made the penalty kick. He also snatched a point away from the away game!
Two consecutive games suffered draws and six goals were conceded in both games. Although Gulacchi's performance did not make any mistakes, he still missed Navas a little bit...
Compared with Navas, Gulacchi seems to be lacking something.
Ji Ya was now a little worried that Gulacchi's mentality was unbalanced. However, after chatting with Gulacchi, Jiya found that Gulacchi did not have too many mood swings, but for him, such a situation
, it’s really nothing.
He has been on the bench at Liverpool for several years and has been loaned out. What kind of setbacks has he not experienced?
This little setback is nothing to worry about.
Seeing that Gulacchi's mentality was not affected at all, Ji Ya felt relieved. Under such circumstances, as long as there was no problem with his mentality, he was now a reliable goalkeeper even if his strength was inferior.
After two consecutive draws, Southampton slipped to second place. Chelsea overtook them by one point and Manchester City was only one point behind them. However, this round Arsenal was defeated by Stoke City and dropped to fourth in points. It has gradually
was left behind by a certain gap.
The competition for the league championship is starting to become more and more intense.
