"Do they think they are good at scoring goals? Don't look at us who score the most goals in the league now! Let them see in the next round. Even if we rotate some players, the goals scored are not what they can match!"
Noriya shouted at the players on the training ground, and the players who were aroused by him waved their fists in response to his shouts.
Indeed, they have now scored 87 goals in the league, one more than Manchester City, seven more than Liverpool, and a full 25 more than Chelsea!
Not only can they not lose in points, they can't lose in terms of number of goals scored either.
You must know that Manchester City is now several points higher than Southampton in terms of goal difference. Their recent form has been too good, and Southampton has begun to concede more goals recently. If this continues,
There is also a lot of pressure.
So in the next round, while Manchester City is about to face Arsenal, Southampton has to win a few more goals.
After another week of rest - this may be the last rest of the season. After all, April is coming next. Even if there is no FA Cup game, the games this month will be super intensive.
Southampton welcomes Newcastle at home.
Newcastle performed very well at the beginning of the season, and their ranking was relatively high, but now their true colors have been exposed. They have now slipped to ninth place, more than 20 points behind Southampton, and are basically no longer there.
It’s considered to be on the same level.
Noriya has undergone a certain degree of rotation this round.
Rudiger was sent on the right back, midfielder Matic replaced Casemiro's midfielder position, Nolito started as the left forward, Ronaldo switched to the right, and Lukaku took a rest.
Such a lineup, with four main players replaced, did not have much impact on Southampton's performance.
Newcastle could withstand Southampton's crazy attack at the beginning of the game, but after Southampton continued to tear apart their defense through passes, they gradually became unable to withstand it.
However, they have been persisting. If they can persist until the end of the first half without conceding a goal, then there is still hope for this game.
However, in the 45th minute, they lost the ball.
Matic completed a steal in the midfield and then passed it to Ronaldo on the right. Ronaldo passed the ball into the penalty area. Suarez got the ball first and then pretended to shoot, luring the opponent's defender to fly to block it, but he made an emergency stop and blocked it.
He dunked the ball, continued to shoot, and hit the ball into the dead center of the goal!
One to zero, Southampton broke the deadlock before the end of the first half!
After breaking the deadlock, the next game seemed to be a matter of course...
Five minutes after the start of the second half, De Bruyne made a direct pass, and Ronaldo faced the goalkeeper and scored with a single shot.
In the 70th minute, Mkhitaryan volleyed from the front of the penalty area and scored, 3-0.
Before the end, Suarez scored twice again. Nolito crossed the ball in the penalty area. Suarez followed up and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal. It was 4-0. Southampton won a big victory at home!
Suarez's brace in this game was his thirteenth consecutive round of scoring goals. In these thirteen rounds, he had four braces and scored a total of 17 goals. This also allowed Suarez to score twice.
His number of goals in the league this season suddenly increased to thirty!
Another shooter to break the 30-goal barrier after Van Persie!
Only thirty-two rounds of the league have passed.
He has six games left without playing!
In other words, he only used 26 games to score 30 league goals. This kind of efficiency is second to none in the entire Premier League era!
Can he break the record of 34 goals in a single season in the Premier League set by Shearer and Andy Cole? Since the establishment of the Premier League, these two people have scored the most goals in a single season, and with such a record, even Ronaldo,
It was not possible to break it at that time.
Ronaldo only scored 31 goals at that time!
"There are still six rounds of the league, and it's hard to say what will happen... But what we are focusing on now is the issue of league points. This round, Manchester City tied and Chelsea lost. This is the most happy thing for me. We are now in
I am making rapid progress in the Champions League and the league, this is the honor I desire most."
Suarez said at the press conference after the game that reporters could only sigh that Ji Ya is really capable of running the army. Players like Suarez are honest in the club...
In fact, Noriya knows that this is not his own fault, but that Suarez is such a player. His mood is often a little unstable, but now that the team's results are good and he is performing well, how could his mood not be the same?
stable?
Apart from this, Suarez is actually a very easy player to get along with...
Chelsea's loss in this round was obviously affected by the Champions League. Mourinho took the risk of coming off the bench but did not get good results. Southampton's points now reached 74 points, leading the second-placed team.
Manchester City has three points, and Liverpool and Chelsea both have 69 points. Liverpool has been very strong recently, but because they have pulled up a lot of points in front of them, their chances are not very great now. After all, they are still five points behind Southampton.
That's a lot.
Southampton will have two games against Barcelona next, and between these two games, they will play against Manchester City, which is second in the league... Such a schedule is simply a kind of torture, especially since Manchester City is already in the league.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, they can accumulate all their physical strength to deal with Southampton...
"The Champions League must come first now, and the league... we have to guarantee it too!" Ji Ya waved his arms and said loudly.
The players have actually come to their senses at this time. What else is there to say at this time? There are still five games left in the Champions League and six games left in the league. If we continue to fight one game after another, there will be eleven games. There are still two games left.
Eleven games in two months, is that a lot?
The next game against Barcelona is an away game first and then a home game.
This season is quite unlucky for Barcelona. Their main goalkeeper Valdes was seriously injured in February and has to be sidelined for a year. However, under such circumstances, they cannot sign any more signings, so they can only use a substitute goalkeeper.
To finish the rest of the game.
Although Pinto is also a good goalkeeper, he is just fine for playing in La Liga, but not suitable for playing in the Champions League.
Southampton's offensive ability is a bit of a headache for Pinto to resist.
Moreover, Barcelona's head coach position has been in chaos in the past two years. After Guardiola announced his departure last season, Vilanova was the coach last season. This coach from La Masia did a pretty good job, although he lost the Champions League.
However, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of the season and had to leave his job to seek medical treatment. The head coach this season was Martino. Under his command, Barcelona's strength also declined significantly.
