Ji Ya was mentally prepared for the decline in his condition during this period.
After all, if you want to achieve good results in the cup, it will inevitably affect the results of the league, and Jiya also has a very bold idea - that is, if you can get the top two without taking the top two, you have to enter the English through the play-offs.
crown!
You know, Southampton has won the championship and runner-up of English League One in history, so getting the top two, apart from being promoted smoothly, does not have any other benefits. Instead, it is the play-offs - Southampton
He has never played in the play-offs in League One, let alone won the championship. Entering the Championship through the play-off championship will not only be more exciting, but also light up achievement points, allowing him to make a lot of money!
Of course, any mature head coach would not do this idea of Noriya - because it is too stupid to do so - the pressure of playing in the play-offs is not something that anyone can resist, and in the long-term
Playing in the play-offs after the league is even more torturous.
This is by no means the win-win situation imagined.
No one wants to play in the play-offs. Only those who really can't get the top two will fight in the play-offs.
But do you expect a person who was just an ordinary fan a year ago to understand this? Ji Ya is still very innocent now. He leads the team with the idea of playing games. When playing games, of course he must do it to perfection.
Rather than securing the most important goals first.
This is where Noriya still needs to grow.
However, this kind of thinking can make him more calm mentally.
After all, there are very few people who feel anxious when playing games.
In these four rounds without victory, Noriya was actually quite depressed. After all, he lost one game and drew one, and he couldn't get any achievement points, so he lost in vain.
Fortunately, during this period, the main players have been fully adjusted and rested, and in the next period of time, their condition will be better than before.
The state of a player is like this. There are peaks and troughs. If a trough has been reached, the peak is often not far away.
In the nineteenth round of the league, facing Wycombe Wanderers in the relegation zone, Southampton defeated their opponent with difficulty. Lambert's golden goal allowed Southampton to get a precious three points.
, got out of the quagmire of continuous invincibility!
After winning this victory, Southampton fans breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Before two consecutive cup games, especially before the important game against Portsmouth, the team began to gradually recover, which is of course a good thing!
The next week is another cup week. First, in the second round of the FA Cup on the weekend, Southampton plays an away game against Northampton. This season, we are destined to play against this English second-division team in the first round of the League Cup.
We went to Northampton, and now we meet again in the FA Cup.
Then midweek is the highlight at home against Portsmouth.
It is also their luck that Southampton can always play the League Cup at home. After all, the home and away games of the League Cup are determined by drawing lots. Kiya can draw the home team every time, which is already a lot of luck!
It's easy to tell which one is more important, the second round of the FA Cup or the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
Therefore, the team that went to challenge Northampton away from home was a pure substitute team, with the main players being left at home by Noriya to recharge their batteries.
This approach seems to look down on the FA Cup, but the FA Cup has only reached the second round, and no one cares about it. On the contrary, it is the match between Southampton and Portsmouth in the League Cup that makes people think
Pay more attention!
But without bringing the main offensive force to the away game, everything else is easy to say, but there is one missing player in the midfield and frontcourt who can drive the whole team.
There are players like this at Ji Ya's disposal, whether it's Lallana or Mkhitaryan, but they have to prepare for the League Cup, so it's really not cost-effective for them to go to Northampton.
Benelli made a good suggestion at this time.
"How about going to the youth team?" he suggested.
Ji Ya suddenly realized it, and then began to think that he was stupid, even forgetting Southampton's biggest treasure trove of youth teams?
So he turned around and went to the reserve team's training ground.
"God, you haven't been to the youth training ground for months. You used to stay here all the time."
After seeing him, Prost, the youth training director, came up and hugged Ji Ya, and then mocked him.
Looking at Prost, Jiya suddenly felt a little ashamed. He actually had no affection for Southampton's youth training camp, so much so that he ignored the "setting" that he started in the youth training camp.
So of course others would find it strange that he didn't go to the youth training camp for a few months after taking office.
However, there are also ready-made excuses: "Isn't it busy? I just took office and there are so many things to worry about. Now I have some time to take a look."
Prost actually agrees with this. After all, Ji Ya was only in the youth training camp before, but now most of the players in Southampton are ones he has never coached before. It is very laborious just to integrate the team, let alone the first team players.
There are more games.
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to the youth training camp today?" Prost asked.
"Needless to say, let's see if there are any good players you can recommend. It doesn't matter if you are younger. The important thing is to have good foot skills and be able to drive the whole team through breakthroughs. Now we have a heavy task in the game and we need a certain focus. Young people with outstanding personal abilities
Players will be very useful at this time." Noriya replied.
Prost laughed: "I knew you would not forget that guy... He is also performing very well in the reserve team. Although he is still very young, we are playing in League One now, and he can also play in the first team.
kicked."
Ji Ya was a little confused.
According to Prost, there is indeed a young talent in the reserve team that Kiya has been paying attention to for a long time, and he just meets Kiya's requirements.
But Ji Ya is confused now!
Fortunately, Prost didn't want to test Ji Ya or anything like that - no normal person would take the test like this. After all, in Prost's mind, this young man had been brought out by Ji Ya!
So he pointed to the field.
"Well, he happens to be on the field. Let's see how he has improved recently." Prost said.
Ji Ya turned his head to look at the training ground, and he was immediately attracted by a figure.
Noriya's vision now is different from when the season just started.
I have never eaten pork, but I have also seen pigs running away. After watching many outstanding players, and comparing them in my mind, I will know which players are indeed outstanding.
The black guy on the court now is a typical outstanding player.
"Looking at his movements when holding the ball, you can tell that he is an outstanding genius!" Ji Ya couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
