Southampton launched a wave of attacks in the following time.
Adrian is off the field, and Diego Costa is off the field as well. Atletico Madrid's frontcourt offense actually no longer exists, and only Turan is left to launch some attacks. Under such circumstances, Southampton's offense
Of course there is no need to worry.
The two full-backs began to move forward boldly to strengthen the attack on the wing. Ronaldo returned to the midfield to help break through with the ball and use long shots to find opportunities. Lukaku rushed into the penalty area and used his height and strength to cover
Suarez's movement.
Southampton's offensive capabilities began to be fully demonstrated.
Facing Atletico Madrid, who have the strongest defense in Europe this season, Southampton showed what they can call the strongest offense in Europe!
Atletico Madrid currently scores the most goals in the five major leagues, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona are slightly behind. The closest domestic goal scorer to them is Manchester City, but after 36 rounds, Manchester City has scored 97 goals, and
Compared with Southampton, which has scored 102 goals, it is still a bit behind.
Barcelona in La Liga has scored 97 goals so far, and Real Madrid has scored 99 goals. Although these numbers are amazing, it is even more amazing that Southampton can beat them!
As for Atletico Madrid, their defense is indeed the strongest. They have only conceded 22 goals in 35 rounds in La Liga, an average of only one goal per game and a half. This is compared to the so-called Serie A team that is the best at defense.
, all appear to be exaggerated.
It has to be said that these two teams, which are not particularly famous in history, have shown surprising results this season.
Now, they have to fight to the end to see who can have the last laugh.
"Of course I am the one who laughs last." Ji Ya muttered in his heart.
From his current perspective, he can certainly see that Southampton's performance is now very stable, and their physical energy is also very abundant, because they control the ball most of the time in the game, which makes them consume much less energy.
Atletico Madrid's physical exertion is relatively large, of course, this is enough to last them until the end of the game.
Almost all members of Atletico Madrid are now on defense. What they are fighting for now is to see who can survive until the last moment!
If Atletico Madrid can not concede a goal, Atletico Madrid will win.
If Southampton can score, then Southampton wins.
It's very simple to choose one of the two.
The Southampton fans in the stands kept shouting and venting their enthusiasm, and at the same time, the players on the field fully felt their enthusiasm.
The thousands of Atletico Madrid fans who came from afar did not show any weakness. They used their roars to persevere through the suppression of Southampton fans and continued to support Atletico Madrid.
"Now the game is getting intense! But I'm a little curious, Ji Ya hasn't made any substitutions yet... Is he so confident in his main lineup?"
"Actually, if you think about it, there is really no need to substitute. Southampton's main players have been tested throughout the season, and their technical characteristics are also very suitable for dealing with the iron barrel formation. No matter who comes in, there will be no essential difference.
To change, it is better to choose to continue to believe in the players on the field."
The commentators commented one after another, but Ji Ya didn't care about anything else, but carefully observed the performance of the players on the field.
Although there is no need to make substitutions from a technical point of view, if there are problems with a player's performance and physical condition, then substitutions must be made immediately.
Klein received the ball from the right and broke through, then passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area. With everyone else being intensively marked, Wundt received the ball and suddenly took a long shot. Unfortunately for Courtois
Concentrated, he flew forward and lifted the ball over the baseline with one hand.
"Really...if it weren't for Courtois, we would have scored at least four goals." Benali slapped his thigh and said regretfully.
"A good goalkeeper is indeed very useful." Ji Ya nodded.
However, he is quite satisfied with the current goalkeeper and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Mkhitaryan took a corner kick, which was not taken very well. Courtois took the ball away after being struck.
Ji Ya shook his head. Mkhitaryan's movements were also a little deformed at this time, indicating that his mentality was not stable. Ji Ya looked at the bench, and then called Coutinho. The current substitute players are all continuing.
He was warming up and ready to play at any time, so soon, Coutinho replaced Mkhitaryan and quickly ran onto the field.
Atletico Madrid are still very concerned about Coutinho on the field. They all know that this guy's long shots in a certain area are very threatening. Although he seems to be average in other areas, such a guy must be good.
It's about guarding.
So soon, Koke got stuck on Coutinho, preventing him from getting the ball smoothly.
However, Noriya sent him on the field just to distract some of Atletico Madrid's defensive attention.
Defensive power is always limited. As long as it can be dispersed, other players will naturally have more opportunities.
Noriya would not naively expect a substitute player at this time, although this substitute also has the strength of the main force.
Players on the field tend to react more keenly. After Coutinho came on the court, Suarez, who was running in the penalty area, quickly noticed that he seemed to feel less pressure.
Just a little looseness is enough to give Suarez a certain amount of space!
At this moment, Klein once again moved forward from the wing.
De Bruyne took the ball, but he did not pass it to him naturally. Instead, he raised his right foot without warning and passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle!
An extremely beautiful arc!
A curve ball that was comparable to Pérez's curve back then. It drew a beautiful arc in the air and then flew into Atletico Madrid's penalty area!
Suarez made a large horizontal step away from Miranda's defense, then jumped to meet the falling ball at the back point, and then decisively shook his head to attack the goal!
Facing this close header, Courtois made a save but still failed to touch the ball!
Just when the Southampton fans were about to cheer, the ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar hard, then fell diagonally downwards, hit the small penalty area, and then bounced upwards...
The sighs of the Southampton fans were still in their throats. Godin had already rushed over from the side. Courtois, who was falling downwards, stretched out his hand in the air to hit the ball far away, and he headed the ball.
Suarez had already landed. When he saw the ball flying towards him, he immediately raised his foot and kicked the ball back again!
This time, due to the hasty exertion, there was not much force, but it was enough.
The ball roared into Atletico Madrid's gate, causing the net to tremble violently!
The sighs of Southampton fans turned into huge cheers in the blink of an eye!
