After another week of rest, Southampton won again in the third round of the league.
They swept West Ham United 5-1 away from home. Coutinho scored twice, a long shot and a goal after breaking into the penalty area. Vardy scored again, and he also assisted Mane to score a goal.
Coupled with De Bruyne's icing on the cake, Southampton won quite easily.
Vardy scored in three consecutive rounds, which immediately amazed many people - Southampton still retains such a hand in love? Without Suarez, they can continue to advance relying on Vardy's goals?
And everyone can see that Vardy seems to have nothing, but in fact, his ability to grab points is quite good, and he also has excellent skills as a pillar center. Such forwards are actually very popular in the Premier League. In the past,
Shearer is actually this kind of striker.
However, can Vardy, a late bloomer, achieve the great achievements of Shearer?
It's hard to say yet.
After three rounds, Southampton disbanded on the spot, Romero, Gulacchi, Otamendi, Font, De Bruyne, Casemiro, Matic, Coutinho, Lukaku
, Mane and Perisic all went to the national team to report, but Suarez did not need to go because he was still suspended...
The poor Uruguayan can only maintain his condition through training at Southampton's training base. Because he was fined for four months and cannot have any football matches, he can only train. He can still do the team training matches.
He could play, but even if it was a reserve team game, he couldn't play.
Now everyone just hopes that the Uruguayan can learn enough lessons from this extremely severe punishment and will not do such stupid things again in the future.
After all, biting is beyond the scope of football, and it is not a malicious foul. It does no good at all, and the impact is very bad. It is just like a child, and it is really meaningless.
Suarez had honestly admitted his mistake to Ji Ya before, and then said that he would never make it again in the future.
In fact, his mentality has become very peaceful this year, and he doesn't know why he suddenly couldn't stop himself in that game.
After the team was disbanded, Noriya flew to Monaco to prepare for the Champions League group stage draw ceremony.
As the defending champion, Southampton is of course a first-tier team. They are on the same level as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Benfica, Atletico Madrid, and Porto.
Theoretically, it would be a bit difficult for a first-level team to encounter a death group.
But considering UEFA's stubbornness, Ji Ya really doesn't dare to have any illusions about their moral integrity.
The strong teams in the second tier include Dortmund, Juventus, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Schalke 04, while the strong teams in the third tier include Bayer Leverkusen, Bilbao, Ajax, Liverpool and CSKA Moscow.
, the stronger teams in the fourth tier are Roma and Monaco. Ji Ya can see several ways of death groups at a glance, such as Southampton and Dortmund, Ajax and Roma in the same group, or
Whether they are in a group with Paris Saint-Germain, Bayer Leverkusen, or Roma, or in a group with Juventus, Ajax, or Monaco, these are all ready-made groups of death.
However, in this draw, UEFA did something different.
It's not that they have a good impression of Southampton, but as the defending champion, they can't be given a group that is too outrageous. If they are eliminated in the group stage, they will not look good in the Champions League.
This will make it appear that the strong teams in the Champions League last season were all mentally retarded.
So although in the draw, they still threw Dortmund into Group D where Southampton was, the same group was Anderlecht and Galatasaray. Although these two teams are not small, they are now regarded as
As an underdog, Anderlecht has always been a scorer in the Champions League. They have reached the Champions League main matches only a handful of times. Although Galatasaray was once in Europe at the turn of the century.
They have achieved very good results on the field, but they are no longer what they used to be. They failed to win the Turkish Super League championship for four consecutive seasons. They finally won two league championships in 2011 and lost the league championship last season.
, his performance in the Champions League has never been very good, and he no longer has the dark horse spirit of the year.
The threat of such a team in the Champions League is actually very small.
So it can be regarded as UEFA's care for Southampton. After all, Suarez's suspension is really a disaster for Southampton. They have won the moral conduct award for several years, but because of the player's behavior in the World Cup
And having suffered such a huge loss, Southampton is also a victim.
But Suarez is also here at this draw ceremony. He is here to win the award. With 38 goals in the league last season, he won the European Golden Boot last season, and 13 goals in the Champions League.
, which allowed him to win the title of the best forward in the Champions League last season, because Ronaldo is the best player.
The best midfielder is Real Madrid's Modric, the best defender is Atletico Madrid's Godin, and the best goalkeeper is Atletico Madrid's Courtois. This makes Southampton fans very unconvinced. They think Southampton
If Dun is the champion, then of course there must be bonuses. The best midfielder should be De Bruyne, the best defender should be Font, and the best goalkeeper should be Navas!
Of course, this UEFA award is not judged based on impressions. Modric performed very well last season. Under the coaching of Ancelotti, he showed all the qualities of an all-round midfielder. Compared with him
, although De Bruyne's performance is also very eye-catching, it seems to lack a little bit of fire, and the performances of Godin and Courtois are indeed amazing. Godin's performance is more outstanding and eye-catching compared with Wundt. At the same time,
He is also the captain, and his leadership style is also heart-wrenching. Courtois can always make magical saves with almost no mistakes. Although Navas is not bad in this regard, his performance in the Champions League is still poor.
Some points were added mainly for his performance in the World Cup.
Noriya won the best coach without any suspense. It is impossible for the championship coach not to win this award.
In short, Southampton returned home with a full load this time.
"The draw result? I am very satisfied. Southampton is a first-tier team. Although this group is still very difficult, we will work as hard as last season. Dortmund? Klopp is my friend, but I am not
I will keep my hands on him. I have met them for three consecutive seasons, but fortunately, I feel fresh every time." Noriya said in an interview.
His last sentence made the reporters laugh. After all, in the past few years, Southampton's personnel have changed every season, and Dortmund's personnel have also changed every season. This is obviously what the freshness is about.
However, Southampton has been in the same group as Dortmund for three consecutive seasons, which is indeed fate.
