"Southampton's defense also has some problems. How could it be penetrated by a direct pass like this...Romero is a little reckless. He should not have to foul."
The commentator commented that Romero was a little dumbfounded when he saw the red card. He actually wanted to block the opponent's attack this time, but his movements were a bit bigger.
Jiya sighed, then called Gulacchi and asked him to prepare to play. Then he replaced Vardy in the frontcourt, and Southampton prepared to retreat to defend.
This can also be regarded as a test of their defense.
The Southampton fans shouted loudly. They cheered Gulacchi and hoped that he could repeat the feat of saving penalty kicks after coming on as a substitute last season.
However, due to the rush, Gulacchi did not make such a save, and the opponent hit a penalty kick to regain a point.
In the following time, Galatasaray, who had a numerical advantage, began to suppress Southampton and launch attacks, while Southampton began to defend the penalty area.
Galatasaray has several players with excellent long-range shooting ability, such as Melo and Sneijder. However, under such circumstances, Gulacchi began to show his level, constantly blocking the opponent's shots through saves.
He is tall and long-armed. After a season of training and playing games from time to time, he has begun to recover. He has also played in rotation this season. Playing at this time does not make him feel unfamiliar with the game.
In the next half hour, Galatasaray shot up to eight times and hit the door frame four times, but Gulacchi saved them all one by one.
In addition to standing steady in front of the goal as always, his attacking ability also seems to have improved a lot. The opponent had a nearly one-on-one attack, but he struck out in time and saved the ball.
"Peter is making rapid progress." Ji Ya said to Benelli in surprise.
"Yes, he has improved very quickly this year. Now our goalkeeper has double insurance." Benelli said cheerfully.
Ji Ya nodded thoughtfully. Both goalkeepers are excellent. This is indeed a headache. However, it is not without benefits. At least the two goalkeepers will not have any problems in training themselves.
of laziness.
Just adjust it yourself.
Gulacchi is a very professional goalkeeper, and Romero is actually not bad in this regard. Romero has played in the World Cup finals, but has only played in Serie A. For him, it is very important for him to strive for some decent honors.
desire.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Southampton fans breathed a sigh of relief. They still won the game without any danger, 4 to 1 at home. If it hadn't been for the red card and
If it were a penalty kick, Southampton would definitely win.
In another game, Dortmund also won by three goals. They swept Anderlecht 3-0 away from home. The two weak teams that tied in the first round both lost three goals in this round...
It's enough to prove that there won't be too much pressure on this group.
The teams in the second and third tiers really don't have much ability. The main thing now is to see who can win the first place in the group between Southampton and Dortmund.
After returning to the league, Southampton ushered in Tottenham - Tottenham's performance this season was not very good. After six rounds, they only scored eight points. After the first two consecutive wins, they have been winless in four rounds, and Southampton
Compared with the recent five consecutive victories, it is simply too far behind.
However, Pochettino's transformation of Tottenham has already begun.
With Dembele and Capoue assisting in the midfield, Eriksen can fully utilize his characteristics of personal scoring and final passing. Lamela and Chadli on the wings bring them skills and speed.
Advantages, and most importantly, their defense seems to be starting to solidify.
The only thing that gives Pochettino some headaches is the position of the single center. Adebayor performed well, but there were some ups and downs, and Soldado was not useful. Although there is a young center Kane on the bench, but the last one
He has only been stable in the Tottenham first team this season and scored three goals in ten appearances. Does he have this ability?
This is where Pochettino is more hesitant.
In this game, Tottenham performed very well.
Facing Southampton, who was not very physically fit, Tottenham used active running and constant attacks, which strongly affected Southampton's defense.
Seeing that the scene was a bit passive, Noriya was not very anxious. After all, Tottenham's starting center Adebayor was obviously not in good condition in this game. He was entangled by Wundt and was not able to create very good opportunities.
come out.
If the center can't score goals, it's useless no matter how exciting the other positions are.
However, Southampton is also in this situation. Their center Vardy is not in good condition in this game. He is not able to grab points in the penalty area and does other tasks in general.
Noriya is not too worried about this, because Southampton has many ways to score goals, and it is not just Vardy who relies on him.
Lukaku and Coutinho are all very stable scorers. Even if Mane is rotated by Perisic in this game, they do not lack scorers.
Sure enough, before the end of the first half, Coutinho found an opportunity and used a beautiful long shot to help Southampton take the lead.
Ji Ya breathed a sigh of relief. In such a stalemate, scoring first is often the beginning of victory.
However, Tottenham were not discouraged in the second half of the game.
Pochettino replaced Harry Kane and replaced Adebayor.
This substitution has an immediate impact.
Compared with Adebayor, Kane does not seem to be that strong or intimidating, but his center skills and agile movement in the penalty area are quite outstanding.
After seeing several of his balls, Ji Ya was stunned.
"Oops, this guy has improved a lot compared to last season. I really didn't expect him to perform like this..." Ji Ya said with some surprise.
When selecting a center last season, Ji Ya had not failed to notice Kane, who had just been taken back by Tottenham. But at that time, what Southampton needed was an immediate top striker, whether it was Lewandowski or Suarez.
For this purpose.
After all, last season Southampton not only had to train new players, but also had to perform well.
Facts have proved that his choice was right. The joining of Suarez gave Southampton a top shooter.
However, after seeing Kane's performance this season, Noriya realized that he might have made a mistake.
This is a local striker. If he can perform well, he will be enough to become the club's flag and benchmark.
It's a pity that although he only came on as a substitute in every game before, it seems that Pochettino just wanted to let him adjust his condition better.
Even if he uses Kane so carefully, he won't let him go easily.
