After scoring the goal, Suarez made persistent efforts in the next game.
Shortly after the start of the second half, he received a pass from Mane after a breakthrough, cleverly took a shot in front of the opponent's defender, and drove the ball into the blind corner.
Before the end of the game, he sent out a beautiful assist without taking any credit, reciprocating the favor. Coutinho fired a powerful shot from the front of the penalty area, expanding the score to four to zero!
In two rounds, they beat Anderlecht 8-0.
This made Anderlecht's players look pale when they left the field.
They finally understood how good Southampton is as the defending champion.
In another game, Dortmund was not to be outdone. They beat Galatasaray 4-1 at home and won 8-1 in two rounds, which was no worse than Southampton's performance.
How many.
"Why is this guy competing with me? I will still beat you in the next game." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
Although after winning this game, Southampton, with nine points, has already qualified from this group stage two rounds ahead of schedule, but they still have competition with Dortmund. Noriya still wants to try his best to get first place in the group. Last season
The ending of almost playing with fire and being eliminated made him realize that there are always benefits to being first in the group.
At least the draw might be better. If you encounter a weaker team, unlike the second place in the group, you will definitely encounter a strong team...
And there is a new test this season, that is, the World Club Cup. The strength of the opponent itself is nothing. The standard of the American clubs has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, but taking ten days out of the busy competition to go to Morocco in Africa
Participating in the Club World Cup is already a huge pressure due to the schedule itself.
What's more, given the bizarre schedule of the Premier League, if the Club World Cup final is played, there will be three Christmas games in five consecutive days in just three days...
At first glance, this kind of schedule is not played by humans.
Teams from other leagues participating in the Club World Cup often do not have such a difficult time because they have the winter break as a buffer. The Premier League teams are relatively miserable in this regard. In the past, they were fine with only one game in the Toyota Cup, but later it was changed to the Club World Cup.
Cup, playing two games, the pressure becomes very great.
This can be seen from the championship of the Club World Cup. The first edition was in 2000, and then it was cut in half. It was not until 2005 that the competition was resumed. Until now, it has been played for ten editions. In these ten editions, Europe
The team has won six times, including five consecutive championships in between. However, among these six championships, only Manchester United in 2008 was a Premier League team.
Of the remaining four South American championships, three were against Premier League teams.
In 2000, Corinthians won the Triple Crown against Manchester United. In 2005, Sao Paulo defeated Liverpool. In 2012, Chelsea interrupted the European team's feat of five consecutive Club World Cups. They also lost to Corinthians...
Only in 2006 was Barcelona lost to Internazionale in the final.
This data is enough to prove that the Club World Cup is extremely stressful for Premier League teams.
Otherwise, they would not have won four Champions Leagues in ten years, but only one Club World Cup.
If Southampton wants to win its second Club World Cup title in the Premier League, it must perform better.
"If there is really no other way, I can only give up on the league for a while." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
But they said they gave up, but now, they have no reason to give up.
In the next round of matches, Southampton will face Leicester City at home.
"That guy Du Yue's performance is pretty good." Ji Ya said to Benali with some surprise.
"Ten appearances and two goals are pretty average," Benelli said.
"You have to look at his other performances. He was originally a pure shooter, but since the beginning of this season, he has begun to change his playing style. He pulls out of the penalty area to catch the ball, breaks through, and pulls out and sets up the sides. He has begun to become
More versatile and more alert, this kind of striker is what everyone needs." Ji Ya said with a smile.
Indeed, Leicester City's main forward this season is the Argentinian Ulloa. He scored six goals in the first six games and his performance was amazing, so he occupied the position of the only forward forward, while Du Yue
Then he began to ambush behind him, constantly appearing in the back or even on the left. This was not his best position. However, under such circumstances, he became more comprehensive, able to get the ball and
He can break through, pass the ball, and respond. Although he only scored two goals, he showed extremely good condition and adaptability.
"When this guy becomes more and more accustomed to being a forward, he will perform even better." Ji Ya chuckled.
He was very confident about this, after all, his training plan cost Ji Ya a total of ninety-nine achievement points!
This is a bit more expensive than De Bruyne!
He was inconspicuous before because he had to completely change his position, and Ji Ya also saw the training plan. It was so heavy and complicated that it was difficult for him to be confident. The first stage was to practice shooting ability, and then he had to practice passing and breakthrough.
His ability to respond, organize, distribute the ball, etc. is simply to train him as if he were Messi.
But who can prove that this little guy will not become the next Messi?
In addition to Ulloa and Du Yue, Leicester City is also worth noting the right winger Mahrez. This 23-year-old winger from Algeria joined Leicester City midway through last season.
He has become a booster for Leicester City's upgrade. His assists and breakthroughs on the wing are very effective, and his cooperation with Du Yue is also very good.
In addition, there is veteran Cambiasso in the midfield. His experience is very helpful to the relatively young Leicester City. Drinkwater, who joined from Southampton, also firmly occupies a main position.
Defender Morgan is a strong player, and coupled with the once-favored goalkeeper Schmeichel, Leicester City is still very good despite being a newly promoted team.
And they, like Southampton back then, have many talented young players.
"However, they have not scored in three consecutive rounds recently and have not won five consecutive games. Their condition is not very good. This is a good opportunity for us to defeat them." Benali said.
Ji Ya nodded. The recent misfire of Ulloa is a key to Leicester City's inability to score goals and victory. However, he is also a little worried. If Ulloa misfires, will Du Yue take advantage of the situation? After adapting to the Premier League
After a more comprehensive performance, this guy won't have a big explosion when facing himself, right?
Although Ji Ya really wants to see this kid explode, it would be very unpleasant if he explodes when facing himself...
"But we just need to score more goals." Noriya thought in his mind.
