Pressure can make players uncomfortable, but it can also make players transform.
Just as Du Yue will definitely be under pressure after taking up the role of the main forward, De Bruyne wearing the captain's armband may also make him more responsible and tough on the court.
Just like Ji Ya said, De Bruyne is impeccable in everything else, but maybe he is not enough in terms of shouldering pressure and standing up at critical moments.
Now let’s see how well he can perform under the pressure of such a not-so-big scene.
De Bruyne, who obviously had a different temperament, led Southampton to launch a fierce attack in the following time...
He started to get the ball more, and then used his breakthroughs to create more opportunities.
In fact, he rarely breaks through frequently in games, because doing so consumes physical energy and affects his performance. He mostly uses passing balls to initiate offense, and then makes a few breakthroughs at critical moments to create opportunities.
Come.
But now, he began to make breakthroughs frequently.
When a player like him started to break through frequently, Villa's defense immediately felt tremendous pressure.
It was his pass after a forced breakthrough that allowed Southampton to equalize the score.
Casemiro received De Bruyne's pass and shot hard from the top of the penalty area, hitting the ball into the dead center of the goal.
However, in the following time, Southampton's offense repeatedly ran into obstacles in the face of Aston Villa's stubborn defense. In addition, they were also unlucky. Vardy had a shot that went over the goalkeeper, but was blocked by the defender who returned to defend.
Hooked it back.
Villa, who was sitting at home, finally showed their style as a veteran team. They tied Southampton 1-1 at home, giving Southampton their first draw of the season!
In this round of competition, Chelsea continued to hold strong. They defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home, extending their lead to four points.
"Chelsea's performance was so wonderful, and Southampton also stopped advancing in this round! But they did not rotate, but some accidents blocked them... Wundt's injury is said to be serious, Southampton's
There's going to be something wrong with the defense."
The media began to evaluate Southampton's performance, and felt that Noriya's signings in the summer were indeed a bit stingy. They did not add any central defenders. Now that Wundt is injured, their defense is indeed worrying.
"How about it? Is the back line not good? Let's forget about being second in the group." Klopp gloated and called Ji Ya...
"I think Immobile's performance is not very good. It's hard to fill Lewandowski's gap." Ji Ya replied calmly.
Ji Ya is still very concerned about the next Champions League match. Although he has already qualified in the group stage, he still has to strive for first place.
So even though the league was already four points behind Chelsea, he still sent out his main lineup in this game.
The captain's armband continues to be worn on De Bruyne's arm.
Wundt is injured and will have to rest for more than two months, and he won't be able to play until next year at least, so whether it's to straighten Bailly or let De Bruyne wear the captain's armband, we have to stick to it.
There will definitely be discomfort during this period, but you can only persevere.
After all, Wundt is also 31 years old. Although he is in good condition now, it is hard to say whether he can continue to perform like this in top-level competitions.
It is an inevitable trend that he will gradually fade out in the next time, so whether it is a new central defender or a new captain, it must be put on the agenda.
The Southampton fans at St. Mary's Stadium were still cheering loudly, hoping that the team could defeat Dortmund and win this game.
Dortmund also attaches great importance to this game. Klopp sent out his entire main lineup, even though they are at a disadvantage in the competition with Bayern in the league.
If you can get first place in the group, you may be able to take a step forward in the knockout rounds.
Regardless of whether you can win the championship or not, if you take one more step forward, that's money.
After all, only a few teams can get the honor, but when rankings represent money, all teams will work hard.
Except for Hummels who was injured and was replaced by Genter, the other main players all played. Subotic led the defense, midfielder Sven Bender, Gundogan, Shinji Kagawa, and wings Royce and Auba
Mei Yang, Immobile advance...
This lineup made Southampton suffer enough in the first round. Their frontcourt speed and counterattack ability were quite good, which happened to be difficult for Southampton's defense to deal with.
However, in this game, Bailly's starting lineup was just enough to stop Dortmund's attack.
His speed and tracking ability are much better, and coupled with his height and strength, he can prevent Immobile from playing his full role.
Moreover, Southampton also strengthened its defense on both wings in this game.
In addition, Southampton's running and interception in the midfield were even better. Casemiro targeted Shinji Kagawa, while Gundogan was beaten by De Bruyne on both offense and defense. He could not guard the front line.
If De Bruyne is attacking, he will be beaten to death by De Bruyne who is actively returning to defend...
De Bruyne is not a weak core midfielder, his running defense and confrontation ability are not bad.
With the advantage in the midfield, Southampton began to launch waves of attacks.
It only took a minute to start.
Cancelo threw a throw-in, which was thrown directly into the penalty area. Suarez protected the ball and passed it back to De Bruyne, who was responding. Then he turned around and inserted into the penalty area. De Bruyne directly picked the ball without stopping the ball. This
The pass passed Dortmund's entire defense in an instant. Suarez kept grabbing the ball before the attacking Weidenfeller and poked the ball into the dead center of the goal!
After taking the lead, Southampton continued to struggle with the opponent in the midfield. Both sides ran actively and made great confrontations. Soon, Dortmund's Subotic and Southampton's Casemiro scored successively.
A yellow card was given. Although it was not a flagrant foul, it also proved the intensity of the game.
Dortmund launched some attacks in the following time, but they were all blocked by Southampton. Their most threatening attack in the first half occurred in the 37th minute. Piszczek, who advanced to assist,
The header came down from the penalty area, and Shinji Kagawa caught the ball and shot. After being interfered by Casemiro, the ball still flew towards the goal. Gulacchi quickly made a sideways save and suppressed the ball under his body.
"Well done." Noriya waved his fist. Whether it was defense or offense, Southampton's abilities made him happy. Although Bailly was young, his performance was still outstanding. After all, he was already twenty years old.
