"That Kane performed so well, with two goals and two assists, which directly defeated Chelsea's defense... Gee, I didn't expect Tottenham to have such a young player," Benali said.
"Yes, he has completely put those two centers on the bench. He has scored five goals in the last five Premier League games and has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season. He is a rising star."
Ji Ya sighed.
In fact, he has been observing Kane for a while. Unfortunately, Southampton wanted a mature center last season. This summer, Noriya also tried to introduce Kane, and even wanted to package it with Walker.
Unfortunately, Tottenham rejected his request and offered Walker a sky-high price of 30 million pounds, while the price offered to Kane was 40 million pounds. Although Southampton made a lot of money this summer, they all had to pay for it.
It was left to the club to repair the stadium. Ji Ya really couldn't bear to spend so much money on two local players.
If Barcelona had taken action on Suarez earlier, Noriya might have sold Suarez for 60 to 70 million pounds and then bought Kane to train him.
It is a pity that now it seems that Kane has completely established himself in Tottenham, and it will be difficult to poach him next.
But Ji Ya soon gave up. He couldn't buy all the good players, especially the center position. Southampton now has three top centers, and there is also a promising Du Yue outside. Even if he buys
Even if Kane comes, there may not be a place for him.
So after thinking about it... Ji Ya felt relieved!
After winning this game, the next step is the third round of the FA Cup, followed by a week's rest period. Previously, the Premier League teams played three league games in just five days, so they all have to take a break, otherwise
That's too cruel.
So although it seems that Southampton can make up the game next week, there is actually no reason to make up the game here. The pressure is too much.
In the third round of the FA Cup, Southampton's opponent was Ipswich. Facing this low-level league team, Noriya sent out all the substitutes as usual. Wundt, who returned from injury, played the entire game.
The condition has recovered quite well.
In fact, Wundt is still less than thirty-two years old now, far from being very old, and it will not be difficult to regain his condition after recovering from his injury.
In the end, Southampton defeated their opponent 1-0. The veteran Miroslav Klose, who had not played for a long time, scored the only goal of the game. Southampton continued to advance in all competitions.
"In the first half of the season, we lost to Manchester United at home... That time can be said to be an accident, but accidents can only happen once. Although Manchester United is currently ranked fourth, their overall strength is still inferior to us.
The gap... Yes, this game will be played at Old Trafford, but what happened to Old Trafford? The magic of Manchester United is mainly tied to Ferguson, not to each of their players.
What magic, after Ferguson retired, this magic has gradually dissipated, but if we lose to Manchester United again, it will be a shame for us as a strong team! In the next game, we have to win, we
You can’t let one team take the lead in two games in one season!”
Noriya waved his fists and shouted in the locker room. He basically only did one thing this week, which was to inspire the players' fighting spirit and let them strive to win the game.
You must know that now in the standings, Southampton is no longer the number one contender for the championship. On the contrary, they have become competitors with Manchester United...
Chelsea and Manchester City currently both have 46 points. Manchester City's recent good form has allowed them to tie Chelsea's points, while Southampton has 41 points with a game less and Manchester United has 37 points.
If Southampton loses to Manchester United again in this game, then their third position will be a bit dangerous. On the contrary, if Southampton defeats Manchester United away from home, then they can lead Manchester United by seven points, allowing Manchester United to basically leave the championship.
of ranks.
Being able to kick an opponent away in advance is of course very important.
What's more, in this round, Chelsea will face Newcastle, the only team that failed them in the first half of the season, and Manchester City will challenge the powerful Everton away, which is also a good opportunity for Southampton.
So after a break, Ji Ya sent out his strongest lineup, goalkeeper Gulacchi, defender Cancelo, Alonso, Otamendi, Bailly, midfielder Casemiro, De Bruyne,
Coutinho, forward Mane, Vardy, Lukaku and Suarez sat on the bench, and the captain's armband was worn on De Bruyne's arm.
Van Gaal sent out a 3421 lineup, or strictly speaking, 343, with goalkeeper De Gea, Phil Jones and Blind on both sides of the three central defenders, Smalling in the middle, and midfielder
On both sides are Valencia and Luke Shaw, in the middle are Rooney and Carrick, who have switched to midfield. In front of them are Di Maria and Mata, the two attacking midfielders and wingers, and Robin van Persie is forward.
This lineup is still very gorgeous to say the least, but after Ji Ya took a look at it, he felt that this was a change made by Van Gaal out of desperation...
Rooney plays midfield so that he and Van Persie can play at the same time, but in his tactics, he can only have a lone forward, so Rooney can only play in the midfield. Mata and Di Maria are both very good.
There are players who can play both sides and hit the ball, but their offensive role on the wing will be replaced by two full midfielders. As for Blind playing as a left center back, it is not a big deal. He is also suitable for such a role, but Luke Shaw is used
He is placed at the left-back position. This position is actually not suitable for Luke Shaw. Luke Shaw is more suitable for playing left-back. However, Southampton's current left-back Alonso is more suitable for the left-back position.
Since the opponent lacks control in the midfield and has some overlapping roles on the wings, it is difficult to fill the shortcomings of the three central defenders and the two ribs. So if Kiya does not make good use of this, then he will really be a fool.
So his requirement for this game is that the midfielder should control the ball, and the wings should attack from both sides, attracting the opponent's center backs and then hitting them behind.
The three defenders must have areas that cannot be covered, and relying on the midfielder alone to fill in the gaps is not enough. What's more, the only one of their midfielders who is really capable of defending is Carrick. He is still young and his condition is declining.
It's just that he is the only midfielder in Manchester United who still has defensive ability. The other one on the bench, Fellaini? That one is too big, and his role is mainly in offense. Herrera? That is a Spanish defensive midfielder.
, he is good at organization and ball distribution, defense is not his strong point, Mkhitaryan? That is a pure attacking midfielder...
