During the halftime break, Noriya praised Suarez's performance - although Suarez did not score in the first half, he was heavily targeted and attracted a lot of attention from the opponent's two central defenders. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult.
Ney and Lukaku won't get that much space either.
Now Southampton's offense is outstanding and strong in this regard. They have top shooters, and if the shooter is targeted, others can immediately step up. All players in the frontcourt basically have the ability to score goals and breakthroughs.
, Coutinho is just a little short of a breakthrough, but as long as he has space when he gets the ball, he can create a threat.
Under such circumstances, their two full-backs have fully developed their offensive strengths, and their defensive deficiencies have been well compensated, because they have more of the advantage in possession of the ball, so in such circumstances
, they can focus on offense.
But at this time, something even worse for Juventus happened again.
Pogba was injured in the first half and he persisted, but during the halftime break it was obvious that he couldn't hold on. In desperation, Allegri replaced him with Barzagli and switched to three defenders.
The two full-backs moved to the wing positions and continued to strengthen the attack.
Juventus has no problem playing with a back three. In previous seasons under the leadership of Conte, they played with a back three. Now it's just a matter of switching to a lineup they are more familiar with.
But in this way, the gap in their defense becomes even larger.
Although the three central defenders are all very strong, in the absence of midfield protection, no matter how strong the central defender is, they cannot withstand the situation.
Ten minutes into the second half, Mane completed a breakthrough on the left. He broke through and passed back near the baseline. Suarez ran past him, but he also attracted Bonucci, and Coutinho followed up.
He took the ball, shot directly, and blasted the ball into the Juventus gate for the third time!
Three to one, Southampton expanded its lead and led the total score by three goals - Juventus's next situation is clear, as long as they can score three in the next time and not let Southampton
If they score another goal, they can eliminate Southampton...
Unfortunately, this kind of thing is very difficult to happen.
After all, everyone at Southampton is not a fool, just watching them score goals.
After a desperate attack, Juventus finally recovered a point in the 73rd minute. Pogba took the ball in the middle and sent an overhead kick. Tevez, who advanced forward, reversed offside and successfully broke into the penalty area, and then crossed to the other side.
, Morata followed up and shot directly without stopping the ball, hitting the ball into the dead center of the goal!
However, this goal only kept their hopes alive for a while. In the 81st minute, Cancelo forced a breakthrough from the right and passed the ball into the penalty area. Suarez, who had been looking for an opportunity, finally found one.
Facing the rolled ball, he directly volleyed and scored, completely sealing the victory for Southampton!
Four to two, with a total score of seven to four in the two rounds, Southampton advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
Poor Allegri, although he led the team to the knockout stage of the Champions League and surpassed his predecessor Conte, unfortunately he ran into Ji Ya and his Southampton...
Otherwise, they have a chance to go further.
After winning this game, Southampton fans were very proud, because in the other two games, the other two Premier League teams were completely wiped out!
Chelsea played Paris Saint-Germain at home and tied with the opponent at home. After entering overtime, although Hazard once again took the lead for Chelsea, Thiago Silva failed in the subsequent game.
Evening the score again, Chelsea was unable to make a comeback in the following games and could only accept the defeat at home as they conceded too many goals...
Manchester City was even worse. They were already behind 1-2 at home in the first round, and lost again 0-1 in the away game in the second round. In the end, they lost 3-1 in the two rounds.
As a result, in the Champions League quarter-finals, Southampton actually became the last lone seed in the Premier League...
Suddenly, the British media began to complain about the poor performance of the Premier League team in the European arena. After all, after Manchester United's outstanding performance, the Premier League team was actually a bit embarrassed. Chelsea's victory was a bit lucky. If it weren't for
As Southampton rises, they may perform even worse in the Champions League.
Compared with the world's number one league they have always boasted about, the gap seems a bit big.
However, their praise of Southampton also gave Ji Ya a bit of a headache.
"Damn, the Champions League is of course more important, but in this way, those guys will focus all their attention on the league. We want to win three consecutive championships, and now it will be difficult." Noriya told Benelli.
Complaining.
Benali nodded with deep sympathy. Now Southampton is already five points behind Chelsea in the league. After Chelsea is eliminated from the Champions League, they will definitely have to fight hard in the league. From this point of view, Southampton wants to complete the Premier League.
Winning three consecutive championships is really difficult.
"Let's keep playing one game at a time. Anyway, even if we fail to win the league championship in the end, we can still despise them." Ji Ya finally said.
Thinking of the way Mourinho was scolded by Ji Ya after winning the league championship, "You took advantage because we focused on winning glory for the Premier League", Benelli couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"First give them a beating, and then we can prove our strength!" Ji Ya waved his fist and said to the players.
The players also responded enthusiastically.
Although they looked very tired after just playing a Champions League game, when they met Chelsea at this time, they already had a good schedule.
After all, it will be really difficult for Southampton to meet Chelsea when they compete with their next opponents in the Champions League.
Southampton's next opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, who eliminated Chelsea.
Although Noriya knows that even if Southampton defeats Chelsea in this round, it will still be difficult for them to win the league championship this season. After all, they will definitely be distracted in the Champions League.
But as long as they defeat Chelsea and then eliminate Paris Saint-Germain under such circumstances, it will be enough to prove that Southampton is stronger than Chelsea.
Even if Mourinho wins this league championship, he will be very unhappy.
Being able to defeat a famous coach like Mourinho is enough for Kiya to make his reputation even greater.
To put it bluntly, Kiya's reputation is equivalent to Southampton's reputation now. If he can gain more advantages in collisions with famous coaches, his reputation and that of Southampton will rise in the same way.
So meeting Chelsea who are also tired at this time can be said to be the best thing!
