Ji Ya waved his fist. Suarez will definitely be closely guarded by the opponent. In this case, starting with Lukaku and Mane as the main players, the effect is very good!
Southampton's frontcourt attackers not only cooperate with each other tacitly, but their personal abilities are also quite strong!
No matter who is in the frontcourt trident, they all have extremely powerful personal abilities!
They are useful in positional combat, but they are even better when counterattacking!
This is what top players are capable of!
I have to say that such a goal dealt a heavy blow to Paris.
They originally thought they had the upper hand, but found that the situation was even worse than before.
After taking the lead, Southampton did not give Paris Saint-Germain any chance to breathe. They had previously used defensive counterattacks to deal with Paris, but now, they began to attack aggressively, suppressing Paris Saint-Germain!
Lukaku forced a breakthrough and shot, but was suppressed by Siligu.
Suarez distributed the ball, De Bruyne shot hard from a long distance, and the ball hit the goal post hard and bounced out.
After being beaten by Southampton continuously, Paris suffered a serious blow again. After a defense, Thiago Silva fell to the ground and David Luiz came on as a substitute after an emergency warm-up...
"Now we are more relaxed. Luis and Silva are far behind." Ji Ya covered his mouth and said to Benelli.
"Hey, hey, that's a defender worth more than 40 million, after all." Benali said.
Ji Ya chuckled.
He has indeed always felt that David Luiz is not good enough. Although he has always been worth a lot, in Kiye's opinion, for such a player who is always distracted on the court and a defender, it is obviously exaggerated to be worth such a high price.
In the rest of the first half, Paris stabilized their position. After they withstood Southampton's attack, they began to launch counterattacks. The two sides fell into a stalemate, but Paris' offense was difficult to create any substance.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Southampton led 1-0 away into the halftime break.
The fans in Paris were a little disappointed with this result, but they still have hope. Although Southampton seemed to have a big advantage in the first half, they only scored one goal after all. A sudden reversal of the situation on the football field is very normal.
, they are also hopeful in the second half!
"We performed well in the first half. Although we did not expand the score after taking the lead, their energy has been exhausted a lot. This is our advantage."
Noriya said in the locker room, and the players nodded. They really did not feel too much pressure in the first half of the game. The players in Paris were very strong and worked hard, but in terms of the overall advantage, Southampton
Still very big.
"They will definitely step up their offense in the second half, but we don't have to worry. We can just fight back and forth with them normally, counterattack when we have the opportunity, and just recover occasionally. We don't need to go too extreme." Noriya continued.
The players continued to nod. If Paris wants to strengthen their offense, there will definitely be holes in their defense. If Southampton goes too extreme, it will easily arouse the opponent's vigilance. It is better to play normally and recover appropriately.
In fact, this is also true.
After the start of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain launched a fierce attack from top to bottom, trying to score goals in the game and reverse the situation.
Southampton did not immediately recover, but continued to struggle with Paris Saint-Germain in the midfield.
Seeing Southampton's performance like this, Blanc felt a little relieved. What he was afraid of was that Southampton would withdraw its defense and then rely on the personal abilities of several forwards to launch a counterattack. Then Paris' offense would look very depressed.
Now, at least they can attack normally.
What Blanc didn't know was that what Noriya wanted was Paris' "normal attack."
Pastore and Rabiot soon each took long-range shots. However, it was difficult for Gulacchi to make mistakes in such an attack. He made steady and continuous saves.
Seeing that such an attack seemed useless, Paris Saint-Germain began to want to penetrate into the penalty area to attack. Lavezzi and Lucas kept retreating to get the ball and break through, trying to use their skills and speed to create opportunities.
They do have a certain advantage on the wings, but their passes are always cleared by Font or Otamendi immediately.
In theory, with a top striker like Cavani in the penalty area, a wise central defender should mark people rather than the ball. However, Southampton's central defender did the opposite, only watching the ball and not the person.
This kind of defensive method has achieved good results. Cavani moves in the penalty area, but always cannot get the ball. If a shooter cannot get the ball, the effect will be very small.
Seeing that their offense had no effect, the Paris players were a little discouraged, but soon, De Bruyne was injured in a midfield scramble and was carried out on a stretcher. Prowse came on after an emergency warm-up.
This substitution instantly revived the spirit of Paris. Everyone knows that De Bruyne is Southampton’s midfield engine. He can create a huge threat with the ball in any position. But now that he is gone, then Southampton
Of course, Puton's offense will be greatly affected!
In other words, their counterattack will definitely not be that sharp.
Although Prowse is also a good midfield organizer, there is still a huge difference compared to De Bruyne.
There is a big difference between a top midfield core and an ordinary midfield core.
So now they have nothing to fear and can attack like crazy!
It's a pity that they don't know that even without De Bruyne on the court, Southampton does not lack initiators of counterattacks.
Prowse's long pass is quite good, as are Wundt and Casemiro. In addition, Alonso and Cancelo both have good long passes...
Without De Bruyne, the efficiency of the counterattack will definitely be lower, but it is not so low.
Paris Saint-Germain's offense began to become more and more intense. The two full-backs frequently pressed forward, and David Luiz, as the central defender, began to be unable to restrain his eagerness to move forward and participate.
Offensive...
This is why Noriya thinks he is average. He is different from the knife-carrying defender like Lucio back then. Lucio really carries a knife, and his timing of forward thrusts is very accurate, although there are often some mistakes.
, but his defensive desperation and brave style can make up for this.
And what about Luis? His offense is not as strong as Lucio's, nor is his defense as brave as Lucio's. He makes far more mistakes.
Paris Saint-Germain is attacking so fiercely now, so when they face Southampton's counterattack next, their defense will appear even more fragile!
