The team that returned to Southampton with the League Cup championship trophy was not picked up and welcomed by countless fans - because the fans followed them to London. However, that night, in Southampton, there was a big protest.
There was a huge parade to celebrate, with Southampton players and coaches swaggering through the city on a bus with the roof removed, celebrating crazily.
It is indeed worth celebrating, after all, this is the second decent championship Southampton has won in its more than 100-year history.
"Southampton does not lack history, but it lacks honor! But after I come here, it will no longer lack honor! This is the first championship I won at Southampton, but it will definitely not be the last one!"
Ji Ya took a big loudspeaker and shouted into the street. The Southampton fans who heard his shout were further ignited!
Ji Ya proudly handed the loudspeaker to others. He did not notice that Benelli was a little worried. He was worried that Ji Ya had said what he said but was unable to perform well, and the backlash might be even greater...
Of course, Ji Ya definitely doesn't care about this at this time. In his opinion, is it still a question whether he can get a decent honor?
I will definitely continue to create miracles!
Although I am not one of those time-travelling guys written in the novel, I do have a plug-in! A plug-in, it’s so much better than time-traveling!
And Ji Ya's good mood began to become even happier after he returned home.
Winning the League Cup will earn you fifty achievement points, which is a benefit that the champion itself can gain.
Winning the first League Cup title in Southampton's history highlighted this achievement and earned a lot of achievement points - a total of two hundred.
In other words, just by winning this championship, Ji Ya has obtained 250 achievement points. After deducting the 20 achievement points he used before, he now still has a full 274 achievement points on hand. If converted into
In terms of tactical points, it can make his tactical points exceed 30 points.
Of course, Noriya will not blindly use up all these achievement points. The team is in a good situation now, so reluctantly using them will only be a waste. It is better to wait until the start of next season to see what areas need to be strengthened.
After winning this game, Southampton's attention is basically only on the league. The English Championship final is on March 28. This game will be the only one that will affect Southampton's league sprint.
of the game.
However, the overdraft in this League Cup final also brought negative consequences to Southampton's performance. In the next round of the league, Southampton lost to Tranmere, ranked 19th, without temper. This game
Most of Southampton's players were substitutes, and a few of the main players seemed not to be in very good condition, and they had no temper at all for the loss.
Fortunately, the schedule in March was relatively loose. After a week's rest, Southampton also won against the second-ranked Leeds United. Lambert's golden goal helped them win at home.
Bi Zero defeated Leeds United and regained the rhythm of the game.
A week later, Southampton defeated Milton Keynes 3-0 away from home and won two consecutive games.
After thirty-seven rounds, Southampton has rushed to the seventh position, only two points behind the sixth-ranked Colchester United, with a total of 62 points.
However, the teams ranked third, fourth and fifth have 68 and 67 points, and Leeds, ranked second, has 71 points. With nine games left in the league, Southampton wants to hit the top two.
In fact, it is already very difficult. Nine rounds and nine points, and there are five competitors above. It is quite difficult to catch up in such a situation.
So Noriya continues his lion's mouth-opening strategy - he wants all the honors and achievements he has the opportunity to get this season!
The league championship is very difficult, but the play-off championship can still be won. The English Championship has long been considered by Ji Ya to be in the bag. It’s not that I don’t know, but I’m shocked. Even in the English League, Nan’an
There are still many achievements that can be achieved in Puton!
The League Cup, the English Championship and the English League One play-off championship - these are all honors that Southampton has never won. Mosquito legs are also meat, not to mention the achievement points obtained after these achievements are lit up, they are not considered mosquito legs in any way.
So in the 38th round, Ji Ya continued to hide most of the main players, and then they tied with Oldham at home with a score of 0-0.
Southampton doesn't care about this draw. After all, they will go to the new Wembley Stadium again in three days for a final!
Yes, although the England Championship is a competition for lower-level teams, the final of this competition is also held at the new Wembley Stadium.
In this final, Southampton fans began to gain the upper hand. They once again filled half of their seats, but what about their opponents? Carlisle United only came with less than 30,000 people...
Compared with the home stadium, which has only more than 18,000 seats, this number is large enough, but it still cannot compare with Southampton.
After all, although Southampton has no honors, it still spends a lot of time in the Premier League. But what about Carlisle United? They rarely even play in the second-tier league. The best honors in history are the third-tier league championship.
Twice fourth tier champions, oh yes, they also won the English Championship once...
It can only be said that the history of the English League is too long. Although there are many teams that are now in the lower leagues but have outstanding achievements in the past, there are more teams like Carlisle United, which have been in the lower leagues for a long time. The English Championship is their most successful team.
A team that can win honors...
In terms of overall strength, they are far from comparable to Southampton. After all, they are currently ranked fifteenth, and their performance is much worse than Southampton's.
Noriya and the Southampton players did not give this opponent many chances.
From the beginning of the game, they continued to put pressure on their opponents with running and fast attacks, attacking from the side, breaking through, shooting from long range, everything.
Manchester United was forced to expand its defensive zone in such an attack, let alone Carlisle United.
So it went very smoothly. The two centers each scored a goal in the first half. Carlisle United, which fought hard in the second half, once recovered a point. However, goals from Lallana and Mkhitaryan allowed
Southampton swept their opponents four to one and won the English Championship!
"I am very happy to win the championship for my first time participating in this competition... Of course, I hope that Southampton will not participate in this competition again at any time in the future." Noriya said at the press conference after the game.
