Compared with Southampton's three-goal lead, the other semi-final seemed very thrilling. Swindon defeated Charlton 2-1 at home and gained the upper hand.
In the eyes of many people, there is no suspense for Southampton in the second round, but there is still a bit of suspense for the match between Swindon and Charlton.
However, what no one expected was that although Southampton did not suffer any score pressure in the second round, they suffered a huge loss!
When the ninety-minute game ended, Ji Ya stood on the sidelines with a livid face, looking at the field.
There was nothing to say about the score, one to one, Southampton gave Millwall no chance.
However, everyone knows that Southampton is now... losing a lot of money!
"I am very indignant about what happened on the field today. Millwall carried out various unconventional retaliatory actions against our players when they had no chance. Lambert was kicked and injured by them.
Lallana was also kicked and injured by them. I don't know why Millwall did this. I only know that if I sympathized with Millwall before because they were entangled by football hooligans and were unable to resist, then now
, I can only say that what kind of team there is, there are what kind of fans. It is not an accident that football hooligans take a liking to Millwall, but because the team's notorious way of playing is enough to attract those
Notorious football hooligan!”
Ji Ya, who was extremely angry, swore at Millwall at the press conference. Jacket wanted to come up and challenge Ji Ya, but was forced back by Ji Ya with a cold look. Everyone off the court
Millwall reporters attacked Noriya one after another, but were scolded by Southampton reporters who were equally angry...
The press conference ended unhappy.
Afterwards, the Millwall Club announced that it would sue Noriya because he had slandered the reputation of the Millwall Club. Noriya directly and openly announced that you can sue as you like. I have hired the best local legal team in England. How much does it cost?
It will be all right!
Southampton fans support Noriya endlessly. In their opinion, a club like Millwall should not exist in professional football. If you are still in the English Championship, you should be relegated directly to the sixth and seventh tiers!
The FA announced an investigation into the content of the game and the post-match press conference. However, everyone knows how slow the FA is in handling matters. By the time they find out the results, next season may not even begin until the next season.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Football Association will not care too much. The content of the game is relatively normal. It will only ban a few players for flagrant fouls. As for Ji Ya's violent comments after the game, just think of him as a teenager. He has no
Attacking the referee and the tournament organizing committee is the ultimate conflict between him and Millwall. Just wait until he files a lawsuit with Millwall.
Ji Ya just vented his anger, but Southampton suffered a real loss. After the game, the news came that Lambert and Lallana had to rest for half a month, and they would most likely not be able to make it to the final.
, three of Southampton’s four top attackers took a break at once.
The one who benefited most from this was Swindon, who eliminated Charlton through a penalty shootout...
Swindon, originally ranked fifth, was the least promising of the four teams participating in the play-offs. Millwall almost qualified for the Championship. Charlton also had a chance. Southampton had not been deducted points.
, is a solid runner-up, what does Swindon have?
But they defeated Charlton through hard work, and then God gave them a Southampton without three main offensive players!
This is their destiny!
For a moment, the Swindon fans were crazy with joy. They felt that their team would definitely win this final!
Without three main attackers, let alone Southampton, even the top giants like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, and Bayern will be a lot lower in strength!
And everyone can see that Lambert and Lallana are the two people who have scored the most goals in Southampton this season. Mkhitaryan can rely on breakthroughs to drive the team's offense. The roles of the three of them are not just casual.
Anyone can fill it in!
Moreover, Southampton has not made many substitutions in the frontcourt this season, so Chamberlain can play games from time to time. Now they don't even have a substitute, so how can they play?
Southampton fans were gloomy for a while.
If their lineup is intact, then of course they are not afraid of anyone, let alone Swindon. Wouldn't Manchester United be defeated by them?
But now, with so many good players missing from the frontcourt, how can we still play this game?
Even if the players are full of fighting spirit and Noriya is in command, there is nothing they can do, right?
Of course, even if there is nothing they can do in the end, they will not blame the team. In their opinion, the team's performance this season is enough to make them feel proud!
As long as they continue to maintain this, the English League Championship next season will be within their grasp, right?
While the Southampton fans all decided to "love you even if you lose", Noriya never thought about losing this game.
"We still have a chance. As long as we train well on the court and adapt to the new tactics, we will definitely win." Ji Ya said to the players.
The players were skeptical.
Yes, in less than a year, Ji Ya has shown his outstanding level and proved that he is indeed a top head coach, but no matter how good the head coach is, he must rely on his players to compete. In such a situation
Under such circumstances, what else can Ji Ya do?
"Of course I have my own way." Ji Ya said with a smile.
Then they also remained mysterious and spoke their thoughts directly to the players.
The entire lawn was covered with dropped eyeballs from the players, bouncing around everywhere.
"Boss, are you kidding me?" Lovren couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I'm not joking. Do you think there is any other way now?" Ji Ya asked.
Everyone shook their heads collectively.
Of course there is no way. If there was a way, would it still be so difficult for everyone?
"Since everyone thinks we are destined to lose, what's the point of taking a gamble? You can only trust me, right?" Ji Ya said with a smile.
Players, you look at me, I look at you, and you can only choose to accept your fate.
Indeed, there is no other way to go now anyway, so it is better to just trust the boss, he will not joke about this kind of thing...
"Okay, there are still fifteen days. During this period, we have to familiarize ourselves with and understand the new formations and tactics. In this last important game of the season, we must exert our full capabilities to let
Swinton knows that if he wants to pick up the leaks from us, go to hell! No one can pick up the leaks from us!" Ji Ya shouted, waving his fist.
Although I didn't quite understand what the boss meant by "picking up a leak," I understood it to mean "picking up a wallet," so the Southampton players also waved their fists.
