Southampton's next closed training session was considered a bluff by almost everyone.
After all, where things are now, what else can Southampton do? Not anymore, not anymore.
They can't transfer, and they haven't heard of any great offensive newcomers in the youth team. This season, Southampton is actually very lean and simple. There are not many forwards in the frontcourt, and apart from Giroud, only the old ones are left.
The small one or two were crooked and cracked, and basically didn't compete much.
We can't let Chamberlain and Giroud partner up front.
Swindon's head coach Danny Wilson is very sure.
He felt very happy when he thought that he might be able to create a Black Six legend. Even though everyone was not optimistic about him, he pulled out his teeth and extracted chestnuts from the fire, and got the last place to advance to the new crown.
After all, there is nothing surprising about Swinton's strength. Being able to create such a miracle depends on his strategizing!
The only pity is that Swindon was ranked fifth before and was unable to create the Black Six legend.
With such a happy mood, Wilson ushered in the play-off final!
Southampton delayed submitting the match list until the last moment, two hours before the start of the game.
"Boring, what's the point of procrastinating like this?" Wilson said as he took over Southampton's starting lineup in a bored manner.
What he said actually makes sense. After all, after one season, who can still hide any trump card?
He didn't notice that when he said this, his assistant coach looked at him with a very strange look...
Wilson opened the note casually, took a look at it, and then his eyes immediately popped out.
"This...this is..." Wilson looked at his assistant in surprise, and then saw that the assistant was also smiling bitterly.
"Ji...Ji Ya!"
Wilson shouted, and for a moment no one could tell whether he was calling God or Ji Ya's name.
"Hahaha, that guy Wilson's expression must be wonderful right now." Ji Ya laughed so much on the bus in Southampton.
But other players are not as happy as he is...
"Boss, you have never participated in training with us these past few days," Chamberlain said.
"So I have always said that you just need to play according to the usual training method. The vacant position is mine." Ji Ya replied.
The players smiled bitterly at the same time.
In fact, until this time, the players felt that this was not true, even if they had just noticed before that Jiya's name was actually on the Southampton first team roster...
But can Jiya, who has never practiced with anyone else, be able to take on the important task of being the core of the frontcourt offense?
No core has ever been able to function without training together!
But Ji Ya said that he can do it!
This sounds unreliable!
But he is the boss, he is the coach, and he has the final say.
Everyone could only listen. Although they were very worried, they could only believe Ji Ya.
What does it mean to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor?
Ji Ya was actually beating the drum in his heart at this time, but he could only persevere.
He already regretted why he didn't make a good impact on the top two and advance directly. The play-offs... it really wasn't done by humans.
But at this time, I can only take a gamble.
When warming up on the court, Noriya's meticulous warm-up made other players feel more at ease.
At the very least, the boss is still a standard player and not some mess.
The more than 40,000 Southampton fans present also stared with their eyes out.
What? What is this? Noriya is going to start?
At this time, well-informed fans have already got the starting lineup. Southampton sent a 4-3-3 lineup, with goalkeeper Davis, two full-backs Otsmobo and Mills, and center back Lovren.
"Boss, what do you want..." Suddenly, countless Southampton fans lamented.
The Swindon fans began to laugh wildly - this is the head coach of Southampton, and he is actually going to play football in person...
Can't you even find a serious striker?
"Okay, the warm-up is over. I think you all know the previous tactics very well. Stand in the midfield, give the ball to me as much as possible, and I will organize the offense. I am familiar with each of you's movements and habits, so follow your usual rhythm
Just go to the game, do you understand?" Noriya said to the players after returning to the locker room.
The players nodded one after another, and now it seems that this is the only way.
After all, Giroud and Chamberlain cannot score goals.
Although Swindon is the worst-looking team in the first six, they are also placed in the top six. They concede the most goals and score the second fewest goals in the first six, but if they are placed among other teams, they also score the most goals.
The strong team that conceded the fewest goals.
It is difficult to rely on defense to withstand their attack. This is not what Southampton is good at. Noriya still hopes to take victory in his own hands.
The game is about to begin.
Noriya, who wears the Southampton jersey number 32, is very busy.
He first ran to shake hands with the opponent's head coach Wilson. Wilson's expression looked like he had eaten shit. He wanted to ask Ji Ya, do you really think you can do it? But he couldn't ask...
After shaking hands with Wilson, Ji Ya chatted with the fourth official on the sidelines. Then he ran back to the player tunnel obediently and stood at the last position in the team, waiting to go out...
The commentators were also startled by this unexpected incident, and then they began to explain why Jiya could play - because he is an official player registered by the English Players Association, and he is also on the first team reported by Southampton this season.
is on the team roster, so it is absolutely legal for him to play, and there are still many examples of coaches and players in the English league. For example, Vialli served as both a player and a coach at Chelsea, but he rarely played at that time.
.
It's just that Ji Ya hasn't played for a whole season. Does playing at this time really have any use?
"This is a mess! This is a manifestation of irresponsibility for Southampton's promotion!" a commentator said harshly.
"I think Ji Ya is qualified to do this... If it weren't for him, Southampton might not have a chance to stand here. If it weren't for Lambert, Lallana and Mkhitaryan were injured and couldn't play, he wouldn't be able to play."
Even if one of these three people is present, Noriya will probably send himself out. Southampton fans will be grateful to Noriya, no matter what the result of this game is." Some commentators also said quite fairly.
But some people have grasped the key points.
"Ji Ya will be the first person in the history of the English top league who is also the club chairman, first team coach and first team player! Gentlemen, I don't know if there is such a person in other leagues, but in England, he is definitely the first
