He thought the players were giving him face and no longer cared about why he didn't train together before, but just wanted to win this game.
However, after the start of the second half, Southampton's performance not only shocked him, but also shocked everyone!
The Southampton players, who were originally thought to have lost their fighting spirit, launched an even more fierce attack from the beginning of the second half!
Swindon's players did not get carried away with the two-goal lead - after all, the three-goal lead in the first half was overturned, let alone a two-goal lead.
However, the fighting spirit and desire to win that burst out from all over Southampton still caught them off guard.
After receiving the pass from his teammate, Schneiderlin decisively dribbled the ball forward, attracting enough defensive power, and passed the ball to Otsmobo who came up from the right. Otsmobo received the ball and ran.
The mid-foot kick passed the ball into the penalty area. Giroud jumped high, leaned on the opponent's defender and headed the ball down. Chamberlain shook off the opponent's defender while running and faced the falling ball.
Shoot directly!
The ball quickly flew into the goal! Southampton recovered one point!
The Southampton fans in the stands let out huge cheers. Now one to two, they still have a chance!
"Don't be anxious, continue to struggle with them!" Wilson shouted loudly on the sidelines. In his opinion, the goal conceded was just an accident. Southampton's offense still did not find a smoother offensive method. This goal was nothing more than an accident.
Just an exception.
Only effective offensive methods can allow the team to continuously score goals. It would be too difficult to repeat such accidental goals several times...
When the game restarted, Southampton continued to attack, tearing apart Swindon's defense. However, Swindon held firm and continued to launch counterattacks!
In this constant confrontation, in the 70th minute of the game, Swindon completed a wonderful counterattack. The forward went straight in and succeeded in pushing the shot against the attacking Davis, extending the lead to three to one!
The Southampton fans in the stands were almost desperate - with twenty minutes left in the game and two goals behind, was there really any hope?
"Their attention is on you, now it's my turn." Noriya said to Giroud and Chamberlain in the center circle, "Remember to pass the ball to me after the kickoff."
Giroud nodded, Chamberlain also nodded. There is nothing to worry about at this time. It’s just twenty minutes, whether it’s the Championship or League One, that’s the last twenty minutes!
In the previous runs, Swindon's players still ran a lot. On the contrary, Jiya didn't run much - he knew that although his physique was good, in a fierce game, he would not be as good as
Professional players allocate their physical energy like that, so it is necessary to save physical energy until the last moment.
Southampton's passivity also has something to do with his paddling on the court.
At this time, the physical fitness of Swindon players had basically declined, but he was still at his peak!
The game restarts.
Giroud kicked the ball to Chamberlain and then ran forward.
Chamberlain also kicked the ball back and ran forward as well.
Noriya stopped the ball at his feet and began to dribble forward.
His speed was not fast, but when the opponent's two forwards came to attack, he controlled the ball firmly with his feet. After a continuous sudden stop and turn, he passed between them!
After passing two people, Noriya continued to move forward calmly. A midfielder came up to meet him. Noriya made a fake move of passing the ball horizontally, then quickly pulled the ball back and broke through again!
After passing three people in one breath, Ji Ya was already close to the opponent's danger zone. Swinton was shocked and couldn't help but focus on Ji Ya again!
At this moment, Noriya took off his foot and made a wonderful pass, passing the ball into the penalty area!
At the same time, Giroud, who had pushed forward to shake off the opponent, appeared at the landing point. Facing the falling ball and the hastily attacking goalkeeper, Giroud headed the ball over the goalkeeper's head. The ball fell quickly and fell directly.
Entering the gates of Swindon!
"The ball...the ball has gone in! Southampton has pulled one point back again! It's the 72nd minute of the game, and they still have a chance!"
As the commentator shouted, Giroud rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back.
"Press! Attack!" Ji Ya waved his arms and shouted. The Southampton fans came to life again. They roared crazily, hoping to see a miracle happen!
The current situation has caused drastic changes in the mentality of Swindon's players.
Twice in a row they thought they had a chance to win, but twice in a row they found a chance to escape from death. Their mentality began to fluctuate.
So after the game restarted, facing Southampton's crazy pressing, they only lasted two minutes before losing possession of the ball!
"Continue the attack!"
Noriya took the initiative to retreat to get the ball, and then started dribbling the ball forward. After attracting enough attention, he distributed the ball.
Now Swinton no longer dared to underestimate him, and began to send players to follow Ji Ya closely. However, Ji Ya's running became much stronger, constantly throwing away his opponents and taking the ball to organize attacks.
When he picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area and got rid of two Swindon players in succession, the shouts in the stands began to become earth-shattering!
"Noriya used his gorgeous skills to play with the two defenders of the opponent! His skills are so outstanding!"
"Oh, the third defender jumped on him too, the Swindon players couldn't stand him carrying the ball like that anymore!"
When the third defender rushed forward, Noriya raised his foot and passed the ball!
The ball accurately flew to Schneiderlin who was receiving the ball next to him. After passing the ball, Noriya quickly accelerated and ran out from among the three opponents' players. Schneiderlin quickly kicked off and passed the ball back!
Ji Ya, who caught the ball again, appeared at the top of the penalty area, which was already a very dangerous place...
However, he didn't control the ball or shoot. Instead, he raised his foot and stuffed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping!
At the same time, Giroud, who came forward, just received his direct pass!
This direct pass was so accurate that Giroud didn't need to adjust. He directly picked up his right foot while running and kicked the ball powerfully!
The ball roared into the upper right corner of the goal!
"Three to three draws! In the 83rd minute of the game, a miracle happened! Southampton scored two goals in a row and equalized the score! Oh my God, this game was so full of twists and turns that I can't breathe at all! This English League One game
Will the play-off final become a legendary game that people talk about?"
