No one expected that with less than twenty minutes left before the end of the game and Swindon leading by two goals, Southampton actually got the score back in just ten minutes!
One to three to three to three, this score is enough to bring Southampton back to life again!
The ups and downs of life are always so exciting. How pessimistic and desperate Southampton fans were before, how excited they are now!
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wilson used three substitutions in a row in order to stabilize the current situation.
Ji Ya did not change people. He knew that he had no useful people at hand, so he might as well maintain the current situation.
After the game restarted, Southampton's players ran around the field desperately as if on stimulants and continued their crazy pressing!
Even Noriya, who didn't run and press very much before, also ran and pressed on the field with his teammates, carrying out frontcourt pressure.
In English League One, this level of frontcourt pressure is almost rare to see.
Because this kind of running and pressing requires too much physical fitness and other aspects, if you don't pay attention, there will be huge flaws that can be exploited by your opponents.
It can be said that none of the other twenty-three teams in League One can meet such conditions.
But Southampton has it.
If they haven't adapted at the beginning, then after a season of running-in and training, they can completely block the opponent's attack through frontcourt pressing and launch an attack on the spot.
Good physical reserves and a systematic running pattern are the prerequisites for achieving this.
Although Southampton's physical training and running training are not the top level, but are junior versions, they are enough in League One.
Now that morale has improved, Swindon's offense seems to be even more difficult to move forward.
Soon, Southampton seized the ball and continued to attack.
Noriya gets the ball again.
Swindon's players are even more depressed now. They don't know what to do. Just keep an eye on Ji Ya. This guy will launch an attack through passing the ball. Don't concentrate on keeping an eye on him. One or two people will be passed by him.
Then the formation will be disrupted by him.
Just look at Mkhitaryan and you will know what kind of changes a top attacker who can break through can bring about...
In terms of strength, although he is first-rate in the Southampton team, he is not the best, but his technical characteristics can bring the offensive method that Southampton needs most.
With him, Southampton's offense is complete.
And now, although he is absent, Ji Ya has filled the vacancy.
He can always get the ball close to the penalty area and then get past one or two people... The threat of doing this is very great!
After all, such a player can create a huge advantage after passing through at dangerous points, whether it is shooting or passing!
So we can only cut off the pass to him.
In this way, Southampton's other attackers became more alive.
Schneiderlin moved forward decisively, and with the protection of Walton and Liter behind him, he could move forward without any worries.
After receiving the pass from his teammate, Schneiderlin raised his right foot and shot a long shot. The ball was blocked by the opponent's defender and went out of the baseline for a corner kick.
Ji Ya ran over...
At other times, the opponent can block him from getting the ball, but there is no way to block the set piece!
Southampton's two tall central defenders also rushed forward. Lovren is 1.88 meters tall, and Fonte is over 1.9 meters tall. These two men can also pose a huge threat when they are in the penalty area.
Noriya took two steps back, took a running start, and made a pass!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight to the front spot!
Giroud rushed out of the crowd, shook off the defender who was marking him, and then took off while running, looking back at the moon...
The ball quickly changed direction, then grazed the near post and flew into Swindon's gate!
Four to three! At the last moment of the game, Southampton completed the lead!
"Giroud! Giroud! Giroud! Giroud, who has been performing steadily this season and is not showing off, showed an extremely good state at this time! He completed a hat trick! Of course, he can complete a hat trick
, I have to thank one person, and that is their boss, coach and player Noriya!"
"Giroud's three goals all came from Noriya's assists. This is really a god-like performance! Since he has such strength, why has he not played in the entire league? If he had played earlier, maybe Southampton
There is no need to play in the play-offs..."
"Previous reports were that he was seriously injured when he was eighteen years old and bid farewell to his career. Now it seems that seven years later, his physical condition has gradually recovered. He may have maintained a certain level of competition, but he may not be able to
He continued to play for a long time, and if the main players hadn't been injured one after another this time, he wouldn't have taken action himself."
"Anyway, looking at the overall performance this season, Ji Ya is just like his name, the savior and God of Southampton! Even Le Tissier rarely had such miraculous performances back then... As a player
The chairman saved Southampton's finances. As a coach, he helped Southampton win two championships. As a player, he helped Southampton advance to the Championship! From any point of view, he is the greatest Southampton has ever known.
The one!"
While the various commentators were marveling, Giroud had already run towards Ji Ya and then lifted him up!
Ji Ya, who was just over 1.7 meters tall, was lifted above his head and danced: "Fuck, put me down quickly, I'm your head coach!"
Southampton players laughed.
They respect this young head coach very much, but they also know how important this head coach is to them!
"There will be no more ripples in this game! Noriya didn't score, but he saved Southampton with a hat trick of assists!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, in the remaining minutes, Swindon launched a desperate attack, but Southampton, who began to recycle the defense, held on extremely solidly.
In stoppage time, Wundt made a steal in the backcourt and directly counterattacked with a long pass. After receiving the ball, Chamberlain drove straight into the penalty area and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, resulting in a penalty kick.
The whole team asked Noriya to take the penalty kick, and Noriya stepped up to the penalty spot, and then he took it in one fell swoop!
Five to three, Southampton completely sealed the victory!
"The game is over! The entire Wembley Stadium became a sea of joy! Southampton defeated Swindon 5-3, completing the miracle of the Black Sixth League this season! They defeated the sixth consecutively in sixth place.
Millwall in third place and Swindon in fifth place got the last place in the Championship!"
