When Noriya announced on the training ground that a third captain would be added to the team, no one actually had any objections. Perry retired, so of course a third captain would be added.
However, considering that the main positions of Davis and Walton are not stable, then this third captain is likely to be the first captain later.
Then Noriya announced that Jose Fonte would become the club's third captain.
This announcement surprised everyone - from any point of view, Wundt is not suitable to be the captain. He has only been here for half a year, and he is a Portuguese. Although the main position is very stable, after all, he has only been here for half a year, except for the new players.
Who is not more qualified than him?
However, the strangest thing is that after being stunned for a moment, almost all Southampton players began to applaud, especially the old players who were there last season, while the new players were more likely to follow the crowd.
Ji Ya smiled, while Benali shook his head. If he had known this, what would he have to worry about?
There was only one reason why Wundt became the third captain, and no one objected.
Some people are born to be big brothers, and some people are born to be political commissars.
Wundt is such a big brother and political commissar.
Although he has only been here for half a year, he is sincere and fair, and everyone admires him. Moreover, Southampton has many young players. Wundt will be 27 years old soon. He has a calm and mature personality, and any young player is willing to play with him.
He contacts.
In particular, Southampton's young players have more out-of-the-box personalities, and such people tend to be more admired by those with mature and calm personalities.
After solving this problem, Southampton ushered in its new season.
"Southampton spent nearly 12 million pounds in the transfer market in the new season, and the net investment exceeded 10 million pounds! Seven players were introduced (Vardy, who was on loan, was sadly ignored)
), among these seven players, the most famous is Belgian international Moussa Dembele. Southampton defeated Fulham before signing him from Alkmaar. This outstanding Belgian midfielder will
It will bring enough experience to Southampton! Costa Rica national goalkeeper Navas will provide double insurance for Southampton's goalkeeper position. Other signings are mainly young players, which is also Southampton's habit, but it is obvious that
, Noriya’s coaching last season has established his position, and people are looking forward to Southampton’s performance in the new season even more!”
"With a net investment of more than 10 million pounds, Southampton's goal is undoubtedly to hit the Premier League... In addition, they will also be the second team after Aachen to participate in the Europa League as a second-tier team.
What kind of performance they can have in the Europa League is really exciting!"
As the champion of the League Cup, Southampton will start from the Europa League play-offs. The opponent has not yet been announced, but no matter who it is, it will be Southampton's first Europa League game...
After all, when they won the FA Cup before, they still had the Cup Winners' Cup to play in, so they never played in the Europa League.
Especially after the establishment of the Premier League, they lingered at the back for a long time. Their best result was seventh and they had never played in the Europa League.
This can also be seen why Southampton fans like Noriya - all he brings are games that Southampton has never played. From this perspective, although Southampton has a long history, the honor is indeed too great.
It's lacking.
In theory, a team as famous as Southampton should not be so lacking in honors... After all, they once had great players like Le Tissier and Alan Shearer!
"This is just right. The white paper is easy to draw on."
Ji Ya thought in his heart.
Southampton's first league opponent was Bristol City. In Kiya's opinion, this was a little-known team and their performance had always been mediocre.
Dealing with such a team, Noriya did not take it lightly - if he still had a certain game mentality towards coaching the team last season, after the baptism of the play-offs, he would never think so again.
Southampton's strength was definitely outstanding in the English League last season, but they stumbled. Although it has a lot to do with their distraction in various cup competitions, and they also deducted ten points, but if the discipline
If Ya concentrates on directing the team to play in the league, it is hard to win the championship, but it is not difficult to get a spot for direct promotion.
They are only four points behind Leeds, who were promoted directly in the end!
Moreover, there were such big mistakes in the play-offs. If it weren't for Ji Ya's cheating plug-in and his legendary performance, Southampton would still be in League One.
So now Noriya feels that no game should be taken lightly, and games that can be won should be won as much as possible.
Noriya does not intend to perform well in the League Cup and FA Cup this season. He is just training substitutes and young players. His top priority is to win the championship in the English Championship and win the European Championship.
Fight for the championship in the Fed Cup!
These are honors that Southampton has never received, and they can get enough rewards after lighting them up!
But before the game started, Ji Ya received a mission.
Mission name: To Kill a Mockingbird.
Task requirements: Defeat Bristol City (the team's crest has a robin on its crest) by scoring more than three goals without conceding a goal.
Winning the mission will earn you 20 achievement points, and failing the mission will deduct 20 achievement points.
"This mission is really for young people. What does this have to do with that book? Does it mean that just because Bristol City's team emblem is a mockingbird, they must be killed?"
Ji Ya complained in his heart, and then accepted the task. Now he still has 780 achievement points on hand. Although he doesn't think much of 20 achievement points, mosquito legs are also meat.
Besides, losing won't affect him at all, right?
But now that we have this task, we have to perform well. Bristol City's best season was two years ago. They reached the Championship play-off final, but unfortunately they lost to Hull City and failed to win.
After entering the Premier League, they were relatively mediocre in the next two seasons. Last season they ranked in the middle and performed mediocrely.
However, after playing in the English Championship for several years, they have a strong enough team. There are no particularly famous players, but the overall situation is not bad. Last season, they averaged more than one goal per game and conceded more than one goal...
It's not difficult to beat such a team, but it still takes a little effort to win at least three goals against them without conceding a goal.
"It's just a good time to use a team like this to try out our overall running and pressing attack." Noriya thought in his mind.
