I brush achievements in football

In the following time, Matuidi's performance was also quite eye-catching. He was omnipotent at the front of the penalty area, constantly stealing, distributing the ball, and passing long passes...

This surprised Ji Ya, because he always knew that Matuidi was an excellent midfielder. In addition to his strong defense, he also had a good offense and the ability to deliver shells forward, but his performance in this game, Too good to be true.

Of course, this is definitely not a bad thing for Southampton.

In the No. 20 minute of the game, Matuidi even made a long shot, but Cech made a timely save and did not allow Southampton to expand the score.

Southampton fans booed. They felt that if it wasn't for Cech's trouble, Southampton should be leading [-]-[-] now...

But now Southampton's advantage on the field is indeed quite large. After 10 minutes of the game, they almost played against Chelsea. Chelsea didn't even have the ability to resist at all.

If it weren't for Cech's outstanding performance and other defenders who are doing their best to assist in the defense, Chelsea's defense may really be the same as a sieve now.

It wasn't until the No.207 minute that Chelsea gradually stabilized their position and started to attack.

After receiving a pass from Ramirez, Oscar kicked a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. Navas flew to save, blocked the ball with one hand, and then pressed the ball under him.

"Okay, keep attacking!"

Benitez yelled at the field, seeing that the team finally launched an attack, it also made him feel at ease, otherwise, if he has been beaten by Southampton, it would appear that Southampton's level is better than Chelsea's Much taller.

Fortunately, his Chelsea and Southampton are not fundamentally different.

However, after this attack, Southampton quickly regained the advantage on the field. Benteke's forced breakthrough forced Ivanovic to foul. Southampton won a direct free kick 25 meters away from the goal. Hitarian took the penalty, the ball bypassed the wall, but it flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

There was another loud sigh from the Southampton fans.

However, in the following time, Southampton still had the advantage on the field. Ronaldo and Vidal each had a very threatening shot, while Chelsea only relied on Oscar and Lampard's long shots to save the offensive. face.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was one to zero, with Southampton taking the lead temporarily.

This score is actually not an exaggeration, it can even be said to be a bit normal, but after looking at the data, everyone who knows a little bit will gasp.

In terms of possession ratio, Southampton accounted for 70.00%, and Chelsea accounted for less than 30.00%.

The number of shots, Southampton thirteen times, seven of which were within the range of the goal frame, one goal, Cech made four key saves.Chelsea only had three shots, and Navas didn't make a key save.

Judging from the threat of offense, Chelsea's offense in the first half was simply not a threat.

In terms of scenes, this is already considered one-sided.

"Let's not pay too much attention to this...we have to remember that we only led by one goal in the first half, and this leading goal is actually very unsafe. No matter how good our scene is, it is not that we have achieved more leads, Chelsea are already very good at winning in a passive situation, which is their biggest feature in the past ten years, and this feature will not change because the head coach becomes Benitez, understand?"

The players nodded one after another. It was the last game of the season, and they didn't want to leave any regrets in the last game.

And the honor of winning the UEFA Europa League three consecutive times, everyone is very interested!

Under such circumstances, Southampton still has a big advantage in terms of desire to win, which is why they were able to beat Chelsea in the first half.

Benitez didn't say anything in the locker room. He was so passive in the first half. The performance of the players is actually not a big problem. The main reason is that the midfielder was suppressed by the opponent. This problem cannot be solved by substituting. He worked very hard. Anyone can feel the desperate feeling of the veteran on the court.

Moreover, in his press against Southampton in the first half, he still passed some balls, completed some organization, and also contributed defensively. If you change someone else, you may not be able to perform as well as him.

So Benitez can only encourage the players, and then let the backcourt hit the ball to the frontcourt as quickly as possible, and use the personal abilities of Mata and others to launch an offense.

When the scene is passive, completing the offense through personal ability is also something Chelsea is good at.

Didn't they just stick to it last season, and rely on the personal performance of Drogba and others to win the Champions League abruptly?

This approach may not be enough to play in the league, but it is often enough to play in the cup!

"The second half is about to start... There are no substitutions on both sides! Benitez is really confident. He was different when he was in Liverpool. He was very good at substitutions... But Chelsea's lineup this year is always uneven. He has no one to replace. Southampton had an absolute advantage in the first half, but they only led by one goal, which may be a big hidden danger for Southampton... Well, let's look forward to the second half The game is even more exciting!"

"What's interesting is that the finals of this season's European wars are all domestic wars. The two sides in the Europa League are Chelsea and Southampton in the Premier League, and the two sides in the Champions League are Bayern and Dortmund in the Bundesliga! Bayern and Dortmund are still eliminated. In the final of the La Liga duo, Bayern played badly against Barcelona, ​​which was invincible before. Their full-court pressing and close confrontation caused Barcelona's ball possession tactics to collapse! The tactics that Ji Ya used before finally carried forward in the hands of Bayern. Yes! And Dortmund also destroyed Real Madrid through a gorgeous attack! The topic is far away, the performance of this Europa League final so far seems not very exciting..."

The commentator's complaints also resonated with some neutral fans. In their opinion, this first half was really not very exciting. Of course, the main reason was that Chelsea was too conservative...

After the start of the second half, Chelsea seemed to be still defending, while Southampton continued to attack.

Such a scene made many neutral fans feel very disappointed, and felt that the second half would probably be ugly. Maybe Southampton would solve the game one-to-zero in the simplest way and win the unprecedented Europa League three. Consecutive honor!

After all, there is no name in the final, and the three consecutive championships, of course, must be done in the safest way. Southampton has the advantage in possession of the ball, and they can use this advantage without any worries!
