Chapter 380 The Suppression of Two Wings

"Sevilla ranked fifth in La Liga last season, so they can only play in the Europa League... Their overall strength is not very strong, and there are no outstanding players, but the overall tactics and operations are good. They basically The tactics above are four-two-three-one, the defense is solid, and the counterattack is also good, so if we can contain the midfield, reduce their chances of counterattack, and then suppress them through the attack on the wings, then the victory will basically belong to us."

Ji Ya was talking to the players in the locker room, and the players nodded one after another. The loss in the last game did not make their self-confidence problematic. The old players were very indifferent to this, and the new players were ashamed because they lost a championship. Gearing up, hoping to perform better on the court.

In this game, Ji Ya sent a more standard four-three-three lineup. The goalkeeper Romero, the two full-backs are Cancelo and Alonso, the central defender is partnered by Fonte and Otamendi, and the midfielder is in the middle. The two were Casemiro and De Bruyne, Coutinho was in front of them, Perisic appeared on the left winger, Mane was placed on the right winger by Ji Ya, Val Di came forward as a single center forward.

Lukaku was placed on the bench, but he has no objection. Ji Ya told him before that they will take turns playing this season, but Lukaku, who can play center forward and right winger, will play on the field It's a little cheaper.

Sevilla sent a formation of 120. The process of winning the Europa League last season was actually ups and downs, and they narrowly passed. When they faced Maribor in the [-]th final, they were The away game was [-] to [-] and the home game was [-] to [-] narrowly. The top [-] faced Real Betis, two rounds were tied, and a penalty kick passed. They beat their opponents [-]-[-], and they were eliminated here. In the semi-final against Valencia, it was [-]-[-] at home and [-]-[-] away. They narrowly passed by relying on the advantage of away goals. In the final, they faced Benfica, also in [-] minutes. The opponents who scored [-] to [-] and then defeated in penalty shootouts stumbled along the way and did not show any extraordinary strength.

This is more in line with their status as ranked fifth in La Liga.

Compared with Southampton who beat their opponents by three goals in the first round of the Europa League all the way, it was really far from winning the Europa League championship.

So although Sevilla won the third Europa League championship, tying Southampton, Liverpool, Inter Milan and Juventus, Southampton fans still feel that they are not worthy.

In the start of this game, Sevilla also seemed very cautious, basically sending players who are good at defense, and they expected striker Baca to steal at a critical moment.

After all, they also know very well that compared with Southampton, their strength is indeed much worse.

However, the strong attack lineup sent by Ji Ya also surprised them...

Originally, they thought that Southampton would pay attention to midfield control and quick transfer of the ball as they did against Arsenal.

Looking at this formation, it is obvious that they intend to attack by force!

Sure enough, from the beginning of the game, Southampton's two wings were constantly attacking forward. De Bruyne became a defensive midfielder, constantly dispatching passes in the backcourt. Lonzo and Perisic, Cancelo and Mane on the right, began to attack Sevilla's two wings in turn.

This time, the two wings of Seville were crushed more fiercely.

Whether it's Alonso or Cancelo, they all have the ability to pass beautiful crosses, and Southampton's restricted area only appears to be Vardy, a center forward who is less than 1.8 meters tall, but in fact, whether it is Perry Sic or Mane, their ability to grab points is quite good.

In the No.16 minute of the first half, Mane took the ball from the side and passed it back to Cancelo who followed up. Cancelo made a slight adjustment and crossed with his right foot!

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, crossed all the defensive players in the front of the penalty area and in the middle, and flew to the back point. Perisic, who advanced from the back point, jumped high and faced the falling ball. A high-altitude bombing!

Although he is a winger, but with a height of 1.8 meters [-], his header after inserting into the penalty area from the back row is quite deterrent.

Seville's goalkeeper Beto only had time to wave his arm, and the ball flew into Seville's gate!

Tens of thousands of Southampton fans, who were basically playing at home, immediately gave out huge cheers!

After scoring the goal, Perisic ran under the stands, opened his arms, and listened to the cheers from the stands.

He has always thought that he is very good. He left Dortmund because he could not play more games under the pressure of Royce and others. After Wolfsburg's outstanding performance, he was favored by Southampton. Let him have more confidence in his future development.

This goal is obviously a good start.

To say that Southampton's striker competition this season is indeed fierce. The wingers have Perisic, Mane and Dembele, and the center has Lukaku, Vardy and Suarez. The competition for the three positions is actually quite fierce.

This goal may be a good start for Perisic.

After taking the lead, Southampton began to intercept and run in the midfield. Compared with last season, their ability to intercept and run in the midfield has not actually declined. After Coutinho's training last season, he His running ability has been strengthened a lot, and he does not need to consume too much physical energy in the offense. Under such circumstances, the protection ability of the Southampton midfielder has not declined.

However, the defensive ability of their two wings has dropped a bit.

This also makes their defense a bit difficult, but Southampton's forwards have improved a lot in their ability to return to defense this season. Both Perisic and Mane have begun to actively return to defense, assisting in defense and filling positions.

After resisting the opponent's attack, Southampton launched a counterattack. The players on the two wings continued to press forward and took turns to attack.

"Southampton's wide players have improved a lot in physical fitness and up and down ability." The ESPN commentator sighed.

Compared with last season, Alonso's back-and-forth ability is actually much worse than that of Luke Shaw. However, it is much better when there is a replacement. He can create pressure through his own skills and passing. Instead of creating pressure through running and impact, in this way, whether it is Mane or Perisic in front, they can cooperate well with him.

Cancelo is actually better than Klein in terms of height. He is just relatively thin and weak in confrontation, but this has something to do with his young age. This problem can be solved through training and muscle building.

His speed is not fast in the first place, and he relies on his skills for a living. As long as his muscle strength improves, then his skills will definitely be able to perform better!
