Chapter 399 The Effect of Pressure

After the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Ji Ya tidied up his clothes, shook hands with the opponent's head coach Pearson, and then began to praise his players one by one.

This is his habit. After the game, he communicated with the players on the court, but after this exchange, he stood in front of Du Yue.

Du Yue looked at Ji Ya with some embarrassment.

"That goal was beautiful, I think you will return to the center position next." Ji Ya said to Du Yue.

Du Yue scratched his head: "It also depends on the coach's decision."

"It should be fine."

Ji Ya shook his head, and then asked Du Yue: "Are you really ready to be a main center forward?"

"You say."

Facing Ji Ya, who seemed to be preaching and teaching, Du Yue said something quite obediently.

"The position of center forward is very honorable, but the pressure is also great. When you scored consecutive goals before, everyone cheered for you, but once you didn't score for two consecutive games, doubts would immediately fly over... This is the same as Other positions are different. If you don’t score goals in other positions, as long as you perform well in other places, you will still be praised, but the center must score. This is the pressure that the center must bear while gaining honor and attention.” Ji Ya said.

Du Yue couldn't help thinking of his former competitor, Ulloa...

When he scored six goals in six rounds, everyone praised him, thinking that Leicester City really made the right choice and bought such a reliable center for just over 200 million pounds, which is simply better than Southampton. will do business.

But what next?After failing to score in four rounds, he was immediately scolded by the media as a "parallel importer", a "tumor", and a "useless Argentine"... It is true that the media's ruthlessness is disgusting, but the pressure of the center position is indeed true. Very big.

So even very good centers are often very superstitious, because even the best centers may encounter a scoring shortage inexplicably, so they often have a sense of ritual before the game to enhance their confidence.

Various factors have proved that the center forward, who carries the most attention and hope on the football field, and can basically get the highest salary and best treatment in the team, will definitely encounter more pressure.

"Boss, I know, I actually felt it last season." Du Yue nodded and said.

Ji Ya also nodded, and then patted Du Yue on the shoulder. He said so, but whether he can do it next depends on his performance.

After Southampton won this game, they began to wait and see the match between Chelsea and Liverpool, but the result made them sigh. After Liverpool took the lead with Emre Can's goal in the opening 9 minutes, However, they conceded a goal in each half, and finally lost the game [-]-[-].

This also allowed Chelsea to continue to stay at the top of the standings.

"Don't worry about other people's games, we just need to play ourselves well." Ji Ya said to the players.

The players nodded one after another, but Chelsea's start is really surprising. They have nine wins and two draws in eleven games, and their ability to grab points is quite good.

Reminiscent of Mourinho's scoring record in Real Madrid's second season, everyone can't help but mutter, this guy won't create another scoring record, right?

But for Southampton, it is indeed the most important thing to play their own game well.

In the next round of the league, Southampton challenged Villa away. In this game, Ji Ya continued to send a large number of main players. Now is not the time for rotation, but the time to bite the opponent firmly.

The only change is that the striker has been replaced by Vardy and Lukaku's partners.

However, in this game, Southampton encountered Villa's tenacious resistance. This season's not so good start, and the veteran team that is already fighting for relegation performed very well in this game. In the 209th minute of the game, through a quick counterattack, the captain Abanglaho counterattacked and scored a goal.

"This guy is always like this..." Ji Ya was speechless.

Abanglahuo is not too young now, he is 28 years old, but he became famous at the age of 19. At that time, he relied on his lightning-like start-up speed, but he still has a lightning-like start-up speed even though he has become a The iconic player of Stone Villa, but his strength and performance have always been like this.

However, Southampton's defense always has no good way to use such fast players. After all, their central defender combination is not particularly fast.

The speed of Rudiger and Bailey is not slow, but they have never been as tacit as the cooperation of Otamendi and Fonte, so although their physical fitness is better, they can still only serve as substitutes.

Bailey and Rudiger don't have much opinion on this, and they also cherish their days as substitutes in Southampton.

In the following time, Aston Villa also launched a tenacious defense, which once made Southampton's offense unsure.

At this time, another thing that made things worse for Southampton happened. In order to prevent another counterattack by Abanglahor, Feng Te bravely chased back and added a precise flying shovel, successfully blocking the opponent's attack this time. Counterattacked, but after Gulacci got the ball, he couldn't stand up - strained his thigh...

Ji Ya urgently dispatched Bailey to replace Wundt. Compared with Wundt, Bailey is closer, he is relatively stable, and he is faster in confrontation and movement.

Rudiger is still a little rough.

However, after Fonte left the field, who would give the captain's armband made it difficult for the players on the field-now Southampton's veterans have gone more, and Ronaldo, Navas and others who left this summer are the only veterans. Qualified, now besides Wundt, the second captain is Schneiderlin, but he is off the court now...

"Leave it to Kevin!" Ji Ya shouted towards the field.

De Bruyne froze for a moment, then took the captain's armband handed over by his teammates.

This candidate is not unexpected. After all, the third captain is the third goalkeeper Foster. Except for the three official captains, it is normal for anyone to wear the captain's armband. , everyone is convinced.

After wearing the captain's armband, De Bruyne's temperament seems to have begun to change...

"Hey, Kevin seems to be serious." Benelli couldn't help but say something.

"Kevin is impeccable, but he may be a bit careless at the critical moment. This time he was ordered in a crisis. Let's see if he can make any changes." Ji Ya said to Benali.

He doesn't care too much about the victory of a game. If he can get a De Bruyne with the captain's temperament, it will be different!
