I brush achievements in football

The defense and midfield, in fact, there is nothing to operate, mainly the striker.

Southampton's striker line showed some problems last season. The breakthrough depends on Mane, the grab point depends on Vardy, and the counterattack depends on Lukaku. Their personal abilities are very strong and they are also very effective. , but in terms of cooperation with each other, it is a bit worse.

In the summer training, what Ji Ya focused on was to solve this problem.

Needless to say, when it comes to counterattacks, with Lukaku and Mane involved, Vardy can also counterattack well, the key is positional warfare.

The difference from last season is that in positional battles, Lukaku will go to the penalty area to grab points more, or be a center forward with the ball behind him. This kind of job is not what he is good at, but with the ball behind him, Forcibly turning around and breaking through to create opportunities is very suitable for him.

So if you do this kind of thing, if you do it in the middle, the threat will naturally be greater.

So Lukaku will change from a winger to a center forward...

As for the problem of attacking on the right, most of them will be handed over to Cancelo and De Bruyne, who is active on this side.

With a big man like Lukaku stuck in the penalty area, of course Vardy has more room to move.

This is the change in Southampton's attack.

This change is small, but fatal.

Amidst the shouts of Newcastle fans, such a change took the lead in scoring a goal for Southampton!

In the 204th minute of the game, Mane scored the ball to the right, followed by Cancelo and passed it directly into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Point, shook his head and kicked the ball into the dead corner of the goal!

Vardy, who scored the goal, started his celebration excitedly. In the summer, he was selected for the England national team for the first time, and then played in the friendly match. For the 28-year-old Vardy, his rival in the national team A lot, but he can get him a place in the national team by scoring goals continuously.

Seeing that Vardy scored a goal, Ji Ya clapped his hands in satisfaction. It seems that Vardy is not complacent because of his outstanding performance last season, and his state has not declined this season.

And as a 28-year-old forward, he will not hit the rookie wall after being seen through for one season's outstanding performance...

After all, last season was his second season in the Premier League.

It is actually quite difficult for a player like him who grabs points to be marked to death.

After opening the scoring, Southampton played more calmly, but they were a little uncomfortable with Newcastle's frenzied pressing.

The main reason is that Gundogan is not used to it. After he gets used to the rhythm of the Bundesliga, he needs to slowly adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

The attack of Newcastle's midfielder also gave Matic some headaches. He is not bad in frontal confrontation, but Newcastle's midfielder's attack is mainly based on quick transfer and ground attack, which makes him a little bit anxious when running back and forth. .

After grasping such shortcomings, Newcastle scored twice in the game-first relied on a corner kick before the end of the first half, Cisse slammed the ball into the empty goal from the back point, and then shortly after the second half, Wijnaldum Break through Matic's defense at the front of the penalty area, and then shoot hard for Newcastle to overtake...

"The midfielder has actually lost momentum... It seems that we still need to adjust."

Ji Ya thought in his heart.

However, this kind of backwardness does not bother him. He has seen the loss of power in the midfield before, and it is nothing more than to let the players get in better.

Under such circumstances, he used up a substitution quota.

Kanter came on and replaced Gundogan.

This substitution made many fans feel a little surprised. Now that they are behind, shouldn't they strengthen their offense? How to replace a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder?

Gun Duoan left the stage panting, Ji Ya went up to greet him and shook hands with him.

"It's okay, get used to it slowly, I know your ability and your level." Ji Ya said to Gundogan.

Gundogan nodded gratefully, and Coutinho on the bench didn't say much.

This summer Ji Ya and Coutinho have already talked about it. Letting Coutinho play the main force last season was actually a bit counterproductive, so this season will be more appropriate to use him, let him play the attacking midfielder and the second forward position. Work out a lot to strengthen his strengths and let him bring out the best in him.

Coutinho knew it was for his own good - he was 23 years old, and what he needed was better improvement, not blindly playing games.

This kind of planned substitute is more meaningful than playing the main force.

Ji Ya's substitution this time proved that he was at a higher level.

The previous loss of Southampton's midfielder was not because of a problem with the offense, but because of the defense-the defense was passive, which prevented them from attacking smoothly.

Only by stabilizing the defense can the offense be strengthened.

And the two defensive midfielders are on the field, which can also liberate the two full-backs very well.

Sure enough, after this substitution, Southampton, who had been somewhat passive on the scene, immediately stabilized their defense, and then their offense became active.

This made the originally elated Newcastle fans start to be a little stunned...

How did that happen?

We clearly had an advantage before...

Just when they couldn't figure it out, Southampton's offense began to become more and more violent.

Mane started to be more active on the left, as most of the defensive attention was drawn to the right.

It was No. 709 minutes after his breakthrough from the left, he made a beautiful cross. Lukaku who plugged in from a far point overwhelmed the opponent's defender and shook his head to attack the goal!

The ball quickly flew into Newcastle's gate, and Southampton equalized the score!

"Continue to attack, what we want is victory." Ji Ya gestured to the field.

And he quickly used up the second substitution. Dembele came on and replaced the slightly sprained Vardy. Southampton's frontcourt offense began to become more flexible.

Under such circumstances, Dembele's breakthrough is simply a killer in the face of a defender with declining physical fitness, let alone De Bruyne and Cancelo passing him behind him.

Newcastle's defense only lasted less than 10 minutes. After Dembele completed a beautiful breakthrough, he passed the ball back near the baseline. Alonso followed up and shot directly at the goal without stopping the ball. Dead corner of the goal!

Three to two, Southampton completed a go-ahead at the last moment!

Such a victory with twists and turns is not perfect, but it makes the Southampton fans very satisfied.

They don't think it's a bit embarrassing to win like this, on the contrary they find it very exciting.

After all, for the slow Southampton, the first victory in the league is already very good!

This victory allowed Southampton fans to see that Southampton is bound to win the league this season, and it also made them look forward to the next game.
