I brush achievements in football

The entanglement between Southampton and Barcelona continued until the end of the first half.

Both sides had a lot of opportunities, but under the excellent performance of both defenses, especially the goalkeeper, they were unable to continue to score goals.

Under such circumstances, it seems that Southampton should not be too anxious, but every time they attack, they still show an extremely strong desire to score goals!

No. In the 301st minute, Vardy tried his best to head the ball to the top and almost hit the goalpost...

Although Vardy has scored a lot in Southampton in the past two years, he has scored a lot less in the Champions League, at least not worthy of his scoring rate.

Therefore, some people have always criticized him for only scoring goals in the Premier League, but it is useless in the Champions League.

Under such circumstances, Vardy has been holding his breath, wanting to prove himself well.

In the 403rd minute of the game, Lukaku forced a breakthrough from the wing and won a corner kick.

De Bruyne prepares to take a corner and both Southampton centre-backs rush forward, tall enough to draw enough attention in the box to overlook Vardy who slinks out of the box...

De Bruyne took a corner kick, and the ball quickly flew to the front of the penalty area!

There, after the run-up, Vardy faced the falling ball and shot vigorously without stopping the ball!

This shot was played at an extremely high level, the ball flew straight into the penalty area, miraculously flew out of the crowd, and then plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

When Ter Stegen saw the ball flying out of the crowd, it was too late to react!

"The goal! Jamie Vardy! What an astonishment! He finished a beautiful long shot from outside the box! It is so important to score in this stalemate stage, Southampton before the end of the first half. With a score of two to zero!"

Amidst the chanting of the commentator, the Southampton fans roared crazily, while Vardy opened his arms and rushed to the stands.

This is his third goal in the Champions League this season, which also allows him to tie Lukaku and become one of Southampton's top scorers in the Champions League this season...

Although this data seems a bit shabby, most of Southampton's attention this season is still in the league. It is enough to praise for such a performance!

"Your old club is really good." Messi couldn't help but said something to Suarez.

Suarez shrugged: "We are together, we should be stronger." Messi laughed.

Although two goals behind, it did not affect their emotions, because in the previous offense, whether it was Messi, Neymar or Suarez, they had already noticed that Southampton's defense had begun to loosen.

This is also the key to why Southampton must strengthen its offense.

The Southampton players know that if they continue to grind like this, their side will definitely lose the ball.

Only by scoring more goals can we continue to maintain our advantage.

"When we attack next, we need to be more focused." Messi said to Suarez and Neymar.

They haven't reached the time when their emotions fluctuate. After all, this is the first round of the game. Even if they fall behind by two goals, there is still the second half and the home court.

"Don't think that we can sit back and relax if we lead by two goals...Barcelona has a strong offensive ability, which is not even worse than us. So in the second half of the game, in addition to continuing to maintain the pressure of attack, even if the goal is conceded, We also need to keep calm, understand? The two rounds of the game are a whole, and temporary advantages and disadvantages are nothing."

Ji Ya said in the locker room that leading by two goals in the first half is of course a good advantage, but Ji Ya knows that this time is indeed far from the time to relax.

Southampton's invincible performance in the league makes them slack in their thinking. Many times when they play against mid-lower teams, Southampton takes a two-goal lead, and their opponents basically give up resistance. Just kick it however you want, and before you know it, it will become choppy.

That's what Kiya is worried about.

In fact, he is not afraid of losing the ball. If he loses the ball, the big deal is to recover it. What is it? What he is most worried about is that after losing the ball, the team will become at a loss because of the mentality.

If the game has been stalemate, there will be no problem. The Southampton players will not relax. Now that they are leading by two goals and playing relatively smoothly, the players may relax unknowingly.

This is what Kiya needs to worry about.

So he kept reminding the players in the locker room.

Fortunately, his prestige is enough. At this time, the players can still listen to his words.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Southampton fans were very optimistic. They felt that this game would eventually be another big victory for Southampton. the avenue.

Fortunately, the Southampton players are not so optimistic, otherwise, the second half may be a classic overtake by Barcelona.

Not long after the start of the second half, Iniesta sent a sharp direct pass from the midfielder, and Neymar, who advanced in time, formed a one-handed shot.

Barcelona's attack can be regarded as a wake-up call for Southampton.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack, but their attack did not pose much threat. Vardy and Alba both fell to the ground under entanglement, and the ball was obtained by Mascherano.

Barcelona, ​​who re-launched the attack, quickly hit the ball to the frontcourt. After Neymar broke through from the wing, he made a cross. Under the cover of Suarez, Messi inserted from the back row and abruptly grabbed the first goal between the two tall central defenders. Shaking his head to attack the goal, Gulacci almost subconsciously blocked the ball with one hand, and Van Dijk immediately made a clearance!

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Barcelona created two extremely threatening attacks, which made Southampton start to raise their vigilance.

They launched a counterattack and wanted to score again. If they can extend their lead to three goals, then the game will basically be considered settled.

It's a pity that although Cancelo's cross deceived everyone, Vardy's header from the back point was slightly higher than the crossbar...

Just as the Southampton fans were sighing, Barcelona quietly launched an attack.

Under the entanglement of Kanter, Iniesta still brought the ball to the front court, and then shoveled the ball to the front before falling to the ground. Suarez, who switched to the left, broke through the bottom line and passed the ball into the penalty area. , the ball flew to the back point, and Neymar, who followed up from the back point, knocked the ball into the middle again. Messi, who threw away Wundt during the run, kept the ball and shot directly in the penalty area. There was no suspense about the ball. Flew into the upper right corner of the goal!
