I brush achievements in football

For the fans of Atletico Madrid, there is no doubt that this game is sweet first and then bitter. In the game, their state is not bad, and their luck is not bad. They took the lead in a passive situation, but However, in the second half, Southampton overtook them with two almost unsolvable goals.

If they were a little bit luckier, they should all be able to get at least one draw.

But now, they can only swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

After Southampton won the game, they scored six points in two rounds. Roma beat Karabag [-]-[-] in the away game and ranked second with four points in two rounds. Atletico Madrid only had one point, and Karabag was last with zero points. In the next two rounds, Southampton will play two consecutive games with Roma, and Atletico Madrid will play two games with Qarabag. If they can win all, they still have a chance to advance in the group stage.

It's just that their current situation is indeed a bit severe.

Although Qarabag was beaten [-]-[-] by Southampton in the first game, they seemed to be very weak, but in fact they performed well in the second round. Although they lost to Roma, they only won by one goal. , They used active running and confrontation to make Roma helpless in many cases. In the end, the loss was only a little weaker in strength, but their fighting spirit and state were not lacking at all.

With Atletico Madrid's current characteristics, they may not be able to break through Qarabag's defense.

Of course, this is a headache for Simeone. For Ji Ya, they have won the Champions League with two consecutive victories, and they have laid a solid foundation for qualifying from the group.

To win the Champions League for five consecutive championships, of course we have to take it step by step, first qualifying for the group stage.

After returning to the league, in Southampton's away game against Stoke City, Ji Ya once again dispatched most of the main players. tactics, then stability and continuity will become very important.

What's more, his three central defenders will play in turns this season, so it is even more necessary to maintain stability in other positions.

The strength of Stoke City is not bad. They have several outstanding attackers in the frontcourt, such as the Swiss Shaqiri, the Cameroonian center Choupo Moting, the Senegalese winger Diouf... These are all offensive abilities Very good player, Ji Ya dispatched all the main players, which is a safe performance.

And his safety has paid off enough.

Stoke City, which sits at home, performed quite well, while Southampton seemed a bit in a bad state after a difficult game against Atletico Madrid. Although that game was finally won, it made them It took a lot of effort.

The two sides are constantly entangled on the field, Southampton controls the rhythm of the midfield, but Stoke City's counterattack from time to time will still bring a lot of threats.

After half an hour of entanglement, Southampton still relied on the cooperation of the front court to score the first goal. Grealish's pass found Du Yue in the penalty area. Du Yue made a fake shot, but the ball He dunked back, and then raised his foot to pass to the back point. Vardy took off at the back point, shook his head and hit the goal at the first time, and pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal!

There was a huge cheer from the Southampton fans who had been looking forward to this goal for a long time!

Vardy and Du Yue hugged each other, and the cooperation between the striker partners began to get better and better. The old and the young cooperated perfectly.

The characteristics of the two of them are actually completely different. Vardy is a standard center. He grabs points in the penalty area and serves as a fulcrum, and pulls out of the penalty area to meet the ball. He is first-class, while Du Yue is a comprehensive forward. In addition to responding to grab points in the penalty area, the range of activities is also quite large. It can play a very good role in counterattacks and positional warfare, using its own skills and breakthroughs to create more opportunities.

Du Yue needs a center to help him cover, while Vardy needs a more flexible forward to cooperate with him and make up for his shortcomings.

So the cooperation between the two is quite excellent. On the contrary, after they went to the England national team, no matter who cooperated with other forwards, they were a bit out of place.

After Southampton took the lead, they were not able to maintain the lead for a long time. Stoke City's counterattack was still sharp, and in the No. 40 minute of the game, they completed a beautiful counterattack. Uff cut into the penalty area from the wing, shot before Maguire made up, and broke through Gulac's ten-finger pass!

After the start of the second half, Southampton continued to control the situation on the field, but Stoke City's defense was quite in place. It was not until the No.705 minute that they relied on Du Yue's forced breakthrough to create a corner kick. Browne drove a corner kick into the penalty area, and Maguire, who advanced forward, overwhelmed the opponent's defender and shook his head to attack the goal, leading the score again!

Southampton's second lead did not make Stoke City lose their fighting spirit, but instead made them launch a fierce attack-their luck was also good, and Crouch, who came off the bench, received Shupo Moting in the penalty area. Then he hit a rebound ball from a small angle, and the ball flew past Gulachi's hand in a strange way, and then plunged into the back of the goal...

"Is this also possible?" Ji Ya shouted a little stunned.

However, such a draw is obviously unacceptable to Southampton. Kiya replaced two people in a row, replacing Allais and Alvarez, replacing Prowse in the midfield and Chilwell in the defense. , put up four forwards in the frontcourt, and started to attack frantically!

Ji Ya's aggressiveness at such a critical moment overwhelmed Stoke City.

They originally thought that after they equalized twice in a row, Southampton would definitely be greatly affected. However, Southampton, like a group of stunned youths, launched an attack regardless of defense!

As a result, the momentum of Stoke City was suppressed by Southampton instead.

Originally, as a weak team, it is very important not to lose in terms of momentum. Now that their momentum has been suppressed, then at the last moment, they can only be suppressed by Southampton.

Southampton's offense is quite fast. Although there are four forwards on the field, they are all performing their duties. Allai is at the forefront. As a strong top player, Vardy keeps retreating to respond After splitting the ball, Du Yue and Alvarez ran around, looking for opportunities to add some threats to the lack of breakthrough ability of the two wings.

In such a back and forth running and response, Southampton finally took the lead again after 5 minutes!

Vardy, who retreated, received a pass from De Bruyne, and then split the side in time. After receiving the ball, Alvarez sent a curve ball with his right foot and flew into the penalty area. Allais jumped high , overwhelmed the opponent's defender and ferried the ball down!

Du Yue shot forward like an arrow, facing the falling ball, and shot directly into the air!

The ball quickly changed direction and flew into the gate of Stoke City!
