I brush achievements in football

The entanglement between the two sides on the court lasted until the No. 40 minutes of the first half.

Manchester City focuses on offense, but Southampton's offense is also very sharp. Both sides continue to attack in the midfield, looking for opportunities to score.

Manchester City wants to equalize, and Southampton also wants to continue to expand the score. After all, in such an important game, a goal lead is really nothing.

Kompany received the first yellow card of the game. He pulled down the breakthrough Du Yue. Southampton won a direct free kick 26 meters away from the goal. Du Yue and De Bruyne stood on the ball at the same time. However, although De Bruyne's arc kicked over the wall, his speed was slightly slower, and Ederson flew to save the ball.

In the remaining few minutes of the first half, Manchester City's offense had the advantage, but Southampton's defense was quite solid. Otamendi grabbed the first point when he took a corner kick, but Ma Quill's timely interference allowed him to head the ball high.

This shot was also the last shot in the entire first half of the game.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Southampton's players left the field relatively easily, while Manchester City's players looked more serious.

The performance of the two sides in the first half was actually equal, but Southampton seized the opportunity to score a goal. They failed to score, which seems to explain something in itself.

Is it still going to lose to Southampton?Such a good start to the season, but still can't win the league championship?

You must know that the last time Manchester City won the league championship was Southampton's first season in the Premier League. Under the leadership of Mancini, they won the league championship at the last moment and suppressed Manchester United. No.3, It's Southampton.

What now?Will we still encounter such a situation?That was a real pain.

"We played well in the first half."

In the locker room, Guardiola said this.

Looking at the players looking at each other, Guardiola laughed: "Although we are behind, we are not at a disadvantage in terms of performance or appearance. Compared with Southampton, our performance is about the same. Do you think so?"

The Manchester City players thought for a while, then nodded one after another.

Indeed, whether it is the scene or the opportunities created, both sides can only be said to be similar. Both have good opportunities and have made good defenses. However, Southampton's luck and performance are slightly better. this opportunity.

"So we don't have to worry about it. We continue to do this in the second half. The goal will come sooner or later. Our tactics are fine. Southampton and our tactics are at the same level. We just try to do our best. , that's fine... The competition for the season is a long process, one game can't explain anything, we just need to get enough points from other teams, and that's it." Guardiola continued.

The players nodded one after another. It can be said that Guardiola has said everything he should say. If they struggle, it will be meaningless.

In this kind of competition, luck is indeed very important, but as long as you perform well enough, you can always make up for your lack of luck, and if you lose because of luck, there is nothing to worry about. If you win back later, that's it.

When the emotions of the Manchester City players recovered, Ji Ya was trying to make his players calm down, realizing that the lead in the first half was not because their performance suppressed the opponent, but because the opponent's performance was not that good. excellent...

"Remember, we will encounter more tests in the coming time, so be patient at all times. The league is a very long competitive process, and our opponents are very strong. Even if we win them Or losing to them will not have a particularly big impact on the final result of this season, understand? This season, we will have a long-lasting and long-term competition with them, just like how we suppressed Chelsea last season It’s the same as before. The result will not appear until the end, so at any time, you must keep calm, understand?”

The players nodded one after another. Ji Ya took Chelsea as an example last season. This is very straightforward. Last season, Chelsea also struggled with Southampton until the end and only lost one point. If it weren't for Southampton's strong performance If not, the championship may be snatched away by Chelsea at any time.

Like the 15-16 season, after the first few rounds of adaptation, Southampton used a wave of [-] consecutive victories to directly establish the championship position. This kind of thing will be rare, because the competitiveness of the Premier League will getting bigger.

"Okay, take a good rest and prepare for the second half of the game." Ji Ya waved his arms.

For many neutral fans, the one-to-zero match in the first half was not really enjoyable. Although the pace on the court was fast and both sides showed great strength, it was really not too much for only one goal. enjoyable.

Of course, the Southampton and Manchester City players don't care about this. What they want is a good result, not just what they show on the court.

Besides, their performance is not bad, and there are also many wonderful shots on the court, but they just scored a little less.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City first withstood an attack from Southampton, and then began to counterattack.

"Hey, they played very patiently." Ji Ya muttered in his heart.

Originally, he also hoped that Manchester City would be more impatient in the second half. In this case, Southampton's winning percentage would appear to be higher.

But now it seems that Manchester City is indeed very mature now, and the age structure of their lineup is more reasonable, unlike Southampton, which is younger.

So in terms of mentality, they will of course appear more mature.

After Guardiola's midfielder emphasized, they immediately maintained a peaceful mentality, and such a peaceful mentality is helpful to their offense.

The tactic of always holding the ball and attacking requires more calmness.

And one of the more coincidental things is that Manchester City's offense achieved extremely brilliant achievements shortly after the start of the second half of the game!

Sterling changed position to the left to break through with the ball, and was brought down by Cancelo - Cancelo's foul was also very timely. After all, if Sterling seized the opportunity and broke through to a deeper place, the threat would be even greater big.

Seat B took a free kick, the ball flew to the front point, Aguero dived to the top, shook his head and hit the goal!

Rudiger barely interfered, and then the ball bounced off the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area. Maguire and Jesus fought for the spot together, but neither of them could touch the ball. Sterling appeared in the penalty area. At the point where the ball landed, a light poke shot...
