I brush achievements in football

Southampton's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is Fulham.

This team, which was relegated last season, did not perform very well in the English Championship this season. Now they have played 26 rounds in the English Championship, and the Wolves rank first. They are now ahead of No.2 by as much as [-] points. Returning to the Premier League is a certainty, as long as there are no major accidents.

Fulham is ranked tenth, but they also have 39 points, and the second-ranked Derby County is only 49 points. They are only four points away from the top six.

So they are still very hopeful to return to the Premier League with the play-offs.

With Southampton's strength, there is no need to send a main force to deal with such a team. Ji Ya also sent a lineup with all substitutes in accordance with his own habits.

Goalkeeper Mendy, defenders Peters, Jenkinson, Dericht, Araujo, midfielders Sancho, Hoybil, Prouse, B Fee, forwards Allais, Alvarez.

Fulham is at home, and they also sent all their main players to deal with Southampton. After all, their current ranking is not very bad, and if they can perform well against Southampton, it will also improve their morale. It has no small effect.

The two sides began to fight on the field. Southampton's substitutes have always played with a good attitude. After all, they have much fewer opportunities. Compared with the Fulham players, they don't have much to be proud of.

The two sides are constantly looking for opportunities in the midfield. Southampton's midfield is now a little better offensively, and Sancho and B Fei on the two wings are constantly creating opportunities.

Under such instigation, Southampton scored the first goal in the first half, Sancho passed the ball after breaking through, Allais headed the ferry, Alvarez scored the goal, and Southampton led [-]-[-] in the away game.

After taking the lead, the Southampton players began to control the midfield. After all, for them, victory is not the most important thing. Only when he comes off the bench can he play the best role.

When Southampton starts to control the field, it is difficult for the opponent to get any good opportunities. This is something that almost everyone knows.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and seeing that 10 minutes had passed in the second half, Southampton still led by one goal.

At this time, Fulham chose to make a substitution, and a tall center forward was replaced on the field.

"Alexander Mitrovic, a Serbian center forward, is 1.8 meters nine and weighs 24 kilograms. He is a standard powerful center forward. He is 21 years old this year. He joined Newcastle when he was 72 years old. He played for two and a half seasons and played 39 games. , Started [-] games and scored [-] goals. Just loaned to Fulham, this is the first appearance." Benelli quickly reported the striker's statistics.

"It's about the same age as us Allais, and they are both high center forwards. But I remember that this guy seems to be playing well in Newcastle. Although he is not particularly top-level, he can be regarded as a reliable striker. Newcastle has not been very good recently. Why? Want to rent him?" Ji Ya rubbed his chin and asked.

He basically pays attention to the performance of the players, but he doesn't know much about things outside the court. After all, a person's energy is limited.

"It seems that the relationship with other people is not very good, and his characteristics require others to play around him, so in Newcastle, his performance was not stable, and he always came off the bench, which affected his performance. I'm not happy to stay at Newcastle anymore," Benelli replied.

"He really is a guy with personality." Ji Ya clicked his tongue twice.

But he just sighed. He doesn't know how to use this kind of striker who has to play around. After all, his tactics rely more on the whole, and he won't play around a certain player. Any player is on the field. One member, even players like De Bruyne and Du Yue, they only have their own important position tactically, but strategically, they are not completely irreplaceable.

This is Kiya's team leadership philosophy.

After Mitrovic came on the field, Fulham really started to play around him.

Although he just joined, in terms of status and reputation, he is bigger than Fulham's current players. In addition, he is a newly introduced player. Now the team is behind and there is nothing to do, so play around him. , is naturally a good choice.

After playing around him, Mitrovic's strength began to show.

"Oh, this guy is pretty strong, with a strong body, excellent ability to grab points, and excellent confrontation and center skills." After watching it for a while, Ji Ya sighed.

"The quality is good." Benelli nodded.

Compared with Allais, Mitrovic is stronger, and he is also better at using his body-although Allais is also tall, he is not as good at confrontation, and his style is different.

If you have to distinguish, Mitrovic is closer to the traditional center forward, relying on his body to fight against the block to create opportunities, while Allais is a bit more shooter, more flexible, and better at scoring goals.

These two forwards can't be said to be better, they are just two different styles.

Under the impact of Mitrovic, De Ligt and Araujo began to undergo a severe test.

Although they are all very talented central defenders, and they are not inferior to Mitrovic in terms of height and agility, but they are young after all-only, compared with the 24-year-old Mitrovic, whether it is physical In terms of physical strength and skill in using the body, they are all inferior.

Under the impact of Mitrovic, the two young central defenders were a little bit miserable, but they also knew that in the Premier League, facing such physical impact would be very common. It is necessary to stay in the Premier League.

So they gritted their teeth and persisted, judging the landing point, engaging in physical confrontation, and entangled with Mitrovic...

Fulham's home fans began to shout loudly, and they were indeed excited to see the team start to play against Southampton.

"Such a center forward can make the game much easier." Benelli sighed.

"I think too much, that is, the two young central defenders were bullied by him. If Maguire was on the court, he would not be so good." Ji Ya shook his head.

Benelli was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded suddenly. Indeed, Mitrovic relies on his body to play, so it is easy to be deflated in front of a stronger central defender. This is probably why Newcastle does not play around him. The key is that there are many central defenders like the Premier League.
