Chapter 1199 The league gradually becomes clear
"[-] to [-] away, [-] to [-] at home, Southampton beat Bayern [-] to [-] in two rounds, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League! I have to say that these are two extremely high-value victories. Bayern's performance is not bad. They were even quite outstanding, but they were still double-killed by Southampton! With their extremely strong performance, Southampton proved that when they are playing with all their strength, almost no team can stop their progress!"
The news of Southampton's entry into the semi-finals has been widely reported by various media. Although this news is not surprising, the game itself is still worth mentioning. Bayern was defeated by Southampton despite their outstanding performance. Defeated, this situation simply makes other powerful players who are interested in defeating Southampton desperate-how should I perform to have a chance of defeating this monster-like team?
If you can't beat it, how can you deal with Southampton next?
Is it just to watch them win the quadruple crown that has never been seen before, and is likely to be unprecedented?
Well, if this is the case, what else can I do besides lie down and admit defeat?
Bayern left Southampton up and down, and in other Champions League matches, they also decided the outcome one after another. Real Madrid drew Liverpool [-]-[-] away and entered the semi-finals. They were also in the semi-finals of Southampton. In the other half of the area, Manchester City faced Paris. The strength of these two teams is definitely not bad. In short, if Southampton wants to win the Champions League, they will encounter strong teams all the way. It's a sure thing.
In the next period of time, Southampton can focus more on the country, but this season's schedule is more compressed. According to the schedule, if Southampton can reach the Champions League final, then they will They will face their opponents in the final on June 23, and the last round of the league will end on May 27, and the FA Cup will be held on May [-], so at the end of the season, Southampton will be under a lot of pressure. Didn't say Devil April would get better.
However, the schedule has been arranged long ago. Of course, the Southampton players will not come to feel that the schedule is not good for them at this time.
After a few days of rest, Southampton ushered in the No. 30 second round of the league, playing against the middle-ranked Crystal Palace at home.
Now if Southampton is a war machine, then this war machine is already fully operational.
Southampton, which has already started to fully operate, how can Crystal Palace be able to resist it?
Although Crystal Palace performed quite well this season, and now they can be regarded as successful in relegation ahead of schedule, it also proves that they have no ambitions this season. Even if such a team wants to compete with Southampton, they do not have enough strength and state to compete with Southampton. Struggle.
In this game, Ji Ya rotated some of the main players, but most of the main players were still on. The season has reached the last two months, so there is no need to keep it.
Crystal Palace still created some surprises at the beginning, which gave other teams a glimmer of hope-only 2 minutes into the game, they seized a loophole in Southampton's defense line, and Southampton's old player Benteke went straight. , and then hit the ball into the big Martin's gate!
Benteke was very excited after scoring this goal, and then he was followed by Rudiger...
In the following time, he had no more chances, and Southampton's counterattacks were wave after wave.
Just 5 minutes later, Southampton created a chance. De Bruyne gave the ball to Mushala. Mushala broke through the bottom line and passed back. Du Yue followed up and easily kicked the ball. Into the dead corner of the goal.
Southampton equalized.
"Du Yue's shot is terribly accurate. This shot looks easy, but have you noticed the route of his shot? It's almost a goal that flies into the near post. Even if the goalkeeper reacts, this kind of shot is quite Difficult to save."
Some commentators lamented that Du Yue seems to be a player who can only shoot, but in fact his shooting skills have reached a limit. Physical talent is also quite amazing.
Considering that he was still a defender, everyone has sighed countless times-how did Ji Ya dig him out of the youth team?
After equalizing the score, Southampton played more easily. Before the end of the first half, Alvarez broke into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Cancelo and gave Southampton the lead. They made persistent efforts in the second half, and McAleese Te cut the goal close to the front of the penalty area, and Southampton led [-]-[-].
At this time, Ji Ya replaced Du Yue, but Vardy, who came on as a substitute, scored the goal as soon as he touched the ball. Southampton easily defeated Crystal Palace at home, while Manchester City encountered Waterloo again in the league and lost. After finishing the game, they are [-] points behind Southampton. With six rounds left in the league, Southampton is only one step away from winning the championship!
"Manchester City are starting to gather strength. They have obviously focused on the cup... The Champions League is very important. At the same time, they can also stop us in the FA Cup. Under such circumstances, there is really no need to play in the league. It's a waste of energy."
Ji Ya told the members of the coaching staff that the coaches nodded one after another. Basically, everyone can see this. Manchester City sent most of the substitutes in this game, obviously giving up the league.
Besides, although they are 3 points behind Southampton, they are still [-] points ahead of No. [-] Manchester United. With six rounds left in the league, the runner-up position is also very stable, so there is no need to waste energy .
Being able to put pressure on Southampton in other games is what they need to do now.
Although they can continue to catch up with Southampton in the league to create additional pressure on Southampton, but this kind of pressure does not fall from the sky, it is the physical consumption of the main force. It is really not cost-effective to put pressure on Southampton.
What's more, Southampton obviously wants a perfect season now. Even if they win the league in advance, their unbeaten season, over [-] points and Du Yue's over [-] goals and the task of scoring goals every game are all pressures. .
So even if Manchester City can no longer catch up with them in points, Southampton will not take it lightly in the league.
For this point, Guardiola is quite accurate.
In a head-to-head contest, it is the best chance to stop Southampton.
