Chapter 1187 What Illusion Do You Have?

This draw is Southampton's third tie in the league this season, and also the third tie in all competitions-Southampton has won all other games, including cup games.

After playing this game, Southampton ushered in a week of rest, followed by the No.20 nine rounds of the league, and then another week of rest, the weekend is the FA Cup game, and then It is the rhythm of the league mixed with the cup.

So during this period of time, it is indeed the last time for the players to rest and adjust their status in the second half of the season.

For a strong team like Southampton, the game during this period is indeed a good opportunity for them to accumulate strength to hit the final championship.

Of course, for other teams, they may only be able to play in the league at the end of the season, and the teams that can experience the Devil's April are all top teams without exception.

A team that has not at least made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup, how can it be qualified to lament that April is the devil's April?

To put it bluntly, the devil will play eight or nine games a month in April, at least three of which are the knockout matches of the Champions Cup and one domestic cup match. The league is actually about four or five games, which is not too different from other months. big difference.

If you really want to say that the most dense league is around Christmas, that's when the league is really dense, and many teams with insufficient bench thickness start to fall behind at that time.

Needless to say too much gossip, Southampton will take a good rest and recovery in the next week, focusing on adjusting the physical fitness and state of the players, so as to play better in the next time.

After a week of rest, Southampton ushered in Tottenham.

After 29 rounds, Tottenham ranked eighth, and Liverpool ranked seventh can be regarded as difficult brothers, but compared with Arsenal ranked tenth, they are still good...

When they meet Southampton at this time, if they can win, with this confidence, they can continue to sprint in the final stage of the league. If they lose, it will be very difficult to get into the top four.

The situation of Liverpool is actually similar. Their performance is not very good, but it is mainly because of the distraction of the Champions League. Their state this year is indeed worse than in previous seasons. After winning the league championship, the status of this group of players Fighting spirit is really not that good.

However, the Tottenham players still have fighting spirit. After all, they have not won a championship until now. Many players have a feeling of anger in their hearts. When they meet Southampton, the envy, jealousy and hatred burst out, of course they will have more fighting spirit. .

And this game is their home game. Facing Southampton who is adjusting, their performance is indeed quite good.

The two sides launched a fierce confrontation on the court, but Southampton has almost adjusted the state of the game. In the first half of the game, it was a wonderful connection between De Bruyne and Du Yue. With an inside pass, Du Yue went forward and scored the first goal for Southampton.

The score in the first half was [-]-[-]. In the second half, the unconvinced Tottenham launched a fierce attack again. Kane and Sun Xingmin were still their arrows, and Bell, who joined on loan in the winter, brought them more. speed and impact.

Tottenham, who went all out to attack, equalized the score in the 60th minute. It was Bale who scored the goal. After receiving the ball from Kane outside the penalty area, he took a decisive shot and hit a world wave to equalize the score for Tottenham. !

After being equalized by the opponent, Southampton did not struggle, nor did they rush to press the offense, but continued to entangle with the opponent. In the league, they themselves were relatively calm.

Such a good mentality allowed them to take the lead again in the following time. After receiving Du Yue's ball, Grealish made a slight adjustment outside the penalty area, and then kicked the ball to the far corner and shot the ball. Scored the dead corner of the goal, two to one, and Southampton took the lead again.

The frenzied counterattack of Tottenham finally equalized the score before the end of the game. Bale passed the ball to Sun Xingmin. After Sun Xingmin broke into the penalty area, he was tripped by Araujo.

However, this goal that occurred in stoppage time was just a point for Tottenham.

Having suffered two consecutive draws, Southampton's points advantage has further shrunk. Manchester City won this round again, with 71 points, eight points behind Southampton!

From [-] points to [-] points, Manchester City regained the disadvantage of [-] points in two rounds. The hope of winning the championship seems to be burning again!

However, Ji Ya was unmoved by this.

"Only leading by eight points? What illusion do you have about the Premier League? With nine rounds left in the league, leading by eight points is already amazing, right? We have only tied four games in the league so far. How many teams can be as good as us?"

Ji Ya said at the press conference after the game that the reporters were very depressed and thought about it. This is really the truth...

29 wins and 25 draws in [-] rounds, isn't that good?

It can only be said that the previous results were so good that it seemed that something went wrong after they tied two games recently.

However, in fact, Southampton has been adjusting and resting during this period, while accumulating physical strength, so as to launch a violent impact in the last month or so. During this period, it is normal to have some ups and downs.

So many rounds this season, they won so many games, and accumulated so many points, isn't that what they use now?

It's just that the reporters always have a little filter on Southampton. After all, Southampton's results are so good, they will unknowingly embarrass them...

The following weekend is the FA Cup quarter-final, with Southampton at Bournemouth, Chelsea at Sheffield United, Manchester City at Everton and Manchester United at Leicester. City, it seems that they are strong and weak. Relatively speaking, Southampton's draw is better, and Bournemouth is easier to deal with.

If they beat their opponents, Southampton will face the winner between Manchester City and Everton.

Facing the British Championship team Bournemouth, Ji Ya did not underestimate his opponent, but it was indeed not worthy of attention. In this game, he sent a mixed lineup, led by Du Yue.

In the end, it was indeed easy to win the game. Du Yue passed and shot in the first half, and scored two goals in a row shortly after the start of the second half. The defense at the Championship level could not withstand his impact. They defeated their opponents with four goals and entered the semi-finals, and their opponents in the semi-finals were indeed Manchester City.

However, Manchester City encountered Waterloo in the game. They lost to Leicester City and failed to enter the semi-finals, but now Leicester City is only one point behind them in the standings, and it is not an upset. .
