Chapter 1174 Simple Victory

"How we dealt with Atletico Madrid in the last game, we will deal with Chelsea in this game. Chelsea's style of play and style are quite similar to Atletico Madrid, so as long as we come up with the previous game under such circumstances Performance, beating them will be no problem."

Ji Ya arranged this tactic in this way, and this tactic is indeed quite suitable.

Chelsea after Tuchel took office is indeed quite close to Atletico Madrid, and also has a tenacious defense. The midfielder looks crowded, but it is mainly defensive. The offense relies on the cooperation of several attackers to fight back quickly. If Southampton can control the midfield and don't give the opponent too many opportunities, then they can control the opponent very well.

In this game, Ji Ya's psychological bottom line can be tied, but he must not lose.

Before the start of the second round of the Champions League, in addition to this game, there are two league games and a League Cup final. The opponents in the two leagues are of average strength. Important, and the final of the League Cup is more important than this game, so a draw is acceptable, but a loss is not acceptable.

Of course, it is better to win this game.

Regarding this point, the Southampton players are not under much pressure. The schedule of the last few games is quite good. Although it is basically a game in three or four days, it is a strong one and a weak one. They You can let your good state show up when facing strong teams.

Du Yue scored five goals in two games against Wolves, but only one goal against Atletico Madrid. That goal was much more difficult.

This actually proves that Du Yue's state has no ups and downs. On the contrary, he will perform better against strong teams!

This league is of course no exception.

Chelsea's defense has been strengthened a lot now, but the strengthening is mainly the whole, not how much a certain place has been strengthened. Two full-backs serve as wing-wings, which makes their defense on the side a lot more stable. Adding a central defender, then It is very good to protect the front of the goal, but compared with Du Yue, the three central defenders all seem a little not agile enough.

There are not many defenders who can keep up with Du Yue's rhythm, and Chelsea's defenders do not protect each other enough.

Although their personal defensive abilities are very strong, it is still difficult to keep up with Du Yue's movements.

For this reason, Tuchel arranged tactics to strengthen the defense in the penalty area and protect the penalty area, which can well reduce Du Yue's threat.

However, even if Du Yue is not in the penalty area, he can still show his strength.

The two sides became entangled after the start of the game. Southampton controlled the ball and attacked, while Chelsea focused on defense, and then constantly looked for opportunities through counterattacks, trying to take the initiative first.

Chelsea's protection of the penalty area is quite good, especially when Southampton's ground defense is tighter, which makes them not reveal many flaws at the beginning of the game.

However, when the game progressed to No. 201 minutes, Du Yue scored a goal that surprised everyone.

De Bruyne took the ball in the midfield. This time he did not use a short pass to initiate an attack, but raised his foot and passed the ball directly from the midfield to the front of the penalty area.

Valverde, who went forward in that position, took off, and then grabbed the ball in front of Christensen and pushed the ball down!

Du Yue ran up from the midfield, threw Kanter away during the run, and then swung his right foot while running before Kanter caught up, and kicked the ball that Valverde pushed down hard!

The ball flew to the far corner of the goal whistling close to the ground. This non-stop volley was played cleanly. Mendy's reaction was also a beat slower. By the time he fell to the ground, the ball had already flown into his hand Dead corner of the goal!

"This is really an atypical Southampton goal! De Bruyne made a long pass to the front of the penalty area, Valverde flew the header, and Du Yue followed up with a shot directly on the ground! In the past few years, Du Yue and Val When Di partnered with the striker, there were some goals like this, but with Du Yue occupying the center position alone, Vardy faded out of the main lineup, and after Allais transferred and left, Southampton almost never played high! This time holding high and hitting high, it has an excellent effect!"

Ji Ya waved his arm. This is actually one of the offensive tactics that Southampton usually practice. Du Yue's ability to score outside the penalty area is actually not bad, but Southampton does not have a very good center forward now, so this tactic It can only be used occasionally. Valverde's header is more difficult to fight for. After all, although he is 1.8 meters two, he is not very good at it.

However, sometimes such an attack can be quite effective.

Just like this time, although it is difficult to replicate, after all, defending the high-altitude ball is relatively the simplest (and attacking the high-altitude ball is also the easiest, and simplicity means low efficiency), but use it at a critical moment, after taking advantage of it, It will be quite difficult for Chelsea to get back.

Tuchel's tactic itself is similar to Simeone's tactic at Atletico Madrid. It is nothing more than entangled everyone in the quagmire, but once the ball is lost, the game will not be easy to play.

After taking the lead, Southampton began to have more confidence to entangle with Chelsea. In the entanglement, the time of the first half slowly passed.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Southampton seized an opportunity to score another goal. Grealish, who advanced forward, received a pass from Soucek at the corner of the penalty area, swung past a defender and shot decisively. Going straight to the far corner, Southampton expanded its lead.

Chelsea, who were two goals behind, launched a vigorous attack. Abraham's forced breakthrough in the penalty area created a penalty kick. Mount made a penalty kick and narrowed the score to two to one.

However, in the rest of the time, Southampton once again showed their defensive ability, Chelsea tried their best to attack but failed to get any chances, and finally when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was locked at two. First, Southampton won the game with difficulty.

It is really difficult to watch the score.

However, fans who actually watched the game will know that Southampton did not expend too much energy to win the game. Most of the time they were constantly entangled with each other. Such entanglements may be difficult for ordinary teams. Physically and mentally exhausted, but Southampton, who has become accustomed to playing with the ball, is nothing more than a negligible consumption.

Simple victories are sometimes more important than brilliant victories.
