Chapter 1160 Just go to the competition hard
Before him, Southampton's main goalkeepers can be regarded as all the meritorious deeds. Navas and the team were promoted together, winning three consecutive Europa League titles and the first Champions League title in club history. With the most Champions League titles and a triple crown so far, Mendy has completed the treble. Now it is his turn. He certainly does not want to be the worst goalkeeper in Southampton in the past ten years.
Of course, if you only talk about honor, Southampton's third goalkeeper Foster should be the strongest goalkeeper in history. After all, he is even the only one in Southampton so far when Ji Ya started coaching. Puton's players...
Although in the past ten years, he has played less than ten games in total.
The excellent performance of the two goalkeepers kept the game in a stalemate. The two sides continued to confront each other, looking for opportunities, while the defensive players of both sides surrounded the two goalkeepers, constantly resisting the opponent's attack.
In this kind of entanglement, if you want to score a goal, you often have to look at a certain amount of luck in addition to the offensive player's ability to seize opportunities.
Time slowly came to No. 309 minutes, Manchester United launched a very threatening attack.
Fred took the ball from the center and split it to the left, Luke Shaw took the ball, Rashford moved forward and involved Cancelo's attention, but Luke Shaw did not take the ball to the bottom, but adjusted it slightly After that, he passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot!
Cavani's astute movement allowed him to appear at the point where the ball landed. Facing the falling ball, before the junior Araujo of the national team had time to come to make up for it, Cavani leaned over and headed the ball into the The near corner of the goal!
Martin was a step slower in saving, and the ball quickly flew into Southampton's gate!
At this moment, a huge cheer erupted at Old Trafford, and the Manchester United fans were cheering, jumping, and going crazy for this goal!
Cavani landed and started running wildly. This goal was quite wonderful. When he joined Manchester United, many people thought that this old guy was here to mess around, but he proved it with one goal after another. Although he is old But it still works, it's a good gun!
"This guy's ability to grab points is really strong, although he keeps spitting out cakes." Ji Ya couldn't help but sigh.
This goal is a typical Cavani goal, with a smart movement to appear on the spot, throw the defender away, and then score easily - this is Cavani He has his own unique characteristics in running positions and grabbing points. If it is not because of his sometimes problematic shooting skills and frequent spitting of cakes, his goals may be able to compete with Melo.
Two to one, Manchester United took the lead at home. Such a lead is really not easy. Although it is only one goal ahead, how long has it been since Southampton has really fallen behind in the game?In the last round, they were one goal behind Aston Villa and entered the intermission, but everyone knew that with the strength of Aston Villa, it was difficult to resist Southampton's counterattack, while Manchester United had ability to do it!
When the half-time whistle sounded, there was warm applause from the stands. Manchester United fans were looking forward to seeing a victory and an opportunity for their team to revive!
"The performance in the first half was good. Although we were behind, it was only temporary... We created a lot of opportunities, but we just lacked a little bit of luck."
Ji Ya said in the locker room that his expression was very relaxed, and the expressions of the Southampton players were very relaxed. Their current mentality will definitely not be affected by a goal behind in the first half. Have a fairly clear understanding.
Not to mention only one goal behind, even if they are two goals behind, they will not feel discouraged, unless the situation is really bad to a certain extent.
Obviously, the first half was far from bad, and even Southampton had the upper hand.
"We can speed up a little bit when attacking and play behind their defense! We didn't make good use of this in the first half. You should be very clear about the characteristics of Maguire and Lindelof."
Ji Ya continued to talk, and the players continued to nod. This is true. The first half of the match was so exciting that they all forgot about this offensive method.
"Okay, that's all there is to say. In the game, if we continue to maintain the current mentality, no one can beat us... Take a good rest and work hard in the second half."
While Ji Ya was calmly talking about the tactics of the second half with the players, Solskjaer was loudly boosting the morale of the team. The lead in the first half itself was already quite positive for the players. With his encouragement, the morale of Manchester United players can be said to skyrocket to a limit.
It's actually no wonder that Southampton's strength this season is already known throughout Europe. So many strong teams have lost to them before. The improvement of the confidence of these players must be of great help.
Manchester United's rich background may also be established from then on!
"Continue to attack in the second half! See? In the mutual attack, we are no worse than them! Only in this way can we have a chance to win the game! We still need to pay attention to defense, but the most important thing is to attack!"
Solskjaer emphasized this point, and his emphasis made the Manchester United players quite agree. Their performance in the first half was not inferior, which also gave them more confidence. Get the last victory in the game!
And Solskjaer also changed someone during the halftime break. Van der Beek replaced Fred. The Brazilian midfielder took on quite a lot of tasks in the first half, participating in both offense and defense, and the field was almost full. Flying, physical energy is consumed quickly. In order to maintain the pressure of the midfield, it is also a good choice for the Dutch midfielder to play.
For Solskjaer, he now has enough substitutions.
Ji Ya did not make substitutions during the intermission. Although he is very used to substituting at this time, he would not do so when it is not necessary - Southampton players do not consume so much energy .
Players from both sides played, and soon, the press and confrontation started again in the midfield.
Ji Ya's attention was not on the field, but looked at Pogba on the opponent's bench - the Frenchman's performance this season has been a bit up and down, and he is also hated by Manchester United fans, but he is still capable and not Know if he will play in this game.
"Probably not. If he plays, let Bellingham play and compete with him." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.
