Chapter 1159: Goalkeeper's Performance

The two sides that are good at offense are not very good at defense.

Manchester United has now conceded 27 goals, while Southampton has conceded 26. Considering that Southampton has two games less, the defense of both sides does not seem to be very good.

However, in fact, the defense of both sides is not bad. Southampton's defense is quite solid, and Manchester United's defense has also strengthened a lot.

So at the beginning of the game, although both sides were working hard to attack, they didn't get any good opportunities.

Manchester United's return to defense is very fast, and their two central defenders have excellent frontal defense capabilities when there is not much space behind them.

It's just that Southampton is also very familiar with this situation. When the frontal attack effect was not good, they began to choose to bypass the opponent's front and attack from the side, and achieved good results!

Du Yue gave the ball to Vinicius. Vinicius cut inside after getting the ball. After attracting enough attention, he passed the ball to the wing. Chilwell followed up and took a step after receiving the ball. Dribbled the ball near the baseline, and then passed the ball directly into the penalty area!

This pass, which is already very close to the goal, is quite fast-otherwise it will be intercepted by the opponent halfway. The ball quickly flew past the middle of the penalty area. He got stuck, stopped Luke Shaw behind him, and then outflanked and shot the far corner first!

As soon as De Gea turned around, he saw the ball flying past him, and when he thought about falling to the ground, he was already a step slower. He only had time to turn his head, and saw the ball flying to the back of the goal. , then hit the far post and bounced into the goal...

In an instant, the cheers of Southampton fans and the sighs of Manchester United fans sounded in the stands.

After attacking each other, Southampton took the lead in opening the scoring. The connection of the two full-backs allowed Southampton to take the lead in No. 17 minutes!

However, the Manchester United players were not discouraged by this conceded goal.

As a team that scored many goals and conceded many goals, they are also used to conceding goals, so after the game restarted, they did not show any other emotions, but launched an attack more steadily.

Their midfield control ability is obviously much worse than that of Southampton, but the offense of running and fast passing is better.

So a few minutes later, Luke Shaw's breakthrough after receiving the ball created a free kick in the front court. B Fee drove the ball into the penalty area. Lindelof, who advanced and assisted, took the lead, but the ball missed the far post.

Although it missed, the threat of this attack was quite great. If Lindelof's shot was more accurate, it would be difficult for goalkeeper Martin to respond.

This kind of offense proves that as long as Manchester United launches an offense normally, it can create good opportunities in the game!

And the next attack is a good proof of this point.

Just 2 minutes later, Maguire sent a beautiful long pass from the backcourt. Luke Shaw went forward to receive the ball, then dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and when Araujo went to block it, he split the ball. It was given to Sancho, Sancho passed the ball back to the middle of the penalty area in an inverted triangle, Cavani's running took away De Ligt, and Rashford, who was switched to the middle, easily kicked and scored!

"Beautiful cooperation! Three ex-Southampton players teamed up to tear apart Southampton's defense, and then Manchester United's youth training Rashford completed the goal in relay! Let's look at the process of this goal again ... Tsk tsk, Southampton's defense has been completely torn apart! It's not easy to do this, the score is one to one, although it took 25 minutes to score a goal, but the offensive strength shown by both sides , is still pretty good!"

Rashford and his team-mates hugged amidst the commentator's chants, and the United fans in the stands started chanting their names loudly for the goal.

When facing Southampton, their performance was not too inferior, which seems to mean that Manchester United has begun to get on the right track.

Manchester United fans are quite sensitive to such changes. After Ferguson retired, Manchester United has been in chaos, and some changes have gradually begun to appear recently. This of course makes Manchester United fans start to have more expectations.

Ji Ya didn't have much reaction to this. Manchester United's offense itself is quite flexible. This is also a situation where Southampton's defense is relatively difficult to be watertight. After all, the three opponents are active players running back and forth. It's hard to kill them, and sometimes all they need is a little space.

Of course, it doesn't matter, as long as Southampton continues to attack, they will always have a lot of opportunities.

You have to be more patient than attacking. In the beginning, you will gradually wear down the opponent's defense line. After achieving such a tactical goal, it will be much easier to score goals.

Southampton started to counterattack after re-kick-off. A few minutes later, Du Yue broke through and made a free kick. De Bruyne's free kick bypassed the wall, but was saved by De Gea in time, and hit the ball out of the baseline with a single punch .

De Bruyne took a corner kick, and De Gea struck in time to save the ball.

"De Gea is in good form for this game," Kiya said.

Benelli nodded in agreement. The last time he played against Manchester United, De Gea was in a mediocre state. In the first half, Southampton scored three goals in a row, so that the midfielder was replaced. In this game, he obviously If you want to avenge your shame, the state is indeed quite good.

"However, we never expect the opponent's goalkeeper to reveal many flaws when we score goals." Ji Ya added.

"And our goalkeeper is not bad," Benelli replied.

A few minutes later, Manchester United launched a counterattack. After continuous passing, Sancho passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. B Fei adjusted slightly after receiving the ball and volleyed from the top of the penalty area. The quality of this shot It's also quite high, but Martin reacted in time, quickly made a side attack, and narrowly saved the ball over the baseline!

"Martin showed no signs of weakness! His timely save made B Fei's high-quality long-range shot fail to score!"

Under the narrator's shout, Big Martin got up from the ground, and then shook his fist vigorously.

For Martin, after becoming the main force this season, his performance needs some adaptation period, and Ji Ya is not impatient with him, but gave him enough opportunities, now, it is time for him to pay back!

Martin now has absolute confidence in his state and performance.

He is also the best age for a goalkeeper now, and it is time for him to make achievements!
