Chapter 1158 The whole is very strong

This week's rest is actually quite important to the Southampton players.

Since the beginning of this season, they have played games almost every week. Occasionally, they will fly to Qatar to play in the Club World Cup. Under such circumstances, although their physical pressure is actually not very great, However, the psychological pressure has gradually accumulated, and such a period of rest can recharge them well, allowing them to face the game in a better state.

And in the next period of time, they will have another mid-week rest, which is the week before the start of the Champions League knockout round-after all, Southampton really has too many games.

After a week of rest, Southampton's players began to look relatively relaxed.

Their games were indeed relatively intensive in the next period of time. If Levi hadn't fired Mourinho and made Southampton's League Cup semi-finals a little easier, their troubles would have been even greater.

However, Levi would inexplicably fire Mourinho before the game against Southampton, which is indeed Southampton's luck.

This kind of luck made the Southampton players firm their opinion, thinking that their luck this season is in a pretty good situation!

Such self-confidence can also better inspire the fighting spirit of Southampton players.

After coming to Manchester, the Southampton players waited for the start of the game. Regarding Southampton, Manchester United fans had mixed feelings. They made Ferguson unable to win the league title in the last season, but they are also in the next season. In a short period of time, they suppressed Manchester City, the arch-rival in the same city. Otherwise, with the momentum of Manchester City in the past few seasons, Manchester United may look bleak!

So for Southampton's emotions, they are a little grateful and a little unhappy.

But in such a game, they will still use their greatest enthusiasm to support their home team.

The atmosphere at Old Trafford is always very good. The largest stadium in England owned by the club still has its pride. The stands with a capacity of 3000 people are full, but for this, Southampton players They will no longer be envious, because Southampton's home stadium was expanded again this summer, and the current capacity has reached 8000 people, which is only [-] seats less than Old Trafford. It is the second largest club-owned stadium in England.

So now Southampton players will not envy any club. Their stadium is already one of the best in the world, and it is not inferior to the hardware facilities of any giants!

"Players from both sides! For Manchester United, this will be an extremely important game. If they beat Southampton, they will narrow the gap with Southampton to six points, although they still have two games less. , but Southampton's first defeat this season will undoubtedly boost the confidence of other teams! And if they lose, then they have almost no chance! Solskjaer sent a four-three-three lineup in the game! Goalkeeper De Gea, the two full backs are Wan Bissaka and Luke Shaw, the central defender Lindelof and Maguire are partnered, the midfielder Fred and McTominay are the double midfielders, and the attacking midfielder B Fee , the three forwards are Sancho and Rashford on the wings, and Cavani is the center forward! This is a very strong lineup, and it is also Manchester United's current starting lineup! There are also Bailey, Telles, and Fan on the bench. Stars such as De Becker, James, Martial, Pogba and Matic, the overall thickness of Manchester United is indeed good now! Southampton also sent their four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Martin, Cancelo, Chilwell, Araujo and De Ligt on the defensive line, midfielder Soucek in the middle, Grealish and De Bruyne on both sides, Du Yue as the center forward, and two wingers It's Vinicius and Valverde! This is also Southampton's starting lineup, with Rudiger, Peters, McAllister, Bellingham, Alvarez, Musiala on the bench Waiting for great players! The thickness of the benches on both sides is excellent!"

The commentator said happily that the overall Premier League is quite strong now, which is actually reflected in these aspects. A strong team has many stars and strong overall strength. Even the substitutes are quite famous.

Southampton and Manchester United are both such teams, and there are three or four such teams in the Premier League. There is no league that can compete with the Premier League as a whole, not even La Liga, let alone the dominant Bundesliga. A and Serie A with little money.

The fans of Manchester United and Southampton in the stands started to cheer at the same time. They were looking forward to seeing a wonderful match.

Of course, Solskjaer will not choose to be conservative in such a game. Against a team like Southampton, you can't relax at all. Once you back down a little bit, you will definitely be pressed and squeezed by Southampton every step of the way. There is no space at all.

And Ji Ya never thought of playing this game with an ordinary entanglement. Manchester United's offense is really good, and their offensive ability is also very good. There are shooters like Cavani, Sancho and Rashford. A young talent with excellent speed and skills, B Fei, a player who can create enough threats outside the penalty area, they don't have much problem in forcing offense.

So if they use defensive counterattacks to deal with them, it may not be very good. Although their two central defenders turn around a bit slowly, but with the assistance of a defensive champion like Wan Bissaka, the problem will not be too big. Most importantly, they will lose. Southampton's own best ball-handling offensive tactics give up the initiative of the game to others.

This is not a good thing.

So in this game, Southampton's tactics are also offensive.

The data that exceeds Manchester United's more than 20 league goals is Southampton's greatest confidence.

Under such circumstances, both sides showed excellent offensive capabilities immediately after the start of the game!

McTominay got the ball from the back. Du jumped up to grab it. McTominay passed the ball quickly. Fred received the ball and went forward. At Reid's feet, the Brazilian midfielder took a shot from the front of the penalty area, and the ball went above the crossbar.

Southampton quickly launched a counterattack, Du Yue retreated to get the ball, and then passed it to De Bruyne, who moved to the left, Grealish directly distributed it to Vinicius, and Vinicius took the ball. After the ball, he cut in and shot, and the ball was saved by De Gea, who was in a good position.

The first half of the game kicked off with an attack from both sides.
