Chapter 989 The Suppression of Strength

Shakhtar Donetsk is indeed the strongest team in the Ukrainian league in recent years. Unlike Dynamo Kiev, they rose in the 21st century. In 2002, they won the first league championship and let Dynamo Kiev win ten consecutive championships. In the subsequent repeated competition with Dynamo Kiev, they relied on a wave of five consecutive championships to gain the upper hand. Although Dynamo Kiev won two league championships, starting from the 16-17 season, they He has already won three consecutive championships, and has won [-] league championships so far, second only to Dynamo Kiev who has won [-] league championships.

You must know that at the stage when the Ukrainian Super League was established, all the first nine league champions belonged to Dynamo Kiev. At that time, Dynamo Kiev was a symbol of Ukrainian football. Now Shakhtar Donetsk can catch up to this point , is indeed quite difficult.

Like Ukraine, they also have amazing moves in the Champions League. It is common for them to reach the knockout stage. If this is not the case, they will not accumulate such a reputation so quickly, although there are always tragedies in the Champions League. , For example, losing [-]-[-] to a team like Bayern, but you must know that Bayern is a tragedy machine, and it is very difficult for ordinary teams to win against them.

This can be seen from their home record against Premier League teams in the Champions League. So far, they have played against Premier League teams at home eight times in the Champions Cup, with five wins, two draws and one loss. The only loss They still lost to Manchester City last season, that is to say, before last season, they even maintained their home unbeaten record against Premier League teams!

It is very rare to achieve this. We must know that the Premier League team has been very strong since the new century, and it is a bit commendable to be able to achieve such a result in the Champions League.

However, in recent years, they have sold a lot of good players, such as Fernandinho, Teixeira, Douglas Costa, Fred, these are very good players, some players who have not transferred It's also getting bigger, after all, it's not always possible to find useful players every time you pan for gold from Brazil.

The current miners are still dominated by local players and Brazilian players, but on the whole, they seem to be a little worse.

The skills of Eastern European players have always been good, not to mention the Brazilian players, and their physical fitness is also good, so they can perform quite well on the court. However, facing teams with excellent ball control ability like Southampton and Manchester City, their Advantages are often difficult to play out.

After coming to Ukraine, Ji Ya has been arranging the tactics of entanglement in possession and quick counterattack. This tactic is quite effective against a technical team like the miners but without overall ball control ability.

The miners' tactics are offensive, relying on overall assistance and the individual abilities of those technical players in the frontcourt to create opportunities.

They must attack. If they don't attack, the basis of their entire team's game will cease to exist. This is why they will be beaten [-]-[-] by Bayern. The German team likes this kind of must attack, and the attack The pressure is not so great that they have a headache for the team.

Ji Ya also likes such a team.

In this game, he sent a four-four-two lineup, goalkeeper Mendy, defender Cancelo, Chilwell, De Ligt, Araujo, midfielder De Bruyne, Soucek, Valverde, Grealish, striker Du Yue, B Fei.

This is a lineup that focuses on ball possession and forward offense, and it is dealing with teams like the miners.

The home stadium of the Miners can accommodate 4 people. This is a four-star stadium. In this game, there are no empty seats for the fans of the Miners-because it is too far away, even if it is the opponent in the Champions League, the number of fans of the visiting team will not be too much. Many, so their home field advantage is often great.

Southampton fans basically did not come, it is indeed a bit far away, and the Southampton club also discourages fans from running that far, but for Southampton players, they will not come because they are all home teams. Fans, while there is nothing to shake.

After playing, facing the shouts from the stands, the Southampton players were still talking and laughing, unmoved.

"What would it be like to win the Champions Cup seven times in a row? From this game on, we are about to win the Champions Cup for seven consecutive times!"

This is what Kiya said before the game started, and this is what the Southampton players want to hear!

That's right, seven consecutive championships started from this game.

Let's start by beating up the second-tier team in this group!

The miners sitting at home are also full of momentum, so from the beginning of the game, they entangled with Southampton, hoping to quickly create opportunities.

Southampton uses the constant running and control of the midfield to create opportunities, compress the opponent's offensive opportunities, and gradually grasp the initiative on the field.

Southampton's tactic is not uncommon, but even a team like Manchester City and Liverpool will only be slowly suppressed by Southampton with possession of the ball when facing Southampton.

This is Southampton's strongest point, and it is also the point that the opponent can't fight well even if they know it well.

After gradually controlling the midfield, Southampton's offense also began to gradually become a threat.

Grealish was tripped by the opponent's midfielder when he got the ball from the left. Southampton got a free kick from the wing. De Bruyne's free kick was passed into the penalty area. , the ball goes slightly wide of the far post.

This is Southampton's first threatening shot in this game, but Southampton's offense has just begun.

Soon, Southampton also made a free kick on the right, and Cancelo, who went forward, was brought down by the opponent's defender. Facing Southampton's wing breakthrough, the miners' defense could only continue to pass fouls To deal with it, this has proved that the miners are beginning to be unable to withstand Southampton's attack.

It is indeed an incredible thing that the miners sitting at home were suppressed by Southampton so easily.

Cancelo took a free kick, and De Ligt, who went forward, shook his head from a distance and the ball flew out of the baseline from the near corner.

Two minutes later, Southampton played a beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt again. After Du Yue retreated, he made a two-for-one cooperation with De Bruyne, and then passed the ball to the right. Valverde kept going forward. The ball was passed directly, and B Fei nodded and ferried the ball behind. De Bruyne, who advanced forward, shot directly without stopping the ball, and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper to the bottom line!

Seeing that Southampton's offense is becoming more and more threatening, the fans of the home team began to worry, but what they don't know is that it is too early to worry now, and it will not be too late to worry after Southampton scores a goal .
