Chapter 984 Winning Seven Times
Chapter 984 Winning Seven Times
Chelsea's oppressive attack has shown an extremely good state, and it also proves that they do have many outstanding attackers.
However, with Southampton's strength, of course they will not continue to be beaten by them.
So after this wave of suppressed attacks, it was Southampton's turn to counterattack.
De Ligt once received a header from a corner kick, but it was a little higher than the crossbar.
Alvarez also had a header, but it was confiscated by Kepa.
This wave of Southampton's offense also created a lot of opportunities, but Chelsea's defense appeared to be very stable, and when they were pressed by their opponents, their style of play was a little more calm. Things cannot be changed. Although Lampard asked to play offense after he took office, they still performed better when they defended and counterattacked.
On the final 36 minutes of the game, Chelsea completed a perfect counterattack. Kante intercepted Phillips' forward pass at the back, then dribbled the ball forward himself, and after crossing the midfield, he passed the ball to Pu. Lisic, the American winger dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area, and then passed it diagonally to the penalty area. Giroud, who advanced forward, kicked and shot the far corner before Araujo made up for it. The ball flew into the dead corner of the goal. Dee couldn't make a save.
One to one tie, without any warning on the field, Chelsea equalized the score!
This equalizer made the fans of Southampton very upset, and the fans of Chelsea began to shout loudly. They celebrated the goal and firmly believed that the victory of this game must belong to them!
After this goal, the game began to reach a deadlock, both sides were a little weak to attack again, and entered the intermission [-]-[-].
Ji Ya didn't say much during the intermission, but asked the players to remain calm and focused in the second half. There is really nothing to say tactically. Southampton's ball possession is definitely not as good as last season, but In terms of offense, he can play more flexibly.
At the same time, before the start of the second half, Ji Ya immediately used up a substitution.
Vardy comes on and replaces Alvarez.
Such an immediate substitution seemed a bit impatient, but Ji Ya didn't care. In his opinion, he didn't change for the sake of changing. Of course, his substitution was intentional.
Chelsea's defense finally adapted to Southampton's flexible running offense, but now they have replaced a more standard center forward on the field. It will be more difficult for them to deal with it...will it be more difficult?
The same is true.
After the start of the second half, Southampton quickly launched a beautiful attack.
De Bruyne handed it to Valverde. Valverde pretended to dribble forward, but lifted the ball directly into the penalty area.
When he passed the ball, Du Yue ran laterally, attracting some attention, while Vardy resolutely moved forward-as a veteran, his rich experience made his judgment quite accurate.
Facing the falling ball, Vardy unloaded the ball lightly and directly faced the goalkeeper.
Kepa attacked in time, and the defense hadn't retreated at this time, but when he attacked, Vardy swung his feet and passed the ball sideways!
Vinicius, who followed up, faced a huge empty goal, and almost without thinking, he kicked and shot, and the ball flew into the empty goal!
"Goal in! What an astonishment! What seemed to be an inadvertent attack after Southampton's kick-off in the second half, it tore through Chelsea's defense! Valverde picked a pass, Vardy single-handedly, then he split the ball, Vinicius Score a goal against an empty goal! Two to one, Southampton leads!"
This goal caught Chelsea off guard, especially Lampard, who was inexperienced and didn't know what to do in such a situation. Chelsea could only continue to play on the field in a daze.
Facing such an opponent, the Southampton players will naturally not be polite. They quickly began to suppress Chelsea, continue to attack and look for opportunities.
After being suppressed by Southampton for more than ten minutes, Chelsea found a chance to counterattack. At this time, the physical fitness of both sides had dropped a lot, and their running was not as active as before...
The mutual consumption in the first half had a huge impact on both sides.
Lampard finally moved at this time. He changed two people in one breath. Mount and Abraham played, replaced Kovacic and Giroud, and strengthened the offense.
Although Giroud scored a goal, his physical energy was indeed consumed under the pressure of the Southampton defender.
Ji Ya also used up two substitutions. Soucek replaced Phillips, and Grealish replaced Vinicius to increase the running and control of the midfield.
Compared with Ji Ya's sophisticated substitutions, Lampard does look a little younger.
In the ensuing entanglement, Southampton once again relied on the ability to control the midfield and gained the upper hand. On the contrary, Chelsea's control in the midfield decreased because of Kovacic's end, and they could only use more fast breaks. Come attack.
The score has an advantage, and the scene also has an advantage. In such a situation, it is almost impossible for Southampton to let the victory slip away from them.
The stalemate in the first half allowed Southampton to find a place where Chelsea could be used, and the mutual consumption in the first half also made Chelsea, whose overall cooperation was poorer, appear more vulnerable in the second half.
In the No.705 minute of the game, Southampton once again completed a beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt. Du Yue switched to the left to get the ball, and then passed it directly to the penalty area. Near the bottom line, and then the ball came back from an inverted triangle pass. Grealish, who followed up, was in place and easily kicked the goal. It was [-] to [-], and Southampton expanded its lead.
Chelsea replaced midfielder Barkley and continued to strengthen the attack. Finally, in stoppage time, Pedro crossed into the penalty area. Abraham received the ball and was about to shoot. Mendy who was attacking saved it. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Jorginho The penalty hit, Chelsea recovered a point.
Unfortunately, by this time it was too late.
Southampton held on to their lead for the remainder of the game, keeping the score alive until the end of the game through constant possession.
Three to two, Southampton beat Chelsea, which took them to a seventh UEFA Super Cup, leading the way in that honor...
Behind them are AC Milan, which has won five championships, and Barcelona, which has won four championships. No matter who they are, there is still a certain gap between them.
Although it is still difficult for Southampton to surpass others in the number of Champions Cups and league titles, it is relatively easy to win the first position in these relatively unimportant games. Seven European Super Cups, Five Club World Cups, these are all records, and they are records that cannot be broken in a short period of time!
