Chapter 945 Smoke Bombs Must Be Released

In this round, Southampton won a big victory, and Liverpool and Manchester City did not pull their hips. Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace [-]-[-] in an away game, and Liverpool defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] at home in a strong dialogue-this is not one. It is an easy task, after all, they have just played the Champions League match, although the opponent Porto is weak, but the [-]-[-] victory over Porto at home is also a lot of consumption.

Obviously, at this time, everyone is going to fight.

After the game, Ji Ya flew to Manchester with the whole team, and at this time, a noticeable thing appeared-in the Southampton team flying to Manchester, there was no Du Leaping figure!

When asked about this, Ji Ya still looked very calm.

"Du Yue needs continuous rest and treatment. Flying to Southampton with us before he recovered will have a big impact on him, so we chose to let him continue to receive the best treatment in Southampton. , and then arrive on the day of the game. He doesn’t need to do any training with us, he can use it when he arrives.”

Ji Ya’s words are also very reasonable. Generally speaking, minor injuries depend on how well the treatment and recuperation have been done in the past few days. If they are done well, they will heal quickly. Rest for a longer period of time to recover.

Moreover, Du Yue has been the main player in Southampton for three years, and there is really no need to run in before the game to play well. It is just a blank period of one week.

Such an explanation is reasonable, but Manchester City fans are muttering-this is not a smoke bomb, is it?

This is really a smoke bomb.

Although Guardiola did not allow himself to be affected, on the day the game started, all Manchester City fans greeted Southampton and Ji Ya with huge boos.

Because they think that Ji Ya is not honest at all, where is the gentleman's demeanor!

Southampton's starting lineup was reported at the last minute. Du Yue's name was not included in the starting lineup, not even the squad...

Du Yue didn't come to Manchester at all, but stayed in Southampton to continue recuperating.

This also caused quite a few reporters waiting outside Manchester Airport to curse, and Ji Ya has wiped them out too.

"Du Yue's injury doesn't look serious." When shaking hands with Ji Ya, Guardiola couldn't help but say something.

"It's a bit serious, but I'll be back next month." Ji Ya laughed.

"It's useless to come back at that time. At most, I will go to the league to score a few more goals and complete his record." Guardiola replied.

"Let's wait and see." Ji Ya shrugged.

"The players from both sides are already on the field! We saw Ji Ya and Pep Guardiola shaking hands... This game is bound to be a fight! Manchester City's starting lineup is their usual four-three-three! Goalkeeper Ederson, two sides The defenders are Walker and Mendy, the central defenders are the old captain Kompany and Laporte! Midfielders Fernandinho, Gundogan and David Silva, forwards Bernardo Silva, A Queiro, Sterling! Compared with the first round, the left back was replaced by Mendy, the central defender Kompany started, and Bernardo replaced Mahrez on the forward line! Southampton's starter There have also been some changes, goalkeeper Mendy, defender Cancelo, Chilwell, Maguire and De Ligt! Midfielder De Bruyne, Rodri, Grealish, Sancho, Bruno Fernandez , Vardy came forward as a single striker! Compared with the first round, Sancho started, and B Fei replaced Du Yue. This is a smooth substitution!"

The commentators began to explain the starting lineups of the two sides. Of course, Du Yue's matter was also mentioned...

"Southampton's coach Ji Ya had vowed that Du Yue would arrive before the game, but in fact no one appeared in Manchester... Southampton's squad also proved that in this game , Du Yue is not among them! This is Ji Ya's smoke bomb. He even deceived everyone. I didn't expect that Ji Ya didn't even blink his eyes when he told a lie. I thought he was a master who was not good at lying. What about the coach?"

Many commentators complained about Ji Ya, but it is obvious that everyone knows that it is normal to set off smoke bombs under such circumstances, and no one can make irresponsible remarks on Ji Ya in this regard .

On the field, players from both sides have been scattered on the field, and now everyone is actually concerned about one thing - in this game, will the two sides still play so dull?

No one dared to draw conclusions, although they all felt that the last game was an exception. Given Southampton's overall strength, it would be very difficult to suppress Manchester City like that. Based on the overall possession of the ball and the offense, it is possible to continuously score goals through fast breaks.

Otherwise, even Southampton and Manchester City would not be able to stand the style of play in the first round.

Of course, this is the most logical idea, but facing the two top coaches, Ji Ya and Guardiola, their thinking may be beyond the reach of others!

Maybe they will choose less logical tactics that have proven to be more effective?It's not the first time they've done this.

With that in mind, the race begins.

Manchester City, sitting at home, quickly launched an attack.

Although they still mainly organize offenses in the midfield, their offenses are played very quickly.

Gundogan quickly completed a through pass in the midfield. Aguero immediately started to go forward to form a single goal. However, Dericht quickly returned to the defense. Aguero did not have extra time. He immediately chose to shoot. The ball Mendi, who was attacked, touched the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line...

Gundogan took a corner kick, but the first point was controlled by Maguire. He pushed the ball out first, and Southampton took advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack!

Rodri also grabbed the first point outside the penalty area. He gave the ball to De Bruyne. After receiving the ball, De Bruyne passed the ball to Sancho immediately. Ball forward!

He quickly passed the midfield, then raised his foot and transferred the ball to the other side of the court. After receiving the ball, B Fei, who followed up, dribbled the ball forward forcibly, and then took a shot from the top of the penalty area. The ball was slightly higher than beam.

"Beautiful! After the opening, the pace of the game between the two sides was very fast, and they each created a shot! From this point, it can be seen that in this game, both sides intend to play more aggressively! This is for neutral fans. Saying no doubt is good news!"

The narrator shouted happily.

And Guardiola looked at the coaching bench of the visiting team from a distance.
