Chapter 911 The Anniversary Can’t Be Missed

Indeed, this is the tenth season that Kiya has coached Southampton. In the first nine seasons, Southampton has achieved very brilliant results. Needless to say, eight consecutive European championships, even coaching Southampton In Dunton's first season, Southampton also won the play-off championship, the League Cup championship and the England Championship in the League One. This is actually an unprecedented achievement!

So if Southampton does not have a league title or a Champions League title this season, even if they can still win an FA Cup, plus victories in the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup, this season is all for them. It was a failure.

Ji Ya does not want to encounter such a failed season, especially in his tenth year of coaching the team.

Ten is an integer. In many cases, this number has a different meaning. Ji Ya does not want to let his tenth anniversary of coaching become a failure.

After a week of rest, Southampton ushered in the FA Cup game. Southampton's FA Cup games have always been played by substitutes, and this game is no exception.

It was an easy game for Southampton to challenge the English Championship team Derby County away. The substitutes performed quite well in the away game. Alvarez, Sancho and Vinicius formed a trident. Their speed and technique are constantly looking for opportunities.

Now Southampton's main lineup is actually not very fixed. In addition to Du Yue's solid forward position, B Fei gradually began to compete with Vardy. Alvarez often performed well as a substitute. The main players in the midfield are relatively stable, but the others are not without opportunities. The same is true for the defense line. The three central defenders may become the main players. In this way, the whole team will be more energetic.

In this game, Southampton's substitutes performed quite well. Sancho completed two assists, helping Alvarez and McAllister to score successively, while Vinicius scored through a solo performance. With the third goal, Southampton defeated their opponent [-]-[-] away and won the game.

"Okay, in four weeks, we will usher in the Champions League game, and in the next four weeks, we will add make-up games, play seven league games, and at least one FA Cup The game is basically like two games a week, there will be no rest time, but this is also a good opportunity for us to catch up with the points. My request is that in these seven rounds, we will at least We have to win five or six of them, understand? Otherwise, we will not have any chance to fight for the league title this season!"

After playing this FA Cup game, Ji Ya began to mobilize the whole team in the team. Indeed, the next period of time is before the start of the Champions League knockout round. It will be an opportunity for Southampton to continue to sprint. If If they can't narrow the gap with the top two to a level that looks good during this period of time, then this season, they won't be interesting.

What's more, even if Southampton has no hope for the league championship, they still have to compete for the top four. If in the end, Southampton does not win the top four, even if they win the Champions League, then It will also be a laughing stock.

The top four in the league and the championship of the Champions League, this is Ji Ya's minimum bottom line for this season, it cannot be lower than this.

And Southampton now has no problem with the midfield run-in. Ji Ya can use his best rotation tactics to continuously win consecutive victories against teams that are not very strong.

The stable ability to grab points was the key to Southampton's success in the previous seasons, but it has been lost this season, which is why Southampton's league this season does not seem to be doing well.

Southampton is really not doing well this season, not because Liverpool and Manchester City have performed so well. Although they have performed well, they have not never lost points, and Southampton is currently ranked sixth. It's a question of people's performance.

Now is a great opportunity to make up for that.

For the Southampton players, they are also very eager for the next game, eager to prove themselves through continuous victories.

And Southampton's next opponents Leicester City, Everton, Crystal Palace, Burnley and Cardiff City, as well as the two opponents Huddersfield and West Ham United in the make-up match, are not very outstanding. Among the teams, only Leicester City ranks eighth, and the others are all top ten teams. There are also several relegation teams. Facing these seven opponents, if they don't win five to six games, they really don't deserve to enter the league. champion!

In the first half of the season, Southampton actually lost points, most of which were lost on these mid-lower teams. The failure to get enough points on these teams is the key to their ranking. After all, against strong teams, They won Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal, and tied Manchester United, which means they lost one game to Liverpool.

If it hadn't been for too many draws with these middle and lower teams, they should also be in the position to hit the championship now.

With such a painful lesson, Southampton players will certainly not make such mistakes again in the next time.

They now have 37 points, two games less, [-] points behind top-ranked Liverpool and [-] points behind Manchester City.

"Let's see how far we can narrow the points gap before the start of the Champions Cup!" Ji Ya shouted to his players, waving his fists.

The players also responded loudly to his shouts. This is indeed what they want to do. Use the first seven league games since the Champions League to prove that there were some problems with their performance in the first half of the season, but Now, all these problems no longer exist!

For Leicester City, they still have some ideas in the next round of the league. After all, they are now ranked eighth, and it can be said that they are one step away from entering the European region. Puton, and although Southampton has recovered, their draw with Chelsea in the last round seems to prove that their state is not particularly stable. Under such circumstances, if Leicester City is lucky, they can win Leaving Southampton can be of great help to the impact of the second half of the season.

Southampton's level is of course very good, but they still have a lot of opportunities for Leicester City!

At their home court, they overturned Southampton and laid a good foundation for the sprint in the second half of the season!

That's what Leicester City thinks.
