Chapter 897
In all fairness, facing the offense of the irritated Southampton players, even the substitute players, it is indeed quite difficult to achieve this step.
The Southampton players also admired it in their hearts.
But admiration belongs to admiration, and they will not slack off.
Although they are substitutes, they are the substitutes of the team that won the Champions League five consecutive times. Although most of them have only experienced one or two seasons in Southampton, the pride related to Southampton has always been in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, how could they be a little shaken?
Since consecutive offenses cannot score goals, then we will use more offenses to create opportunities!
Therefore, in the following time, the players of Kashima Antlers began to feel the suppressing ability of Southampton.
B Fee and McAllister played consecutive passes on the left and then were brought down by the opponent's defender. Southampton got a free kick close to the wing. Prowse took a free kick. Te grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball missed the baseline slightly.
A few minutes later, Southampton's offense made a comeback. Phillips who went forward passed the ball to B Fee, who then divided it to the right. Sancho made a pass from the bottom and the ball flew to the middle. Alvarez He shook his head first to attack the goal, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Although these two shots failed to hit the goal frame, they were quite threatening. They just brushed the goal post or the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. If this kind of attack is slightly more direct, it can basically become a goal!
Kashima Antlers started to launch a counterattack to delay the pressure on their side, but they also began to feel that the offense became more difficult when they attacked. In the end, they only relied on a set kick to complete the shot, and then they were defeated by Southampton. Dun was suppressed again...
Southampton's midfielder began to pass continuously, looking for opportunities to score goals, while the players of Kashima Antlers ran back and forth patiently, constantly blocking Southampton's offense.
Facing the ball possession offense, you need to strengthen your concentration, don't show too many flaws in the game, and don't give the opponent too many opportunities.
As a weak team, the players of Kashima Antlers are still very calm in mentality. They did not have any unrealistic ideas because they were on par with Southampton before, but patiently waited for the opportunity arrival.
"Kashima Antlers' defense is quite solid, and they have gradually begun to adapt to Southampton's offensive rhythm! If they continue to play like this, maybe Southampton will be more upset and irritable."
A commentator commented that such an evaluation is not wrong, even though Southampton's substitutes have a good mentality, but as a strong team, being unable to attack repeatedly is a headache.
If this situation continues, Southampton's players will start to have mental problems, which is quite normal.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the remaining time in the first half was getting less and less. When the game reached No. 403 minutes, many people began to feel that Kashima Antlers might set a new record... …
After Southampton started playing in the Club World Cup, they have never gone an entire first half without scoring!
Even though they always sent all the substitutes to play in the semi-finals, they never said that they failed to score in the first half.
Kashima Antlers seems to be creating such a new record?
Although such a record seems nonsensical, for Southampton, who have been invincible in the Champions Cup and Club World Cup in the past few years, such a record will be broken, which is also a proof of their declining strength!
However, at this moment, Southampton launched an extremely sharp attack!
The game went to No. 404 minutes.
Sancho took the ball on the right, and Peters also came up to assist at this time. He ran on the inside and Sancho passed the ball to him.
Kashima Antlers' defense did not show any flaws, but Sancho quickly chose to go forward after passing the ball, while Peters made a straight pass and passed the ball back to his feet!
Sancho, who took the ball again, was actually facing a complete line of defense, but when the opponent's left back rushed up, Sancho did not pass the ball, but chose to break through the penalty area forcibly!
Speed plus skill!
Sancho looked radiant at this moment. He first accelerated, and then made an emergency stop when the opponent pounced on him, and then changed his lane horizontally and directly entered the restricted area of Kashima Antlers!
"Think we only attack by passing? Don't be kidding!" Ji Ya roared in his heart.
The constant transmission of offense before was just to let the opponent fall into this thinking mode.
And Sancho's breakthrough this time immediately caused Kashima Antlers' defense line to become a little messy.
A central defender rushed forward, but Sancho, who broke through horizontally, made an emergency stop again, and then broke through towards the bottom line!
Two consecutive direction-changing breakthroughs, passing the opponent's two defenders!
However, two consecutive breakthroughs in such a narrow environment seem to put him in a disadvantageous situation. Now he faces the goal at a very small angle. At this time, it seems that only passing is the most reasonable choice. .
Apparently the players at Kashima Antlers thought so too.
"Keep an eye on the people in the penalty area who are about to grab points!"
Kashima Antlers' goalkeeper Kwon Chun-tae shouted loudly. He was very proud when he commanded like this. After all, he can remain calm at this time, which is the quality of an excellent goalkeeper!
However, the next moment, he saw Sancho swung his right foot and resolutely shot from a small angle!
This completely made him make a mistake in his judgment and slowed down his movement a step. When the ball flew past his eyes, it was too late for him to make another save!
The ball quickly flew to the back of the goal, hit the inside of the post, and bounced into the opponent's goal!
One to zero!At the end of the first half, Sancho completed this beautiful goal with a wonderful individual performance!
After the goal, Sancho opened his arms and started running on the field, while other players rushed up and chased after him.
"The Japanese are really a bit brain-dead. Do you think that our ball-handling tactics can only be passed around? We have never lacked breakthrough masters. Even Barcelona back then couldn't do without Messi." Ji Ya While clapping his hands, he was thinking in his heart.
Indeed, Southampton's ball-handling tactics have never been short of breakthrough hands, even if it is a substitute lineup. If you think that you can block Southampton's ball-handling attack if you don't relax, you are indeed a bit naive. .
