Chapter 863 The Importance of Veteran Experience
Southampton began to gradually control the midfield.
However, this just made Southampton's offense smoother, and it didn't help Southampton's defense much. Eindhoven's fast offense can also find good opportunities.
De Jong is not a particularly good striker, but his skills are very comprehensive. When he was at Ajax, De Jong played against De Jong. Now they meet again after more than a year. De Ligt has improved Quite a few, but in his opinion, although De Jong is still a very good opponent, he is not as capable of creating more pressure on himself as before.
And De Jong began to feel that this young opponent has made great progress over the past year.
Compared with before, De Jong will make better use of his body at the beginning, and at the same time constantly reduce the opponent's attack space by forcing. At the same time, even when his side is attacking, his attention is quite concentrated, ready to move forward at any time Docking should either be defensive.
"Training and progress in the top giants is fast." De Jong sighed in his heart.
But he also knows that his level is not particularly outstanding, not the kind of genius who became famous at a young age, he is just an ordinary player, relying on his own efforts, he can still gain a foothold in professional football.
just like now...
An attack by Southampton was blocked by Eindhoven, and Eindhoven immediately launched a counterattack!
A long pass from the backcourt flew over, and De Jong and De Ligt rushed to the ball's landing point at the same time. In terms of height and confrontation, De Jong was at a disadvantage, but he stuck to De Ligt with his body firmly, It made it impossible for Dericht to complete the clearance in the first time.
The ball flew past both of them at the same time.
This is the opportunity that De Jong spelled out with experience.
He must be at a disadvantage in confrontation and grabbing the first spot. However, under such circumstances, De Jong used a similar method to entangle De Ligt!
The midfielder Lozano, who was inserted in the back row, quickly rushed past the two of them, and then strode towards the ball.
Maguire returned to the defense on the other side, but this kind of defense was not what he was good at. When he retreated, Lozano had already caught the ball and broke into the penalty area. shoot!
The ball flew over Mendy's head, then began to fall, and flew into the Southampton gate!
The Eindhoven fans in the stands immediately burst into wild shouts, celebrating the goal wildly.
They saw hope of victory.
Lozano started to celebrate wildly. For this Mexican attacker, this goal was his first goal in a European game.
He was eliminated in the Europa League qualifiers in PSV last season, but the next season was very wonderful. He scored [-] goals throughout the season and helped PSV get the league title champion.
Of course, everyone knows that the Eredivisie is just a springboard. After achieving an outstanding performance in the Champions League, and then going to a strong team in the four major leagues, this is what they need to pursue.
"When we were attacking, our defense was still somewhat weakened. In fact, we were like this before, but our offense was excellent. Even if we conceded the ball, it would not be a big problem, so it would not become a hidden danger. Now our offense has a little problem. It seems that the defense is very average." Benelli sighed.
"That's the reason, but it's not difficult to solve it." Ji Ya cast his eyes on the field.
Ji Ya is not worried about being one goal behind. In the previous game, Southampton also created a lot of opportunities, but they didn't grasp them. As long as the midfielder continues to have an advantage, then scoring a goal means a matter of time.
It is actually quite difficult for Eindhoven to fight back.
Sure enough, after the re-kick-off, Southampton quickly created a pretty good opportunity. Du Yue scored the ball to Grealish. Grealish broke through and the pass was blocked by the opposing defender.
De Bruyne took a corner kick, and Vardy shook his head to attack the goal first. The ball hit the crossbar and the post and popped out of the bottom line.
"It's a pity! Vardy's header is beautiful, but it's just a little bit worse!" the commentator shouted.
Vardy shook his head after landing, and was about to run back when Du Yue patted him on the back.
"Hey, Jamie, what's the matter recently? Don't let me steal the limelight!" Du Yue said.
Vardy was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"Don't worry, I'm not too old to score goals!"
Seeing that Vardy ran back after saying this, Du Yue smiled and ran back.
Recently, Du Yue is actually very tired from playing. After his range of activities has increased, he has strongly supported the midfielder, and he has to constantly run to the penalty area to grab points. He has multiple roles, even if he is very young. It is also a little difficult.
Such an overdraft is the price he sometimes has to pay as the number one striker, but unnecessary overdrafts are indeed unnecessary-this will affect his long-term performance.
So at this time, the forward who is at the top has to carry it up.
Du Yue's words were half true and half false. In fact, he wanted to motivate his old partner.
In fact, when he moved to Allais in the summer and left, there were many public opinions saying that Ji Ya should sell Vardy and keep Allais. A 25-year-old center is of course more useful than a 31-year-old center.
However, Ji Ya didn't do this, and Du Yue didn't think that Valdy was really useless.
Southampton attacked again.
Du Yue did not retreat to take the ball this time, but De Bruyne passed the ball continuously after taking the ball, and started to attack at the front of the penalty area. After attracting enough attention, De Bruyne raised his foot and took the ball The slash passed into the right side of the penalty area.
Cancelo, who went forward, took the ball. When he got the ball, Vardy started to go forward, as if he was going to outflank the back point. His running was quite exciting, and he directly attracted the attention of the Eindhoven defenders. All attracted to the past...
Just when they started to retreat to intercept Cancelo's cross pass, Cancelo sent a beautiful inverted triangle back pass!
Du Yue, who ran horizontally, threw off the opponent's defense, and shot directly near the penalty spot without stopping the ball!
The ball quickly flew into the far corner of the goal, and the opponent's goalkeeper couldn't make a save!
After seeing the ball fly into the gate, Ji Ya ran to Cancelo who assisted him, and then stretched out his hand to beckon Vardy to come too.
Although Vardy didn't touch the ball during the scoring process, he still played a huge role!
This is the experience of veterans. Even if they don't touch the ball, they can create gaps!
