Chapter 836 Young players' fighting spirit

Indeed a great record, Abidjan Mimosa's unbeaten record of [-] games was once considered impossible for any team to come close to the record, even in the minor leagues.

As a Premier League team, Southampton has tied such a record, which is brilliant enough in itself.

And now, they have to set a new record!

Still, the old players may be able to treat such a record with a normal mentality. After all, they have experienced five consecutive Champions League titles, but it is impossible for the newly joined Rodri and McAllister not to do so. And feel excited and trembling.

So at this time, their attitude is - even if they are desperate on the field, they must win this game!

Yes, not only to remain undefeated, but also to win this game - a record-setting game, it can't be a draw, right?It doesn't sound good to say it.

So with such fighting spirit, they entered the field.

Burnley doesn't have much ambition. Of course they want to win against Southampton, but even if Southampton loses a few main players, it is not something they can fight against, so they wisely adopted the four-five-one strategy. Formation, ready to use defensive counterattacks against Southampton.

After all, Joe Hart is also an excellent goalkeeper. Although his progress in the late stage of Manchester City is average, his own strength is not bad. He serves as the main goalkeeper of a mid-range team. Under the protection of his teammates, he is still a steady and reliable goalkeeper. .

From the very beginning of the game, Southampton continued to create opportunities.

Rodri organizes from the back, McAllister is better at playing the ball with one kick, and B Fei is an offensive midfielder. He can send the last pass, and he can also score the goal, but he dribbles the ball to create opportunities. Not what he is good at.

So Southampton's main attacker became Valverde.

He is a very comprehensive player in himself. In addition to being able to run, he also has a good ability to dribble and break through. Coupled with Cancelo who is constantly advancing on this side, Southampton's offense on this side has posed a considerable threat.

Naturally, the opponent also began to concentrate on defending this side.

Valverde's breakthrough and long-range shots are very threatening, while Cancelo can pass from a 45-degree angle to create opportunities. If you want to defend such an attack, you must expand your defensive range.

In this way, the defense in other positions is naturally weakened a lot.

After Valverde took the ball from the right again, he saw that the other side of Burnley's midfield was relatively empty, so he immediately moved his foot!

The ball flew to the left and Burnley's defense started to move to the left.

However, McAllister did not control the ball, but volleyed the ball back to the middle...

The follow-up B Fei received the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then faced the falling ball, he suddenly took a long shot!

When he shot, Vardy started to move towards the goal, which is the smell of an old striker.

So when B Fei's shot hit the goal post hard and then bounced back, Vardy who went forward happened to meet him.

He headed the ball almost instinctively, and headed the flying ball back to the goal!

The ball flew into the goal quickly, and there was a huge cheer from the Southampton fans in the stands.

After the opening, Southampton continued to attack, surrounded the opponent for more than ten minutes, and then successfully took the lead. This rhythm is exactly what Southampton fans want to see!

Vardy ran on the field with his arms open. Last season, his performance was a bit up and down, so that he was often replaced by Alvarez in the later stage. Therefore, he also lost the chance to participate in the World Cup. He trained very hard this summer. Just to perform better on the court.

As a center who will soon be 32 years old, he certainly knows that he cannot compete with young people in physical fitness and confrontation. He can only use more arduous training in the summer to keep his body from losing ground against young people during the season, and then rely on himself Rich experience and a good attitude to win.

This is a truth that all football evergreens know.

If Xia Tian does not work hard to maintain a good physical condition, no matter how good your skills are, you will not be able to perform well.

"That's why I said, no matter how young you are, such a veteran needs to be retained." Ji Ya said to Benelli with a sigh.

"Yes, their professionalism and dedication can bring a lot of help to young people." Benelli nodded in agreement.

After the game restarts, Burnley intends to attack. It is not difficult to do this. Southampton's game is said to be four four two, and the position of B fee is very high, so it is still four three three, midfielder In terms of interception and confrontation, it is still slightly worse.

However, they are mainly lacking in coordination—rather than personal ability. The defense depends on running around alone, and it is impossible to block the opponent's attack if you are exhausted. It can make teammates respond better.

What Southampton lacks now is actually this.

This allowed Burnley to find a good opportunity after a period of onslaught. Lennon forced his speed past Peters from the wing, then cut into the penalty area, and then passed the ball into the penalty area when De Ligt covered. , the follow-up forward was about to shoot, but Araujo completed a rather ferocious defense. He stuck to the opponent's forward tightly, then stretched out his foot first to break the ball, and then passed the ball calmly Cancelo on the wing!

Not only was it a clean defense, but it also allowed Southampton to launch a counterattack!

This counterattack was initiated by Cancelo. After sending it to the frontcourt, Vardy returned to do it. B Fei followed up and shot with one foot on the ground, but the opponent's goalkeeper struggled to save the bottom line.

"Nice job." Ji Ya slapped the field. Among the two young central defenders who joined last season, De Ligt quickly got a lot of love. Although he didn't play a lot of time, he was already regarded as Southampton. He is now the main central defender, sharing the opportunity to play with Rudiger, while Araujo played a lot less relatively speaking.

This is not because Ji Ya underestimated him, but because Araujo played in Uruguay before, and he hadn't even played in Uruguay, while De Ligt played in the Eredivisie and the Champions League Europa League. Yes, even played in the final of the Europa League. Under such circumstances, Dericht's adaptability and performance are naturally much better, while Araujo still needs to grow and adapt.

However, this does not mean that Ji Ya is not optimistic about him. Araujo's quality is quite good, he is tall, not slow to respond, has enough flexibility, and at the same time has a firm and tenacious personality, and is good at stalking. A must for an excellent central defender.

It's just that Dericht has the potential to become the core of the defense, and Ji Ya looks at him invisibly.

And now, Araujo has also begun to show his potential, and the Southampton central defender will not worry about having no successors.
