Chapter 815 Liverpool's Flaws

Before the game was over, Ji Ya started thinking about other things, not because he disrespected his opponent, but because the game has reached this point, it is really impossible to lose again.

Although Manchester United has a classic shot of reversing Bayern in the last 3 minutes, the reason why the classic is a classic and the reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is extremely rare. If it can always appear, it will not be a classic or a miracle.

There is no classic this time, even if there is, it is also a classic of Du Yue's hat-trick in the FA Cup final. This time there is no miracle, at least no miracle belonging to Manchester United.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. [-]-[-], Southampton defeated Manchester United and won the second official championship of the season!

When the Southampton fans cheered loudly, everyone knew that Southampton was far from creating unprecedented brilliance, and only the last game was left.

Five consecutive Champions League titles, plus two Triple Crowns.

No team has ever won so many honors. Even when Real Madrid won five consecutive championships, they did not win the Triple Crown, and even lost three league titles-in their five seasons, only Won the league title in two seasons.

Of course, this is something that needs to be counted after they can win the Champions League for five consecutive championships.

17-18 season Champions League final, Southampton vs Liverpool.

Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine.

This will be the last major game before the start of the World Cup.

It is also the game that will even steal the limelight from the World Cup to a large extent.

Naturally, many people look forward to such a match.

After a night of celebration at Southampton, they took a day off to regroup on 22 May before flying to Kiev together.

Then they will live in Kiev for four days, while adapting to the venue and conducting preparation training, preparing for the next final.

Liverpool's preparations are similar to theirs, because there is no FA Cup final, they even invited Brighton to play a warm-up match with them to keep the players in the game.

They did not invite Everton from the same city—after all, they were still worried that Everton would intentionally injure a few of their main players. This season, Everton finally ranked ninth. They are really upset that they have only achieved such a result when the investment in the season is close to 5000 million pounds. Seeing that their rivals in the same city are so good, it will be bad if they get too hot-headed.

After arriving in Kiev, Southampton booked a certain floor of a local five-star hotel. This is to allow the players to rest better. Although it is expensive, before such a game, spend some money on hotel accommodation What's the problem.

All kinds of media gathered in Kiev. Anyway, these football media will basically go to cover the World Cup in Russia. It is good to come to Kiev first to get used to the weather.

And it will be relatively close from Kiev to Russia at that time, and you can save travel expenses.

However, both Southampton and Liverpool have declared media silence. Except for the pre-match press conference stipulated by UEFA, at other times, neither the coach nor the players will contact the media.

Many media are complaining about this-what's the point of being silent, we can recite your starting lineup, can you have any tricks?

It's just that they also know that even if there are no tricks and the silence of the media can interfere with the opponent's preparations-even if it can't be interfered with, you still have to do it.

Therefore, it has almost become a practice for the media to be silent before important games.

"Liverpool's overall lineup is now very complete, including the forwards and midfielders, and the defense is the same, but their goalkeepers are a little bit worse. Neither Mignolet nor Karius are particularly good goalkeepers, and they have experience. They are not rich, we can take more shots and see if we can catch them making a few mistakes." Ji Ya said to the players on the training ground.

Liverpool's defense is really not very good this season, and the goalkeeper's position has also fluctuated. This season's main goalkeeper was Mignolet at the beginning, but his performance was not very good, it could only be regarded as mediocre, and then Karius slowly Become the main force, but in the eyes of many people, these two goalkeepers can only be regarded as ordinary goalkeepers, playing in the Premier League is not a big problem, but in a game like winning the Champions League, goalkeepers of this level are already weak .

It's just that Klopp has no other choice. They spent a lot of money this summer, and there is no extra money to buy a good goalkeeper. Besides, the price of a good goalkeeper will be very high these days.

"We are different. Peter is in good form recently, and even Edward is an excellent goalkeeper. He performed very well in the cup this season." Benelli said to Ji Ya with a smile.

Ji Ya nodded, he agreed with this point, Mendy's talent itself is very good, although he is not too young, but he will have the opportunity to attack the main goalkeeper next, and his outstanding performance as a substitute goalkeeper also stimulates Gulacci's recent performance is outstanding-if the substitute goalkeeper is not threatening, the main goalkeeper has no sense of crisis and is often easy to slack off.

Of course, if the competition is too great, it is normal for the goalkeeper to make mistakes due to nervousness...

Now the competition for Southampton's goalkeeper is still in a relatively virtuous circle.

It's just that the main goalkeeper is 28 years old and the substitute goalkeeper is 26 years old. If we don't solve this problem properly, there will definitely be conflicts.

Of course, there is no need to think about this aspect now. There are no clubs that can get rid of players once and for all.

For the tactics of the final, Southampton is ready. While adapting to the opponent's fast pace, they will continue to maintain their own midfield advantage and drag the game into the opponent's unadapted rhythm.

Of course, Southampton's victory will be easier if you play against each other with a single eye.

Liverpool's defense is now very strong. The two young full-backs Arnold and Robertson surprised everyone, and the central defender combination Lovren and Van Dijk transplanted from Southampton are also quite strong. The striker partners of Rah, Mane and Firmino are not inferior to any striker.

Relatively speaking, their midfield is very ordinary.

Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Emre Can, these cannot be said to be excellent players, but they are not particularly top players. In other words, they are all role players. Such players Can't be missing in the midfield, but it can't be all.

It's as if Southampton doesn't want De Bruyne and uses other people to form the midfield. Although it doesn't look much different, it is actually far from the same thing.

The midfield is Liverpool's biggest flaw and Southampton's strength.
