Chapter 422 Shooter Costa

In fact, Mourinho can almost guess Kiya's thoughts.

Because he is also a head coach who attaches great importance to his own fame and face.

To put it bluntly, there are only a few head coaches who are qualified to fight for face.

Just like in the Romance of the Gods, the greatest punishment for other people is death, and the greatest shame for the saints is to be "turned over". To put it bluntly, when others are still fighting for survival, the saints will not die Immortal, began to care only about face.

In the head coaching profession, only after getting enough honors, the coach is eligible to consider for the sake of face.

And what about the others?Most of the time, it is fighting for survival. As long as you can win the championship, who cares whether you look good or not.

Gou Lai's champion is also a champion!

That's why Mourinho can roughly understand what Ji Ya is thinking, so he also attaches great importance to the next game.

What's more, Chelsea is still at home in this game.

They can't suffer two heavy losses at home in a row.

For Chelsea, their elimination from the quarter-finals of the Champions League is a relatively big blow, but to put it bluntly, although these giants take the Champions Cup as their first goal, being eliminated in the knockout rounds is not a big blow. After all, participating in the Champions Cup The knockout rounds are all strong teams, and it's normal for anyone to win or lose.

It's like Southampton knocking out Juventus. It seems that it's easy to win [-]-[-] in two rounds. In fact, there is a certain luck factor in winning the away game. After being scored by the opponent at home, Southampton was once very dangerous. The two rounds of the Champions Cup have never been easy to win.

In the home game against Southampton, they had more fighting spirit.

The rise of Southampton was actually based on the rise of Manchester United. They prevented Sir Alex Ferguson from winning the championship in the last year, and in the next season, they suppressed Manchester City. In the past two years, Chelsea have also performed well. Not great, so not really a competitor.

And this season, it has begun to truly become a competitor.

The fans at Stamford Bridge used huge boos to make Southampton feel the pressure of the away game.

When players from both sides played, they encouraged their teams with the loudest voices and booed their opponents.

"The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is really good." When Ji Ya shook hands with Mourinho, he said something sincerely.

"Yes, very good." Mourinho nodded.

"Southampton's new stadium will be better." Kiya said with a smile.

Mourinho didn't take this trouble-he is not the boss of Chelsea.

"Players from both sides are on the field! Obviously, after a tough Champions League, both sides have also produced most of their main players! But it is normal, the Champions League quarter-finals will not start until April, Until then, Southampton can also focus on the league, this is their last chance to win the title!"

"Chelsea played a four-two-three-one formation... Courtois in goal, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta at the back, Cahill and John Terry at centre-back, Mason in midfield. Tuidi and Cesc Fabregas teamed up with double defensive midfielders, forward midfielder Oscar, two wings Willian and Hazard, Diego Costa came forward alone! Southampton sent their usual four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Gula Odd, with Cancelo and Alonso at the back, Fonte and Otamendi at the center, Casemiro and Coutinho in midfield, Matic, Schneiderlin and De Bruyne Made up the midfield, strikers Perisic, Suarez, Vardy!"

"Strictly speaking, Southampton's lineup is a four-three-three lineup. Perisic can also play in the midfield. On the left is his breakthrough and forward penetration, and on the right is De Bruyne's organization and passing. In this way, It can better play the characteristics of the two forwards, and Southampton seems to want to score more goals through offense."

"Chelsea's line of defense is very strong. They have conceded 28 goals in 23 league games so far, which is the least conceded goal in the Premier League. However, Southampton only conceded 26 goals, tied for second with Manchester United. A total of 78 goals! The number of goals is the highest, [-] more than Chelsea, which has the second most goals! From this point of view, it is a matter of course that these two teams rank in the top two. The highest level of competition in the Premier League this season!"

In the chanting of the commentator, there were not many pleasantries between the players on both sides-although there were two former Southampton players William and Matuidi in the Chelsea starting lineup, and Matic and De Blau in the Southampton starting lineup These two former Chelsea players, but emotionally, they can only be regarded as average...

William and Matuidi stayed in Southampton for a relatively long time, and De Bruyne and Matic can only be regarded as passers-by at Chelsea.

From the very beginning of the game, the two sides started a fierce fight and confrontation.

This is the characteristic of the Premier League.

If you don't hit a few times when you come up, it's not called kicking football.

Although Southampton is more technical, their frontcourt pressing is also very fierce.

Azpilicueta scored the first for Chelsea, receiving a pass from Eden Hazard on the left with a long-range shot that went over the bar.

Southampton immediately launched a counterattack. After receiving the ball from De Bruyne, Cancelo moved forward quickly, and then lobbed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Vardy and Suarez both missed the ball and plugged in from the back row. Perisic received the ball and shook his head directly to attack the goal. The ball flew diagonally towards the goal, and Courtois made a wonderful save.

The hundreds of Southampton fans who came from afar immediately cheered loudly. In their opinion, among the two attacks, Southampton's offense is obviously more threatening!

However, after only seven or eight minutes, Chelsea's attack turned the entire Stamford Bridge into a sea of ​​joy!

After Ivanovic received the ball from William, he forcibly created a cross from the bottom line. The ball flew into the penalty area with a curve. With Tamendi's attention, Costa, who moved quickly to the back point, took off in time and shook his head to attack the goal without anyone guarding him!

The ball flew into the goal quickly, and Gulac just turned around when the ball flew into the goal!

In just [-] minutes of the opening, Costa scored the first goal!

"Beautiful goal! Really exciting, this is Costa's No. 18 league goals this season! Although he missed many games due to injury, his scoring rate is still super high! What a great shooter! "

Suarez and Vardy exchanged glances as Costa began to celebrate.

Obviously, these two shooters are quite unconvinced.
