I brush achievements in football

Chapter 235

"Did you give the boss a gift?" Francis asked Du Yue incredulously.

Du Yue, who was having fun while holding the recruitment letter, immediately rolled his eyes. Although he respected Francis as the first coach, he still felt that this question was a bit silly: "How can I have money to give gifts to the boss? I paid the living expenses yesterday. After the money is over, let’s find a coach for you to spend money on.”

"That's true, but why did the boss fall in love with you?" Francis sighed.

"It's not because of my amazing talent that I was spotted by the boss. Wait, a few years later, when I become a blockbuster in European football, everyone will sigh, why is Francis such an unknown young man? How can he train a great player like Jeppler Du? How lucky is he..."

Seeing that Francis had raised a lever for training, Du Yue exclaimed, and immediately ran away with his head in his arms.

"Boy, you will always return to my subordinates!" Francis yelled at Du Yue's back.

"Let's talk when we come back."

Du Yue murmured in his heart that he had already started to make his mark in Southampton's first team, and was offered by Ji Ya as a treasure, and then became Southampton's absolute main force, a legendary star...

After all, in his opinion, the current two central defenders Otamendi and Chambers are similar to his type, nothing more than they are a little taller, but he still has an advantage in judgment and foot movement!

Although Otamendi seems to have resumed training, and Chambers has performed very well in the past half of the season, so that a veteran like Kovac can only get a chance to play in the cup, but young people, always I will be more confident in myself.

"Very good, then you train with the team first, and I will give you a chance to play in the next League Cup match." Ji Ya said to Du Yue who came to report.

Du Yue was tongue-tied.

Although YY passed, Du Yue was surprised that there would be games as soon as he arrived at the first team.

What he doesn't know is that this is just because Southampton is short of central defenders, and Chambers has indeed played too much in the game recently, so Ji Ya wants to let him rest. No matter how good Du Yue is, it is impossible for him to play At this age, he has gained a firm foothold in the first team, and Otamendi will return soon. Ji Ya just wants to see if this Chinese player with special characteristics has any real advantages.

If he can train it well, Ji Ya is also very happy to train a Chinese.

Although the semi-finals of the League Cup will follow, after all, the opponent is only Swansea, and the strength of this team is not very strong, so it is enough to test it.

Ever since, Du Yue, who drove the ducks up and down, quickly saw the cruelty of the adult world.

Goalkeeper Navas, defenders Jenkinson, Du Yue, Kovac, Luke Shaw, midfielders Casemiro, Schneiderlin, Drinkwater, forwards Nolito, Austin, Klose.

This is a pure substitute lineup, but overall it is still very good. Although Austin is a substitute, he can always score goals. Klose is slowly recovering now. It is still very good for a veteran like him to control his own state. Strong, with two and a half main players in the midfield and a talented Casemiro, Luke Shaw's ability in the defense is also quite good. Such a combination is difficult for Swansea, who is ranked mid-range. It's really not that high.

Swansea have performed well in the league this season, ranking tenth, which is already very good for a newly promoted team. They also performed very well in the League Cup. They eliminated Liverpool in the fourth round, and eliminated Middles in the last round. Fort, it can be regarded as strength and luck, and it has come to where it is today.

So their strength is still good, especially the Dutch midfielder De Guzman who joined from Villarreal this summer and the Spanish midfielder Hernandez who joined from Valencia can be regarded as technically helping the poor. Their midfield has injected decent technical elements.

However, Southampton's midfielder is not afraid of this.

Schneiderlin and Drinkwater's foot skills are actually good, as is Casemiro, and his running is also good. Under their pressing and confrontation, Swansea's offense was affected. big impact.

And Nolito's breakthrough on the wing made Swansea's defense very uncomfortable, plus two centers who are good at capturing opportunities...

Klose and Austin quickly scored a goal each in the first half, with Southampton leading by two at home.

However, Swansea's offense was not able to perform at a good level when the midfield was suppressed, and they could only rely on direct passes to launch the offense. Their center Luke? Moore's speed and personal ability are still Not bad, such an attack should also have a good effect.

However, facing this kind of rapid ground attack, Du Yue showed an extremely good state.

His judgment is accurate, his feet move fast, and his kicks are fast, ruthless and accurate. Luke Moore is also a veteran player in England. If it is intercepted, it will be eaten to death.

At the end of the first half, Southampton took a two-goal lead. Du Yue was praised by his seniors in the locker room. He was also very happy. He felt that the opponents at the Premier League level were nothing more than that!

However, in the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

Swansea's head coach, the former Danish national team superstar Michel Laudrup, also known as the big Laudrup, has changed a person. The powerful center Danny Gray, who has rarely played this season, came on and replaced him. Luke Moore.

Danny Gray was an important player for Swansea's promotion last season. This strong center forward is very useful in the English Championship. However, in the Premier League, strikers like him have become less and less popular, so he has also been reduced to a substitute. .

However, after he played in this game, Du Yue began to suffer.

For no other reason than because Danny Gray is a giant who is 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than [-] kilograms.

Du Yue's proud foot movement and early steals are useless at such height suppression.

Even if he seizes a favorable position first, he will be easily squeezed away by the opponent with his body. He wants to step out, and the opponent shakes his body a little, so that he can't touch the ball. Even in terms of stealing the ball early, he It is also difficult to do. When the moving distance is not very long, sometimes the opponent's step is enough to control the ball.

So Du Yue began to suffer again and again, and Swansea also seized this opportunity to regain a point.

Ji Ya shook his head, and then began to direct Kovac to mark the opponent. Kovac is also a tall central defender, and he does not suffer at all in this regard.

"It seems that his body is still too disadvantaged." Benelli sighed.

Ji Ya nodded, but didn't say anything more.
