Chapter 206 Active Young People

No one expected that only about two-thirds of the time had passed, and Southampton had a [-]-[-] lead - even the most optimistic Southampton fans did not expect that the game would go so smoothly .

Ji Ya was also a little surprised, Chelsea was still very sluggish in the second half, so he changed two more players, Drinkwater replaced Mkhitaryan, Austin replaced Benteke, strengthened the running and defense.

And Di Matteo did not continue to make substitutions.

His approach was criticized a lot after the game. Everyone felt that at this point in the game, even if you were desperate, you had to pile up offensive players to launch the attack. As a result, Di Matteo did not make any changes.

The next game seemed a bit lackluster, the two sides kept entangled in the midfield, Southampton did not participate much in the offense, Chelsea wanted to attack, but it was difficult to create opportunities.

It was not until the No.80 minute of the game that Chelsea relied on a corner kick to recover a point. Cahill scored with a header. After that, Di Matteo woke up like a dream. He first replaced Sturridge They got off Mata and then replaced Ashley Cole with Marin in an attempt to strengthen their offense. However, Southampton never gave Chelsea any more chances. They managed to keep the score to the end!

Even in stoppage time, Nolito broke through from the side and passed into the penalty area. Luiz rushed to the ground in front of Austin and made a tackle, but the ball hit the post and almost scored an own goal...

The final score was four to one. Southampton almost swept Chelsea and defended the UEFA Super Cup!

Compared with last season's surprising defeat of Barcelona, ​​which was at its peak, Southampton's victory this season is much more reasonable, but no matter how reasonable it can only prove one thing, that is Chelsea's performance, Not really.

"It's a surprise to be able to win such a big score. Chelsea are very good, but they encountered some problems in this game... This kind of problem can happen to anyone, so we don't need to be too hard on them. I believe Chelsea will adjust it immediately. In his own state." Kiya said with a smile at the press conference.

After winning the game, he always said whatever he wanted.

Di Matteo admitted that he had some shortcomings in the preparation of the game, but "Chelsea is now in a state of change, and we need to look forward better."

For this, Chelsea fans are not too satisfied, but considering that Di Matteo did a good job fighting the fire last season, so for the time being, his position is still stable.

Kiya's attention has already begun to shift to the next league - this season's schedule is really difficult for Southampton, next is a FIFA matchday, and then they will play at home against Aston Villa, then went away to participate in the first game of the Champions League group stage - away to Real Madrid.

After challenging Real Madrid, returning to the league is an away game against Arsenal.

Then it was away to Everton.

These three opponents are not easy to deal with, or they are very difficult to deal with. After three consecutive away games, even the strongest team, after such a process, I am afraid that they will lose a layer of skin.

However, for this result, Ji Ya is already mentally prepared. Southampton will always have to fight some tough battles-in fact, Southampton did not encounter any particularly exaggerated two-line battles last season, because the Europa League group stage The opponents are weaker, and they have not had much impact on them, so Southampton can concentrate on playing in the league. This season, it will be different.

When the international players went to the national team, Ji Ya was training other young players, especially Chambers, Luke Shaw, Prouse, Schneiderlin, Drinkwater...

They are both Southampton's reserves.

When the team started to concentrate again, Ji Ya sent a relatively young substitute lineup in the next round of the league.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas, right back Klein, left back Luke Shaw, center backs are partnered by Chambers and Wundt, midfielders Matuidi and Vidal have rotated, Schneiderlin and Drinker Walt served as a double defensive midfielder, Mkhitaryan rushed forward, and the striker was a combination of Nolito, William and Austin.

Strictly speaking, this lineup with only five main players can only be regarded as a mixed lineup.

However, when facing the mid-range team of Aston Villa, Southampton's young players showed an extremely good state.

In the first half, due to changing too many main players, Southampton's offense was not very smooth. On the contrary, Aston Villa relied on a counterattack to score the first goal at No. 306 minutes - Darren Bent in A supplementary shot in the penalty area opened the scoring for Aston Villa.

However, after the second half, Southampton, whose offense became smoother, began to suppress Aston Villa.

In the No.13 minute of the second half, Mkhitaryan sent a sharp direct pass. After receiving the ball, Austin shot directly without stopping the ball. This shot in the penalty area accurately flew into the lower right corner of the goal!

After scoring the goal, Austin ran around the field with his arms open. In the past three seasons in Southampton, his chances were not many, especially in the Premier League last season. Ten times, his ranking is behind Giroud and Klose, and this season, Benteke came again...

It is also an encouragement for him to have such a goal.

Just 5 minutes later, Austin retreated to catch the ball, and then passed the ball to Mkhitaryan. Mkhitaryan made a direct pass again. William's running involved the attention of others, and Klein, who boldly advanced, was in the penalty area. Nei received a direct pass from Mkhitaryan, then took a shot ten meters away from the goal, and scored the ball into the near corner of the goal!

This is his second goal in the Premier League - he had a Premier League goal last season, and his performance has obviously become better this season.

After the reversal, Southampton's offense began to play more smoothly. After 10 minutes, Nolito passed the ball from the side to the front of the penalty area.

This is Mkhitaryan's second goal this season. Ji Ya asked him to take on more of the burden of scoring. Now it seems that Mkhitaryan has done a good job.

After a three-to-one lead, Southampton had a complete upper hand in the following time. Aston Villa wanted to counterattack, but Southampton's two fast young players in the back line, Luke Shaw and Chamber Si's performance is very good, constantly destroying their offense.

Nolito created a penalty before the whistle, Willian made the penalty, four to one, Southampton played the same score for two consecutive games...
