After the game started, Bruce didn't notice anything wrong.

Southampton's offense is exactly as he imagined. Although the offense is constantly passing through, but facing the tightly defended Sunderland defense, there is no good way. Fine passing offense requires luck and mutual cooperation. , and the outstanding abilities of the players, Southampton seems to be a little worse in these aspects. It is not a good thing to want to break through their defense.

Although Ferdinand is not a top central defender, he has always been in the Premier League. With the assistance of an experienced Turner, there is no problem in frontal defense. In addition, there is a card king in the midfield. Like a mad dog, it is still very fierce.

As long as Southampton keeps attacking and has no chance, then Sunderland will have a chance.

Darren Bent's personal ability is very lethal in the Premier League. The reason why he never went to the top team is because his coordination ability is average, and his personal ability is not so strong that it is against the sky. That's why he went. Not a top team, but among the middle and lower teams, there is still a market.

His personal ability can often play a huge role.

This game is no exception.

When the game progressed to No.203 minutes, it was Darren Bent's attack full of personal ability that helped Sunderland take the lead in the away game!

Malblanc changed position to the middle to get the ball, and then passed it straight forward. After Bent retreated to get the ball, he still forcibly turned around under Liet's defense, accelerated the breakthrough and threw away the opponent. Lovren and Perry went one by one. Finally, he wanted to control the direction of his breakthrough, but Bent took a long shot from more than 20 meters away from the goal!

The shot was very sudden, Lovren's interception was a step slower, Perry also failed to block the ball with his body, but blocked Davis' sight, when Davis saw the ball in his vision It's too late to react...

The huge cheers of hundreds of Sunderland fans who came from afar sounded in the stands!

Ji Ya shook his head. There is nothing to say about such a conceded goal. Bent's personal ability has been fully demonstrated, and the Southampton players have tried their best.

"Don't worry, continue to play in the same way!" Ji Ya stood up and shouted to the field twice.

Bruce took a look in surprise, this young coach is still very calm, but so what if he is calm?We are ahead, so the defensive counterattack will be smoother...

Sunderland's tactics in the league this season are defensive counterattacks. After seven rounds of the league, they lost one game with three wins and three draws. The game they lost was against Chelsea. They also relied on counterattack goals and were passed by Chelsea. The strong attack scored three goals in a row, and other times the opponents had nothing to do with their defense.

Can Southampton's offense be stronger than Chelsea's with Drogba, Deco, Lampard and others?What a joke!

From a certain point of view, Bruce's idea is also correct.

Still, he overestimated his defensive capabilities.

Especially his players, at the beginning of the Premier League season, relying on their low stature and defensive spirit, they can indeed make the opponents in the Premier League have nothing to do with their defense, but that does not mean that Sunderland The defense is really strong.

What's more, can the mentality towards Southampton be the same as the mentality towards Chelsea?

In the rest of the first half, Southampton still seemed to have no way to attack. Although they also got some opportunities, they always missed the goal. Although Sunderland's counterattack did not have any good effect, Bruce was still confident.

If you keep fighting like this, you will win!

"Well, we did a good job in the first half... see, Sunderland scored us a goal just by luck, and we have a secret weapon that doesn't work."

In the locker room, Ji Ya mobilized the fighting spirit of all the players with one sentence. The match in the first half also made them feel that Sunderland was nothing special, and they were on the same level as them...

So what the boss said is correct, we are a team at the Premier League level, and it was just an accident to play in League One.

"Henrik, prepare to play in the second half...play the ball in the way you are used to, disrupt their defense with breakthroughs, and you know what to do next." Kiya said to Mkhitaryan.

Mkhitaryan nodded excitedly. He played very well in the last game, but he can feel that although League One is much stronger than the Armenian League in terms of defensive strength and running confrontation, the opponent's level is Compared with those opponents in the Armenian League, it seems to be similar.

And this game is against the Premier League team, it must be very different!

Didn't he come to Southampton to adapt to England's football style in advance, and then pave the way for himself?

Now the Premier League is not a symbol of the low level of the 90s, but the top league in Europe. If you can adapt to the Premier League, you can go anywhere.

This game is undoubtedly a suitable test.

To be able to meet the Premier League team in the cup, it is the right time to come to Southampton.

Although it is only the League One, there are better channels than in the Armenian League anyway!The strength of the Armenian League is limited. Although Yerevan Phoenix is ​​the perennial overlord, they can only start from the qualifying round of the Champions League, and with their strength, they have very little chance of reaching the final round of the qualifying round, let alone entering the main match. .

So although he has played in European competitions for several years, he has never encountered any decent teams.

And such an opportunity is still very easy to obtain in Southampton!

With high morale, Mkhitaryan replaced Walton after the break.

Seeing that Southampton changed to a new player, Bruce didn't think too much about it. After all, it is normal for the League One team to change players, and there are many young players in the League One team...

"He didn't respond? He didn't even watch our last game of League One, did he? How did this person arrange tactics..." Ji Ya was a little surprised thinking in his heart.

What Ji Ya overlooked is that, as a Premier League team, it is actually not very easy to get the match video of the League One team.

Although it is the information age, it is still difficult to get a certain match of a League One team, except for looking for it specifically. That's why Bruce just watched the match between Southampton and Birmingham. It seems normal.

"Since you are so careless...then let you have a taste of our power." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
