I brush achievements in football

As a veteran mid-range team, Aston Villa's performance this season is indeed very surprising, especially in the case of two consecutive losses at the beginning, they have won four consecutive victories, and they have defeated Liverpool and Chelsea successively. A strong team, which makes people have to look forward to, will they get off to a great start like they did in the 98-99 season?

You must know that Aston Villa in that season, although they only ranked sixth in the end, they had great results in the first half of the season-in the case of using all local players as the main lineup, they ranked first. The position lasted more than ten rounds, which really surprised everyone!

Although ten years have passed, Aston Villa has long since changed from a strong team that once won the Champions League to a mid-lower team, but this does not prevent their fans from thinking more a little.

Teams with rich ancestors often have such a temperament.

Although they encountered a League One team in the fourth round of the League Cup this time, Southampton can be regarded as an old opponent, so their head coach McLeish did not underestimate their opponents.

As a newly emerging head coach, McLeish will not let go of too many details.

He observed Southampton's recent victories, and was surprised to find that this team really has several outstanding players, especially on the offensive line. Giroud's center forward skills, Lambert's scoring ability and foot skills , Lallana's organization and long-range shots, and Mkhitaryan's powerful breakthrough ability all left a deep impression on him.

To deal with such a team, it may not be appropriate to use defensive counterattacks, but after careful consideration, McLeish decided to use defensive counterattacks.

Quite simply, Southampton's defense isn't very fast.

Whether it is a full-back or a central back, they are not fast, but the fastest is the tall Lovren. Needless to say, Perry, who has old arms and legs, will kill him when he rushes, and the speed of the full-backs is average. .

And Aston Villa can be said to have the fastest counterattack speed this season!

"Aston Villa have a very fast front. Abanglaho is a fast striker, Ashley Young and Petrov are also fast on the wings, plus their running and support in midfield. , Milner, Sidwell, Cork, these are all players with good running ability and passing ability, so they are quite sharp in counterattack, which is also the key to their ability to beat teams like Chelsea and Liverpool. On the contrary Their performance against weak teams is because they lack the ability to attack, although they have centers like Heskey and Carew on the bench, they are always short of something."

"It's no wonder that their winning percentage against weaker teams is much lower. If they don't press out to play, it will be difficult for them to score goals because they lack the ability to attack." Benelli slapped his thigh.

Then he asked Kiya: "So we're going to fight back?"

"No, we still have to play offensively." Ji Ya replied with a smile, "First of all, it is unlikely that McLeish will not pay attention to our recent good results, so he will know that our offensive ability is good, and their defense Ability but more confidence because their defense can't even handle Liverpool and Chelsea. So he also counter-attacks against us because our defense is slow."

"Isn't that what they are best at?" Benelli was a little confused.

"Yes, but have you considered the mentality of the Villa players?" Ji Ya asked with a smile.

Benelli was taken aback.

"They are a Premier League team, and they have just defeated Chelsea. It is the time when their mentality is exploding. Facing our League One team, they have to put down their bodies and play defensive counterattacks...Think about it, if it were you, would you I'll be happy." Ji Ya said.

"That……"

"McLeish is also newly appointed, and his authority has not been particularly well consolidated. We press them to attack and stir up their anger on the field, so they will not concentrate on defensive counterattack. A wave of opening Onslaught, it’s best to score a goal, if you can’t score a goal, retreat a bit, release their offensive, and then shrink layer by layer, we will counterattack them in turn!” Ji Ya finally said.

After deciding on the tactics, it depends on the execution of the players - Ji Ya has not worried about this point, after all, the Southampton players are still very good in this aspect, and they can execute the tactics arranged by Ji Ya meticulously go down.

In fact, this is also a very big advantage, but Ji Ya has not realized how big such an advantage is.

Southampton fans are once again filling St Mary's Stadium - their latest winning streak has already ignited their enthusiasm - in this way, Southampton fans are very satisfied, but they are also demanding !

Only when they continuously defeat strong enemies can they come to the stadium to watch the game happily!

Of course, this is also normal. After all, there are always a small number of fans who will never leave even if the team is relegated to the regional league.

Such fans are the core and backbone of the club, and they are worthy of attention at any time.

But more fans who watch the football with good grades can bring better motivation and more wealth to the club.

When Ji Ya came out from the player tunnel, there was a warm cheer from the stands.

the Rainbow comes after the storm.

If Ji Ya led the team to consecutive victories as soon as he came up, maybe the Southampton fans didn't feel too much, but the previous two consecutive losses and four consecutive draws, such a miserable result, combined with the current seven consecutive victories, That is really from the trough to the peak, which brings double pleasure!

Under such stimulation, the favor towards Ji Ya quickly swelled up, which seemed normal.

At least Southampton fans began to feel that there was no coach like Ji Ya before.

In fact, the seven-game winning streak is considered a record in the history of the Southampton club.

Even a seven-game winning streak in League One is a very precious thing.

After greeting the fans, Kiya went to the visiting team's bench and shook hands with McLeish.

He didn't have this concept at all before, so he didn't shake hands with his opponents, but the rest of the club are not fools, and soon someone reminded him, and Ji Ya can be regarded as good-natured.

"Mr. Ji is young, he is really young and promising." MacLeish complimented in a very formulaic way.

"It's easy to say, I hope everyone will contribute their own level in this game and dedicate a wonderful game to the audience."

Ji Ya is not afraid of this, since he was educated since he was a child, this set of words comes out as soon as he opens his mouth!

However, when the other party called him "Mr. Ji", Ji Ya was not used to it, and always felt that he had to have a big cigarette bag to be worthy of such a title...
