In terms of wing defense, Southampton is indeed average.

In fact, the offense is also average.

Whether it is Otsmobo or Mills, they are ordinary players, the result of Southampton's youth training, not particularly outstanding players. To put it bluntly, they will stay in Southampton because they have nowhere to go. Southampton will use them also because apart from them, there are no stronger players to use.

After all, full-backs are really hard to buy.

So on the two wings, they can also defend as much as possible, otherwise the opponent will cut inside the penalty area.

In the middle of the penalty area, Lovren stared at Carew, and Perry continued to fill in. Walton retreated to the penalty area to mark Abanglahor. After all, if Perry wanted to mark Abanglahor, the opponent would After running back and forth a few times, he would be exhausted...

So now Southampton's formation has actually become five three two, five full-time defensive players, and the remaining five assist defense while preparing to attack.

This is actually a very unprofessional approach, but under the current situation on the court, it has achieved both offensive and defensive ends.

Davies was brilliant as he saved Young's shot from the corner of the box and then blocked a poke shot from Abbonlaho with his foot.

Milner had a long shot that was very threatening, but was blocked by Lovren with his body.

Seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, Villa's offense began to become more fierce, which also gave Southampton a chance to counterattack!

It's not that Villa doesn't know this truth, but at this time, they can only attack continuously, otherwise they really have no chance.

This is also a gamble.

Yet their gamble failed.

In the No.70 second minute of the game, Perry destroyed the ball in the penalty area. Schneiderlin received the ball and made a long pass to the frontcourt. Giroud controlled the ball and then dribbled forward. Putting in, Giroud delivered the ball to his feet accurately, Lallana took advantage of the situation and forced his way into the penalty area, and then picked the ball to the middle, and Lambert followed up with a volley without stopping the ball!

The ball roared into the top corner of the goal, and the Villa goalkeeper couldn't help it!

"Okay, this game is won!"

Ji Ya swung his fist vigorously, Vera's attack ability was average, but now it's even more average...

Ji Ya quickly replaced Mkhitaryan with Liete to strengthen the defense of the midfield. After a while, he replaced Lambert with James and continued to strengthen the defense of the midfield.

After the midfield protection was thick enough, Southampton's defense began to become stronger.

Aston Villa exhausted all methods up and down, but failed to score a goal. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Ji Ya began to hug the assistant coaches around him constantly.

"We have entered the quarter-finals of the League Cup!" Le Tissier seemed to have regained the enthusiasm he had when he was a player, raising his hands and cheering.

"Hahaha, Matthew, don't worry, this is just the beginning!" Ji Ya laughed.

He understands Le Tisser's feelings. Although Le Tissell has given everything for Southampton, he has not been able to get any honors. For more than ten years in the league, the highest ranking is only seventh, even the European Union. I haven't played any games, and I haven't even entered the FA Cup and League Cup finals...

This is Le Tissier's biggest regret.

Now if he can get some decent honors in Southampton as an assistant coach, it can also fill Le Tissier's biggest regret!

Le Tissier calmed down quickly, and he was always a calm man.

Embarrassedly smiled at Ji Ya, he agreed with Ji Ya's words, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go to get the honor.

As long as you see hope, that's enough!

Now that Southampton has seen hope up and down, isn't that enough?

"Southampton reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup! If you put it in the past few years, this is nothing. After all, as a Premier League team, it is not uncommon for Southampton to reach the quarter-finals of the League Cup, but Southampton is now a League One team! They have defeated three Premier League teams in a row and reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup! This performance is enough to make many Premier League teams feel ashamed..."

"Except for Southampton, the remaining seven teams in the League Cup this season are all Premier League teams! Except for Liverpool, which was killed by Arsenal in the last round, the other strong teams have reached the quarterfinals. Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham...the remaining two teams are Portsmouth and Blackburn! Will Southampton meet Portsmouth in the League Cup? Although these two teams are absolute rivals, But the number of fights is really not too many..."

After seeing the list of all the quarterfinals, almost all reporters began to look forward to a certain moment.

Obviously, the English professional league is also very good.

In the draw for the quarter-finals, Southampton drew Portsmouth at once!

"It's a good thing that our League One can be home all the way. I think the 22 Southampton people have been looking forward to this game for a long time."

After knowing the result of the lottery, Ji Ya immediately accepted the exclusive interview with the Southampton Evening Post Sports Edition, and said that this paragraph is not nutritious, but it is enough to make Southampton people excited!

This new boss is also very good at it!

Southamptonians think so.

But thinking about the previous Southampton executives who came out to prove that Ji Ya is a loyal Southampton fan, this seems to be nothing!

You must know those people who testified at that time, former chairman Lu Wei, former executive Wilde, former youth training director Walter... They have all left the club, but they still speak like this for Ji Ya, obviously not out of interests that's it!

Just because of this interview, Southampton fans' affection for Ji Ya will increase a lot.

However, Ji Ya is clear that this kind of favorability is obviously unstable. Only by getting real good results can the fans' favor towards him really increase.

What is a good grade?In this season, the most urgent good result is to return to the British Championship!

However, the quarter-finals of the League Cup will have to wait until early December, and Southampton's focus will still be on the league, as well as the FA Cup and England Championships that will start soon.

Although they are a League One team, they still have a lot of games to play.

However, perhaps the winning streak in the Champions League and the league made their state worse. In the next round of the league, Southampton did not extend their winning streak to eight games. They went to London to challenge Le Dayton Dongfang, the result was a [-]-[-] draw with the opponent in the away game, and the winning streak ended.
