I brush achievements in football

Southampton's recent state and strength are indeed quite good.

After beating Sevilla, they beat Ipswich Town away in the league. Queens Park Rangers continued to suffer a draw, and Southampton extended their lead to seven points.

However, in the following week, Southampton, who went to an away game against Sevilla, suffered their first defeat in the European war this season. Although they still played without any problems, Giroud scored a goal in the game, but Sevilla relied on two opportunities created from the left, scored two goals, and finally beat Southampton [-]-[-] at home.

But this defeat... didn't have a big impact on Southampton.

Although the points are the same, Southampton still ranks first because they won one more goal at home, and Juventus is funny and tied again. They played [-]-[-] with Salzburg at home, ranking the group with four points third……

In the next round, Sevilla will fight against Juventus. As long as Southampton beats Salzburg at home, no matter what the other game is, they will be able to advance to the group stage one round ahead of schedule!

"Right now we're really in a good position, but only if we beat Salzburg. I think they've shown their quality with their tenacious performance against Juventus in the two games. European games are always difficult. , we need to remain in awe under any circumstances."

No matter how humble Ji Ya is, it is true that Southampton's current situation is really good. After losing the game, they can still have such a good situation. Southampton's luck is also good. In such a death group, Winning a big game is sometimes enough to set up a lot of things.

The next round of matches will not start until the beginning of December, and the next matches will all be matches in the British Championship, five consecutive matches.

After consecutive campaigns, Southampton was rather tired. They lost to Doncaster, which was ranked low, in the next round of the league. However, in the next four rounds of the league, they defeated Norwich, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Preston, increased their points to 49 points, once again expanded their two-point lead, and now lead Queens Park Rangers by as much as nine points!

After nineteen rounds of the league, they have scored 49 points—sixteen wins, one draw and two losses, extremely brilliant!

"Based on this calculation, as long as they maintain this rhythm in the next game and exceed the record of 106 points, there is no problem."

Many media have begun to analyze Southampton's performance, but Southampton's performance so far is indeed very exciting. Their overall performance and individual performance are quite good. Lambert scored in the [-]th round of the league. Sixteen goals, Giroud also scored ten, plus Chamberlain, Mkhitaryan, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Drinkwater and two central defenders all scored goals. Dianhua's offensive ability is fully demonstrated.

But during this winning streak, one thing has been overlooked.

That is, Jenkinson started to play more games, but his position was not right back, nor center back, but left back...

"As a young player, you have to adapt to your position more and play more in various positions, which is good for you...and it is relatively easy to be a left back who does not assist." Ji Ya said to Jenkinson in this way.

Jenkinson nodded obediently. A young player like him is still very obedient, and he can do whatever Ji Ya asks him to do.

In the position of left back, he is a little uncomfortable playing, but his own defensive ability is good, and his height of 1.8 meters [-] is not very high. Under such circumstances, he plays a pure defensive full back, but it is considered qualified.

At least not like Dixon, once facing a strong team, the left side he guards is simply a highway, which makes people rush back and forth.

Such a change allowed Southampton to avoid conceding a goal in the fifth round of the Europa League group stage.

Salzburg also intends to perform better in this game, so they continue to attack Southampton's left, hoping to create more opportunities.

However, in this position, Jenkinson's defense is very solid. He has excellent physical fitness, he is not slow to turn, and his feet are accurate. He has almost no offensive ability, but his defensive ability is still quite good.

So Salzburg's idea of ​​using this to open up the situation was in vain. After realizing this, the Salzburg players seemed very frustrated, and then Southampton gradually tore apart through continuous offense. Opened their defenses.

Lovren scored with a header to open the scoring for Southampton.

Chamberlain poked another goal in front of the goal.

In the second half, Lambert made a powerful head shake to fix the score at [-]-[-]!

"We have qualified! We will participate in the Europa League knockout round in the second half of the season!"

The fans of Southampton shouted frantically, their progress in the English Championship this season was already enough to make them feel excited, and now, they were able to qualify from the Europa League group stage one round ahead of schedule!

What is this performance?This is the performance of the top teams in the Premier League!

You must know that Liverpool and Manchester City have not yet been able to ensure that they will qualify for the group stage...

And as long as Southampton draws in the next game, they will be able to ensure that the group will qualify first!

The performance in the British Championship is the foundation, while the performance in the European competition is related to everyone's face.

This is the difference.

"It's a pleasure to play like this... Jenkinson? He's a fantastic young lad, there's no denying that, although he's mainly at centre-back and right-back, he can also play at left-back, in a variety of positions. Young players are helpful, especially defensive players. Dixon? I have no problem with him, it's just a normal rotation." Kiya replied in an interview.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that since the beginning of this season, Southampton's tactics and details have been adjusted. For example, Chamberlain was righted shortly after the start of the season, Lallana and Mkhitaryan were rotated, and Navas was gradually determined to be the main goalkeeper. , and now Jenkinson is playing left back to replace Dixon...

With such adjustments, even if Southampton's lineup this season has been completely stabilized, unless there are major changes, otherwise, it is unlikely that there will be any major adjustments.

In fact, this lineup has also tended to be stable and has withstood the test in European competitions. In the second half of the season, their performance will definitely be more stable.

Thinking of this, and looking at Southampton's performance so far, everyone can't help but gasp-how scary their performance is.
