Minamino is a valuable opening goal, Southampton stop losing streak to Chelsea with a 1-1 draw
Southampton Japan’s national team, MF Takumi Minamino, started in the Premier League match against Chelsea (1-1) on the 20th, scoring a valuable opening goal. The local Liverpool newspaper described him as a “Minamino spy”, noting that the Minamino coup also played an important role for Liverpool.
Minamino made his new debut in the 23rd round against Newcastle (2-3) on February 6, and suddenly scored his first goal after the transfer in the 30th minute of the first half with a strong blow from his left foot. Although they started in the previous section against Wolverhampton (1-2), the team faced Chelsea in this section in a muddy state with six consecutive defeats.
Southampton have been on the defensive since the early days of new Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. When Minamino also received the ball in the middle, he was hit by a heavy charge from opposing midfielder N’Golo Kante and was unable to play as expected. However, in the 33rd minute of the first half, Minamino showed his strength and defeated the Chelsea defense.
Southampton, who were spinning the pass in the middle of the game, received a direct pass into the penalty area when English midfielder Nathan Redmond pointed out that Minamino ran into the gap between Chelsea’s defenders. He lost his balance with a target kick against opponent GK who faced him, and he dumped it on the outside of his right foot to score the first goal.
In the end, it ended in a 1-1 draw, but the local Liverpool daily “Liverpool Echo” posted on official Twitter as “Minamino Spy” on Minamino’s coup that stopped Chelsea’s momentum that had been winning in a row. In addition, an article in the same medium was titled “Fans are excited about Minamino’s goal when Liverpool qualify for the CL”.
Liverpool are practically out of the fight for victory, and although their aim is to secure their qualification for the UEFA Champions League (CL), Minamino, who hurt rival Chelsea, said: “I am impressed with Liverpool. I let you do it. “. In addition, Liverpool dropped the game against Everton 0-2 in the same stretch, and became a dress to balance Minamino’s “assist” at the post.
