Yukinari Sugawara (24, Southampton), who dominated Eredivisie just last season, is adapting to the Premier League.
Southampton lost 2-3 at home in the 12th round of the 2024/25 Premier League at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England, on the 24th (local time).
This is a result that leaves a deep regret for Southampton, who are in desperate need of escaping the relegation zone. Southampton, which allowed Dominique Sobosley to score in the 30th minute of the first half, balanced with Adam Armstrong's score in the 42nd minute of the first half, and Matheus Fernandez scored a come-from-behind goal in the second half and seemed to secure three points.
His defensive concentration was hampered. Southampton made a mistake in the 20th minute when Alex McCarthy narrowed the angle and popped out, and dedicated the equalizer to Mohamed Salah.
Sugawara, who was substituted in the 38th minute of the second half, made an accident. When he touched Salah's cross from the right side, he declared a penalty. Sugawara appealed for unfairness, saying, "I was hit by a ball," but it was a handball, and Salah, who boasts a high penalty kick success rate, succeeded in multi-goal.
In the end, the 38-year-old coach Russell Martin got angry. Martin said in an interview after the game that the loss we gave was too poor and disappointing.
He then blamed himself, saying that he was also a big stake in the loss. Martin said, "I instructed the players to play as fast as possible. Liverpool had many players in the attacking area. It was a wrong judgment, and I was responsible for it," adding, "I had to pay more attention to the back when defending from the front, but I couldn't. We have to find a clearer and more detailed solution." 토토사이트
Martin said, "We can talk about losing points all day long, but it was not without good moments. Players are really young, learning and growing. We have to keep going, and the only way is to learn from many moments," stressing not to be intimidated by defeat.
Meanwhile, soccer statistics magazine "FotMob" gave Sugawara a 5.9 rating. Martin is likely to be troubled by the lack of resources, which was expected to be the only one among the two teams with five points.
