Chapter 730： Home of the devil

Accompanied by the sound of harsh tires rubbing against the runway, a Boeing aircraft with the Emirates logo slowly landed on the runway of London Heathrow Airport.

Not long after, a luxury bus with the Real Madrid team logo printed on its body drove into the apron of Heathrow Airport.

A few minutes later, when the group of reporters waiting for Real Madrid to appear in the Heathrow Airport terminal chased out the gate, the bus that picked up the Real Madrid players had already left.

On the highway, all the way south, to Southampton.

After more than an hour of voyage, the players in the car are generally sitting in their seats, either plugging in headphones and listening to music, or simply closing their eyes and resting, or turning their heads to look outside through the car window. landscape.

From London to Southampton, the scenery on the road is still very good.

At the very least, much better than Madrid.

"Gareth, you have lived in Southampton for so many years, is there anything interesting here?"

Ramos, who was sitting next door, asked expectantly.

He would ask such a question almost every time he went to an away game.

Gareth Bale shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't answer this question."

"Why?" Ramos was a little strange.

Several teammates around listened to their conversation, and they all showed a curious look, and looked over.

After Gareth Bale moved to Real Madrid from Southampton, he was a little out of tune with the many factions in the team, which made him have no friends in the team to talk about, so no one knew about him.

Nowadays, it is a rare opportunity to learn about it. Anyone with a little gossip spirit will not miss it.

"Actually, I haven't lived in Southampton for long."

Carvajal leaned his head on the seat, a little strange, "Aren't you a saint's youth training?"

"Yes!" Gareth Bale nodded, "I did come from the Saints Youth Training Camp, but I have been training in Bath before. Southampton has youth training academies in many places in England. Part of the youth training system."

"Bath, I know this place, a very famous tourist city, seems to be a world cultural heritage city."

The young Real Madrid talent rookie Hesse said with excitement.

As a young man, he also desires to be able to better integrate into this group of stars.

"Yes, it is a very beautiful town, and it has a very good university. I stayed there for a long time. I didn’t come to Southampton until I graduated from high school and entered the Saint’s youth academy. Then I came out soon. Then the Saints were demoted, and then I went to Tottenham Hotspur."

With that said, his time in Southampton is indeed not long.

No wonder, it seems that he doesn't seem to have any so-called loyalty to the saints, it turned out to be such a thing.

At this time, Vidal said: "If you are going to play in Southampton, the New Forest is not far, and the Isle of Wight is also very close. Now the most popular are the underwater hotel and the sea football stadium."

Undersea hotel? Sea football field?

When I heard this name, it made people feel extremely high-end and high-end.

"Arturo, have you ever been back?" Carvajal asked.

He has never returned to Southampton since he moved to Real Madrid.

"Well, I went back during the winter break. I plan to let my children stay in England to study." Vidal laughed.

Don't look at him on the pitch, he always looks desperately Saburo, but under the football field, he is a bit shy and introverted, and very family-oriented, very caring for his family and children.

"Education in the UK is indeed much better, but it is not very convenient to keep children in the UK." Harvey Alonso, who has not spoken, also said.

Everyone in the team knows that Harvey Alonso is a well-known literary and artistic youth. When he rests, his biggest interest is to hold a book and find a place where no one can eat.

Moreover, his daughter is just in school age, so he attaches great importance to the topic of education.

"The school that Master Huan helped to find is also very famous in London. You can't get in even if you have money, and I have calculated it. It takes only one and a half hours to fly from Madrid to London. I come back once a week. , The family should stay in the UK, it should be no problem."

Harvey Alonso listened and nodded, "Yes, this is not bad."

After a pause, he smiled again, "Unexpectedly, your Young Master Huan is kind to you, and he even helped your children find a school, not bad!"

"That is!" Carvajal grabbed the words and said, "When it comes to Young Master Huan, there is nothing to say. He is completely different from the other rich second generations. He is righteous and easy to talk. The most important thing is that he I like football very much, and I respect and take care of our players. Such a boss is hard to come by!"

"Is it really so good?" Ramos deliberately doubted next to him.

"Of course!" Carvajal said.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been listening for a long time. At this time, he couldn't help but laughed and joked: "Since he is so good, you are not allowed to release the water later. We are defending the Champions League. Don't be merciful. !"

The Portuguese superstar's words immediately made everyone in the bus laugh.

"Don't worry, what Young Master Huan looks down on most is the kind of guy who eats inside and out. If we really let go, the first person to look down on us is Master Huan!"

Carvajal is the youth training of Real Madrid, and he is very close to Casillas and Ramos, especially Ramos, so he has a bit of status and influence in the team.

"But, Cristiano, you have to clean your sneakers tonight, and your toes can be more accurate."

"why?"

"At St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton will not give the opponent too many opportunities!"

"Really?" The Portuguese didn't believe it.

He has seen the pressing and oppression of Southampton in the Bernabeu match, and also experienced the suffocating pressing and oppression of Barcelona's peak period. Can the Saints be comparable to Barcelona?

But Vidal listened and nodded solemnly and reminded: "He was right. Southampton at home is completely different from Southampton away. If the Saints at St. Mary's Stadium can play very well, Bernabéu The Saints in that game had at most seven points!"

Seven points?

Everyone in the bus was stunned.

What is this concept?

The Real Madrid team has tried their best. As a result, the opponent only showed 70% strength?

Sitting in the front row of the bus, the head coach Ancelotti, who was silent all the time, just listening to the players, stood up at this time, turned around, and looked at everyone present, solemnly. Nodded.

"Arturo is right. The St. Mary's Stadium is the most famous home of the Devil in the Premier League in the past few years. I checked their information. In the two seasons of the Europa League, their home games have maintained a complete victory, and In the Premier League’s strong dialogue, their home record is also very good."

"So, St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton is the home of the famous Devil in the Premier League!"

Ancelotti's words, coupled with his expression, made everyone in the bus feel a solemnity, and even felt the anxiety in the head of the coach.

From the Bernabeu battle, they all deeply felt that Southampton was definitely stronger than they thought.

Originally they thought that the saints were Valencia or Seville at best.

Unexpectedly, Southampton's strength is not weaker than Real Madrid.

A draw at home is hard to say, but the two away goals have given Southampton to some extent the initiative.

What kind of tactics will Bielsa play in this game?

Will attack? Will it still defend?

These are all questions!

"Everyone!" Ancelotti felt the solemn atmosphere in the compartment, and he immediately said out again, because his purpose is not to tell the players how strong Southampton is, but to make them not underestimate the enemy.

"I have absolute confidence and certainty. As long as we can play our strength normally, we will be able to retreat from St. Mary's Stadium and we will smoothly advance to the semi-finals, I promise!"

With Ancelotti's words, everyone in the car was appropriately relieved.

But in everyone's heart, there are still some worries, after all, this is the home court of Southampton.

When the bus got off the highway and entered the city of Southampton, everyone in the car was stunned by what they saw before them.

It’s still afternoon, but on both sides of the street, there are all Saints fans wearing red and white arrow striped jerseys. There are even many fans whose faces are painted with oil paint. When they meet each other, they will enthusiastically shout, "The saints will win!"

When the Real Madrid bus entered the sight of these fans, there was a burst of boos.

"Look, Real Madrid's bus!"

"Brothers, hush me!"

"Shoo this group of Real Madrid players, let them go back!"

"Don't throw things, hey, whoever throws things again, whoever is **** is not a saint!"

"Yes, that's right, if we want to win, we must win openly on the court and don't engage in off-court moves!"

However, more and more Saints fans were chasing behind the bus, chanting various harassing slogans, and even burst into loud boos from time to time.

If nothing else, just aiming at that formation was enough to make everyone in the car a little frightened.

Especially after getting closer to St. Mary’s Stadium, the closer the distance, the more crowds there will be. Almost all around are Southampton fans, and everyone is booing them. Among them, threats and insults are not rare~www.novelhall .com~ Although everyone in the car has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of battles, they still couldn't help feeling cold.

With so many people, grandma, what if you lose control?

"Hey, Arturo, you guys are really not loyal, why didn't you give an early warning?" Ramos complained and looked at Vidal, who was a little unsure of the bold.

Vidal looked at Gareth Bale and Carvajal with wry smiles.

"We don't know why there was such a big battle. In the past, the attendance rate of the Saints game was very high, but it was not so outrageous. Looking at this posture, I am afraid that the whole city will be attacked and the whole city will be empty, right?"

"It should be. I read the media before and said that this is the best European war result in Southampton history. Therefore, they hope Southampton can go further, and everyone wants to witness the saints take this step with their own eyes, so it is said The tickets are crazy!"

The bus was quickly blocked by a sea of ​​red and white people on the periphery of the stadium, unable to move.

Everyone in the car looked at the front, back, left, and right. There were fans from Southampton everywhere, and they were nervous.

Especially when there are Saints fans knocking things, or even smashing the windows of the car, they are all shocked one by one. They are afraid that the situation can't be controlled. If the fans get into trouble, the matter will be big. Up.

Fortunately, within a few minutes, the police came upon hearing the news and drove a lane for the bus, allowing them to directly enter the player channel of St. Mary's Stadium.

But even so, Real Madrid still feel a bit of pressure.

Could it be that this is the so-called home of the devil?
