Chapter 1042： Big explosion?

The League Cup final ended with the Saints defeating Manchester City 2-1.

In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, the Saints’ teenagers finally exposed a flaw. Manchester City seized the opportunity. Substitute center Abu Bakar scored a face-recovering goal for Blue Moon.

Although Pellegrini signaled the team to press on and want to equalize the score, the Saints quickly stabilized the situation and made a round of indiscriminate bombing. In just two minutes, they shot four consecutive feet in front of Manchester City goal Threatening shots, so scared where can Manchester City come out again?

In the end, the score was locked at two to one.

Once again won the League Cup, this group of young players in the Saints are very excited.

The Saints fans who came to Wembley Stadium to watch the game were also very excited.

Although, in the past few years, the Saints have been softened by the championship, but as a fan, who would dislike the team's championship?

Besides, this time is different from before. This time in the League Cup, the Saints played with pure substitutes and youth team lineups, but they repeatedly defeated such powerful opponents as Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City. The team performed imaginable. know.

Fans are also ecstatic that the team can have such a powerful bench lineup and young players.

These are the future of the saints!

The British media also praised the Saints for their victory, but they were not surprised.

Because of the past two or three years, the Saints' results have been steadily improving, and they are also the most powerful team in the Premier League.

Even as early as the past two seasons, the thickness of the Saints' bench and the performance of the youth teenager have been impressive.

Needless to say, the first-team substitutes and young teenagers have always performed quite well in domestic cups such as the League Cup and the FA Cup. They have even reached the finals before, but unfortunately they failed to win the championship.

The Saints Second Team is even more serious.

Since the official establishment of the League C, the Saints II team has been upgraded year by year, from the League C to the League B and then into the League One.

In this season's League One, the Saints II team currently beats Gillingham, Wigan Athletic, Sheffield United and Coventry and other traditional teams, ranking second in the standings, away from the leader Burton Albi Well, there is only one point difference.

According to the performance of the Saints Second Team, there is a great possibility of upgrade.

Once the second team is promoted to the British Championship, it will bring huge benefits to the Saints' entire youth training system.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the training of youth team players must far exceed other teams.

Tillimans, who shined in the Saints first team this season, performed well in the second team and was promoted to the first team.

Today, the Saints II team also has young players such as Patrick Roberts, Halilović, Ruben Neves, Max Lopez and Gersson. They are all talented but young. Players.

But what is most admired by fans all over the world is the Saint's youth training system with super star-making ability.

When everyone turned their eyes on the Norwegian genius Odegard who switched to Real Madrid, Southampton low-key introduced from Norway the teenager Christopher Ayer and the Chinese teenager Hou Yongyong.

In terms of fame, Odegarde was undoubtedly ahead of the other two players in the previous huge transfer battle.

But now, when Odegard is still in the second team of Real Madrid, and can't even get the main position, Ayer and Hou Yongyong have played for the Saints for a season in the League of Legends, and accumulated Great game experience.

Especially Ayer, in this season of the League, his performance has won the recognition and affirmation of countless experts.

From this point of view, Southampton’s youth training attitude is undoubtedly more pragmatic.

The first team is strong and strong, and the youth team has many talents. All media reporters and fans have compared the Saints with Barcelona in 2009. Many people even think that the Saints have surpassed Barcelona at their peak.

Because the Saints completed the defense in the Champions League, this is a feat that the three dream teams at the peak could not accomplish.

Not only that, but this season the Saints are still moving towards three consecutive championships.

If the Saints really won three consecutive championships, it will undoubtedly surpass Barcelona.

After seeing the average age of the first team is so reasonable, and the youth team has a talent blowout situation, who dares to say that the Saints will not become the strongest ruler of the Premier League and even European football in the next few years?

When the Saints returned to Southampton from London holding a League Cup championship trophy, they were immediately welcomed by all the fans in the city.

All of them are proud of the team's achievements.

The glory of the Saints is built up by these trophies. As the most ardent fans of the Saints, they are doing their best to support the team they love.

But now is far from the time to celebrate, because now is the time when the competition is most intensive.

Three days after the Saints returned from London with honour, the Saints challenged Bournemouth away.

In the last round of rest, this round of Saints sent their main players to play and beat Bournemouth 6-0.

This season's Premier League goalscorer Suarez once again staged a hat-trick, and continues to be the top scorer in the Premier League.

But Messi's performance in this game is also not bad, scored twice, allowing Messi to officially catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo's league goal, and Hazard also scored a goal.

What's interesting is that in the league's scorer list, Suarez is ranked first, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are tied for second, but Hazard is ranked third.

Even Chilean winger Sanchez also entered the top ten scorers list, the Saints' powerful offensive power is evident.

Three days later, the Saints were sitting at home, but their opponent was Bournemouth.

But this is not a league, but a knockout match in the sixth round of the FA Cup.

This time the Saints still did their best to play with substitutes and young teenagers. As a result, this group of Saints players who had just killed Manchester City at Wembley Stadium once again won Bournemouth 3-0 at the Glory Stadium and advanced smoothly. Semi-finals.

For a while, the entire English football arena exclaimed, what are the Saints doing?

In the daily game show, Gary Lineker cheered loudly for the saints in the show.

"I have never seen a team, like the Saints, with such an amazing dominance. They can win the Premier League team even with a substitute and a second team. This is incredible! "

As a guest of the daily game, Manchester United star Gary Neville also spoke highly of Ancelotti's team.

"If I want to choose, the best team in Europe this season is undoubtedly the Saints, the best coach, needless to say, it must be Ancelotti."

"This team played incredible football. I can hardly imagine any team like the Saints, with such a strong game control, which reminds me of Guardiola's Barcelona. "

But soon, Manchester United star vetoed his own judgment.

"Oh, no, I think the dominance of this saint has surpassed Barcelona at its peak!"

Alan Shearer also said on the side, “Guardiola said that even he was surprised by the football played by this Saint!”

"Yes, but it also makes me look forward to it. Next season, after Guardiola coaches the Saints, what changes will he bring to Southampton?"

"Hehe, Gary, not just you, but fans all over the world are looking forward to it."

Yes, everyone can't believe it and are looking forward to it.

It should be said that when Guardiola took over Bayern Munich, this team was at its peak, and although Guardiola took over, Bayern Munich has not been able to continue to gain some in the European arena, and even encountered rivals. Humiliated, but in any case, Guardiola's coaching and transformation in Bayern Munich is still quite successful.

At least, this German team makes everyone feel a kind of delicacy and stability, which is obviously different from Heynckes, and even Bayern Munich has never had a football style before.

This style is very advanced and very pleasing.

As for the team’s inability to produce results, this cannot be entirely attributed to Guardiola, can it?

But the saints are obviously different.

Southampton is now full of talents. The team is in a golden age and the age structure is very reasonable. Together with the talents of the youth team, and the coach Ancelotti on the basis of Bielsa, the team has further improved. Tactical concept.

It is especially worth considering that once Ancelotti has excellent results in coaching this season, Guardiola will inevitably face an unprecedented challenge after he takes over the team.

That's how to lead a team that has achieved overall success and break through again.

Depends on today's football, the most breakthrough coach, except for Bielsa, is Guardiola.

This is why fans and football professionals all over the world are looking forward to Guardiola's Saints.

As the boss of Saints, Yang Huan also looks forward to it.

But unlike the fans outside, he is very clear-headed.

He clearly knows that Ancelotti's success is difficult to sustain.

The team has remained undefeated so far, all fronts are advancing side by side, and it is even possible to make breakthroughs in performance, especially now that the Premier League championship has basically been received, the team's next focus will definitely be on the cup.

In this case, it is very likely that Ancelotti's team will break through again in terms of results.

But what about next season?

Even if Ancelotti continues to coach, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to maintain his outstanding performance this season.

After the peak of the team, there will definitely be ups and downs.

Therefore, Yang Huan is very clear that at this time, all the team needs to do is to change.

But it takes time, trials, and mistakes. Therefore, it is unreasonable to ask Guardiola to produce results as soon as they come.

Therefore, Yang Huan’s attitude towards Pep Guardiola is very clear, not to put too much pressure on performance, but to give him enough room for coaching.

This is why the Saints kept a low profile on the issue of coaching changes.

On the one hand, this is respect for Ancelotti, and on the other hand, it is also a decompression for Guardiola.

As for the attention of the media and fans, with the status of today's saint and Guardiola's influence, no matter how low-key it is, it will definitely arouse the attention and discussion of media and fans all over the world.

In addition, Yang Huan told Mubarak frankly that there is only a one-year contract between the Saints and Ancelotti, which has long been determined.

Mubarak didn't know until this time that the Saints had managed to get Guardiola more than a year in advance, but they and Abramovich were going after them desperately.

At this time, the Manchester City chairman was too embarrassed to kill himself However, Yang Huan also made a request to Mubarak, that is, no matter what the talks between Manchester City and Ancelotti are, it must be Keep it secret, because he doesn't want to affect the team's performance.

Mubarak also agreed to Young Master Huan's request, saying that he must be low-key.

After dealing with these matters, Yang Huan left the UK non-stop and flew back to China.

But he didn't go to the capital, nor to Longhai, but to Jincheng near the capital.

Because he was going to supervise the first round of the new season Super League, Jingcheng Guoen played away to Tianjin Delta.

This is also the most anticipated battle in the first round of the Super League this season.

Especially domestic fans are all paying attention to the debut of the Beijing Guoen team.

In the five awkward record of the warm-up match, can Pochettino usher in a big explosion?
