Chapter 395: Unique, Only Saints


“It’s terrible” Seeing Southampton's two top centers team up to direct such a goal, Platini was filled with wonder.

"This is really terrible" Almost everyone around him nodded involuntarily.

Who says it's not?

For other teams, even wealthy teams, having a top center is considered quite a luxury.

But Southampton is good, and they directly included two of the world's top centers in one go.

This is not the most important thing.

What is terrible is that these two top centers are also playing at the same time.

Oh my god, do you want to let other teams live?

Let alone Atletico Madrid, even if Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and other teams come, they still have to disarm.

Who can withstand the impact of these two centers?

Yang Huan smiled, somewhat proudly.

Southampton is like his child.

What parent would not be proud of his child's achievements?

When Ibrahimovic came to Southampton, he was at the lowest point of his career.

And Drogba?

The situation is not much better.

But these two major centers have rediscovered their form here in Southampton, and they have also shined brightly.

Although they are still some distance from the peak of their careers, their performances are all amazing.

Especially tonight, the two of them actually played at the same time.

It was so surprising.

Yang Huan looked towards the distance of the stands.

The faces of Qin Yongming and Qian Duoduo turned into bitter gourds, as if they wanted to fire all the players and coaches on the court.

Master Huan is so happy in his heart.

With a two-goal lead, you Atletico Madrid can still keep their composure, why don't you rush out and play?

Not to mention, Simeone also went all out and asked the players to stop being defensive and adopt high-intensity pressure and pressing in order to score goals.

Otherwise, Atletico Madrid will be finished in this game.

But the question is, will Southampton go your way?

You said before that you had to be on guard, so you retreated.

I had no choice but to let you go.

But now, I have the advantage.

If you want to attack me, have you ever asked me if I am willing?

When the game resumed, Bielsa's team told Atletico Madrid with practical actions.

It's easy to go back, but it's difficult to push it out again.

The Saints seem to have tasted the sweetness of the twin tower tactics.

They attack more from two wings and advance to the 30-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid.

Then either of the two centers will pull out to stand and do what they want. wall.

What's interesting is that Southampton's two centers not only have beast-level physical fitness, but also have comprehensive technical characteristics.

Whether it is Drogba or Ibrahimovic, their ability to build walls is quite good.

At least, neither Godin nor Miranda can shake One is pulled to the outside to form a wall, and the other is inserted in the penalty area to wait for opportunities.

Southampton's twin tower tactics are so simple and so willful that you just can't resolve them.

Atletico Madrid is struggling now.

They want to press out, but they can't.

They want to retreat, but they can't.

It's difficult.

Simeone stood on the sidelines and really had no choice.

Atletico Madrid itself is not a strong team, and they have managed to put together a competitive main lineup, but the thickness of the bench is very poor.

Even if they want to make substitutions, they can't find anyone to replace them.

These two are not as good as the players on the field.

Even the main players can't bear it.

If you replace them with a group of substitutes and a group of young players, it won't be even more difficult.

Therefore, Simeone was walking around anxiously on the sidelines, almost furious.

After taking a two-goal lead, Southampton became more patient mentally and began to organize in an orderly manner.

Under the organization and planning of Toni Kroos and Stroman, Atletico Madrid was bombarded time and time again.

In the end, the bedsheet army was forced to retreat to an area of ​​30 meters.

But everyone can see that if Atletico Madrid relies on one breath to hold on, it will be a matter of time before a goal is scored.

But this team is indeed tough, and they withstood Southampton's offensive in one breath.

Sky UK chief executive Jeremy Dallock was sitting in the Chairman's Stand at the National Stadium.

He stared dumbfounded at what was happening below the court.

A team from England's second-tier league unexpectedly suppressed Atletico Madrid, a traditional powerhouse from La Liga, in the half court, bombarding them indiscriminately and playing in a very embarrassing manner.

Not many teams can get such an advantage, let alone the Premier League, even in the entire European football world.

Without exception, those are the strongest and top wealthy families at the moment.

For example, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, etc.

But this Southampton team from England's second-tier league actually did the same thing as these top teams.

This shocked Jeremy Darroch and made him think of more things.

This season has been a downturn in Premier League football.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams have been eliminated from the Champions League, and the Premier League teams have also failed in the Europa League.

As early as March, all Premier League teams announced their departure from the European battlefield early.

This also makes Premier League fans feel dissatisfied But at this time, Southampton, who was originally not taken seriously by anyone, came from England's second-tier league, but instead independently supported the banner of English football, successfully avenged strong teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City, and defeated Valencia.

European giants such as West Asia, Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon.

More importantly, Southampton reached the Europa League final Sometimes, a championship can cover up many, many problems.

This summer is the London Olympics.

Not only London fans, but also English fans and even Premier League fans hope to have a European championship trophy to celebrate the coming of the Olympics.

Since we can’t win the Champions League, the same goes for the Europa League.

In the past two months, Southampton has almost become the hope of England fans.

That's the only hope What’s even more frightening is that this team did not live up to the fans’ expectations.

As CEO of Sky TV UK, Jeremy Dallock can clearly see that Southampton's reputation has skyrocketed in the UK and among Premier League fans around the world in the past two months.

If only tonight, Southampton won a Europa League championship for Britain.

Then, the reputation and influence created will not be lost to Manchester United, Chelsea and other giants to win the next Champions League.

It is foreseeable that Southampton will participate in the Premier League as a newly promoted team next season, but they will become the most eye-catching newly promoted team in history.

Has anyone seen a newly promoted team with two domestic cup titles and one European Cup title?

Nothing but saints All of this will bring unprecedented attention to the Saints and attract the attention of countless fans.

To a certain extent, Sky TV can do without Liverpool, without Arsenal, and even reduce the number of live broadcasts of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, but it cannot do without Southampton.

This is also where the current negotiations between Sky TV and the Premier League are most tense.

Both sides know the value of Southampton, but there are differences in how to divide this piece of the pie.

But after seeing this game now, Jeremy Darroch is very sure that the differences should be resolved.

No matter what, Sky TV is determined to win Southampton.

Just when Jeremy Dallock had made up his mind, there was a sudden uproar in the National Stadium.

The CEO of Sky TV suddenly looked up and saw the referee on duty quickly running towards the Atletico Madrid half and raising a yellow card towards Gabi, indicating that this was a Southampton incident.

Free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

The commentary voice of the on-site commentator came from the radio just right.

"Toni Kroos made a long diagonal pass.

When Carvajal received the ball, Gabi made a push while defending.

Southampton was about 30 meters away from the goal, leaning towards the right side of the frontcourt. ball opportunity" Jeremy Darroch immediately recognized that this was a great opportunity.

Isn’t Toni Kroos of Southampton a master of set pieces?

In addition, there are high center forwards like Drogba and Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt, and Javi Martinez and Varane are also not weak in height and header ability.

Relatively speaking, Southampton's average height is obviously higher than Atletico Madrid.

This is an advantage when setting the ball Sure enough, as soon as the referee made the penalty, Toni Kroos walked to the right without hesitation and came to the penalty spot.

He gently wiped the ball, placed it near the tee point, and backed away slowly.

Atletico Madrid players have started running over to form a wall.

There were obviously more tall players in Southampton, and they all rushed into Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

The momentum was indeed quite terrifying, causing Atletico Madrid players to scramble for arrangements.

Goalkeeper Asenjo first arranged the wall and then jumped on the spot a few times to warm up.

Several of Southampton's threatening top contenders are ambushing in the penalty area.

No one knows where Toni Kroos's penalty kick will land or who will compete for the top.

The referee held the silver whistle in his mouth, and Toni Kroos raised his right hand high and made a gesture.

What's the meaning Atletico Madrid's players were so confused that they couldn't figure it out.

Someone in the penalty area shouted, "Look, one to one, keep an eye on them all."

Obviously, it was a reminder to the Atletico Madrid players.

But when the referee's whistle blew, everyone was in chaos.

I saw Toni Kroos rushing forward quickly, and with a bang, the ball flew out due to force.

Originally, one was staring at the other, and some were even worried about missing someone, so they all grabbed each other's jerseys.

But this time, people were coming and going, running around, and it was hard to tell who was missing and who was missing.

Ibrahimovic and Varane both rushed to the front point immediately.

The two tall players rushed forward, scaring Atletico Madrid's defensive players to follow them.

But the ball's landing point was obviously not at the front point.

It’s not like I’m going to order later.

Although Javi Martinez occupied the back spot It's the middle road "Drogba" Asenjo was the first to react and shouted.

The ball landed in the middle of the small penalty area.

Drogba came from behind and reached out to stop Godin.

Although Godin pulled Drogba's jersey, he was unable to stop Drogba.

The Ivorian jumped ahead of Godin, leaped high to meet the ball, and shook his head like a lion.

At this moment, everyone in the penalty area looked at Drogba and watched the ball hit his head, turn in one direction, and fall towards the left post of the goal.

The free kick was taken from the right side.

Asenjo was stationed on the right.

Drogba suddenly shook his head and attacked the ball to the left.

Asenjo was beyond his reach.

Atletico Madrid had five or six defensive players in the penalty area, but at this time they could only watch Drogba's header hit their own goal line and hit the net.

Everyone looked on dumbfounded.

A feeling of fatigue emerged from the bottom of my heart and swept through my body.

Finished three to zero Atletico Madrid is finished Completely finished:
