When the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game, the score of four to one was finally fixed on the electronic scoreboard of Sun Life Stadium, which also shocked everyone present.
Is this still a newly promoted team in the Premier League?
This is really the Saints team that was still in League One two years ago In just two years, this team has already had the strength to compete with Europe's top powers.
They even defeated the all-powerful Barcelona 4-1.
Draw with Manchester United, win Bayern Munich, defeat Real Madrid, eliminate Juventus There is no doubt that the International Champions Cup competition is full of gold content.
The high appearance fees and eye-watering bonuses are enough to make all the wealthy teams try their best.
It was in such fierce competition that Southampton stood out, defeated each opponent, and won the championship trophy in this warm-up match, which shocked everyone.
The broadcast cameras at Sun Life Stadium kept switching back and forth, from the elated Southampton players to the extremely depressed Barcelona players after losing the game.
The faces of each of them were full of dissatisfaction, but they were helpless.
Gerard Pique sat down on the turf almost exhausted.
It was a pity that his excuse that his aunt was here could not convince Vilanova.
Maybe he couldn't say it at all.
Who knows what happened in the locker room?
Anyway, Vilanova replaced Puyol with Argentinian player Mascherano in the second half, but left Pique on the court.
As a result, the miserable Barcelona central defender was ravaged by Drogba until he was completely out of shape.
Seeing him sitting on the grass, full of grievances and a sad expression on his face, one can't help but wonder how many people have screwed him.
Vilanova stood on the sidelines very depressed, looking at Bielsa who showed no expression in the distance. he lost Not because of the player, but because he himself is inferior in skills For Vilanova, who has finally been promoted from Barcelona's assistant coach and is ambitious to have a big career as Barcelona's coach, admitting this is undoubtedly a very painful thing.
But the fact is the fact Bielsa defeated him tactically in this game In the stands of Sun Life Stadium, Yang Huan laughed, watching Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and others constantly accepting congratulations from everyone.
Although this is just a warm-up cup, it is also a championship, isn't it?
Besides, the bonus income from this championship is quite good.
But what Yang Huan is even more happy about is the progress of the team's integration, which is very smooth.
In the second half, Bielsa significantly rotated the team with a 3-0 lead.
By the 60th minute of the game, all eleven players in the team's starting lineup had been replaced.
Including goalkeeper Neuer, they were all replaced by the newly joined substitute goalkeeper, Brazil national goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
It was just a few days ago that Southampton announced the players they had introduced from Inter Milan.
Cesar cut his salary to join Southampton.
The person responsible for operating this transfer is Italy's chief agent, Raiola.
Another midfield configuration, the combination of Isco, Matic and Pogba, is also very eye-catching.
After Barcelona took advantage of Southampton's drastic substitution adjustments and regained a goal, Drogba beat Pique with a header at a critical moment.
The ball came from a cross from Ravel Morrison on the right.
But before that, Pogba's long shot from outside the penalty area hit Mascherano and then bounced to the right.
Hazard's performance on the left is also remarkable.
Although not as good as Neymar, he is still quite good.
The team has been able to integrate to this extent, and Yang Huan is quite satisfied with the progress.
At the same time, we are also full of confidence in the Premier League in the new season.
It took a lot of effort and two years to get back to the Premier League.
If I couldn’t make a big splash, I would feel sorry for myself.
Looking at the rostrum, the presidents and owners of the other teams who are also competitors all have stern expressions on their faces.
This is undoubtedly the greatest appreciation for Southampton.
Yang Huan is now very confident and confident.
He is full of confidence and expectations for the new Premier League season.
Premier League, here we come Southampton stunned the world by defeating Barcelona 4-1 in the International Champions Cup final.
This is not an unpopular team.
Even in the past two years, countless fans and non-fans are very familiar with this team.
However, no one would have thought that this team would perform so strongly In the past season, Southampton has won two domestic cup championships and one Europa League championship.

But everyone knows that domestic cup competitions are not taken very seriously, and the Europa League has not encountered any powerful teams. .
But this time it's obviously different Among the eight teams participating in the International Champions Cup this time, Real Madrid and Barcelona are recognized as the two strongest teams in today's football.
Bayern Munich was the winner of the Champions League last season.
How strong is Ferguson's Manchester United?
No one has the slightest bit of controversy.
Juventus has steadily improved in strength in recent years and has risen very quickly.
There are superstars such as Pirlo and Buffon in the team.
Although Manchester City is a nouveau riche, this team was the Premier League champion last season.
Although Arsenal is not strong, it is still a team that has stabilized the Champions League knockout level and is one of the top four clubs in the Premier League.
Such a cup configuration can no longer be described as luxurious.
That's a Champions League level competition.
But in such fierce competition, Southampton defeated strong opponents one after another and won the final championship.
How can this not shock or amaze people?
Overnight, almost all media around the world were reporting on and paying attention to this team, this final, and this cup competition.
It's unbelievable, isn't it?
A newly promoted team from the Premier League actually defeated so many wealthy teams.
Is there anything more dramatic than this?
Ever since, in newspapers and on the Internet, the eyes of countless fans have glanced at Southampton.
But at the same time, there was an even larger group of people paying attention to another grand event on the Internet.
That is the third-generation divine song, Little Apple, a collaboration between goddess Lin Yoona and Uncle Psy To Zi Teng.
Among the more than 70,000 fans at Sun Life Stadium, a considerable number of them went for Psy and Yoona Lin.
The focus of their attention is obviously not on the competition.
The International Champions Cup competition is more like a giveaway.
Uncle Psy and Lin Yoona are the protagonists they care about most.
This can be seen on social networks.
In the past month, the International Champions Cup has become popular throughout the United States, but the people who talk about it the most are not fans.
But the fanatical fans of Uncle Psy and Lin Yoona.
They are simply more concerned about the schedule than those die-hard fans.
The reason is very simple.
Before every game, the organizers will arrange for one of Psy or Lin Yoona to sing on the stage, and some even have both of them appearing at the same time.
Moreover, the tracks they sang are all new songs from the new album, which can be called the world premiere.
This made fans very enthusiastic, either attending the event in person or waiting in front of the TV, hoping to witness this moment.
Coupled with the organizer's conscious promotion, the entire event triggered a craze in the United States.
It is also because of this that James Murdoch attaches so much importance to the broadcast rights for the next three years.
After more than half a month of planning and preparation, in the finals, this enthusiasm finally exploded.
On the Internet, less than ten minutes after Little Apple sang, Uncle Psy, Yoona Lin, and Little Apple have become the most popular keywords on WeChat, Twitter, and Facebook.
Thousands of netizens are discussing this song.
Song.
When Miracle Media took the lead in releasing Little Apple's song on the Apple Store, in less than half an hour, the song shot to the top of the Apple charts.
This is a quite astonishing figure.
Early the next morning, news about Uncle Psy, Yoona Lin and Little Apple, as well as Southampton and the International Champions Cup were posted on major websites, and the headlines of major newspapers once again triggered a frenzy.
Fox Sports is also benefiting from this.
The reason is simple.
For the first time, they used a drone during a live broadcast and shot several high-definition videos of Sun Life Stadium, which clearly showed the entire singing process of Uncle Psy and Yoona Lin, as well as the game. some fragments of.
As soon as these videos were posted on the Internet, they were immediately pushed to the top of YouTube's popular list by crazy fans.

But if that's all it is, then it's nothing.
On the third day, Miracle Media held a press conference in Miami to announce the numerous achievements of the first International Champions Cup.
First, Manchester United reached a sponsorship agreement with the Chevrolet brand owned by General Motors.
The six-year contract has a total value of up to 300 million pounds, which is equivalent to 560 million US dollars.
Then came Southampton, which announced that American casual clothing tyhofiger would become the official partner of the Saints for five years, with a total amount of up to 30 million pounds, which is 6 million pounds a year.
At the same time, the famous chip company Intel also sponsors advertising on the inside of Southampton's jersey.

To this end, Intel will pay Southampton a total of 25 million pounds in sponsorship fees.

The famous American MetLife also announced that it will sponsor the advertising space on the left and right sides of Southampton's jersey for a five-year total value of 50 million pounds.
This is also an exclusive sponsorship.
MetLife will become Southampton's global senior partner. , the only insurance company that has licensed Southampton’s trademark and star image rights.
The latter will also gradually launch a series of products for Saints and Southampton stars.
Following Southampton, Miracle Media also announced that Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal have signed sponsorship contracts during the International Champions Cup, including giant companies like Microsoft.
At the end of the press conference, Sun Yue said that the first International Champions Cup not only achieved great success in terms of event operation, but also achieved shocking achievements in business operations.
"We have signed a total of ten sponsorship contracts for teams participating in the competition, with a total value of more than 500 million pounds.
At the same time, there are more than a dozen contracts that are currently being followed up and are expected to be signed in the near future."
This suddenly shocked the whole world We all know that Americans are rich, but who would have thought that American companies would be so rich?
In more than half a month, a contract worth 500 million pounds was signed.
This is simply unbelievable As soon as the news spread back to Europe, almost the entire Europe was shocked.
When Europe encountered the European debt crisis and the income of countless teams dropped sharply, the big gold mine in the United States suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The golden light was so dazzling that it could not make people uneasy For a time, the International Champions Cup was no longer a warm-up cup in everyone's eyes.
It has become a money printing machine and the best platform for all European teams to enter the American market.
In less than a day, almost all the phone calls at Miracle Media’s headquarters office in London were being buzzed by calls from European professional teams who came after hearing the news.
All the teams are asking one thing: Will they hold the tournament next year or expand the team?
Is there still a shortage of teams?
That grand occasion once again triggered a lot of hype from media around the world.
At the same time, it also made the seven wealthy teams that had signed five-year competition contracts feel happy.
At least now I don’t have to steal the lead like other teams do.
But there are also some teams that regret it so much that their intestines are blue.
Especially AC Milan's Galliani and Chelsea's Abramovich.
How come other people go to the United States to participate in competitions, and we also go to the United States to participate in competitions.
They make a lot of money, but we are empty-handed.
More importantly, they plan to go again next year, but what about me?
Whether the North American Invitational Tournament will be held next year is still unknown.
It’s really depressing when I think about it.
Why was I so confused in the first place that I rejected Miracle Media?
It’s okay now, people have made a name for themselves, and even if you come to your door to cheat on you now, I’m afraid they won’t pay attention to you.
The International Champions Cup is now popular, but you still need a team A London-area newspaper broke the news that Abramovich scolded Marina Granovskya and Bruce Buck at Stamford Bridge.
After Galliani returned to Milan, he was called over and severely criticized by Berlusconi.
Barbara even took the opportunity to ask him to hand over more power, further weakening Galliani's influence in the Rossoneri.
However, these pieces of news did not attract much attention from fans and media.
The reason is that there is naturally more explosive news that deserves their attention:
