No, not yet When Real Madrid players walked into the locker room, changed their jerseys, got ready, and walked out of the tunnel to warm up, they were immediately shocked by the crazy roaring and tsunami sound as soon as they entered the stadium. .
Darling, no one who has not been in it can understand that feeling at all.
If St.
Mary's Stadium is a turbulent and angry sea, then they seem to be in this angry sea.
There is no place around them to draw strength from.
They can only keep struggling and rely on their own will to survive. .
If you are a little braver, your legs will feel weak when you walk out of this passage.
"Damn it, are there really only over 30,000 people?"
"Yeah, it looks so dark.
There are people everywhere.
It doesn't look like there are only 30,000 people."
"There are more than 30,000 people, but the momentum created is bigger than our Bernabeu, no, it is bigger than Camp Nou.
This is too awesome."
"Be careful when you look back.
When serving corner kicks or throw-ins, don't get too close to the front row.
If you are caught in the stands, you will definitely be eaten alive and you won't even find the bones."
"Look at what you said, it seems like this place has become a man-eating jungle, but the momentum is indeed quite terrifying."
"Paper tigers, they are all paper tigers, let's just pretend they are singing" "Oh no, people are scolding you, but you still think you're singing."
"That's right, this concert isn't such a big event."
Just as everyone in Real Madrid was slowly walking out of the tunnel and about to enter the stadium to start the last warm-up training before the game, the Southampton crowd, who had been training on the field for who knows how long, came running over. one person.
It's Kaka "Ha, welcome to St.
Mary's Stadium" The Brazilian superstar smiled and opened his mouth, showing a mouth full of white teeth, looking very friendly.
"Kaká, is this how you welcome Saints fans" asked Cristiano Ronaldo.
He has played in the Premier League for so many years and knows that Premier League fans are very fanatical.
He has also been to many so-called devil's home stadiums, the most fanatical of which is Liverpool's Anfield.
But now, Southampton's St.
Mary's Stadium gave him the feeling that it was even more fanatical than Anfield.
"It's okay, Cristiano, they are actually just shouting slogans and supporting the team.
There is no other meaning.
You don't have to worry," Kaka comforted with a smile.
Everyone suddenly cursed in their hearts.
They are with you, so of course you don’t have to worry, but can we not worry?
"Okay, that's it, let's work hard each other, come on" After saying that, Kaka ran back to Southampton's half.
Watching Kaka leave the team, everyone present also had some understanding in their hearts.
When Kaka was at Real Madrid, had he never seen him like this?
He always had a heartfelt smile on his face.
After switching to Southampton, although he was unable to play the absolute main role, his performance was not bad at all.
Especially since entering the second half of the season, Kaka first came to the rescue at critical moments during the winter break, and then played a big role in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Everyone can see that he is getting better at Southampton. .
Come to think of it, he must be very happy, right?
"Okay, let's go to training," Ramos clapped his hands vigorously and shouted.
Since Casillas was relegated to the sidelines by Mourinho and Ancelotti came to power, his status has improved, but it has not improved.
Ramos has gradually become the leader of the Real Madrid dressing room.
Almost everyone knows that after Casillas leaves the team, the captain's armband will only belong to Ramos.
But just as everyone walked into the stadium, came to their own half, and started warm-up training, the fans in the stands suddenly became angry.

Obviously, in the eyes of this group of Saints fans, as long as they can interfere with and affect Real Madrid's preparations, they will do anything they can.
And in a football stadium, nothing is more influential than sound.
But Real Madrid players are not new to the world.
They have come to the Champions League finals, how can they be easily intimidated by such visiting team fans?
As a result, they quickly adjusted their mentality and began to engage in pre-match training sessions.
Ancelotti always stood on the sidelines, and his attention fell more on Southampton's half.
When he walked into the stadium, the Saints players had obviously already started training.
So how far in advance did they come to train?
What was Bielsa's plan?
Also, look at their roster.
James Rodriguez and Kaká are both in.
Who is on the list?
Three days ago, Southampton defeated Newcastle Magpies 4-0 at this very stadium.
This victory almost gave Southampton an early Premier League title Currently, the Premier League has played 32 rounds.
Southampton has 27 wins, three draws and two losses, with 84 points, leading the Premier League standings.
In second place is Manchester City, with a record of 23 wins, four draws and five losses, scoring 73 points, 11 points behind Southampton; third place is Assen with 71 points.
Na, followed by Tottenham Hotspur with 69 points, and Chelsea with 67 points.
With six rounds left in the league, the eleven-point lead is undoubtedly quite huge.
But it can’t be said that they are resting easy, because after Manchester City was eliminated from the Champions League recently, they concentrated on domestic competitions and performed very well.
They grabbed points fiercely and won consecutively.
They are very likely to catch up with Southampton. momentum.
This once again confirmed everyone's speculation before the season.
This season's Premier League will eventually become a battle between Southampton and Manchester City.
However, no one would have thought that the Saints' advantage would be so great.
On the contrary, Chelsea is currently ranked fifth.
If they cannot counterattack Tottenham Hotspur in the last six rounds, the Blues will probably miss the Champions League again.
This is not good news for Chelsea.
Perhaps because of the obvious lead in the league, Bielsa rotated the lineup very calmly, but this is also very confusing.
For example, James Rodriguez performed very well in the league game against Newcastle.
He made two passes and one shot, and was elected as the best player.
His condition can be said to be very red, but this time he played against Real Madrid, Bielsa Will he be assigned again?
You know, Kaká’s performance in the recent period has also been very good.
It is reasonable for who to be on the team and who not to be on the team.
While Ancelotti was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, assistant coach Paul Clement came over.
"I just found out that they came to the court fifteen minutes early to warm up."
"Fifteen minutes" Ancelotti frowned deeper because he vaguely guessed Bielsa's intentions.
"Could it be that he wants to attack immediately after the opening?"
Because we plan to adopt the strategy of attacking after the opening, we warm up in advance so that the players can get into the state earlier from the beginning of the game.
This is also the strategy of many teams that adopt attacking tactics.
"Absolutely possible," nodded Paul Clement.
When he just received this news, he also made this judgment, because this is the only reasonable explanation.
"Belsa's tactics have always been very targeted.
After the first round, he must have a deeper understanding of us.
Our defense is too weak, and he will definitely seize this to make an issue."
Ancelotti nodded helplessly.

Real Madrid's weakest link is the midfield, especially the defense in the midfield.
Although Vidal, who is both offensive and defensive, has been introduced this season, and Di Maria has also been transformed, the defensive problem in the midfield is still very serious.
The core crux is that none of the stars in the frontcourt are willing to Participate in on-the-spot counter-robbery.
In other words, the attitude of participating in defense is not positive.
This means that, despite the same technical midfield configuration, Real Madrid's midfielder bears heavier defensive pressure than Barcelona, Southampton, or even Arsenal's midfielder.
In this case, the weakness of single defensive midfielder Xavi Alonso will be exposed.
Therefore, comparing these teams, it is not difficult to find that although Real Madrid's offense is extremely sharp, its defense is quite weak.
Once it encounters a team with super defensive ability and excellent counterattack ability, Real Madrid will Madrid can only suffer.
For example, in the league, in this season's Madrid derby, Real Madrid suffered a double defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in two games, including a horrific 0-4 loss, which directly caused Real Madrid to lose face.
Ancelotti knows better than anyone else that in a world where more and more emphasis is placed on integrated defense, as long as the frontcourt is still stacked with a group of superstars who do not participate in defense, Real Madrid's defense cannot get better.
Therefore, if there is another head-to-head battle with Southampton, Ancelotti is not sure.
The first-leg battle between the two sides at the Santiago Bernabeu proved this very well.
"What should we do?
We must come up with a strategy as soon as possible," Paul Clement reminded.
As the chief assistant coach, he must formulate the team's starting tactics as soon as possible.
Should we continue to use the previous arrangement or make temporary adjustments and changes according to the situation?
This requires Ancelotti, as head coach, to make a decision as soon as possible.
Ancelotti is also in a dilemma.
No matter what decision he makes, he is not absolutely sure and can only rely on gambling.
But after all, he is Europe's leading coach, and he knows that he cannot mess up his position at this time, so his desire for stability in his bones led him to choose a conservative starting strategy.
"Paul, wait a minute in the locker room and tell all the players that except for the front three, all players will retreat.
We will leave the three in front to fight back and survive Southampton's wave of offensive first."
Just kidding, the Saints' opening three strikes are also famous in European football.
Ancelotti is also worried about being scored, so he must be careful.
Paul Clement thought about it and felt that this was a relatively safe strategy.
Although Real Madrid is a wealthy club, this is the St.
Mary's Stadium.
It is an away game and it is the second round of the crucial quarterfinals.
The strategy is a little more conservative.
As long as they can get good results, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away" After saying that, Paul Clement immediately turned around.
As Ancelotti's plan is finalized, he, as an assistant coach, has more things to do, because he has to adjust each player's game tasks and strategies when the situation changes.
I don’t know if I can figure it out in time before the players return to the locker room.
After Ancelotti watched his assistant leave, he turned around again and looked at the court, only to find that the Southampton players seemed to be finishing training. so fast Ancelotti looked at the time and saw that it was indeed a little earlier than usual.
This also strengthened his judgment.
Bielsa wants to attack:
