Sometimes, things are just so weird.
From Paris, France to Monaco, one day apart, the weather is completely different.
In Paris, it was a sunny day, and Yang Huan could leisurely stroll through the streets of Paris, admiring the beauty of this fashionable city and tasting the romantic French style.
But when we arrived in Monaco, it was dark clouds and heavy rain.
Encountering such terrible weather, Yang Huan was too lazy to go out.
He simply hid in the hotel, played games, chatted on WeChat, and chatted for a while with UEFA President Platini, who came to supervise the war.
Southampton's Glory Stadium has already passed the five-star stadium assessment, and after Platini's operation, there is basically no big problem in applying to host the UEFA Champions League final.
There are still two years to go, and the pressure on Southampton is still quite high.
For this matter, Yang Huan had a special talk with the Duke of Westminster and Prime Minister Hamad, and they all decided to speed up the progress of the project and complete the reconstruction of Southampton's old city before the Champions League final.
Southampton Mayor Terry Matthews also regarded this feast as a glorious event in his political career, even paying more attention to it than Yang Huan himself.
After staying in the hotel all day, in the evening, the rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.
This made Master Huan feel better.
The rain battle is quite a disadvantage for Southampton.
At 19:45 in the evening, the European Super Cup officially whistled.
Perhaps because the opponent is Sevilla, almost most of the people who come to the Louis II Stadium are fans of the Saints.
The support for the Saints is the highest, making the entire Louis II Stadium look more like South Africa.
The home ground of Ampton.
In this game, Bielsa still used a four-three-three strategy.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Luke Shaw, Nastasic, Varane and Chambers, the midfielder is still Pogba, Matic and Oscar, and the frontcourt trident is Ravelmo Leeson, Suarez and Sturridge.
Compared with the Community Shield three days ago, the lineup has been greatly adjusted.
A very important reason for this is that after Southampton plays the Super Cup, they will immediately return to the UK to prepare for the first round of the Premier League, and the first game will be an away game against Liverpool.
Sevilla has no such worries.
La Liga started late, so they sent all their main players to play in this game.
However, Emery's team lost Rakitic, Moreno and Bo The overall strength of players such as Dia and Perotti has also been greatly affected.
Therefore, many fans are not optimistic about Sevilla in this battle.
Facts have proved that Sevilla is still inferior to Southampton in terms of overall strength.
From the beginning of the game, the Saints firmly controlled the situation on the field.
When the game reached the tenth minute, Oscar received a pass from Matic in the middle, turned around and got rid of the defensive player, passed the ball over the top, and dropped the ball into the penalty area.
Sturridge crossed into the penalty area from the right rib, jumped high in front of the attacking goalkeeper Beto, and hit the ball.
The ball rubbed against Sturridge's head, then curved and hit the goal, one to zero.
After scoring the goal, the Saints' morale was greatly boosted and they played more boldly and gorgeously.
Sevilla lost power in the midfield and backcourt and had to retreat to their own penalty area to temporarily avoid the edge.
But even so, in the 34th minute, Southampton once again relied on Matic's long pass in the midfield to accurately find Ravel Morrison, who broke through Seve one-on-one.
Leah's right back made a low pass to the goal.
Suarez rushed over and hit the ball with a push, scoring again, 2-0.
What is even more unexpected is that before the end of the first half, Sevilla made another mistake.
Center defender Fabio committed a foul at the front of the penalty area.
Suarez personally took the free kick and hit it, 3-0.
The first half ended with a score of three to zero, no one expected it.
Thinking back to the last Community Shield game, Arsenal scored four goals in the half.
Southampton's offensive power this season is absolutely amazing.
Perhaps seeing that the advantage of the game was established early, Bielsa replaced Suarez with Harry Kane at halftime, and formed the England trident with Sturridge and Ravel Morrison.
This immediately made the local Saints fans in England cheer loudly.
They have long heard that the Saints have signed several local young players this summer, and one of them is Harry Kane who has entered the first team.
The 21-year-old youngster obviously didn't have any stage fright.

At the beginning of the second half, he fired a left-footed shot from a full 25 meters away from the goal, which surprised Beto.
It's a pity that it's too high But despite this, he still won the applause of all the Saints fans.
Subsequently, the native England player performed very actively, actively participating in counterattacks in the frontcourt, and pressing Sevilla's central defender.
Although he was tall, his body movements were not clumsy at all.
Finally, in the 53rd minute, after receiving Pogba's pass from the left, Ravel Morrison used his excellent personal skills to break through Sevilla's right back one-on-one and passed forward from the baseline. middle.
Harry Kane, who was standing in front of the goal, overcame Sevilla defender Fabio and headed the goal, scoring his first official goal after joining the Saints.
This is also the fourth goal in the game The Saints' outstanding performance surprised everyone.
You know, the Saints didn't try their best in this game.
They just arranged some rotations and substitute players to start.
However, they still showed such amazing combat effectiveness.
How can this not be surprising?
Of course, Sevilla's problems are more serious, especially the loss of power in the midfield and the loopholes in the defense, which were exposed by Southampton's fierce offensive wave.
At the 71st minute of the second half, Oscar made another diagonal pass from the center to Sturridge on the wing.
The latter passed into the penalty area.
Harry Kane stopped the ball before the defensive player, then turned around with a flexible dribble and passed the ball to the back point.
Midfielder Pogba quickly stepped in, met the ball a little, and broke Beto's goal again, 5-0.
After leading 5-0, Bielsa continued to make substitutions and Southampton relaxed.
Sevilla took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Forward Bacca scored an embarrassing goal for Sevilla in the 86th minute.
In the end, Southampton defeated Sevilla 5-1.
Asia, won the European Super Cup in the new season.
After the game, Neuer, as captain, lifted the European Super Cup championship trophy for Southampton.
This is also the Saints' fourth championship trophy in the past year, following the Premier League Champions Trophy, Champions League Champions Trophy and Community Shield, setting a record of four championships in the season.
It is really a bumper harvest.
After the game, the European mainstream media also gave unanimous praise and affirmation to Southampton's performance.
Even the Spanish newspaper AS reported this game and had to admit that Sevilla's strength was not at the same level as Southampton.
"Although Bielsa rotated this game, Southampton's strength is still surprising."
"In this game, the midfield composed of Matic, Pogba and Oscar helped the Saints firmly control the initiative of the game.
Although Matic's contribution on the offensive end is not as good as Toni Kroos, but He was very solid defensively, which was very impressive.”
"On the defensive line, the combination of Varane and Nastasic, except for Bacca's goal, has almost no flaws, which makes people feel reassured about the Saints' defense in the new season."
"In this summer's transfer market, there are many teams pursuing Matic, Ravel Morrison and Sturridge.
Even now, Manchester United is still chasing these players, but Southampton has renewed contracts with them one after another and retained the players.”
"It is not difficult to see from this game that the Saints' move has far-reaching implications.
They need to ensure the thickness of the team's lineup while fighting on multiple fronts in the new season, and Matic, Ravel Morrison and Sturridge are both capable of competing for the main position and can form healthy competition with players such as Hazard, Toni Kroos and Sanchez.”
“Three days ago, we beat Arsenal 4-0 at Wembley Stadium.
Three days later, we beat Sevilla 5-1 at Stade Louis II in Monaco.
In two games, we scored nine goals and conceded one.
The strength is still surprising.”
"We have absolutely reason to believe that Southampton is still the strongest contender for the Premier League and UEFA Champions League in the new season."
While the Spanish media generally praised the Southampton team, the British media not only praised the team's outstanding performance, but also praised Southampton's second half of the European Super Cup.
Ravel Morrison and Sturridge both played the entire game and performed quite well.
But the focus of the British media has generally focused on young player Harry Kane.
As early as when they joined Southampton, Harry Kane and Martial once attracted attention from the outside world.
Tall, with good foot skills, and playing as a center forward, Harry Kane can easily be reminded of Ibrahimovic.
In fact, the Saints did not say anything, and the British media directly dubbed him Ibrahimovic.

Brahimovich II title.
There was no chance to play in the Community Shield, and the British media were a little disappointed.
But this time, it was in the European Super Cup, and he made his debut with one pass and one shot.
This performance simply blinded the reporters.
Even after the game, many media called Harry Kane the main center forward for England in the next ten years.
Together with Ravel Morrison and Sturridge, he will take on the responsibility of attacking for the England national team. of burden.
And when Southampton star Alan Shearer commented on Harry Kane in Match of the Day, he just said, "He is very similar to me when I was young."
As a result, the media made a big deal about it and directly named Harry Kane.
After winning the title of Alan Shearer II, he simply wished he could be promoted to a superstar position.
Regarding this wave of praise from the outside world, everyone in Southampton seemed very sensible.
When Harry Kane was interviewed by reporters accompanied by the club's press officer, he said that he was not ready yet.
There was still a lot to learn and improve, and he was not thinking too much about it now.
In interviews with the media, head coach Bielsa has repeatedly stated that Harry Kane is not ready yet and does not have the ability to play the main role for the first team for the time being, and he needs to continue to improve.
For the sake of protecting the players, the Saints originally planned to include Harry Kane in the squad for the first round of the league against Liverpool.
As a result, after consultation with the coaching staff, Bielsa talked with Harry Kane for a while, and finally Leave him off the roster.
While running back and forth from Southampton and fighting on multiple fronts, Rogers' Liverpool was fully equipped, waiting to work, sitting at Anfield Stadium, waiting for the arrival of the Saints.
On the day of the game, Gao Ren and Wang Lei finally completed the procedures for traveling to the UK and arrived at Heathrow Airport by plane.
However, they did not go south to Southampton.
Instead, accompanied by their agent, they went north to Liverpool
