It turns out that the game did become more open after Southampton took the lead.
Pellegrini's team looked for an equalizer and a goal, but the Saints were firmly in control and refused to let up.
After a few rounds of back-and-forth between the two sides, the Saints scored again before the end of the first half.
After Harry Kane retreated to get the ball, he passed it back to Sturridge.
After getting the ball, the latter quickly went straight into the penalty area, but had no chance and could only knock back to the edge of the penalty area.
Oscar caught up with the ball, passed Yaya Toure who hurriedly returned to defend, and curled the ball straight into the upper left corner of the goal.
Two to zero This score also basically sentenced Manchester City to death.
In the second half, the side changed sides and the game resumed.
Although Manchester City intended to strengthen their attack, they were afraid of being counterattacked by the Saints and never dared to press forward.
On the other hand, the Saints, although they are all substitutes and second-team players, appear to be at ease on the court.
This is quite difficult "Southampton today reminds me of Manchester United at the beginning of the century."
Prince William's sudden words deeply impressed Yang Huan.
"At that time, Manchester United won the treble and was invincible and domineering in the Premier League.
The team also had world-class stars such as Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham and Ruud Ruud.
The team The overall strength is also second to none in the European arena.”
At that time, Manchester United, in addition to the hidden dangers caused by Ferguson's sale of Stam on the defense line, basically in the midfield and frontcourt, Manchester United was even comparable to teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
"In those years, what I felt most deeply from Manchester United was a strong domineering spirit, which was built up after years of accumulation, allowing them to dare to face challenges directly no matter what opponent they faced. " Yang Huan nodded repeatedly.
Manchester United's Red Devils temperament was indeed established over the years.
Very tenacious and domineering, the typical representative is Roy Keane.
Even a young student like Beckham, it turns out, is not just an idol, but a powerful one.
At least Yang Huan has never seen an idol group who ran 16 kilometers in a race and ran to vomit.
If you carefully analyze Manchester United's Triple Crown that year, it is not difficult to find that it is definitely the best embodiment of this dominance.
In addition to the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, there are also wonderful reversal dramas against Juventus, FA Cup games, and the Premier League.
If you say that Manchester United does not have super mental strength, how can it be possible?
"Today's Southampton is a bit like Manchester United at that time.
They have superior strength, but their temperament is completely different."
When he said this, Prince William smiled slightly, "If you really want to say it, the Saints during Bielsa's time are really a bit like Manchester United, but Ancelotti has injected rationality into the team in the past six months or so.
Watching the Saints play football now is a kind of enjoyment, it’s like appreciating an art.”
The Chinese have a saying, if it is too strong, it will easily break.
To use a saying from the movie Fengyun, if everything goes too far, fate will inevitably end early.
Bielsa's football is passionate and exciting, there is no doubt about it, but it is too fierce.
Ancelotti is an easy-going person and has a bit of Italian literary style in his football philosophy.
His arrival has injected a bit of reason and calmness into Southampton's football.
In Yang Huan's view, if the saints during Bielsa's time were teenagers and young men, then the saints during Ancelotti's time were mature men.
It's hard to say who is better.
Ancelotti remains undefeated so far, which is indeed outstanding, but it cannot be separated from the foundation laid by Bielsa during his period.
Moreover, Bielsa's passion represents forge ahead and continuous innovation.
Lottie's maturity represents stability.
In the past, Bielsa's concept was easy to use when it came to conquering the country, but now, the players in the team have matured.
Whether it is Hazard, Suarez, Toni Kroos, or other players in the team, they have all matured.
The team has already conquered a large territory, and it will be difficult to break through in the short term.
Therefore, at this time, Ancelotti is more useful than Bielsa.
If there were no Guardiola, Yang Huan would definitely continue to let Ancelotti coach him.
At least in the next four or five years, he would not easily change coaches because he believes that Ancelotti has the ability to keep the team at the top of Europe. ranks.
But now that Guardiola is here, the situation is very different.

But it's okay.
With such excellent coaching results in Southampton this season, Ancelotti's next stop should be a top club.
No, as soon as Master Huan's thoughts crossed his mind, Mubarak over there changed seats with someone else and came closer.
"Master Huan, I have something to ask you."
"What's up" "Does Ancelotti's contract with the Saints last until the end of the season?"
Mubarak asked with a concerned look.
When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately understood that this guy was poaching.
Manchester City's results this season are indeed not ideal.
Pellegrini has been coaching for many years, and the team has been patient enough to give to whoever asks for it, but the results have never improved.
This is really depressing.
In the first round of the last 16 knockout rounds of the Champions League, Manchester City lost 1-2 at home to Guardiola's Bayern Munich.
Although the Bundesliga class leader lost Lewandowski and the performance of both wings was sluggish, they still relied on With strong overall control, they still safely defeated Manchester City in the away game.
Manchester City, which had a strong army, lost at home to Bayern Munich, which was short of major generals.
One can imagine Pellegrini's embarrassment.
"Aren't you staring at Guardiola?"
Yang Huanxi asked cheerfully.
Prince William couldn't help but smile when Guardiola was mentioned.
Mubarak also looked depressed and waved his hand, "Master Huan, please stop teasing me."
In the past period of time, Guardiola has indeed been the favorite for many Premier League teams to choose a coach.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have all set their sights on the Spanish coach.
There are even rumors that Abramovich will come in person.
Visited Munich.
For two to three months, there were almost widespread rumors throughout Europe that Guardiola was going to coach in the Premier League.
Bayern Munich officials also stated that the team's contract with Guardiola will end in the summer and the coaching selection process will begin.
For a time, the whole of Europe was buzzing with rumors about who Guardiola would end up with.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United were all favorites, but in the end, no one was the favorite.
This is the revelation from Charlene Lahiri, a columnist of the Southern Echo, that the team Guardiola really wants to coach is not these teams, but Southampton.
Charlene Lahiri even broke the news that Guardiola had played a role in the Saints' introduction of Messi.
In this way, the truth will be revealed.
The Saints don't admit it, but they don't deny it either, and neither does Guardiola.
Therefore, the Premier League giants began to change their goals one after another.
Manchester United was eyeing Mourinho, who was dismissed from Chelsea, but it is said that this news made Giggs and Ferguson behind him very dissatisfied, believing that Mourinho could not lead Manchester United back to the top.
Chelsea was on the verge of crying, and Abramovich wanted to die.
However, the Blues' selection of coaches has hit a wall everywhere.
They have been rejected by Simeone, Klopp, Ronald Koeman and other European famous coaches.
They are currently eyeing Conte, the head coach of the Italian national team, and Juventus.
Coach Allegri.
Only Manchester City, it is not easy to choose a suitable head coach.
"I'm really determined to go under the knife," Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Manchester City's current problems are actually not big at all, but they are not small at all.
In the past few years, this team has always given people a feeling of being neither up nor down.
If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that in the final analysis, it lies with the midfielder of this team, that is, Yaya Toure.
There is no doubt that Yaya Toure is the thigh of this team, but it is obvious that this thigh is not thick enough.
When Manchester City was first formed, Yaya Toure was undoubtedly the most important member.
However, after world-class stars such as Sergio Aguero, David Silva and De Bruyne joined one by one, Yaya Toure The problem was exposed.

It's not that the Ivory Coast midfielder is not strong, but his characteristics prevent him from leading Manchester City to achieve a breakthrough in strength.
On the contrary, Manchester City's biggest problem now is Yaya Toure.
Why has Yaya Toure been so troubled in the past few years?
Because he knows that the team wants to move him, but due to performance, they dare not move him easily.
The tragedy of Manchester City is that they have never made up their mind and failed to introduce a midfielder capable of replacing Yaya Toure.
Nowadays, as Ivorians get older and their physical fitness gradually declines, this problem has become particularly obvious.
If it was Yaya Toure who led Manchester City in the first two years after joining, then in the following years, it was Manchester City who dragged Yaya Toure along.
Whether it is the introduction of Fernandinho or Fernando, there is only one purpose, to solve the problem of Yaya Toure.
But obviously, it was not resolved in the end.
Mubarak shook his head and sighed, "Yaya Toure has finished playing this season and is already 33 years old.
With the current situation of this season, it is a good time for the team to reorganize."
Yang Huan nodded.
If he starts now, the fans' reaction will be relatively smaller.
"Then keep it for me."
Yang Huan said with a slight smile.
Mubarak was stunned, "Master Huan is interested in Yaya Toure" "No, my compatriots will be very interested."
Yang Huan explained with a smile.
The characteristics of Yaya Toure are not in line with Yang Huan's preferences.
Even Guardiola, Bielsa, or Pochettino probably would not want to use Yaya Toure to build a team.
He is different from Ibrahimovic.
Although they are both players who need the team to organize tactics around him, Ibrahimovic is the center and Yaya Toure is crucial.
Midfield.
And Ibrahimovic's overall strength is obviously much higher than Yaya Toure.
However, the Chinese Super League team should not refuse Yaya Toure.
As for whether it will strengthen its competitors, Yang Huan has no worries about this.
He believes that the most important thing now is to make the Chinese Super League bigger and stronger first.
This does not only require one or two strong teams such as Jingcheng Guoen or Yangcheng Hengda, but also requires the entire Chinese Super League team.
The strength is strengthened.
Only in this way can the prosperity of the entire league be promoted.
In this way, the strength of Jingcheng Guoen makes sense, right?
If the Chinese Super League is still the former Chinese Super League, no matter how strong the capital Guoen is, is it interesting?
This is why Yang Huan has been helping Chinese Super League teams contact big-name agents such as Mendes, Mino Raiola, Pinizahavi, and Joorabchian in the past few years.
This is true for the Chinese Super League and the same for the Premier League.
Manchester United signed Mourinho and wanted to fight against the Saints and Guardiola.
Yang Huan must be in favor of it with both hands and feet.
The reason is very simple.
Only when there is confrontation can there be prosperity and interest.
This is what fans today like to watch.
Just like this season, with the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, fans all over the world are paying attention to the Premier League and watching how these two superstars compete.
But in the end, no one expected that after tearing it apart, Suarez, the top scorer, was revealed.
Nowadays, Uruguayan stars are extremely popular, and even stars such as Hazard and Pogba in the Saints are also rapidly becoming popular.
Coupled with Messi, Southampton has become the most popular and most watched team in Europe at the moment.
On the other hand, Barcelona and Real Madrid have lost their top stars, and their momentum is slightly less than before.
Now Manchester United, Manchester City and other teams are eyeing Gareth Bale and Neymar.
If they lose both stars, the momentum of the Spanish Super League duo will definitely be greatly affected.

There is no way, with the implementation of the new broadcast contract, the Premier League teams are really too wealthy:
