Chapter 568 Fighting Barcelona Again

An early Premier League title has restored the morale of the Southampton team.

Next, they can fully prepare for the game against Barcelona wholeheartedly.

Southampton have another Premier League game ahead of their rematch with Barcelona.

Only in the case of winning the championship in advance, this game against Southampton is for the players in the team to enjoy the game.

So, next, Sun Yi took the Southampton team to the Dean Court Stadium to enjoy the glory of being welcomed by the Bournemouth team.

Sun Yi asked several major core players to go up to enjoy this glory.

However, after only halftime, he replaced several core players such as Ronaldo and Van Dijk.

Then sent young players up to experience the game.

Winning or losing this game is meaningless, and Sun Yi doesn't care much about it.As long as the main players don't get injured and don't suffer too much consumption, it's OK.

After enjoying a game.Sun Yi returned to Southampton with the Southampton team.

Next, is the rematch with the Barcelona team.

With a pure warm-up match against Bournemouth, Southampton will be in better shape to meet the game.

At home, Sun Yi is still very confident.He believes that his own players will never be like they were at Camp Nou.

In his opinion, the second battle was almost on the Southampton team's side at the right time and place.If he can't win, he will have no face to stay.

Moreover, Barcelona's situation is not as favorable as that of Southampton.

Southampton is almost invincible in the Premier League.But Barcelona can't do it in La Liga. They also have opponents like Real Madrid who have also become much stronger this season.

Southampton won the league championship ahead of schedule, but although Barcelona had just won a big victory in La Liga, they did not get rid of Real Madrid.

The championship of La Liga has to wait for them to finish this game before going back to compete with Real Madrid.

Coupled with the 1:1 score at Camp Nou in the last round, they actually suffered a dark loss.Therefore, Barcelona's promotion situation is still not as good as that of Southampton.

But the Barcelona team is still full of confidence in coming to St. Mary's Stadium.

"Although it is a pity that we failed to win at Camp Nou, we are confident that we will win at St. Mary's Stadium."

"Last year we got knocked out at home by Southampton. This time here at St Mary's we're going to take it back."

"With our strength, we can definitely do it."

"Southampton, wait, this time we will definitely beat you!"

Before the game, both the coach and the players of the Barcelona team vowed to make a declaration of victory.

Apart from the fact that they really have confidence and morale, they are actually deliberately not giving themselves a way out.

In their words, in this battle, success or benevolence.As long as they win, they only need to successfully advance to the final.

With such determination, the Barcelona team came to the St. Mary's Stadium arrogantly.

The importance and attention of this battle needless to say.It is normal for the eyes of the whole world to focus on this place.

Outside, many people who are not Southampton fans are more supportive of Barcelona.

"Barcelona is the team with the most heritage and the greatest tradition. They deserve to be in the final."

"Especially in the case that the other place in the final is very likely to be Real Madrid, it should be the Barcelona team that enters the final."

"La Liga duo, two of the world's best teams meeting in the final is the best event in world football."

Well, in terms of background and influence, the Southampton team really can't compare with the Barcelona team in the world.

It is not uncommon for many people from the outside world to stand on the side of the Barcelona team.

In this regard, Sun Yi didn't feel anything.

As long as the Barcelona team enters the final, the outside world will naturally not mention these words again.

Soon, the much-anticipated game was held at St. Mary's Stadium.

In this game, both sides once again sent their best and strongest lineups.

Due to the advantage of away goals, Sun Yi was still thinking about whether to get off the bus.

However, he dropped the idea when he saw that the players had recovered from the Camp Nou battle after winning the title and two games later.

In fact, Sun Yi's idea of ​​setting up a bus is quite right.

Because at the beginning of the game, Barcelona launched a full-court press against Southampton.

It is an anti-customer-oriented and aggressive posture.

Fortunately, as Sun Yi saw, the Southampton team is in good shape.With the blessing of the home court, they were not intimidated by the full-court press that the Barcelona team offered as soon as they came up.

Although he did receive a lot of pressure, he still played very steadily.

It is stable when defending, and it is also very stable and calm when attacking.

This kind of performance made the comparison between Southampton and Camp Nou almost like changing a team.

The Southampton team has such a performance, which naturally prevents Barcelona's intentions from succeeding.

This made the field show an evenly matched situation.

For a while, it was really hard to see who was more likely to break the deadlock first, or even win the final victory.

The confrontation between the two sides was fierce, and the pace of the game was also very fast.This makes the confrontation between the two sides very exciting.

Every fan who watched the game almost forgot to breathe.

The only regret is that the two sides attacked fiercely and opportunities appeared from time to time, but they have not been able to score goals.

No goals were scored until the end of the first half.

For such a result.Although it is at home, it seems not ideal enough.But Sun Yi wasn't nervous at all, nor was he in a hurry.

"patience!"

This is Sun Yi's purpose for this game.

Southampton has an away goal, so they can naturally be patient.

But the Barcelona team can't be patient.

After the start of the second half, the Barcelona team not only made substitutions, but also attacked with all their strength.

But Sun Yi took this into consideration, and at the beginning of the second half, he made the Southampton team give up the counterattack and played a defensive counterattack instead.

In this way, not only increased the defensive strength but also made the Barcelona team more and more anxious.

As the mentality of the Barcelona team became impatient, their defensive loopholes began to increase.

And that was caught by Southampton.After playing a successful 'Mu-style counterattack', Ronaldo blasted away the Barcelona team.

1:0.Coupled with the advantage of away goals, this time, the Barcelona team is even more anxious.

They had to score two more goals to come back from defeat.

But it is impossible for Southampton to give Barcelona a chance.

After insisting on the defensive counterattack for 10 minutes, seeing the physical decline of the Barcelona team, the offensive had to slow down, and Sun Yi waved his hand to let the Southampton team let go of their hands and feet to attack.

I thought this would be an opportunity for Barcelona.

But later, Southampton took advantage of a free kick and Golovin scored another goal.

This directly announced the end of the game in advance.
