Chapter 411 Another Victory over a Strong Enemy
"Southampton is really strong! Playing against Lokomotiv Moscow is even easier than the Premier League."

"It can only be said that after having Ronaldo, the Southampton team began to let people see the temperament of a king."

"After consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, it can basically be said that there should be no problem in qualifying for the group stage."

"The performance of the Southampton team tells people everywhere. For them, there is no such thing as a rookie in the Champions League."

"Maybe this Southampton team is built to win titles, whatever the competition."

So easily won the Lokomotiv Moscow team, which gave the outside world a new understanding of the strength of the Southampton team.

And almost everyone began to think that the Champions League group stage was just a formality for Southampton.

Not only people outside think so, but also inside the Southampton team.It can be said that from the nervousness of the first game, they feel that they are no different from the domestic cup games.

Therefore, after winning the game, Southampton is not only very happy, but also has unprecedented confidence in the Champions League.

And they quickly returned to England under the leadership of Sun Yi.

Next, they will usher in an extremely important game.They have to prepare for this right away.

After returning to Southampton, Sun Yi immediately put the team into preparations.

In a few days, the Southampton team will usher in the eighth round of the Premier League, right to the powerful Chelsea team.

Although Chelsea's performance at the beginning of the season this season is not as eye-catching as Liverpool and Manchester City, the results are also very good.

Currently ranked behind Liverpool with an unbeaten record of seven games, five wins and two draws.And this is only because their goal difference is not as good as Liverpool.

Facing such a Chelsea team, Sun Yi cannot overemphasize it.

In the previous round of Premier League matches, Liverpool drew with Chelsea.Liverpool also fell behind Southampton in the score.

Sun Yi doesn't want Southampton to follow in Liverpool's footsteps.Otherwise, there is a danger of being thrown away by Manchester City.

"Victory. We can only have one goal for the next game and that is to win."

"Last round, everyone saw that. Liverpool were drawn. So they were two points behind us. Those two points allowed us to be ahead of them at the top of the table."

"And we absolutely cannot learn from them. We must win the next game."

Sun Yi kept motivating the players in training.And what he said was serious.The competition in the Premier League this season is too fierce.Every point counts.Even against Chelsea, he has to make sure he wins.

At the press conference held before the game, Sun Yi also said the same.

"There is nothing to say, we only need one result, and that is victory!"

"We also want to win! Every point is equally important to us. Because we are also a team with championship dreams." Similarly, Chelsea coach Sarri said in the pre-match press release A declaration of victory was also issued at the meeting.

In addition to the dream of wanting a championship, Chelsea actually have another reason to want to win, and that is to avenge Southampton.

Last season's Chelsea team suffered a big loss in the hands of the Southampton team in almost all of their matches.And their former coach Conte also lost his coaching position because of this.

Although the current coach is Sarri, last season's defeat has nothing to do with him.But these fiascos were all kept in mind by the Chelsea team.

At the same time, most of the players from last season are still in the Chelsea team.

So for Chelsea, meeting Southampton was really their chance for revenge.

"Revenge! We want revenge!"

"What we lost last season, this time we will get it back with our own hands!"

"We suffered a lot in several matches last season. However, it is different now. We have a new coach. The strength of the team is also growing day by day. This can be seen from the previous unbeaten record."

"This time, we will definitely beat Southampton!"

Chelsea fans are also full of confidence this time.With a new coach and such good results in the new season, they really feel that they can realize their desire for revenge.

Even if they can't beat Southampton, they feel that they can at least win dignity.At least you can take away points.

They were able to draw with Liverpool in the last game. Facing Southampton, which also drew with Liverpool before, they don't feel that they have any disadvantages.

Hearing Chelsea fans shouting for revenge, the Southampton fans were naturally not to be outdone.

"Want revenge? You are dreaming!"

"The current Southampton team has been stronger since last season. It could abuse you last season, and it can do the same this time."

"Come on, Chelsea, we'll let you go home crying."

"..."

And soon the fans of both sides became even more aggressive online.And the tearing became more and more serious, causing news that fans from both sides met to fight and were arrested by the police.

Seeing fans getting into the game because of fighting, Sun Yi not only went to the police station to visit those fans, but also advised them on the spot.

"Don't be like this in the future, everyone. It's not good if you get injured. I hope you are all well and can go to the field to watch us play football."

"The matter of the game will be solved on the court."

"Trust us. We can solve any opponent on the field."

"It's right for you to watch us clean them up from the stands."

Sun Yi's remarks immediately aroused great repercussions and favor among the fans.

However, this also made him completely unable to retreat in this game against Chelsea.Southampton must win.

With Sun Yi's words, the private dating between Southampton fans and Chelsea fans is gone.However, the online rivalry between the fans of both sides did not stop, but continued to tear apart.

In this way, the eighth round of the 2018-19 Premier League game is here amidst the fans of both sides not giving in to each other on the Internet.

Southampton vs Chelsea.

This is a focus battle no less than the previous one with Liverpool.

The location of the battle is at St. Mary's Stadium.

There is no doubt that Southampton have home advantage.And this is one of the reasons why Sun Yi is bound to win.

In his home stadium, St. Mary's Stadium, there is also a superstar like Ronaldo. If he still can't win Chelsea, what face does he have to face the fans?

If he can't win, why should he follow to compete for the Premier League title, or even the Champions League title?

If you want to be a champion, you have to show enough kingly temperament.At home, no matter who it is, they have to bow down and surrender.

If he wants to win and win against a strong opponent like Chelsea, of course Sun Yi is not just talking about it.

In this game, he sent the strongest lineup of the Southampton team.

Whether it is Ronaldo, Kaka, or the main players such as Balotelli, he has arranged for the starting game.

In terms of defenders, Sun Yi also let Van Dijk and Pavard all start.

Seeing Southampton's starting lineup, the fans were completely excited.

"Look, there are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Balotelli in the offense; Violent Bird in the midfield interception, and Van Dijk and Pavard in the defense."

"With all the main players playing like this, the Chelsea team is doomed this time."

Southampton's starting lineup represents victory and the confidence to win.So far, as long as this lineup is used, the Southampton team has won several subjects.

This not only makes the fans feel very confident, but even the players themselves feel confident.

"Southampton, must win!"

The Southampton team is really very confident about winning.The Chelsea team is also quite confident.

With Hazard, as well as the main members of the World Cup champion team such as William and Louis, the Chelsea team is really amazing.

In addition, they also have the French midfielder Kanter who even Sun Yi is red-eyed.In terms of strength, Chelsea is not much worse than Southampton.

Moreover, Chelsea's mentality in this game is also very good.

Although their coach Sarri said in the pre-match press conference that he wanted to win.But in fact, the idea of ​​preparing for the battle and arranging tactics is to ensure one point.

Therefore, in fact, Chelsea's game is as long as it can score points.A draw with them is perfectly acceptable.To be able to take away the points at St. Mary's Stadium is a victory for them.

"Come on, Chelsea!"

"We can definitely take what we want!"

Soon, the game started under the fanatical shouts of the fans on both sides.

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea gave Sun Yi a surprise.

Chelsea, which could have scored just one point, started a confrontation with Southampton from the very beginning.

"Have courage!"

Sun Yi couldn't help giving Chelsea's coach Sarri a thumbs up.

The team that dared to play against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium is too small.

"Attack! Attack! Let's entertain our guests."

Under Sun Yi's command, the Southampton team naturally responded to Chelsea with a more ferocious offensive.

After all, Southampton has home court advantage.Taking advantage of this advantage, their offense is naturally more sharp.

Soon, the Southampton team gained an advantage in the counter attack.Started to frequently create murderous intentions in Chelsea's penalty area.

It's just a pity that the goalkeeper Kepa, who Chelsea spent a lot of money to buy this season, is in a very brave state today.

Kepa himself has the strength of A+ level. Once this state is good, it will immediately cause Cristiano Ronaldo and other offensive players a headache.

Under its left and right blocks, none of the advantages Southampton had gained could be converted into goals.

"Hey. When can I have such a strong goalkeeper."

Looking at the opponent's goalkeeper, and then at his own goalkeeper, Sun Yi was full of envy.

And soon, his envy reached its peak.

Because when the game hit No. 11 minutes, Chelsea scored a goal.

Originally, the Chelsea team just got a not-so-good opportunity.

They used a pick pass to help Hazard get into the penalty area.But Van Dijk has followed Hazard for the first time.

As long as it is handled properly, it should be preventable.

But goalkeeper Foster hit Van Dijk during the attack.This not only blocked Van Dijk's defense against Hazard, but also allowed Hazard to get an empty goal.

Facing the empty door, Hazard easily accepted the gift with a smile.

Zero to one.Southampton fell behind at home.

"I copy!"

Sun Yi was so angry that he swears.

Any goalkeeper, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, cannot never make mistakes.Sun Yi can accept that the goalkeeper makes mistakes, but he doesn't want to see the goalkeeper make mistakes in such an important game.

Sun Yi really wanted to replace Foster.But he was shy, and couldn't come up with a better goalkeeper than Foster.

"Whoo~"

Take a deep breath.

After clearing up his emotions, Sun Yi shouted loudly: "Attack! They enter one, we enter two and come back!"

Being one goal behind won't actually hurt Southampton's morale.It's just that the goalkeeper's mistake made Sun Yi a little depressed.

Soon, the Southampton team launched a crazier counterattack at Sun Yi's call.

What made Sun Yi secretly happy was that Chelsea did not shrink back after taking the lead. ,

Instead, under the call of Sarri, he continued to attack Southampton.

"Continue to attack! Defeat them thoroughly!"

It seems that Sarri is ready to make persistent efforts and continue to attack Southampton.What I thought was to directly defeat the Southampton team.

Seeing this, Sun Yi smiled.

"Good attack!"

Sun Yi is not afraid of the opponent's attack, but he is afraid of the opponent's bus.That would be too difficult.

And not too much, Sarri began to regret that he didn't accept it as soon as he saw it.

Ronaldo scored for Southampton 10 minutes after Chelsea took the lead.

Ronaldo's goal equalized the score and also inspired the Southampton team.All the offensive desires of the Southampton team were inspired.

The previous lead did not allow the team to shrink back. This was equalized, and it is naturally even more impossible for Sarri to let Chelsea shrink back.

After that, Sarri was hit again.

Ronaldo's goal opened up Southampton's offensive frenzy.Wave after wave of their attacks.When the game passed 10 minutes, they scored again.

This time it was taken by Kaka.He once again performed his famous stunt card-style sprint.

Kaka's goal not only allowed Southampton to return to the locker room with a lead.It also made Chelsea have to press heavily in the second half and launch a more crazy attack.

And Sun Yi also used his tricks, but after the start of the second half, he let the Southampton team switch to defensive and counterattack tactics.

Such tactical adjustments have significantly strengthened Southampton's defense.This made Chelsea's frantic offense come to nothing after the start of the second half.

The Southampton team also took advantage of Chelsea's massive pressure on the many loopholes in the defense to play several waves of "Mu's counterattack".and caught one of them.A goal was scored by Pulisic, who has a strong assault ability.

This made the score three to one.

As soon as such a score appeared, it was completely announced that the game had been decided.
