Chapter 484 Decisive Battle at Saint Mary

Southampton walked away from the Emirates Stadium with three points and Arsenal's fourth-place hopes.

After this battle, there are only three games left in the Premier League schedule.Arsenal never had the chance to meet the opponents in front of them.

No longer encountering a strong team is good news for ordinary teams, but not for Arsenal.Due to the points, their chances of qualifying for the European War will be very slim.Those competitors will not give them this opportunity.

These things are Arsenal's business.Southampton won't care at all.

After a small celebration of crossing another strong hurdle, Sun Yi immediately led the Southampton team back the next day.

After returning to Southampton safely, Sun Yi turned into nervous preparations without stopping.

The decisive battle is coming.

Next, Southampton will usher in the most critical opponent of the season-Liverpool at home.

So far this season, Liverpool is Southampton's biggest and last opponent.

In terms of points, Southampton is still one point behind Liverpool.Can only come second.

In terms of goal difference, Southampton has one more.

Judging from the win-loss ratio, Liverpool is the only opponent that Southampton has not won so far this season.

However, the last draw was at home to Liverpool.

From the above two aspects, Liverpool deserves to be Southampton's most difficult opponent at present.

It was the last hurdle that Southampton had to cross.

"The final decisive battle is here! This season, we passed five levels and defeated six generals, and finally ushered in the final big boss."

"Defeat it, and we will reap the richest rewards!"

"The next battle will be our most important battle. We must defeat them, and we will definitely defeat them!"

"But it's not easy. It requires us to put in [-] percent of our efforts from now on."

As soon as he entered the preparation training, Sun Yi immediately did ideological work for the players.

In fact, everyone knows how important this game is.Even knowing that Southampton has a slight advantage.

This battle was held at St. Mary's Stadium, which is Southampton's biggest advantage.

The last match was at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.It was a draw that time.Returning to St. Mary's Stadium this time, Southampton's chances of winning are naturally higher.

Sun Yi only hopes that everyone in the Southampton team can go all out for this game.Don't be blindly arrogant because of the previous victories.

In terms of players, Sun Yi has done all the work.

And in order to add some chips to this game, he opened the "Turntable of Destiny".

"Wheel of Fortune" can be opened every once in a while.

Although every opening is not necessarily a good thing, once it turns to favorable conditions, it will bring great help to the Southampton team's victory.

This time, Sun Yi hopes to have a better result.

Just waiting for the needle to stop, and after the result came out, Sun Yi had one thing in mind:
I copy!

"Nimma, it's better not to have one."

The result of "Turntable" gave Sun Yi a bad omen.It gave him an ominous premonition.

Unexpectedly, there was really bad news. The day before the game came, Casillas hit the goal post with his hand and was injured when he was making a save during training.

Looking at Casillas' swollen right hand, Sun Yi couldn't help covering his forehead.

Although Casillas was not seriously injured like a fracture, he had to play every day, so he obviously couldn't play.

Fortunately, the Southampton team also has the original main goalkeeper Foster.This situation is not too bad.

It is the occurrence of this kind of thing that inevitably makes the team feel a layer of haze in their hearts.

After the training the day before the game ended, Sun Yi did not go home, but was in the office thinking about tomorrow's game roster.

"Sun, it seems that there is still a substitute goalkeeper missing in this roster." Dior reminded after seeing Sun Yi's determined roster for the game.

"I know, but it doesn't make sense to have a substitute goalkeeper who is not strong enough. I am going to leave the spot to Adriano."

"Adriano?" Dio's eyes lit up.His face also became excited.

Adriano, Sun Yi will never send him out easily.But once he plays in a key game, it often means that a magical game is about to appear.

Thinking of Adriano's miraculous performance in the past, Dior couldn't help but smile.

"It turned out to be Adriano, that's fine. I have no objection."

"..." Sun Yi didn't expect Dior to have such confidence in Adriano, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

It's just that when he thought of the result of "Turntable", Sun Yi felt a little complicated.

"It may not be possible to give him a chance to play at that time."

"There is definitely a chance. As long as he can play, I am relieved. Now, I can rest assured to wait for the championship. Haha."

Dio happily left.

Sun Yi looked at the roster he had arranged for the competition.

"May all be well!"

The next day, the weather was fine, with a breeze and no rain, and the temperature was comfortable.It is the most suitable day for competition in spring.

"This is a good day to decide who is the Premier League champion!"

The game was held tonight, but since the morning, the outside world has been paying close attention to this game.

Far before the game time, the whole Southampton already had the atmosphere of the final.

Not only a large number of fans from all over the world came, but also countless media reporters were preparing for this game.

And the outside of St. Mary's Stadium was filled with fans who were ready to watch the game.

Countless fans wished the game could start sooner.

After a long wait, the sun finally set and evening finally arrived.

In the glowing sunset, Sun Yi and the Southampton team arrived at St. Mary's Stadium by bus.

After getting off the bus, the fans who had been waiting for a long time began to shout enthusiastically.

"Come on! Southampton."

"Got to win. We want champions."

"Sun, are you confident?"

This sentence was actually shouted in Chinese, Sun Yi couldn't help being a little surprised.Seeing that it was an old Southampton fan shouting, Sun Yi showed a confident smile and replied in Chinese: "Of course I have confidence."

"After today, Southampton will have one more championship trophy!"

After speaking, Sun Yi led the Southampton team into St. Mary's Stadium with his head held high.

Liverpool also came to the pitch behind Southampton.

After both sides entered the court, the players went to warm up before the game.

Sun Yi shook hands with Klopp on the sidelines.

"We meet again."

"Yes! Saint Mary, I'm here! I'm here with my team!"

Klopp smiled confidently.

Sun Yi also smiled heartily.

People who don't know may think that the two are very good friends.

In fact, Klopp should be regarded as Sun Yi's most difficult opponent in the Premier League.

Since last season, the two have been tit-for-tat opponents.Before every match, there will always be a chatter in the media.

But this time, the two rarely made any radical or provocative remarks before the game.

Sun Yi's idea is that instead of wasting time and saliva before the game, it is better to spend more thought and energy on preparing for the game.

After all, the game is to go to the field to decide the winner.

It doesn't make much sense to win by talking about it.

It is estimated that Klopp is probably the same this time.

The media, on the other hand, regretted that the two sides did not have any gunpowder before the game.

The two sides in the decisive battle have no words to talk about, which makes them less news that can be processed and created.

They were also trying to provoke, but unfortunately this time Sun Yi and Klopp both made up their minds and didn't say much.

The media also wanted to interview players in the past, trying to get some sparks out of them.It's a pity that Sun Yi has long asked the players not to say anything excessive in front of the media.

This leaves the media at a loss.They can only find out the grievances and hatreds between the two teams in the past and write the manuscript.

Without the sparks before the game, the media can only expect that the two teams will have a dazzling spark in the game.

Today's St. Mary's Stadium also ushered in the largest media group this season.

The media stage reserved exclusively for the media was packed with reporters and cameras from all over the world.Not even a place to stay.

"Look, Sun and Klopp are talking. Take a picture of them."

"Maybe, you can see something interesting from the shape of their mouths."

Under countless cameras with long guns and short guns, Sun Yi looked at Klopp indifferently.

What Klopp said just now made him very upset.

What I'm here, I'm here with my team.

This sounds like saying: Here I am, with my army to conquer you.

No matter how Sun Yi heard these words, he felt harsh.

However, the smile on Sun Yi's face did not diminish.

"Oh. I welcome you."

"I am Chinese, and we Chinese are the most hospitable. I have prepared a big meal for you. I hope you can enjoy it. I believe it will leave you with an extremely deep memory."

Klopp narrowed his eyes slightly.

What feast?The minimum spend is real.At the current St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton fans especially like to tell their opponents about the minimum consumption.Klopp has also heard about it.

"Is your big meal a three-pointer? If it is, then my team and I will definitely accept it."

"You think too much. The competition is not a dinner treat. Our big meal is actually very famous, it's called 'minimum consumption'."

"Minimum consumption? Haha. We are here today. We only prepare a big meal and eat it. Consumption, nothing!"

The two looked at each other, then turned and returned to their respective benches.

Today, many media have sent their own commentary team.The old partners Allardyce and Martin Taylor also came to the scene to explain the game again.

"Hey, Tyler, did you see that? Sun and Allardyce must have just had a verbal fight."

"Well, I saw it. Although I can't confirm what they said, but judging from the situation, the two must have had a confrontation without showing weakness."

"It can be seen from this that today's game will definitely be a fierce game."

"Yes. So, Allardyce, what do you think of the match?"

"I think this game will be a decisive battle to determine the title of this season. There is only one point difference between the two sides. Judging from the strength and record of both sides, once the game is concluded, it means that the season will be concluded ahead of schedule. "

"So, what do you think the outcome of this game will be?"

"I can't predict the final score. In this game, the strengths of the two sides are in place. It's hard to say who has a higher winning percentage."

"Southampton have home court advantage."

"It is true in this regard. But in this kind of game, I am afraid that the role it can play is very limited. The key still depends on the on-the-spot performance of the two sides. And the game between Sun and Klopp."

"I understand what you mean. You feel that the strengths of the two sides are equal. The final victory depends on which team God favors."

"Yes. But I have a feeling. I think Liverpool might have a little better luck this time around."

"You mean Casillas' injury yesterday, right?"

"Right. Iker Casillas has performed very well recently. He has squeezed out Foster and secured the main force. But he was injured at this time. This has a great impact on the Southampton team. Especially on the psychological level. "

"So, Allardyce, do you think this could be a deliberate smoke bomb from Southampton?"

"Probably not. This is because a reporter took a picture of Casillas' hand outside. Judging from that situation, he must not be able to play today."

"Oh. Come on, the two sides have got the rosters for today's game. Let's take a look at the playing situation of the two sides today. Hey, there is really no Casillas."

"Am I right?"

"Okay. Now let's take a look at the Southampton team's lineup today."

"C Ronaldo, Kaka, Balotelli...Goalkeeper Foster. The next step is the potential players. Hey, there is no backup goalkeeper? Allardyce, Southampton did not arrange a backup goalkeeper today."

"Well. I checked, and there is indeed no potential goalkeeper. However, I saw Adriano in the substitute list. I haven't seen him appear in the Southampton team's match list for a long time."

"Adriano?" Martin Taylor was immediately attracted by the name.

"Man, remember what happens every time Adriano's name comes up in a big game?"

"Oh! That's a miracle. Every time Adriano plays in a key game, he will bring an amazing performance like a miracle."

"Yeah. I seem to see him killing all directions again. The sight that God can't stop him blasting the ball into the goal is trembling!"

"I can't wait to see him play. Then see what he does!"

As Allardyce and Martin Taylor marveled, countless shots were aimed at Adriano.

Adriano was just a substitute today, but his attention surpassed that of Ronaldo at this moment.

Even Ronaldo is aware of this situation.

Nima, this buddy, won't you want to steal my limelight again today?
