Chapter 492 The UEFA Champions League Semifinals Are Here

"It's over. The 18/19 Premier League season is over!"

After the match between Southampton and Liverpool, many media said so.

Like Guardiola, they all think that the next two rounds of games are unnecessary.

And almost everyone in the Southampton team thinks so.

"Haha, the Premier League title is ours again."

"Two more rounds and we can be treble winners again!"

As soon as the No.30 six rounds of the Premier League ended, the joy of winning the championship enveloped the hearts of all Southampton players.

Even Sun Yi thinks so.Therefore, after winning the game, he happily announced the next day off, so that everyone can relax and enjoy a good time.

The players were given a holiday, but Sun Yi himself did not have a holiday.

After he was happy all night, he continued to work with a serious expression the next day.

The most difficult Premier League game has passed, and next, he will usher in the latest challenge.

Southampton will usher in the semi-finals of the Champions League.The opponent is one of the most terrifying super giants in today's football, the Barcelona team.

Although in recent years, the Barcelona team has not been so strong in the Champions League.But looking at their crushing lead in La Liga, you can know how strong they are.

After playing Liverpool, Southampton won the initiative to win the championship.But the Barcelona team has really won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

Such a Barcelona team will be an extremely huge challenge.

Sun Yi needs to do his best to prepare.

In Sun Yi's view, these opponents in the Champions League are more difficult to deal with than Liverpool and Manchester City.

Because they are not as familiar as the Premier League opponents, Sun Yi does not have enough time to understand each opponent.The uncertainty is simply too great.

"This is a hurdle to the Champions League final, I will definitely get over it!"

In order to achieve this goal, while the rest of the team was on vacation, Sun Yi was desperately studying the Barcelona team.And mainly to study Barcelona's head coach Ernesto Valverde.

In the recent battles, Sun Yi discovered that it is more important to study the characteristics and personality of the opponent's coach.

He can use the system to learn more about the opponent's players, and he can also get a general idea of ​​the opponent's basic tactics through the battle simulation.

But the game is dynamic, and tactics are not static.There are often many variables in the game, and Sun Yi needs to constantly fight with the opponent's coach.

Of course, it is necessary to conduct battle simulations based on familiar scout reports.And it takes a lot to do.

So, when the holiday was over and the team resumed their routine, Sun Yi was ridiculed by Dior.

"Sun, what's the matter with you? Look at your bags under your eyes, your dark circles, and your vain footsteps. Where did you fool around yesterday?"

"Really? Am I so weak now?"

Dio nodded.

"Nimma, it seems that I really need to be restrained in the future."

"Yes. You, forget it, I think you can't help it. After all, women are not around, and your age is indeed more demanding. However, I still want to advise you to try to be restrained. And be careful not to be caught by others. I found out. If the little girl Juanjuan finds out, I guarantee that your wedding will not be held." Dio said with a face of understanding.

"What are you talking about? I was studying the next game against Barcelona last night." Sun Yi rolled his eyes.He did study late, especially after conducting many battle simulations.This consumes a lot of money on the body.

"Oh. It turned out to be like this. The next opponent is the Barcelona team. It is really difficult. Sun, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you break yourself down, that is the biggest trouble." Dio's expression also became serious stand up.

"Yes. I know." Sun Yi nodded.

Later, Sun Yi brought the coaching staff to the training ground.

After calling the players over, seeing that everyone looked very relaxed, and some people were still talking about what fun things they did yesterday, Sun Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that everyone had a good rest yesterday."

"Yes." "I did it yesterday... I had a great time." Many players replied with a smile.

"Well. Very good. Seeing that everyone is resting well. I am very satisfied." Sun Yi nodded, then put away his smile and said, "Now, I need everyone to be serious."

When the players heard this, they immediately put away their smiling faces.

"Other things, let's put them aside for now. From now on, we will all focus on preparing for the battle. Everyone should know who our next opponent is?"

"Barcelona!" Ronaldo said solemnly.

"Yes, it is the Barcelona team. This will be an extremely powerful opponent for our next Champions League throne."

"I don't need to say much about the previous record of the Barcelona team. I believe everyone knows a little bit. What I want to tell you is that the Barcelona team has already won the championship in advance, and they can compete with us without any concern. Therefore, we must Give [-]% to deal with them."

Sun Yi no longer needs to encourage morale.The morale of the Southampton team is very high at present.What he needs to do is to get the whole team fully engaged in preparations.

After using words to let the team put down other things and devote themselves to training and preparing for the game, Sun Yi also asked the players to work together for the next battle.

And Southampton has Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who has competed with Barcelona for nearly ten years, which will undoubtedly improve Sun Yi's understanding of Barcelona.And Ronaldo also provided some methods to deal with Barcelona under Sun Yi's inquiry.

Especially for some methods of restricting Messi.This provided Sun Yi with a lot of help when formulating tactical strategies.

In the following days, Sun Yi led the Southampton team to prepare nervously.And he also chose to conduct closed training.

Time flies, and in the training and preparations, the day of the game is quickly approaching.

The Barcelona team also quietly came to Southampton.

Their arrival immediately made the atmosphere in Southampton tense.

In order to increase the winning percentage of the Southampton team, someone suggested that some bad moves could be used to affect the Barcelona team's preparations, but Sun Yi rejected it.

The Barcelona team did put a lot of pressure on Sun Yi, but he was only willing to win with dignity.

And the day before the game was about to start, a mysterious bald figure quietly entered the hotel where they were staying.

That night, there were rumors that Guardiola was seen in the hotel where the Barcelona team was staying.But no one believed the news.
