"Barcelona lost!"

Guardiola shook his head helplessly.

The Southampton team is already leading, but there are still about [-] minutes in the game. Does this mean that the Barcelona team has lost?

Guardiola really thinks so.After he sighed, he turned and left the VIP box. He didn't plan to watch the rest of the game.

"If I want to defeat Sun, it seems that I still have to rely on myself."

No one knew that Guardiola appeared at St. Mary's Stadium, let alone that he left early.And it also determined the outcome of the game in advance.

The Southampton team, who didn't know this, was all immersed in the joy of leading.

The Barcelona team is immersed in frustration.

Messi hung his head on his hips again, looking very frustrated.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. It's okay. It's just one goal behind. There is still time in the game. With our strength, we have a chance to equalize. Even a reversal is not impossible."

Busquets is relatively calm, trying to encourage his teammates.

After being encouraged by Busquets, Messi nodded and began to prepare for the re-kick-off.

The expression on Valverde's face was melancholy.He was a little unacceptable that his side would be scored.

"Is it really as he said, otherwise there is nothing to do with Southampton?"

Valverde shook his head, dismissing these thoughts that had become unimportant.

Now no matter what he thinks, it's useless. The key is to find a way to let Barcelona score an equalizer.

If you can draw away, for the two-round Champions League game, it is not much worse than winning.

"Cheer up and bring out our offensive capabilities."

"Believe in yourself, we can do it."

Soon, the game restarted.

The re-kick-off Barcelona team did not change their tactics, and it is still their best pass and control style of play.On the contrary, the attack has been significantly strengthened.

And this is mainly due to Messi's rise.

Messi has obviously become more serious and active.Especially in the offense, he began to take more responsibility, often trying to rely on his personal ability to create opportunities.

Watching Messi desperately dribbling the ball and rushing left and right in the chasing and intercepting of the Southampton defenders, it makes people feel as if they have returned to six or seven years ago.

Seeing Messi's playing style, everyone knows that he is really working hard.

"Messi, this has completely stimulated Ronaldo!"

Sun Yi couldn't help sighing.

"Isn't it? As one of the two strongest players in the world, Messi is naturally unwilling to be downgraded by Ronaldo. Now that Ronaldo has scored, Messi must at least help the team score to equalize the score Just do it," Dio said.

"It's rare to see him still have fighting spirit and work so hard. However, it is futile. We have prepared for him well before the game, and we have the best defenders. It is impossible for him to succeed." Sun Yi Said very confidently.

"That's right. And he is not what he used to be now, his physical ability is not what it used to be. Otherwise, he would not have transformed into a midfield organization in the past few seasons. As long as he consumes him again, he will not be able to run. "

Speaking of which, Dio looked very happy.

The dialogue between the two showed their great confidence in this game.It seems that the victory of this game is already in the hands.

However, the next game really confirmed their thoughts.

At the beginning, Messi could indeed rush up and put tremendous pressure on the Southampton team, but after a few times he couldn't move.

Even Messi, the strongest leg of the Barcelona team, can't do it. Naturally, it is impossible for others to do better.

Although the Barcelona team still has excellent offensive players like Suarez and Coutinho.

It's a pity that Suarez's current strength is not as good as before.In the confrontation with Pawar, he didn't take advantage of it.

And Coutinho has been dissatisfied since joining the Barcelona team.Although he returned to the Premier League this time, he still couldn't find any feeling.Since the start of the game, he has been playing without any sense of presence.

These two should be said to be the best offensive players in the Barcelona team except Messi.The two of them can't do it, let alone someone like Dembele.

Therefore, with Messi's role greatly reduced due to physical reasons, it will be difficult for the Barcelona team to cheer up in terms of offense.

In terms of defense, Barcelona did pretty well, destroying Southampton's chances of expanding the score several times.

Such a situation allows Barcelona to keep the goal for the rest of the game, but forget about scoring.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at one to zero.

Southampton were victorious.

Victory is the best elixir for fans.Although it failed to achieve the minimum consumption at home, it was enough for the Southampton team to be crazy and happy.

After all, what won this time is the Barcelona team with Messi, the charming son of heaven.Enough to keep Southampton fans going all night for it.

"There will be wins and losses in the game. It's no big deal to lose a goal in an away game."

"It's not the end, it's just the beginning. It's just a small setback on our way. It doesn't hit us, it just serves as a monument to how we got better."

"We'll be waiting for you at Camp Nou, Southampton!"

Unwilling and unconvinced, the Barcelona team went back to Spain.

Sun Yi was very happy to win the victory from the Barcelona team.However, he did not relax.

On the contrary, he has raised his vigilance against Barcelona.

Like Barcelona said, they still have the Camp Nou battle.Now is not the time to be too happy.

After finishing all the matters of the game and returning home, Sun Yi was still thinking about the game.

In this game, the performance of the Barcelona team in the first half made Sun Yi realize that his impression was too solidified.It's not comprehensive enough to think about things.

But Sun Yi would also like to thank this game. It was the abnormal play of the Barcelona team in the first half that made him understand that there will always be surprises in the game, and he needs to do more preparations.

The matter of the Champions League is temporarily over, and Sun Yi will turn his attention back to the Premier League.

The Southampton team is currently back at the top of the list, but it is still not time to relax.Although the opponents in the remaining two rounds are not worth mentioning, it is always right to be careful.

A few days later, Sun Yi took the Southampton team to Upton Park to play against the 'Hammers' West Ham United.

For this game, Sun Yi was very careful and cautious, trying to make no mistakes.

What is more beneficial to the Southampton team is that West Ham United has successfully relegated, which belongs to the kind that has no desires and no desires.

On the contrary, the Manchester City team does not seem to want to see the Southampton team pass the test easily. Their trench boss Mansour offered a reward to West Ham United.As long as West Ham can draw with Southampton, there will be a huge reward.

West Ham United really wanted to take this reward, but their strength was not enough.

In the absence of Sun Yi's carelessness, West Ham United worked hard, but they quickly gave up after being scored by Southampton.

In the end, the Southampton team won the victory quite easily.

With this victory, Southampton continued to hold the top spot.In the same round, Liverpool and Manchester City also won, but Southampton failed to win the championship in advance.

But after the game, Liverpool's head coach Klopp was almost desperate.

Although he is still encouraging Liverpool players, he has secretly put Liverpool's main direction on the Champions League.

After the end of the second round of the league, Southampton will have to return to the Champions League.

After the match with West Ham United, Sun Yi quickly took Southampton to Barcelona.

Next, it will be a very difficult challenge to challenge Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

It's really nothing to win Barcelona by one goal in the first round at home.

This advantage is at the Nou Camp, and it may be wiped out in minutes.

After Sun Yi led the team to Barcelona, ​​the difficulties have already begun.

First, the hotel where the Southampton team stayed was disturbed by suspected Barcelona fans, which affected the rest of the players.

Secondly, they encountered some troubles in transportation and other aspects, which greatly affected the travel of the Southampton team.

The most troublesome thing is that field training and other aspects have not been well guaranteed.

The combination of these troubles made Southampton's field adaptation not very good.

Many people in the Southampton team were very unhappy because of these things. Some people suspected that this was the Barcelona team deliberately interfering with Southampton's preparations.

But Sun Yi denied this statement.He believes that it is impossible for a world-class giant with a rich background and honor like the Barcelona team to use such indecent methods.

At most, some bad fans want to give Barcelona an assist.

The situation after arriving in Barcelona was really not ideal.

However, Sun Yi's practice of letting the Southampton team arrive in advance has played a role in giving him and the team more time to adapt and adjust.

After some hard work, the Southampton team is not badly prepared.

Soon, game day will arrive.

This game is so important.It's about who gets to the final of the Champions League.

Therefore, the entire Camp Nou stadium is full of fans.

It's just that most of the fans belong to the Barcelona team.There were not many Southampton fans in the stands.

It's not because Southampton have few fans following their expedition to Spain.In fact, there are many fans who arrived in Barcelona with the team, but they only got a small part of the visiting team tickets.

This prevented the vast majority of Southampton fans from entering the stadium to watch the game, and could only stay outside the stadium to watch the TV broadcast.

This also makes the entire Nou Camp the real home of the Barcelona team.The shouts from Barcelona's dominance fans made cheers from Southampton's fans almost nonexistent.

On the other hand, some fans wearing Southampton team appeared in the stands belonging to the phalanx of Barcelona fans.These people probably got the tickets as home fans.

This is also considered commendable.

After seeing this situation, many people also admire these people very much.He is not afraid of death, he can be called a warrior.

In any case, the Camp Nou is indeed completely Barcelona's territory.As soon as he stepped into the stadium, Sun Yi felt what a real away game is.

Listening to the slogans and shouts of the Barcelona team, Sun Yi has a feeling of encountering a devil away.I can't help but feel a little more pressure in my heart.

But the players looked pretty good.Under the leadership of Ronaldo, the Southampton team did not let people see the tension and fear of away games.Everyone was talking and laughing, looking calm and relaxed.

Sun Yi was very satisfied with this.Of course, he also understands that this is probably due to Ronaldo.

Therefore, Sun Yi has a little more confidence in this game.

After the grand pre-match ceremony, the game started soon.

"Barcelona must win!!"

As soon as the game started, the Barcelona team immediately launched an attack.

Their offense was fierce, and they were obviously better than they were at St. Mary's Stadium before.

Whether it is cooperation or offense, it is obviously smoother and more threatening.The first attack resulted in a shot.

This performance drew cheers from the Barcelona team at home.

"Look, this is our real Barcelona team."

"Back at Camp Nou, we can sweep everything. The attack just started."

"Soon, Southampton, you will see what real technical football is."

"I believe, our goals will appear soon."

I have to say that the Barcelona team really attacked fiercely at the beginning, and the threat was also great.Many Southampton players felt a lot of pressure.

However, all this did not exceed Sun Yi's expectations.After learning the lesson from last time, Sun Yi was really fully prepared.

Under the well-prepared defense of the Southampton team, Barcelona's powerful offense did not achieve very good results.

It's just that the momentum is indeed somewhat suppressed by the Barcelona team.

Fortunately, after gradually adapting to the scene and the rhythm of the Barcelona team, the Southampton team has gained a firm foothold.

Subtle changes are not easy for fans to spot.Barcelona fans only saw their team beat Southampton from the start of the game.

So, they're excited.

"Haha. See? This is our territory. Here, Southampton, you don't want to do anything."

"Let's attack as much as we want. Teach them a lesson with goals."

"Let them flee back to England crying!"

At the Nou Camp, the fans have unparalleled confidence in the Barcelona team.They believe that the Southampton team is definitely not an opponent.

Not to mention that Southampton has a one-goal lead, even with two goals, they have enough confidence.

"Barcelona must win."

However, as the game went on, what the Barcelona fans wanted didn't come.

After the Southampton team entered the game state, the Barcelona team, let alone scored, even lost the advantage of the scene.

After playing for 10 minutes, it was Southampton who took the lead in attacking.

In a counter-attack, Southampton successfully implemented a "Mu-style counter-attack".And Pulisic, who returned from injury, scored the ball.

Home behind?

The Barcelona team cannot accept it.

Coupled with Southampton's goal in the last leg, Barcelona needs to score three goals to advance to the final.

The Barcelona team was in a hurry.

And Sun Yi is very pragmatic. After scoring a goal, he directly asked the Southampton team to switch to defensive counterattack.

Sun Yi's approach made it extremely difficult for the Barcelona team to fight back.

The whole Barcelona team is crazy about attacking.But in the tide of offensive, the Southampton team, under the leadership of Van Dijk, defended like a rock.

The result was that in the first half, Barcelona failed to score.

At the beginning of the second half, the Barcelona team became even crazier.

It's just that their impatient offense always has nothing to do with Southampton's impenetrable defense.

They exhausted all means and failed to break through Southampton's goal.

Instead, when they attacked with all their strength and their physical fitness declined, they were counterattacked by Southampton and scored the second goal.

After the second ball appeared, the Barcelona team completely withered.

After that, they never got back together.

In the end, the game was won by Southampton with two goals.

"Camp Nou? Hehe, I took the qualification for the final."

Sun Yi led the Southampton team away with a smile.

Only Messi's helpless figure with his head bowed and sighing was left behind.

After hearing the result, Guardiola sighed:
"All of this was doomed as early as St. Mary's."
