I brush achievements in football

Southampton found Chelsea to warm up, while Liverpool found Arsenal to warm up.

Liverpool's running ability and fast offensive ability are quite good, so Southampton used Chelsea to simulate their opponents, and Southampton's skills, apart from Manchester City, probably only Arsenal can show some of them. They warm up, which can be regarded as prescribing the right medicine.

Of course, Chelsea and Arsenal themselves also have warm-up needs.

So on May 22, that is, ten days after the end of the league, Southampton and Liverpool played a warm-up match in London, at Stamford Bridge and the Emirates Stadium respectively. A team participating in the Champions League needs others, and playing at the opponent's home court can be regarded as making up for it financially.

There is nothing to say about the results of these two warm-up matches. In short, Chelsea and Arsenal will not work too hard in such a game, lest someone get injured and affect the state of the next Europa League.

After playing these two warm-up matches, the four teams continued to stay in London to rest. Liverpool borrowed the training base of Tottenham, and Southampton borrowed the training base of West Ham United until four days before the start of the game. Just took off and went to Madrid to prepare for the final of the Champions League.

This time the final was held in an emerging stadium. Atletico Madrid’s home stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano, is also a brand new five-star stadium. Southampton’s Saints Stadium failed to apply to host the Champions League final, but the There should be no big problem with this application, so Southampton will have to wait some time if they want to participate in the Champions League final at home.

However, the final location of the Champions League is actually relatively good. After all, the cities that can get five-star stadiums will not be small cities. At most, they will go to countries like Russia, Ukraine or Turkey to compete. It’s different. Many small European countries have four-star stadiums, and four-star stadiums are enough to bid for the Europa League final. For example, this year’s Europa League final was held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan... UEFA In order to promote Football, it can be said that spare no effort in this regard.

Of course, Southampton will not care how Chelsea and Arsenal are struggling in Azerbaijan. Although Ji Ya is very strict, the accommodation conditions in Madrid are much better than Azerbaijan.

After a few days of rest in Madrid, for Real Madrid fans, of course they hate seeing Southampton, but the local Atletico fans in Madrid are very happy to applaud Southampton.

Atlético fans are happier to see that the rivalry's record is no longer unique.

The Wanda Metropolitano Stadium can accommodate 8000 people. Southampton and Liverpool were each allocated 2 tickets, but this number is definitely not enough to satisfy the appetites of fans on both sides. There are more than 3 people sitting there.

But every year the Champions League final is like this, there are always those who get tickets, and there are always those who don't.

June [-]nd is coming soon. Before that, Chelsea swept Arsenal [-]-[-] in the Europa League final and won the Europa League championship. Next, the last game worth paying attention to this season, It's about to start!

When the buses of both sides appeared in the sight of the fans, they immediately aroused huge cheers.

Southampton and Liverpool, these two teams that have performed well this season, have not won any championships so far, which in itself is a embarrassing thing.

Manchester City won three domestic championships in England in one breath this season. In the league, they beat Liverpool by one point to win the championship. In the FA Cup final, they won [-]-[-] in the FA Cup final. Fortunately, they did not meet Watford, who was a strong team. , they won the League Cup even in March, when they beat Chelsea in a penalty shootout - if they hadn't been killed by Southampton in the Champions League, then they had a chance to get Southampton and didn't get it The honor - the quadruple crown!

From this perspective, Manchester City this season is really strong and a bit scary.

However, Southampton had the upper hand when facing Manchester City.

This season, Southampton played a total of six games against Manchester City. Southampton double-killed Manchester City in two games in the league. Southampton had one win and one draw in the two Champions League games. It was lost to Manchester City. Southampton also lost to Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Although it seemed that they only won one more game from Manchester City, Southampton still won important games.

And Liverpool is a bit more depressed this season. They are only one point behind Manchester City in the league, which is indeed quite an unpleasant thing.

At this time, they can only go desperately to compete for the Champions Cup.

"This final, I don't think I need to say more, everyone knows how important it is. In such a game, we need to perform a little better. The last game of this season is also our chance to create a new great record I don't want to say how glorious it will be after getting such an honor, our names will be recorded in history... I just want to ask, when we have the opportunity to play such an important game, why don't we to fight?"

Ji Ya was talking in the locker room, his voice was not loud, but the Southampton players all raised their heads and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, the Champions League final, this is a game that many players want to participate in all their lives, just like they want to play in the World Cup. Although they have played several times in a row, this is why they are slack or don’t care about this game reason?

How can it be!

For anyone, this kind of competition is willing to give their all every time!

"Very well, I think we will have a much higher winning percentage in this game. We have met Liverpool twice in the league this season and lost to them both times, so in this situation, we don't want to play Beat Liverpool in this final and prove yourself?"

The players waved their fists. They were defeated by Liverpool twice in the league this season. In fact, there were some reasons. The reason why they lost to Liverpool in the sixth round was because they hadn't gotten along well at the time, and Liverpool used their offense to tear apart the defense. , and then lost to Liverpool, Southampton began to concentrate on the Champions League. They were four points behind in the league. It proved to be a very wise thing.

Of course they would not be convinced if they lost two games under such circumstances!

"Then let us regain all our face in this final!"
