Chapter 1037 Master Huan, stop teasing me!
Facts have proved that after Southampton took the lead, the game did play more open.

Manuel Pellegrini's side wanted an equalizer and a goal, but the Saints were firmly in control and would not let up.

After a few rounds of back and forth between the two sides, the Saints scored again before the end of the first half.

After Harry Kane retreated to get the ball, he returned to Sturridge.

The latter quickly went straight into the penalty area after getting the ball, but he had no chance and could only knock back to the front of the penalty area.

Oscar caught up with the ball, passed Yaya Toure, who was in a hurry to return to the defense, and kicked the ball straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Two to zero!
This score basically sentenced Manchester City to death.

In the second half, Manchester City changed sides and fought again. Although Manchester City intended to strengthen their offense, they were afraid of being counterattacked by the Saints, so they never dared to press.

On the other hand, the Saints, although they are all substitutes and second-team teenagers, seem to be able to do a job with ease on the court.

This is not easy!

"Southampton today reminds me of Manchester United in the early [-]s."

Prince William's sudden words caught Yang Huan's attention.

"At that time, Manchester United won the Triple Crown, was invincible in the Premier League, and was full of domineering. The team also had world-class stars such as Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy. The overall strength of the team was also second to none in Europe."

At that time, Manchester United, apart from the hidden dangers caused by Ferguson's sale of Stam on the defensive line, was basically in the midfield. Manchester United was not inferior to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and other teams.

"In those years, from Manchester United, what I felt most was a strong domineering, which was built up after years of precipitation and accumulation, so that they dared to face challenges directly no matter what opponent they faced."

Yang Huan nodded again and again, Manchester United's Red Devil temperament was indeed established over the years.

Very tenacious and domineering, the typical representative is Roy Keane.

Even a creamy niche like Beckham, as it turns out, is not just an idol, but a capable one.

At least Yang Huan has never seen an idol group who ran [-] kilometers in a race and ran to vomit.

If you carefully analyze Manchester United's triple crown that year, it is not difficult to find that it is definitely the best embodiment of this domineering.

In addition to the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, against Juventus, the FA Cup, and the Premier League, there is no shortage of wonderful reversal scenes.

If it is said that Manchester United does not have super mental strength, how can it be possible?
"Southampton today is a bit like Manchester United at that time, with superior strength, but a completely different temperament."

When he said this, Prince William smiled slightly, "If I really want to say, the Saints during Bielsa's period are really similar to Manchester United, but Ancelotti has injected rationality into the team over the past six months or so. Now watching the Saints play is a kind of enjoyment, as if appreciating an art."

The Chinese have a saying, too strong is easy to break.

To use a saying in the movie Fengyun, it is that if everything is too exhausted, fate will inevitably be exhausted early.

Bielsa's football is passionate and exciting, there is no doubt about it, but it is too hard.

Ancelotti is easy-going, and his football concept has a bit of Italian literary style. His arrival has injected a touch of reason and calm into Southampton's football.

In Yang Huan's view, if the saints during Bielsa's period were teenagers and youths, then the saints during Ancelotti's period were mature men.

It is hard to say who is better. Ancelotti has remained undefeated so far, which is indeed quite brilliant, but it cannot be separated from the foundation laid by Bielsa. Moreover, Bielsa's passion represents forging ahead and continuous innovation, while Ancelotti's maturity represents stability.

In the past, Bielsa's concept was easy to use when playing against the country, but now, all the players in the team have matured, whether it is Hazard, Suarez, Toni Kroos, or other players in the team.

Therefore, at this time, Ancelotti is easier to use than Bielsa.

If there is no Guardiola, Yang Huan will definitely continue to let Ancelotti coach, at least in the next four or five years, he will not easily change the idea of ​​coaching, because he believes that Ancelotti has the ability to keep the team among the top in Europe.

But now that there is Guardiola, the situation is very different.

But it's okay, with such an excellent coaching performance in Southampton this season, Ancelotti's next stop should also be a top giant.

No, Master Huan's thoughts just flashed through, and at some point, Mubarak changed seats with someone and leaned over.

"Master Huan, I have something, can I ask you?"

"what's up?"

"Does Carlo Ancelotti's contract with the Saints end at the end of the season?" Mubarak asked with concern.

When Yang Huan heard it, he immediately understood that this kid was poaching a corner.

Manchester City's results this season are indeed not ideal. Pellegrini has been coaching for many years, and the team has given enough patience to give to whomever they want, but the results have not been improved. This is indeed quite depressing.

In the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of [-] that just passed, Manchester City lost [-]-[-] at home to Guardiola's Bayern Munich. Although the Bundesliga Banba lost Lewandowski and the performance of the two wings was also sluggish, but relying on their strong overall control, they still safely killed Manchester City away.

Manchester City, which is strong and strong, lost at home to Bayern Munich, which is short of major generals. Pellegrini's embarrassment can be imagined.

"Aren't you staring at Guardiola?" Yang joyfully asked.

Prince William couldn't help laughing at the mention of Guardiola.

Mubarak also looked depressed, and waved his hands, "Master Huan, stop teasing me!"

To say that in the past period of time, Guardiola was indeed a big favorite for many teams in the Premier League to select coaches. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have all followed the Spanish coach. It was even reported that Abramovich visited Munich in person.

For two or three months throughout Europe, there were almost rumors that Guardiola would come to the Premier League to coach.

Bayern Munich officials also stated that the team's contract with Guardiola will end in the summer and start the coaching process.

For a time, the whole of Europe was going crazy about who Guardiola would get.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United were all big favourites, but in the end, nobody was.

This is still a columnist from the Southern Echo, Charlene Lahiri broke the news. The team Guardiola really wants to coach is not these teams, but Southampton.

Even Charlene Lahiri broke the news that Guardiola contributed to the introduction of Messi by the Saints.

Then the truth will become clear.

The Saints don't admit it, but they don't deny it, and neither does Guardiola.

Therefore, the Premier League powerhouses began to shift their targets one after another.

Manchester United is eyeing Mourinho, who was sacked from Chelsea, but it is said that the news made Giggs and Ferguson behind him very dissatisfied, thinking that Mourinho could not lead Manchester United back to the top.

Chelsea wanted to cry, but Abramovich wanted to die.

However, the selection of the Blue Army's coach has hit a wall everywhere, and has been rejected by famous European coaches such as Simeone, Klopp, Ronald Koeman. Currently, they are eyeing the head coach of the Italian national team, Conte, and the coach of Juventus, Allegri.

Only Manchester City, it is not easy to choose a suitable head coach.

"Are you really determined to use the knife?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Manchester City's current problems are actually not big, but they are not small.

In the past few years, this team has always given people a feeling of being up and down. If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the root of this team lies in the midfielder of this team, that is, Yaya Toure.

There is no doubt that Yaya Toure is the thigh of this team, but obviously, this thigh is not thick enough.

When Manchester City was first established, Yaya Toure was undoubtedly the most important member. However, after world-class stars such as Aguero, David Silva, and De Bruyne joined in one by one, Yaya Toure's problems were exposed.

It's not that Ivory Coast's midfielder is not strong enough, but his characteristics make it impossible for him to lead Manchester City to a breakthrough in strength.

Instead, City's biggest problem right now is Yaya Toure.

Why has Yaya Toure been making trouble in the past few years?

Because he knew that the team wanted to move him, but because of his performance, he didn't dare to move him easily.

The tragedy of Manchester City is that they have never made up their minds and failed to introduce a midfielder who can replace Yaya Toure.

Now, as the Ivorians are getting older and their physical fitness is gradually declining, this problem is particularly exposed.

If it is said that Yaya Toure led Manchester City to run in the first two years after joining, then in the following years, it was Manchester City who dragged Yaya Toure to run.

Whether it is the introduction of Fernandinho or Fernando, there is only one purpose, to solve the problem of Yaya Toure.

But obviously, it didn't work out in the end.

Mubarak shook his head and sighed, "Yaya Toure is 33 years old after playing this season. With the current situation of this season, it is a good time for the team to reorganize."

Yang Huan nodded. At this time, the reaction of the fans will be relatively small.

"Then keep it for me." Yang Huan said with a slight smile.

Mubarak was taken aback, "Master Huan is interested in Yaya Toure?"

"No, my compatriots will be very interested." Yang Huan explained with a smile.

Yaya Toure's characteristics are not in line with Yang Huan's preferences. Even Guardiola, Bielsa, or Pochettino probably would not want to use Yaya Toure to form a team.

He is different from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although they are both players who need the team to organize tactics around him, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a center forward and Yaya Toure is a vital midfielder.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic's overall strength is obviously much higher than that of Yaya Toure.

However, the Chinese Super League team should not reject Yaya Toure.

As for whether it will strengthen competitors, Yang Huan has no worries in this regard.

He believes that the most important thing now is to make the Chinese Super League bigger and stronger. This does not only require one or two strong teams such as Beijing Guoen, or Yangcheng Hengda, but the strength of the entire Chinese Super League team.

Only in this way can the prosperity of the entire league be driven.

In this way, the strength of Jingcheng Guoen is meaningful, isn't it?
If the Chinese Super League is still the former Chinese Super League, then no matter how strong Beijing Guoen is, is it interesting?

This is why in the past few years, Yang Huan has been helping the Super League team contact Mendes, Raiola, Pini Zahavi, Joorabchian and other big-name agents.

This is true in the Chinese Super League, and so is the Premier League.

Manchester United signed Mourinho and wanted to fight against the Saints and Guardiola. Yang Huan must have raised his hands and feet in favor.

The reason is simple. Only when there is confrontation can there be prosperity and fun.

Fans these days love to watch that.

Just like this season, with the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, fans all over the world are paying attention to the Premier League and watching how these two superstars are torn apart.

But in the end, no one expected that after tearing it up and down, it turned out that Suarez, the king of strikers, was torn out.

Now the Uruguayan stars are so popular that even Hazard, Pogba and other stars in the Saints team are also rapidly becoming popular.

Coupled with Messi, Southampton has become the most popular and most concerned team in Europe.

On the other hand, Barcelona and Real Madrid have lost their top stars, and their momentum is not as good as before.

Now Manchester United, Manchester City and other teams are staring at Gareth Bale and Neymar. If even the two stars are lost, the momentum of the Western Super League duo will definitely be hit.

No way, with the implementation of the new broadcast contract, the Premier League teams are really rich!
