Chapter 1058 He scored again!
"Southampton steals the ball from midfield and gives it to Di Maria."

"Di Maria started the arc in the middle circle, took the ball forward, went to the left, and handed it over to David Alaba!"

"Alaba crossed it to Hazard."

"Hazard cuts inside, past Ramos, into the penalty area, good chance!"

"Real Madrid's defensive players are back, Hazard continues to dribble, and he can kick!"

"Azar kicked..."

"Ah, it's not a goal, it's a pass!"

"To the right, Messi, Messi, Messi!"

"The ball has been scored!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 7th minute of the first half, only 7 minutes into the game, Southampton took the lead in breaking Real Madrid's goal!"

"It's wonderful. After the saints made a beautiful cooperation from the left, Hazard cut inside, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passed three players in a row, made a wonderful pass to the right, and assisted Messi to score the opening goal!"

"One to zero, the game was completely dominated by Southampton!"

"It's amazing. Real Madrid didn't even have a chance to fight back against Southampton's fierce attack!"

"We saw that after Laporte intercepted the ball, he quickly passed it straight to Di Maria. The latter took the ball from the top of the center circle all the way to the left, sought cooperation with David Alaba, and then passed it to Hazard."

"The whole scoring routine is very interesting, from the center to the left, then back to the center, then pass to the right, and finally Messi on the right cuts in from the ribs, the final word!"

"It's a typical Southampton attack, very smooth, very beautiful and very surprising!"

"One to zero, Messi opened the scoring for the Saints!"

"The current game has made Real Madrid completely passive, one goal behind, they are now completely stunned."

……

The whole stadium of Glory is shouting Messi's name loudly!
Especially when Messi rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way to celebrate, all Saints fans in the audience stood up one after another, giving the Argentine superstar the warmest applause and cheers.

Hazard, Suarez, Pogba, Di Maria and other teammates all jumped up and hugged Messi on the sidelines.

This goal greatly vented the enthusiasm of the Southampton fans and greatly boosted the morale of the team.

Coach Ancelotti walked to the sidelines and waved to the team, "Tony! Rafael!"

Toni Kroos and Raphael Varane heard the voice, left the celebrating crowd and ran towards the home team coach's bench.

They all knew that the head coach must have made arrangements at this time.

"Now is the critical time!" Ancelotti's first sentence was very heavy.

Toni Kroos and Raphael Varane are also experienced in many battles, so of course they understand what Ancelotti means.

One to zero is the most unsafe score, especially against a team like Real Madrid.

It is completely foreseeable that Real Madrid will definitely counterattack frantically if they fall behind temporarily.

This is the real test for Southampton.

Didn't you say something?
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the deadly ones.

Real Madrid is a bit desperate now!

"Real Madrid will counterattack crazily, but my request is very simple, keep pressing on me, attack me, attack to the death, I want you to kill them with goals while they counterattack, and win this game!"

Ancelotti's last words were powerful and resounding.

Both Toni Kroos and Varane felt the coach's determination and nodded in agreement.

Back on the football field, the two immediately communicated the coach's arrangements to their teammates.

"It can be seen that he is very bold this time!" Pogba said with a smile.

Ancelotti has never been Bielsa's type of manager, instead, he has always been known for his composure.

But this time, he chose to fight head-on, which is indeed bold and unrestrained.

"It is estimated that he also suffered a lot when he was in Real Madrid. This time, we will go all out!"

The players dispersed and the game quickly resumed.

As the game resumed, with Real Madrid serving in the middle circle, everyone was a little surprised to find that Southampton, who was temporarily leading by one goal, had no intention of retreating at all.

On the contrary, after taking the lead with a goal in hand, the Saints still adopted high-position pressing and oppressive tactics, and the players even fought harder and harder than before.

And Real Madrid also wanted to counterattack when they fell behind, but in the head-to-head contest with Southampton, Real Madrid completely exposed their old problems.

First of all, when they were behind, the team's mentality was very impatient, especially when Modric was heavily marked by the opponent, the team's rhythm was completely out of control, they played chaotically, and the offense failed to form an effective coordination routine.

Although Casemiro performed well in the position of the midfielder, under the repeated attacks of Di Maria and Pogba, the single midfielder of Real Madrid failed to protect the defense line very well, frequently exposing the two central defenders to the opponent's gunfire.

Ramos and Pepe, the pair of central defenders, once again got hotheaded, frequently lost their positions, and their movements were a bit big, winning cards one after another.

Finally, the team's offense lacks the ability to effectively break through dense defenses. Coupled with Modric being restricted, Real Madrid has no effective means of advancing the ball. They can only make frequent long passes, which greatly reduces the offensive effect.

In the case of frequent problems in both offense and defense, Real Madrid's overall formation can be described as precarious, and it is not worth making a fuss about conceding goals again.

When the game progressed to No. 201 minutes, Danilo on the right stepped up to cover the edge, received the pass and then knocked back to Messi. After the Argentine attracted defensive attention in the ribs of the penalty area, he crossed to Pogba who was plugged in.

The French midfielder quickly plugged in, and after getting the ball, he waded into the penalty area and shot directly with a powerful kick.

This shot was very fast and the angle was very tricky.

However, Real Madrid's goalkeeper Keylor Navas also reacted very quickly. He directly made a flying save and blocked the ball with one hand, but the ball did not fall far and was still at the front of the small penalty area.

I saw Suarez, who was like a ghost, suddenly appear at the landing point of the ball, and the smiling Uruguayan striker faced the landing point of the ball and gave it a light push.

Navas, who fell on the ground, just watched helplessly as the ball he threw with all his strength rolled towards the goal again.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Suarez!"

"Southampton scored another goal, two to zero!"

All the Saints fans at the scene went crazy!

They celebrated almost crazily, cheered, and shouted the names of the players!
Everyone knows that the Saints have been on fire this season, but no one could have imagined that the Saints would be so good.

It is simply unstoppable!
"Two to zero, the Saints can be said to have won the match!"

In the Glory Stadium, leading by two goals and being tied by others, this kind of thing has never happened to Southampton.

Not to mention that Real Madrid has exposed so many and fatal problems in the first 20 minutes. It is not less difficult to reverse the situation.

"The most important thing Zidane should do now is to come up with an effective solution as soon as possible to stop the team's decline!"

"Oh, let's look at Ancelotti again, still waving his hands desperately, signaling the team to keep pressing and keep on the offensive."

"It can be seen that the Italian is still not satisfied with his team's [-]-[-] lead. He obviously wants to win the two rounds in one go. I wonder if his team can do so?"

The Saints fans at the scene seemed to feel the high fighting spirit from the head coach and the players, and they all cheered wildly, hoping that the team could take advantage of the victory and score again.

In the box of the Glory Stadium, Platini saw that after the game restarted, when Southampton continued to chase Real Madrid on the court, he finally understood why Real Madrid's chairman Florentino would be absent.

The reason is simple, he doesn't want to appear in such embarrassing occasions.

I am afraid that as early as before the game, he had already seen that the team's prospects were not optimistic.

That's right, Zidane is an outstanding superstar, but stars and coaches are two completely different fields.

In the field of professional coaching, Zidane is still a fledgling. Facing the old and cunning Ancelotti, Zidane really doesn't have much chance of winning. Even in this game, Ancelotti knows Zidane's every move like the back of his hand.

In this case, it is not surprising that there is no advantage at the tactical level, and the team is at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Real Madrid is completely passive or even defeated.

Seeing this, Platini couldn't help shaking his head deeply and sighing.

Southampton is too strong, stronger than Barcelona back then.

This undoubtedly brings a big problem to UEFA, that is, once Southampton continues to maintain this momentum, who can stop them?
Perhaps, at this time, some fans would feel that they should make some extra moves.

But for such an argument, Platini can only be hehe.

The UEFA Champions League is the most market-oriented professional league in the world. Not to mention the participating teams, how many sponsors are there?
Will they allow UEFA to resort to those out-of-the-box tricks?
Besides, why did UEFA resort to out-of-the-box tricks?
Just to contain Southampton?
In terms of containing Southampton and destroying the overall image of the Champions League, who knows how to choose?
Southampton's strength is indeed a problem, but it is not a problem.

At least in the past few years, after the Saints are strong, they have brought considerable help to the Champions League.

Therefore, from the perspective of an industry manager, Platini is now helpless to see Southampton being so good, but what he hopes is that in European football, a team can rise rapidly and challenge Southampton.

For example, Simeone's Atletico Madrid, this team has performed quite well this season and should be very promising.

It is also possible that Klopp's Inter Milan also has explosive combat effectiveness.

Needless to say Guardiola's Bayern Munich, Ronald Koeman's Monaco...

Platini can only hope that these teams can rise up and attack the Saints.

However, on second thought, Platini still felt depressed.

Because whether it is Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Monaco or Hamburg, they are all young master Huan's teams.

This drama of moving the left hand to the right is really...

However, in any case, it is a good thing to have a team come out to attack Southampton.

But when Platini was thinking, there was another burst of overwhelming cheers on the court.

"what happened?"

Just as Platini reacted, he heard the commentator at the Glory Stadium shouting a long goal.

Another goal?

Looking intently at the court, I saw Suarez excitedly rushing out of the penalty area again, rushing towards Messi, and then the two hugged each other heavily.

Obviously, he scored again!
