Chapter 476 Jumping the beam clown
No one thought that the first round of the Premier League would look like this.

Fulham beat Norwich City [-]-[-] at home, Swansea beat Queens Park Rangers [-]-[-] away, West Bromwich Albion beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home, and Arsenal drew [-]-[-] at home with Sunderland.

This made several games on the first day of the first round of the Premier League surprising.

This is too tragic, right?
On the next day, Newcastle beat Tottenham Hotspur [-]-[-] at home, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic [-]-[-] away, and Everton beat Ferguson's Manchester United [-]-[-] at home, continuing the crazy performance in the first round of the Premier League.

Relatively speaking, Southampton's [-]-[-] away loss to Manchester City in the first round is not very eye-catching.

Such a score is not worth making a fuss about, is it?
It's just that the competition process was relatively tragic!
Southampton equalized twice when they were behind, thanks to Drogba and Vidal's two goals respectively.

But in the end, in the No.801 minute, Nasri entered the penalty area from the left and scored a decisive goal for Manchester City.

In this game, neither team had any reservations, and they played even more openly than in the Community Shield.

Mancini is sitting at home, coupled with a strong man and a strong horse, and strives to win Southampton at home in one breath and get a good start for the new season, but Southampton is a bit helpless.

Defensive players Harvey Martinez, Azpilicueta, Danilo and Alex Sandro were transferred to play in the Olympics, especially the defensive core Harvey Martinez and two regular right backs were absent, which had a huge impact on Southampton's defense.

Three conceded goals are rare for Southampton in the past two years, and the black opening goal is expected by many people.

But in the middle of the week, after a slight adjustment, Bielsa's team immediately went to Scotland to challenge the Scottish Super League team Hearts away.

Southampton, who was short of major generals, also played very hard in this game, but in the end, with Hazard's key goal, they brought back a victory [-]-[-] from the away game, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the Europa League group stage.

Returning to the Premier League, Bielsa's team defeated Wigan Athletic [-]-[-] at home after adjustments, won the first victory of the new season, and boosted the morale of the team.

Bielsa surprisingly put out the twin tower combination of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba again, and the two world-class high center forwards each scored a goal to secure the victory for Southampton.

In the second round of the fourth round of Europa League qualifiers, Southampton successfully won the Scottish Super League Hearts [-]-[-] at home, and then advanced to the group stage with a total score of [-]-[-].

But in the third round of the Premier League, Southampton lost to Ferguson's Manchester United with a depressing [-]-[-] at home.

Losing is not worth the fuss, what matters is the way you lose.

Southampton took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal by center Drogba in No. 16 minutes.

But 6 minutes later, Valencia broke through from the wing and assisted Van Persie to equalize the score.

After changing sides in the second half, Drogba received an overhead pass from Toni Kroos in the penalty area and knocked it back with a header.

Afterwards, the two teams changed players frequently. Ferguson replaced Nani, Scholes and Hernandez successively. His attitude was also very clear, that is, to attack Southampton's wing madly.

Although Bielsa also made efforts to stabilize the side defense, but in the end there was no way.

The two genuine right backs are both playing in the World Cup. What's the trick?

But what is really unacceptable is that Southampton tenaciously defended the score of 809-[-] to No. [-] minutes.

As a result, at the last moment, Van Persie scored two consecutive goals in the 80th and 92nd minutes to help Manchester United reverse Southampton away, and both goals were assists from the wing!
This made all fans of St. Mary's Stadium feel sorry for Southampton.

The ball possession rate is superior, the number of shots is superior, and the success rate of passing and receiving is also superior, and the result is still lost!

This defeat also caused Southampton's league ranking to fall to No.13, which was even worse than that of the newly promoted West Ham United. The Hammers reached fourth place in the league with a record of two wins and one draw.

The other newly promoted Reading team has lost three games in a row and is at the bottom of the ranking.

This also made the British media unanimously believe that the experience of the Premier League determines the competitiveness of newly promoted horses during their analysis.

You must know that although Southampton is a veteran team, it has been relegated to the low-level leagues for many years. Bielsa has never had coaching experience in the Premier League or even the top European leagues.

As for West Ham United, they have been in the Premier League for the past few years. They have rich experience and are more adaptable to the Premier League environment.

However, some media analysis believes that Southampton's poor record has something to do with the schedule and lack of personnel.

After all, encountering the Manchester duo at the beginning, coupled with the recruitment of the Olympic team, it is understandable that the Saints performed poorly.

On the contrary, Manchester City and Chelsea, the two favorite teams to win the championship, have won three consecutive victories from the beginning, ranking first in the league standings with nine points.

After three rounds of fighting, the media generally believe that the Manchester duo and Chelsea will be the favorites to win the championship.

Known as the darkest newly promoted horse in history, Southampton is currently ranked in the middle and lower reaches. In order to achieve the goal of the top four in the league, they still need to step up the accelerator!

But just when the outside world was generally full of pessimism about Southampton's future, and some people even began to suspect that the Saints were over-exaggerated by the British media, Southampton beat Bayern Munich [-]-[-] in the European Super Cup.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick and Javi Martinez scored from a corner.

Players such as Neymar and Cork who returned to the team have performed well.

The tough Bielsa used a hearty victory to completely fight back the outside world's doubts about Southampton.

The media that followed the wind and rudder were all in solidarity with Southampton after the game, believing that the Saints' strength is absolutely no problem and they are qualified to compete for the top four in the Premier League.

But in the fourth round of the league, Southampton made a long journey back to London, but lost to Arsenal [-]-[-] away.

This immediately caused Southampton's league ranking to decline again, falling to No.16, only one step away from the relegation zone.

At the bottom of the ranking is the newly promoted four-game losing streak, Reading!

Newcastle's head coach Alan Pardew mentioned his former club in an interview with reporters at the press conference after the away game against Moyes' Everton in the second game. He believed that Southampton's goal of competing for the top four in the league is unrealistic. Their most realistic goal is to relegation.

"There is no doubt that they are the most talked about newly promoted horses in the history of the Premier League, but the Premier League is different from other leagues and cup competitions. This is a league where even the bottom-ranked team can earn £6000-[-] million a year."

"You can imagine how fierce the competition is!"

When a reporter asked about Newcastle's goals this season, Alan Pardew answered without hesitation, the top four!

Many reporters at the scene read between the lines, tasting the sneer and cynicism of the Magpie coach towards Southampton.

It seems that he still remembers the grievance two years ago!
Now it's fun!
…………

…………

"This Alan Pardue, I think he has forgotten now, the scene when he almost kowtowed in front of me and begged for mercy two years ago. Fortunately, I was kind enough to let him go!"

Speaking of this, Young Master Huan shook his head funny, "So, being a good person in this world is a very disadvantageous thing!"

Zhang Ning and Zhuang Ziqing, who were sitting opposite him, looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.

This is really an excellent reason to be a bad guy!

At this very moment, they are sitting in a car bound for the Shenzhen International Hi-Tech Exhibition Center in a stretched version of the Lagonda Vanquish.

As long as Alan Pardue is mentioned, Yang Huan finds it funny.

This jumping beam clown simply healed the scar and forgot the pain, and completely forgot what happened at the beginning.

The league has only played four rounds, so what if Southampton suffers a blackout?
As for jumping out so eagerly to draw hatred?

In the eyes of Young Master Huan, he is not a fart at all!
"Shall I call Sun Yue to help you respond?" Zhang Ning asked with a smile.

Since Sun Yue quarreled with Ferguson back then, and Ferguson was so angry that he almost vomited blood and burst his veins, his reputation as a poisonous tongue has been confirmed, but this guy has always refused to admit it.

"No need, he is busy with the UEFA Youth League right now!" Yang Huan shook his head and laughed.

As soon as the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, preparations for the UEFA Youth League began in full swing. During this period, Sun Yue was also quite busy. How could he have time to argue with a small player like Alan Pardew?
"Besides, if I compete with this kind of guy, I will lose my worth!"

After finishing speaking, Master Huan did not forget to proudly make a gesture that he thought was very handsome.

It made Zhuang Ziqing and Zhang Ning roll their eyes. Isn't this guy too narcissistic?
"Hey, by the way, Zhang Ning, are you sure about the exhibition this time? Don't mess it up!" Yang Huan asked with concern.

What he was talking about was the International High-tech Achievements Exhibition, an exhibition facing the whole world. Its influence is second to none both in China and in Asia, and it is regarded as the best booth for Chinese high-tech products to face the world.

This time, WeChat intends to officially launch several new products that have been developed for a long time at the exhibition.

Including the virtual reality glasses and augmented reality glasses that Yang Huan is looking forward to.

"Don't worry, we have been testing internally for half a year, and even spent a lot of money to prepare for this event. If there is no problem, you will definitely not embarrass you in front of reporters and fans all over the world!"

Zhang Ning was smiling, but he looked confident.

Yang Huan was still very confident in her ability to handle affairs, and kept nodding, "That's good!"

While the two were talking, they came to the exhibition center.

At this time, the convention and exhibition center was already crowded with people.

As the most influential high-tech exhibition in China, the International High-tech Achievements Exhibition has attracted countless high-tech companies, electronics enthusiasts and practitioners, as well as media reporters from all over the world.

This limited-edition gold Lagonda Conqueror extended version, as soon as it appeared, immediately attracted the attention and amazement of everyone at the gate of the Convention and Exhibition Center.

I believe it is the first time for most people to see the current car, it is too eye-catching, isn't it?

And when Yang Huan and the two beautiful beauties got out of the car one after another, it caused countless screams at the scene.

Needless to say, Master Huan, Zhang Ning and Zhuang Ziqing are also very popular in China.

There's no way, beauty, every move attracts the attention of the outside world!

Surrounded by bodyguards, the three entered the venue.

In the venue, everyone's attention was still focused on the exhibition area and activities, which made them all heave a sigh of relief.

"I have to go to the organizer for a while, and I may have to participate in several activities later."

As soon as he walked into the hall, Zhang Ning said reluctantly.

Who made her the CEO of WeChat now?
"Hey, it's okay, you can go to work, Ziqing and I will look around by ourselves, and we will go to see Zicheng by the way."

In this exhibition, the team led by Zhuang Zicheng is the most important protagonist!

"Well, then I'll go first, see you later!"

"See you later!"
