Ancelotti met his former owner again, and did not have the slightest mercy, and played the main force in the Glory Stadium.

After that, Sanchez and Fabregas respectively assisted Suarez and scored two goals, and the Uruguayan striker performed a hat trick.

In the end, the Saints defeated Juventus 4-0 at home and won the Champions League group stage.

After the Bianconers hated the Glory Stadium, coach Allegri had to admit after the game that the team was inferior.

Allegri is full of praise for compatriot Ancelotti's team and believes that the Saints are the most competitive team in Europe.

"Ancelotti made the Saints more unpredictable, and he surprised us all."

The Juventus coach has spoken highly of it and has also been widely recognized by European football experts.

Ancelotti's transformation of the saints has gradually shown its effect.

Compared with Bielsa's emphasis on offense and almost lifeless offensive football, Ancelotti pays more attention to control and offensive and defensive balance.

The legendary Italian coach Arigo Sacchi spoke highly of Ancelotti's achievements after coaching Southampton in a column in Gazzetta dello Sport. He believes that Ancelotti has injected his own ideas into the Saints. ┠┟┡To read┞book.`1-k/a^

"As the best and strongest team in Europe in the past two seasons, any coach coaching the Saints will be regarded as a big challenge. It is not easy to make fans forget Bielsa, but I think Ancelo Di is doing well."

"In the past many years, Britain has been pursuing a larger tactical system. In fact, we call this a positional warfare."

"It took Bielsa several years to infuse the concept of positional warfare and his offensive football into the blood of the Saints. He took the Saints from the original third-level league team all the way to the European hegemon. It's not easy."

"Like all positional warfare concepts, how to create an advantage in a local area is also Bielsa's pursuit. He is full of forward offense and wants to create an advantage behind every oppressive line of defense of his opponent."

"This so-called advantage can be said to be an advantage in numbers, that is to say, in a specific period of time, in a specific area, through the transfer of the ball, the active running of the players, and the smart choice of positions to create It is the most tireless pursuit of any positional warfare to produce an unmarked free man."

"The same goes for Bielsa!"

"And we can see that after many years of exhibition, especially after Guardiola's great achievements in Barcelona, ​​the development of positional warfare has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the advantage has been established in the process of advancing from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This It has become very important in the battle of positions."

"During Bielsa’s time, the Saints’ defense played a vital role in the entire team’s tactical system. Even goalkeeper Neuer was in the team’s tactical part. The scavenger goalkeeper who went outside the restricted area completely overturned the world’s understanding of goalkeepers in the past. ╠┞┣╣ depends on the book ╬┢┣╣., 1=”

"This is a crazy choice. No goalkeeper has ever done this, but Bielsa chose Neuer. Even in order to better display Neuer's ability in this aspect, the Saints have made a lot of money. Hired the former Schalke zero four youth goalkeeper coach, Lothar Matusak came to Southampton to train all the goalkeepers of Neuer and Saints."

"As far as I know, the training that this German youth goalkeeper coach is best at is the player's position, as well as adjusting his position through small steps and a lot of straddling moves."

"They believe that through this small side step, the goalkeeper and the ball are always kept in a straight line. At critical moments, the center of gravity moves to the front foot and suddenly increases, which can fully improve Neuer's defense when facing the opponent's attacking players. ability."

"In fact, Bielsa and Neuer did a pretty good job."

"Although, as the most daring goalkeeper ever, Neuer still bears the risk of losing control and giving up the goal, but at the same time he expands his defensive area to make the defense position more forward and the formation more compact. The oppression of the team is also more aggressive."

"However, our compatriot, the smart Ancelotti, is like all Italian coaches. They all believe that it is not enough to rely on players, and that tactics should be used to solve the hidden dangers of Neuer to a minimum."

"In the positional battle, the players of the two teams are arranged on the court in a staggered manner, staggering back and forth, attacking and defending each other."

"Ancelotti believes that players occupy key areas at specific moments. When attacking, they are conducive to creating a regional advantage. The attack will be closer and faster, and the ball will be more stable. The occupation of the team is conducive to the team’s good stance structure and facilitates the implementation of high position oppression. ?≈To see?≤Book∧⊥⊥·1┼k╋anshu·c·c"

"In this case, offense and defense are integrated, regardless of each other."

"Obviously, Ancelotti, my great student, he has injected this essence of Italian football into the tactics of the Saints, so we will see that the Saints this season are not only sharp offensive. The defense has improved significantly, and the overall lineup structure has become more compact, orderly and rigorous."

"The first three lines are like a copper wall and iron wall, firmly oppressing the opponent, restricting the opponent's attack, cutting the opponent's line, so that Neuer behind him is no longer so easy to directly face the opponent's attack, so the German goalkeeper gets Understand the release and take on more offensive and organizational responsibilities."

"In the game against Juventus, we even saw Neuer unwilling to be lonely at halftime, but Juventus looked at the empty goal behind, but couldn't get the ball in."

The Saint not only received high praise from Saki, but also received high recognition from other European celebrities.

The key is not the Saints' winning streak, but the stable, efficient, and desperate ability to kill opponents and the game that Ancelotti's team has built in the game.

Three days after the end of the first round of the Champions League group match against Juventus, the Saints returned to the Glory Stadium in Southampton and once again broke the visiting Leicester City team four to zero, winning five straight.

But what is even more frightening is that in the middle of the week, Southampton ushered in the fourth round of the league make-up, with a 5-0 home victory over Norwich.

At the weekend, the Saints once again sat at home and ushered in Swansea.

Less than two minutes into the game, Southampton broke Swansea's goal with a powerful shot from left-back David Alaba.

In the second half, Sanchez and Harry Kane scored successively, three to zero, and once again achieved a win.

Seven games, seven consecutive victories!

But this is not the most surprising. What is truly shocking is the dominance displayed by the saints.

In seven games, not a single ball was lost, which is terrible!

The English League has just begun, and the Saints have played such an astonishing momentum of terror. This is simply to make all the competitors feel desperate!

But just as the British and European media were marveling at the Saints’ winning streak, in the second match of the Champions League group stage, the Saints challenged Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. As a result, Pogba took the lead in the opening three minutes. A powerful shot in the penalty area set the record for the Saints.

In the fourteenth minute, Di Maria made an offside single-handed move to expand the score for the Saints to two to zero.

Entering the second half, Suarez, Di Maria and Kovacic, who came off the bench, scored three goals for the Saints and broke Wolfsburg 5-0.

This stunned the entire Europe!

Even more frightening is that the Saints shot a total of 38 shots in this game, and the possession rate is as high as 63%. This is simply a bombardment around Wolfsburg. , Only five goals are considered less!

The entire European football scene was stunned!

Everyone can't imagine that the Saints actually had such a sturdy record at the start of the new season and after a coaching change. This is simply going against the sky!

What's even more incredible is that Messi didn't even appear in all the achievements of the Saints.

If Messi played this game, wouldn't Southampton be even more against the sky?

Ever since, all fans around the world are frantically discussing the Saints. Almost everyone believes that the new season's English League champions are none other than the Saints. In the new season of the Champions League, the Saints are also well-deserved number one. Popular.

However, when the saints are widely hyped around the world, there is no lack of doubts.

For example, the famous British columnist Martin Samuel pointed out in his column that ~www.readwn.com~ The saints’ advancement is indeed amazing, but it must be noted that both Juventus and Wolfsburg It is not a strong European team. Juventus has been weak for many years and has suffered serious loss of players. Especially this season, after Pirlo has gone, the midfield has been very weakened.

Wolfsburg is a newcomer to the Champions League and lacks experience. It is not surprising that the defeat is.

As for the inside of the English League, Southampton has not encountered a top four team so far. Although Everton is good, his performance this season is not ideal.

So, in summary, the Saints’ winning streak seems unstoppable, but in fact it is not terrible.

"Ancelotti's team still needs the test of a truly strong team!"

"In the eighth round of the league, the Saints stayed at Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea. In the third round of the Champions League group stage, the Saints stayed at the Parc des Princes and challenged Paris Saint-Germain. This is the real highlight!"

At the same time, there are some problems within the Saints.
