Chapter 710 I'm Back!
Some people say that if you want to become a qualified head coach, you must first become a qualified gambler.
This means that in certain games and games, the head coach had to change the situation in a gambling way, such as Benitez in the Miracle of Istanbul and Ferguson in 199.
The only difference is that these people have won the bet, so they have achieved success and fame, and have been recorded in history, becoming well-known famous coaches all over the world.
But Mancini was in trouble. Looking at his life many times in the past, he lost his life again and again.
After Hazard scored the first goal in Southampton in the first half, Galatasaray did not collapse, but immediately stabilized the situation under the advice of head coach Mancini and defended the zero-to-one score to the end.
But the problem lies in the second half.
Before the game started, Mancini replaced a midfielder and replaced Dutch winger Amrabonte.
It is obvious that this is a gambler-style substitution, and Mancini is going to bet on Bielsa's life!
Since it is a gambling life, there must be a matching tactic, so Galatasaray played more proactively after the second half.
But Southampton is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and soon seized an opportunity in the back and forth battle.
Varane made a long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, German central defender Baulta made a header and cleared the ball, and the ball fell to the left.
Suarez quickly inserted it, faced the ball, and without waiting for it to land, he sent it forward and sent the ball behind Xie Zhu.
Of course, Ibrahimovic would not miss such a god-given opportunity. It was like a heavy tank that broke through Xie Zhu and broke into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he shot hard and broke through Galatasaray's goal again, 2-0!
But neither the Italians nor the Turks believed in evil.
While falling behind two goals, he continued to attack Southampton.
Perhaps, they think that if they want to lose, losing two goals is losing, and losing three goals is losing. Maybe there will be a chance if they try.
But what team is Southampton?
Meeting the stronger is the characteristic of Southampton!
Less than seven minutes after Ibrahimovic scored the goal, there was another counterattack. Modric got the ball in the midfield and passed it straight behind him. Hazard counterattacked into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he cleverly dunked over the goalkeeper who attacked, went down to the bottom line and passed the back point. Suarez arrived, and the header touched the ball and entered the net!
Three to zero!
But just two minutes after the third goal, Hazard made another forced breakthrough on the left and tripped by Ebue. The referee showed a yellow card without hesitation and gave a serious warning, giving Southampton a chance to have a good frontcourt free kick.
Tony Kroos took the penalty. In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic grabbed the first landing point and headed the ball to the goal, but the ball hit the opponent's body. After rebounding and landing, Suarez, who was inserted behind, picked up a bargain in front of the goal and pushed the ball, scoring again, four to zero!
The audience suddenly became silent!
All the fans were stunned and stared at everything that happened on the court, as if it was a nightmare!
This is hell, but it is hell for all Galatasaray fans!
After that, Southampton pursued the visiting team's demeanor and began to slow down the pace of the game. After all, the four-to-zero score can already ensure that the team reaches the quarterfinals in advance, so the Saints do not intend to continue to force the home team.
Bielsa also made substitutions one after another, such as Kovacic replaced Modric, Kaka replaced Pogba, and then Sanchez replaced Suarez, who scored twice.
In this way, Southampton's frontcourt became a combination of Hazard, Ibrahimovic and Sanchez, while the midfield became a combination of Kovacic, Kaka and Tony Kroos.
This is also a move by Bielsa to consider retaining her power for the Premier League.
But unexpectedly, Galatasaray took advantage of the substitution of Southampton and suddenly launched a snatch.
On Southampton, many substitutes were eager to prove their strength and performed very actively, especially when Sanchez and Kaka were on the right side, they created several threats in a row as soon as they came on the court.
Whether Sanchez breaks through, cuts in, or scores into the penalty area, he threatens to be no less than Aza on the left, especially behind him, who is also eager to prove himself again.
But Sanchez was a little impatient. He entered the penalty area twice, threatening Galatasaray's goal, but once he turned into anti-aircraft guns, and once he missed the pass opportunity, resulting in Southampton's defeat in offense.
And these two attacks came from Kaka's passing planning.
Perhaps seeing Sanchez's mentality is a bit unbalanced, Kaka next chose to cooperate with Ibrahimovic.
After the Swedish center pulled out of the penalty area, he received a pass from Kaka and turned around and passed the ball to the left.
After Hazard quickly inserted, he passed the ball in front of the bottom line to the goal. Kaka, who had just passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, had already rushed to the goal quietly.
When the ball arrives, the person arrives, and you will get a light push!
"Wow!!! Kaka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After the Brazilian superstar scored the goal, he rushed into the goal with excitement, picked up the ball, hugged it tightly in front of his chest, lowered his head and kissed it, then turned around and rushed out of the court.
Anyone can tell that Kaka is very excited and excited!
He hasn't scored a goal in the Champions League for too long!
I'm afraid many people have forgotten it and no longer look forward to it!
But now, he is back!
Although this is not St. Mary's Stadium, he can still hear those voices supporting him!
It was very weak, but he could hear it very clearly!
Yang Huan in the stands also applauded vigorously after Kaka scored the goal.
"It's not easy, it's not easy!" Yang Huan said with emotion at Platini.
Of course, Platini, who was a player, knows better than anyone else. It is indeed not easy for Kaka to return to the arena and perform like this.
Especially in the Premier League in January and February, Kaka performed quite eye-catching.
Southampton's schedule for December and January this season is a devil. In just two months, it will play in the Champions League group stage, the domestic League Cup, the FA Cup, and eleven Premier League games.
As a result, Southampton, who won the top spot in the group early, played in the last group match of the Champions League, and scored a draw.
After that, both the League Cup and the FA Cup were all substitutes and young teams, and they were both steadily won.
But in eleven league games, they encountered five strong rivals between Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal. Among them, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Chelsea were still concentrated on the Christmas schedule, which was quite cruel.
What's the result?
Except for the draw of Tottenham Hotspur after Christmas, Southampton won all other games!
Especially when playing Chelsea at home on New Year's Day on January 1, Southampton defeated Chelsea three-to-zero home goals with three goals from Ibrahimovic, Kaka and Oscar.
Later, when he played West Bromwich, Southampton was in poor form. At the critical moment, Kaka, who came on the bench, scored another winning goal for Southampton. This goal, Kaka even showed everyone his long-distance running style at his peak moment.
Later, he played at home at the end of January. After scoring twice and being equalized by the Gunners, Kaka's final victory was another 3-2 at home!
After February, the state of Southampton's main lineup generally recovered, and the teams they encountered were not strong. The teams were very ruthless when they were abused, and even scored big scores in succession, Kaka's performance also declined.
But with his amazing performance in January, Kaka can announce his return to everyone!
But tonight, in Istanbul, a city that he once created a brilliant peak, he used the Champions League goal to shout to all the Champions League fans, I'm back!
"It seems that Kaka is going to be resurrected in Southampton!" Platini laughed.
As a former professional player and a player from Serie A, Platini has a very good impression of Kaka.
Yang Huan nodded, but felt a little moved.
So far this season, the Premier League has held 26 rounds, and Southampton scored an impressive record of 23 wins, two draws and one loss, and scored 71 points, far ahead of the standings.
Arsenal is currently ranked second in the standings, with only 56 points, while Manchester City ranked third with 54 points, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur tied for fourth, both 53 points, but Liverpool has more goal difference.
Boas is also controversial now. With a lineup like Tottenham Hotspur, he played very badly in offense. He only scored 36 goals in the 26 rounds of the league, forty fewer than Southampton, thirty-two fewer than Manchester City, and thirty fewer than Liverpool.
If it's just a poor offense, then that's fine, but Tottenham Hotspur's defense conceded 32 goals, not only losing to the teams ahead of him, but even Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and other teams behind him lost.
Everyone also concluded that with Boas's performance so badly, the get out of class will be dismissed after the end of this season.
Hamad and Daniel Levi also called before, and Yang Huan also said that Boas must be dismissed.
Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur has quietly started the coach selection process, and is secretly contacting several Italians. Without exception, they are all famous coaches in Europe.
Arsenal was 15 points ahead of the second place. He had not finished playing in February, but almost everyone thought that Southampton had won the championship ahead of schedule, but only Yang Huan knew that it was actually a lucky person behind this.
Needless to say, Kaka is the one who did well in the Christmas schedule and the players who performed well in January, Oscar was not originally in Southampton's plan. If Horabchin had not recommended himself, the Brazilian midfielder would probably not have come to Southampton.
Nastasic and Kovacic were almost sent to Inter Milan during the winter break.
But it was the outstanding performance of these players that formed a strong and powerful addition between the main lineup and rookies such as Ravel Morrison and Pogba, ensuring that Southampton can spend the winter break and the devil's schedule stably.
Yang Huan really couldn't imagine that if Kaka had serious injuries and could not heal, if Oscar didn't come, if Nastasic and Kovacic were really sent to Inter Milan, Southampton might collapse during the winter break.
Therefore, even though Yang Huan was reluctant to admit it, he still had to admit it, and there was some luck here.
But at the same time, he also believes that this experience is very valuable to everyone in the team.
At least, Southampton has a further understanding of the difficulty of the winter break and the devil's schedule.
Just when Yang Huan was afraid, there was another change on the court.
Oscar passed the ball accurately and sent the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet in the penalty area.
The Swedish center, who was closely guarded by the opponent's players, used his strong physical fitness and exquisite footwork to make continuous movements in the penalty area. After shaking a gap, he shot vigorously and scored again.
Six to zero!
Galatasaray is finished!
It's completely finished!
Chapter completed!
