No! Not yet!

When Real Madrid players walked into the locker room, changed their jerseys, and prepared to go out to warm up, as soon as they entered the stadium, they were immediately shocked by the crazy thunder and thunder at the scene.

Be good, no one in it can understand that feeling at all.

If St. Mary's Stadium is a surging sea of ​​anger, then they are as if they are in this sea of ​​anger, and there is no place around them to rely on their own strength. They can only struggle constantly and rely on their own will to maintain their desire to survive.

If you are a little more courageous, you may feel weak when you walk out of this passage!

"Damn it, is there really only more than 30,000 people?"

"Yes, why do you look dark? There are people everywhere, and no matter how you look, you don't look like you only have 30,000."

"More than 30,000 people have created a more powerful momentum than our Bernabeu, no, it is even bigger than the Camp Nou, which is too awesome!"

"You have to be careful when you look back. Don't get too close to the front row when serving corner kicks and out of the boundary balls. If you are caught in the stands, you will definitely be eaten alive and you won't even find the bones!"

"Look at what you said, it seems like this is a man-eating jungle, but... the momentum is really terrifying."

"Paper tigers are all paper tigers. Let's just pretend they are singing!"

"Damn, are people scolding you? Are you still thinking that you are singing?"

"That's right, this concert is not so big!"

Just as the people from Real Madrid walked out slowly in the player passage and were about to enter the stadium. When they started the last warm-up training before the game, a person ran over in the Southampton crowd who had been training for no reason on the court.

It's Kaka!

"Ha, welcome to St. Mary's Stadium!"

The Brazilian superstar smiled and grinned, revealing his white teeth, looking very friendly.

"Kaka, is this the welcome way for you Saints fans?" asked Cristiano Ronaldo.

He has played in the Premier League for so many years and knows that Premier League fans are very enthusiastic and have been to many so-called devil's home courts, the most fanatical of being Liverpool's Anfield.

But now, St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton gives him the feeling that it is even more fanatical than Anfield!

"It's okay, Cristiano, they are actually just shouting slogans and supporting the team. There's nothing else, you don't have to worry!" Kaka comforted with a smile.

Everyone suddenly cursed.

They are in the same group as you, of course you don’t have to worry, but can we... not worry?

"Okay, that's it, let's work hard, come on!"

After saying that, Kaka ran back to Southampton's half.

Watching Kaka leave the team, everyone present also had some understanding.

When Kaka was in Real Madrid, he never saw him like he was like now, with a heartfelt smile on his face?

After switching to Southampton, although he couldn't play as the absolute main force, his performance was not bad at all.

Especially since entering the second half, Kaka first saved his home in critical moments during the winter break, and then played a significant role in the Champions League knockout stage. Anyone can see that he is getting better in Southampton.

I think I should be very happy, right!

"Okay, let's go and train!" Ramos clapped his hands hard and shouted.

Since Casillas was sent to the cold palace by Mourinho, Ancelotti's status has improved, but it has not been improved. Ramos has gradually become the leader of the Real Madrid locker room.

Almost everyone knows that after Casillas leaves the team, the captain's armband will only belong to Ramos.

But just as everyone walked into the stadium, came to their half and started warm-up training, the fans in the stands immediately got angry.

It is obvious that in the eyes of this group of Saints fans, as long as they can interfere with and affect Real Madrid's preparations, they will do everything they can.

And in the football field, nothing is more influential than sound!

But Real Madrid players have seen the world. The Champions League finals have come, how could they be easily shocked by such a visiting team fans?

So, they quickly adjusted their mindset and began to participate in pre-match training classes.

Ancelotti was always on the sidelines, and his attention was more on Southampton's half.

When he walked into the stadium, the Saints players had obviously started training. So how long did they come here to train? What kind of abacus did Bielsa play?

Also, look at their big list, James Rodriguez and Kaka both entered, who is on?

Three days ago, Southampton was at this stadium, breaking the Magpie Newcastle with a score of 4-0.

This victory almost allowed Southampton to win the Premier League title in advance!

Currently, the Premier League has played 32 rounds, Southampton has 27 wins, three draws and two losses, and has won 84 points, leading the Premier League standings.

The second place is Manchester City, with a record of 23 wins, four draws and five losses, and 11 points behind Southampton; the third place is Arsenal with 71 points, and the next is Tottenham with 69 points, and Chelsea with 67 points.

With six rounds left in the league, the eleven-point lead is undoubtedly quite huge.

But it cannot be said to be a worry-free person, because after being eliminated from the Champions League in recent times, Manchester City has focused on domestic competitions and performed very well, grabbing points and winning streaks, winning streaks and winning streaks, with great momentum to catch up with Southampton.

This once again confirms everyone's speculation before the season. This season's Premier League has finally become a battle between Southampton and Manchester City, but no one would have thought that the Saints' advantage would be so great.

On the contrary, Chelsea is currently ranked fifth. If they cannot counterattack Tottenham Hotspur in the last six rounds, the Blues are likely to miss the Champions League again, which is not good news for Chelsea.

Perhaps because of the obvious leading advantage in the league, Bielsa rotated the roster very calmly, but this also made people feel very confused.

For example, James Rodriguez performed quite well in the league against Newcastle. He was elected as the best player with two passes and one shot. He was in a good state, but will Bielsa arrange for him to play in this game against Real Madrid?

You know, Kaka has also performed very well in recent times, and it is reasonable for anyone to compete with whoever is not.

As Ancelotti frowned and thought about countermeasures, assistant coach Paul Clement came over.

"I just found out that they came to the stadium for warm-up fifteen minutes in advance."

"Fifteen minutes?" Ancelotti frowned even deeper, because he vaguely guessed Bielsa's intentions.

"Does he want to attack after the start?"

Because we plan to adopt the strategy of attacking after the start, we warm up in advance so that players can get into the state earlier from the beginning of the game. This is also the strategy of many teams using attacking tactics.

"It's absolutely possible!" said Paul Clemente.

When he just received this message, he also made such a judgment because only this explanation is reasonable.

"Belsa's tactics have always been very targeted. After the first round of competition, he must have a deeper understanding of us. Our defense is too weak. He will definitely seize this point to make a fuss!"

Ancelotti nodded helplessly.

Real Madrid's weakest link lies in the midfield, especially the midfield defense.

Although Vidal, who is both offensive and defensive, has also transformed Di Maria, the defense problem in the midfield is still very serious. The core crux of the game is that the stars in the frontcourt are unwilling to participate in the counter-attack on the spot.

In other words, the attitude of participating in the defense is not positive.

This makes Real Madrid's midfielder bear heavier defensive pressure than Barcelona, ​​Southampton, and even Arsenal's midfielder.

In this case, the weaknesses of single-middle midfielder Harvey Alonso will be exposed.

Therefore, compared with these teams, it is not difficult to find that Real Madrid's offense is indeed extremely sharp, but its defense is quite weak. Once it encounters a team with super defensive ability and excellent counterattack ability, Real Madrid will only suffer a defeat.

For example, in the league, in this season's Madrid derby, Real Madrid suffered double-killed by Atletico Madrid in both games, and there was a terrible 0-4 game, which directly made Real Madrid lose all face.

Ancelotti is more clear than anyone else. Now that the overall defense is increasingly being emphasized, as long as the frontcourt is still piled with a group of superstars who do not participate in defense, Real Madrid's defense will not improve.

Therefore, if Ancelotti wanted to fight against Southampton head-on, he would not be sure.

The first round of the two sides' match at the Bernabeu Stadium proved this very well.

"What should we do? We must give a strategy as soon as possible!" Paul Clement reminded.

As the chief assistant coach, he must formulate the team's starting tactics as soon as possible.

Should we continue to use the previous arrangements? Or should we make temporary adjustments and changes based on the situation?

This requires Ancelotti, as the head coach, to make a decision as soon as possible.

Ancelotti was also in a dilemma. No matter what decision he made, he was not sure and could only rely on betting.

But he is the best coach in Europe. He knows that he cannot lose his composure at this time, so his mentality in his bones makes him choose a conservative starting tactic.

"Paul, wait in the locker room and tell all players that except for the frontcourt trident, all players will retract. We will leave the trident to fight back in front and support this wave of offensive in Southampton first!"

Just kidding, the Saints' three tricks to open the game are also well-known in European football, and Ancelotti is also worried that he will score, so he must be careful.

Paul Clement thought about it and thought that this was a relatively safe strategy.

Although Real Madrid is a giant, it is St. Mary's Stadium. It is a crucial second round of the quarterfinals knockout match. The strategy is a little conservative, as long as you can get a good result, it is understandable.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away!"

After saying that, Paul Clement immediately turned around and went.

As Ancelotti's plan settled, he, as an assistant coach, had to be busy with more things because he had to adjust the game tasks of each player and his response strategies when the situation changed.

I don’t know if I can make it clear before the player returns to the locker room!

Ancelotti watched his assistant leave, turned around again and looked at the stadium, but found that the Southampton players seemed to be about to finish training.

So fast?

Ancelotti looked at the time and it was indeed a little earlier than usual.

This also strengthened his judgment.
Chapter completed!
