Chapter 549: Ronaldo finds his shooting boots

A victory over Manchester United would not allow Southampton to immediately qualify for the EFL Cup final.

Because the semi-finals are two rounds, there is still the next game.

And a small victory with one goal is not too safe.

But this victory is of great significance to the Southampton team.

Mainly psychological.

This victory allowed the Southampton team to dissipate the haze of being unable to win.

"If you can win one game, you can keep winning."

Sun Yi was also very happy. He saw that the players' confidence was recovering, the team's morale was also picking up, and many players' conditions were also recovering.

For Sun Yi, this is something more gratifying than victory.

If he was still in the same state as before, he would really go crazy.

You know, Southampton will have an important game soon.

However, before that, Southampton still has the opportunity to continue to improve its status.

Next, Southampton will return to the league to start their twenty-third round match.

This time the opponent is Wolves.

Don't underestimate the Wolves. In the past two seasons, the Wolves have looked like they are on the rise.

So far in the Premier League, Wolves are ranked seventh.

This position can only be occupied by strong teams.

Therefore, the Wolves are now considered a strong team.

And due to Southampton's recent performance, the Wolves are more confident than before.

They were wondering if they could take points away from St. Mary's Stadium.

They are not greedy either, just one point is enough.

But for Southampton, this is insatiable.

Not only did he not want to surrender, but he actually wanted to score points? This is too much!

Failure to take all three points at St. Mary's was a failure against Southampton.

Although Southampton has been drawn three times this season, none of them was at St. Mary's Stadium.

“Guard Saint Mary and keep the winning spirit.”

That became Southampton's mantra for the game.

With this in mind, Southampton quickly started this game at St. Mary's Stadium.

Ambitious people are more motivated.

The ambitious Wolves are indeed very ambitious. He was very confident and positive in the game.

It looked like they really wanted to take points away from St Mary's.

However, the Wolves soon discovered that they seemed to be thinking a little too simply.

Because the Southampton team performed better than in previous games. Every player who takes the field is obviously more active than before.

Under such circumstances, Southampton naturally quickly gained the upper hand.

In order to achieve their ambition of taking away points from St. Mary's, the Wolves played very hard after falling into the wind.

And their hard work also aroused Southampton's desire to win.

In my territory, I can't kill you yet. Where to put this face?

"This is St. Mary's, get 'em."

"Victory must be ours."

Supported by the desire to win, Southampton is playing better and better. Especially in terms of offense, the performance is obviously much better than before.

This made Sun Yi nod with satisfaction.

"Hmm~ Not bad. Judging from this situation, it can already reach 50% or 60% of its previous performance."

Southampton's 50% to 60% offensive firepower cannot be easily blocked by the Wolves.

The 50% to 60% that Sun Yi said only refers to the offensive strength of the entire Southampton team.

In fact, when it comes to the players on the field, Ronaldo performed 100%.

The repeated misses in the first two games have already made Ronaldo very angry.

At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo was worried that he would be like before, unable to shoot no matter how hard he shot. Therefore, they don’t dare to shoot.

But after playing for about ten minutes, after he couldn't help but try a kick, he completely let go.

Although the shot missed, it was of high quality.

This made Ronaldo feel like he had regained his shooting touch.

Later, when there was an opportunity, he no longer hesitated. To move the leg is to kick it.

This lack of hesitation allowed him to successfully convert his second shot in the field into a goal.

Seeing the ball rolling into the goal, Ronaldo was stunned for a moment at first and couldn't believe it.

After confirming it, he became completely excited.

"Yeah!!! I scored! I finally scored!"

"I've got my goal-scoring feeling back. I want to score more goals!"

Cristiano Ronaldo is not just talking. When he says he wants to score more goals, he really means scoring more goals.

However, just five minutes after the first goal, Ronaldo scored again.

This time he didn't even use his feet. He flicked his head while grabbing the point and the ball went in.

"Wow haha~ It's in again."

"This is the second one!"

Ronaldo showed two fingers in the joy of celebration.

"I feel like I can still score goals."

"I want a third. I want a hat trick!"

Ronaldo kept his word, and later, he once again blasted away the Wolves goal.

"Wow!! It's really the third one! Ronaldo's hat trick is completed."

"Oh my god! Cristiano Ronaldo played crazy this time. Before the first half was over, he scored three goals."

"..."

Three goals, a hat-trick in the first half, which made the entire St. Mary's Stadium fans crazy.

They all couldn't help but stood up and shouted Ronaldo's name in unison, and they kept shouting until the end of the first half.

Even Sun Yi couldn't help but join in.

"Damn, Ronaldo finally exploded."

"After holding back for so long, he can finally vent all his firepower."

When he returned to the locker room during the halftime break, Ronaldo was surrounded by the players like a hero. His teammates seemed to have become Ronaldo's fans.

"Hat trick in the first half, this is really crazy!!"

"The real Ronaldo is back!"

"He has found his shooting boots!"

Sun Yi felt that Ronaldo had completely recovered his form, so he was very happy.

However, to his surprise, Ronaldo's explosion did not stop there.

After the start of the second half, Ronaldo continued his performance.

The strong fighting spirit made Ronaldo not satisfied with the hat trick, and he still actively participated in the game.

And his teammates were willing to give the ball to Ronaldo who had found his shooting boots.

Ronaldo did not disappoint.

Although the Wolves had tried their best to defend Ronaldo, they still could not stop his madness.

In the 65th minute of the game, Ronaldo created a free kick opportunity at the front of the penalty area.

Ronaldo personally took the free kick and kicked his signature free kick - the falling leaf kick.
