Chapter 563: Barcelona Again

Southampton eliminated Bayern Munich away from home and advanced to the semi-finals.

There was no surprise to the outside world about this result. After all, Bayern Munich had no chance of a comeback except for a miracle after playing like this in the previous round.

What is more impressive is that Sun Yi did not send Cristiano Ronaldo, Balotelli and Van Dijk in this game.

They all sat on the bench until the end of the game.

This makes people have to sigh at the strength of Southampton and Sun Yi's courage.

Sun Yi would do this entirely for the opponent in the next Champions League semi-final.

Otherwise, with his disgust for the Germans, Southampton would definitely make Bayern Munich want to cry.

Sun Yi has been guarding against Barcelona, ​​which is likely to be encountered next.

As a result, it was just as he thought. Barcelona successfully eliminated the opponent and became Southampton's next semi-final opponent.

Now Barcelona is not like last season. It is Southampton's real enemy.

If Barcelona is still the same as they met in the Champions League semi-finals last year, Sun Yi will never be like this.

With De Jong, Mbappe and Griezmann, Barcelona has once again become one of the strongest teams in the world.

After more than half a season of running-in, their new lineup has begun to show extremely terrifying combat effectiveness. Fans began to curse "Dream Three".

Just thinking about it, Sun Yi knows how terrible Barcelona will be.

In order to prepare for this battle with Barcelona, ​​he is not going to spend too much energy in the next few domestic games.

Like the next two Premier League games, Sun Yi is basically based on substitutes.

For core players like Ronaldo, Sun Yi strictly controls their playing time. Just let them stay in a competitive state.

In the two games against Watford and Norwich, Southampton's substitutes also performed well.

They won 2:0 and 2:1 respectively.

This allows Southampton to continue to maintain its leading advantage in the Premier League. Sun Yi does not have to be involved in energy.

Especially the core players can get enough rest, Sun Yi is really satisfied.

Only in the second round of the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea, Sun Yi was more attentive.

However, for the Champions League, Sun Yi was also mentally prepared to not beat Chelsea.

Chelsea continued the last bus tactics.

Their main goal is to drag Southampton into a penalty shootout. In this way, they have a greater chance of defeating Southampton.

It can be said that Chelsea's goal was achieved for most of the second round of the FA Cup.

They used the bus tactics to hold off Southampton's attack.

Considering the Champions League, Sun Yi did not let several core players play the whole game. For example, Ronaldo was replaced by Sun Yi after only playing for 70 minutes.

Let the penalty shootout be a penalty shootout.

Let God decide who can enter the final.

Sun Yi had such an idea.

But to his surprise, after Kaka was sent on the field by him, he actually shot through the Chelsea goal with his special skill "running shot" in the stoppage time.

Then, with Kaka's goal, Southampton eliminated Chelsea and advanced to the FA Cup final.

Sun Yi was very surprised. He was especially surprised by Kaka's performance.

"Sorry, Lampard, I am willing to agree to the decision. But Kaka doesn't want to!"

Sun Yi was very happy to successfully advance to the FA Cup final and win the two Premier League games without going all out. He also had more confidence in facing Barcelona next.

"Here it comes, the battle between Southampton and Barcelona has begun."

As soon as Southampton finished the domestic game, the outside world began to warm up for the collision between the two teams.

Sun Yi pulled the whole team to Spain in advance after finishing the domestic game.

After arriving in Barcelona, ​​Sun Yi first gave the whole team a day off to let everyone relax.

After that, he began to take Southampton to walk on the field and prepare for the game.

During the preparation period, in order to keep it confidential, Sun Yi let the Southampton team conduct closed training throughout the whole process.

Before the match day, Sun Yi had not appeared in front of the outside world except for the pre-match press conference.

In order to prepare for the match, Sun Yi made great efforts, especially conducting a large number of battle simulations.

This made his mental state not very good. He also looked a little tired.

People in the Southampton team were used to Sun Yi looking haggard before the big game, so they didn't think it was a big deal.

But after the outside world took pictures of Sun Yi's appearance, they started to make a fuss.

"The powerful Barcelona team put Sun under great pressure, and the whole person was haggard."

"Look at Sun like this, he has absolutely no confidence in the game."

"It seems that the Barcelona team is too strong. It is so strong that Sun is about to have a mental breakdown."

"What do you mean by about to collapse? Sun has clearly collapsed!"

"Southampton will definitely lose this time as a guest at Camp Nou. They are under too much pressure, and you can tell from Sun as the head coach."

"It's over. It's over. It seems that Southampton will lose!"

"."

The Spanish media are all hyping up that Sun Yi is almost collapsed because of the pressure.

This gave Barcelona great confidence, especially the fans.

"Haha, they are afraid before the battle. Southampton will lose this time in Camp Nou."

"Revenge, we must avenge our elimination in the semi-finals last year."

"What a coincidence. Meeting again in the Champions League semi-finals is definitely God's arrangement. He hopes that our Barcelona team will wash away the shame."

"Restore glory, start with Southampton."

"This time, at Camp Nou, we must bloodbath Southampton!"

"."

The strong strength really makes Barcelona full of confidence. In addition to their fans shouting to beat Southampton as above, their players are also very confident.

Messi said in an interview.

"We are stronger than ever now. Our strength and dominance can be said to have returned to the six-time champion period."

"With such strength, I believe that we will definitely win a victory at Camp Nou this time."

Messi's statement is normal, while Mbappe's speech is more domineering.

"Why do people care so much? This is just an ordinary Champions League game."

"Southampton is just an ordinary opponent. There is no doubt that we can beat them, especially here at Camp Nou. Because I am in the team now."
