When February 20th came, Southampton fans poured into the St. Paul's Stadium. Many people were complaining when they entered the stadium, because as Southampton's results got better and better,
The supply of tickets at St. Mary's Stadium has begun to exceed demand.
Although you can also watch the game on pay TV, it is still not as exciting as watching the game live.
And the fees for pay TV are not low, which is why many Premier League fans like to go to bars to watch football. One or two beers don’t cost much, and they can watch football together in an atmosphere, which is much more cost-effective than opening a pay channel at home.
Already.
Even if you can buy a package ticket, it is cheaper than pay TV.
So now Southampton fans have a high demand for game tickets, and they all hope to get the opportunity to watch the game live.
But it is a pity that the St. Mary's Stadium cannot be expanded, and the new players are just a plan in Jiya's mind, and it will not be completed within a few years.
And even if they buy a package ticket, it is only a home package package for Premier League games. Away games require extra money. The FA Cup and League Cup are usually sold before games, and this is especially true for Champions League games.
Ticket prices for Premier League teams are the most expensive in London, and are worse in other cities. However, tickets in Southampton are not cheap. After all, Southampton is a port city. Although it is small, the income of its residents is not low, so the ticket price is higher.
, they can also afford it.
So as long as Southampton performs well, the ticket revenue is still very guaranteed.
When the fans entered the field, the players had already completed their warm-up and returned to the field, ready to face the game.
The weather is good today, very suitable for playing football.
"I have already got the starting lineup for Bayern. Goalkeeper Neuer and Lahm return to the right back position, left back Alaba, center backs Boateng and Dante, Martinez serves as the defensive midfielder, and Gotze comes on the left.
, Robben is still on the right, Kroos and Thiago partner in the middle, Mandzukic comes forward, and there is no difference from what we guessed."
Noriya told the players in the locker room, and the players applauded. Although guessing the opponent's starting lineup is not a big deal, it is still an inspiring thing.
Bayern's lineup is of course very complete. Compared with the lineup that won the Triple Crown last season, their main signings this season are Thiago and Gotze, and then sold Gomez, Gustavo, Ji
Moshchuk, Emre Can and other players, despite the streamlining of players, are basically the players that Guardiola is optimistic about.
However, Noriya is also very confident in his lineup. Although because the players are generally young, they have not been able to truly display their top level, but they can already see the prototype of a top team.
.
"This is the second time we play against each other this season... our luck will be better this time." Ji Ya said when shaking hands with Guardiola.
"I hope so. These two games should be very exciting." Guardiola replied. His temperament is quite good. As a double champion with good results as a former player and coach, Guardiola is actually a double champion.
He is still very elegant and eloquent, neither humble nor arrogant, and quite approachable.
He is not as attractive to the media as Mourinho, but overall, he seems to be better.
As a former superstar, he has always been very serious and reliable in training. Messi can fully utilize his talents. In fact, he also has a lot of credit. If Guardiola had not served as Barcelona's coach in the summer of 2008,
As for the coach, Messi may not be able to reach his current level.
After returning to his position, Noriya waited for the game to start. Players from both sides were already scattered on the field. They were all in good condition, full of energy and in good condition.
Southampton was in the FA Cup on the weekend, and none of their main players played. Bayern also rotated most of their main players, but they still defeated mid-table Hannover 96 4-0 away from home. Bayern's advantage in the Bundesliga is indeed too great.
Big.
They were previously suppressed by Dortmund for two years, but after Dortmund began to gradually decline, their advantage began to become unstoppable.
The head coach of the German national team Loew appeared in the stands to watch the game, but the local media in England were quite mocking about his arrival. Many people asked Hodgson why he didn't come to watch the game. After all, Nan'an
There are also England internationals in Purton, such as the two full-backs Luke Shaw and Klein...
Of course, these two full-backs, the local players trained by Southampton have basically left, Lallana, Lambert, Chamberlain, Chambers... They have all been selected for the England national team, but now they have all left.
Not a Southampton player anymore.
"I thought too, what can I do if I can't find good local players?" Ji Ya thought in his heart.
Game start.
Although it was an away game, Bayern was still in excellent form. The first shot in this game was taken by Bayern.
Only two minutes into the game, after a pass in the midfield, Cross received a pass from his teammate. Seeing that no one was coming to defend him, he decisively took a long shot 25 meters away from the goal!
Before the game started, Guardiola warned that Southampton's overall team had nothing to exploit, but Navas still seemed a little short, and Bayern has many players who are excellent at long-range shots, so they can boldly try more long-range shots.
Casemiro's interference was delayed a step, and the ball kicked by Kroos whizzed towards the upper right corner of the goal. Navas reacted immediately, moved his feet for two consecutive steps, then jumped up, stretched out his hand in the air, and took aim.
The ball was coming, and then he pushed the ball out of the bottom line with force.
The power and angle of this shot were good. Navas did not dare to neglect it and chose to push the ball out of the baseline instead of catching it. This is where he was cautious.
Noriya nodded off the court. Navas has become Southampton's main goalkeeper in the British Championship. Until now, Noriya has never thought about buying a goalkeeper to take his place. Of course, it is because Navas is really safe to use.
.
Although he is from the small country of Costa Rica and has little commercial value, Southampton's business has not yet developed to the point where it is necessary to introduce players from big countries or domestic players.
Kroos took a corner kick, Otamendi jumped in front of Mandzukic and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Robben intercepted the ball outside the penalty area, and then suddenly took a long shot. Casemiro blocked it immediately.
, blocked the ball with his body.
Southampton got the ball, and Bayern's players began to press while gradually retreating.
"We really need to strengthen our long-range shots. Do you want to bully our goalkeeper for not being tall enough? That's too much to think about." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
