Chapter 357

After completing a hat trick in the 37th round, Suarez continued his efforts in the last round. He scored a goal in the game, which brought a perfect end to his performance in the Premier League this season.

He actually played thirty-one games and scored thirty-eight goals.

Although it's still a little worse than Melo, who scored forty or fifty times in those two years, it's still surprising enough!

Southampton's performance was equally surprising.

Thirty-eight rounds, 27 wins, nine draws and two losses, with 90 points. This was the last round with a tie with Manchester United, otherwise their points could have been higher.

Scored 108 goals, conceded 42 goals, and had a goal difference of 66.

They are four points ahead of Manchester City. Liverpool and Chelsea are both 82 points. Due to their goal difference advantage, Liverpool is third and Chelsea is fourth. Arsenal once again missed the Champions League, but their old rival Manchester United is also struggling.

Manchester United is only ranked eighth this season and has not even made it to the Europa League.

This is obviously the head coach's fault.

So Moyes resigned after the end of the season. Manchester United announced that Dutch coach Louis van Gaal would take over Moyes' position and become Manchester United's new head coach.

This has nothing to do with Noriya. What he is preparing for now is just the final of the Champions League.

The Champions League final is on May 25th, and the final round of the league is on May 11th. There is a gap of two weeks, which is enough for Southampton to adjust its condition.

The location of the final is at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, which is slightly disadvantageous to Southampton because they have no Portuguese players in the team, and Ronaldo's reputation in Portugal goes without saying...

But this is only a small disadvantage after all.

"The good thing for us is that Alonso will definitely not be able to play in this game. He is seriously injured. Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are not a big problem. They will definitely be recovered by then. It is impossible for Ancelotti to be like this.

The two of them were not needed in the game. For this game, Cristiano Ronaldo even gave up the King's Cup final. But speaking of that final, did you see Bell's acceleration? It was really wonderful..." said Noriya.

The coaches nodded. Just a few days ago, in the Copa del Rey final, the video of Bell overtaking Batral on the outside of the court, and then breaking into the penalty area and scoring from a small angle went viral on the Internet. He passed the ball to himself five seconds later. Bell's speed

Make people talk about it.

"This guy is in great shape this year, and I'm a little worried that Klein won't be able to withstand him," Noriya said.

"There is no way. Who can withstand such a player? Rudiger? He doesn't have such speed. Even if Jenkinson is good at defense, it will affect the balance of our lineup, so we can only use Rudiger."

Rhine." Benelli said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, this is indeed the truth." Ji Ya nodded.

"Our focus is mainly on offense. Pepe may not be able to play, but the central defender combination of Ramos and Varane is also very good." Pandri said.

"It's okay, we have Suarez. Their defense is very strong in head-to-head confrontation, but it's hard to say in other places. Real Madrid is still offensive on the whole. Gee, they have only scored in the twelve Champions League games so far this season.

He scored a total of thirty-seven goals, which is really a terrible statistic." Noriya said.

"Yes, not only Ronaldo, but others also scored a lot of goals. Needless to say, the goals of the three forwards, Modric's long shot, the center back Ramos's grab, and the two full-backs

assists, these are outstanding players." Benali said.

"So we don't have to worry too much about offense, just focus on our offense. Compared with any team, our offense is not bad. In short, in this final, let them see our offensive capabilities!" Ji

Ya waved his fist.

In the following tactical drills, Southampton will mainly focus on offense. In this way, the players also understand that in this final, they still have to attack!

This made Southampton's players very happy.

Although their goals in the Champions League are not as terrible as Real Madrid's, they still scored a total of 25 goals, averaging more than two goals per game, and the relatively few goals were due to their last round in the group stage.

They sent out all the substitutes but failed to score, and then used defensive counterattack tactics in the two rounds against Barcelona. In the first round against Atletico Madrid, they were tied 0-0 by the opponent. If you calculate carefully, their scoring ability is not bad.

.

So in a single game, compared with Real Madrid's goals, there is nothing to worry about.

Time passed quickly, and the dust of various competitions on the European continent began to settle. The Champions League of the Europa League came out. Without the dominance of Southampton, Sevilla won the Europa League Championship. La Liga finally

The winner was Atletico Madrid, who drew with Barcelona 1-1 in the last round and won the La Liga championship this season. The Copa del Rey went to Real Madrid. For the first time since Guardiola took charge, Barcelona lost all four majors.

The champion of the Bundesliga is Bayern. They won the championship with results that made other teams desperate. The champion of Serie A is Juventus.

Before the World Cup begins, the only thing left that can attract fans' attention is the Champions League final.

The extremely boring media have analyzed the two teams thoroughly. They believe that Southampton will not be inferior to Real Madrid on the whole. In terms of stars, Real Madrid has Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema, but Southampton's Suarez,

The combination of Ronaldo and Lukaku is not inferior at all. In the midfield, De Bruyne has to compete with Modric to see who is the best core midfielder. Southampton's defense is slightly worse, but overall

Their performance was not bad at all.

In terms of goalkeepers, neither goalkeeper is very good. Casillas is in decline now, while Navas is in his prime.

Therefore, overall calculation shows that both sides are evenly matched, and no one can really have a big advantage.

Of course, these are just calculations on paper. In the end, it still depends on the performance of the players on the court.

Southampton came to Lisbon four days in advance to get used to the climate here and then adapt to the venue. This is relatively cheap for Real Madrid because the climate in Madrid and Lisbon is similar, while the climate in Southampton is a bit different.

However, Southampton players are also used to this kind of adaptation.

The Stadium of Light can accommodate 64,000 people, and the tickets allocated to both sides are 20,000. This number is certainly not enough, but under such circumstances, we can only see how the fans grab tickets.

The players did not pay too much attention to their excitement, but were intently waiting for the game to start.

The last game of this season is also the battle for the top.
