Southampton scored four goals in the first half, but his performance remained unabated after the second half started.

However, although Manchester United was defeated, Giggs replaced two defensive players in a row during the break. In addition, the Saints were already sure to win, slowed down the offensive and strengthened control, so the score was finally locked at 4-0.

In the second half, the Saints didn't score a single goal.

But just because of the bombardment in the first half and Messi's hat trick, this game is worth the price!

It turned out that according to the British arrangement, on the night of the third day of the Chinese leaders' visit to the UK, a Chinese-English version of the manor meeting should be held at Prime Minister Chex's Villa in Aylesbury, northwest London.

But later, the idea was changed temporarily and the meeting was chosen at the underwater hotel in Southampton.

This is not a meeting in the manor, but a meeting in the sea.

With this meeting, media around the world immediately reported and paid attention to the title of the Southampton Undersea Hotel will surely become world-famous for this meeting between Chinese and British leaders.

The meeting time is scheduled after the Saints and Manchester United matches.

As the host, Yang Huan attended the dinner party of the leaders of the two countries, and early the next morning, he gave the leaders of the two countries a gift to Southampton, while the eldest son took a plane to Manchester at Southampton Airport.

The originally planned visit to the football club in Manchester has now been cancelled.

The leaders of China and Britain gathered in Southampton to live in the underwater hotel. In addition, the Saints defeated Manchester United 4-0 at home and won nine consecutive Premier League wins, which became the focus of reports from major media around the world the next day.

Such a meeting between Chinese and British leaders brought Southampton, a harbor city on the south coast of England, once again into the world's sight. All talents discovered that there was such a dreamy building at the place where the Titanic set sail.

As a result, Southampton's undersea hotels became a hot topic of attention for tourists from all over the world.

In the Premier League, the Saints have won nine consecutive victories in the % Super League standings with this four-to-zero game, but since Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Arsenal both won this round, the Saints' lead did not further widen.

Van Gaal's North London team was at home, and with Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, he beat Liverpool 1-0. The Portuguese scored consecutive goals in the Premier League, which was unstoppable.

In this year's Premier League scorer list, Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez are two players who are leading the way, but since Suarez did not score in this round, the Portuguese temporarily ranks first in the scorer list.

But many media believe that Messi's strong comeback will bring more suspense to the Premier League scorer list.

Manchester City defeated Bournemouth five-to-one with Abu Bakar's two shots and one pass, and Stirling's hat-trick, which also allowed Manchester City to surpass Tottenham Hotspur and ranked second in the league standings, second only to Southampton.

Arsenal defeated Watford three to zero and ranked fourth in the league. Leicester City, who is raving, jumped to fifth in the league, Crystal Palace ranked sixth in the league, and Manchester United lost a crushing defeat, ranking fell to seventh in the league.

The Reds Liverpool's situation is even worse, ranking tenth in the league.

Although Chelsea won this round, they are still ranked 16th in the league and are only one step away from the relegation zone.

This also made many fans joke about Chelsea that the main goal this season should be relegation.

Judging from the current Premier League standings, it is completely foreseeable that Leicester City and Crystal Palace should find it difficult to maintain this momentum until the end of the season, and their rankings will decline as the season deepens.

Their biggest weakness is their weak point.

When the winter break and after talking to more powerful teams, they will experience weakness in succession.

But in any case, the outstanding performance in the first nine rounds of this season has brought great attention and influence to both teams.

Southampton is still the number one favorite to win the championship this season, but Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur also have a chance, while Arsenal and Manchester United are going to fight for the top four in the league.

The only regrettable thing is that the two traditional strong teams, Liverpool and Chelsea, have fallen, but teams like Leicester City, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United, are also a good thing for the Premier League.

At least, add some suspense and upset, right?

After playing the ninth round of the Premier League, the Saints set off for Paris, France to participate in the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Paris Saint-Germain is in full swing with Monaco in the Ligue 1 this season for the league championship.

Ronald Koeman's team has not changed much in defense this summer. After Costa Rica goalkeeper Navas switched to Real Madrid, the team introduced Timo Horn from Columbia.

The entire defense line still maintained the level of last season, but the midfielder sold older players such as Biglia, Tularang, and Capue, and introduced three young players who were more shaped when they were playing.

In addition, Hernandez and Mbappe were introduced on the front line and sold the disappointing Benzia.

This is also impossible.

Originally, the team had a lot of money to poach Benzia from Lyon because they thought that the young player had the potential of Benzema, but as a result, his progress was limited, and the players' own problems eventually led to Monaco having to give up and send him away.

At the beginning of this season, Monaco won three consecutive victories. Although the team had many problems, they won steadily.

But in the fourth round of the league, Monaco lost to Paris Saint-Germain at his home court, giving up his position as the league leader in vain.

This battle has brought Monaco and Ronald Koeman to great criticism and pressure.

However, Monaco's management, led by Michael Bolingbrook and Jean Luc Bissin, expressed their support for Ronald Koeman in a high-profile manner and believed that he could lead the team out of the shadow.

Although Monaco's performance was not ideal in the next two rounds, one win and one loss, widening the gap with Paris Saint-Germain.

But after thinking about the pain, Ronald Koeman quickly found the team's key to victory. In the following four rounds, the team won four consecutive victories, including many of which were a 6-0 away game to break Gungang, a 3-0 home game to break Rennes, and a 4-1 home game to beat Lyon.

However, although Monaco won consecutive victories, Paris Saint-Germain's performance was not bad either.

Although Bordeaux and Lance tied in the fourth and fifth rounds of the league, Paris Saint-Germain won all the games in the following games.

Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain is still ahead of the Ligue 1 standings, and Monaco is two points behind and ranked second.

But there is no doubt that the championship battle between the two teams has completely become fierce.

At this time, Southampton was visiting the Princes Park Stadium. In addition to winning the third victory in the Champions League group stage and defending the top spot in the group, he also shouldered the burden of breaking the unbeaten golden body of Paris Saint-Germain for Monaco.

At the beginning of the game, the Saints attacked with all their might and snatched wildly.

In this game, Sanchez replaced Suarez to start. Because the latter participated in national team competitions in a row and then participated in the match against Manchester United after returning, he had to take a turn for the rest.

As a result, in the 16th minute, Sanchez made a forced breakthrough on the right, and Hazard followed up with a push shot from the left, piercing through Paris Saint-Germain's goal.

Paris Saint-Germain consciously strengthened its defense, and the defense line led by Thiago Silva and David Luis arranged the defense very closely, and Southampton would not find any opportunity for the moment.

In the second half, Kovacic replaced the injured Tony Cross, and Ancelotti had to let the team slow down the offensive.

Paris Saint-Germain seized the opportunity, put a big push and strengthened the offense.

But in the 67th minute, Chambers from the right made a wonderful pass, and Messi forced himself to break through David Louis with his strong personal ability, scoring a single goal, 2-0.

After that, Paris Saint-Germain was not willing to be outdone and pushed up again. However, Valane made a long pass from the backcourt in the 78th minute, and Messi easily defeated the offside and scored again, three to zero!

This goal also completely sentenced Paris Saint-Germain to death!

The Princes Park Stadium was silent like death. Everyone couldn't believe it and looked at the scores on the court. The team they thought they were already very powerful was actually sieve by the Saints from England at their doorstep.

The three-to-zero score shows the strength gap between the two teams.

In the end, the Saints successfully took three to zero and escaped from the Princes Park Stadium, leaving behind the depression and melancholy of Paris Saint-Germain, and even a little reflection.

French media even said after the game that there is only one Messi missing between Paris Saint-Germain and Southampton!

But is it just one Messi away?

Returning to the Premier League from the European arena, the Saints quickly headed north and defeated the Reds Liverpool 2-0 with goals from Messi and Suarez.

Although Liverpool's league ranking was still tenth after this game, the defeat to Southampton by two goals still made the Reds feel depressed.

Coincidentally, Chelsea lost to West Ham United 1-2 away in this round, and their rankings fell by one place again.

But Tottenham Hotspur in North London beat Bournemouth five-1 away, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and topped the table.

This also surprised the British media, but also hyped up, believing that Messi and Suarez could only compare to Cristiano Ronaldo together.

That's right, if we look at the current number of goals scored by both sides, this is indeed the case.

However, when Messi was interviewed by Charlene Lahry, he responded publicly, saying that he was in very good shape and would definitely score no fewer goals.

"The competition between me and Cristiano has just begun!"

Suarez also publicly expressed his unwillingness to be outdone in an interview with the Times.

"Everyone thinks that the Sagittarius King should be Cristiano, or Leo, but why no one says it's me?"

"I hope to break this perception of others!"

However, some media analysts believe that since Messi's return, Suarez's goal has been curbed and no longer enjoys the opportunities created by Saints players like before.

Therefore, many media believe that whether it is Messi or Suarez, to catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo, you must have unlimited firepower in the team like the Portuguese.

But head coach Ancelotti obviously doesn't think so.

When the British media, even media and fans around the world were hyping and paying attention to the goal battle between Messi, Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo, Sun Yue suddenly came to Southampton.

He also brought a very important news, which made Yang Huan sigh helplessly.
Chapter completed!
