As it turns out, after Southampton led, the game was indeed more open.

Pellegrini's team wanted to equalize the score and strive for a goal, but the Saints firmly controlled the situation and refused to relax at all.

After playing back and forth for several rounds, the Saints scored again before the end of the first half.

After Harry Kane retreated and got the ball, he returned to Sturridge.

After getting the ball, the latter quickly penetrated into the penalty area, but he had no chance and could only knock back to the front of the penalty area.

Oscar followed up with the ball, drifted past Yaya Toure, who was hurrying back to defense, and took a curved ball and slung straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

Two to zero!

This score basically sentenced Manchester City to death.

The second half of the game changed sides and fought again. Although Manchester City intends to strengthen the attack, they are afraid of being counterattacked by the Saints, so they never dare to suppress it.

On the other hand, although the Saints are both substitutes and second-team young players, they seem to be at ease on the court.

This is quite difficult!

"Now Southampton reminds me of Manchester United in the early 2000s."

Prince William's sudden words made Yang Huan deeply agree.

"At that time, Manchester United brought the triple-championship, invincible in the Premier League and was very domineering. There were world-class stars such as Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham and Fanny in the team. The overall strength of the team is also second to none in the European arena."

At that time, in addition to the hidden dangers caused by Ferguson's selling of Stam at that time, Manchester United was basically in the midfield and frontcourt, and even compared with teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc., which was no less than that.

"What I felt most deeply from Manchester United in those years was a strong domineering aura, which was a domineering aura established after years of accumulation, allowing them to face challenges directly no matter what their opponents faced."

Yang Huan nodded repeatedly. Manchester United's Red Devil temperament was indeed established over the years.

Very tenacious and domineering, the typical representative is Roy Keane.

Even a creamy boy like Beckham proves that they are not just idols, but powerful ones.

At least Yang Huan has never seen a race running sixteen kilometers to the idol group.

If you carefully analyze Manchester United's triple-champion that year, it is not difficult to find that it is definitely the best manifestation of this domineering spirit.

In addition to the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, there are many exciting reversals against Juventus, the FA Cup, and the Premier League.

How could Manchester United do without super spiritual power?

"Now Southampton is a bit similar to Manchester United at that time. It has outstanding strength, but its temperament is completely different."

When he said this, Prince William smiled slightly, "If you really want to say, the Saints of Bielsa's era are a bit similar to Manchester United, but Ancelotti has injected rationality into the team over the past six months. Now watching the Saints play football is a kind of enjoyment, as if they are enjoying an art."

There is a saying among Chinese people: It is easy to break even if it is too tough.

To put it in the movie, if everything is too exhausted, fate will surely end soon.

Bielsa's football is full of passion and exciting, which is undoubtedly, but it is too strong.

Ancelotti is easy-going, and his football philosophy has a bit of Italian literary style. His arrival injects a hint of rationality and calmness into Southampton's football.

In Yang Huan's view, if the saints of Bielsa period were teenagers and young people, then the saints of Ancelotti period were mature men.

It is hard to say who is better. Ancelotti has remained unbeaten to this day and is indeed quite outstanding, but it cannot be separated from the foundation laid by the Bielsa period. Moreover, Bielsa's passion represents enterprising spirit and continuous innovation, while Ancelotti's maturity represents stability.

In the past, Bielsa's concept was easy to use, but now, the players in the team are mature. Whether it is Hazard, Suarez, Tony Cross, or other players in the team, they are mature. The team has already won a large territory and it will be difficult to break through in the short term.

Therefore, at this time, Ancelotti is more useful than Bielsa.

Without Guardiola, Yang Huan would definitely continue to let Ancelotti coach, and at least in the next four or five years, he would not easily change coaches, because he believed that Ancelotti had the ability to keep the team at the top in Europe.

But since Guardiola is available, the situation is very different.

But it's okay. With such outstanding coaching results in Southampton this season, Ancelotti's next stop should be the top giants.

Just now, Master Huan’s thought flashed, and Mubarak had changed seats with someone and leaned over.

"Master Huan, there is something, can you ask you?"

"What's up?"

"Will the contract between Ancelotti and the Saints end the season?" Mubarak asked with concern.

When Yang Huan heard this, he immediately understood that this kid was poaching.

Manchester City's performance this season is indeed not ideal. Pellegrini has coached for many years and the team has given him enough patience. He wants to give him who he wants, but his results are still not improved. This is really depressing.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match just passed, Manchester City lost to Guardiola's Bayern Munich 1-2 at home. Although the Bundesliga team lost Lewandowski and their performance on both wings was also sluggish, with strong overall control, they still beat Manchester City away.

With strong troops and strong Manchester City, they lost to Bayern Munich, who was short of soldiers at home. It is conceivable that Pellegrini's embarrassment is.

"Aren't you staring at Guardiola?" Yang Huanle asked happily.

When Prince William couldn't help laughing when he mentioned Guardiola.

Mubarak also looked depressed and waved his hand, "Master Huan, don't tease me again!"

In the past period of time, Guardiola has indeed been a popular favorite for many Premier League teams to select coaches. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have all set their sights on the Spanish coach. It is even rumored that Abramovich is visiting Munich in person.

It has been almost rumored throughout Europe for two or three months that Guardiola is going to coach in the Premier League.

Bayern Munich official also stated that the team's contract with Guardiola will end in the summer and the coach selection process will begin.

For a time, the whole of Europe was rumored that Guardiola would have a fortune.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are all popular, but in the end, no one is.

This is also a revelation from Charlene Lachry, a columnist of the Southern Echo. The teams Guardiola really wants to coach are not these teams, but Southampton.

Even Charlene Lahry revealed that the Saints introduced Messi and Guardiola made efforts.

This will reveal the truth.

The saints do not admit it, but they do not deny it, and so does Guardiola.

Therefore, the Premier League giants began to shift their goals one after another.

Manchester United set his sights on Mourinho who was dismissed from Chelsea, but it is said that this news made Giggs and Ferguson behind him very dissatisfied, believing that Mourinho could not lead Manchester United back to the top.

Chelsea was crying but not crying, and Abramovich wanted to die.

But the Blues' coach selection was everywhere, and they were rejected by famous European coaches such as Simeone, Klopp, and Ronald Koeman. They are currently targeting the Italian national team's head coach Conte and Juventus' head coach Allegri.

Only Manchester City is the only one, and it is not easy to choose a suitable head coach.

"Are you really determined to take the knife?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Manchester City’s current problem is actually not big, but not small.

In the past few years, this team has always given people a feeling of being up and down. If you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that it ultimately depends on the midfield of this team, that is, Yaya Toure.

There is no doubt that Yaya Toure is the thigh of this team, but it is obvious that this thigh is not thick enough.

When Manchester City was just formed, Yaya Toure was undoubtedly the most important member. However, after world-class stars such as Aguero, David Silva, and De Bruyne joined one by one, Yaya Toure's problems were exposed.

It’s not that Côte d’Ivoire’s midfield strength is not good, but his characteristics make it impossible for him to lead Manchester City to achieve a breakthrough in strength.

On the contrary, Manchester City's biggest problem now lies with Yaya Toure.

Why has Yaya Toure been in trouble in the past few years?

Because he knew that the team wanted to move him, but due to the results, he did not dare to move him easily.

The tragedy of Manchester City is that they have never made up their minds and failed to introduce a midfielder who can replace Yaya Toure.

Nowadays, as Côte d'Ivoire grows older and gradually declines in physical fitness, this problem is exposed particularly clearly.

If it was Yaya Toure who led Manchester City to run in the two years after joining, then in the next few years, Manchester City dragged Yaya Toure to run in the next few years.

Whether it is introducing Fernandinho or introducing Fernando, there is only one purpose to solve the problem of Yaya Toure.

But it was obvious that it was not solved in the end.

Mubarak shook his head and sighed, "Yaya Toure has finished playing this season and is already thirty-three years old. With the current situation this season, it is a good time for the team to reorganize."

Yang Huan nodded. At this time, the fans' reactions would be relatively smaller.

"Then keep it for me." Yang Huan said with a smile.

Mubarak was stunned, "Young Master Huan is interested in Yaya Toure?"

"No, my compatriots will be very interested." Yang Huan explained with a smile.

Yaya Toure's characteristics do not meet Yang Huan's preferences. Even Guardiola, Bielsa, or Pochettino, they probably wouldn't want to use Yaya Toure to form a team.

He is different from Ibrahimovic. Although they are the kind of players who need the team to organize tactics around him, Ibrahimovic is the center forward and Yaya Toure is the crucial midfielder.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic's overall strength is obviously much higher than Yaya Toure.

However, the Chinese Super League team should not reject Yaya Toure.

As for whether the competitors will be strengthened, Yang Huan has no worries in this regard.

He believes that the most important thing now is to make the Chinese Super League bigger and stronger first. This is not just that it requires one or two strong teams such as Jingcheng Guoen, or Yangcheng Hengda, but also that the strength of the entire Chinese Super League team must be strengthened.

Only in this way can the prosperity of the entire league be driven.

In this way, the strength of the capital city and the country's ambition is meaningful, isn't it?
