What finally appeared before the world was a news on its official website, telling everyone that Rummenigge was re-elected as chairman, and who became the executive committee and who entered the UEFA executive committee.

As for what happened behind this, no one except the insider knew.

After two weeks of national team competition, European football quickly rekindled the war.

Because the Saints participated in the European Super Cup, the fourth round of the Premier League was postponed. They are currently one less round and ranked fourth in the league, trailing Tottenham and other teams.

But after the national team match day, Tottenham Hotspur also experienced ups and downs. In the fifth round of the Premier League, he drew with Everton at home, giving up his position as the league leader in vain.

The Saints won four consecutive victories away with Pogba's double score in half an hour and Sturridge's goal in the 72nd minute of the second half, winning three to zero, returning to the top of the list.

Ancelotti was very bold in the arrangement of troops in this game, and no main force of the forward trident was on the way, but the Saints still secured three-pointers with their own strong strength advantage.

In the middle of the week, the first leg of the Champions League group stage was ushered in at home, with Juventus.

Ancelotti met his old master again, but he was not at all merciless and sent all his main players to play at the Glory Stadium.

If the two sides could still play evenly in the first half, and the Saints only relied on Hazard's thirty-minute flash of inspiration to score the first record for the Saints, then in the second half, the Saints would have completely controlled the game.

In the 55th minute, Suarez received an assist from Fabregas and won another goal for the Saints, 2-0.

Afterwards, Di Maria broke through in the middle, and the opponent's midfielder Marcisio made a defensive foul. He was shown the second yellow card of the game and was sent off with a red card.

Afterwards, Sanchez and Fabregas assisted Suarez to score two goals in a row, and the Uruguay scorer scored a hat-trick.

In the end, the Saints defeated Juventus four-zero at home, achieving a good start in the Champions League group stage.

After the Zebras Legion's Glory Stadium, head coach Allegri had to admit after the game that the team was inferior to others.

Allegri praised his compatriot Ancelotti's team, believing that the Saints are the most competitive team on the European arena.

"Ancelotti made the saints even more unpredictable, and he surprised us all."

The high praise of the head coach of Juventus has also been widely recognized by European football experts.

Ancelotti's transformation of the saints also gradually showed results.

Compared with Bielsa's emphasis on offense and almost desperately launching offensive football, Ancelotti pays more attention to control and offensive and defensive balance.

Italian legendary coach Arigo Sachi highly praised Ancelotti's achievements after coaching Southampton in a column located in the Sport of Milan. He believes that Ancelotti injected his own ideas into the Saints.

"As the best and strongest team in Europe in the past two seasons, any head coach coaching the Saints will be seen as a big challenge. It is not easy to make fans forget Bielsa, but I think Ancelotti has done a good job."

"In the past many years, the Premier League has been pursuing the mainlandization of the tactical system. In fact, we call this positional warfare."

"It took Bielsa several years to inject positional battles and his offensive football into the blood of the Saints. He brought the Saints from the original third-level league team to the European overlord, which was very difficult."

"Like all positional warfare concepts, how to create advantages in local areas is also Bielsa's pursuit. He is full of the desire to attack forward and wants to create advantages behind every oppressive line of defense of his opponent."

"This so-called advantage can be said to be an advantage in numbers, that is, in a specific period of time, in a specific area, through transferring the ball, active running of the players, and smart choice of positions, we can create a free man who is not under guard. This is the most tireless pursuit of all positional fighting styles."

"So is Bielsa!"

"And we can see that after years of development, especially after Guardiola's great achievements in Barcelona, ​​the development of positional combat style has made rapid progress, and it has established an advantage in the advancement from the backcourt to the frontcourt, which has become crucial in positional combat style."

"During Bielsa's period, the Saints' defense line played a crucial role in the entire team's tactical system. Even goalkeeper Neuer was in the team's tactical component. This scavenger goalkeeper who often boldly pushed out of the penalty area completely subverted the past people's understanding of goalkeepers."

"This is a crazy choice, and no goal will do this, but Bielsa chose Neuer. In order to better play Neuer's ability in this area, the Saints hired a former Schalke Zero Four youth goalkeeper coach, Lotal Matushak came to Southampton to train Neuer and all the goalkeepers of the Saints."

"As far as I know, the training that this German youth goalkeeper coach is best at is the player's position, and adjusting his position through small steps and a lot of span movements."

"They believe that through this small side step, keeping the goalkeeper and the ball in a straight line, and at critical moments, the center of gravity moves to the front foot and suddenly accelerates, which can comprehensively improve Neuer's defensive ability when facing the opponent's offensive players."

"In fact, both Bielsa and Neuer did a pretty good job."

"Although, as the boldest goalkeeper in history, Neuer still bears the risk of losing control and giving up the goal, he also expands his defense area and makes the defense line more forward, the formation is more compact, and the team's oppression is more aggressive."

"But our compatriots, the smart Ancelotti, like all Italian coaches, believe that relying on players is not enough, and tactics should be used to minimize the hidden dangers in Neuer."

"In the positional fighting style, the players of the two teams were arranged in an orderly manner on the court, interlaced with each other, offensive and defensive."

"Ancelotti believes that players occupy key areas at specific moments and are conducive to creating regional advantages when attacking, the offense will be closer and faster, and the ball control will be more stable. When defending, the occupation of key areas will be conducive to the team's good positioning structure and facilitate high-level oppression."

"In this case, offense and defense are integrated, without distinction between each other."

"It's obvious that Ancelotti, my great student, injected this essence of Italian football into the Saints' tactics, so we see that this season's Saints not only have sharp offenses, but their defense has been significantly improved, and the overall lineup structure is more compact and orderly, and more rigorous."

"The three lines in the front are like iron walls, firmly oppressing the opponent, limiting the opponent's attack, cutting the opponent's route, so that Neuer behind him no longer faces the opponent's attack directly so easily. Therefore, the German goalkeeper was liberated and assumed more offensive and organizational responsibilities."

"When we were playing against Juventus, we even saw Neuer pressing to the half without being willing to be lonely, but Juventus looked at the empty goal behind him and was unable to send the ball in."

The saints not only received high praise from Sachi, but also highly recognized by other European celebrities.

The key is not the Saints' winning streak, but the stable, efficient, and desperate ability to kill opponents and games created by Ancelotti's team in the game.

Three days after the first round of the Champions League group stage, the Saints returned to the Glory Stadium in Southampton and once again broke the visiting Leicester City 4-0 and won five consecutive victories.

But what's even more terrifying is that in the middle of the week, Southampton ushered in the fourth round of the league, defeating Norwich five-to-zero home games.

On the weekend, the Saints once again took the home court and welcomed Swansea.

Less than two minutes into the opening game, Southampton broke through Swansea's goal with a powerful shot from left-back David Alaba.

In the second half, Sanchez and Harry Kane scored goals one after another, three to zero, and another complete victory.

Seven games, seven consecutive victories!

But this is not the most surprising thing, and what really shocks people is the dominance shown by the saints.

In seven games, not a single goal was lost, which is so scary!

The Saints have just begun the Premier League and have made such an amazing terrifying momentum, which is simply to make all competitors feel desperate!

But just as the British and European media were marveling at the Saints' winning streak, in the second game of the Champions League group stage, the Saints challenged Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga away. In the first three minutes, Pogba took the lead in using a powerful shot from the penalty area to score the Saints' first record.

In the 14th minute, Di Maria's single attack on the offside expanded the score for the Saints, 2 to zero.

Entering the second half, Suarez, Di Maria and Kovacic, who came on the bench, scored three goals in a row for the Saints, breaking Wolfsburg by five to zero.

This shocked the whole of Europe!

What's even more terrifying is that the Saints scored a total of 38 shots in this game, and the ball possession rate was as high as 63%. This was like bombing around Wolfsburg, and only five goals were scored was considered a small number!

The entire European football world was shocked!

No one can imagine that the Saints actually achieved such a strong record at the beginning of the new season. After changing coaches, they were so fierce. This is simply a matter of despicable consequences!

What is even more unbelievable is that Messi did not appear in all the achievements achieved by the Saints.

If Messi comes out, wouldn’t Southampton be even more outrageous?

As a result, all fans around the world are discussing the Saints wildly. Almost everyone thinks that the Premier League champion in the new season is the Saints, and the Saints are also the well-deserved number one favorite in the Champions League in the new season.

However, when saints are widely hyped up all over the world, there are also many voices of doubt.

For example, the famous British columnist Martin Samuel pointed out in his column that the Saints' rapid progress is indeed amazing, but it must be noted that neither Juventus nor Wolfsburg are the first-tier teams in Europe. Juventus has been weak for many years and has suffered serious player loss, especially this season, after leaving Pirlo, the midfield weakened very much.

Wolfsburg is a new champion in the Champions League, with a lack of experience and no surprise.

As for the Premier League, Southampton has not encountered the top four teams so far. Although Everton is strong, his performance this season is not ideal.

So, to sum up, the Saints' winning streak seems unstoppable, but in fact it is not terrible.

"Ancelotti's team still needs to be tested by a truly strong team!"

"In the eighth round of the league, the Saints are visiting Stamford Bridge, challenge Chelsea, and the third round of the Champions League group stage, the Saints are visiting the Princes Park Stadium and challenge Paris Saint-Germain. This is the real highlight!"
Chapter completed!
