"Tony O Kroos is really badly injured"

In a certain stand at Wembley Stadium, Diego Simeone with two assistants, Boggs and Ortega were seated.

The purpose of their trip was to visit Southampton on the spot.

Liverpool were undoubtedly a very good litmus test, and this final, with both sides unreserved, offered them an opportunity to see Southampton's quality up close.

And just across the side of their stands, Southampton's first-team players who were not included in the squad for the game were all sitting together in suits and leather shoes, and it was easy to find Tony Kroos from them.

The German youngster still has a conspicuous white bandage on his left foot, and his expression looks quite depressed.

"I've been paying attention to him since I just entered the stadium, and I haven't gotten up since I sat down, and I have been doing it by my teammates next to me to buy drinks and hamburgers, which seems to be really inconvenient."

Boggs is a goalkeeper in the end, and his eyes are extraordinary, and he can still see the situation on the other side clearly across the field.

Diego Simeone couldn't help but laugh, "Good injury"

By now, he has finally determined that Tony Croos is indeed seriously injured.

With only three days to go before the Europa League final, looking at Tony Kroos' current situation, even if it is fine tomorrow, it will be difficult to adjust to his form before the Europa League final.

On the other hand, in this game, Southampton's defender Nemanja Matic was very solid, the defense and organization were quite good, and he showed amazing strength, so from the manager's point of view, Bielsa has absolutely no reason not to use Matic.

"I'm afraid Liverpool is done with this game," Diego Simeone shook his head and sighed.

Originally, they were still counting on Liverpool to play against Southampton.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't too hard for the Saints to win

Ortega nodded: "Southampton's three midfield strength groups, covering a wide range of areas, full of layers. ”

After a pause, he began to analyze.

'Nemanja Matic was always at the back to protect the defence, he barely went forward, Stroman and Vidal were relatively free, comfortable with the defence behind them, covering the area from box to box and running back and forth very aggressively.

"Relatively speaking, Dalglish has not been able to keep up with today's football tactics exhibition in terms of tactical attainments."

Diego Simeone smiled slightly, "He hasn't coached a top team for more than ten years, and he can't keep up with the times."

Football tactics are changing with each passing day, and tactics that may have been invincible last year have been completely suppressed by opponents this year.

Just like Barcelona, the extreme possession tactics have certainly made Barcelona a system of its own, and have raised Barcelona's youth training to an unprecedented height, and also brought unprecedented glory to Barcelona.

But that's just the bright side.

But what about behind the scenes?

When the academy is unable to provide a strong complement, the new signings brought in by Barcelona always need a long period of adaptation, and some even cannot adapt at all

Also, this kind of extreme tactics, once you are restrained by the opponent, then congratulations, you don't expect to be able to turn over in a short time.

When did the first phase of Cruyff's dream collapse?

lost 4-0 to Fabio Capello in the Champions League final; In this battle, everyone found a way to restrain the first phase of the Barcelona dream.

The following year, Barcelona had just made it out of the group stage, when they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the knockout round.

It was also in this year that Barcelona suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Valdano's Real Madrid

It was after that war that Barcelona entered a period of darkness and turmoil, and it was not until the new century, in the era of Rijkaard, that the so-called Dream II was organized

But in the first phase of the dream and the second phase of the dream, there are ten years in between, and Barcelona has been adjusting and groping.

The second phase of the dream is relatively diverse, but in the Guardiola period, Barcelona's style of play has once again gone to the extreme, frantically pursuing ball-possession tactics, and elevating this ball-possession tactics to the pinnacle.

But Diego Simeone has a hunch that Barcelona's set will soon be out of play.

On the one hand, there is the player factor, but on the other hand, more and more teams have found effective ways to contain Barcelona.

For example, Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, Allegri's AC Milan, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, etc., have all restrained Barcelona's tactics for a time, although they have not been long-lasting, but these are firmly remembered by professional coaches.

Never ignore the tactical research and analysis of professional coaches who coach for a living.

In the field of professional coaching, there has never been a shortage of obsessive maniacs like Bielsa and Benitez, who are firmly occupied by football 24 hours a day, and they constantly switch roles between restraint and counter-restraint.

This has led to the rapid development of football tactics.

After a year or two away from the front line, many managers come back with the help of a lack of tactics.

For a man like Dalglish, who has retired for more than a decade and comes back to coach, the tactics are far from keeping up with the times.

"The simplest one, Toni Kroos is injured, Nemanja Matic comes up, Liverpool can't play Spearing anyway"

Ortega was very critical of Dalglish's tactics.

"It's a stupid failure"

Simeone nodded: "Nemanja Nemanja is behind, Vidal and Stroman cover a large area, so there should be a midfielder who can roam in the defense zone of the three of them, hold the ball, and pass the ball."

Speaking of this, Simeone and Ortega glanced at each other and nodded almost in unison: "Diego"

After the two finished speaking, they both burst into laughter.

Atletico Madrid has such a player in their squad.

"There is only one Diego, I'm afraid it's not enough, both Turan and Adrian are on"

As soon as Simeone sketched this, in Atletico Madrid's usual 4231 tactics, the midfield has already been gathered.

Falcao is a striker of choice

"The only trouble is the centre-back," Ortega said worriedly.

When Simeone heard this, his brows furrowed.

Southampton's biggest surprise this season has been their two central strikers, Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba.

These are the best centre-forwards in the world

It's not easy for other teams to have one, but it's good for them to have two in one go.

These two centers have been in frighteningly good form over the past season.

Ibrahimovic has scored a total of 43 goals in all competitions over the past season, with the exception of the English League Cup.

Didier Drogba was no slouch, taking his tally for the season to 42 when he counted those two goals in the game.

The goal contest between the two ace centre-forwards has always been the most talked-about drama in Southampton this past season.

Can Atletico Madrid's central defenders Godin and Miranda be able to hold off the two world's top center forwards?

"Then follow the old rules, start with a grab, try to steal a goal from him, and then let's defend it"

This is also Simeone's most common trick

Atletico Madrid's outstanding results are not due to the strength of the team, but because of pressing and defending

Ortega also nodded, "This is the only way to go"

Who calls himself inferior to his opponents?

No one expected that after replacing Kuyt in the 55th minute, Dalglish seemed to give up the game.

It wasn't until the 88th minute that he made his second and third substitutions.

But at this time, it was very close to the end of the game.

Liverpool ended up losing the FA Cup with a score of 0-3

When the referee Dodd's final whistle blew, the entire Wembley stadium was in complete boil

All the Saints fans frantically rushed out of their seats and shouted hoarsely down the pitch

At this moment, the same thing must have been born in front of countless TV sets.

Not just in the UK, in Europe, but all over the world

"Let's congratulate Southampton on their successful FA Cup defence title"

"It was the most amazing feat in the history of English football, as they won the FA Cup for two consecutive seasons as a third-tier and second-tier team"

'What's even more impressive is that this team has also won the League Cup and the Championship this season'

"It's not quite appropriate to say that, but I personally think Southampton deserves the title of Treble"

"Especially considering that Southampton have also reached the final of the Europa League this season, and if they win the Europa League, they will complete a grand slam and they will not only make new history of English football, but also European football"

"This is the manager of Southampton, the Argentine maniac, Marcelo Bielsa"

"In his two seasons in charge of Southampton, he has injected the blood of crazy attacking football into this team on the south coast of England, and he has brought Southampton a stunning and gorgeous football feast."

"We have every reason to believe that next season's English league will be even more exciting and suspenseful because of Southampton's appearance."

Football is so cruel

All eyes, all eyes on the winner

The cries and tears of the losers, no one cared, they left the stadium gloomily

All the players at Southampton, led by captain Manuel Neuer, walked under the stands where the fans were and thanked the fans for their special trip north to cheer for the team.

At this time, Saints fans suddenly unfurled a long banner in the stands, covering most of the area of the second floor of the entire Wembley Stadium.

I saw that this banner was printed with an anthropomorphic cartoon image of the four trophies of the English League Cup, the Championship champion, the FA Cup winner and the Europa League champion

Interestingly, the cartoon characters of the first three trophies have already donned Southampton's iconic jerseys and marched forward in a neat queue holding the Southampton flag high.

On the opposite side is the sleek anthropomorphic cartoon image of the Europa League winner's trophy, covering the key parts, running over quickly, as if to join the queue for Southampton

The whole banner is painted lifelike and very realistic and interesting.

The following is accompanied by the sentence, "Attention, it is coming towards us"

This action of the fans in the stands immediately made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

In particular, the players in the stadium gave a thumbs up to the fans in the stands.

Not surprisingly, the huge banner was created by the Saints Harry Fan Club

For a while, the spotlight flashed frequently, some were cameras in the hands of reporters, and some were mobile phones and tablets in the hands of fans, all of whom without exception wanted to remember this impressive scene.

And at this time, the drums beat little by little, getting heavier and louder.

This was followed by the Saints Harry fans who began singing the Southampton anthem in unison.

At first, then they were singing.

But gradually, more and more people joined the chorus.

In the end, even the players, even the Southampton executives on the podium, one by one, stood up and joined the chorus.

At this moment, football is no longer just football
