At noon, Amsterdam International Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands was crowded.

As one of the largest international airports in Europe, Schiphol is no slouch for its size.

But any visitor from all over the world, as soon as they walk into the airport hall, they can immediately see two colors very clearly.

One is blue and the other is reddish-white.

Interestingly, if you are more attentive, you will definitely be able to notice that whenever the fans of two colors meet, the fans in blue jerseys will involuntarily bow their heads and dodge.

Fans in red and white jerseys chant loudly, "We are the champions!" ”

As soon as many blue fans heard this song, they immediately burst into tears of shame.

Occasionally, some blue fans will resist, but they are either controlled by the airport security guard, or they see that the other party is overwhelmed, and the heroes do not suffer losses in front of them, so they quickly withdraw first.

No way, the fans of the red and white jerseys occupy an overwhelming advantage in numbers!

The reporters shrewdly captured this and immediately sent live news broadcasts.

"According to the figures we got from UEFA, Southampton made up about three-quarters of the fans who booked tickets, a third of them from the UK, a third from Europe and a third from around the world.

"In other words, apart from the fan tickets distributed by UEFA to the two teams, as well as some tickets to sponsors and guests, almost all of the remaining 10,000 tickets were bought by fans in Southampton."

"We can expect that avid Southampton fans will turn the Amsterdam Arena into the home of the Saints!"

"It is worth noting that according to the information we received from the airport, the special planes of the airlines that the two teams are currently flying on arrive at Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport very close to each other, one after the other."

"So, we're looking forward to seeing the two teams meet at the international airport."

"Will there be a big fight?"

Just as reporters were using their phones, tablets or laptops to send the latest news reports on the ground, a message came over the airport radio.

The Delta Air Lines plane flying from London to Amsterdam is about to land.

Delta Air Lines?

Isn't that Chelsea's sponsor?

As soon as he heard this news, there was a commotion in the airport hall.

Fans and journalists gathered here to await the arrival of both teams.

For a while, fans in blue jerseys flocked to the exit.

Fortunately, the ground staff at Schiphol International Airport were well prepared and had sufficient manpower to maintain order at the scene.

A few minutes later, a white Boeing plane slowly landed.

It didn't take long to see Chelsea's acting head coach Zenden leading the players in crisp suits and slowly walking out.

There was an uproar as Blues fans chanted the names of the players they were supporting.

What was somewhat surprising was that the Chelsea players seemed to be in a lack of interest, and the enthusiasm of the fans seemed very perfunctory, which reminded many of the reporters in the audience of the debacle at Wembley Stadium three days ago.

0-5 in Southampton's bloodbath, Chelsea is not easy to play!

If one is not handled well and another heavy defeat is lost, then the Blues are really finished!

There are also reporters with a keen sense of smell, after taking a look at Chelsea's lineup with the team, they found that there is still no Oscar!

In the last decisive match at Wembley Stadium, many analysts believed after the game that Chelsea lost because the midfield lost momentum, and the reason why the midfield lost ground was because the midfield was too weak.

Juan Mata alone can't sustain an entire Chelsea midfield.

As for the combination of Frank Lampard, Ramires and Mikel, it is hardly satisfactory either.

In this case, Chelsea are in desperate need of an Oscar!

Judging from the current list of players accompanying the team, the Brazilian midfielder is still blocked!

Are Chelsea still planning to rely on this team that has suffered heavy defeats to play Southampton?

Many reporters at the scene put a big question mark in their hearts!

Chelsea had just stepped out on the front foot when the airport radio came again and the Qatar Airways plane from Southampton Airport was about to arrive and land.

Suddenly, there was another commotion at the scene.

Especially when the two teams turned out to be the same exit, the scene was even more chaotic.

As soon as the Southampton fans in red and white jerseys heard the announcement, they immediately surrounded them from all directions.

Oh my boy, it was like a Chelsea crowd at the exit.

Chelsea fans immediately scattered and fled the scene.

A few minutes later, a Boeing 777 with red and white arrow stripes slowly landed at Schiphol Airport.

It's really more people than people have to be abandoned, and goods have to be thrown away.

It's the same sponsor, but the treatment is completely different.

Chelsea's plane looks the same as a regular airliner, and even the fuselage doesn't even have Chelsea logos.

But Southampton is different, the entire Boeing 777 is dyed with Southampton's red and white arrow stripes around the fuselage, as well as the advertising images of Southampton's superstars, which look lifelike from a distance.

It is said that in order to make it easier for Southampton players, coaching staff, team members and journalists, the interior of the aircraft has also been specially modified, which is very different from other Boeing 777 passenger aircraft.

Not only that, but the Qatari tycoon also provided Southampton with two such special planes, and only during the break in the game, these two planes will take on the task of passenger transport, but anyone who wants to take these two planes must book a special ticket.

But even so, these two special planes are full almost every trip!

Just because of this, it shows how influential Southampton is in the minds of sponsors.

Shortly after the plane arrived, the Saints team leader Mathieu Le Tissier walked out with the team and was immediately greeted by cheers from all the red and white fans in the entire airport hall.

He was followed by head coach Bielsa and assistant coaches, and then the players in the squad.

Unlike the Chelsea players, who all seemed to be in high spirits, the Southampton players all looked excited, with confident smiles on their faces, interacting with the fans, and even a few even stayed to sign autographs and take photos with the fans.

The difference in mentality between the two teams has left many journalists skewed their predictions for the upcoming Europa League final.

At the very least, Chelsea is in this state of mind, and it is difficult to beat Southampton!

But the most interesting thing is that when Southampton was about to walk out of the airport hall, Chelsea, who had already gotten off the plane, was still sitting on the sofa in the lounge area on the side of the airport hall and waiting.

It is said that it was because there was a problem with the temporary rental bus of Chelsea and he was not able to come to the airport in time to pick him up.

On the other hand, in Southampton, two luxury buses brought by the team stopped at the gate of Schiphol Airport early, and as soon as the Saints arrived, they immediately boarded the bus and left.

Many reporters at the scene captured that at the moment when Southampton boarded the car and left, Chelsea was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and many people even shook their heads and sighed.

From Ron Gulley to Marina Granovskia, Chelsea's management has gone from being an insider to an outsider.

There have been rumours within the Blues that the Russian powerwoman seems to be shrewd, but that is more about intrigue and power struggles, but when it comes to team operations, she is a complete layman.

So, don't look at Chelsea's business seems to be doing very well, but in a lot of details, it's very frustrating.

Now, for example, they sit at Schiphol Airport and wait for the bus.

But what about Southampton?

The two buses of the Saints, who arrived in Amsterdam yesterday, have long been familiar with every road from the airport to the Amsterdam Arena, and choose the most suitable route at the right time to send the team to the Amsterdam Arena.

It's not far from London to Amsterdam, plus the closing stages of the league, and the fixtures are intensive.

Chelsea are fighting for a top-four finish and Southampton are fighting for the league title.

Therefore, both teams coincidentally chose to go back and forth on the same day.

But because of this arrangement, because of such trivial things as buses, Chelsea was forced to stay at Schiphol Airport and wait, while Southampton went to Amsterdam Arena to adjust non-stop.

Two teams operate, and the judgment is made!

Not just in the team, but also on the football field.

Today, the British Guardian published an analysis article in which it reprinted the number of points from UEFA.

Don't look at the Premier League this season, it still gets four Champions League places, but as everyone knows, the shape is already in jeopardy.

"UEFA's league standings are based on the sum of European points from the last five seasons."

"So, in 2012, the total points of the five seasons from the beginning of the 07-08 season were counted, and with the excellent performance of previous years, the total points of the Premier League are still ahead of Spain and the top of the major European leagues!"

"But in the new season, the shape has taken a sharp turn."

"Because in the 07-08 season, there were three Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United and Chelsea reached the final one after another, and in the end it was the Red Devils who won the cup, and the momentum of the Premier League reached its peak!"

"But after entering 2013, the European points of the 07 to 08 seasons will no longer be counted, so that the total points of the Premier League will decline significantly, especially in the last two or three seasons, the lack of Premier League teams in the European competition, so that the Premier League will give up the top position to La Liga, there is no suspense."

"But thanks to Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund's excellent performances in Europe in the last two seasons, the Bundesliga has quietly caught up."

"The second place in the Premier League's Europa League is already very dangerous, and according to the sum of points, it is only one point ahead of the Bundesliga."

"So, if Southampton hadn't won the Europa League last season and reached the Europa League final this season, the Premier League would have lost second place in the Europa League."

"By that time, the Champions League places in the Premier League will also be changed from the existing four to three!"

"As a result, whoever grabs the fourth place in the league this season, whether it is Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur, will still miss out on next season's Champions League."

"It's going to be a disaster for the Premier League!"

"But before this disaster, Southampton, a dark horse, saved the stormy Premier League!"

"Regardless of whether Southampton win the Premier League title this season or not, we should look forward to the Saints' performance in the Champions League next season, and hopefully the Saints will bring us more and bigger surprises!"

The Guardian's report sparked a wave of reprint in the British media and the attention of fans.

The Europa League standings, in the eyes of many fans, are so unfamiliar.

But who would have thought that a position in the ranking would determine the losses and gains of hundreds of millions of pounds in the Premier League.

It's entirely conceivable what would have happened without Southampton's excellent performance and only three Champions League places left in the Premier League?

The entire Premier League is bound to snatch the first three places!

The battle for the top three in the league will be more fierce than ever!

In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Guardian said that Southampton saved the Premier League! R1148
