The meeting of members of the European Club Association held in Geneva, Switzerland, finally appeared in front of the world with nothing more than a message on its official website, telling everyone very clearly and clearly that Rummenigge was re-elected as president, and who became a member of the executive committee and who entered the UEFA executive committee.

As for what happened behind the scenes, no one knows except insiders.

After two weeks of international competition, European football was quickly back in flames.

Because the Saints participated in the UEFA Super Cup, the fourth round of the Premier League was postponed, and they are currently one round less and ranked fourth in the league, behind teams such as Tottenham Hotspur.

However, after the international break, Tottenham Hotspur also enjoyed an up-and-down run of form, with a 0-0 draw at home to Everton in the fifth round of the Premier League, giving up the league leader for nothing.

The Saints, on the other hand, won four consecutive victories and returned to the top of the table thanks to Pogba's brace in half an hour and Sturridge's goal in the 72nd minute of the second half, beating West Bromwich Albion 3-0 to win four in a row.

Ancelotti's lineup in this game was very bold, and none of the main forces of the front trident were played, but the Saints still relied on their strong strength advantage to win the three points safely.

In midweek, the first leg of the Champions League group stage was played at home against Juventus.

Carlo Ancelotti re-met his old owner, did not have the slightest mercy, and played the main force at the Arena of Glory.

If the two sides were able to play evenly in the first half, and the Saints only relied on a flash of inspiration from Eden Hazard for 30 minutes to open the scoring for the Saints, then in the second half, the Saints were completely in control of the game.

In the 55th minute, Suarez received an assist from Cesc Fabregas to make it 2-0 for the Saints.

After that, Di Maria broke through the middle, and the opposing midfielder Marchisio was fouled defensively, and was shown the second yellow card of the game and was sent off the field with a red card.

After that, Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas each set up Suarez to score two goals in a row, and the Uruguayan striker scored a hat-trick.

In the end, the Saints beat Juventus 4-0 at home to get the Champions League group stage off to a flying start.

After the Bianconeri hated the Glory Stadium, manager Allegri also had to admit after the game that the team was not as good as others.

Allegri is full of praise for compatriot Carlo Ancelotti's side, believing the Saints are the most competitive team in Europe.

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

The Juventus coach is highly regarded and has been widely recognized by European football experts.

Ancelotti's transformation of the saints is also gradually showing results.

Compared with Bielsa's attacking and almost desperate attacking football, Ancelotti is more about control and balance between attack and defence.

Legendary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi spoke highly of Carlo Ancelotti's achievements in charge of Southampton in a column in the Milan newspaper Sport, arguing that Ancelotti has injected his own philosophy into the Saints.

'As the best and strongest team in Europe over the last two seasons, any manager in charge of the Saints is seen as a challenge and it's not easy to make Bielsa forget but I think Carlo Ancelotti has done a great job.

"For many years, the Premier League has been pursuing the continentalization of the tactical system, in fact, we call this positional warfare."

"It took Bielsa a few years to put positional warfare and his attacking football philosophy into the blood of the Saints, who took them from the original third tier team all the way to the European hegemony, which was very difficult."

"As with all positional warfare concepts, how to create an advantage in the local area is also Bielsa's pursuit, he is full of forward attacking **, wanting to create an advantage behind every pressing line of the opponent's line."

"This so-called advantage can be said to be a numerical advantage, that is, in a specific period of time, in a specific area, by moving the ball, the active movement of the players, and the intelligent choice of positions, to create an unmarked free man, which is the most tireless pursuit of all positional warfare plays."

"It's the same with Bielsa!"

"And we can see that after years of development, especially after Pep Guardiola's great achievements at Barcelona, the development of positional play has improved by leaps and bounds, and the establishment of an advantage in the process of advancing from the back to the front has become very important in positional play."

'During the Bielsa era, the Saints' backline played a vital role in the team's tactical system, and even goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was part of the team's tactical components, and the scavenger goalkeeper, who often dared to press out of the box, completely changed the perception of goalkeepers in the past.

"It's a crazy choice, no goalkeeper has ever done that, but Bielsa chose Neuer, and even in order to be able to better play Neuer's ability in this area, the Saints hired the former Schalke 04 academy goalkeeper coach, Lothar Matushak came to Southampton to train all the goalkeepers of Neuer and the Saints."

'As far as I know, what the German Academy goalkeeper coach is best at is positioning his players and adjusting his position with small breaks and lots of cross-movements.

"They believe that by taking small side strides, keeping the goalkeeper and the ball in a straight line at all times, shifting the center of gravity to the front foot and accelerating suddenly at key moments, Neuer can improve Neuer's defensive ability against the opposing attacking players."

"In fact, both Bielsa and Neuer are doing pretty well."

'Although, as the most daring goalkeeper of all time, Neuer still took the risk of losing control and giving up the goal, but at the same time he expanded his defensive zone to make the backline more forward, more compact and more aggressive.

"But our compatriot, the clever Carlo Ancelotti, like all the Italian coaches, believes that it is not enough to rely on the players, but that it should be solved by tactics to minimise the hidden dangers of Manuel Neuer."

"In the positional battle play, the players of the two teams are arranged on the court in a staggered manner, staggered before and after, attacking and defending each other."

"Ancelotti believes that players occupy key areas at specific moments, and when attacking, it is conducive to creating regional advantages, attacking more closely and quickly, and controlling the ball more solidly, while when defending, the occupation of key areas is conducive to the team's good standing structure and easy to implement high pressing."

"In this case, offense and defense merge into one, without distinguishing between each other."

"Obviously, Carlo Ancelotti, my great student, he has injected this essence of Italian football into the tactics of the Saints, so we will see that this season the Saints are not only still sharp in attack, but also have a fairly obvious improvement in defense, and the overall squad structure is more compact and orderly, more rigorous."

"The first three lines are like an iron wall, firmly pressing the opponent, limiting the opponent's attack, cutting the opponent's line, so that Neuer behind him is no longer so easy to directly face the opponent's attack, so the German goalkeeper has been liberated and has taken on more offensive and organizational responsibilities."

"Against Juventus, we even saw Neuer unwilling to be lonely in the half, but Juventus looked at the empty goal behind him, but he couldn't put the ball in."

The saints are highly praised not only by Sachi, but also by other European celebrities.

It's not the Saints' winning streak that counts, it's the kind of consistent, efficient, and at the same time desperate ability that Carlo Ancelotti's team has built up in the game to kill their opponents and kill the game.

Three days after the first round of the Champions League group stage against Juventus, the Saints returned to the Glory Stadium in Southampton to beat the visiting Leicester City 4-0 to make it five wins in a row.

But even more terrifyingly, in midweek, Southampton ushered in the fourth round of the league play-off, beating Norwich City 5-0 at home.

At the weekend, the Saints were back at home with Swansea City.

Southampton opened the scoring less than two minutes into the opening period with a powerful shot from left-back David Alaba behind to find the back of the net.

In the second half, Alexis Sanchez and Harry Kane scored in succession, 3-0, and won another complete victory.

Seven games, seven wins in a row!

But this is not the most surprising thing, it is the dominance of the saints that is truly shocking.

Seven games without conceding a single goal, it's horrible!

The Premier League has only just begun, and the Saints have played such an amazing and terrifying momentum that it is simply despairing of all the competitors!

But just when the British and European media were amazed by the Saints' winning streak, in the second game of the Champions League group stage, the Saints challenged Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga away, and in the first three minutes, Pogba took the lead with a powerful shot in the big penalty area to open the scoring for the Saints.

In the 14th minute, Di Maria's anti-offside single knife extended the score for the Saints, 2-0.

Entering the second half, Suarez, Di Maria and substitute Kovacic scored three goals in a row for the Saints to beat Wolfsburg 5-0.

This simply stunned the whole of Europe!

What's even more terrifying is that the Saints played a total of 38 shots on goal in this game, and the possession rate was as high as 63%, which is simply a burst of bombardment around Wolfsburg, and only five goals are considered less!

The whole of European football was stunned!

No one could have imagined that the Saints would have played such a strong record at the beginning of the new season and after the change of coach, which is simply against the sky!

And what is even more unbelievable is that Messi did not play in all these achievements achieved by the Saints.

If Messi plays, won't Southampton be even more rebellious?

As a result, all fans around the world are frantically discussing the Saints, and almost everyone believes that the new season's Premier League champion is none other than the Saints, and the Saints are also the number one favorite in the new season's Champions League.

However, at a time when the world is generally hyping about the saints, there is no shortage of doubts.

For example, Martin Samuel, a famous British columnist, pointed out in his column that the soaring of the Saints is indeed amazing, but it must be noted that Juventus and Wolfsburg are not the first team in Europe, Juventus has been weak for many years, and the loss of players is serious, especially this season, with Pirlo gone, the midfield is weakened very much.

Wolfsburg are new to the Champions League, inexperienced, and the rout is not surprising.

As for the Premier League, Southampton have not faced a top-four team so far, and Everton, despite their strength, have not been doing well this season.

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

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

"In the eighth round of the league, the Saints visited Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, and in the third round of the Champions League group stage, the Saints visited the Parc des Princes and challenged Paris Saint-Germain, which is the real highlight!"

At the same time, there were some problems within the saints.
