    What finally appeared in front of the world at this European Club Association member meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland was just a message on its official website, telling everyone very simply and clearly that Rummenigge had been re-elected as chairman, and  Who becomes the executive committee member, who becomes the UEFA executive committee member.  As for what happened behind this, no one except insiders knows.  After two weeks of national team matches, European football quickly reignited the flames of war.  Because the Saints participated in the European Super Cup, the fourth round of the Premier League was postponed. Currently, they have one game less and are ranked fourth in the league, behind teams such as Tottenham Hotspur.  However, after the national team match day, Tottenham Hotspur also experienced ups and downs. In the fifth round of the Premier League, they drew 0-0 at home with Everton, giving up the title of the league leader in vain.  Location.  The Saints relied on Pogba's two goals within half an hour and Sturridge's goal in the 72nd minute of the second half to defeat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 and win the away game.  won four consecutive games and returned to the top of the list.  Ancelotti¡¯s formation for this game was very bold. None of the main strikers were on the front line, but the Saints still relied on their strong strength to securely score three points.  In the middle of the week, the home court ushered in the first leg of the Champions League group stage, and the opponent was Juventus.  Ancelotti met his old club again, and showed no mercy at all. He sent out all his main players to play at the Glory Stadium.  If the two sides were evenly matched in the first half and the Saints only relied on a flash of inspiration from Hazard to open the scoring for the Saints in the 30th minute, then in the second half, the Saints completely controlled the game.  .  In the 55th minute, Suarez received an assist from Fabregas and scored another victory for the Saints, 2-0.  After that, Di Maria broke through in the middle, and the opponent's midfielder Marchisio committed a defensive foul. He was shown the second yellow card of the game and was sent off the field with a red card.  After that, Sanchez and Fabregas assisted Suarez to score two goals respectively, and the Uruguayan shooter performed a hat trick.  In the end, the Saints defeated Juventus 4-0 at home and got a good start in the Champions League group stage.  After the Bianconeri were beaten at the Stadium of Glory, head coach Allegri had to admit after the game that the team was inferior in skills.  Allegri was full of praise for compatriot Carlo Ancelotti¡¯s team, believing that the Saints are the most competitive team in Europe.  ¡°Ancelotti made the Saints more unpredictable, and he surprised us all.¡± The Juventus head coach¡¯s high praise has also been generally recognized by European football experts.  Ancelotti¡¯s transformation of the Saints has gradually shown results.  ?Compared with Bielsa who attaches great importance to offense and plays almost life-threatening offensive football, Ancelotti pays more attention to control and offensive and defensive balance.  Legendary Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi spoke highly of Ancelotti's achievements after coaching Southampton in a column in Gazzetta dello Sport. He believed 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 regarded as a big challenge. It is not easy to make fans forget Bielsa, but I think Ancelo  "Tidi 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." "Belsa has spent several years combining positional warfare with his.  The concept of offensive football has been injected into the blood of the Saints. He has brought the Saints from the original third-level league team to the European hegemony.  Creating advantages in local areas is also Bielsa's pursuit. He is full of desire to attack forward and wants to create advantages behind every pressing defense line of his opponent. "This so-called advantage can be said to be in terms of numbers.  The advantage, that is, in a specific period of time, in a specific area, through the transfer of the ball, the active running of the players, and the smart choice of positions, to create an unmarked free man, this is  "The same is true for Bielsa!" "And we can see that after years of development, especially after Guardiola's great achievements in Barcelona, ??the positional play has evolved.  Rapid development and establishing advantages in the process of advancing from the backcourt to the frontcourt have become crucial in the positional battle style. "During Bielsa's period, the Saints' defense line played an important role in the entire team's tactical system.  Here, it plays a vital role, evenGoalkeeper Neuer is part of the team's tactics. This sweeper goalkeeper who often boldly presses out of the penalty area has completely subverted everyone's understanding of goalkeepers in the past.  " "This is a crazy choice. No goalkeeper has ever done this, but Bielsa chose Neuer. Even in order to better utilize Neuer's ability in this area, the Saints  A lot of money was spent to hire the former Schalke 04 youth training goalkeeper coach Lothar Matushak to come to Southampton to train Neuer and all the Saints' goalkeepers.  ¡°As far as I know, the German youth goalkeeper coach¡¯s best training is the player¡¯s position, and adjusting his position through small steps and a lot of horizontal movement.  " "They believe that through this small side step, the goalkeeper and the ball are always kept in a straight line. At the critical moment, the center of gravity moves to the front foot and suddenly accelerates, which can comprehensively improve Neuer's performance when facing the opponent's offensive player.  Defensive ability.  " "In fact, both Bielsa and Neuer did a pretty good job.  " "Although, as the most daring goalkeeper in history, Neuer still bears the risk of losing control and giving up the goal, but at the same time, by expanding his defensive area, he has made the back line more advanced and the formation more compact.  , the team's pressure is also more aggressive.  " "However, our compatriot, the smart Ancelotti, is like all Italian coaches. They all believe that relying on players is not enough. We should rely on tactics to minimize Neuer's hidden dangers.  " "In positional warfare, the players of the two teams are arranged on the court in an orderly manner, staggering back and forth to attack and defend each other.  ¡± ¡°Ancelotti believes that players occupy key areas at specific moments. When attacking, it is conducive to creating regional advantages. The offense will be closer and faster, and the ball control will be more stable. When defending, the key areas will be more stable.  The occupation of the area is conducive to the team's good positioning structure and facilitates the implementation of high pressure.  " "In this case, offense and defense are integrated into one, regardless of each other.  "Obviously, Ancelotti, my great student, has injected the essence of Italian football into the Saints' tactics. That's why we will see that this season's Saints are not only as sharp offensively as  , but the defense has improved significantly, and the overall lineup structure is more compact, orderly, and rigorous.  " "The first three lines are like iron walls, firmly oppressing the opponent, limiting the opponent's offense, cutting the opponent's line, making it no longer easy for Neuer behind him to directly face the opponent's attack. Therefore, the German goalkeeper  was liberated and took on more offensive and organizational responsibilities.  " "When we played against Juventus, we even saw Neuer unwilling to be left alone until halftime, but Juventus looked at the empty goal behind and was unable to get the ball in.  ¡± The Saints have not only received high praise from Sacchi, but have also been highly recognized by other European celebrities. The key is not the Saints¡¯ winning streak, but what Ancelotti¡¯s team has created in the game.  That kind of stable, efficient, and at the same time desperate ability to kill opponents and kill games. Three days after the end of the first round of the Champions League group stage against Juventus, the Saints returned to the Stadium of Glory in Southampton and won four games again.  They defeated the visiting Leicester City team 0-0 and won five consecutive victories. But what is even more frightening is that in mid-week, Southampton ushered in the fourth round of the league and beat Norwich 5-0 at home.  . On the weekend, the Saints once again played at home and welcomed Southampton. Within two minutes of the opening, they relied on a powerful shot from left back David Alaba to break Swansea's goal.  Goal. In the second half, Sanchez and Harry Kane scored, 3-0, and they won another seven games in a row. But this is not the most surprising thing, it is really shocking!  It¡¯s the dominance shown by the Saints. They haven¡¯t conceded a single goal in seven games. This is terrifying! The Premier League has just begun, and the Saints have achieved such an amazing momentum. This is simply to overwhelm all competition.  The opponents were desperate! But just when 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 of the Bundesliga away from home. In the first three minutes, Bo  Gerba opened the scoring for the Saints with a powerful shot in the penalty area. In the 14th minute, Di Maria's counter-offside shot expanded the score for the Saints. Entering the second half, Suarez,  Di Maria and Kovacic, who came on as a substitute, scored three goals for the Saints, defeating Wolfsburg 5-0.?.  This simply shocked the whole of Europe!  What's even more frightening is that the Saints shot a total of 38 shots in this game, and the ball possession rate was as high as 63%. This was simply a violent bombardment around Wolfsburg.  , only scoring five goals is considered a small number!  The entire European football world was shocked!  No one could have imagined that the Saints would start the new season and achieve such a strong record after a coaching change. This is simply unbelievable!  What¡¯s even more incredible is that for all the results the Saints have achieved, Messi didn¡¯t even play.  If Messi appears, wouldn't Southampton be even more unlucky?  As a result, all fans around the world are discussing the Saints crazily. Almost everyone believes that the Premier League champion in the new season must be the Saints, and in the UEFA Champions League in the new season, the Saints are also the well-deserved number one.  Popular.  However, when the world is generally hyping the saints, there are also 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 top European teams.  Juventus has been weak for many years and has suffered a serious loss of players. Especially this season, without Pirlo, the midfield has been severely weakened.  Wolfsburg is a new team in the Champions League and lacks experience, so its defeat is not surprising.  As for within the Premier League, Southampton has not faced a top four team so far. Although Everton is good, its performance this season is not ideal.  So, to sum up, the Saints' winning streak looks unstoppable, but it's actually not terrible.  ¡°Ancelotti¡¯s team still needs to be tested by a truly strong team!¡± ¡°In the eighth round of the league, the Saints visited Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea. In the third round of the Champions League group stage, the Saints visited the Parc des Princes to challenge Paris Saint-Germain.  , This is the real highlight!¡± At the same time, there are also some problems within the Saints.
