Chapter 746: Winning

"Bayern Munich entered Southampton's half and the Saints retreated to the front of the penalty area again."

"Lahm takes the ball and passes it to Robben on the right."

"Robben faced David Alaba, made a sudden stop and change of direction, and cut towards the middle!"

"Nice tackle, Modric!"

"Robben fell to the ground, but the referee indicated that there was no foul. The ball fell at the feet of Hazard who was returning to defense. A long pass was made to the front court, looking for Ibrahimovic!"

"Ibrahimovic got the ball and tried to dribble forward himself, but Jerome Boateng and Dante followed him closely and passed it to the left!"

"Great, the left side is open, Suarez!"

"The ball goes in!"

When Ibrahimovic used his powerful deterrent power to attract Boateng and Dante to the top of the penalty area, Suarez appeared quietly on the left rib.

The Swedish center forward passed the ball into the penalty area, Suarez immediately followed up and easily pushed the ball into the goal!

“Two to zero!”

"Southampton, 31st minute, another goal!"

"It was amazing! Both goals were scored through counterattacks!"

"Bayern Munich's problems were too obvious. They had two very sharp counterattacks just now and almost scored a goal, but Bayern Munich has not learned its lesson. This time, Southampton finally scored again!"

"This is the hero of the goal, Suarez!"

"This Uruguayan striker, who played for Liverpool last season and was banned by the FA for biting, was forced to receive psychological counseling after switching to Southampton this season. I don't know if his psychological illness of biting has been cured, but at least his condition has been completely activated!"

"This season he has played 33 games in the Premier League and scored 33 goals, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo who played for Manchester United that year. What's more frightening is that he also had 15 assists. He alone contributed 48 league goals for Southampton. His form is extremely good!"

"Not only that, his performance in the Champions League is also amazing. Although he has the top striker Ibrahimovic in excellent form next to him, Suarez's performance is not inferior, especially in the knockout stage!"

"In this game, Suarez and Ibrahimovic each made one assist and one goal, and both of them are in very good form!"

"What's interesting is that in terms of league goal data, Suarez has surpassed the two La Liga superstars Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the Champions League, Ibrahimovic's goal data has also surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"We have every reason to believe that with these two magical weapons, Southampton will have a good chance of continuing on its path to becoming a legendary dark horse!"

…

In the president's office at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, Florentino sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the live broadcast of the game on the TV screen in front of him.

He stayed in the office specifically to watch this game tonight because he wanted to see how Southampton performed.

Originally, his number one focus was Modric.

The Croatian star has decided to move to the Bernabeu in the summer.

Unexpectedly, Modric's performance was indeed shocking, but what was even more amazing was Suarez!

"This is a phenomenal player, Jose!"

José Ángel Sánchez, Real Madrid's general manager, was sitting diagonally opposite Florentino at this time.

After hearing what the chairman said, Sanchez understood in his heart and nodded in agreement: "In the first half, Suarez's performance was outstanding but not surprising. But in the second half, his crazy goals and omnipotent performance were truly phenomenal. He has transformed into a superstar!"

It is indeed surprising because Southampton’s ability to create stars is really strong.

You know, creating stars is not just about using the media and the Internet to create influence for players, it also has to be supported by on-field performance!

And this kind of performance is not just about the number of goals, but a feeling for the fans!

It can be said that the current Suarez is a comprehensive upgrade compared to the Suarez at Liverpool a year ago!

"There are still three rounds of Premier League games left. Suarez has scored 33 goals, and he is only one step away from breaking the Premier League single-season goal record of 34 goals set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer 20 years ago!"

Florentino kept nodding his head. This is a record that even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't break!

Can Suarez break it?

"Southampton's scouts are really good. Almost all the players they recruit are very targeted. The entire club is very professional, and the training of the players is also very good. So, after sending Gareth Bale away last year, Suarez immediately appeared this year!"

Speaking of this, Sanchez felt somewhat emotional.

In the past few years, he has been in charge of Real Madrid's superstar operations, from Beckham, to Cristiano Ronaldo, to Gareth Bale last year.

So he knows very well how difficult it is to train such a star.

But Southampton has one every year, which is simply incredible!

Behind this, it should be the data analysis system that Yang Huan invested heavily in over the past few years that is playing a role.

On the court, the game has started again.

Bayern Munich fell behind by two goals, but launched an even more frenzied counterattack, while Southampton continued to retreat.

But this time, Bayern Munich's counterattack was more fierce, and the Saints' defense was under tremendous pressure.

But the performances of Varane and Javi Martinez were both quite outstanding, especially Javi Martinez, who sat in the back line, cooperated with Neuer, and commanded the team with confidence, showing the style of a very defensive commander.

Florentino stared at the TV screen and asked calmly, "Do you think we can bring in Suarez?"

Sanchez was prepared, so he wasn't surprised at all.

According to Real Madrid's plan, they will also introduce a superstar this summer.

Judging from the current situation, no matter how he performs in the World Cup, Suarez will definitely be the most dazzling one in the transfer market!

"Based on Southampton's transfer strategy in the past few years, it is entirely possible!"

"What do you mean?" Florentino then withdrew his gaze and looked at the general manager of Real Madrid.

"The Saints' motto has always been that there are no indispensable players, so in the past few years, as long as they can afford the price, they will not force players to stay. There is even a saying in European football that the Saints are a superstar factory!"

In the past few seasons, Southampton has been the protagonist in the transfer market.

However, he was the protagonist who was poached!

But the Saints just have this ability. The more they are poached, the stronger the team's overall strength becomes.

All of this comes from the team's shrewd transfer operations.

Therefore, the Saints are not afraid of the loss of superstars at all, and naturally do not mind selling their star players.

But soon, Sanchez smiled again, "However, if you want to convince the Saints to sell Suarez, I'm afraid you have to offer a sky-high price, but it shouldn't be too outrageous, after all, Barcelona has no money!"

When Florentino heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

Barcelona has no money, so there are very few rich players left in the transfer market.

It can even be said that Suarez's only possible next club is Real Madrid!

"Is it going to exceed 100 million?" Florentino asked.

Sanchez thought about it for a moment and nodded, "It should be more than that!"

Florentino knew what was going on. "Well, you go and arrange this matter. Try it out first, but don't go too far!"

He didn't want to offend Yang Huan for the sake of a player. That would be such a loss.

"Okay, I understand!"

Florentino said nothing more.

When he raised his head and looked at TV again, it was just when Southampton launched a counterattack.

Hazard was seen taking the ball from the left and cutting inside, making a long diagonal pass behind the right defense line.

Sanchez was very fast and caught the ball before Contento. He wanted to pass the ball to the bottom line, but the ball hit Contento's feet and went out of the baseline for a corner kick.

Toni Kroos was responsible for taking the corner kick.

In the penalty area, players such as Ibrahimovic, Varane, Javi Martinez and Suarez have surrounded him.

There was a sudden panic in front of Bayern Munich's goal.

"Guardiola's team has always had a weakness in defending set pieces, and Bayern Munich's ability to defend set pieces is also problematic this season. It depends on whether Southampton can seize the opportunity again this time!"

"Bielsa also seemed to take it very seriously. He ran to the sidelines and shouted at the players. I don't know what he was saying."

However, the TV camera cleverly captured that Ibrahimovic in the penalty area gave a thumbs up to Toni Kroos in the corner area, as if to say, I believe you can pass it over my head.

And with the referee's whistle, Toni Kroos decisively took a corner kick.

The ball was spinning strongly and was heading straight towards Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center also got ready, and despite being double-teamed by Dante and Boateng from the front and back, he forced himself to rush forward, with an attitude of "whoever stands in my way will die"!

This immediately caused chaos in Bayern Munich's penalty area, and the defensive players were on edge, with all their attention focused on the Swedish center forward.

There's no way. He's over 1.9 meters tall and as strong as a bull. Who dares to be careless?

But when the ball fell, players such as Dante and Boateng were surprised to find that the ball seemed to be kicked too high?

Hey, how did it fly over Ibrahimovic's head?

But when they looked at the back point again, Varane, who had been lying in ambush in the crowd, suddenly rushed out from the side. There were short people everywhere around him, which made Varane, who jumped high, stand out so much.

There was a bang, and the ball hit Varane's head, turned in one direction, fell to the ground, bounced up, and hit the lower left corner of the goal!

"The 38th minute, the 38th minute, 3-0, 3-0!"

"Southampton, Southampton, three to zero!"

"Oh my God, Toni Kroos' corner kick was so accurate, it was almost heading for Varane's head. There was no need for any adjustment, as long as he hit it, the ball would be in his goal!"

"It's amazing! Southampton's third goal!"

"Bayern Munich is now in a desperate situation, falling behind by three goals at the Allianz Arena!"

"And their goalkeeper, Kraft, has completely lost confidence. Facing Varane's header just now, he didn't even react at all. It is obvious that the mistake after the opening was too heavy for him!"

The live TV camera captured it again at this time. After Varane scored, Ibrahimovic ran over to celebrate with the French center back and gave a thumbs up to Toni Kroos who was running over.

Everyone realized at this time that the thumbs-up meant, I believe you can pass the ball to Varane behind me!

Three to zero!

Southampton is sure to win!
