Chapter 935 This is impossible!

Remember in one second

"Master Huan, what does that sentence mean?"

Although there were two people between them, English Football Association Chairman David Bernstein still leaned over and asked curiously.

Yang Huan spread his hands, "How should I know? Did a disaster happen to you?"

Some people just like to be with disaster victims whether they understand or not, who knows?

But has a disaster occurred somewhere?

The newspaper didn't say anything about that.

However, the earth is so big and so many things happen every day. Who knows where it is?

No matter what, the Saints players must have their own reasons for doing this, right?

"Master Huan, the concept of your tactics is indeed very interesting."

England legend Howard Wilkinson, who was sitting in the row behind Yang Huan, said with admiration.

"The concept is very advanced, combining the most advanced tactical concepts in Europe while maintaining the traditional characteristics of English football. This is indeed worth learning from for other Premier League teams."

If Southampton did not show much last season, then this season, the Saints, after fully accelerating, have demonstrated the local characteristics of English football.

Bielsa's team played very sharply. After speeding up, their attacking lines were simple and clear, and their passing and receiving were accurate and fast. After losing the ball, their immediate counter-attack was also quite characteristic of England's pressing style.

How to say it?

Today's Saints are a bit like Barcelona after speeding up!

In Guardiola's time, Barcelona emphasized fast and slow.

In other words, after losing the ball, they can quickly slow down the pace after regaining possession of the ball, until they find a loophole in the opponent, and then speed up again.

Barcelona's style of play, with a combination of fast and slow movements, is an ideal combination, coupled with the players' high execution ability, so it created the Dream Team III's peak dynasty. Even now, Enrique still cannot get out of Guardiola's shadow.

But Bielsa's Saints are clearly a step further than Barcelona.

Last season's Saints were very similar to Barcelona's Dream Team III, focusing on ball possession and changes in fast and slow tempos.

The midfield of James Rodriguez, Modric and Toni Kroos was set up to chase possession of the ball.

But this season, James Rodriguez and Modric were sold, and Ibrahimovic was sold in the frontcourt, replaced by Suarez, who has better running ability. Bielsa's team has accelerated across the board.

How to say it?

In the second half, the Saints played at a really fast pace.

Not only is he fast when counterattacking and attacking, he is also fast when controlling the ball.

The players' running on the court and the speed of passing the ball are very exciting to watch, so the fans are very excited.

There is a reason for this!

Because it’s fast, it definitely won’t be boring.

But in the eyes of veteran experts like Howard Wilkinson, this creates a problem.

"Master Huan, how long can you maintain this speed?"

The Chinese have a saying that goes, The only martial art that cannot be defeated is speed.

The same is true in football, the faster you are, the more dangerous you are.

If a team with a fast offense-defense transition speed meets a team with a slow offense-defense transition speed, it will be crushed.

But blindly pursuing speed is impossible because it will cause two problems.

One is accuracy.

As we all know, the faster the speed, the higher the error rate will be, especially when passing and receiving the ball. The faster it is, the harder it is to control the ball, and the higher the error rate will be.

However, judging from the technical skills of this group of Saints players, there is no big problem in this regard.

The players' outstanding technical skills ensure the accuracy of the team's passing and receiving after speeding up.

But the second problem is physical fitness.

Football matches are the sports events that consume the most physical energy, so football matches can only be held once a week. Holding two matches a week would be a bit too much.

Even so, professional players, especially those in the top European leagues, only run about ten to eleven kilometers per game on average. Running sixteen kilometers in ninety minutes like Beckham is simply abnormal.

And it can only be done occasionally, one or two games at a time. Otherwise, Beckham would have collapsed long ago.

In other words, professional players' bodies have limits.

Just like Klopp's Dortmund before, how long can their crazy, fast-paced, pressing and surrounding style of play last?

At most, it would be more than sixty minutes, including the fifteen-minute break at halftime. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't last that long.

This is also why Guardiola's Barcelona adopts a fast and slow style of play.

The players' physical fitness is simply not enough to ensure that the team can play at such a fast pace for 90 minutes; otherwise, the team will collapse.

So, how long can Southampton maintain such a fast-paced style of play? This is a big question.

After hearing Howard Wilkinson's question, Yang Huan smiled and said, "At least seventy minutes!"

"Seventy minutes?" Howard Wilkinson opened his eyes and immediately revealed an expression of disbelief. "At least?"

Isn’t this too unbelievable?

"If everything goes well, eighty minutes is entirely possible!"

"What?" Howard Wilkinson was completely stunned.

Eighty minutes?

This is almost the end of the game!

"How is this possible?" Howard Wilkinson shook his head vigorously, "This is impossible!"

He was almost stunned.

Yang Huan smiled faintly and shook his head. "Nothing is impossible. As long as we establish a targeted scientific training mechanism and eating habits for each player, and supplement them with high-level auxiliary equipment, it is completely possible!"

"But but, this..." Howard Wilkinson was speechless.

So far in this Champions League final, Southampton players seem to be in pretty good shape and should have no problem handling the entire game at such a fast pace.

In other words, the second half, including the extra time, lasted at least fifty minutes.

And what about the consumption in the first half?

That's pretty big too, okay?

So, what Yang Huan said about playing at a fast pace for 70 minutes, or even 80 minutes, is not nonsense.

Southampton has been unstoppable in the Premier League and the Champions League this season. The players' active running is a very noticeable part of it. The running distance on many fields has reached an astonishing level.

Before, everyone thought that this was the result of the players’ desperate efforts.

But now it seems that it is not just that, but the club has its own unique way of training.

Howard Wilkinson couldn't help but think of the artificial genius plan proposed by Yang Huan back then.

Could this be one of the results of that plan?

When Yang Huan saw Howard Wilkinson's shocked expression, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He has invested so much in research and development every year over the years. Does he really think it's fake?

Now, even the domestic military is interested in the saint's scientific research results. They tried every means to induce Yang Huan to secretly transfer the research center to the country, and then made great promises to him, intending to use it for military purposes.

They even secretly came up with a so-called enhanced special training program for super soldiers, which Yang Huan jokingly called a super soldier training program.

From this we can see that the saints’ research in this area is indeed unique.

"In fact, Di Maria and Fabregas have only just arrived. With more time, I guarantee that Southampton will be even stronger!"

When saying this, Yang Huan was extremely confident.

It’s simple, because he has something to brag about!

Howard Wilkinson looked at David Bernstein, who also looked helpless.

Looking at Master Huan's attitude, Southampton is likely to create its own dynasty not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League!

If we say that Barcelona's Dream Team III swept across Europe simply by relying on its advanced tactical concepts.

So now, the Saints have to use advanced technology and advanced tactical concepts to build the Saints.

The Saints' dominance must be greater than that of Barcelona.

Everyone knows that technology is the primary productive force!

Of course, the Saints' so-called advanced technology is only relative to the football world. When it comes to areas outside of football, it's probably not that advanced.

But no matter what, Master Huan really played a big game this time.

If that's true, who can stop Southampton?

Look at Platini sitting next to him. The UEFA President should be quite depressed now, right?

He really wants Bayern Munich to beat Southampton, but there is nothing he can do. It's not that Bayern Munich is too weak, but that the Saints are too strong and too advanced to be stopped!

Not to mention that they can’t be stopped this year, if the Saints continue on this path, they will still be unstoppable next year.

Who can withstand the Saints’ attack?

With the Saints scoring the second goal, there was not much suspense in the game.

Bayern Munich is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, is relatively passive in tactics, and the players' mentality is unbalanced, so they really have no ability to turn the situation around.

Even if Guardiola wanted to reverse the situation, he was powerless.

Even the famous Spanish coach had to continue to strengthen the team's defense to ensure that Bayern Munich would not concede more goals to the Saints.

After all, when you are not as skilled as your opponent, instead of attacking rashly and being beaten by your opponent with an embarrassing big score, it is better to be pragmatic and hold the situation steadily first.

If Bayern Munich were to suffer a massacre at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, their reputation would be completely ruined.

Not to mention Guardiola, I'm afraid even the management of Bayern Munich will suffer.

As for this game, anyone who has a little knowledge of football can easily see that the Saints' strength is far beyond that of Bayern Munich.

This is also a very helpless reality!

Bielsa's team is indeed strong, so strong that it has no friends and no rivals!

But even if Guardiola completely gave up counterattacks and attacks and began to focus on defense, Bayern Munich still eventually had loopholes again under Southampton's fierce attack.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Harry Kane, a substitute, intercepted the ball from Jerome Boateng during an active counter-attack in the frontcourt and assisted Hazard to score the third goal of the game.

In the end, Southampton defeated Bayern Munich 3-0 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium with three goals from Sanchez, David Alaba and Hazard, and successfully defended the Champions League title!

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Southampton players, coaches and staff who had been waiting impatiently on the sidelines quickly rushed into the stadium, and the Saints fans in the stands cheered and cheered wildly.

Defending the title!

The Saints actually successfully defended their title!

This is the first time in more than 20 years since the Champions League was restructured that a team has successfully defended the Champions League title!

How surprising!

It's incredible!

You know, Bayern Munich is one of the top teams in Europe, but in this game, in front of the powerful Southampton, the Bundesliga giants were beaten so badly that they had no power to fight back.

Let me ask, in the entire European football world, who else can stop the Saints?

Who else can do it?
