Extraordinary coach

After the International Champions Cup came to an end, Southampton's preparations for the new season were basically completed.

The outstanding performance in the International Champions Cup shows that Southampton's pre-season preparations were very good.

This also caused surprise from the outside world.

"Although the International Champions Cup is a commercial competition, it can only be said to be a warm-up match. But from the fact that they won all three games and Ronaldo scored four goals in three games to win the top scorer. Southampton is now stronger. The state is obviously getting better and better. And Ronaldo has also been well integrated into the Southampton team."

"This champion who is not a champion may be the prophecy of this season."

"As long as Southampton continues in this state, they will definitely be the biggest favorite for the championship. Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League."

Southampton's performance in the International Champions Cup has made championship competitors such as Manchester City feel afraid.

Last season, almost all the trophies were snatched away by Southampton. The current Southampton team is simply not giving others a way to live.

In order to increase the capital to fight against Southampton, Manchester City spent a lot of money to buy its core Mahrez from Leicester City.

Manchester City paid a huge price of 67.8 million euros for this.

Due to the World Cup, there are not many big transfers in this Premier League summer transfer except for Ronaldo's amazing transfer.

Manchester City spent 67.8 million euros to buy Rejerez, which has become the second largest transfer in the Premier League after Ronaldo.

And because the summer transfer window of this season will be closed in advance before the start of the new season.

It can be said that Mahrez's transfer will definitely be a big deal in the top few.

Mahrez joined Manchester City, and many people were shouting. "This time, Southampton will meet an opponent. With Mahrez joining, Manchester City's strength will inevitably increase a lot."

"Southampton, you have to be careful, Manchester City is ready to compete with you for the championship this season."

The outside world is shouting that Manchester City is stronger. But Sun Yi did not comment on this.

Indeed, Mahrez's joining has definitely increased Manchester City's strength. In particular, it has made Manchester City's right side stronger. With Sane on the left, Manchester City will be able to achieve both wings.

However, in Sun Yi's view, Manchester City has only added an A+ player. There is no qualitative change.

In addition to Manchester City's strong signings, several other opponents also bought several good players before the transfer window closed.

Like Liverpool, another strong opponent of Southampton, they bought Alisson, the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian team in this World Cup.

Alisson is a goalkeeper with A+ strength. If Southampton had not run out of money, Sun Yi would have wanted to bring him to Southampton.

With Alisson, Sun Yi believes that Liverpool's goal will become more difficult to break.

In addition, Liverpool also spent 45 million euros to buy Fabinho, a defensive midfielder, from Monaco.

Liverpool's transfers are not very surprising, but in Sun Yi's opinion, they have really increased their strength.

Another rival, Chelsea, has also made large-scale military purchases. They first spent 57 million euros to buy Jorginho from Napoli, and then spent a huge sum of 80 million euros to buy goalkeeper Kepa from Athletic Bilbao.

However, the purchase of Kepa was just a replacement for Courtois who went to Real Madrid.

35 million euros to let Courtois go, and then spent 80 million euros to buy Kepa. Sun Yi said that he was a little confused about this deal.

If he came, it must be the other way around.

As for Arsenal, they are just as stingy as before. In this summer transfer, they bought midfielder Torreira for 30 million euros, but there was no big deal.

It seems that they have no pursuit of the championship in the new season.

Another major rival, Manchester United, did not make any big moves in this summer transfer. Apart from spending 60 million euros to buy Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk, they did not make any other big moves.

Except for a few big transfers by these big clubs, most other Premier League teams did not make any big investments.

It seems that Southampton's strength may have made other teams completely give up the idea of ​​going to the next level.

Judging from the above transfers, in the new Premier League season, except for Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, the other teams are somewhat unmotivated.

Sun Yi is still quite happy about this. In this way, he can put more energy into the Champions League.

With the general transfer situation of this Premier League summer transfer, the strength of most Premier League teams is very clear.

The Premier League 2018-2019 season is getting closer and closer.

However, before the official start of the new season, Southampton's first real championship opportunity of the new season has come.

As the champion of the Premier League last season, Southampton will start a Community Shield game.

Since Southampton also won the English Football Association Cup last season, the opponent of this Community Shield can only be the Premier League runner-up Manchester City.

Well, in fact, the runner-up of the English Football Association Cup is also Manchester City.

Therefore, before the start of the Premier League, Southampton will have to compete with its biggest rival for the first championship of the new season.

This time, the battle for the Community Shield is more than just a charity cup championship title.

More importantly, this game is the opening match for both sides to compete for the championship in various events in the new season.

This is of great significance. It will affect the morale of both sides in the future.

"Here it comes. Our first championship of the new season is waiting for us to win it."

"We must win the first championship of the new season!"

For the Community Shield, Southampton is determined to win it. This is the first test of whether they can create better results than last season. Whether they can have the qualifications to achieve the quadruple championship depends on this battle.

As for the International Champions Cup championship, in their view, it is meaningless. It does not count.

And Manchester City is also very eager for the championship. At the same time, this game may mean more to them.

"This is not just a fight for the first championship. This is a revenge battle for our Manchester City team to redeem itself."

"This battle is a battle of dignity that determines whether we can rebuild ourselves and stand up again."

"We must win this battle!"

"We are the Blue Moon Manchester City team. We have great players, we have lofty goals, and we need to overcome all difficulties to build a great Manchester City team."

"Manchester City team, must win!"
