Extraordinary coach

In the online fan competition, it is obvious that Porto was crushed.

On the day of the match, Porto was crushed again in the number of fans present.

St. Mary's Stadium, which can seat tens of thousands of people, was packed on the day of the match, but the vast majority of fans were wearing Southampton jerseys.

Under the absolute disadvantage in numbers, the slogans of Porto were drowned out by the overwhelming "Southampton, must win!"

Listening to the roar of Southampton, Porto had no choice but to give up shouting slogans to cheer for their team.

It was in vain.

This is Southampton's home stadium. After Southampton attracted more and more fans from all over the world, St. Mary's Stadium has become a famous devil's home stadium in the Premier League since last season.

Moreover, Southampton fans often complain that St. Mary's Stadium is too small. The capacity of more than 30,000 people is simply not enough.

Many people believe that even if Southampton were to move to a stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people, it would still be full all the time.

If it were a stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people, such a home stadium would be really terrifying.

It is said that the board of directors of Southampton discussed building a larger stadium at the end of last season.

If it can come true, it will be an absolute benefit to the fans of Southampton.

However, after greatly increasing investment and buying Ronaldo this season, this idea may have to be shelved.

Let's get back to the point.

Under the unanimous shouts of the Southampton team, the two teams lined up and stepped into St. Mary's Stadium from the player tunnel.

Southampton came to cheer for the entrance ceremony of both sides with unprecedented enthusiasm.

This is Southampton's first appearance in the Champions League, and it is at their home stadium, which makes Southampton fans extremely excited.

After the grand entrance ceremony, both sides started the Champions League game amid the rising cheers of the fans.

This game is of great significance to Southampton, and Sun Yi has paid 200% attention to it.

Not only did he simulate this game many times before the game, but he also sent out the strongest lineup for this game.

In fact, in the last Premier League fifth round, Sun Yi let Ronaldo and other main players rest for today's game.

Now, Southampton's starting lineup is their best lineup.

Ronaldo, Kaka, Balotelli, Van Dijk and others all played, which can prove how much Sun Yi values ​​this game and how determined he is to win.

Southampton sent out the strongest lineup, and the same is true for Porto.

Porto's starting lineup should not be underestimated.

Although they don't have S-level superstars like Ronaldo, and even A+ players are not many. However, most of their starting players are A-level players.

Such strength is still quite strong. If they reach the Premier League, they should be able to compete with Arsenal.

Porto actually has a star, that is their goalkeeper, former Real Madrid goalkeeper, Casillas, known as 'Saint Casillas'.

Casillas is also a legendary goalkeeper. But he is now old.

Sun Yi found that Casillas has declined to the point where he is only A-level.

From this situation, Sun Yi thinks that Casillas's strength in his peak period must be above S-level.

Casillas, Kaka and Adriano were all born in 1981. Many people couldn't help but sigh when they saw them compete together again in this game.

And Sun Yi also planned to let Adriano play as a substitute in the second half. So that these veterans can enjoy the cheers from the crowd together.

Ronaldo, Kaka and Casillas are all former teammates. And Ronaldo has won the Champions League trophy with Casillas.

The three met again on the court, and naturally they were full of emotion.

Before the game started, the three of them talked about the past and seemed to have a mutual respect for each other. But when the game started, they started to fight without mercy.

Ronaldo blasted the goal guarded by Casillas whenever he had a chance. Looking at the power of the shot, he wanted to break the goal.

Kaka also shot at the goal guarded by Casillas whenever he had a chance.

Casillas was also very tenacious. He was in exceptionally good shape today.

His signature quick reaction was still there. He not only blocked many shots of Ronaldo and Kaka with his left and right digs, but also saved Balotelli's first single shot.

Casillas saved Balotelli's single shot, which made Sun Yi couldn't help but admire.

It has to be said that Casillas is in really good shape today. It's a bit scary, and many people can't help but feel like they are dreaming of the "Galactico Battleship".

However, Porto is still one level behind Southampton in terms of strength. In addition, this time the game was held at St. Mary's Stadium. This made the entire game, Southampton team had an absolute advantage.

No matter how brave Casillas was, he still couldn't defend Porto's goal. After all, he could defend ten shots, but not twenty or even thirty shots.

In desperation, Casillas's goal still allowed Southampton team to score two goals.

In the end, Southampton team also relied on these two goals to defeat Porto team at home, thus winning its first victory in the history of the Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that the two goals that Casillas failed to defend were scored by his old teammates, Ronaldo and Kaka.

This was a loss due to the overall strength of the team. Casillas was helpless, but not too disappointed.

After the game, he not only hugged Ronaldo and Kaka one by one, but also exchanged jerseys with Kaka.

This is the mutual appreciation between the two veterans. It is rare to have the opportunity to meet on the court. Who knows if there will be another opportunity in the future.

And Ronaldo was still applauding the exchange of jerseys between the two veterans.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience stood up and applauded them together.

This is a scene that is seen less and less. Even Sun Yi was clapping with emotion on the sidelines.

Watching Casillas, Kaka, Adriano and others hugging each other, Sun Yi couldn't help but feel moved.

Kaka and Adriano were both born in 1981, and they are both offensive players. They can play their remaining heat under Sun Yi.

Casillas is naturally better as a goalkeeper.

If Casillas can be helped to return to his peak, that would be great.

What would it be like if a Casillas who has returned to his peak could come to Southampton?

Sun Yi couldn't help but imagine it.

And he couldn't help but buy Casillas from Porto in his heart.

Unfortunately, the transfer window has ended now.
