Chapter 456: The worst lottery draw

The winter transfer window ended just like that. Southampton became the least contributing team in this Premier League.

Sun Yi didn't care much about this. He cared about something that was about to start.

The draw for the Champions League round of 16.

This was the first time in the history of Southampton that it had reached the knockout stage of the Champions League.

It was also the first time in Sun Yi's life that he had reached this point. He didn't want this to be his final journey this season.

He had enough confidence in other competitions. But in the Champions League, he was just a rookie after all. So he could only hope that Southampton would get a good draw this time.

Sun Yi was really concerned about the draw for the Champions League round of 16.

No, it should be said that the entire Southampton team was paying special attention to it.

For this reason, the Southampton team simply organized everyone to watch the draw ceremony together.

But when the draw began to draw opponents for Southampton, Sun Yi was as nervous as everyone else.

"God, please bless me with a good draw!"

"Dortmund, or Roma, or Lyon will do!"

However, this time God played a joke on Sun Yi.

He didn't draw the opponents he expected, but the Real Madrid team he didn't want to meet.

"I copied! Real Madrid, the champion of the Champions League three times in a row. Damn, this joke is a bit too big."

No matter how much changes Real Madrid has made in the team now, the three consecutive Champions League titles are scary. No matter how confident Sun Yi is, he can't help but feel nervous and under great pressure.

Sun Yi thinks that even Barcelona is better than Real Madrid!

Now Barcelona can only be a bully in La Liga. In the Champions League, they really have no competitiveness in recent years.

Sun Yi really doesn't want to meet Real Madrid now.

However, the one who feels the most complicated about being drawn to Real Madrid is naturally Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo just transferred from Real Madrid to Southampton this season. This happened just after the Champions League reached the round of 16, which really made him feel at a loss for words.

What should Ronaldo do against Real Madrid? Should he be ruthless?

These have become the problems that Ronaldo needs to worry about.

If it weren't for UEFA's refusal to recognize the avoidance clause, Ronaldo might be depressed, not just worried.

"Drawing Real Madrid is really a bad draw!"

"Meeting the three-time Champions League champion, I'm afraid our Southampton team's Champions League will end."

Southampton fans are also very dissatisfied with the draw. They really have no confidence in eliminating Real Madrid.

People from other teams are very happy to see this.

"Haha. This should be the best draw of this Champions League."

"Last season's triple crown winner vs. the Champions League three-time champion, this is absolutely exciting."

"Plus C Ronaldo turned against Real Madrid, this is too exciting!"

"I can't wait to watch this game."

"I want to see C Ronaldo's expression at that time, and also think about the expression of old Sir Alex Ferguson, I believe it will be exciting!"

These are still people who want to see exciting duels. In fact, many teams that regard Southampton and Real Madrid as strong contenders for the championship are almost happy.

The two teams met, which is equivalent to eliminating a strong competitor.

It has to be said that such a draw made Southampton a little unhappy.

However, the duel with Real Madrid did not come so early. There is still a long way to go.

Before that, Southampton still has a lot to do.

For example, after the Champions League draw, Southampton immediately went to the away game against Burnley.

In order to eliminate the depression of facing Real Madrid in the Champions League, Sun Yi decided to make a good effort in the Premier League to relieve everyone's pressure.

So, Burnley was unlucky.

They were trying to avoid relegation, and they originally hoped to get points at their home court. They thought that by parking the bus and taking advantage of the home court. They still had hope of getting one point.

As a result, not only did they not get any points, but they were also beaten by Southampton at home.

A bloody massacre of 5 to 0.

This not only made the players of the Burnley team have no temper, but also made their fans cry after the game.

The people of the Southampton team naturally didn't care about the thoughts of the Burnley fans. Not only were the fans particularly happy about such a score, but the players' minds were also separated from the bad draw in the Champions League.

"It's so cool to score so many goals!"

"Next time I will score more goals."

Not only did Sun Yi feel satisfied, but the players of the Southampton team were also happier. Especially Ronaldo, who performed a hat trick in this game.

Ronaldo's killer performance made Southampton fans look forward to the match against Real Madrid.

"If Ronaldo can keep up this hot form, it will be great to play against Real Madrid."

"If Ronaldo can score three goals against Real Madrid. Wow! Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited."

"..."

Such a wish is really exciting. Unfortunately, it's still a long way to go before Southampton plays against Real Madrid.

However, taking advantage of the good days of the Spring Festival, Sun Yi made such a wish.

After a happy Spring Festival, Sun Yi led Southampton to the next game.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, Southampton returned to their home ground to face Cardiff City.

Cardiff City is currently struggling on the edge of the relegation zone.

Such an opponent is undoubtedly a weak team for Southampton.

But if you really meet it, it will be very difficult. Because this kind of team will fight you desperately.

As a result, when the game came, it was indeed the case. Facing Southampton, which has never lost a game so far this season, the players of Cardiff City are really fighting hard.

And they are completely unscrupulous in order to get points.

All kinds of small moves and all kinds of rough behavior have come out. It poses a great health threat to the players on the field of Southampton.

Fortunately, in this game, Sun Yi arranged for C Ronaldo and other absolute main players to rest. Otherwise, he would definitely be nervous throughout the game.

In the end, although the game was not easy, Southampton still won.

Fortunately, despite the desperate efforts of Cardiff City, Southampton did not have any players injured. Only a few players suffered minor skin injuries.

In this game, Sun Yi arranged for Target to start. His performance was very good, and he did not frown even when confronting the opponent head-on, which made Sun Yi quite satisfied.
