Chapter 809 Red vs. Red

"The joy of the league championship has not dissipated, and the Southampton players have started training again, because in the next new Wembley Stadium, they will usher in the challenge of Manchester United. The FA Cup champion, this ancient Southampton did not particularly care about the honor before, but this season, they will definitely care, because this season, they have the opportunity to win the honor of the Triple Crown again!"

"Southampton is the eighth team to win the Triple Crown in the history of European football, but none of the previous teams that won the Triple Crown had a chance to win the second Triple Crown, even if Ajax created the Champions League three at that time. Even with the honor, Barcelona also had two chances to hit the second triple crown, but they failed to win the second triple crown!"

"After Barcelona won the Triple Crown in the 08-09 season, they had several chances to win the Triple Crown again. In the 09-10 season, they still had no rivals in the league, but they accidentally missed in the Champions League and the King's Cup. They made a comeback in the 10-11 season and won the Champions League and the league. However, in the King's Cup final, Ronaldo's overtime header made them lose the championship. The next time they were closest to the Triple Crown was 14- It's been 15 seasons. At that time, they were invincible in the league and the King's Cup, but they were beaten by Southampton in the Champions League final! Thus they lost the chance to win the Triple Crown again! So if Southampton can still win the Triple Crown this year Wang, then they can become the first team in continental Europe to win the Triple Crown twice!"

There are still a few days before the start of the FA Cup, and the honor of the FA Cup is really not particularly important, so they began to desperately exaggerate the significance and importance of Southampton hitting the Triple Crown again...

But this meaning is really quite important.

After all, the Triple Crown is already very important, let alone winning the Triple Crown for the second time.

For Southampton, this is indeed an honor worthy of special mention.

Their opponent is Manchester United.

Mourinho's coaching at Manchester United in the past two seasons is actually quite effective. Last season, he led the team to win the Europa League. This is the only championship Manchester United won after Ferguson retired, and it is also quite heavyweight. The championship, and Manchester United's performance this season is also very good. If it weren't for the performance of Manchester City and Southampton that was too bad, they finally got 84 points, and they would have a chance to hit the championship in previous years.

So for the time being, Mourinho's position is still stable. Although the fans are a little disappointed, but considering that his performance in the past two seasons is already the most impressive performance of a Manchester United coach after Ferguson, it seems that he can have confidence in his next coaching. There is hope for more.

However, the management is actually somewhat dissatisfied. After all, he has spent a lot of money in recent years-just last season, two high-priced players Pogba and Lukaku cost Manchester City 7000 million pounds. Still can't win a championship, Manchester United's management is really a little upset.

Of course, although there is no championship, Manchester United has returned to the top four and started to play the Champions League continuously. This has allowed Manchester United to maintain growth in revenue, and Manchester United's management is quite satisfied with this.

Of course, Mourinho can perceive the subtle mentality of the management, so he still attaches great importance to this game. Winning one more championship can at least give the management more confidence.

Although they encountered Southampton at this time, they still had to fight hard.

May [-], the new Wembley Stadium.

Fans from both sides occupied the entire stadium, exactly half of the stadium.

Manchester United's traditional jersey is red, and Southampton has quietly changed the style of the jersey every year after Ji Ya took over. Now it is basically all red, but some white is kept on the arms and other parts, so the whole stadium looks , that is really the red ocean.

Of course, the players on both sides will definitely not wear the main clothes. In the previous draw for the home and away teams, Southampton drew the home team, so Manchester United can only use their white away jerseys depressedly. I was a little upset at the beginning.

What's interesting is that most of England's traditional strong teams have red jerseys, which also makes them always have a red whirlwind in the European arena. In contrast, strong teams wearing blue jerseys such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Everett Dayton, the performance in the European arena is often not as good as the red jersey.

In the 80s, Liverpool's Red Army era suppressed the whole of Europe, and it was the red Nottingham Forest that broke their monopoly in the middle, followed by Manchester United's Red Devils era. When Southampton rose, their jerseys became more and more red. The era of the red saints belongs to them...

So in this red confrontation, Southampton won the identity of the home team, and Manchester United fans will of course be upset.

When the players from both sides played, the fans from both sides cheered in the stands, but most of the Manchester United fans in red jerseys cheered as if they were facing Southampton...

"It's disgusting!" Many Manchester United fans were cursing.

"An FA Cup means nothing to you, let us win the Triple Crown!" Ji Ya said when shaking hands with Mourinho.

"Preventing the emergence of a triple crown is the meaning of this game." Mourinho smiled slightly.

Among the current head coaches, the ones who have won the Triple Crown are nothing more than these two present, plus Guardiola. Although Heynckes has also won the Triple Crown, he has finished coaching this season. Continuing to retire, it is obvious that there will be no more competition for the hegemony.

Apart from these three, no matter how many championships other coaches have won, they cannot compare with them.

And they have won many championships themselves.

They are all well-deserved champion coaches.

It's just that Ji Ya is in full swing now, and Mourinho has been a little tired in the past two years.

And in the face-to-face cup championship competition, he lost once last season-in the League Cup final, Mourinho's Manchester United lost to Ji Ya's Southampton, and Ji Ya gave Mourinho A dismounted Mawei.

Meeting Southampton at this time, Mourinho felt that it was also a chance for him to take revenge, just like what he said just now-blocking the emergence of a Triple Crown is also a very boastful thing.

"Let's see if you can do it... Real Madrid cornered us, Man City cornered us and I have to say those two bald guys did a great job... What about you? Can you Did you do it?" Kiyoshi asked.

Although he is much younger than Mourinho, the momentum he has accumulated after winning the championship in the past few years is already compelling enough.

"If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't be in this position." Mourinho said without showing any weakness.
