Chapter 499 The Champion with High Gold Content

Southampton reached the quarter-finals.

With Chelsea eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain, only Southampton and Manchester City are left to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The gold content of the quarter-finals of the Champions League is not particularly high. In addition to Southampton and Manchester City, it is the Madrid duo Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the Bundesliga overlord Bayern, the Ligue [-] Paris, and the Bundesliga Wolff. Fort and Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.

In terms of strength, Wolfsburg and Benfica are definitely in the second echelon.

Southampton, of course, did not have such luck.

They met Atletico Madrid in the draw, Manchester City met Paris, Bayern met Benfica, Real Madrid met Wolfsburg, and drew a good lottery.

Ji Ya didn't pay too much attention to the result of the draw. He has already won the Champions Cup twice in a row, and he doesn't expect UEFA to favor them in the draw, as long as the whistle is not crooked.

After returning to the league, Southampton beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home with a lot of players in rotation. Obviously, Klopp's transformation of Liverpool will take time.

The victory put Southampton 23 points ahead of Tottenham with five rounds remaining in the league, and it also allowed Southampton to create a new record - they have won the most early championship rounds in the history of the Premier League team!

Win the league seven rounds ahead of schedule!

In the past, no matter how great the leading advantage was, winning the championship six rounds ahead of schedule was already a very scary result, but now, Southampton has achieved the result of winning the championship seven rounds ahead of schedule!

Although their own performance is good enough, in the 31 rounds of the league, they achieved 26 wins, four draws and one loss, and scored 82 points, but it was mainly because his opponents performed collectively. The Thorns only won 31 games in [-] rounds, and they ranked second because they only lost four games, which is the team with the fewest losses outside of Southampton.

Arsenal lost seven games, Manchester United lost eight games, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all lost nine games. Losing so many games in 31 rounds would basically lose the chance to hit the championship.

To put it nicely, the overall strength of the Premier League has become stronger. To put it bluntly, it is the performance of the strong Premier League teams that have collectively regressed.

This may be related to the upcoming new broadcast fee contract for the Premier League next season. In the next three-year broadcast fee contract, the income of the Premier League teams will skyrocket.

The total income of the previous three-year contract in the Premier League was 22 billion pounds, of which the income from overseas broadcasting fees was more than 7 million pounds. This allowed the Premier League teams to earn tens of millions of pounds each year. This is already an astonishing figure. up.

And what next?

The amount of overseas broadcast fees alone is more than this.

In the next three years, the total value of Premier League broadcast contracts reached a staggering 81 billion pounds!Among them, overseas broadcasting reached 30 billion, which means that the Premier League team's share of the broadcasting fee alone will reach the scale of [-] million each year!

Under this stimulus, the middle and lower reaches of the team are desperately strengthening their strength this summer, but the strong team is a little slow, which has led to this season's strong teams and the performance of the strong teams.

After all, if you stay in the Premier League, you may get hundreds of millions of pounds in broadcast fees next season, so what team won't work hard?

If it was said before that the 4000 million broadcast fee of staying in the Premier League would not cost the Premier League teams too much transfer fees, then this amount of hundreds of millions of pounds is enough for the Premier League clubs to take risks.

This is also the reason why weak teams are so desperate every game this season.

From this perspective, Southampton's outstanding performance this season is not because they are in a low-level competitive environment, but it can prove their strength this season.

Those weak teams that the strong teams cannot win, they can still maintain a high winning percentage.

What does this mean?

It shows how powerful they are!

Winning the championship seven rounds ahead of schedule will not only reduce the gold content of their great championship, but will instead make their championship the most glorious one ever!

The fans of Southampton started a grand celebration, and Ji Ya and the players also participated. They cheered loudly, celebrating that after losing a league title, they quickly passed the great performance and regained the league title. Grab it back!

"We are saints! Southampton is a land favored by God! Kiya is our son of God!"

Many fans blatantly yelled this on the street, and Ji Ya was a little stunned when he heard it...

How could I, a new socialist youth who grew up with atheism well, become a son of God for no reason?

But thinking about it, Ji Ya didn't take it to heart, he knew who he was anyway, he knew best in his heart.

He felt very happy to have such a life, and he just wanted to continue like this.

The celebration lasted for almost a week, and the No.30 second round Kiya continued to send most of the substitutes to challenge Leicester City away.

Leicester City once led Southampton for more than 70 minutes, but Du Yue's lightning strike prevented Leicester City from scoring three points and allowed Southampton to keep their unbeaten record.

Southampton fans don't care about the final result of this game. What they care about is the next Champions League game and the FA Cup game.

Of course, the most important thing is the Champions League.

"Atletico Madrid is not an easy opponent to deal with. They also performed very well in La Liga this season. Although Costa moved and left, they lost a top striker, but their overall performance is still very good."

Ji Ya told the players in the locker room that Atletico Madrid was suppressed by Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league mainly because their offensive players were worse. There was no MSN or BBC, only Torres who was far worse than before...

If Torres was ten years ago, he would have been really strong. Unfortunately, the current Torres is not what it used to be.

Griezmann can also score goals, but he is not a very strong center forward.

But Atletico Madrid's defense is really tough.

How to tear apart the opponent's line of defense is the most important issue to consider.

Compared with Atletico Madrid, Southampton's offense is better, but their defense will always have some problems.

And in the face of Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Southampton will be a little difficult to deal with when they are pressing the offense.

But if they don't press on the offense, it will be difficult to tear apart Atletico Madrid's solid defense.

This is a dilemma.

But no matter how difficult it is to play, they must persevere, beat Atletico Madrid, and then continue to advance in the Champions League!

Southampton played at home in the first round, which is another disadvantage, but Southampton players are used to this disadvantage.

Anyway, most of the time they play at home first and then away.
