After the 3-0 win in the first leg at the Allianz Arena, everyone was looking forward to the second leg of the St Mary's match, and the two sides were fighting before the game.

For example, Pep Guardiola said that Bayern Munich still has a chance, and the away game must be turned around.

Even, the big players in the Bayern Munich team, as well as the club's senior management, have also expressed their opinions, believing that the team still has the possibility of a reversal.

But what about Southampton?

is also not to be outdone, even Bielsa, who has always been bad at expressing his stance in front of the media, rarely replied that we have never lost at St. Mary's Stadium, such domineering and awe-inspiring words.

But no matter how the two sides fought before the game, how the media created momentum, and even the media of the two countries were about to entangle this game with the grievances between England and Germany for many years, the real battlefield was still on the football field.

Compared to the first leg, there was hardly any change between the two sides.

Not only has the lineup not changed, but even the tactics of the starters have not changed in the slightest.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich, who were playing away, took the initiative in the game.

Southampton, on the other hand, was very patient in organizing the defense and letting Bayern Munich attack.

This made the Bundesliga team feel very helpless, because they found that the iron wall that could not be broken through in the first leg was still not broken in the second leg.

At this time, even the on-site commentator at St. Mary's Stadium acted as a master tactician, unceremoniously pointing out Bayern Munich's forward line, believing that Thomas Muller was not suitable to play as a center forward at all.

Bayern Munich's forward problems have also been around for a long time, and they tried to bring in Mandzukic but were unsuccessful, and then they have not been able to find a suitable center forward, and it is only recently that Lewandowski was brought in from Borussia Dortmund on a free basis.

But if the Bundesliga striker wants to play for Bayern Munich, he will have to wait until next season!

Don't look at Bayern Munich always in possession, but in reality, they didn't get their first shot until the 25th minute, but Ribery's shot was clearly crooked.

Within half an hour, Bayern Munich had only one shot on goal.

Instead, in possession? Southampton, which is an absolute disadvantage, had a total of three shots on goal in the first half hour, two on target.

Bielsa's team is still very efficient in attack!

But it was in the 36th minute that really changed the game.

Eden Hazard broke through on the left and caused a foul on Raphinha to win Southampton a set-piece in front.

Toni Kroos came to take the penalty, Xavi Martinez was in the box, through the cover of Varane, beat Dante, and hit the header to open the scoring for Southampton!

The score remained until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Pep Guardiola finally couldn't take it anymore and made adjustments, pulling Lahm back into the backline, putting the burden of the entire midfield in the hands of Schweinsteiger and Thiago.

It's clear that this is a gamble!

It's just a pity that Schweinsteiger failed to shoulder this burden, Bayern Munich also failed to solve the old problem of weak forwards, and there were many mistakes in the front, while Southampton seized two opportunities in a row in the 57th and 71st minutes respectively and scored on the counterattack.

The scorers were Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez.

By this point in the game, the suspense had been completely lost.

With a total score of 6-0, it would be strange if Bayern Munich could still turn the tables in the last 20 minutes!

This also made Bayern Munich's top brass feel very depressed.

"Can we recall Tony Cross?" Acting president of Bayern Munich, Herbert Heiner, asked.

"If I have an idea, I can arrange for someone to get in touch with Southampton!"

He is the CEO of Adidas and used to be a professional player who played in the lower leagues, but he has always been a fan of Bayern Munich and can be regarded as Adidas's representative of Bayern Munich management.

In these two legs, Tony Kroos's performance in the midfield was too eye-catching.

He was outstanding in the last game, but this one was in a stalemate, setting up Xavi Martinez to break the deadlock on the pitch with a pinpoint free-kick that set up Xavi Martinez to break the goal for Bayern Munich.

Not only that, he sits in the midfield, whether it is organization and combing, or passing and distributing the ball, he is very good, and even the defense has improved a lot compared to before.

Today's Tony Kroos is really both offensive and defensive, and he is quite good in both aspects.

On the other hand, in these two games, Bayern Munich's two backs, Schweinsteiger and Thiago, were completely compared to Toni Kroos, especially Schweinsteiger, who is completely unsuitable for this type of midfielder.

But the question is, how easy is it to bring in Tony Cross?

"When we sold Tony Kroos to Southampton, Yang Huan's offer was as high as 60 million euros, after several years of excellent performance, if we want to recall again, how high will we get?" Rummenigge asked reflexively, rather helplessly.

Selling Tony Cross back then, as far as this deal is concerned, is definitely a good deal and quite successful.

Selling a midfielder for 60 million euros is not a success?

But from the perspective of now, it's hard to say.

After all, Bayern Munich are in dire need of a midfielder like Toni Kroos.

"Besides, there's no way Southampton can sell Tony Cross!"

Hearing Rummenigge say this with such certainty, Karl Hopfner also asked strangely: "Why?" ”

"I received the news that Real Madrid have decided to bring in Modric, and I heard that the total transaction price will be more than 70 million euros!"

"Seventy million?" Karl Hopfner was almost stupefied.

Bringing in Modric for 70 million euros?

Did I hear me right?

"Now the transfer bubble in European football is too serious, the big teams are not bad for money, and the value of players has naturally skyrocketed, especially players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, which are even more scarce."

Rummenigge said with a sigh.

"But, in any case, we can't ruin our philosophy of running Bayern Munich because of transfers, we only bring in players who we can."

"What do you mean......" Hopfner asked.

"Harvey Martinez!" Rummenigge pointed to the Spanish centre-back on the pitch.

"Originally, my first choice was Varane, but Yang Huan's attitude was very resolute, impossible, so I retreated and wanted to bring in Xavi Martinez, he didn't refuse, it looks like there should be a little hope, but ......"

Speaking of which, Rummenigge turned his head and looked at Hopfner, "Karl, how much money can the team put into operation this summer?" ”

Karl Hopfner is the chancellor of the exchequer at Bayern Munich and has been at the helm of Bayern Munich's finances for decades.

After listening to Rummenigge's words, he thought about it for a while, "Although we introduced Lewandowski on a free transfer, the player's salary is a lot and the pressure is relatively high, and Guardiola proposed to bring in a goalkeeper, the first choice is Liverpool's Reina, who is also worth three million euros." ”

"According to preliminary estimates, we cannot invest more than 40 million euros in transfer operations in the summer!"

"Forty million euros?" Rummenigge's brow furrowed.

Can you buy Javi Martinez for these 40 million euros?

If Bayern Munich quoted such a price, I'm afraid Southampton would throw out a sentence on the spot, 40 million euros?

Can't even buy a leg from Harvey Martinez, roll the calf!

"Can't you do it more?" Rummenigge asked.

Hopfner thought for a moment and said, "Fifty million euros at most, no more, that's already the limit of the club." ”

Rummenigge is still a little disappointed, because this is still a certain distance from Southampton's psychological price.

The introduction of a strong centre-back has become a top priority for the team.

The problem of the forward line can be solved by Lewandowski, and the problem of the midfield can also be solved, but the problem of the back line is always difficult, because everyone knows that the most lacking thing in European football is the central defender.

Especially a high-level, commanding centre-back like Xavi Martinez!

What's more, the Spaniard is now only 25 years old and in his prime, and bringing him in, along with Jerome Boateng, could keep Bayern Munich's defence safe for years to come.

This kind of transfer operation is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

Hopfner saw Rummenigge's frowning look and was a little strange, "What? 50 million euros is not enough? ”

Rummenigge shook his head, "I called Ron Gurley and they offered a very high price, 70 million euros. ”

"Seventy million euros?" Hopfner was shocked.

The chancellor of the exchequer at Bayern Munich is even wondering if the world is too crazy?

A centre-back offers 70 million euros?

"The offer is a bit high, but you should know that the teams that are interested in Javi Martinez right now include Real Madrid and Barcelona in addition to us!"

At this moment, it dawned on Hopfner.

The team that the Western Super League has a fancy to is hyped by the media once, and the value soared by 10 million, and the team's quotation rose by another 10 million, nothing to say!

"Harvey Martinez has to be?" Hopfner was skeptical.

If successful, it could be Bayern Munich's most expensive player ever.

"I'm confident that the price should be negotiable, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Rummenigge looked at Summer, who was in charge of athletic affairs, "We may have to send some of the players away. ”

What this means is clear to all.

'Everybody knows that Southampton's favourite is young talent, so I'm thinking about adding the youngsters to the transfer to fill the gap.

After hearing this, Summerr was a little reluctant, but he could not refuse Rummenigge's request.

As the youth training of the giant team, it was originally for the first team.

This kind of service is not something to provide an endless supply of talent for the first team, don't be stupid, which giant is counting on this?

The real service is to add young players to the transfer negotiations in some transfers to increase the transfer bargaining chips.

For Bayern Munich, the entire Bundesliga is their academy, who can't they poach?

Therefore, they do not pay much attention to their own academy players, and basically take the form of loans, such as Lahm, Toni Kroos and others who have performed well on loan and returned to the team.

But there are also a large number of players who have chosen to live outside the country after a good performance, such as Borussia Dortmund's Hummels.

As for the likes of Schweinsteiger and Thomas Müller, who have always played for Bayern Munich, there are really few examples of promotion from the academy to the first team, and their situation is quite special.

Especially Thomas Müller.

No one would have thought that this guy would perform so well in the World Cup, would they?

Therefore, it is normal for Bayern Munich to use players as transfer heads.

It's just that I don't know who Southampton will look at?
