Chapter 227 Southampton's Current Strength
Officially took over the Southampton team.

On the first day, Sun Yi did not make any arrangements, but asked them to conduct daily training under the leadership of the original coaching staff.

Sun Yi only had a rough understanding of the situation of the Southampton team before, and the specific situation still needs to be further understood by him.

On this first day, Sun Yi was basically watching the players from the sidelines while checking their information.

After a day of careful observation, Sun Yi basically had a general understanding of the situation of the Southampton team.

In general, Sun Yi is quite satisfied with Southampton's lineup.

This is a team with reasonable collocation and great potential.

In the Southampton team, the proportion of old, middle-aged and young players is very good.

There are both veterans and Mesozoic players in the team.But what makes Sun Yi most satisfied are the young players of the Southampton team.

Southampton has a large number of young players with good strength and high potential.

One of the most representative is Ward Prowse.This young man born in 94, according to Sun Yi's observation, has reached the A- level in comprehensive ability, and has the potential of A+ level.

Such a young man, as long as he is entrusted with trust, I believe he will soon become the backbone of the team.

And Ward Prowse came from the youth training camp of the Southampton team.Very popular with fans.Such a young player is worth cultivating.

Without Ward Prowse knowing, he has become one of the cornerstones of the team in Sun Yi's heart.

And Ward Prowse also gave Sun Yi enough confidence in Southampton's youth training system.He planned to wait for the first-line affairs to be dealt with, and then find time to visit the youth training echelon.Let's see if we can mention a few children with potential to be trained.

Ward Prowse can be regarded as a player who impressed Sun Yi more.

Except for a few bright spots, Sun Yi found that the Southampton team had a lot of problems on the front line.

The strength of the three current main forwards is relatively disappointing.

The number one striker is Gabbiadini from Italy.The strength of the center is only A-level strength.There is no comparison with Balotelli, who is also an Italian.

And depending on the situation, the center's strength is almost at its peak.Talent potential is not higher.

It is obviously difficult for such a striker to satisfy Sun Yi.What made Sun Yi speechless was that this old man had not been here for long.There is no way to sell him.

Another striker named Charlie. Austin.He is a high center forward, but also only has the strength of A-level.The older striker has no potential at all.

The third is also a center named Sean Lang.The strength is also A-level.

Apart from these three Southampton have no better strikers.There are younger ones, but they are not yet ready for reuse.

A striker like Southampton really disappoints Sun Yi.There is no way to compare with the Nice team.Even without Salah now, Nice's striker strength still has to overwhelm Southampton.

In terms of midfield, Southampton's strength is pretty good.In addition to Ward Prowse, there are several capable players who can be used.

For example, Raymond, who was also born in 94, is a player with a beard. Although his strength is also only A-, he is a little better than Prowse.And the talent potential is also A-level.Looking at the situation, it seems that breaking through to A-level is not too far away.

Southampton's playmaker is Dusan Tadic from Serbia.Although this player is only at the A-level, he is at the peak of his career.It still works.

In addition, there is still a Bufal who is said to be the main player of last season.It even has A-level strength.

The main midfielders of the Southampton team are basically at the A-level.Compared with the Nice team, this strength is not inferior.

On the contrary, Southampton's defense is very satisfactory to Sun Yi.

Just talking about the goalkeeper, the main goalkeeper Fraser Foster actually has an A-level comprehensive strength.

The fact that the goalkeeper has such a situation really gave Sun Yi a big surprise.This is much better than the goalkeeper of the Nice team, whose highest level is only B.

The back line also surprised Sun Yi constantly.

Among the main defenders, there are many above the A-level.

For example, full-backs Cedric and Bertrand turned out to be powerful defenders with comprehensive abilities reaching A-level.

And this is not the strongest.The strongest is a central defender named Van Dijk, whose overall ability has reached the level of A+.What surprised Sun Yi even more was that Van Dijk hadn't reached his upper limit yet.Possesses S-level talent potential.

The talent potential of the S-level, although it cannot be compared with the S-level, is still very amazing.This is also rare.

In addition to these three relatively powerful players, there is also a young guard named Jack Stephens who Sun Yi looks forward to very much.

Although this Stephens currently only has the strength of B+ level, he also has the talent potential of A level.And this player who was also born in 94 also came from the youth training system of the Southampton team.

In addition to these defenders who caught Sun Yi's eyes, there was also a defender who surprised Sun Yi in the team.

It wasn't the defender's strength or potential that surprised Sun Yi, but the defender's identity, which turned out to be from Japan.His name is Maya Yoshida.

Sun Yi was really surprised to see East Asian faces in his team.

And Yoshida Maya's strength also surprised Sun Yi, and he also has A-level strength.This strength is not outstanding in Europe, but it is not easy for an East Asian player to have this strength.

This at least shows that as long as the youth training is done properly, East Asians can reach the level of Europeans and Americans.The Japanese can produce such players. China, as long as we really do a good job in youth training, we will definitely be able to produce more good players who can reach this level in the future.Even stronger and better players.

But thinking of this, Sun Yi felt a little uncomfortable.Judging from the current situation of Chinese football, he will probably only be envious of Japanese football for a long time.

However, Sun Yi just sighed and put away this emotion.Although Yoshida Ma is also Japanese, Sun Yi will not treat them differently.

Looking at the entire Southampton team.Sun Yi discovered that the Southampton team and the Nice team are basically the opposite.

The Nice team is strong in offense and weak in defense, while the Southampton team is strong in defense and weak in offense.

As far as Southampton's defense is concerned, Sun Yi believes that it is very enviable in the Premier League.With such a strong defense line, I can't say if I win the game, at least the defense will be very solid.

Regarding the situation of the Southampton team, Sun Yi knew that his next main job was to sign up the front line.
