extraordinary coach

Chapter 284

"There was no trough. It was a surprise. Southampton didn't go down after losing the top of the table. They won two consecutive victories."

"Maybe Southampton is not as strong as Manchester City. But these two victories prove that they have grown into a top Premier League team."

"I have to say that Sun's ability to coach the team is really strong."

Sun and Southampton have both received unanimous praise from the outside world after winning against a strong Leicester City team.

However, good reviews are good reviews.But no one thinks they can challenge Manchester City again.

Just as Southampton beat Leicester City at home, Manchester City beat cross-city rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.

This allowed Manchester City to maintain a five-point advantage over Southampton.

It is a pity that the points gap could not be narrowed.However, Manchester City's victory over Manchester United is actually good for Southampton.

Southampton took the opportunity to widen the points gap with Manchester United.

Although temporarily unable to challenge Manchester City, it has stabilized its No.2 position in the standings.

......

After just three days of rest, Sun Yi will lead the Southampton team to the next round.

"Another real test for Southampton."

"Although Southampton has won consecutive victories since losing to Manchester City. It's just that the opponent's strength is not too outstanding."

"And next, their opponent is the top four Arsenal team. This is a test!"

"Don't look at the overall performance of the Southampton team. But when they faced the BIG4 team, their record was very average."

"I won't talk about the loss to Manchester City. Their previous game against Manchester United at home was only a draw. Judging from these games, the strength of Southampton should only be the strength of the second group."

"Next, they will face Arsenal. I am afraid the result will not be ideal. There is a high probability that the result of the game will be a draw. Just like the game against Manchester United."

Against Arsenal.Judging from outside comments, the Southampton team is not too optimistic.

Draw at home.This result was not what Sun Yi wanted.

In his view, this is a loss of points.It is to lose hope of competing with Manchester City for the championship.

"Did you hear that? The outside world is saying that we can't do it again."

"Say there's nothing we can do against Manchester City. Say we're only worthy of a European qualification."

"Tell me, is this true?" During training, Sun Yi simply took the opportunity to motivate the players.

"no!"

"We can defeat anyone!"

"European qualification is not our goal. Our goal is the championship!"

The players answered with great enthusiasm, which made Sun Yi very happy. "That's right. Our goal is the championship. It can only be the championship!"

"Give me a good performance in the game in a few days. Let everyone know that in our territory, I have to lie down when the tiger comes. I have to lie down when the dragon comes."

"Arsenal is here, we're sending them to the fourth!"

"The boss said it well. Arsenal should get back on track. Keep the points and go back and fight for the fourth."

"Hehe. It's so pitiful to say the least. Wenger works so hard, but he can always only compete for the fourth."

"..."

Sun Yi's encouragement seems to be working well.At least, the Southampton team is full of the heart that must beat Arsenal.

The Arsenal team is equally high-spirited.

In the previous game, they won a hearty victory in the Europa League.

No, it is indeed a brutal massacre!

They beat their opponents 6-0 at home.

Such a super win.Let the morale of the Arsenal team rise to the limit.

"Southampton is very good? No! No!! In my opinion, they are not much better than the opponent we just defeated." Sanchez said confidently, shaking his fingers in an interview before the game.

In addition to Sanchez who is very confident, other people in the Arsenal team are also very confident.Like Ozil, Wilshere and others have previously expressed confidence in winning.

"A draw is our minimum requirement. What we want is a win."

"While Southampton have improved a lot this season. It's not different for us."

"Last season, we double-killed them. They had no power to fight back in front of us. Now that their strength has improved, it only increases the difficulty for us to win."

It seems that a 6-0 victory really made Arsenal's morale burst.

On the contrary, their head coach Wenger is more modest.

"The Southampton team this season has become very strong under Sun's training. It is no longer possible to look at them from the previous perspective. After all, the No.2 position in the standings is very clear."

"Southampton is as much a rival to us as their manager is Sun."

"However, our team is in a good state. The morale is also very high. We can definitely strive for a better result."

Judging from the above words and deeds of the Arsenal team, they seem not satisfied with the draw of the outside evaluation.

In this regard, Sun Yi did not say anything.Just in an interview before the game, he expressed it very calmly.

"The Southampton fans are used to seeing wins. So, we will try to satisfy them."

In Sun Yi's plain words, there is a faint courage to win.It's just expressed more implicitly.

The Southampton players are not as reserved as Sun Yi.

"It's time to settle accounts for last season. It's time to get back what was lost," Prowse said.

And some people are even more ruthless.

"Our goal is only to win the championship! The team that competes for the top four should obediently fight for the top four!"

Murder and kill!
Fight for four!This is an eternal pain in the heart of an Arsenal man.

I don't know when it started, but the Arsenal team has been working hard for the fourth every season.

This has become the most uncomfortable thing for Arsenal fans.Being mentioned this is like rubbing salt in the wound.

This immediately angered them.

"SHIT! We Arsenal still have the Europa League to play. What about your Southampton team? When was the last time you played in Europe? What qualifications do you have to say that?"

"Double kills last season, this time it happens to be triple kills. There will be four kills later!"

"Once we see you, we beat you once and shame you once. Whether it's home or away."

"People from the Southampton team, just wash your ass and wait for us to kick you!"

"..."

It was with such anger that on the match day, Arsenal fans actually packed the entire stands of the visiting team fans.

And also pulled a banner: We are here, have you washed your butt?
They even shouted in unison in the stands: "We are here, we are here to conquer you!"

Shouting such a slogan in an away game is indeed arrogant.

Although Southampton did lose to Arsenal at home last season, the arrival of Sun Yi this season has given Saints fans great confidence.

So they quickly countered: "This is St. Mary's Stadium. Here, all demons and ghosts will be purified."

"Welcome, Arsenal, always fighting for the top four. We'll help you establish that belief."

"..."

It can be said that before the game even started, the fans of both sides were having sex in the stands.

The slogan of not giving in to each other caused fans from both sides to scold each other.

If it weren't for the on-site security to dispatch in time.Maybe the game has not yet started, and there will be a gang fight among the fans first.

The timely suppression by security prevented the fan battle from happening.But the fans of both sides continued to compete on the slogan.

After the two teams began to enter the field, the fans of both sides began to cheer desperately.

"Arsenal must win!"

"Southampton, must win!"

Winning slogans began to resound throughout St. Mary's Stadium.

After all, Southampton has the advantage of home court and has more fans than Arsenal.This made their momentum in shouting slogans still overwhelm the Gunners fans.

After following the players into the arena, Sun Yi felt his blood was boiling when he heard the fanatic cheers from the fans.

The atmosphere at home made him very excited.

Even Sun Yi, the head coach, is like this, let alone the players.

Sun Yi can see something called excitement on the faces of every player of his own.

Sun Yi was very satisfied with the situation.That's the benefit of being at home.Can make their own players excited.

As for the Arsenal team, they didn't seem to be affected by the atmosphere of the away game, and each of them also seemed to be full of spirits and confidence.

"In the last game, we scored six goals against the opponent. In this game, we don't need more, just three."

Under such a domineering slogan, the Arsenal team is ready to go to war.

"We don't need to say more, there is only one, and that is must win! Must win! Must win!!"

Even after shouting 'must win' three times, the Southampton team is also ready for the start of the game.

Seeing that the players on both sides are in formation and ready to start.

Sun Yi sat on the bench with an extremely calm expression.

this game.We will win!
Sun Yi is still very confident about this game.At home, he has great confidence that he can win Arsenal.

In terms of strength, the Arsenal team is still very good.

However, according to Sun Yi's systematic observation, the strength of Arsenal's starting lineup is actually not much better than that of Southampton.

The overall strength of the Arsenal team has reached the level of BIG4.Among them are A+ players such as Ozil and Lacazette.

However, according to what Sun Yi learned, the Arsenal team did not allow these strengths to truly be brought into play.

This makes the Arsenal team seem to be able to attack on the surface, but the actual threat is not as great as imagined.

Moreover, in Sun Yi's view, Arsenal's defense is its biggest weakness.

As for Southampton, there are no obvious weaknesses.Although the offense is relatively mediocre.But compared to Arsenal's weak defense, it's still much better.

The strongest thing about Arsenal is their attack.The best thing about Southampton is their defense.

In Sun Yi's view, Southampton's defense can definitely withstand Arsenal's offense.

Whether Arsenal can withstand Southampton's offense is hard to say.

Sun Yi firmly believes that as long as they play normally, it is no problem for Southampton to win Arsenal at home.

Sun Yi is so confident, and I don't know if it makes the system feel a little bit embarrassed.

Even when the whistle just blew in the game, he was given a mission.

"Confidence is such a dick"

It's good that the host is so confident.

It's just that you haven't won more than three goals, how can you be worthy of this confidence?

In order to reflect the strength of the main team, please let the team win more than three goals.

If the task is successful, a player's technical ability can be rewarded.

If the task fails, just randomly remove an ability.

Nima, I almost forgot that there is such a cheating system.

The sudden mission this time must have malicious intentions.

However, come to the mission, come to the mission.

Quan is here to give benefits.

With the task in hand, Sun Yi had to pay attention to more issues.

Originally, although Sun Yi had confidence in the game, he was still very pragmatic.Just set the goal at a small victory.

Now, Sun Yi has to change his target.

However, in order not to disrupt the rhythm of the teammates on the field.Sun Yi did not express anything to the players for the time being.

The game on the field has already begun. With the home court advantage, Southampton really played very aggressively.

With the support of the last 6:0 battle, Arsenal also played very actively and proactively.

It doesn't look like most away games.

However, this is St. Mary's Stadium after all, the home court of Southampton.

Although the Arsenal team intends to launch offensive football, it even focuses on Pawar's point of attack.

It's just that their offense is nothing to the Southampton team, whose overall defense is very strong.Although it is indeed a threat, it is still far from a goal.

"Arsenal's offense is nothing more than that? How did they win the opponent by six goals in the last game?"

"Is the opponent too weak?"

Seeing that there wasn't much danger at the back, it allowed Southampton's central midfielders to attack to their heart's content.

At the beginning, Arsenal's defense can also deal with Southampton's strikers.

But after the Southampton team became familiar with Arsenal's defensive characteristics, their offense became more and more efficient and more threatening.

After seeing Southampton's offensive momentum, Wenger, who realized the problem, was ready to let Arsenal adjust their tactics.

It's a pity Wenger was a step too late.Just when he was about to shout to the players.Southampton managed to play a wave of quick wide movement and inverted triangle passes.

Finally, Prowse, who was plugged in from the back row, blasted away Arsenal's goal with a long shot.

The appearance of this goal made Arsenal fall behind in less than 10 minutes of the game.

This makes Wenger's adjustment meaningless.

Originally, Wenger was going to make Arsenal more cautious.And make an appropriate retreat.

But now the situation has changed, Wenger's words can only become: "Attack. Strengthen attack!"
