Chapter 302 The Best Christmas Gift
Southampton beat Tottenham away.

This is a situation that is beyond the expectations of many outsiders.

In the eyes of the outside world, it is very good for the Southampton team to get out of the way.Unexpectedly, they won, and winning made people lose their temper.

"It was a surprise for Southampton to win [-]-[-] away from Tottenham. However, for the Southampton fans, this is the best Christmas present."

"Congratulations to Southampton!"

And Sun Yi is also very satisfied and happy to win this game.

This Christmas gift is really a good start for the first Christmas schedule in his life.

Let him be full of confidence in the whole Christmas schedule.

Southampton's Christmas schedule will play three games in eight days.And Tottenham should be the strongest opponent they encountered in the Christmas schedule.

This is the most stressful game and the most difficult game has been won, and the next two games are naturally even more so.

Therefore, Sun Yi was really very happy.

Facing the victory in the Christmas game, it can be said that everyone in the Southampton team is very happy.

However, there is one exception.That is Maya Yoshida.

He, who failed to get the starting lineup, seemed very dissatisfied with the treatment he could only play for more than ten minutes in garbage time.

So much so that after he went back, he tweeted again.And it once again aroused Japanese fans' dissatisfaction with Sun Yi.

However, this time, Sun Yi didn't have time to pay attention to these things.He was even told that Asa Yoshida was complaining on Twitter again.He just waved his hand, not paying attention.

After only two days of rest, Sun Yi ushered in the second game of the Christmas schedule with Southampton again.

This is the No.20 round of the Premier League.The opponent is Watford.

Watford were the underdogs of Southampton in their last meeting.At present, they are only ranked in the middle and lower reaches.

Such an opponent does not need the Southampton team to go all out.

Therefore, Sun Yi waved his hand and let the Southampton team rest.

The players who started the game against Tottenham were all rested.The substitutes all started this game.

As a result, Yoshida Asaya got another chance to start.

"Yeah! Yoshida Asaya is starting again."

"It seems that the Chinese still dare not abandon him."

"Of course. Yoshida Maya's strength is there. No one dares to ignore him."

"As long as Yoshida Asaya is given enough playing time, I believe he will be able to show the level of an absolute main force."

"Behave well. Yoshida Maya-kun. Use your strength to beat those who look down on you."

Seeing that Yoshida Asaya started again, the Japanese fans immediately became happy.Began to expect him to have a brilliant performance.

After playing, Ma Yoshida really worked hard.I'm struggling to express myself.

It's a pity that things backfired, and his state has not yet returned to its peak.Although he had a great desire to express himself, he didn't achieve the effect he wanted.

It's not that bad, his performance should be considered qualified.

As far as Sun Yi is concerned, it is enough to send Yoshida Maya to go up, and he can perform well.He didn't ask for more.

Anyway, as long as the game can be won, he will be satisfied.

The lineup in which Sun Yi almost sent a substitute is still very strong for the Watford team, which has no bench depth.

In the end, Southampton beat Watford [-]-[-] away.

Winning the first two games of the Christmas schedule is a great event for Southampton to celebrate.

And the good news for Southampton doesn't stop there.

At the end of the same round, Manchester City finally stopped their winning streak.They were held to a [-]-[-] draw by Crystal Palace on the road.

Originally, Southampton was five points behind Manchester City, and Manchester City's tie was equivalent to losing two points.That allowed Southampton to close the gap to just three points.

At this moment, the Southampton team was completely cheered up.

Three points are just a matter of one game.And there is still a chance for the two teams to play against each other.

This does give Southampton great hope of competing for the title.

"Haha. I didn't expect the Manchester City team to capsize in the gutter."

"The Christmas schedule really lives up to its reputation."

"It seems that the Manchester City team can finally hold on. Our chance has come."

"Next, we must seize this good opportunity. Continue to win the next game."

Sun Yi was really happy and began to be full of confidence in the championship.

After another two days of rest, he took Southampton to St. Mary's Stadium.

Here they ushered in the last opponent of the Christmas schedule.Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace just drew with the mighty Manchester City.

This is also the time when morale is high.

The Crystal Palace team who came to St. Mary's Stadium is not only high in morale, but also very pragmatic.

In this game, they put out the bus as soon as they came up.

In the last game, the Crystal Palace team tied the Manchester City team, which has the most offensive firepower in the Premier League, by placing a bus.

However, the Crystal Palace team set up the bus, which was already expected by Sun Yi.After seeing their match against Manchester City, Sun Yi expected all this.

"Hehe. Put the bus. Put the bus in front of me. It seems that you have forgotten that I am called 'Mourinho's successor'."

"It's just a trick."

Facing the bus from the Crystal Palace team, Sun Yi smiled confidently.

As a coach who uses the bus from time to time, Sun Yi is naturally very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the bus.

And this, in Sun Yi's view, is actually not important.

Importantly, Southampton is not Manchester City.

The average height of the Manchester City team is the shortest in the Premier League. Facing the bus set up by the Crystal Palace team, which has the third highest average height in the Premier League, there is really nowhere to start.

Although the average height of the Southampton team is not as good as that of the Crystal Palace team.But they are ranked tenth in the height list, and they have better attacking ability than Manchester City.

Moreover, the Southampton team also has a tactical system of "bypassing the defense zone", which is a great weapon for breaking the bus.

Plus, Southampton have home advantage.

As a result, after the game was over, Southampton won [-]-[-].

The Crystal Palace team's plan to score a point fell through.

After Southampton won this game, it ended the entire Christmas schedule perfectly.

Three consecutive victories in the Christmas schedule, this should be the best New Year gift for Southampton fans.

You know, this is something Manchester City can't do.

So far, the first Christmas schedule of Sun Yi's coaching career has also come to a perfect conclusion.

The only pity is that Manchester City also successfully won the same round.Southampton was not given a chance to close the points again.

However, this is enough for Sun Yi and everyone in the Southampton team.

Everyone can happily go to the New Year for Westerners.
