Chapter 408 The English League Cup is Here

Before the season, Sun Yi felt very satisfied after buying Ronaldo and Paulinho.I feel that there will be few rivals in the Premier League.

And I also feel that even if you encounter strong opponents like Liverpool and Manchester City, you can still have some advantages.

But this draw made Sun Yi clearly realize that the Southampton team still has a lot to grow.

After reflection, Sun Yi decided to strengthen the training and growth of the Nanantun team's reserve players.

And he thought so, and he did so.

Next, the Southampton team will soon usher in the first English League Cup game of the new season.

As the Premier League champions last season, Southampton, unlike ordinary Premier League teams, needs to fight from the second round.They started in the third round.

Southampton's first opponent in the Carabao Cup is Everton.

Although Everton was defeated by Southampton not long ago.But their strength should not be underestimated.After all, he has been able to rank seventh or eighth in the Premier League for many years.

Facing such an opponent, one should not underestimate the enemy.

Just to train young players, Sun Yi decided to let the main players rest.

In this game, Sun Yi sent all the substitutes to play.

Except for the main rotation players such as Rebic and Noloza who are the starting offensive players, everyone else is a substitute player.

Sun Yi arranged for the midfielder Bednarek, who was produced by the Southampton team's own youth training, as well as Joe Gomez, Alexander-Arnold and Boufal.

Seeing Southampton's lineup, many Southampton fans can't help being a little disappointed, but also a little worried.

"In this game, almost all came off the bench. Isn't that a little too small for Everton?"

"Playing with all substitutes, the overall strength may not necessarily be stronger than Everton."

"I believe in this game, the Everton team will definitely go all out. Maybe our team may capsize this time. This is really worrying!"

"If we are upset, then our dream of achieving better results this season than last season will be ruined."

Compared to the worries of Southampton fans, Everton fans were a little overjoyed.

"Great. The Southampton team went full submersible. I don't know whether to say they are too confident or look down on us too much."

"You know, we can play at home in this game. We are playing with all the main players. They are clearly giving us a chance to upset us."

"Come on, Everton, let's be upset! Let's be the first dark horse to slay the dragon in this English League Cup!"

Sun Yi's playing arrangement really made many people think that he underestimated the Everton team.

Many football media people feel that if he does this, he may be in great danger of being upset.

Others thought that Sun Yi underestimated the Everton team, but others didn't know what he was thinking.At the same time, he didn't even know that in order to win this game, he had done a lot of pre-match preparations.

Sun Yi used far more than the usual number of battle simulations this time.It was after confirming that the Southampton team had a higher chance of winning that he dared to send such a starting lineup.

You know, the English League Cup is also very important to Sun Yi.Whether it's the League Cup or the FA Cup, to be honest, Sun Yi doesn't want to lose any of them.

In addition to conducting many battle simulations, Sun Yi put Ronaldo and Balotelli on the latent bench for the sake of conservatism.Once an accident occurs, he will send these two players with strong scoring ability to turn the tide.

In this way, under various interpretations, the game soon began.

After the opening, the Everton team showed great fighting spirit and desire to attack.

Taking advantage of the home court, they launched a fierce offensive against Southampton as soon as they came up.

That was quite a surprise.Since the beginning of this season, apart from Liverpool, no team has dared to take the initiative to launch a fierce attack on Southampton.

This made the Everton fans at home watching ecstatically.

"Look. Our Everton team, how aggressive we are. How aggressive we are!"

"That's it. Play our momentum. This is our territory, as long as we work hard, as long as we can seize the opportunity, we can definitely beat Southampton."

"Come on. Everton. Make Southampton, who underestimated us, regret what we did today."

With the support of the home fans, the Everton team is really in high spirits.

After all, the Southampton team is playing all off the bench, and its momentum is far as strong as the main lineup.Moreover, because they didn't expect Everton to be so fierce, it made them seem a little flustered when they were not on a firm footing.

Such a situation naturally makes the scene look a little inclined to Everton.

"The Southampton team is too careless!"

"Judging from the opening situation, the full-substitute Southampton team has no advantage over the all-out Everton team."

"On the contrary, the away game factor makes them even look like they are losing."

Everton had the upper hand in the opening game, which surprised many people.Even Sun Yi felt a little surprised.Everton had never been this aggressive in previous game simulations.

However, Sun Yi was not too worried.Because from his point of view, the strength on paper on the field alone is still superior to the Southampton team.

As long as the Southampton team can stand firm, after adapting to the situation of this game, the Southampton team still has an advantage.

"Defend first. Take it easy."

"Kick slowly, with our strength we can definitely win."

Sun Yi didn't just watch, but shouted to the players on the field from time to time to motivate them.

Sun Yi's record and prestige made the players on the field feel at ease after hearing his words.Moreover, Sun Yi did not force them to attack immediately, which gave them time to slowly adapt to the game.

After the mentality stabilized, the Southampton team, which was not in a hurry to attack, began to do their best to defend first.

This made Everton's offensive look fierce, but failed to break through Southampton's goal.

After the Southampton team adapted to their offensive rhythm, their offensive effectiveness dropped sharply.

After the Southampton team also brought out their offensive strength, the scene of Everton's dominance disappeared.

After the Southampton team fully revealed their true strength, the Everton team couldn't bear it anymore.After scoring a goal in each half, they completely lost their fighting spirit.

This allows Sun Yi not only to send Ronaldo and Balotelli to play, but also to send a few young players who are only [-] or [-] years old to play.

In the end, the Everton team failed to cheer up, allowing Southampton to win their first victory in the Carabao Cup with a two-goal advantage.

Winning the victory gave the substitute players enough opportunities to exercise, which made Sun Yi very satisfied.He started to think about it, and the Premier League will also look for opportunities to do the same later.
