Chapter 417 Another Tough Battle

Southampton successfully won Newcastle United, which can not help but disappoint the opponents who are waiting for them to make mistakes.

"It's really surprising."

"Unexpectedly, after experiencing such an incident, the Southampton team is still in the same state. It has not been affected at all."

"Perhaps, I can only say that the current Southampton team is a truly strong team. It is so strong that such things can't affect them."

Competitors were disappointed, Sun Yi was naturally very happy.He is also delighted that Southampton can do this.

However, after he was overjoyed, he felt a little regretful.

In the same round of the Premier League game, there was a focus battle.

Tottenham VS Manchester City.

The Tottenham team is very strong and has the advantage of playing at home.But even so, they still failed to stop Manchester City.

Three points were taken away from Wembley Stadium by Manchester City.

Tottenham failed to hold Manchester City, leaving Southampton still at No.2 in the standings due to goal difference.

This really disappointed Sun Yi.At the same time, he also felt more pressure from Manchester City.

Because Delaunay has recovered from his injury, although he only came off the bench in this game, it is definitely not good news for Southampton.

However, in any case, the key to what you want to get depends on yourself.

Sun Yi quickly cleared up his emotions.

The Southampton team ushered in a tough game a few days later.

League Cup round of sixteen.

Southampton travel to the King Power Stadium to be tested by Leicester City.

Although Leicester City lost their core player Mahrez this season, their strength is still good.

For the Leicester City team, the Premier League has no hope.They didn't even have a chance for fourth place.Therefore, this English League Cup has become their key project.

For this game, it is absolutely predictable that the Leicester City team will definitely go all out to fight to the death.

But the biggest problem is that the Southampton team can't go all out.

Because after playing the Carabao Cup with Leicester City, they will usher in the Premier League's biggest opponent, Manchester City, in just three days.

And in addition, the schedule has been extremely intensive recently, either double matches a week or three matches with one strike.

In such a situation, the Southampton team really cannot do their best.

This is an unavoidable difficulty in multi-line operations.

Under normal circumstances, many teams will choose to give up certain games and focus on more critical games.

But Sun Yi didn't want to give up in any game.He wants to create better results.

Naturally, he wasn't going to give up on the game against Leicester City.

Under the current circumstances of various objective and difficult conditions, it is very difficult for Sun Yi to make any choice.

Arrived, on the day of the game, Leicester City did their best.It is obvious that he wants to take over the right to advance from the Southampton team.

Leicester City fans are also full of confidence.

"Come on, Leicester City. Get rid of Southampton."

"Affected by multi-line battles and the subsequent battle with Manchester City, Southampton will definitely not be able to play with all their strength. This is our chance."

"We must seize the opportunity, we want to advance!"

The Leicester City team is very confident, and the team is full of desire to advance to the quarter-finals.This will make them more powerful.

However, in the face of this situation, Sun Yi did not let the Southampton team play with all their might.

Not only did Ronaldo and Kaka be pushed on the bench, but even Van Dijk did not start the game.

It was Balotelli who was entrusted with an important task by Sun Yi in this game.

In the three areas of the front, middle and back courts, Sun Yi put away the absolute core players.This allowed the Southampton team to play this time, it can only be said that they used half of their strength.

However, in real comparison, even if the absolute main force of the Southampton team did not play, they are still not inferior to the full main force of the Leicester City team in terms of strength.

But Leicester City is playing at home after all, and many people still feel that Southampton may not be able to please with such a lineup.There is even a great chance of being eliminated.

"Looking at Southampton's starting lineup, what are we afraid of?"

"Without Ronaldo, without Kaka, without Van Dijk, why would they want to beat us here at the King Power Stadium."

"Southampton is nothing without these guys. Here at the King Power Stadium, we have the advantage. We will win for sure."

After Southampton's starting lineup came out, Leicester City fans were even more delighted.And their players on the court also feel more confident and sure.

So, after the start of the game, the Leicester City team immediately called for a fierce attack on the Southampton team.I want to take advantage of the opportunity of the Southampton team's unstable foothold to defeat them in one fell swoop.

However, this approach of the Leicester City team has long been expected by Sun Yi.

Therefore, what Sun Yi arranged for the Southampton team this time is a safe tactic of defensive counterattack.

It was under this tactic that the Southampton team, which focused on defense, successfully withstood the onslaught of the Leicester City team as soon as they came up.

Withstood the home team's onslaught, and after playing for more than ten minutes, the Southampton team completely adapted.And also began to launch its own counterattack.

As Southampton's offensive started, Leicester City soon discovered that Southampton's offensive was also very fierce.It even far surpassed their own previous offensive.

The Leicester City team did not expect that the Southampton team, which was staying strong for the next game, was still so strong.Unprepared, they turned out to be somewhat unable to withstand Southampton's onslaught.

Just after 10 minutes of the game, Southampton scored a goal by counterattacking.

Southampton took the lead.

And the Leicester City team, which fell behind, could only attack Southampton with all their might.

It's just that the Southampton team was too calm.Did a good job defensively.It quickly withstood the fierce offensive of the Leicester City team.Then the attack launched was still fierce.

Leicester City worked really hard, but after the first half they didn't score.

In the second half, Leicester City could only attack more desperately.

Sun Yi continued the tactics of the first half in the second half.And such a tactic also made the Leicester City team particularly depressed.

Although the Leicester City team tried their best to attack with the support of the home fans, they still couldn't break through the gate of Southampton.

On the contrary, after playing 10 minutes in the second half, Balotelli scored a world wave by the Southampton team.

This made the score two to zero.

With such a score, it can be said that Southampton's promotion is stable.

However, what surprised Sun Yi was that the Leicester City team did not surrender.But after mobilizing troops and remaining generals, they launched an even crazier counterattack.

His desperate energy, even Sun Yi not only looked sideways at him.

However, the current Southampton team is different.Not only do they have strong strength, but they also have the heart of a king who is not afraid of any challenge.Even with half of the main force playing, they still played calmly and threateningly.

Even after Sun Yi used up all three substitutions, the Leicester City team still failed to counterattack successfully.

In the end, the game ended with Southampton advancing to the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.
