Chapter 453 The Surprising Tottenham Team
The Tottenham fans who were afraid of losing did not dare to go to the scene to watch the game, but this made the Southampton fans very happy.

These extra away tickets were naturally bought by Southampton fans.

This also led to more fans wearing Southampton uniforms in the stands of St. Mary's Stadium on the day of the game than before.

Although there are still many staunch Tottenham fans who came to the scene to support their team.But it is obviously at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers.

There is almost only one voice left in the entire St. Mary's Stadium, and that is the voice of the Southampton fans.

"Southampton, must win!"

"Welcome to St. Mary's, Tottenham. We have prepared the best meals for you to enjoy. And you only need to pay the minimum consumption."

"Our Southampton team is only 90 minutes away from the final!"

"..."

The slogans of Southampton fans are getting more and more arrogant now.

Hearing such slogans from the fans, Sun Yi smiled and nodded: "Such slogans are arrogant enough, I like them!"

"Here at St. Mary's Stadium, we just want to be arrogant. This is our territory. If we are not arrogant, what is the home field?"

"Guys, get on it! Go kick their asses!"

With a big wave of his hand, Sun Yi let the Southampton players onto the field.

Defeating the opponent to advance to the final is the basic purpose of the game.But Sun Yi's main purpose is to enjoy the game.

He has a complete lineup again, and he is confident that he can repair any opponent here at St. Mary's Stadium.

Facing the game with an enjoyment mentality will make him happier and more comfortable to win.

Just like that, the Southampton team, with extremely high morale and momentum, stepped onto the pitch, ready to fight hard.

The Tottenham team is much worse in momentum.In terms of morale, though, it's okay.At least, fighting spirit can be seen in the eyes of the players on the field.

"Ouch! Good training!"

Sun Yi is still full of admiration for Pochettino's ability to train Tottenham like this.

What Sun Yi admires the most is that Pochettino actually put Tottenham's absolute core Kane on the bench today.

"I'll go, Pochettino has courage today!"

In this regard, Sun Yi couldn't help giving Pochettino a thumbs up.

Pochettino really needs a lot of courage to do such an operation.

The Tottenham fans who saw the starting lineup immediately scolded Pochettino.

"What the hell is Pochettino doing? I didn't hear that Kane was injured! Why is Kane sitting on the bench?"

"Is Pochettino crazy or stupid? In such a critical game, he actually put the core of the team on the bench."

"Don't tell me he's doing this to win."

"It's over, this time it's really over. If I had known this was the case, I would be like everyone else, and I wouldn't come here to watch the game. Not to mention the waste of money, I would still be tortured."

"..."

But Sun Yi really admires Pochettino's approach.

I don't think Pochettino's approach will bring huge benefits to the Southampton team.On the contrary, Sun Yi believes that Pochettino's approach is correct.He would do the same if he were the manager of Tottenham.

That's not to say Kane's level is poor.His level is still very strong, saying that he is one of the top ten strikers in the Premier League, Sun Yi still recognizes it.

But the problem is that Tottenham's tactics with Kane as the core are very undesirable.

That kind of tactics is no problem facing ordinary teams.But once you encounter strong teams like Manchester City and Liverpool, it becomes the biggest shortcoming.

Strong teams have enough defenders to limit Kane, and then Tottenham's tactics with him will start to catch blind.

Last season, and the previous few matches this season, Tottenham were defeated by this tactic.

Today, Pochettino replaced Kane with Lucas and partnered with Sun Xingmin as a double striker, which made Sun Yi feel quite amazing.

In Sun Yi's view, such an approach will not weaken Tottenham's combat effectiveness.On the contrary, it can stimulate the combat effectiveness of other Tottenham players.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi couldn't help feeling a little more stressed.

Perhaps today's game will not be as easy as imagined before the game.

Soon, after the grand entrance ceremony, the game officially began.

"Beep!"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, the Southampton team rushed to the Tottenham team's position and launched an attack on them.

Taking advantage of the home court, the Southampton team does not need to test at all.And the offensive they played was also surging like a wave.

This made the Southampton fans very excited.

"Come on! Take them away in one wave!"

However, today's Tottenham team appears very calm.

Everyone knows that Southampton has a great advantage today, so they played very cautiously at the beginning of the game.Basically it's defensive.

Such a tactic, although Tottenham gave Southampton a lot of advantages in the scene, they stubbornly withstood Southampton's onslaught.

After gradually adapting to Southampton's offensive rhythm, Tottenham also began to launch an active counterattack.

Although the Tottenham team seems to be focusing on defensive counterattack today, once they attack, they are very determined.And it's mainly about quick assaults.

Especially the assault led by Sun Xingmin was really sharp.

Sun Xingmin's style is completely different from Kane.He has a lot of energy, especially on the wing.It is difficult to limit him with a single player.

Sun Yi sent in the main defenders like Van Dijk and Pavard today, but Sun Xingmin relied on his own skills and speed to stir up trouble on the side.Can often create a murderous intent after breaking through the full-back.

If it weren't for the fact that Southampton's defenders did a good job in assisting defense and overall defense, it might really be possible for Tottenham to get one in.

Obviously, Tottenham's attack today was better than last time at Wembley Stadium.

This came as a bit of a surprise to Tottenham fans.At the same time, it also made the Tottenham players more confident.

It makes them play more and more confidently and resolutely when they attack.

"Come on! Our offense is still very threatening."

"We have every chance of killing them!"

When the game came to No. 20 minutes, Southampton played a very threatening attack.However, today's Tottenham team has done really well.

A high-quality shot from Ronaldo was blocked.

Since the ball did not go out of bounds, it fell to the feet of Tottenham.They immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Tottenham's counterattack this time was very fast, just two or three passes allowed them to enter the 35-meter dangerous area.And it was also because Sun Xingmin hit the top of the arc of the penalty area with sudden attacks on the side.

Today's Sun Xingmin is really in a frighteningly hot state.Van Dijk went up to intercept him, but he couldn't stop him. He shook him, dodged the angle, and shot with his foot.

"boom!"

A powerful shot into the far corner of Southampton's goal.
