Extraordinary coach

Chapter 166: Another opponent dismissed

"Today, the goddess of luck abandoned us."

"In fact, we played well at the beginning. The first two goals were largely due to luck. Our players have done what they should do."

"However, it is a pity. This is football. One or two bad lucks bring serious consequences."

"This is reality, and we have to accept such a result. However, the game between us is not over yet. There is still a second round, and we still have a chance."

After the game, Ivic tried his best to defend himself and the team at the press conference. This is normal and has nothing to do with Sun Yi.

However, when the media said that he lost to Sun Yi, a kid, Ivic still did not change his attitude before the game.

"I lost to luck, not to him."

"He is still a kid in my eyes. Although he won the game, his tactics were not outstanding, and even very bad. Especially the adjustments after 70 minutes were really bad. Normal coaches would not make such mistakes."

"But you and your team lost."

"I lost to luck. If it weren't for the two lucky goals in the first half, the result of the game would definitely be different."

"But the reality is that you lost three goals. Basically, it can be said that it is a high probability event for you to be eliminated."

"This is only the first round. We still have the second round. As long as we don't give up, we have a chance. Such examples are everywhere in football."

It seems that Ivic was very dissatisfied with the loss of this game.

The media told Sun Yi, who came to attend the press conference later, what Ivic was dissatisfied with.

Sun Yi did not comment on this. He had already been high-profile, and now he decided to be low-key. So he said that Thessaloniki was very strong, and the Nice team should not be taken lightly in the second round.

Sun Yi did not confront Ivic, which disappointed the media. However, they also gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. They felt that although Sun Yi was said to be Mourinho's successor, he did not have any of Mourinho's arrogance. This made people feel very good.

Sun Yi wanted to be low-key, but it did not mean that the press conference would pass so easily.

"Sun, you made a gesture twice before and after the game. Doesn't it mean to score three goals or to play 3-0?"

"Obviously, this is my OK gesture. Before the game, I made this gesture just to tell our fans that our team is in good shape today and don't worry about it."

"At the end of the game, I did this because I felt that the result was OK. I was also in a good mood."

Sun Yi's answer was flawless. He did not give others a chance to seize the opportunity to stir up a war of words between him and the Thessaloniki team.

Before the game, everyone was tit-for-tat. After the game, the game was a thing of the past, and there was no need to make enemies again. Sun Yi has had enough troubles during this period. He didn't want to get into any more trouble.

Seeing that Sun Yi was unwilling to start a fight, the media had to give up. After that, they began to talk about the performance of the players.

When talking about Balotelli, Sun Yi was very happy. He directly held Balotelli, who was present next to him, and kissed his big head.

"This is a head worth a thousand gold. I love this big head. It is simply a blockbuster bomb of the Super Mario bomber. With it, I believe that any opponent's gate will not escape its bombing."

"Boss, be careful, you are kissing a bomb." Balotelli also said humorously.

"Haha~~"

The scene of Sun Yi kissing Balotelli's head made the media smile knowingly.

When the media does not make trouble, the interview is still very pleasant. When they do not make trouble, Sun Yi is very excited and talks a lot with a smile on his face throughout the whole process. In the end, this press conference ended with laughter.

So far, Sun Yi and the Nice team's Greek trip has come to a successful end.

The next day, Sun Yi took the Nice team back to France.

But before he boarded the plane, he heard a piece of news that he didn't know how to comment on.

The head coach of the Thessaloniki team, Ivic, was fired.

He was the second coach to be fired after playing against Sun Yi.

Dio looked at Sun Yi with a strange expression after hearing the news.

"Sun, I have to say. You are a card-dispatching machine. Another coach was fired by you."

"Old Dio. This can't be blamed on me. No coach will be fired because of a game. It must be because of long-term unsatisfactory coaching."

Sun Yi was naturally unwilling to take the blame. If he took the blame, he might become the enemy of all coaches in the future. Everyone can blame him.

Sun Yi didn't want to take the blame. But the media seemed to be ready to put the blame on him like Dio.

"This is the second one. This is the second head coach who was fired because of Sun."

"In his first season as a coach, two opponents have been fired. Sun is simply the natural enemy of other head coaches. Who will be the next victim?"

"Coaches who will play against Sun in the future, you should be careful. The next person to be fired may be you."

These words from the media made Sun Yi speechless. Unfortunately, he could not do anything, and could only hope that other head coaches would not take it seriously. Otherwise, he would have enemies everywhere in the future.

However, fortunately, it seems that no one believes these words for the time being.

After returning from Greece, Sun Yi soon ushered in the French Ligue 1 game.

This complete victory in the Europa League actually brought great benefits to the Nice team.

The morale of the team, which had dropped sharply due to various events before, was completely restored after this game.

The players began to believe that the Nice team was still the Nice team in the first half of the schedule. They really have the strength to compete for the championship.

The recovery of morale and confidence also made the Nice team perform better and better. After returning from Greece, they played two games in a row. The result was very satisfactory.

First, in the 26th round of Ligue 1, Sun Yi led the Nice team to play away against Rennes.

In this game, Balotelli's valuable head once again made a contribution. His header goal helped Nice team lead Rennes in the first half. In the second half, Salah scored another goal to completely lock in the victory.

Then came the 27th round of Ligue 1. This time it was also an away game. Nice team played against Lorient team.

It was very difficult for Nice team to win this game. Lorient team parked the bus throughout the game, which gave Nice team a headache. It was nearly 80 minutes before Balotelli's head knocked the door open. After that, Lorient, who had to attack, was defeated by Salah's long-range shot from inside, and finally won the game.

In these two games, not only did Balotelli live up to his nickname of Super Mario Bomber, but Nice also firmly occupied the first place in Ligue 1.

Such a strong performance of Nice has caused headaches for all the championship competitors.

Especially Paris Saint-Germain, although they have won all the way after buying Neymar and Mbappe, they have not been able to surpass Nice in points. This makes their chairman Al-Khelaifi very depressed.
