Extraordinary coach

"Cold-blooded guy. Sun is a cold-blooded person."

"Football matters should be left to football, and political or ethnic factors should not be brought in."

"Sun's behavior is really disappointing. Yoshida Maya has been a veteran of Southampton for several generations. It is really cold-blooded to be kicked out like this."

What Sun Yi said later was useless. Driven by the Japanese media, many British media also began to be concerned about Yoshida Maya's experience.

Many Southampton players also said so.

This made Sun Yi feel a lot of pressure.

In fact, Sun Yi didn't have to let Yoshida Maya go. As long as Yoshida Maya was willing to accept the requirement of becoming a rotation player, Sun Yi was willing to let him stay.

In order to appease the opinions of some Southampton fans, Sun Yi decided to give Yoshida Maya another chance.

Sun Yi found Yoshida Maya and clearly gave two choices.

Accept the rotation and stay. Or leave.

Unfortunately, Yoshida Maya refused.

"As a Japanese with a samurai spirit, I will not accept any humiliating compromise."

"If that's the case, then go!"

Since Maya Yoshida was unwilling to accept reality, Sun Yi had no choice but to let him go.

Going to Riyadh Crescent was not something Maya Yoshida was willing to accept. Therefore, he was unwilling to sign.

After all, Maya Yoshida has long been the main central defender of Southampton, and there are still many teams that want him in the transfer market.

Sun Yi rejected all the offers that did not meet Maya Yoshida's value. As long as the offer met the standard, Sun Yi nodded.

Without any additional conditions from Sun Yi, Maya Yoshida finally transferred to Bristol City in the English Championship for 7 million pounds.

"Premier League, I will come back."

"Chinese, you will definitely regret letting me leave in the future."

With reluctance and dissatisfaction, Maya Yoshida left Southampton.

There are still many Southampton fans who are reluctant to see Maya Yoshida leave. At the same time, they were also worried about Southampton's future defense.

Sun Yi would not have any worries about this. After Maya Yoshida left, he still had people to take over.

At most, young players such as Joe Gomez and Arnold would take on the responsibility of the front point.

Southampton never lacked defenders.

After sending away the troublesome Maya Yoshida, Sun Yi could finally invest in recruiting players.

With the transfer fee of Maya Yoshida's 7 million, Sun Yi's transfer budget was increased to 30 million. Now, he has more room for operation.

Sun Yi began to let the transfer department list the candidates according to his own requirements. He was going to go to investigate in person before deciding who to buy.

After Sun Yi determined a candidate, he was about to go to investigate, but he heard a piece of news.

His former subordinate Adriano was put on the transfer list by the Nice team.

By the way, Adriano was in a state of decline after Sun Yi left the Nice team. It is indeed difficult for him to gain a foothold in Ligue 1 with his own strength.

Without Sun Yi, Adriano basically had no chance to burst into his peak state. This made him quickly become a marginal figure in the Nice team.

It was only half a season, and he was put on the cleanup list by Vieira, who took over the position of head coach of the Nice team.

Hearing that Adriano was in trouble. Sun Yi hesitated for a moment and called him.

"Adriano, are you willing to come to the UK?"

"Of course. Of course I am willing."

Adriano naturally nodded at the first time.

He was having a headache about his future. Half a season of sinking has made him no one cares about him.

It was not easy to return to the court and let his family live a good life again. Adriano really didn't want to retire.

Returning to Sun Yi's team is what Adriano dreams of.

Players of Adriano's age are basically not wanted by anyone, so Sun Yi bought him with only a symbolic transfer fee.

However, Sun Yi's transfer of Adriano was not recognized by some people.

"I really don't understand why Sun bought Adriano?"

"The current Adriano is no longer the Adriano of a year ago. In the past half season, Adriano's performance can only be described as horrible."

"And Adriano has not played for several months. What's the point of buying such a player who should have retired?"

"Although it didn't cost much money, it wasted a player quota. There is no point in buying him at all."

"Instead of this, it's better to give the quota to a young player in the echelon."

"Let's put it here now. Adriano can't get up again. At most, he will announce his retirement by the end of the season."

Judging from the situation, this is more than just disagreement. It should be said that many people are not optimistic.

For Sun Yi's incomprehensible transfer, everyone can only regard it as him wanting to add a direct player to the Southampton team.

After all, Adriano was no longer a star player, and the news about his transfer soon passed.

After arranging Adriano's place in Southampton, Sun Yi was ready to set off again to carry out his recruitment plan.

But Sun Yi failed to set off again because he received a call before leaving.

A call from Balotelli.

"Boss, I am not happy here in Nice. Adriano has returned to your team, and I hope to play under you again."

Balotelli's call surprised Sun Yi.

After all, Balotelli is in his prime, and he is not a player like Adriano who needs special means to play a role.

No matter what Balotelli is like, he still has a place in Nice.

In fact, Balotelli does have a place in Nice, and he is still a main player.

It's just that Balotelli feels very bad.

After Sun Yi left, Nice's performance plummeted.

Not only was it eliminated from the Champions League early, but it also lost the qualification to compete for the championship in the French Ligue 1 early. At present, Nice can only struggle for a place in the Europa League.

This is really unacceptable for Balotelli, who has already tasted four championships.

What makes Balotelli even more unbearable is that he and the new head coach Vieira are not getting along well.

All these factors combined made Balotelli decide to join Sun Yi after seeing Adriano coming to Southampton.

Sun Yi nodded in agreement after a brief thought.

He was very welcome to Balotelli's arrival.

His original plan was to find another siege gun for Southampton.

Although Rebic is very good, he is a little weak in finishing ability.

Balotelli's characteristics are just right.
