Extraordinary coach

Regret?

That doesn't exist.

After Balotelli officially joined, Sun Yi held a fan meeting for him at St. Mary's Stadium.

He just wanted to tell everyone that he didn't buy Balotelli for fun, but to reuse him.

Sun Yi's attitude naturally made Balotelli very happy. He vowed that he would never let Sun Yi down.

"40 million, this is not the end of my value, I can play a higher value. I won't let Southampton fans regret buying me."

In order to express his determination, Balotelli left the above sentence on his Twitter.

"Come on! I believe in you. 40 million is just a start, you can do more, even 80 million!"

After knowing this, Sun Yi expressed his support and encouragement to Balotelli.

But his support scared Balotelli.

"What? Are you scared? Or don't believe in yourself?"

"No. I believe I can do it. I will become a real Super Mario!"

Balotelli himself didn't dare to think about playing for 80 million pounds. However, when Sun Yi said this, he felt that he could really do it.

Because Sun Yi is a person who never brags. If he says something, he will definitely do it.

Balotelli believes in Sun Yi's judgment.

However, Sun Yi's encouragement to Balotelli on Twitter attracted ridicule.

"80 million? Is Sun dreaming?"

"How can Balotelli play for 80 million? Just based on Sun's words?"

"You know, when Balotelli was most optimistic, he never played for more than 40 million."

"80 million, this is a big joke!"

"Maybe Balotelli is a treasure in Sun's eyes, but it may not be the case in the eyes of others. It should be said that the fact is that he was once a discarded thing that no one wanted in the Premier League."

"Although I admire Sun's vision, this time, I have to say that you are wrong."

These ridicules from the outside world are really hurtful. And in the eyes of many people, this is the most likely and should be the case.

After Sun Yi knew this, he said on his Twitter: "In my eyes, Balotelli is worth 80 million."

"My vision has never been wrong. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

"After a season, everyone will come back to see if I'm talking nonsense."

Sun Yi's clear-cut statement was quite surprising. Everyone thought that what he said before was just encouragement to Balotelli.

I didn't expect Sun Yi to be so sure.

His words were almost equivalent to a bet with someone.

And the bet was Sun Yi's vision and reputation.

But in the eyes of others, Sun Yi would lose 90% of this bet.

One game turned a person worth only more than 20 million into 80 million?

Do you think you found Messi or Ronaldo?

If it is a young potential player, maybe there is still this possibility.

Wait for Balotelli?

Forget it. The final conclusion could have been made long ago.

Balotelli was very moved by what Sun Yi said.

Sun Yi actually risked his reputation to support him, which really touched him. He decided that he would try his best to meet Sun Yi's expectations even if it cost him his life.

This made Balotelli very active since he started training with the Southampton team. He arrived early and left late, and trained like crazy.

Such a Balotelli completely overturned everyone's impression of the "naughty" Mario.

And Balotelli's positive attitude is also a spur to other people in the Southampton team.

Look, even Balotelli, who is considered to be very undisciplined by the world, has worked so hard. Do other people have any reason not to work hard?

And the one who was most affected by this was Rebic.

Rebic and Balotelli are both center forwards, and the two are direct competitors. Naturally, he has to show enough attitude.

However, Rebic is quite confident in himself.

He believes that with his current higher value and younger age, he can definitely compete with Balotelli.

In general, Balotelli's joining is a great help to Southampton.

Under fierce internal competition, Southampton soon ushered in another game.

This time, it was the semi-finals of the English League Cup.

The opponent was Arsenal, who was sent back to fight for the top four.

The current Arsenal team is indeed working hard to fight for the top four. However, their recent state is also pretty good.

When they met Southampton again, Arsenal was full of energy to take revenge.

The hatred of sending the top four is irreconcilable.

Since the first round of this English League Cup semi-final was held at Arsenal's home, Arsenal was also very confident.

"Our fire of revenge is already burning."

"Southampton, come and bear our fire of revenge!"

Arsenal's determination to take revenge is very strong. This makes the outside media very optimistic about them.

"Arsenal is very determined. They still have a great chance of revenge at the Emirates Stadium."

"As for Southampton, they also have a chance of winning. But Sun is so optimistic about Balotelli, do you dare to let him play in this game?"

Dare to let Balotelli play?

Hehe~

On the day of the game, everyone will know Sun Yi's answer.

Of course, and he will start.

Many people were surprised to see Balotelli appear in the starting lineup, and they also admired Sun Yi's courage.

"Sun is really brave to let Balotelli, who has just joined the team for less than a week, start."

Under normal circumstances, few players start in the first game after joining the team.

Unless they are players like Messi and Ronaldo.

But this is Balotelli. He doesn't have this ability.

"Is Sun angry about letting Balotelli start without any running-in?"

"In fact, Sun doesn't need to do this at all."

"I guess Sun will regret his impulse soon."

Balotelli started without running-in, which made more and more people pessimistic about Southampton's game.

"Maybe we have to congratulate Arsenal in advance. Their chances of revenge have greatly increased."

Among those who are pessimistic about Southampton, one is Yu Tianhua who is far away in France.

He couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Sun Yi send Balotelli to start.

"Hey, Coach Sun, why are you doing this?"

"If the deal loses, so lose. Why do you have to embarrass yourself and the whole team?"

"80 million? Haha~ You dare to think. If Balotelli really has such a possibility, how can I sell him?"

"Haha, it's really a fantasy."

"No, it should be said that it's a fool's dream."

"Maybe, after this game, his value will drop."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do today. Then I'll take a good look. See how you let Balotelli play with a value of 80 million."
