Extraordinary coach

Sun Yi directly rejected Tadic's transfer request.

He thought Tadic would go back and think about it for a while. At least, he would not bring it up again before the game with Manchester United.

But what Sun Yi did not expect was that Tadic not only did not think about it, but directly announced his intention to leave Southampton.

This directly caused a huge response from the outside world.

"Southampton midfielder Tadic has the intention to leave."

"It seems that the conflict between Tadic and Sun can no longer be resolved. He was forced to show his hand at this critical juncture."

"What made Tadic make such a decision at this time? What is the hidden story behind it?"

Tadic's behavior aroused the curiosity of the outside world. Many people could not understand why he had to show his hand at this time.

So many media went to interview Tadic. Tadic did not say anything, but just said that he hoped to change his development platform.

Many media also went to interview Sun Yi.

"Sun, why did Tadic suddenly ask for a transfer at this time? Did something happen?"

"Tadic seems to be determined to leave. What do you think about this? Will you let him go?"

"In a few days, you will play against Manchester United. It will definitely be affected, right? What do you think? What do you think about this? What is your response to this?"

Faced with the questions of many reporters, Sun Yi could only say: "I am very sorry that Tadic has such an idea. However, this is normal when the transfer window is open."

"As for the rest, I have nothing to say for the time being."

Neither Sun Yi nor Tadic had much to say. This left the media, who were both curious and wanted news, to use their imagination.

So, soon, various rumors began to circulate in the streets.

What Sun Yi and Tadic had a conflict during training, causing Tadic to want to leave. What Tadic was excluded by Sun Yi's direct line such as Kaka and was forced to leave. There were also some rumors that Sun Yi's coaching style advocated the use of force, which made Tadic particularly uncomfortable. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors. And it was spread in a very conspicuous way.

If someone put all these rumors together, it would be a book of grudges.

Although most of the rumors are false and hard to be convincing. But such a thing happening at this time is still very detrimental to Southampton's preparations.

When preparing for the game with all their strength, such a thing really affects the morale of the team. It makes it difficult for everyone to devote themselves to training wholeheartedly.

Faced with this situation, Sun Yi simply gave up the idea of ​​​​persuading Tadic to stay and agreed to his transfer request.

And as soon as a team expressed its intention to buy, Sun Yi nodded without hesitation.

So just like that, the day after Sun Yi nodded his head and was willing to let Tadic go, the transfer was reached.

Tadic went to Ajax in the Eredivisie for a transfer fee of 13 million pounds.

From Tadic's idea of ​​leaving on the Internet to his real departure, it took only a few days.

This transfer efficiency is a bit too fast.

It's hard to say that there is no trick behind it.

However, Sun Yi didn't care. Tadic had already left anyway. There was no need to worry about it.

Originally, everyone thought that this matter would be a long one. Some people thought that with Sun Yi's temper, he would rather kill Tadic than let him go.

Unexpectedly, the incident ended so quickly.

This disappointed those who wanted to watch the show.

"I didn't expect this matter to progress so quickly. It really makes people, um, feel decisive."

Sun Yi did a good job. It was really decisive to let go after knowing that Tadic was determined to leave.

And it was his decisiveness that allowed Southampton to calm down the storm before the game with Manchester United.

Although it was inevitable that Tadic's matter affected some morale. But because it was handled quickly, it did not further affect the morale of the team.

After selling Tadic, Sun Yi took the Southampton team to conduct closed training. He didn't want the outside world to affect the team again.

And as the game approached,

The second round of the Saint-Devil War this season has also entered the heated discussion among the media and fans.

"The second round of the Saint-Devil War is coming. This time, I am afraid that the situation is a bit unfavorable for Southampton."

"Originally, Southampton's recent momentum was quite good. Unfortunately, Tadic's transfer that affected morale happened at this time."

"The last time they played, it was at Southampton's home court. Southampton failed to win despite the advantage of home court. This time, coming to Manchester United's territory, the situation will definitely be more unfavorable to them."

"Under such an unfavorable situation, it can be determined that Southampton's chances of winning are very small. The high probability will be a draw or a loss."

The away game and Tadic's incident did make the outside world not very optimistic about the outcome of Southampton in this battle.

Manchester United, on the other hand, seemed very confident. Although they are currently only ranked fifth in the standings.

"Welcome to the devil's territory."

"This time, we will definitely win."

"Tadic's transfer at this time is simply God cheering for us."

"I can feel that a big victory is waiting for us."

"Come on! Red Devils, this time we must defeat those guys who are just in name only! Then we can be in the championship again."

Manchester United fans are really confident about this game.

In addition to the Red Devils fans, Mourinho, the head coach, is also very confident.

"This is our home court. Southampton has been in trouble again recently. Why can't we win?"

Mourinho's words were very concise, but they revealed a domineering attitude of ignoring the opponent.

After hearing Mourinho's words at the pre-match press conference, Sun Yi couldn't help but come out to make a victory declaration.

We can't let Mourinho be so proud.

So, Sun Yi also made a domineering declaration at the pre-match press conference held next.

"We did encounter a little bit of trouble recently. But we have solved it very well."

"What I want to say is that our players like to run wild recently. Especially like to run wild in other people's home courts. At Old Trafford, I think there will be no exception."

Sun Yi's declaration of victory is no less powerful than Mourinho's. Such a declaration of not giving in to each other made the outside world look forward to the arrival of this game.

Some media thought they could see another war of words.

However, neither Sun Yi nor Mourinho said anything to the public afterwards.

After Sun Yi led the Southampton team to Manchester, the two of them had a round of verbal battles at the dinner table as usual.
