Extraordinary coach

In this fifth round of the FA Cup, Southampton played against West Ham United.

Due to the strength, Sun Yi only sent half of the main players to win the game.

It can be said that the whole process of the game was very smooth. The only flaw was that Van Dijk was injured at the end of the game. Sun Yi had to make a substitution.

The injury was not a big injury. But after the post-match examination, the team doctor said that Van Dijk had to rest for two weeks.

This will cause Van Dijk to miss four games in these two weeks.

Van Dijk can be said to be the absolute core of Southampton's defense. His injury is very bad news for Sun Yi.

Sun Yi was also helpless about this. He had already started to rest in rotation, in order to try to avoid the players from getting injured in the post-match period.

Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, the main players were still injured.

Van Dijk entered the wounded camp, which was very unfavorable news for Southampton.

But for Manchester City, the top rival for the championship, it is good news.

After hearing the news, Manchester City fans cheered on the Internet.

"Haha. That's great. God is helping us."

"Van Dijk is the main defender of Southampton. He has always relied on him to keep Southampton's defense as solid as a city wall. Southampton's current success is absolutely inseparable from his defensive contribution."

"Van Dijk will rest for four games. This will be the weakest time for Southampton's defense this season. This will be a good opportunity for all opponents in the future."

"I seem to see Southampton is going to lose."

"As long as Southampton loses a Premier League game, our team can completely get rid of them."

Stimulated by this good news, Manchester City is said to have a strong desire to win.

In the next 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 3-0 away.

All three points made Manchester City very happy.

After being happy, they set their sights on Southampton.

In the same round of games, Southampton's opponent was not strong, it was Swansea in the relegation zone.

So, Manchester City's supporters thought: Without Van Dijk, Southampton's overall strength has dropped significantly. Swansea must fight to stay in the league. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is still possible to fight for a draw.

Unfortunately, Southampton, who also played away, also defeated the home team 3-0.

In this game, Sun Yi let Southampton play the main offense and did not give Swansea much chance to attack the backcourt.

This made Manchester City's supporters a little disappointed.

"Swansea is still a little weak."

"But it doesn't matter, Southampton will face West Ham United next."

"Although West Ham United lost to Southampton in the FA Cup some time ago, this time it's at their home ground, so they can still fight for a draw."

"Even if they can't force a draw with Southampton, given their iron-blooded style, if they accidentally hurt anyone on Southampton, then, hehe~"

After being disappointed, Manchester City fans put their hopes on the next game. It's just that their hopes are a bit speechless.

Manchester City themselves are quite competitive. In the next Premier League 31st round, they won easily at home.

However, in the same round of the game, Southampton won again.

Not only did Southampton win, but there were no injuries in the game. And Sun Yi won the game with half of the main players.

This made Manchester City fans very disappointed.

"West Ham United is really useless. They couldn't even get a draw at home. They deserve their mediocre performance."

Southampton didn't lose even a single point, which prevented Manchester City from taking the opportunity to widen the score. This inevitably put Manchester City under a lot of pressure.

The next game was the third one in which Van Dijk needed to recover from his injury. Manchester City didn't pay much attention to this game.

Because this was the FA Cup, it had nothing to do with them. Naturally, they didn't care.

Competitors didn't care, but Sun Yi had to pay great attention to it. This FA Cup was the quarterfinals.

After winning the League Cup, Sun Yi told the players that it was only the first championship, and there were two more championships to be won. This FA Cup was one of the goals.

Although the opponent in the quarterfinals was West Bromwich Albion from the Championship. But Sun Yi sent more main players.

In the FA Cup, there are almost always dark horses every year. Sun Yi doesn't want his team to be slaughtered by others.

Because of the importance attached to this game, Sun Yi did not give West Bromwich Albion any chance. They won the game smoothly.

The only troublesome thing was that West Bromwich Albion really fought hard in this game. This made Southampton win smoothly, but there was more consumption than Sun Yi expected.

More main players were sent, and there was a lot of consumption. This was not good for Southampton.

And this made the people of Manchester City very happy.

"Haha. Sun is too greedy. He is unwilling to give up his ambition of the FA Cup. Now, Southampton has obviously suffered a lot of consumption."

"Next, he is likely to suffer a Waterloo."

"Wenger, your chance for revenge has come."

"This is your best chance. Arsenal, you must seize it. Otherwise, you will have to wait until next season."

After the game with West Bromwich Albion, Southampton's next opponent is Arsenal. And they will have to challenge Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Playing away from home, the core of the defense is injured, and the previous game was too exhausting. This is indeed a good opportunity for Arsenal.

And because Arsenal lost in the previous two encounters. With new and old grudges, Arsenal is really eager to take revenge.

But when the game came, although Arsenal had the home advantage, they were quickly defeated by Southampton's crazy attack.

Such a result once again disappointed the people of Manchester City.

"Arsenal is really useless. Wenger is really old. It's really disappointing!"

"Even when Southampton is at its weakest, they can't get points. They are really degraded."

In addition to feeling disappointed, Manchester City is more stressed.

In the situation of Southampton, they didn't get away from the score, which put them under great psychological pressure.

Southampton chased so closely that they had to keep tense and almost couldn't breathe.
