Extraordinary coach

Chapter 336 Moving forward

Manchester City players now completely stopped expecting other teams to stop Southampton.

After giving up this hope, they soon found that their idea was right.

In the Premier League, no one can stop Southampton except their own team.

The next Leicester City team also failed to stop Southampton from taking all three points. Even if they have the home advantage, it won't work.

Even Leicester City can't do it, and the teams behind are even more impossible. You know, Leicester City is the last strong team that Southampton will encounter in the second half of this season.

After crossing over, Bournemouth and Everton behind, many people said that even if Sun Yi didn't command, Southampton could win.

Sun Yi himself thought so. For him, before the final match against Manchester City, meeting such a team of average strength is simply to warm up Southampton and keep the state.

However, before these two games, Southampton still has a more important game to play.

That is the semi-final of the FA Cup.

This game is more difficult. Because the opponent is Chelsea.

Although they just won Chelsea not long ago, it is precisely because of this that this game is destined to be a difficult battle.

In Sun Yi's opinion, Chelsea must fight hard. This is a matter of dignity.

If Chelsea wants to save some face, this game is their last chance of revenge this season.

Anticipating the difficulty of this game, Sun Yi attached great importance to it when the game came.

In addition to pre-match simulations, he also rehearsed various plans in training early. And he also decided to go all out in this game and send the best lineup.

The best lineup can also be sent thanks to the weaker opponents in the next two rounds of Premier League games. Otherwise, Sun Yi would never dare to do so.

Against Chelsea, Southampton should say that the psychological advantage is still very large. The only disadvantage is that this game is Chelsea's home.

Precisely because it is back to Chelsea's home court, Chelsea's people are eager for a victory over Southampton.

"Back at Stamford Bridge, we must win. Because this is our home ground, it is our last dignity."

"Defend Stamford Bridge, defend dignity!"

This FA Cup semi-final is really important for Chelsea.

At present, they are ranked fifth in the Premier League. Judging from the situation, the chances of qualifying for the Champions League are not great. This makes the FA Cup their last miss this season. Otherwise, they will get nothing this season.

And this game did not have much to say for Southampton. The mentality of Southampton fans is even broader than Sun Yi.

In their view, the main focus should be on the Premier League. If you can get the FA Cup, take it, if you can't, you can accept it.

Sun Yi and the players have higher requirements for themselves.

"Cross Chelsea and enter the final."

Their slogan is very simple. It is to enter the final.

Soon, the match day arrived.

After entering the Stamford Bridge stadium, Sun Yi felt the big difference between the away game and the home game.

In order to create an atmosphere favorable to the home team, the Blues fans entered the stands with unprecedented enthusiasm. They wanted to help Chelsea with their shouts.

"Chelsea, for dignity! Fight!!"

With the crazy cheers of the Blues fans, the game began.

After entering the game, Chelsea really took advantage of the home court to launch a crazy attack.

But Southampton was not afraid and actually fought against Chelsea.

This was quite surprising.

To be honest, Sun Yi was also a little surprised. In fact, he arranged a relatively balanced offense and defense tactic. He also asked the players to be careful in the early stage.

But I didn't expect that the morale of the Southampton team was so good. The huge psychological advantage over Chelsea made them very imposing when they played.

The strong momentum made Southampton play the host.

Seeing that the players were somewhat out of the arrangement of the coaching staff, Sun Yi felt that he needed to remind the players not to let them play too much.

Unexpectedly, before he could shout out, damn, Southampton actually scored a goal.

And this goal was scored by Balotelli. His state today came out very early. Under Cahill's full defense, he first leaned on the latter to stop the long pass of his teammate with his chest, and then turned around and volleyed.

Then he scored a goal.

This is a world wave that can enter the top ten goals of the season.

Not only did it stun Courtois, but also stun everyone including Sun Yi.

In this way, with Balotelli's amazing world wave, Southampton took the lead away from home.

What's more surprising is that this goal came only five minutes after the start of the game.

It can be said that Southampton unexpectedly got a dream start.

After this goal, Southampton was even more powerful and scary. And Chelsea was hit hard.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi simply didn't interfere with the players' performance.

And the players didn't disappoint Sun Yi. With such momentum, they dominated Chelsea almost throughout the game.

Even though Conte made several adjustments, he still couldn't change the outcome that was already determined after the goal.

The result is that Southampton won the game smoothly and advanced to the finals.

This game was so smooth that even Sun Yi couldn't believe it. The hard fight he prepared before the game did not happen.

Even the consumption of the game was far less than he expected before the game.

The outcome and process of this game surprised Sun Yi, but it did not cause much response from the outside world. It seems that everyone can accept this outcome.

Well. In the eyes of the outside world, it is normal for Southampton to win anyone except Manchester City.

Such a smooth victory over Chelsea not only reduced Southampton's physical consumption, but also made their morale almost reach the peak.

This allowed Sun Yi to face the next two rounds of games more calmly after returning to the league.

And in order to fight Manchester City in the last round. In the next game, Sun Yi tried to play with the most reasonable and most energy-saving lineup.

In the games against Bournemouth and Everton, Sun Yi played a large number of substitutes.

What made Sun Yi happy was that although the substitutes did not perform as well as the main players, they still helped Southampton win the two games.

This situation is very favorable for Southampton.

What disappointed Sun Yi a little was that Manchester City did not relax their vigilance. They also successfully defeated their opponents in the two rounds.

The two teams therefore continued to maintain the same points.

"It seems that the final battle is coming!"
