Extraordinary coach

"Hello everyone, welcome to St. Mary's Stadium, and welcome to the final decisive battle of the 17-18 Premier League season. I am your old friend Martin Taylor."

"Hello everyone. I am also your old friend Allardyce."

Martin Taylor and Allardyce were once again sent to the scene by Sky Sports to commentate on the Southampton game.

And Martin Taylor seemed particularly excited today.

"I'm glad that everyone is watching this game. I'm very excited to be able to commentate on this destined to be a great game. I guess you in front of the TV are equally excited, right?"

"A 100-point showdown. A great showdown! This is the most exciting and exciting match in my commentary career so far."

"The same is true for me. If I can direct the team to play such a game, even if I can't win the championship, I think I will have no regrets in my life."

"Haha. Then, let's invite the excited Allardyce to analyze this game for everyone."

"Haha. In fact, everything about this game has been analyzed by the outside world before the game. I don't have any special analysis to come up with. I just want to say that I am looking forward to the game starting soon. I can't wait to see it. This is a duel.”

"It's coming soon. Players from both sides have already entered the field and are warming up before the game. The game will start soon."

"Well. Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of something. I'm afraid everyone has overlooked one person. That is Southampton's Adriano."

"Adriano. Allardyce, I'm not saying anything. I'm afraid Adriano is hopeless. He has had very few playing opportunities since his transfer to Southampton in the winter. His performance is also very disappointing. I'm afraid even Bolt is more likely to be on the squad than him, after all Bolt has scored before."

"Martin Taylor, I think you have ignored Adriano too much. As far as I know, Adriano was Sun's winning player when he was in Nice. I believe he will still have a unique role."

"But this game is too critical and important. I don't think Sun will let someone who can't play for a long time appear in this game."

"It is precisely because this game is so critical and important that I think Sun is more likely to send Adriano. You know, Sun is a person who likes to use some unexpected tactics."

"Haha. I still think it's impossible. Look, Allardyce, some netizens left a message saying: If you understand so well, then why is Sun the coach of the Southampton team and not you?"

"Some netizens said that if Adriano had played in this game, he would have gone naked after the game..."

"..." He didn't expect to be criticized, and Allardyce felt a little depressed.

"Okay, don't take it to heart, Allardyce. I think netizens just want to say that no coach will use some strange tactics in this game." Martin Taylor feels that most netizens are not like him It's the same view, which is good.

Seeing that Allardyce was a little unhappy, Martin Taylor quickly changed the subject.

"Well, we have got the rosters of both sides today. Next, let me introduce to you the rosters of both sides today."

"First of all, it's the Manchester City team. The formation is 433. The three forwards are Aguero, Sterling, and Sane."

"Then in the midfield, De Bruyne, David Silva and Fernandinho played together."

"Then there is the defender, composed of Devl, Stones, Kompany and Danilo."

"The goalkeeper in the end is Ederson."

"In addition to the above starters, Manchester City also has Bravo, Jesus, Laporte, B. Silva, Gundogan, Otamendi and Toure on the bench."

As soon as Martin Taylor finished talking about the list, Allardyce continued: "Manchester City's roster for the game should be similar to everyone's predictions before the game. But I have to say that Manchester City's lineup is really very good. of luxury.”

"Not to mention the starting lineup, just these few people sitting on the bench can be the absolute main players in other Premier League teams."

"Manchester City's starting lineup is not only second to none in the Premier League, but their bench depth is probably the best in the Premier League."

"With such strength, it's no wonder they can achieve this level. If it weren't for the Southampton team that repeatedly created miracles this year, I'm afraid the championship would have been theirs."

"Yes. I think so too." Martin Taylor nodded. He then continued: "Next, let me tell you about Southampton's game roster."

"Well, it's still their more commonly used 4231 formation. First of all, the center is Balotelli, which is what everyone thinks."

"Next, Kaka will serve as the attacking midfielder, and Golovin and Pulisic will serve as the two wide midfielders. This is also similar to what everyone thought before the game."

"Then there is the double midfielder, the combination of captain Davis and Romeu. This is also expected."

"Then there is the defender. Left back Joe Gomez, center backs Van Dijk and Pavard, right back Alexander-Arnold. The goalkeeper is Foster."

As soon as Martin Taylor finished talking about the starting list, Allardyce said: "The midfielder and goalkeeper are as expected. But in terms of defenders, Sun boldly used Joe Gomez and Alexander-Arnold on the two wings. Young general, this is really surprising, but it is in line with Sun’s character.”

"Well. This is indeed quite surprising." Martin Taylor nodded, and then continued: "Finally, it's about the substitutes. The Southampton team is sitting on the bench today: Lozano, Rebic, Bednar Lake, Bertrand, Prowse. And Adriano?"

When it came to the last one, Martin Taylor was stunned. "There really is Adriano. Allardyce, you really got it right. Sun Yat-sen really did put Adriano in the squad."

"Haha." Allardyce said with a proud smile: "I have said it before, based on my understanding of Sun, he is a person who likes to make surprising moves. I am sure that Adriano will definitely It will be Sun’s deadly weapon today.”

"Oh. By the way, someone just said they were going to run naked, right? If anyone sees it after the game, please post it on my Twitter."

Allardyce is quite vindictive.

Martin Taylor was also the one who refuted Allardyce's statement before, and now he was a little embarrassed. After he covered it up, he said:

"Another netizen left a message."

"What did you say again?"

"One netizen said that Adriano is only on the substitute list and may not have a chance to play. He said he bet a pound that Adriano will not have a chance to play."

"Oh, then this netizen, you can transfer money to my account. Although one pound is a little less, you can still buy a bottle of water." Allardyce said very confidently.

"Are you so confident that Adriano will play?" Martin Taylor asked in confusion.

"Of course. Adriano is already on the squad, so he will definitely play." Allardyce said with certainty.

"Having said that, if Guardiola wants to win this game, he has to seriously think about Adriano's strategy from now on. He will be the winner of this game."

"Allardyce, I think so. What you said is a bit exaggerated. I think the only people who can influence this game are Kaká and De Bruyne." Martin Taylor obviously disagreed with Allardyce's words. .

"You see, many netizens also disagree with your statement."

"Hey, forget it if you don't believe it. I'll put my words here. Today, Adriano is definitely the key figure in this game. If it hadn't been like this, I would have gone streaking after the game." Allardyce doesn't know if he is overconfident. , my head was still hot, and I started betting.

"Forget it, Allardyce. The game is about to start, and both sides have already begun the entrance ceremony. Let's start looking forward to the start of this game." Martin Taylor quickly crossed out.

Allardyce calmed down now and regretted that he had been too impulsive just now. So, he stopped speaking.

Unfortunately, his words have long been heard by fans on television. So many fans left messages saying they were waiting to see him run naked after the game.

…

Sun Yi stood in front of the bench, expressionlessly watching the players perform a handshake ceremony.

He didn't know that Allardyce, who was the commentator for this game, was making a bet. If he had known, he would have been surprised by Allardyce's judgment. Then shut him up immediately.

Sun Yi's thoughts and attention are all on the upcoming game. To be honest, he was very nervous today. Although his face was calm and expressionless at this time, he was actually panicking.

He has seen the strength of both sides. Whether it is the starting lineup or the substitute lineup, Southampton is at a disadvantage.

In addition to the defeat in the last match, Sun Yi really didn't have much confidence at this time.

Thinking of the last loss, Sun Yi couldn't help but turn his head and look at Guardiola on the other side.

Unexpectedly, Guardiola happened to look over. The two people's eyes were focused together.

Guardio was obviously more relaxed than Sun Yi, and he nodded to Sun Yi with a smile on his face.

Seeing the smile on the other person's face, Sun Yi responded with a smile without admitting defeat.

After signaling, Guardiola turned his head back. He was different from Sun Yi. When Sun Yi turned his head and continued to have an expressionless face, he still had a smile on his face.

Guardiola is really relaxed. Although Southampton has been biting the points before, he and Manchester City have felt the pressure from top to bottom. But when he finally faced it directly, he felt very relaxed.

Guardiola is very confident in his team. He has spent a lot of time studying the Southampton team, and he knows that in terms of strength, Manchester City is definitely stronger. Coupled with past winning results, Manchester City will have a greater psychological advantage.

As long as it is a normal game, Manchester City will definitely have a higher winning rate. And even if they fail to win and tie, Manchester City will be the final champion.

It can be said that Manchester City actually has a huge advantage.

Therefore, Guardiola has more options. If he chooses to play defensive counterattack and let Southampton attack, then Manchester City will be even more invincible.

However, Guardiola has his own pride, and he disdains to set up a bus like Mourinho.

This formation of 433 is his attitude.

Manchester City is going to defeat Southampton with dignity today.

As for Adriano's appearance, Guardio didn't care at all. Because he has designed solutions for every situation. And he doesn't think that Adriano can change anything.

Champion! Whether or not it will work out today seems to have to be a gamble.

Sun Yi looked at the Premier League championship award at the exit of the player tunnel and sighed in his heart.

Sun Yi's confidence was not as good as his teammates, but he would not show it on the surface. When he saw the players on the field gathered in a circle and shouted slogans to cheer, he couldn't help but raise his fist and shouted:

"Southampton, for the championship! Come on!!"

Sun Yi's move was responded by the Southampton fans in the stands.

"Southampton, for the championship! Come on!!"

Hearing the fans behind him shouting, Sun Yi couldn't help but smile, and then continued to raise his fist and shouted: "For the championship, come on!!"

The fans in the stands shouted in unison again.

This kind of action of tens of thousands of people shouting in unison is particularly easy to make people excited. Sun Yi could only feel that his blood was boiling.

He continued to shout. The fans continued to shout.

Gradually, Sun Yi was like a fan commander, and all the Southampton fans in the stadium shouted slogans together with him.

Over and over again,

The uniform shouts made all the Southamptonians seem to be integrated at this moment.

The players on the field couldn't help but pump their fists and shout.

It is very rare for the whole team of fans and players to shout together under the leadership of the head coach on the sidelines. Even the referee who has experienced countless games was a little stunned.

After a while, the referee realized that it was time for the game to start, so he blew the whistle.

"Beep!"

The game begins!

"Southampton attack!!"

The first serve was Southampton's, and they immediately launched an attack on Manchester City amid the shouts.

With the advantage of home court and the stimulation of the shouts from the whole audience, all the players on the field of Southampton were very excited.

They pushed the ball through the midfield at the fastest speed.

Although they were quickly intercepted by Manchester City's defense. But they still passed the ball at a very fast pace.

Manchester City's defense is also one of the best in the Premier League, not worse than Southampton. Therefore, their defense had almost no flaws.

This made Southampton try to attack from several directions, but they couldn't find any loopholes. If they hadn't played an extremely smooth and fast transfer tactic, they might have been blocked by Manchester City.

Manchester City's defense was so good today. So much so that Southampton couldn't find a loophole in the defense after searching for a long time. In the end, they could only give the ball to Balotelli who was at the front.

Balotelli got the ball with Kompany's back, and then he forced a turn and shot before Stones came to help.

"Bang!"

The quality of Balotelli's shot was still good. Unfortunately, due to Kompany's interference, he couldn't aim calmly and finally missed the goal.

This was Southampton's first attack.

It was the horn for the start of the decisive battle!
