Extraordinary coach

Two consecutive wins, qualifying in advance from the group stage.

This is a very satisfying result.

All Brazilian fans are very happy. They are also completely relieved. At least for the time being, there is no need to worry that the Brazilian team will become a laughing stock.

All this makes Neymar very happy and very proud.

Look at what he said after the game, he almost took the main credit on himself.

And others really think that what he said is right. He scored as a core player, and he brought happiness to the fans with many wonderful breakthroughs.

Therefore, many fans think that he is the soul of the Brazilian team. It is the key to how far the Brazilian team can go in this World Cup.

And Neymar himself thinks so.

After the match with Costa Rica, Neymar began to frequently express his opinions in training. He even put forward his own requirements for tactics.

It's not that Sun Yi can't accept the opinions of the players. It's just that Neymar's behavior is too much.

Sun Yi saw it, but didn't say it. Some things have to wait for the right time.

But Sun Yi's behavior, in Neymar's eyes, was a coward. It was a tacit acceptance of his authority.

So Neymar became more and more aggressive and began to put forward his own opinions in many aspects, acting like a coach.

This situation made Kaka and Adriano very angry. But Sun Yi told them with his eyes to stay calm.

Maybe they felt that Neymar had crossed the line too much, so several players went to remind Neymar. But Neymar said nonchalantly.

"Don't pay too much attention to him. Look at him. Since he became the head coach, has he arranged his own tactics for us?"

"No? It's like this, what's the difference between him and not having him?"

"But he is the head coach after all. If we do this, will people say that we are undermining him?"

"No. We are not really undermining him. We are just making some suggestions."

Although Neymar and his teammates said that they were not going to undermine Sun Yi, their intention to challenge Sun Yi's authority in the team was obvious.

Sun Yi naturally saw through Neymar's team's tricks at a glance. However, he did not take any action for the time being, but used his energy to understand and study the opponents in the later knockout stage.

For example, the defending champion German team.

Due to the rules of the competition, judging from the Germans' loss in the first game, Brazil is very likely to meet them in the knockout round of 16.

It seems that they were stimulated by the Brazilian team's early qualification. In the second group match, they began to exert their strength.

They successfully defeated the powerful Swedish team with a score of 2:1.

In this game, Germany had a huge advantage. For example, the ball possession rate was as high as 75%. This is simply controlling the ball throughout the game.

And this victory also made the outside world begin to praise them constantly.

"Look, as long as the German team gets serious, isn't it winning?"

"Look at the 75% ball possession rate, this dominance is simply amazing. Who can do that?"

"This is the real German tank. They are back!!"

"From this game, it is definitely no problem for the German team to qualify. Next, we have to worry about their opponents in the knockout stage."

"If the German team finally qualifies as the second in the group, then the opponent in the knockout stage will be the Brazilian team."

"Germany vs. Brazil, isn't that an early final?"

"What an early final. Have you forgotten the massacre of the last World Cup?"

"Yes. In this case, the Brazilian team still has to find a way to lose the third game in order to avoid the German team."

In the knockout stage, Brazil will face Germany, and from the current point of view, there is really a high probability.

The Brazilian team has also begun to be affected. Many players are discussing whether to let the last group match go. Anyway, the second place in the group will also qualify, so avoiding the German team is the best choice.

These words sounded a bit like destroying one's own prestige and boosting others' ambitions.

In the past, Sun Yi would have tried to dispel the players' thoughts as soon as possible.

However, this time he did not express anything, but arranged the Brazilian team to train normally.

Instead, the fans of the Brazilian team began to argue fiercely about this.

Most Brazilian fans think that it would be better to avoid the German team.

Chinese fans are much tougher. They think that with Sun Yi's character and the strength of the Brazilian team, they should not avoid the battle.

No matter who the opponent is, just be tough.

A truly strong team does not need to pick opponents.

If you really want the championship, you will have to face the German team sooner or later. It doesn't matter whether you play early or late.

Under this discussion, the Brazilian team soon ushered in the third game of the group.

The opponent of this third game is Serbia.

Serbia's performance in this World Cup is also good. At present, they have achieved a record of one win and one loss.

If they can beat Brazil in this third game, they still have hope of qualifying.

Therefore, they will definitely fight hard in this game.

After the game started, the Serbian team really fought hard.

The Brazilian team seemed to be more hesitant. They seemed to have a lack of desire to score.

This was actually affected by the idea of ​​choosing opponents.

Without Sun Yi's explicit statement, the Brazilian team seemed to be a little hesitant. This was especially obvious in Neymar. He seemed to be struggling with whether to avoid the German team.

Sun Yi took advantage of the team's mood and changed most of the starting lineup for this game.

However, because Neymar was still in the starting lineup, and Kaka and Adriano were still on the bench, Sun Yi's approach did not cause any opposition.

It was precisely because of the Brazilian team's mentality that the Brazilian team did not perform well after the game started.

The result was that the two sides tied in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Sun Yi did not make any adjustments. He still let the players play on their own.

It was just that the Brazilian players still failed to unify their thoughts and continued to play very undeterminedly. This made the game always in a dull 0:0.

However, when the game came to the 60th minute, Sun Yi replaced Neymar.

This not only made people think that he was ready to give up the game, but also made Neymar a little unhappy.

Neymar was not unhappy about the fact that he was going to let the water go, but that he was replaced too early.

"Why? Let me down so early?"

"We need to prepare for the next game. That will be more important."

Sun Yi's reason made Neymar unable to refute.

When Neymar thought that the decision to let the game go was made by Sun Yi, he said nothing more.

In his opinion, Sun Yi took the blame for letting the game go.

In the next game, if Brazil loses, they can avoid Germany. At the same time, this responsibility is also Sun Yi's. If people outside want to scold, they will only scold Sun Yi.
