Extraordinary coach
Chapter 401: Five consecutive wins
I actually felt that the competition for the championship started from the first round, so Sun Yi naturally went all out for any of the following games.
After getting off to a good start, Sun Yi quickly led Southampton to start the second round of the Premier League.
By the way, Southampton's schedule at the beginning of the new season is really very comfortable.
In the first round, they met the average Burnley team. In the second round, Southampton met the average Everton team again.
Of course, the average Everton team refers to the current strength of Southampton.
In fact, Everton has been quite strong in recent years. It has always maintained a position of 7th or 8th.
You know, the next position is Arsenal, Manchester United and other traditional strong teams.
So, Everton's actual strength is very good.
It's just that it can't compare with Southampton, which has C Ronaldo.
In this game against Everton, Southampton is playing away, and they have to go to Goodison Park to play.
With the blessing of the home court, Everton still played very actively and tenaciously.
However, in the face of absolute strength, being active and tenacious alone is not so useful.
In the first half, Southampton took the lead in breaking the deadlock and taking the lead.
The person who scored the goal was still Cristiano Ronaldo who was in full swing.
With the goal lead, the rest of the game was a piece of cake.
In the end, in this game, Southampton easily defeated Everton 2-0 away from home.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Sun Yi once again used up three substitutions early. Let more players play.
After winning this game, Southampton won two consecutive games. This made their morale very good.
With the momentum of the winning streak, Sun Yi returned to his home court a few days later to welcome the third round of the Premier League.
The opponent in this third game was a little challenging. It was Leicester City, which won the Premier League championship in the 15-16 season.
However, this season, their core player Mahrez was poached by Manchester City, which greatly weakened their strength.
After the game started, Sun Yi found that Mahrez's departure had a greater impact on Leicester City than he thought.
The difficulties that Leicester City brought to Southampton in the game were smaller than those of Everton.
In the end, Southampton also played the minimum consumption at St. Mary's Stadium, and also got 3-0.
After the game, Sun Yi couldn't help but sigh that the Leicester City team that could win the Premier League championship that year is gone forever.
In the next seven or eight years, let alone competing for the championship, Leicester City will have a hard time competing for the Europa League qualification. They are really lost.
It seems that the championship in the 15/16 season was very important!
Whether Leicester City is lost or not, it doesn't make sense for the current Southampton team. Even the peak Leicester City team when it won the championship, Sun Yi felt at most that there was just one more opponent.
After defeating Leicester City, Southampton also achieved three consecutive wins in the new season. This made the fans of Southampton very happy.
They all started to clamor for a five-game winning streak.
"Five-game winning streak?"
"This is possible."
Hearing the fans' words, Sun Yi smiled and agreed. He is so confident.
There is no way, who said that Southampton's schedule is too good.
In their first five rounds, Everton and Leicester City should be said to be the strongest.
Next, Southampton's opponents in two consecutive rounds are fish-level opponents.
For example, their opponent in the fourth round is the Crystal Palace team with very average strength.
Facing such an opponent, even if it was an away game, Sun Yi only used half of the main players.
In the end, Southampton won the victory smoothly. The only thing that made Sun Yi a little dissatisfied was that Southampton lost a goal in this game. Let Southampton lose the first goal of the season.
Southampton's opponent in the fifth round of the Premier League is the newly promoted Brighton.
It's a newly promoted team, so you can imagine how strong it is.
Back at home, Sun Yi simply sent all the substitutes to play. Not only did he put Ronaldo and others on the bench, but even goalkeeper Foster was excluded from the game list.
With a group of substitutes, Southampton not only won a complete victory again, but also achieved the minimum consumption again. And this time the minimum consumption is not just three goals, but four goals.
This is a hearty victory.
And this massacre-like victory not only boosted the morale of the entire Southampton team, allowing them to achieve five consecutive victories.
With this, Southampton has achieved a five-game winning streak to start the new season.
This is definitely a dreamy start.
However, this start did not make the Southampton people very excited.
First, last season, Southampton also achieved the same five-game winning streak.
Second, this time, Southampton's main rivals also achieved an amazing five-game winning streak.
For example, Liverpool also achieved five consecutive wins. And they defeated the strong rival Tottenham away in the fifth round.
Liverpool's five-game winning streak is obviously more difficult than Southampton.
This once again confirmed that Liverpool is an extremely strong competitor this season.
Another team that won five consecutive victories was Manchester City. Among their five consecutive victories, there was also a high-quality match against Arsenal.
In the second round, they were even more exaggerated, beating their opponent Huddersfield by 6 to 1.
This score was too bloody and cruel.
Moreover, it should be noted that Manchester City's five consecutive victories were achieved without the core player De Bruyne.
It can be seen that Manchester City's overall strength is really amazing.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi was very glad that he had determined that everyone's competition would start from the first round. He did not relax his vigilance.
Otherwise, they might have been suppressed by these two opponents at this moment.
After these two rounds of Premier League games, the outside world also clearly confirmed one thing.
"This season's championship contenders have been revealed. Southampton, Manchester City and Liverpool, the three teams that have won five consecutive games, are the contenders. As for the other teams, you can set your sights on competing for the top four."
"These are three unique teams in the Premier League, and they will form a three-way confrontation. This will make this season's Premier League more interesting and exciting. At the same time, the competition will be unprecedented."
"Who will have the last laugh among these three teams? It's really exciting!"
