Extraordinary coach

"Disappointing Tottenham. They are really disappointing!"

"In front of Southampton, they played like a group of children. How can they be a strong team?"

"Tottenham is a fake strong team! Promise me, you should fight for the top four. Stop dreaming about the championship, okay?"

Tottenham was beaten 3:0 by Southampton at home. The score is one thing, but the key is that after the whole game, except for Son Heung-min's performance later, there was no sign of being able to compete with Southampton.

Such a team is not qualified to compete for the championship.

This is really disappointing to the outside world. Because of this game, Tottenham is considered by everyone to be a fake strong team.

Of course, some people think that Tottenham lost like this mainly because of Kane's use of tactics. But this is another matter.

"Manchester United was beaten hard, and Tottenham was beaten down. What will be the fate of the next Arsenal team?"

This devil week was successfully passed by Southampton in two levels in a row. While the outside world was sighing, they also doubted whether Arsenal, as the third level, could hold up.

Yes, everyone is thinking about whether Arsenal can hold up, rather than expecting Arsenal to stop Southampton. The fate of the previous two teams makes people dare not think so extravagantly.

But Arsenal is quite confident.

"We won't let you down!"

"We are not Tottenham. We have enough confidence and morale to face Southampton."

"We dare not say that we can beat Southampton, but we will definitely fight them to the end."

"We just hope for a good result!"

The Arsenal players said this in an interview. They looked very confident and morale when they said this.

Having said that, the recent Arsenal team is indeed qualified to be so confident.

Because they have won many victories against strong opponents recently. Not only did they beat Tottenham before, but they also beat Manchester United away in the 15th round of the Premier League.

Southampton has defeated Manchester United and Tottenham in a row. And Arsenal has also defeated these two teams recently.

So, Arsenal is really confident this time.

And this confidence gives Arsenal fans great confidence and expectations.

"It may be very difficult to beat Southampton at St. Mary's. But we are in such good form recently, it is not impossible."

"Besides, our requirements are not high. As long as we can take points from St. Mary's, it will be fine."

"Of course, it would be best if we can get all three points."

"Come on! Arsenal. Give Southampton a good fight, maybe we can create a miracle."

When Sun Yi heard these words, he said lightly: "There will always be miracles. But I think we are the team that always creates miracles."

"As for Arsenal. I think it is really beautiful to have a dream. Everyone should have a dream. There is nothing wrong with that."

You are dreaming, but just dream, don't take it seriously.

Sun Yi's words were a bit arrogant, but no one appeared to refute him. He dared to say these words because Southampton could really do it.

Want to get all three points from Southampton, and at St. Mary's? Liverpool and Manchester City can't do it. Just relying on the Arsenal team that habitually fights for the fourth place?

This dream is a bit bold.

In the first half of almost every season, Arsenal is really amazing. Almost every season, the first half always gives people the illusion that they can fight for the championship. It always makes their fans inexplicably excited, and then look forward to the new season.

In the end, they always find that Arsenal can only fight for the fourth place.

"Nana, you should go back to fight for the fourth place! Fighting for the championship is not suitable for you."

"St. Mary's welcomes you to be our guest. We will treat you well."

"I believe you will have a wonderful experience like Manchester United or Tottenham."

"How about a minimum consumption?"

"The minimum consumption from St. Mary's Stadium, you deserve it."

The fans of the Southampton team did not give Arsenal any face at all, and directly exposed their old bottom. At the same time, they also expressed their undoubted attitude of victory.

"Southampton team, must win!"

In such a voice that resounded throughout the St. Mary's Stadium, both sides stepped into the stadium.

"Welcome to St. Mary's. Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

On the sidelines, Sun Yi's hand and Emery's hand were shaken together.

Sun Yi and Emery are old acquaintances. The two were old rivals in Ligue 1.

It's just that in Ligue 1, Emery had the French giant Paris Saint-Germain, but he was repeatedly defeated by Sun Yi. He was dismissed from Paris Saint-Germain in disgrace, and a large part of the reason was due to Sun Yi.

This season, Emery finally became the head coach of Arsenal after a long period of dormancy.

"Sun, we finally meet again. I always remember the failure you gave me in France."

"Oh, I forgot."

"The reason I came to the Premier League is to take off the hat of loser."

"Oh." Sun Yi didn't expect Emery to still be upset about his defeat to his men. "But you might be disappointed. My men are several times stronger than they were back then."

"Really? Then wait and see!"

Emery smiled confidently, then turned and walked away.

"So confident?"

Sun Yi was still a little surprised. He hadn't seen such a confident opponent this season. He had seen many opponents with deep hatred.

"I hope that in the next game, Arsenal's performance will live up to your confidence."

Later, the game started with the referee's whistle.

At the beginning of the game, Southampton, taking advantage of the home court, launched a fierce attack. They were obviously suppressing Arsenal when they were not yet stable.

"Attack! Kill them!"

However, surprisingly, Arsenal did not lose their footing under the fierce attack of Southampton, but played very steadily.

The defense line was built in an orderly manner, and then under the active defense of the players, they successfully defended the first attack of the Southampton team.

"Huh~ Not bad!"

Arsenal's performance made Sun Yi nod his head. It seems that Emery's words are really confident.

"The offense is also well organized. This is really good!"

Arsenal's performance after having the ball next made Sun Yi praise it.

Because Arsenal's first attack was really remarkable.

They played very patiently. Well, in fact, Arsenal has always been very patient.

Wenger's Arsenal team used to play very patiently, but it always gave people a feeling of controlling the ball.

But today is a little different. Arsenal is very patient when controlling the ball, but once they attack forward, they are very fast and determined.

And Arsenal's attack this time completed a shot.

Although there was no goal, it brought a lot of danger to Southampton's goal.

In the first attack, Southampton's attack failed to form a shot, while Arsenal did. In this comparison, Southampton was at a disadvantage.

"Good guy! It seems that this person is really not friendly!"

Sun Yi turned his head to look at the other side, and then saw Emery nodding to the court with satisfaction.

Emery met Sun Yi's gaze and raised his eyebrows at Sun Yi. It seemed to be saying: How is it? Is it okay?

Sun Yi nodded, turned around and shouted loudly to the players on the field: "Attack! Bring out the dishes for the guests to taste."

Hearing Sun Yi's words, the Southampton players on the field understood that Sun Yi wanted them to play seriously and show their real skills.

"The boss has spoken, everyone should be serious. Let's get a goal first."

The Southampton players began to look serious. Soon they launched a more fierce attack than before.

Seeing Southampton suddenly pick up the pace of attack, the fans in the stands were excited.

"The pace has been picked up. This is to exert force."

"Good! Teach them a good lesson."

But then, the Southampton fans found that Arsenal was more tenacious than they thought. Although Southampton's attack finally formed a shot, the whole process was not smooth. And this last shot was also a long shot that failed to hit the goal. There was no threat at all.

On the other hand, Arsenal played an attack similar to the first attack.

"Hey! Today's Arsenal played well!"

"Why do I feel that it is a little different from the previous Arsenal team? It feels stronger than last season!"

In these two rounds of competition, Arsenal actually had the upper hand. Southampton fans couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Haha. Beautiful kick!"

"If we keep playing like this, who says we can't create miracles?"

There were not many Arsenal fans present, but they were very excited at this moment.

But they became more and more excited later.

In the following games, Arsenal played very well. Not only did they do well in defense, but they were also very methodical in offense. They made many threatening shots in offense.

"Sun, I feel a little strange." Dio frowned and said to Sun Yi on the sidelines.

"What do you mean?"

"I feel that Arsenal's tactics today seem to have restrained us a little."

Dio's words made Sun Yi fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yi said: "Well. I have to admit that Arsenal's tactics today are very interesting. Pragmatic and enterprising..."

Yes, Sun Yi has seen that Emery's tactics today are very pragmatic. This is true both in defense and offense.

Sun Yi's words are also very close to reality.

In this game, don't look at Arsenal's desire to win. Those who don't know will think that they are preparing to compete with Southampton for the championship. However, in fact, Arsenal has long set its goal to compete for the top four from top to bottom.

This positioning makes them not so stressed when facing Southampton. Instead, they have a kind of inspiration to challenge the powerful.

This mentality allows Arsenal players to play very high combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why Arsenal, although not as strong as Southampton in overall strength, performs better than Southampton in away games.

"Maybe we can adjust our tactics." Dio suggested.

"Wait a minute." Sun Yi was unwilling to adjust his tactics so quickly.

In his own home court, and with the advantage in strength, he was forced to adjust his tactics first. This was to bow to the opponent.

Sun Yi was unwilling to do this kind of thing that would boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.

He felt that with Southampton's strength, as long as the players adjusted their mentality and really took this game seriously. I believe that the situation will be reversed later.

Sun Yi did not say anything.

But as top players, the players on the field of Southampton soon realized that they still had problems with their mentality.

"Today's opponent is very capable! It seems that we can't underestimate them."

"Brothers, we really have to be serious. This is St. Mary's Stadium, our home court. We can't continue to play like this, it would be too embarrassing."

Under the encouragement of Ronaldo, the Southampton team began to really devote themselves to the game.

This time, not only the rhythm was raised, but also the intensity of the confrontation increased a lot. Moreover, the players of Southampton team also became more and more actively involved in the attack.

This made Southampton team's offensive become more threatening. It began to really threaten Arsenal's goal.

However, today's Arsenal team was unusually tough. They also became more tenacious in defense. With almost desperate fighting, they still successfully kept their goal.

As Southampton's offensive threat was significantly enhanced, Arsenal team simply retreated a little, and even turned into a defensive counterattack.

Arsenal's changes successfully allowed them to adapt to Southampton's offensive rhythm, and they withstood Southampton's fierce attack several times in a row.

Although these attacks were withstood, seeing Southampton's momentum, Southampton fans also became excited.

"Good. Attack!"

"The situation began to turn around. We finally suppressed them."

"Besiege them. Until they are completely defeated!"

Based on past experience, once Southampton pressed the opponent in the backcourt to besiege. Then there is only one ending, that is, the opponent is besieged to death by them.

With the cheers of the fans, Southampton's offensive reached a climax. They began to surge towards Arsenal like a tide.

In these tide-like offensives, Arsenal was frighteningly strong.

While Southampton was getting more and more involved in the attack, Arsenal successfully defended once and immediately launched a counterattack.

They successfully played a quick counterattack. Created an extremely threatening killing opportunity.

Fortunately, Foster was brave today and actually saved Aubameyang's shot.

This counterattack really scared the Southampton team. If Foster played a little worse today, the ball would have gone in.

"Oh my! Arsenal, are you not going to fight for the top four!"
