Extraordinary coach

Most of the comments from the outside world were negative towards Southampton.

What really put Sun Yi under great pressure was the lack of confidence within the Southampton team.

"This is Real Madrid! They have won three consecutive Champions League titles!"

"We probably don't have much chance of winning against them."

"..."

Sun Yi didn't expect that the loss to Manchester United would have such a big impact on Southampton's morale.

Realizing that many players were a little afraid of Real Madrid, Sun Yi knew that he had to pay attention to it.

Yes, in fact, Sun Yi himself felt that he was under a lot of pressure to face Real Madrid.

But he couldn't let the players have this kind of pressure. If they faced Real Madrid in this state, they would basically lose half.

This must change!

So, Sun Yi took the opportunity before training to gather all the players in front of him.

"Did you see the comments outside?"

"I saw it. They don't think much of us."

"Some people also said that we will lose badly when we go to the Bernabeu this time." A player said in a depressed mood.

Seeing that many players were in such a depressed state, Sun Yi was very dissatisfied. "Then, are you afraid?"

"..."

"No. We are not afraid."

"You are not afraid, then you should raise your heads. Raise them high." After Sun Yi looked around, he continued loudly: "One loss cannot defeat us. The Premier League championship will still be ours. But if you lose confidence, you will really lose the championship."

"As for Real Madrid, so what? They won the Champions League three times in a row, so what? We can still beat them."

"If you don't believe it, ask Ronaldo?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Ronaldo. Ronaldo stood there with his head held high, with a firm face.

"Ronaldo is the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's three consecutive championships. And now he is standing next to you. You are the closest to the Champions League. Ronaldo, tell everyone, what will happen to us against Real Madrid in this battle?"

"Victory!" Ronaldo said lightly. A strong confidence burst out from him.

"I came to Southampton to win more championships and more glory. Champions League, my only goal is the championship. Top 16? Haha..."

With Ronaldo's chuckle, the other players in Southampton instantly felt their hearts agitated.

Sun Yi said: "We have another player who helped Real Madrid win the Champions League."

Hearing this, the eyes of all the players were on Casillas. Casillas didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly. Everything was silent.

"That's right, it's Casillas. He and Ronaldo, two stars who once led Real Madrid to countless glory. Now they are standing beside you and are your comrades-in-arms."

"They were able to lead Real Madrid to such a height before, and now, they can also create greater glory with you!"

Looking at the indifferent Casillas and the resolute Ronaldo, the other people in Southampton felt that their confidence had completely returned to themselves.

Yes. These two legendary guys are now our teammates. They are on the same side as us. What reason do I have to be afraid of Real Madrid?

Seeing that the confidence and morale of most players were steadily recovering, Sun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there are Ronaldo and Casillas, otherwise it would be difficult to motivate the players.

After regaining the morale and confidence of the team, Sun Yi began to prepare for the game.

No matter how good the language is, it can only motivate for a while. It is most important to have good tactics to give the team an advantage during the game.

Next, before the game, Sun Yi and Dio and others studied the game videos of Real Madrid this season.

It is precisely because of a large amount of game analysis that Sun Yi has a sufficient understanding of Real Madrid. It also allows him to better use the system to simulate the game.

In order to prepare for the game, Sun Yi desperately simulated the game. This consumed a lot of energy.

He always looked exhausted during this period. This caused Juanjuan's parents to misunderstand, and they also advised Juanjuan to take it easy, saying that Sun Yi couldn't bear it.

This made Juanjuan very depressed and speechless.

A large number of battle simulations gave Sun Yi great help.

But it did not relieve the pressure in his heart. Because from the results of many simulations, Southampton did not have much chance of winning.

On the contrary, as the outside world said, the chance of winning was less than that of Real Madrid.

This situation made Sun Yi somewhat pessimistic about the prospects of this battle. However, when he faced the players, he always looked relaxed and confident. Let the players think that he was in the lead.

Of course, battle simulations cannot determine the actual result of the game. Otherwise, they would not have lost the game against Manchester United.

Whether the victory or defeat depends on who is in better condition and whose tactics are more appropriate at the time of the game.

Soon, Sun Yi flew to Madrid with the Southampton team. After a short period of stepping on the field and adapting, the game day arrived.

After arriving in Madrid, Sun Yi was quite satisfied. Whether it was living or visiting the stadium, the Southampton team did not encounter any obstacles or difficulties. In this regard, Sun Yi still had to praise the Real Madrid team for being more generous.

On the day of the game,

the entire Bernabeu Stadium was full.

The media and fans from all over the world crowded the entire stadium.

As soon as he led the team into the stadium, Sun Yi felt an atmosphere that was very different from other stadiums.

In many cases in the past, even when playing away, Southampton always felt like playing at home. But today was a thorough away experience.

Many Southampton supporters entered the Bernabeu Stadium, but it was obvious that the fans of the Real Madrid team had the upper hand.

Before the game started, the singing and momentum of the Real Madrid fans enveloped the entire Bernabeu Stadium.

Listening to the Real Madrid team song that almost overturned the top of the stadium, Sun Yi felt a little more pressure in his heart.

"This atmosphere is not too much to call it a devil's home court!"

After all, it was Sun Yi's first time to come to the Bernabeu, and he was unfamiliar with everything here. But he felt okay.

When Ronaldo and Casillas heard those songs that were once very familiar, their expressions were very complicated.

After a Real Madrid team song was sung, the home fans began to express another kind of emotion.

"Look, there is Casillas, he may play today."

"Welcome home, Casillas."

"Come on, you are our captain forever!"

"..."

The fans of Real Madrid not only applauded Casillas, but also put up various banners of encouragement for him.

Seeing all this, Casillas' eyes were full of tears. He seemed very happy and waved.

Obviously, Casillas' status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans is still quite high.

As people who also left Real Madrid, Ronaldo's treatment can't be compared with Casillas.

Real Madrid fans greeted Casillas with applause, but greeted Ronaldo with boos and curses.

"Traitor, go to hell!!!"

The emotional Real Madrid fans even set fire to the No. 7 jersey that once belonged to Ronaldo directly in the stands.

"Ronaldo, get out. Bernabeu, you are not welcome!"

Listening to the Real Madrid fans' curses and cries, and seeing their radical behavior of burning jerseys, Ronaldo's face completely sank.

Compared with Casillas, Ronaldo's treatment is really different from that of Casillas. Such a huge difference in treatment makes Ronaldo feel very hurt.

"Why?"

"Hasn't what I have paid for Real Madrid over the years been enough?"

"Where have I let Real Madrid down?"

Ronaldo muttered softly, his face was very ugly. If you look closely, you can also see a strong sense of sadness and anger.

"Don't worry. Fans are not all rational. Maybe they don't understand you now, but they will understand your choice in the future." Sun Yi put his arm around Ronaldo's shoulders and comforted him in a deep voice.

"..."

"You haven't let Real Madrid down. You don't need to have any psychological burden."

"Don't think too much, play well!"

After a sigh, Ronaldo nodded heavily. "I understand."

It's understandable, but it's not so easy to accept this situation.

When the handshake session of the entrance ceremony was held, the cold attitude of those old comrades who had fought side by side for many years made Ronaldo feel uncomfortable.

And what made him most uncomfortable was facing Ramos. The latter refused to shake hands with him and threatened: "I will kick your ass hard for the fans."

"..."

Ronaldo didn't say anything, but when he stood in position to welcome the game, Sun Yi saw the raging anger in his eyes.

Seeing Ronaldo like this, Sun Yi couldn't help but worry.

"I hope Ronaldo won't be swayed by emotions today. Today, our team needs his help. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of this unscathed."

As an S-level star, Ronaldo can be said to be Sun Yi's only reliance in this game today.

Real Madrid is indeed a real super giant. Even if Ronaldo left, their strength is still above Southampton.

Sun Yi sent out the best formation of Southampton today. Kaka, Balotelli and others all played.

But Southampton's strength is still at a disadvantage.

Thanks to the presence of Ronaldo, Southampton has the strongest striker in this game.

But Real Madrid is not bad on the striker. The trident composed of Bale, Benzema and Asensio is also very competitive.

With Modric plus Casemiro and Kroos, this configuration makes Real Madrid's midfield the world's top configuration. This is obviously not comparable to Southampton's midfield composed of A+ and A-level players.

In terms of defense, although Southampton has S-level Van Dijk, Real Madrid also has S-level Ramos. In addition, they also have A+ players such as Marcelo, Nacho, and Carvajal.

The defense of Real Madrid is definitely the best in the world. Southampton is still a little bit inferior to it.

And the goalkeeper is also very different.

Casillas was once very strong, and Sun Yi estimated that he could reach S level. However, he is only A level now.

Real Madrid sent Courtois, who has A+ level strength, today.

From the comparison of the strength of the two teams, it is easy to judge that Real Madrid is still obviously stronger than Southampton. Especially in the midfield and backcourt.

The only advantage of Southampton is that it has Cristiano Ronaldo's forward line.

However, Sun Yi has no idea whether this forward line can bring surprises to Southampton today.

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

"Real Madrid, must win!"

Amid the fanatical shouts of Real Madrid fans, Real Madrid took advantage of the home advantage and launched an attack without trial.

Today, Solari arranged a 433 formation. What he wanted was to attack.

Under Modric's organization, the offensive launched by Real Madrid was very fierce.

Looking at the momentum, there was a strong momentum to knock Southampton to death with a direct blow.

Today, Bale was also very excited. He was rarely healthy, and he was also very active after the opening.

He was once bought to Real Madrid as Ronaldo's successor. But for so many years, he has always lived under Ronaldo's shadow. He can't get away.

Now, it's okay.

Ronaldo left and went to today's opponent Southampton.

This is a great opportunity for Bale to prove himself.

In order to prove himself, Bale began to show his strongest feature - speed after getting the opportunity.

In the first wave of offensive, Bale performed a play that once amazed countless people - overtaking on the outside lane.

He first broke through Paulinho's interception near the midfield, and then relied on speed to force Bertrand from the outside lane.

If Van Dijk hadn't blocked in time from the back, Bale might have taken the opportunity to break through Southampton's goal.

Although Bale's final shot was blocked by Van Dijk in time, all Real Madrid fans stood up excitedly and applauded him.

Bale's performance this time not only showed his strong offensive desire, but also expressed the belief that Real Madrid must win today.

In addition, Bale's long run also won Real Madrid the first corner kick opportunity of the game.

The next corner kick opportunity was headed by Ramos.

Fortunately, he didn't hit the right spot and missed the goal.

Sun Yi couldn't help licking his lips.

Damn, two shots in the first wave of attack.

What a powerful blow!
