Extraordinary coach

"The 16th round of the Champions League!"

"Poor Real Madrid. After losing Cristiano Ronaldo, I didn't expect it to fall to such a level!"

"This year, Real Madrid will lose all four major titles!!"

"..."

As soon as the match between Southampton and Real Madrid ended, the outside world began to mock Real Madrid.

And this mockery was not made up.

In the La Liga Super Cup at the beginning of the season, they lost to Atletico Madrid.

Before Southampton's second round of the Champions League round of 16, they had just been eliminated by Barcelona in the King's Cup.

Although there are still seven or eight rounds of La Liga, they have no hope at all given the reality that they are 20 points behind Barcelona.

Therefore, after being eliminated by Southampton in the Champions League, Real Madrid no longer has any championship to hope for.

As soon as the Champions League match was lost, the top management of Real Madrid announced that head coach Solari was fired before the next day.

After seeing Solari's end and Real Madrid's failure to win anything this season, Sun Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"The Galaxy Battleship has completely crashed! That Real Madrid team no longer exists."

And what Sun Yi sighed most was that he buried Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo with his own hands.

It can be said that Real Madrid's Champions League journey this time was killed by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Thinking of the fact that Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles had Cristiano Ronaldo's contribution that could not be ignored, Sun Yi had to say:

"Real Madrid, success is Cristiano Ronaldo, failure is Cristiano Ronaldo!"

So far, the feud between Southampton and Real Madrid has come to an end.

The Real Madrid team in Sun Yi's mind has completely become a thing of the past.

When he meets Real Madrid again in the future, it will be just an ordinary opponent in Sun Yi's mind.

Since everything was expected, and there was no suspense in winning. Sun Yi was too lazy to be happy about this game for a long time.

He quickly put his attention back to the Premier League.

Southampton is too close to Liverpool and Manchester City in points. In comparison, the competition in the Premier League is even more intense than the Champions League.

In the Premier League, even a draw is fatal.

Because of this, Sun Yi must pay more attention to every game in the Premier League.

In fact, in the next month, Southampton's Premier League schedule is still quite favorable. Because there will be no strong teams during this period. They are basically mid-to-lower-level teams.

It may be more difficult to play in the FA Cup when encountering relegation teams.

And then, Southampton will soon usher in the 30th round of the Premier League.

Because the opponent is Wolves, who have a lot of gaps in strength, and Southampton has the advantage of home court, there is no suspense in the game.

Three points are easily obtained.

Next, Southampton will have to play a game in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

The opponent is Crystal Palace.

Sun Yi easily won at home with half of the main players.

After the FA Cup, Southampton returned to the Premier League schedule.

Later, they played two Premier League games in a row.

They played Watford in the 31st round and Brighton in the 32nd round.

Given the strength of these two teams, Sun Yi would not play more than half of the main players in each game.

But even so, Southampton still won these two games easily. And they won by a large score.

Such a result made Sun Yi very satisfied.

It was Liverpool and Manchester City who did not drop the chain, so that everyone still maintained the previous ranking.

After two rounds of Premier League games, the FA Cup game followed.

This time, compared with the last FA Cup game, Sun Yi paid more attention to it.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, the teams at this point are not easy to deal with.

This year's FA Cup is more upset than in the past. There are many dark horses that have upset the opponent.

Southampton's opponent in the semi-finals is the Wolves, who had just been beaten by them.

And in the other semi-final, there is a team like Brighton, which has basically been declared relegated.

Because of this situation, people have long said that this year's FA Cup final has been set in advance. Southampton will be the first team to enter the final.

Let alone the players, Sun Yi also thinks so.

Since last season, he has always been an opponent that he can kill with one hand, and there will not be too much suspense.

However, although he is confident that there is no suspense, when it comes to the real game, Sun Yi does not despise it at all.

Someone once said: Strategically despise the opponent, tactically pay attention to the opponent.

Sun Yi did this. He sent a normal main lineup in this game.

After the game started, Sun Yi found that he was right to pay attention to the opponent tactically.

Don't look at the Wolves' strength and Southampton's level. Not long ago, they were beaten by Southampton. But this time, the fighting spirit shown by Wolves on the field was very different.

Positive, tenacious, hardworking, and not giving up easily. All these spirits were well demonstrated by Wolves.

Due to the strength, Southampton scored a goal early in the first half by Balotelli.

But falling behind did not crush the morale of the Wolves. Instead, they became more aggressive and aggressive. They kept trying to equalize the score.

After the start of the second half, Southampton soon scored another goal.

With two goals in hand, the game is usually stable. The weaker side will mostly lose confidence and morale.

But the Wolves surprisingly did not give up.

With their extremely tenacious fighting spirit, the Wolves even launched a crazy attack on Southampton.

Not only did they desperately want to attack, but they also launched a crazy pressing throughout the game.

The performance of the Wolves brought a lot of pressure to Southampton for a while.

It was not until Southampton once again took advantage of the loopholes in the Wolves' defense to score the third goal that the Wolves reluctantly accepted the reality.

Although they admitted defeat, the Wolves did not completely give up resistance after that. They just knew that there was no hope of a reversal. When they should fight, grab and defend, they are still very active.

In the end, despite the huge gap in strength, Wolves lost to Southampton 0-3.

Southampton successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.

However, the spirit shown by Wolves in this game made Sun Yi couldn't help but praise it.

"They played with the spirit of wolves."

"This is an opponent worthy of respect."

"It is also an object we need to learn from in terms of spirit!"
