Extraordinary coach

Eliminate Wolves and advance to the FA Cup. This is what everyone expected.

This did not cause much response.

The outside world has only one evaluation of this result: normal operation.

The result is indeed normal operation.

But as the party involved, Sun Yi felt that this game was more difficult than he thought. Southampton suffered more than expected.

Fortunately, Southampton will return to St. Mary's Stadium to play next, and the opponent is also the Bournemouth team, which is much weaker in strength.

The current Bournemouth team has basically succeeded in relegation. And they don't have the strength to go to the next level. In short, this is an opponent with no desire.

Encountering such an opponent is a good opportunity for Southampton to play health football and actively recover.

Except for a few main players who need to adjust their status, Sun Yi is basically prepared to deal with it with substitute players.

Thanks to the strength of the bench players, Southampton relied on most of the substitute players to successfully win the game. And surprisingly, they won 5:0.

Such a big win is undoubtedly great news for Southampton.

It is also a very good sign.

Due to the upcoming schedule, this game should be said to be Southampton's last relaxation this season.

Next, they will officially enter the final sprint stage.

There are only five rounds left in the Premier League.

Moreover, what awaits Southampton will be the most critical and difficult stage of this season: three consecutive games against Premier League strong opponents.

At the same time, the Champions League has also reached the time when they need to start sprinting.

Before starting the three-game Premier League finals, Southampton will also start the Champions League quarterfinals.

And Southampton's Champions League quarterfinal opponent is Ajax from the Eredivisie.

The Eredivisie sounds like it can't be compared with the Premier League, one of the five major leagues.

But Ajax is a frequent visitor in the Champions League, and its reputation is actually no worse than that of Arsenal and other teams worldwide.

After Sun Yi learned about the information of Ajax in detail, he found that his understanding of this team was still insufficient.

In fact, Ajax is also a very powerful team.

This team has won four Champions League titles in history. In addition, they have won three European Super Cup titles and two Europa League titles.

Although these honors have a long history, they are undoubtedly a European-level giant.

Such a well-established opponent will definitely be very difficult to deal with.

In fact, this is not the first time Sun Yi has faced the Ajax team.

When he led the Nice team, they had met in the Europa League.

At that time, the Ajax team was still too immature and far less amazing than it is now. So, it was Sun Yi's Nice team that won the victory.

After Sun Yi carefully studied the current situation of the Ajax team, he immediately realized that this was a strong enemy. And it was much stronger than two years ago!

In the previous Champions League round of 16, the Ajax team eliminated the Juventus team, whose strength should not be underestimated.

Sun Yi studied the game and soon found that Ajax was a team full of passion and capable of creating all possibilities.

This team is very young, but it has a vitality that even Sun Yi can't help but envy.

Being young, they may lack experience in the game. But once they are in good shape and feel good, it is more terrifying than the old hands like Real Madrid.

"This is a strong opponent that needs to be taken seriously!"

"We will be overturned by them if we are not careful."

"We need to go all out. And face them in the strongest state."

After analyzing the situation of the Ajax youth team, Sun Yi told the players in this way.

Speaking of confidence and morale. After defeating Real Madrid, Sun Yi no longer needs to motivate.

What Sun Yi really needs to do is to raise the attitude of the Southampton team.

In addition to telling the players this internally, Sun Yi also spoke highly of the Ajax team when facing the media reporters outside.

"This is a young and energetic team."

"With energy, there is the possibility of creating everything."

"Against Ajax, I think our team needs to respond with all our strength!"

These words show how much Sun Yi values ​​Ajax.

And Ajax is also very confident.

Their head coach Eric also seemed very confident when facing media interviews.

"We are a young team. At the same time, we are a group of warriors."

"Youth has no limits. We not only have a future, but also have the ability to beat anyone."

"Come on, I believe my guys will surprise the world."

In addition to Eric, the players of Ajax also showed a very confident attitude.

Their offensive core Ziyech said: "Southampton's defense is very good. There are also players like Van Dijk who are considered to be the best central defenders in the future. But I think they still can't stop me and my teammates from attacking!"

"I will use goals to help the team win!"

In addition, their defensive core De Ligt is also very confident.

"Some people say that Southampton has the best central defender."

"I think I am the best centre-back."

"In this game, I will prove it by defending Ronaldo."

"Come on. Southampton team, I and my teammates will let you hit a castle made of steel. You will smash your head in front of our defense. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Balot Li. You won't have a chance."

"..."

In addition to these two core players, other people on the Ajax team also made a lot of comments to the outside world. But it all shows that they have the determination and ability to defeat Southampton.

All right. Young people are indeed energetic. The spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers is undoubtedly revealed. Almost piercing the screen.

After hearing the words of the Ajax players, Sun Yi had to say: "Young people really have ambition."

The Southampton players were not to be outdone after hearing this.

Especially Van Dijk, who was named one after another, was also aroused to be competitive.

"These kids are very challenging! Come on, I will let you understand that you are still too young. There is still a long way to go."

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was named and provoked by De Ligt, showed a faint smile.

“These young people are very enterprising!”

"I want to say that the future is yours."

"But now, it's still mine!"
