Extraordinary coach

Speaking of young people and the future, there are actually many in the Southampton team. People like Pulisic, Joe Gomez, Arnold, and Golovin are all very young.

Therefore, the power of young players is also very important in the Southampton team.

But in the eyes of many people, Southampton has never been considered a youth team.

Some people even subconsciously regard Southampton as an older team. It was once said to be a retirement team.

This is probably caused by Sun Yi's frequent use of people like Kaka and Adriano.

Having said that, the ones who are more popular in the Southampton team are really the older ones. Whether it is Kaka or Adriano, even Ronaldo is considered an older player.

But it is these young veterans who often burst out with amazing performances in the hands of Sun Yi. This makes most people think that Southampton is supported by a group of old people.

In fact, seriously speaking, the age structure of the Southampton team should be the most reasonable. There are three generations of main players, old, middle and young, and the proportion is also very suitable.

However, compared with Ajax, whose main lineup is only about 24 years old on average, Southampton is indeed older.

And the world generally prefers young people.

Seeing the young Ajax team against Southampton, many people will subconsciously lean towards Ajax from the bottom of their hearts.

"Come on, young army! Let the whole world see the power of youth."

"Youth represents the future and countless possibilities."

"Looking at this group of young Ajax people who are full of vigor and vitality, how can people not like and support them?"

"I want to see young people advance. Seeing them, who represent the future, top the Champions League! That will be a story of the century."

"Really, I can't wait to see what these young people can do."

"..."

In addition to Southampton's diehard fans, most of the more neutral fans clearly favor Ajax in this game.

Many media reporters are also building momentum for Ajax. The comments of De Ligt and others are also considered to be proof of their enterprising spirit.

Some media even asked Sun Yi about these remarks. "Sun, what do you think of these young people? Do you agree that they represent the future?"

I don't know what these people are thinking when they ask this.

Sun Yi felt speechless. However, he still expressed his opinion.

"Yes, young people are the future. There are many in our team, such as Golovin, Pulisic and others."

"As for Kaka, Ronaldo and others. They were young and were said to be the future. Now is their time."

"But Kaka, Ronaldo and others will grow old one day. And judging from the situation, this will not be a long time. Forgive me, I am a more honest person. What can we do then?"

"Well. This is indeed a problem. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Kaka, Ronaldo and others are indeed not that young anymore. They will definitely retire in the future. There will naturally be players who will take over their class."

"I am quite optimistic about De Jong and De Ligt. I think they have the potential. If they are interested, I welcome them to consider coming to Southampton when the transfer window opens next season."

"Here in Southampton, they can become the future Kaka, Ronaldo and Van Dijk. I also welcome the young talents of other teams to play for Southampton."

Sun Yi didn't know why the media asked such boring questions. He simply used it to recruit young players for Southampton.

Seeing that Sun Yi did a flawless job, the media, who always like to do good things, had to give up the idea of ​​provoking. So as not to give free advertising to Sun Yi and Southampton.

Not being able to provoke anything from Sun Yi, the media had to turn to continue to build momentum for Ajax.

There was no pre-match disturbance, and Sun Yi successfully led the Southampton team to complete pre-match preparations such as walking on the field and adapting in Amsterdam.

Soon, this highly anticipated game came as scheduled.

The weather was good on the day of the game.

There was a breeze and no rain, and the temperature of 15 or 16 degrees was very suitable for the game.

Although the temperature was still a little cold for the fans, it could not stop their enthusiasm.

Especially the enthusiasm of the Southampton fans could not be stopped. Even across the strait could not stop their determination to follow Southampton to the Netherlands.

The arrival of a large number of Southampton fans made the city of Amsterdam more lively than before. The Amsterdam Arena, which can accommodate 51,628 people, was also packed.

What was even more speechless was that the stands that were supposed to be the home stadium actually had some Southampton fans.

This made people sweat for these brave guys.

"Youth has no limits, the future is in our hands!"

The fans of the Ajax team were also very enthusiastic today and pulled out such a banner.

The number of Southampton fans was less than that of the opponent due to the away restrictions, but they were not to be outdone and put up a banner that said "It belongs to us now".

Combined with the words of the players of both sides before the game, this was obviously aimed at each other. Coupled with the slogans of both sides, the game immediately had the taste of a battle before it even started.

In this situation, Sun Yi led the Southampton team into the Amsterdam Stadium.

Feeling the exciting atmosphere of the stadium, Sun Yi felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

"Amsterdam, here I come! I'm here to conquer you with my team!"

Sun Yi swooped Ajax's head coach Eric, and they had never met since then, so naturally there was no grudge. The two shook hands politely and didn't say much.

But when the players were shaking hands, they were more verbal.

The young De Ligt really looked fearless. "C Ronaldo, welcome to Amsterdam. But today I will freeze you."

"Van Dijk, today I will let everyone know that I am the best defender."

For the young man's almost provocative words, both Ronaldo and Van Dijk smiled without saying a word. It's just that there is more seriousness under their eyes.

After the handshake, Ronaldo smiled and said to Van Dijk: "It seems that we have to teach the young people a lesson today."

"Yes, we have to let them see their position clearly."

"Then, let these young people see the true strength of us old guys!!"
