Extraordinary coach

Chapter 481 Advance to the Champions League quarterfinals

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal broke the deadlock on the field and put Tottenham in a desperate situation.

Tottenham could only attack desperately next.

But there was not much time left for Tottenham.

This lag made Pochettino upset. He could no longer continue to stick to the tactics centered on Son Heung-min. He could only shout at Tottenham to press forward and attack.

Kane had already played. In this case, long-term habits made Tottenham subconsciously pick up the tactics centered on Kane.

This is the most natural choice for people under tension.

But Sun Yi prepared before the game to deal with this.

This change of Tottenham also hit Sun Yi's heart.

After Southampton adjusted to the tactics at the beginning of the game, Tottenham no longer had any hope of equalizing. Even the performance was worse than before.

In the end, Tottenham was powerless to turn the tide.

Southampton beat Tottenham by one goal at home.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Pochettino looked unwilling and helpless.

"Why don't I have a Ronaldo in my hand?"

This game was the closest Pochettino felt to defeating Sun Yi in the past two years.

If it weren't for Ronaldo, Tottenham could take away a point from St. Mary's Stadium even if they couldn't win.

Even if they could only take away one point, it would be a huge success.

So far this season, only Manchester City has taken points from St. Mary's Stadium.

Unfortunately, they still lost in the final stage. They lost to Ronaldo, a super player.

Pochettino was really unwilling.

But no matter how unwilling he was, the game was lost.

He could only leave with a defeat helplessly.

However, before leaving, Pochettino still left a sentence.

"Sun, our competition is not over yet. I will wait for you at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!"

In this way, Pochettino left with Tottenham very unwillingly.

"Finally won this tough battle!"

Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was only a little bit easier.

There are still many difficulties waiting for him. The next few games will also be tough battles.

However, Sun Yi has not waited for the tough battle, but has waited for bad news.

After the tough battle with Tottenham, Pulisic was found to have a recurrence of his old injury after the game. Next, he will rest for a month.

At such a critical moment, Pulisic cannot play, which will weaken the strength of the Southampton team.

This has a great impact on the Southampton team.

"I copied!"

Sun Yi immediately wanted to use the "Rejuvenation" that he had just obtained not long ago for Pulisic.

It was only after learning that Pulisic's injury was not a serious injury that would affect his career that Sun Yi held back.

In addition, Southampton's bench is deep enough now. Pulisic is injured, and Logovin and Prowse can take over.

This allows Southampton to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness.

After a few days of rest, Southampton ushered in another important game.

Their second round with Ajax.

"We will go to Southampton to get back what we lost in Amsterdam."

"We will never let the same opponent laugh at us for the second time."

"St. Mary's, here we come!!!"

With the fire of revenge and the pride of never bowing their heads, the young Ajax team stepped into the St. Mary's Stadium.

"Being young is good! Always so vigorous. Never give up easily after falling down."

Looking at the high-spirited Ajax team, Dio was quite emotional. He originally thought that after losing the first round, Ajax would definitely be demoralized when they came to St. Mary's Stadium.

"Yes! But let them fall down again and it will be over."

Sun Yi is still confident that he can win the game at home.

He doesn't believe that with two away goals in hand, Southampton can still let the cooked duck fly away.

Compared with Ajax, Sun Yi actually attaches more importance to the next Premier League game.

And for the next Premier League game, Sun Yi decided to let the main players rest in this game.

In addition to letting the main defensive players such as Van Dijk and Pavard stand by on the bench, offensive players like Ronaldo were not included in the game list.

In other words, Sun Yi used all substitutes to play against Ajax.

"Southampton, are you looking down on us?"

Seeing that none of Ronaldo and others were in the starting lineup, De Ligt and others were very dissatisfied and felt offended.

"You dare to look down on us like this. Good! I'll just kill you."

"Eliminate you, and then let you cry!"

After the game started, the angry Ajax team desperately attacked Southampton. Completely forgetting that this was Southampton's home court.

And not long after, De Ligt and others found that they seemed to have underestimated Southampton's substitutes.

Although Southampton's substitutes are indeed not as good as Ronaldo and others. But their performance is not worse than Ajax.

Taking advantage of the home court, Southampton, who played with all substitutes, also played well and did not lose the game at all.

This situation made the game evenly matched.

Ajax tried desperately to suppress Southampton. But they failed to do so throughout the first half.

After returning to the locker room with a score of 0:0.

Ajax had to reflect.

They began to understand that even if Southampton played with all substitutes, they could not easily defeat them.

This discovery hit De Ligt and others.

It was okay that Ronaldo and others could not win, but it was really depressing that they could not even get substitutes.

Depressed as it was, Ajax also recognized the facts. Especially the reality that they were still two goals behind.

After the start of the second half, Ajax launched a more crazy attack.

They had to score at least two goals to keep their hopes of advancing.

But they soon discovered that Southampton had adjusted its tactics and turned it into a defensive counterattack.

This was intentional by Sun Yi, targeting the objective reality that Ajax had to attack desperately.

Then, Ajax began to be depressed.

Under the targeted defense of Southampton, they attacked desperately, but always returned without success.

However, Ajax's fighting spirit was also amazing. They kept fighting hard.

God will not let down those who work hard.

With their desperate efforts, they actually broke through the Southampton team's goal.

The goal boosted their morale. They attacked crazily.

However, Southampton's substitutes were not vegetarians either.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Ajax's massive defense, Prowse scored a goal in a defensive counterattack.

This time, the game returned to the previous situation.

What was even more unexpected was that Southampton's goal hit Ajax's confidence.

Those young people's confidence was greatly dampened, and they became more impatient.

Then they lost their order.

The more chaotic, the more anxious, and the more anxious, the worse they played.

Later, Ajax not only failed to score again, but was almost counterattacked by Prowse again.

In the end, until the end of the game, Ajax failed to score again.

In this way, although they drew at St. Mary's Stadium, they lost to Southampton in the total score.

Ajax's young team with unlimited potential was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

De Ligt and others couldn't help crying.

Then they were even more depressed.

Because in the handshake session after the game, the Southampton players said to them again:

"The future is yours!"
