Extraordinary coach

"That Felix is ​​really good. With such a performance."

"It's a pity that Wei Shihao didn't play. Otherwise, he shouldn't be worse than him."

"I don't know why Sun Yi didn't give Wei Shihao a chance? For an opponent like Burnley, there is nothing to worry about if Wei Shihao plays."

"..."

After getting off to a great start, most domestic fans were not very satisfied.

They expressed their disappointment on the Internet that they didn't see Wei Shihao play.

After being disappointed, domestic fans also began to make requests to Sun Yi through media reporters.

"Next is the European Super Cup. I hope to see Wei Shihao play in the game."

"Not starting, but a substitute is fine."

"Sun Yi is Chinese, so he has to give his own people some opportunities, right?"

"This is the European Super Cup. If Wei Shihao can play, it will create history for the Chinese."

"I hope Sun Yi won't let us down!"

Domestic fans are really eager to see Wei Shihao play in the upcoming European Super Cup.

Domestic fans really think that it is reasonable for Sun Yi to let Wei Shihao play in the European Super Cup.

And the request of domestic fans even alarmed Southampton's owner Katharina Liebherr.

Katharina Liebherr actually called Sun Yi and told him that considering the wishes of Chinese fans, it can be fully satisfied.

But Sun Yi refused with regret.

Southampton has too many people to consider. In such an important game as the European Super Cup, Sun Yi does not want to chill the hearts of Golovin, Prowse and others because of Wei Shihao.

"Football speaks with strength."

Sun Yi firmly believes in this, and he will never violate this principle and open a back door for Wei Shihao.

Katharina Liebherr is worried that not giving Wei Shihao a chance to play will affect Chinese fans' views on Southampton.

"Wei is a star that Chinese fans love very much. If we don't let him play, we will lose a lot of fans."

Sun Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Wrong. I am the most beloved Chinese star by Chinese fans. With me here, Chinese fans are Southampton fans."

Hearing Sun Yi's insistence, Katharina Liebherr didn't know what to say.

Later, when the European Super Cup match day was approaching, Sun Yi announced the roster for the match.

As he told the female boss, Wei Shihao's name was not on the list.

This inevitably disappointed Wei Shihao. But Sun Yi saw Golovin and Prowse, the rotation players, showing satisfied smiles.

This made Sun Yi determined that his choice was correct.

And I don't know who leaked it, but the outside world soon knew that Wei Shihao would not appear in the European Super Cup.

The European media didn't say anything. But the domestic media was a little shocked.

Many domestic fans and even the media didn't understand why Sun Yi didn't open the door for Wei Shihao.

"Why? We are all Chinese. Why can't we give Wei Shihao a chance?"

"With Sun Yi's prestige in Southampton, if he wants to give Wei Shihao a chance, no one dares to say anything."

"If you don't even give your own people a chance, what's the point of Wei Shihao going to Southampton?"

"Does Sun Yi look down on Chinese players?"

"..."

The domestic reaction was very strong and far exceeded Sun Yi's expectations.

In addition to not understanding, there were actually a lot of comments that bombarded Sun Yi.

Even many domestic reporters who specialize in Southampton news expressed doubts about Sun Yi.

When Sun Yi held a pre-match press conference for the European Super Cup, there were actually Chinese reporters who questioned Sun Yi on the spot.

Sun Yi really didn't expect that there would be such a big reaction in China. But he will not violate his principles because of the pressure from public opinion.

"What I want to say is that I am the head coach of Southampton, not the head coach of the Chinese team."

"In my team, there is no distinction between insiders and outsiders. There are only players who belong to the Southampton team."

"In my team, every player will have the opportunity they deserve. I will not take care of you just because you are Chinese. I will not ignore you just because you are from the UK or any other country."

"As long as you have the ability, as long as you show more competitiveness than others in training, you will get a chance."

"So, all Southampton players, please impress me with your performance in training first!"

"Finally, let me say one more thing here. In my team, there is no distinction between relatives and strangers, and there will be no small teams."

Sun Yi's clear statement has completely made his attitude clear.

And his words are irrefutable. It is really hard to say what the fans who originally said that he did not take care of his own people said.

You can't say that he must be partial to Chinese players, right?

After Sun Yi said this, it was recognized by many media.

Many people in China are also reflecting on why they have to give their own people a backdoor? Aren’t many Chinese players harmed by the backdoor?

Moreover, Sun Yi’s current achievements are entirely achieved by himself and the players of the Southampton team.

Not being partial is the basis for him to do all this.

After Sun Yi said these words, domestic public opinion calmed down a bit.

And soon, the European Super Cup came.

For the European Super Cup, Sun Yi was actually very relaxed.

Because the opponent was the old rival Chelsea.

Although Chelsea is still a major rival of Southampton in the Premier League. But this season, they lost their offensive core Hazard to Real Madrid.

In addition, they also lost their main defender David Luiz.

In terms of signings, so far, they have not made any major moves except for spending 45 million euros to buy Kovacic.

In this way, there is no doubt that Chelsea is definitely not as good as before.

When it came to the European Super Cup, Sun Yi found that it was indeed the case.

Although Chelsea is still a strong presence in the Premier League, it has weakened a lot.

In the first two seasons, with Hazard, Southampton did not have much trouble playing Chelsea, let alone now.

At the beginning of the game, the all-out Southampton team quickly took the advantage and took the lead.

Less than 60 minutes into the second half, Southampton had already made the game less suspenseful.

After that, Sun Yi simply let Ronaldo and others who had made contributions come down to rest. Then let Felix, Golovin and others go up to participate.

There were almost no twists and turns and challenges. Southampton easily won the game with 3:0.

Southampton also won the European Super Cup.

"Yeah! Six crowns achieved!"
