Extraordinary coach

After Southampton's comeback, there was still a lot of time left in the game.

But Pochettino had completely given up hope for this game.

Once Southampton took the lead, they would never give anyone else any chance, even if it was just to tie the game.

Pochettino didn't say it, but he had said to himself in his heart: "We've lost this game!"

"There's still hope. There's still time in the game, we can do it. Even if we can't win, we might be able to tie."

Tottenham fans didn't want to give up so easily.

But the morale of the Tottenham players on the field had already dropped to the bottom.

They felt completely different from the fans. The fans might think that as long as they persisted, they would have a chance.

But after playing against Southampton for most of the game, after making such efforts and doing their best, they still couldn't keep the score.

They were really frustrated.

And the next ten or twenty minutes of the game also proved this point.

Southampton completely suppressed Tottenham. Whether it was the momentum or the situation, Southampton had an almost absolute advantage.

Even if Tottenham tried to cheer up, this idea would soon be shattered.

So, the final outcome was just as Pochettino expected when he went overtime. Tottenham lost.

"Yeah! We won, we finally won!!!"

At the end of the game, all the Southampton fans cheered loudly.

Hearing the word "finally", Sun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It had been a long time since he had the feeling of "finally" winning a game.

This made him have a new understanding of Pochettino. For the first time, he felt that Pochettino was a formidable enemy that could not be underestimated.

From now on, the importance of Pochettino in Sun Yi's heart has been raised to the same level as Guardiola and Klopp.

At the same time, Sun Yi felt that he had been a little too proud recently, otherwise he would not have almost capsized. He decided to review the game carefully after returning.

However, winning is always a happy thing.

In the interview after the game, Sun Yi did not avoid the mistakes he made in the first half. He also generously praised the performance of Tottenham.

It seems that it should be worth being happy to be recognized and praised by the opponent.

But Pochettino was not happy at all. The reporters and media said that he commanded this game well. Tottenham lost by only one goal at St. Mary's Stadium, which was definitely a glorious defeat.

But Pochettino said: "I don't want to be glorious in defeat. Losing is losing, there is nothing to say."

To be honest. Pochettino was very unwilling to lose this game.

He had a chance to win but lost, which really made him feel more uncomfortable than having no chance at all.

"Ah! This game, I am unwilling to lose!!!!"

When the away bus left the stadium, someone heard this sentence from the bus.

The departure of Pochettino and Tottenham represents the end of a game.

But Southampton is far from being able to relax.

Because this is just a prelude to the start of the evil Christmas schedule.

To be honest, Sun Yi really doesn't like the Christmas schedule. When almost the entire European football world is on holiday, only the Premier League has games. And it's a devilish schedule.

This is really unacceptable to Sun Yi as a coach.

Sun Yi really wants to take this opportunity to rest for a few days like coaches in other leagues. Let the players also get a chance to recover. Instead of the opposite, let the players' bodies suffer more.

Unfortunately, this is the tradition of the Premier League. No matter how much Sun Yi dislikes it, he can't let the English Football Association change this arrangement.

With the arrival of Christmas, Sun Yi can only lead the Southampton team to prepare for the next game.

The next game is really crucial for Southampton.

Because the opponent is Manchester City.

And this game with Manchester City is a little different from the others.

You must know that this game is the 19th round of the Premier League, which is the last game of the first half, and will decide the champion of the first half.

It also means that after this round, it is the beginning of the more inseparable second half.

Since this game will be played at Manchester City's home ground, it will be very challenging for Southampton.

In the eyes of many people, this game will be the key to determine whether Manchester City has a chance to compete with Southampton for the championship.

If Manchester City does not do anything in this game, it is probably difficult to expect them to shake Southampton's road to defending the title this season.

It can be said that this battle is the one that determines the fate of Manchester City this season.

A game that combines the Christmas schedule, the half-time championship, and the top battle is definitely the battle of the century that the whole world is watching.

"A battle of the century that determines the trend of the Premier League championship is coming."

"Who will win this crucial game? Is it the Southampton team that is like a king? Or the Manchester City team that is always eager for the championship? Let's wait and see!"

Before the game started, almost all the media in the world were already building momentum for this game.

Compared with the Southampton team, which already has the dominance, many neutral football people actually support Manchester City more.

They hope someone can challenge Southampton and stop Southampton's amazing winning streak.

After defeating Tottenham, Southampton has won 30 games in a row in all competitions.

This is a really scary winning streak.

Many people really hope to see Southampton's winning streak end. Even taste the first defeat of the season.

After all, it is too scary to let Southampton continue like this.

How will other teams survive in the future?

As for whether Manchester City can defeat Southampton. Many people are still more confident this time.

"This time, Manchester City is still likely to beat Southampton. Because they have many favorable factors."

"The first favorable factor for Manchester City is playing at home. The second is that Sane has recovered from injury and is getting better and better. The third is that Manchester City's running-in is much better than during the Community Shield, and Cancelo has already integrated into the team. The fourth is that Southampton has also shown signs of decline. Tottenham almost took away the victory at St. Mary's Stadium, which is a clear proof."

"From these internal and external factors, Manchester City's chances of winning are still very high."

"Coupled with Manchester City's desire for victory and obsession with the championship, they will definitely go all out to win."

"I believe this time Manchester City will get what they want."

Guardiola also said: "I don't want to be defeated with honor. I just want to win."
