Extraordinary coach

An unwilling draw was used by Sun Yi to relieve the psychological pressure of the players.

It can be regarded as turning disadvantages into advantages.

In this way, the battle for the top spot between Southampton and Manchester City came to an end.

After leaving Manchester, Southampton quickly let go of the game.

However, the impact of this game on the outside world has not ended.

"Great, Manchester City. They successfully blocked Southampton and broke Southampton's winning streak."

"And judging from this game, Manchester City performed very well."

"If Southampton hadn't scored the first goal, Manchester City would have been fully capable of winning this game."

"The most amazing thing is Guardiola's use of players. It was he who sent Sane to allow Manchester City to score a goal. His substitution was a stroke of genius."

"This substitution is enough to prove Guardiola's superb on-the-spot command ability. If it was China's Sun Lai, he would have surrendered long ago..."

"..."

After the game, many people analyzed the game in a very professional manner. Constantly digging out the highlights of the game.

Of course, the most important thing is to analyze how to fight Southampton.

So Guardiola received a lot of praise.

And Guardiola himself couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the outside world praising him.

'Uh~ Am I so good in this game? ’

No matter what the outside world thinks about this game, or even what they think about it, it doesn’t make any sense to Sun Yi and his Southampton team.

Because he hasn’t paid attention to all kinds of comments from the outside world for a long time. No matter it’s flattering or derogatory, he doesn’t care.

What he cares about most is that the Christmas game is so offensive to him.

Playing four games in just ten days is simply a torture to the human body.

Not only to the human body, but also to the spirit.

Such a dense schedule means that Sun Yi’s brain will never have a moment’s rest.

Except for sleeping, his brain is running at high speed every day.

The devil’s schedule squeezes the body and mind of football practitioners, so that he can’t even pay his public grain properly when Juanjuan finally comes here.

And after only two days of rest, Southampton ushered in the next game.

What comforts Sun Yi is that this game is Southampton’s home game. There is no need to travel to other places.

At the same time, because this is a League Cup game, it is not so important, so there is no need to be too nervous.

This is the quarterfinals of the English League Cup. The opponent is Bournemouth.

Although Bournemouth is a Premier League team, it is also a relatively easy opponent for Southampton.

In terms of strength, Southampton can definitely crush the opponent.

However, due to the continuous battles with Tottenham and Manchester City, Southampton has also consumed a lot of energy.

Especially the main players such as Ronaldo are very tired.

Such a reality made Sun Yi decide to let the main players have a good rest in this game against Bournemouth.

So, in this quarterfinal of the English League Cup, Southampton played completely with a substitute lineup.

Although it is a substitute lineup, Southampton's lineup is still very strong.

Whether it is Rebic, Golovin, or Prowse, they can all be the absolute main players in other teams.

And thanks to the rest of the main players, Wei Shihao also got the opportunity to play.

However, his strength is not ranked in the team after all. No matter how much Sun Yi opens the back door for him, he can only let him play as a substitute.

Wei Shihao's performance in this game was OK. In the nearly 30 minutes he played as a substitute, he was considered to have received a qualified score.

And the result of this game was not surprising. Southampton won the game smoothly.

It was just that they didn't win much, only a small victory of one goal.

In any case, it was a good thing to be promoted. It was still worth being happy.

The only thing that made Sun Yi a little depressed was that Bertrand, who started the game, was injured.

Damn!

Although Bertrand's position could be completely replaced by Sarr. But his injury caused a shortage of people in the left back position of Southampton.

And the situation of someone getting injured is not a good sign.

Often, once someone is injured, others will follow.

Because this situation generally indicates that the team has entered a period of fatigue.

This forced Sun Yi to pay more attention to the physical condition of the players.

And no matter how much Sun Yi cares, he can't let the Christmas schedule end.

After only two or three days of rest, they ushered in another game.

This time it was the 21st round of the Premier League. It was also the last match of the Christmas schedule.

Since the time between the two matches was too short and the opponent was only Crystal Palace, in order to ensure the health of the main players, Sun Yi decided to let the main players rest again in this match.

So, the substitutes had another chance.

However, before the game came, Southampton injured another player.

And this time it was Romeu, who was the main player. He accidentally sprained his foot during training. He had to rest for at least two weeks.

Romeu was also a model worker and iron man of the team. Sun Yi coached Southampton for so long, and this was the first time he was injured.

With his injury, Sun Yi had to let Bednarek, a 23-year-old defender with only A-level strength, directly switch to a defensive midfielder.

Bednarek is only of A-level strength, and can hold up in general games. If he encounters a strong enemy, he may become the team's weakness.

Sun Yi also had to start considering using the 433 formation more.

Of course, these are all things for the next game.

In the next game against Crystal Palace, Bednarek was originally arranged by Sun Yi as the starting midfielder.

In the game against Crystal Palace, I don't know if Bednarek was stimulated by Romeu's injury, but he was very active.

Not only did he do a good job in defense in the game, but he also used his 189cm height to score a header in the game.

Such a performance made Sun Yi's eyes light up and he applauded Bednarek.

And this game also started with Bednarek's goal, allowing Southampton to win the game smoothly at home.

The game was successfully won with a group of substitutes, and there were no more injuries. Sun Yi was very pleased.

And the end of this game is the end of the Christmas schedule.

Southampton has achieved three wins and one draw during this period, which is also a very good record.

Everyone can rest assured for a few days.

When the game ended, Sun Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Huh~ Nima's Christmas schedule! It's finally over."

"Finally, I can rest. The team can finally take a few days off!"
