Extraordinary coach

"It's my fault!"

At the post-game summary meeting, Sun Yi took the responsibility on himself.

"It's because I didn't adjust everyone's competitive status well."

"It's me who didn't let everyone play to the level they should have."

"The main responsibility for this draw lies with me."

Hearing that Sun Yi once again took the responsibility on himself, the players were moved from the bottom of their hearts, but felt that this could not be done.

Whoever has the responsibility belongs to him, we can't always let the boss shoulder it for us, right?

"The main responsibility is mine. I took the most shots, but I didn't score." Ronaldo stood up and accepted the responsibility.

"I am also responsible. My performance was a bit sluggish." Balotelli also stood up.

"I also have a responsibility..."

"I also have a responsibility..."

Van Dijk stood up, followed by Paulinho.

Later, Pulisic, Felix and others also stood up and said that they were responsible.

Even goalkeeper Casillas stood up with his hands raised.

"Ahem~ Casillas, you~" Sun Yi was speechless.

Why do you, a goalkeeper, come up to take responsibility for not scoring?

Do you feel that you are responsible for not being scored?

"And that Romeu, look at the suit you're wearing, what's your responsibility?"

Sun Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

D.

We have to take responsibility for all of this, and naturally we have no responsibility.

However, Sun Yi is somewhat relieved that the players can stand up and admit their responsibility.

At least this shows that the players have recognized their problems.

With this understanding, it will be easier to solve problems later.

"Everyone is like this. I guess they know what the problem is."

"Actually, I know that everyone is still working very hard. It's just that for a while, everyone can't get excited in that kind of mental state. In other words, they can't be tight."

"But, it doesn't matter. If everyone has this attitude, we will definitely be able to return to the game state we were in before our vacation."

"Next, we have the semi-finals of the EFL Cup."

"This game is more critical and important. Everyone must prepare wholeheartedly for the game. When the game comes, we must show our true strength."

Although the next game is only for the EFL Cup, the semi-finals are naturally more important.

And the opponents are relatively strong.

This time their semi-final opponent is Manchester United.

After a summary meeting in which they took responsibility for themselves, the Southampton team began to have some changes in their mental outlook. Sun Yi found that everyone became more active during training.

This change is a good sign.

After a few days of preparation, Sun Yi led the Southampton team into Old Trafford.

Without Pogba, the strength of the Manchester United team has declined. His performance this season has been relatively average.

More than half a season has passed, and Manchester United has struggled to compete in the top five.

However, given the current situation of Southampton, Sun Yi dare not say that he can securely win over Manchester United.

And because Southampton has drawn two games in a row, Manchester United has more confidence and morale than before.

"Southampton has drawn two games in a row. It shows that their recent form is very poor."

"Our recent form is pretty good. Here at Old Trafford, we don't say we want to beat them, but we should still be able to keep home."

With their own different thoughts, the two sides soon started the game.

After the game started, the Manchester United team indeed seemed to have high morale.

Whether it's offense or defense, they are very active.

What surprised Sun Yi even more was that although the Manchester United team without Pogba was weaker on paper, its overall performance was better.

The Southampton team also performed more actively than in the previous game.

Although the players' condition is still relatively average, at least they can see a better attitude.

Only with attitude can there be hope for the game.

As the game progressed, Southampton found the feeling of the game more and more.

This made Southampton's performance better, and it also began to create murderous opportunities.

Especially Ronaldo, he was obviously more active than in the previous game. And this positivity also gave him many opportunities.

However, he still failed to score.

This made Sun Yi couldn't help but touch his forehead.

"Nah, I almost forgot, it will take a week for the effect of not being able to shoot."

Seeing Ronaldo's depressed performance, Sun Yi was also helpless.

After all, Ronaldo is Southampton's top scorer. Since he joined the team, he has become the team's top scorer.

His shots failed to score many times, which greatly affected the Southampton team's power.

His failure to score has also affected the entire Southampton team, making the team's overall offensive efficiency very poor.

This situation also prevented Southampton from scoring in the entire first half.

In the end, they could only score 0-0 in the first half with Manchester United.

After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi could only find a way to comfort Ronaldo.

For the sake of the team, Sun Yi asked Ronaldo to shoot less and pass more in the second half. When you don't feel like shooting, give more opportunities to your teammates.

After the second half of the game started, Ronaldo listened to Sun Yi's words and began to pass more passes to his teammates.

When he has a chance, he is willing to give it to his teammates as long as it is not particularly good.

Ronaldo's approach greatly improved Southampton's offense and created a greater threat than in the first half.

It's a pity that other people are also less than ideal in seizing opportunities.

This gave Southampton a chance, but they could only create threats but not score.

Fortunately, Southampton's offense couldn't find the feeling, but the defense was relatively stable.

This made Manchester United try to score one by taking advantage of their home court advantage, but they were blocked.

Because of this, both sides failed to score for a long time.

After seventy minutes of the game and the physical fitness of both sides dropped significantly, many people thought it would be a draw again.

For a draw, Manchester United, which is not too ambitious, is still acceptable.

But Southampton can't.

Another draw would be three draws in a row. This is such a confidence buster.

"We can't tie, we must score."

"Work hard, we have to win this game."

The Southampton players felt that it would be another draw and it was unacceptable. Started to be more active.

"Okay. It's finally tight."

Seeing the situation of the players on the field, Sun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid of the players being anxious or nervous, he is just afraid that the players will become Buddhist towards the game.

Now, the players are really anxious.

After watching the players start to work harder to score goals, Sun Yi couldn't help but smile.

As long as the players can have this emotion, even if the game ends up being a draw, it will still be worth it.

But the players gave Sun Yi a surprise.

Stimulated by the desire to score, Southampton unexpectedly broke through Manchester United's goal at the end of the game.

This gave Southampton a surprise victory over Manchester United.
