Extraordinary coach

"Or not!"

Sun Yi frowned again. The real-time data from the field of view was telling him clearly. His countermeasures were not enough.

His adjustment is just that the Nice team's situation is slightly better. It does not change the overall nature of being less than human.

what to do?

Sun Yi couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

He has put Nice's best players on board. But with the overall strength disadvantage, relying solely on current tactics and strategies cannot reverse the situation.

"Sun, we can't bear it in the middle. We have to find a way." Dio reminded.

"I know. There's just not much we can do."

"I think we may have two ways to go, one is to use offense instead of defense; the other is to completely retreat." Diaw put forward his own opinion.

"Hmm~" Sun Yi nodded in thought. He also thought of these two, but he was a little undecided. Of these two paths, one is too passive and the other is too gambling.

"What do you think?" Sun Yi wanted to hear Dior's opinion.

"I prefer to retreat completely. Defend first and then think of ways to solve other problems." Dior is quite cautious. His choices are very similar to his character.

"Okay." Sun Yi nodded in agreement this time.

Following Sun Yi, he immediately came to the technical area and shouted to the court: "Give up the No. 2 tactic. From now on, switch to the No. 1 tactic."

The Nice team quickly followed Sun Yi's instructions and retreated across the half-court. Except for Balotelli, who was still hovering near the midline, everyone else shrunk further.

Previously, the Nice team implemented the No. 2 tactic with relatively balanced offense and defense. Now after switching to the No. 1 tactic, although their formation is still 4231, after further shrinking, the formation is basically the same as 451.

In this way, the Nice team's midfield and backfield strength becomes very sufficient. The intensity of defense has also been strengthened.

The Lyon team uses a 4511 formation. Due to this change by the Nice team, their midfield and frontcourt no longer have the advantage. Moreover, it also made the defense force somewhat wasted, while the frontcourt was tightly held back. In particular, Fekir and Tolisso, who had high hopes, lost their space to perform.

This immediately neutralized the threat of Lyon team invisibly.

The situation reflected from the perspective of the stadium immediately made Sun Yi secretly relieved.

"Great! We have taken the initiative. We have already beaten them." After seeing the Nice team all retreat to half-time, the Lyon team's assistant coach said happily.

"..." Bruno Genesio did not agree with this, but pondered.

After a while, Bruno Genesio discovered that although Lyon seemed to have pressed Nice in the half, the real threat did not increase as a result. The reality is not what it seems on the surface.

"We're not creating more of a threat."

"This is only temporary. Judging from the current situation, it is still more beneficial to us. Maybe after a while, we will be able to score." The assistant coach seemed very confident in the Lyon team.

"hope so……"

The game on the field continued. It looked like Lyon had a great advantage, but the goal did not appear.

Until forty minutes passed in the first half, no one showed up.

"No. It's not that we suppressed the opponent. It was the opponent who took the initiative to shrink." Seeing that the goal has not appeared for a long time. Only then did Bruno Genesio discover the essence of the game on the field.

Unfortunately, Bruno Genesio made this discovery a little late. With only a few minutes left in the first half, there was no need to adjust.

It didn't take long for the first half of the game to end with the referee's whistle. The two sides played 0:0.

This score is still barely acceptable.

But after returning to the locker room, Sun Yi fell into deep thought.

To be honest, the situation in the first half did not satisfy him. Although his subsequent adjustments effectively responded to the Lyon team, they did not achieve the effect he wanted.

After the Nice team changed to the No. 1 tactic, the defense was stable, but they could not counterattack quickly. The occasional offensive opportunities did not pose much of a threat to Lyon.

"It's not possible to continue to defend like this in the first half. We have to find a way."

"Just what to do?"

The situation now facing Sun Yi is very clear, that is, the Nice team has enough defense and insufficient offense. If you want to change the passive situation, you must strengthen your offense. Just to strengthen the offense, we cannot weaken the defense too much, otherwise it will become the same situation in the early part of the first half.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yi had a plan in mind.

After he cleared his throat, he came to the tactical board and said to the players: "In the second half, we changed the formation. We changed to 442."

"442? Sun, this way, we will have space in the middle." Diaw did not agree with this adjustment.

"It's not a diamond position, it's a normal parallel 442." Sun Yi explained. Knowing that the opponent's midfielder is so strong, still standing in the diamond shape in the midfielder is no different from surrendering. He can't be that stupid.

"The tactics remain the same, but long passes are added. Players in the backcourt will directly pass long passes to find the forwards whenever they have the opportunity. This time, we will play English football."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he turned around and continued to talk to Dong Fangzhuo.

"Also, Xiaodong, you will come on stage later. Partner with Balotelli. Both of you, run for me. Run as fast as you can for me."

"Okay. I understand." Dong Fangzhuo responded excitedly.

"This is our adjustment for the second half. Now everyone is ready. In the second half, I look forward to your victory!"

These adjustments are the countermeasures Sun Yi came up with, long passes and goals. The purpose is to increase the offensive power while stabilizing the defense line.

The Lyon team has three central defenders, and Balotelli alone cannot take advantage. He added Dong Fangzhuo and used two forwards to deal with three central defenders, and the firepower immediately increased.

Don't underestimate Dong Fangzhuo, just use his speed now. Don't forget, he was once hailed as the successor of '***', but he was very fast.

After a short rest, the players left the locker room and returned to the court.

After coming out of the locker room, Sun Yi met Bruno Genesio in the player tunnel. The two nodded politely.

Bruno Genesio was calm and had a smile on his face.

Sun Yi saw a sense of confidence that everything was under control in Bruno Genesio's smile.

This is a confident and sophisticated opponent!

Sun Yi commented in his heart. In the first half of the game, he could see the commanding skills of his opponent. I have to say, it’s really strong. Keep him passive.

However, Sun Yi did not feel inferior mentally because of this. He looked at the unconcealed confidence on Bruno Genesio's face, and a calm and confident smile appeared on his face.

"Do you think the victory is in your grasp? In the second half, I used long passes to challenge. I want to see who can have the last laugh!"
