Extraordinary coach

Chapter 205 The Contest Begins

What does it have to do with me if Mathilde is single again?

Sun Yi was speechless after hearing Mourinho's words.

It seems that Mourinho not only wants him to be his younger brother, but also wants to be his father-in-law.

But Sun Yi really doesn't like Mourinho's daughter. She is really not his type. And the two of them don't get along.

But when Sun Yi turned around, he found that Mathilde's eyes seemed a little wrong when they met this time.

Mathilde used to look at him with disdain, but now it seems a bit like the way Juanjuan looks at herself.

Oh my god!

Sun Yi immediately smiled and said, "Hey, it's great to see your family living in harmony. It's a pity that my girlfriend is in China and can't come for the time being. I really envy you."

Sun Yi's words have fully expressed his attitude.

Mourinho was not only a little disappointed. So he quickly changed the subject.

"This world is really wonderful. We worked together a year ago, but now we have become opponents."

"Yes. I really didn't expect there would be such a day." Sun Yi was very emotional.

"Although I have a good relationship with you, I won't let you down on the field." Mourinho said with a smile.

"Then come on. You have to be careful too. My subordinates are all young guys, very impactful." Sun Yi also said with a smile.

"Haha. We are much more experienced. If you lose, don't say I bullied you." Mourinho said confidently.

"If you lose, you can't bear a grudge in your heart!" Sun Yi also said confidently.

"Haha, then let's go all out to present a wonderful game for the fans!"

~~~~~~

Sun Yi and Mourinho had a dinner together after he led the Nice team to Sweden.

Given their relationship, it would be unreasonable if they didn't meet and get together. And it would be better to get together before the game.

If they meet after the game, the winner is decided, and the loser meets again, it will be embarrassing.

So, Sun Yi was drinking and talking with Mourinho while the outside world was still trying to hype up the feud between him and Mourinho.

After meeting Mourinho for dinner and expressing his attitude, Sun Yi then devoted himself to the team's preparations.

As the game approached, to be honest, Sun Yi was a little nervous.

This time, it can be said that he met the opponent who understood each other the most.

Such a contest is destined to be a head-on confrontation of wits and courage. It is about hard power, the players' on-the-spot performance and state.

Sun Yi understood that he really had no advantage this time. Even in terms of tactics, he would not have an advantage.

At the same time, the outside world's feud with Mourinho has become more and more heated. Many people are therefore very interested in this game. They want to see the feud between him and Mourinho.

If there is a grudge, there is bound to be a scene, which will undoubtedly make the game more interesting.

Soon, it was the day of the game.

The venue of the game is the Friendship Stadium in Solna, Sweden. This is a neutral venue.

And because of the name of this stadium, many people find it very interesting.

"Playing a game destined to break friendship at the Friendship Stadium. It's all very wonderful!"

"I have to say that this Europa League final should be the most talked-about game in the past ten years."

"Soon we will see the two bus drivers acting crazy. It's exciting to think about it."

"Will they fight each other as soon as they meet when they enter the stadium next time?"

In the expectation of everyone, Sun Yi and Mourinho both walked into the Solna Friendship Stadium with their respective teams.

As soon as they met, they smiled and shook hands and gave a deep hug.

"It's about to start, are you ready?"

"Of course. I've been ready for a long time, and I will surprise you today."

"Haha. I also prepared a surprise for you."

"Oh, that's really exciting."

After the two chatted for a while, they returned to their respective teams with smiles.

Notice that when the two separated, they had relaxed and happy smiles on their faces, which disappointed those who believed that the two had turned against each other. However, many people think this is just superficial.

"This should be a superficial appearance. Don't be fooled by their smiling faces. They must be mad at you in their hearts."

"Besides, when they hugged and talked just now, it might have been a very intense verbal confrontation."

After thinking about it, everyone's attention shifted to the upcoming game.

Martin Taylor, the commentator sent by Sky Sports to the scene, and the guest Allardyce began to discuss it.

Martin Taylor said: "Before the game, many people had already made predictions about this game."

"As many as 70% of football people think that the result of this game is not Mourinho and Manchester United win, it is very likely to be a final nod to decide the winner."

Allardyce said: "And the football lottery companies are relatively optimistic about Mourinho. For example, the odds opened by the bookmaker are that Manchester United will give Nice 0.5 goals."

"In addition, many people outside think that the two teams are likely to stage a good show of parking the bus today."

"Allardyce, do you think this is possible?"

"Yes. I personally think so. In terms of strength, Nice will have a better advantage in defensive counterattacks. And Manchester United, my old rival Mourinho, what else can he do besides parking the bus?"

"So, Allardyce, who do you think will have a better chance of winning this game?" Martin Taylor asked.

Allardyce said without hesitation: "Of course it's Mourinho. Although I have never gotten along with him in the Premier League. But I think Mourinho has more advantages in terms of experience in this kind of competition and the strength of the team."

"I also heard that Sun learned his coaching ability from Mourinho. I don't think a master will lose to an apprentice."

"That's true." Martin Taylor nodded, and then continued: "We have got the starting lineups of both sides in this game."

"For Manchester United, the starting lineup is Rashford, Mata, Fellaini... and others. The substitutes are Rooney, Martial... The formation is 4231."

Allardyce said: "4231, it is obvious that Mourinho is going to play a defensive counterattack again this time."

Martin Taylor followed with an introduction: "For Nice, the starting lineup is Salah, Balotelli, Adriano... The substitute is Reece Milo... Sun also arranged a 4231 formation."

Allardyce laughed. "That's right. Both of them are in 4231 formation. Although not 541, they are definitely playing defensive counterattack. Counterattack vs. counterattack, haha. God knows how it will play out."

Martin Taylor said: "I am more surprised that Adriano started again today. With him on the field, the chances of winning are hard to say."

Allardyce said indifferently: "Adriano is nothing special. He is at most a center forward at the same level as Balotelli. In today's game, I believe he will be the same as in the last French League Cup, and will not do anything big."

"That being said, as long as he is on the field, he is a deterrent. No one knows when he will explode. And he really makes people have some expectations. I always feel that he will be very different today." Martin Taylor said thoughtfully.

"Haha. You think too much. Others may be able to do it. Today, the coach of Nice's opponent is Mourinho. He is best at defense and freezing the opponent's core players."

"..."

While Martin Taylor and Allardyce were discussing, both teams completed their pre-match warm-up.

"The warm-up is over, and after the entrance ceremony, this game that everyone is paying close attention to will start soon."

The players from both sides first returned to the locker room, and then lined up to enter the Solna Friendship Stadium amid the applause of tens of thousands of people.

"Come on, Nice!"

Today, Nice fans came as much as they could, completely occupying half of the stands. Among them, the players' relatives and friends and some team celebrities came to cheer for them.

What made Sun Yi feel a little regretful was that there were no relatives and friends in the stands. Old Xie and Old Liang were too busy with their own careers to come. And Juanjuan hadn't had a holiday yet, so she couldn't come to Sweden. However, Juanjuan told Sun Yi that she would watch the live broadcast on TV.

Although he was not there in person, Sun Yi felt full of energy knowing that Juanjuan was supporting him from afar.

"Manchester United, must win! We will be the treble winners." The Red Devils fans on Manchester United's side were much more domineering than Nice fans. They shouted for victory and the treble.

What is the treble? A team with a strong foundation like Manchester United has already won it. The fans are naturally more confident.

"Beep." With a whistle.

The game started with the loud shouts of fans from both sides.

The first kick-off right belonged to Manchester United.

After the kick-off, Manchester United did not pass the ball back, but Rashford rushed forward with the ball. At the same time, Mata, Fellaini, Pogba and others also quickly followed forward.

Rashford soon met Nice's midfielder Tamez, and he rushed over with a dunk. Although he did not completely get rid of him, Tamez failed to stop him this time. And because other people on Manchester United were following up quickly, no one dared to come and join Tamez in attacking Rashford.

When the defenders were able to rush over to intercept, Rashdev took the lead and took a long shot against Tamez.

"Bang!"

This long shot was of high quality.

Although it missed the goal in the end, it also caused a burst of "Wow!" from the fans.

"Hey, Manchester United gives people a very different feeling today. In the opening, the first shot was made in less than half a minute." Martin Taylor said in surprise.

Even Allardyce was quite surprised. "It seems that Manchester United's desire to attack today is stronger than before."

"It's up to Nice next."

Soon, Nice served the ball.

Although Nice took the ball from the backcourt, they started attacking as soon as they served the ball.

After taking the ball, the full-back Pereira immediately passed it to Salah. After Salah took the ball, he made a fake pass and chose to break through. Then he kept galloping forward.

Salah rushed so fast and resolutely that Manchester United's left-back Damian could only run to the backcourt in parallel and could not get close to interfere.

This allowed Salah to run straight to the end line, then he made a sudden stop and dribbled the ball, then calmly kicked the ball to the middle.

In the middle, Balotelli had already made a forward pass, but Adriano failed to follow up this time.

Unfortunately, Balotelli failed to head the ball under the double pressure of Smalling and Blind. After the ball slipped through, it went directly out of the goal.

Unfortunately, Nice's first attack failed to form a shot.

However, this attack was quite threatening. If Balotelli hit it, with his current strength as the ‘black bomber’, there was at least a 50% chance of him scoring.

Therefore, no one thought that Nice’s attack was a failure.

The determination and speed of Nice’s attack also surprised Martin Taylor. “Wow. Nice was unexpectedly fierce this time. Although they failed to attack, the threat was also great. It seems that Nice’s desire to attack today is also very strong. Judging from the opening attack of the two teams, are they not going to park the bus?”

“It is possible.” Allardyce nodded. But he didn’t want to admit that he had made a wrong judgment. “However, this is just the beginning. We have to wait and see what tactics and strategies the two sides will use today.”

And then, Manchester United quickly served the ball and launched an attack almost without stopping.

But after Manchester United’s attack ended, when it was Nice’s turn, Nice also launched an attack very resolutely.

At this point, everyone understood what was going on between the two sides in this game.

"Oh my god! There was no bus parking. Sun and Mourinho did not park the bus today."

"In just three minutes, both sides have completed four attacks."

"Both sides' offensive attitudes are very determined. It can be seen that there is a strong desire to attack."

"Perhaps it can be said that there is no bus parking today, and both sides are playing against each other." Martin Taylor shouted excitedly.

"Really~really unexpected!" Allardyce also had to admit that, judging from the current situation, Nice and Manchester United are playing against each other, not the expected bus parking competition.

And seeing this situation, the fans of both sides are the happiest. As a fan, what I like to see most is a hearty offensive battle.

"Okay, that's it. Attack, attack again. Let the Manchester United people see how fierce our Nice team's offensive frenzy is."

"Go! This is the Manchester United team we want. Who said that our Manchester United team can only play defensive counterattacks? Today, let everyone see that our Manchester United team can also attack, attack, and attack again."

In just a few minutes, the entire Solna Friendship Stadium entered a high atmosphere. The game on the field also entered a fierce offensive battle from the beginning.

As the game continued, everyone was sure that the two teams were really playing against each other.

On the sidelines, watching the situation on the field, Sun Yi's eyes flashed. Then he turned his head to look next door, and Mourinho happened to look over.

The two people's eyes intertwined. Smiles also appeared on their faces.

How about it? Surprise, right?

Haha. I didn't expect that I also prepared offensive tactics, right?
