Extraordinary coach

Chapter 208 Falling behind. ‘Okay.’

Adriano continued to stay on the field.

Dio wanted to object as soon as he heard it. But he had to give up when he saw Sun Yi's resolute look.

Even Dio was silent, so naturally no one else would come out to oppose Sun Yi.

And Adriano was very surprised. But his eyes flashed a few times, and he said: "Boss, how about me~"

Sun Yi raised his hand to stop him, then patted his shoulder, and then turned to the others and said: "In the first half, everyone performed well. It completely achieved the effect I wanted."

"However, entering the second half, that is the beginning of the real decisive battle. We need to make some changes..."

On the Nice team side, Sun Yi was talking about the arrangements for the second half.

In the Manchester United locker room, Mourinho's voice with a hint of anger echoed.

"I am very dissatisfied with the performance in the first half. Some individuals did not play according to the requirements of the coaching staff. I hope that in the second half, all the players on the field will play according to my requirements. Otherwise, no matter who you are, I will let you go."

Mourinho did not name Xin, but everyone knew who he was talking about. Everyone turned to look at Pogba.

Pogba looked gloomy and obviously did not look very happy.

Mourinho ignored the players' reactions and continued: "In the first half, we took the initiative on the field. This is good. It's just that the ability to seize opportunities is very problematic."

"In the second half, I hope this problem can be solved. I don't want to play a penalty shootout with them."

Everyone nodded.

Mourinho continued.

"I believe. In the second half, they will definitely make adjustments. Adriano is likely to be replaced. But don't worry. They don't have better candidates. Unlike us, there are so many excellent players."

"Haha." The last words made the players smile knowingly.

"Therefore, no matter who we replace, our defensive focus is Salah and Balotelli. If we strangle these two, they will not threaten our defense."

"Of course, the most important thing for us is offense. As long as we solve the offensive problem, the championship will definitely be ours."

"In the second half, we need to adjust our offense and focus on the two wingers. We can kick more high balls..."

The halftime break ended quickly, and both sides began to leave the locker room and return to the field.

"Boss, how about I come down? My condition today is really too bad. I don't want to drag the team down." Adriano was the last one to come, and he took the opportunity to say to Sun Yi.

"Don't think too much. I believe in you." Sun Yi patted Adriano's shoulder with a trusting look. Then, he also tidied the captain's armband on Adriano's arm. After tidying it up, he smiled.

"Boss, I~I~" Adriano looked at Sun Yi's trusting smile, and felt warm in his heart, and was very moved.

"Okay. Let's go. I'm still waiting to see you score. I believe in you and you won't let me down."

"Yeah!" Adriano wanted to say something, but Sun Yi had already walked in front. He just nodded heavily and hurried to catch up.

When Sun Yi returned to the bench, Mourinho saw the smile on his face. He frowned immediately.

"This confident smile~" Mourinho was too familiar with it.

"Wait, I figured it out. So you did it on purpose. No wonder you are so confident now." Mourinho suddenly thought that the first half of the game was probably Sun Yi's intention. Before, he had always attributed the reason for not scoring a goal to Pogba carrying the ball too much and delaying the opportunity.

"No wonder, I always felt that we had the upper hand in the first half, and it was too easy. That's it."

Mourinho was quite surprised to figure this out. However, he didn't care more. Because he was fully prepared for this game. He also made great efforts to study the Nice team carefully. He is very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of Nice.

Mourinho is actually most worried about the attacking formation composed of Adriano, Balotelli and Salah. He has watched the French League Cup final between Nice and Paris Saint-Germain and knows that it is one of the top attacking formations in the world. Even stronger than Manchester United.

The reason why he is unwilling to park the bus is because he is afraid of the super attacking ability of this attacking formation.

The only surprise for him is that Adriano is in a very bad state today. This makes all Mourinho's concerns disappear. He is full of great confidence in winning the final victory of this game.

Sun, you are very good. You are so strong that I am surprised. It's a pity that your team is a little weak. Without a good hand of cards, no matter how superb your card skills are, it's useless.

Maybe this is fate.

In time, when you coach a big team, I may have to avoid your edge.

After Mourinho felt sorry for Sun Yi in his heart, he sat on the bench with a confident smile on his face.

At this time, the players on both sides of the field also set up their positions to start the game.

"Hey, Adriano hasn't been substituted yet? Isn't he allowed to be substituted?" Mourinho unexpectedly found that Adriano was still on the field on the Nice team.

It was not until the second half of the game started with the referee's whistle that Mourinho confirmed that Adriano was really left on the field.

"This shouldn't be. Sun can't be unaware of the problem? Could it be that he deliberately gave in to me? Impossible, with his personality, it's impossible. I don't need him to give in."

"You insist on keeping Adriano on the field. Is it because you are sure that he will have a big explosion in the second half? Is it just a possibility?" Mourinho was very close to the truth, but he didn't believe it was possible at all.

Others also saw this situation. The fans of the Nice team began to murmur.

"What's going on? Why not replace Adriano? He played so badly today, why keep him on the field?"

"What the hell is Sun doing? This is obviously the biggest problem on the field today. Didn't he find it?"

"Impossible. Sun must know the situation. But why did he keep Adriano on the field?"

"Could it be that~ he deliberately let Mourinho go?" The fans of the Nice team thought of a situation they didn't dare to think of. But after thinking about it, they couldn't help but have this doubt about the situation on the field.

Manchester United didn't think too much when they saw this situation. In addition to thinking that Sun Yi was a bit undeserving of his reputation, they were actually very happy to see it happen.

"Haha, no substitutions. That's great. This is good for us."

The field has already kicked off. Nice, which had the first ball in the second half, also organized an offensive.

This time, Nice organized an offensive resolutely and patiently. And successfully attacked Manchester United within 30 meters.

However, the last pass failed to form a shot. The target of Nice's last pass was Adriano, who was not heavily guarded. However, Adriano, who was a little clumsy, not only delayed the timing of the shot, but also had the ball intercepted by Blind from his feet.

This scene caused Manchester United fans to laugh.

But it made Nice fans angry.

"Substitution. Substitution quickly."

"Such a rubbish performance, why are you still staying on the court?"

Everyone on the Nice bench looked at Sun Yi. However, Sun Yi did not say anything and still looked at the court calmly. This could not help but make people a little disappointed.

"Hey. Why don't you want to admit your mistakes?" Mourinho looked at Adriano, who was frustrated on the court, and shook his head. He was sure that Adriano would not have any good performance in this game.

Adriano's performance really disappointed his teammates. This has begun to affect their mood. But Sun Yi did not replace Adriano, and they had no choice.

The game continued. Nice's failed attack boosted Manchester United's confidence and morale. Then they started to attack according to Mourinho's instructions during the halftime break.

After the midfield adjustment, Manchester United's attack was obviously more sharp than the last game. And Pogba also passed the ball faster.

Manchester United's first attack in the second half was very threatening and formed a shot. Although it did not go in, it gave Manchester United great confidence.

Soon, the offense and defense changed. But Nice's next attack was also ineffective. This time it was not because of Adriano. The teammates on the field no longer trusted Adriano and did not pass the ball to him. But the others were taken care of, and they were not much better.

After several consecutive attacks and defenses, Nice began to fall into a disadvantage again. This time it was not deliberately arranged by Sun Yi.

This made Nice have to start to worry. Dio, Dong Fangzhuo and others were already worried. Only Sun Yi was still very calm.

Dio wanted to say something several times, but he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly when he saw Sun Yi's look.

Sun Yi naturally knew everyone's emotions, but he couldn't tell others where his confidence came from.

However, just when Sun Yi was distressed that he couldn't explain to his partners, an accident happened on the field.

Manchester United was organizing an offensive. Pogba, who became more decisive, made a long pass to the front near the midfield to find Rashford.

But Sarr missed the ball when defending. This gave Rashford a chance to face the goalkeeper directly. And Sarr showed the disadvantage of being too young at this time. He actually knocked Rashford down when he broke into the penalty area and was about to kick.

"Beep!" The whistle sounded immediately.

The referee ran over and raised the red card to Sarr without hesitation.

Red card, and a penalty kick.

Red dot package.

"Oh! No!"

The wailing sounded instantly. Sun Yi couldn't help but slap his thigh hard.

"Red Dot Set. It's over."

There were constant groans beside him, which made Sun Yi upset.

"God bless. This ball must not go in!" Sun Yi had no choice but to pray secretly.

This situation was too unexpected. It was not what he had imagined at all.

Soon, Rashford, who created the Red Dot Set, took the penalty kick himself. He easily sent the ball into the goal of the Nice team.

0-1, Nice team fell behind.

"Ah~ We are in big trouble now. Not only are we behind, but we are also one man short."

"How could this happen? The game was really too embarrassing. We were at a disadvantage from the beginning and had no power to fight back!"

"The championship may not belong to us."

Nice fans were a little frustrated. They began to feel that the Europa League championship was getting further and further away from Nice.

"Sun, what should we do? How about a substitution?" Dio said anxiously.

To be honest, Sun Yi began to feel anxious and nervous when such an unexpected situation occurred, but he pretended not to show it.

Sun Yi shook his head. He knew what Dio meant, that he wanted to replace Adriano with a defender. This was a normal response.

However, today was the final. This response was not a good choice when we were behind.

"Brother, we really have to change people. The situation is too bad now." Dong Fangzhuo also said.

Sun Yi still shook his head. "Let me calm down and think about the countermeasures first."

At this point, Sun Yi's first task was to calm down and think about the countermeasures.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yi did not come up with a very good solution. At the same time, he did not agree with Dio's proposal.

Alas, it seems that we can only put our hopes on Adriano. Hope it will come soon.

However, before that, Sun Yi still needs to respond to the situation on the field.

"Run. Everyone, run."

"We are one man short now. We must run to make up for the difference in numbers."

"There is still a lot of time left in the game, don't give up. We still have a chance. For the championship, for the fans present, and for yourselves. Come on!"

Sun Yi came to the sidelines and shouted hoarsely. He rarely does this, and the above words are obviously mixed with his anxiety.

"Sun, this is anxious. I know him, he rarely does this in the game. He is usually very calm and calm. Even makes people feel cold. I didn't expect that he would be like this today." Martin Taylor said with emotion.

"This should be Sun's own fault. It is obvious today that he made a huge mistake. Especially in the use of Adriano. He should have been replaced long ago. But Sun kept him on the court. This is completely undesirable. It can only be said that he was overwhelmed by the achievements in front of him. He was too confident. He was even unwilling to admit that he would make mistakes." Allardyce shook his head and said.

"Yes. Sun Yi made a fatal mistake in using Adriano today." The current situation also forced Martin Taylor to agree with what Allardyce said.

"Next, what Sun Yi has to do is to make substitutions and adjustments quickly. Otherwise, Nice will lose this game." Allardyce continued.

"Yes."

Many people have the same judgment as Allardyce. Mourinho is like this. He even hopes that Sun Yi can make adjustments immediately. He doesn't want Sun Yi to make mistakes again and again, and then lose too badly.

But judging from the situation, Sun Yi currently has no intention of replacing Adriano.

"Too stubborn."

The game on the field continued, and Nice, which was behind and one man short, undoubtedly fell into a huge disadvantage. Instead, Manchester United launched a fierce attack on Nice with great momentum, hoping to completely defeat Nice with one blow.

Manchester United launched an offensive again.

The situation was very good, and the strong confidence made Pogba show off again. After he got the ball, he saw Adriano coming to defend him, so he decided to break through.

As a result, it was very successful.

Pogba, who has never been known for his dribbling, easily passed Adriano and made the latter very embarrassed.

"Yeah, well done. It's like a monkey show." This caused a burst of joy from Manchester United fans.

"Hey! Replace him." The Nice team naturally sighed. Many people also felt very embarrassed.

Dio looked at Sun Yi helplessly, ready to strongly persuade him. Unexpectedly, he saw Sun Yi shouted excitedly: "Okay. Finally here."
