Extraordinary coach

Whether Southampton bought Rebic or Golovin before, they only spent a few million pounds. This was just a small deal in everyone's eyes.

But spending 25 million pounds to buy Pulisic is no small deal. It is a big transfer.

25 million pounds is indeed not a big deal in the current Premier League. But the key is that this money was spent on an 18-year-old child, which is very different.

"Oh my God! When did Southampton become rich? Or does it have a mine at home? They can spend 25 million to buy an 18-year-old child."

"It turns out that Southampton is still rich. This is a rare big brush for them in the past few years."

"I said it. They actually invited Sun Lai to be the head coach. Naturally, it can't be the same as before."

Before, the players bought by Southampton only cost a few million. Now they suddenly spent a lot of money to buy a child. The contrast before and after is really too big. Many people couldn't help but start shouting that Southampton had a lot of money at home.

Because in the past, only Barcelona and Real Madrid were willing to spend so much money to buy a young player.

"Southampton has really started to spend money to buy people. What big moves will they make next? It's really exciting."

"They must have sufficient funds. It seems that they are not just joking about buying Firmino. They are serious."

"Next, it is very likely that Southampton will really work hard to operate Firmino's transfer."

"Liverpool may not be able to withstand the next financial offensive this time. Maybe the news of letting Firmino leave will appear soon."

"Guess, what will Firmino's final transfer fee be?"

"70 million? 80 million? Even 100 million?..."

Seeing that Southampton was rich on a child, the outside world speculated that they had sufficient funds. Therefore, they began to look forward to the completion of Firmino's transfer.

But then. What the outside world heard was the news that Southampton withdrew the offer for Firmino.

This disappointed those who were curious about the transfer. But they couldn't help but speculate that Southampton might be planning a bigger transfer by doing this.

But as the second round of the Premier League began, there was no news that Southampton was contacting a big-name player. Everyone temporarily focused on the game.

Southampton's opponent in the second round was the Hammers West Ham United.

In recent seasons, West Ham United's performance was pretty good, and it was basically on par with Southampton. Therefore, West Ham United's strength is still very good. At least, Southampton is not qualified to underestimate the Hammers.

Because Sun Yi's main energy during this period was involved in the signings, he still couldn't invest too much in training. This made Southampton unable to implement his tactical system at present.

Sun Yi had no choice but to let Southampton face this game according to the old system. The main lineup was still the same.

Sun Yi did not arrange for the newly bought players to play. Just let the first few people who came in enter the substitute list.

Players like Pulisic and Golovin who just arrived did not even enter the substitute list. Sun Yi plans to gradually arrange them to play after a period of joint training.

Sun Yi's biggest problem at present is that he has been in the team for too short a time. He dare not easily transform Southampton. He believes that to really start to transform the team, it is necessary to complete the urgently needed signings before starting.

Fortunately, the advantage of Southampton in this game is that they are still playing at home.

And the outside world and fans also think that Southampton has a higher chance of winning this game because of the home game.

But the result turned out to be a dull draw.

West Ham United had no way to deal with Southampton's solid defense. But Southampton's offense was also somewhat unsatisfactory. In the end, it could only be played 0:0.

A draw, one point, is actually not too bad. But this is Southampton's home ground after all, and everyone's expectations for Sun Yi made many fans dissatisfied with this game.

"Hey, we played like this in our own home ground. It's really disappointing that we couldn't beat our opponents."

"This is the second game since Sun coached the team. But there are still no more changes. And didn't Sun buy three offensive players recently? What is he doing when he spent so much money but didn't let them play?"

Many fans are not very satisfied. However, many people still think this is understandable.

"After all, Sun has only taken over for a short time, and he didn't even prepare for the pre-season. One win and one draw in two games, this is already very good. We should give him more time, and I believe he won't let us down."

"Those new players also need time to run in. Everyone should be patient."

Some fans understand, and some are not very satisfied. This is indeed a lot of pressure for Sun Yi, who joined with great momentum before.

The team's top management didn't say anything. This made Sun Yi quite surprised and satisfied.

"It seems that we still need to confirm the lineup as soon as possible. Then we will train the team with all our strength."

"Oh, it would be great if Dio was here. I wouldn't have to be so busy!"

Time waits for no one, and Sun Yi knows he has to speed up.

So, the day after the game, Sun Yi took action. He sent Rodriguez, a striker with little potential, to West Bromwich Albion in exchange for 12.33 million pounds.

Next, Sun Yi quickly sent away another striker, Sean Long.

Seeing that Sun Yi sent away two strikers in a row, the outside world thought that he was preparing for the big-name strikers who would come next. They all got excited.

"Wow. Sun sent away two strikers at once, which is definitely to make room and prepare funds. It seems that the next one will definitely be a blockbuster transfer. Who will it be?"

But then, Southampton still had no blockbuster transfer news, and there was no news of contacting a big-name striker.

Instead, there were news of sending away players. For example, Sun Yi later sent goalkeeper Gazzaniga to Tottenham.

Since the second round of the Premier League, Southampton has sent away four or five players. But after that, there was no news from Southampton.

Seeing Southampton so quiet, the outside world is a little anxious.

"Look at how many players Southampton has sent away recently, and they must have collected a lot of funds. Add to that the funds from the previous offer for Philfino. Sun has at least 60 million to 70 million pounds in his hands."

"With so much money in hand, he must be planning a big move. But why is there no news at all?"

"Hurry up. The transfer window is about to close. It's really getting anxious."
