Extraordinary coach

Four to zero!

It was a quick victory.

This made the Southampton fans fascinated. They were immersed in the joy of beating their opponents.

Even after the game, they were reluctant to leave, but sang loudly there.

"Haha! Today's game was so exciting!"

"In the first half, almost every quick counterattack scored a goal. This efficiency is really scary! I thought this was Manchester City."

"In addition to quick counterattacks, the ability of positional warfare seems to be good. Compared with the previous few games, no, compared with last season, there has been a significant improvement."

"Before, we were worried that Sun was a coach who was not worthy of his reputation. After this game, we completely believe that he is definitely worthy of his previous reputation in Ligue 1."

A 4-0 victory directly made countless Southampton fans return to Sun Yi. And the entire team began to trust Sun Yi from the bottom of their hearts. I believe he can definitely bring them a different season.

It's not that Southampton has never scored four goals against the opponent. They did it against Walford last season.

But in that game, Southampton gave up defense and completely showed offensive against Walford.

Although Southampton won in the end, they only won by one more goal at the end of the game.

Moreover, Walford last season is different from the current one.

Walford last season was a weak team on the verge of relegation. Walford now can tie with Liverpool 3-3.

It's the same opponent, but the strength has changed dramatically.

What's more exciting is that Southampton won this game too easily. Walford was almost powerless to fight back. The meaning of this is even more different.

After playing this game, not only the fans felt good. Even the players themselves felt good.

"I haven't felt this good for a long time!"

"It would be great if we could play like this in every game."

"No, even if we can play like this against a lower-tier team, it would be awesome!"

"I have to say, our coach is really amazing! He is absolutely good at attacking. Especially counterattacks, it's amazing. After just a few days of practice, he actually scored two goals today!"

In this game, Sun Yi can be said to have completely won the recognition of the Southampton team.

And the impact of this game is not limited to Southampton. The outside world, especially the extremely picky British media, also made very approving comments.

"What a massacre! I have to say that Sun is indeed capable. He can make Southampton, which has always been strong in defense and weak in offense, now have good offensive capabilities."

"If Southampton can continue to maintain this terrifying goal efficiency, it will definitely be a performance at the level of a giant club."

Praise is praise, and after the praise, many media people will change the subject.

"Of course, this situation is definitely impossible."

"It should be said that Sun's ability to lead Southampton to such a big victory is also closely related to the opponent. You know, Walford is a team without defense, and it was a relegation team last season. It is actually natural to win such a weak team."

"There are still many teams that can do this."

Indeed. Although Walford was able to play a thrilling offensive battle with Liverpool before. But Sun Yi used the system to observe that Walford's real strength is obviously not as good as the current Southampton team.

It is estimated that Walford was able to play like that because it was a chicken blood.

Therefore, Sun Yi did not think that the big victory over Walford was anything great. When he was in Nice, he also led the team to bloodbath Paris Saint-Germain.

This was just an ordinary victory.

He didn't take it seriously at all. Forget it later.

Next, there are still the following games to pay attention to.

And the focus of the outside world also quickly shifted to the next game.

"Southampton's next game will be an away game. The opponent is the newly promoted Huddersfield team. The opponent's strength is very average."

"Although Huddersfield's strength is not very good, I believe they can definitely bring a test to Southampton at their home court."

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Southampton's opponent is indeed Huddersfield. Since the opponent's strength is relatively average, the outside world generally believes that it should be no problem to win this game. But at the same time, it is believed that it is impossible to win as easily as winning Walford.

After all, Huddersfield is playing at home. The fighting power and fighting will are very different.

When waiting for the game, after Sun Yi arranged the starting lineup, it was considered that it would not be easy to win. It is even likely to end in a draw.

The reason is that in this game, Sun Yi made a large-scale adjustment in the starting lineup. Half of the players who started in the last game were put on the bench by him.

Because the strength of Huddersfield did not make Sun Yi feel any pressure at all. In the pre-match simulation, Southampton's winning rate was very high.

Therefore, Sun Yi simply changed many people in the starting lineup. This not only allows him to explore the team's various player combinations, but also takes care of the players who did not start or play in the previous game.

In this game, Sun Yi really changed a lot of people.

Two forwards were replaced. Lozano and Golovin were paired on the wings, and Austin, the center forward, replaced Rebic.

Tadic also replaced Prowse as the attacking midfielder. The captain was resting at the defensive midfielder. Boufal was replaced.

Two defenders were adjusted. Pavard replaced Maya Yoshida, and Arnold replaced Suarez as the full-back.

In total, Sun Yi changed six starting players at once. It was almost like the entire lineup was completely changed.

This lineup, of course, cannot compare with the previous lineup in terms of strength. But it is a good choice to appease the old players and train the young players at the same time.

The only problem may be tacit understanding.

Sure enough, after the game started, Southampton did not show the unstoppable momentum of the previous game. There was indeed a lack of tacit understanding and chemical reaction in cooperation.

This prevented Southampton from taking the lead in the first half.

In the second half, it should be that the players began to have a chemical reaction and began to play what Sun Yi wanted to see.

The first team to perform well was the forward combination.

It was Southampton's quick counterattack after a successful defense.

Lozano took on the role of Pulisic this time. Although his style is different from Pulisic's, he is also a player with strong offensive ability. This allows him to lead the "Mourinho counterattack" when the opportunity comes.

Lozano, Golovin, and Austin's quick cooperation, coupled with Tadic's follow-up, quickly tore through Huddersfield's defense.

In the end, Lozano cut inside and scored.

One to zero.

Southampton took the lead.
