Extraordinary coach
Chapter 245 Warming up before the war (update)
Southampton has been unbeaten in six games and won four games in a row, which is really amazing.
Unfortunately, since the start of this season, Manchester City and Manchester United, the two Manchester giants, have also been in amazing form.
They have also achieved six unbeaten games, and each of them has won a Champions League game.
Moreover, the quality of the opponents of these two teams in these six games is obviously higher than that of Southampton.
Like Manchester City, in the fourth round of the Premier League, they slaughtered Liverpool 5-0. Even that Champions League game was a massacre. They slaughtered Feyenoord 4-0.
Such offensive firepower is truly terrifying.
Although Manchester United is not as terrifying as Manchester City, it has also won several big victories.
What is even more surprising is that after the first five rounds of the Premier League, the two teams not only achieved the same results and got the same points, but also had the same goal difference of 14.
The two Manchester giants have dominated the Premier League with such an amazing record, which is even more shocking.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Southampton is still only considered to be qualified for the Champions League even though it has achieved such amazing results.
Compared with the two Manchester giants, Southampton does have a lot of gaps.
This also made Sun Yi not complacent after achieving such results. Instead, he still focused on training the team, hoping to continuously improve Southampton and make the team have real championship strength.
At the same time, Sun Yi was also somewhat surprised by Mourinho's achievements in the new season.
He didn't expect Mourinho, who was defeated by him in the Europa League before, to become so fierce now.
Looking at Manchester United's several big wins of more than three goals, Sun Yi couldn't believe that this was Mourinho's team.
However, no matter what, Sun Yi was still very happy that Mourinho could achieve such results.
He also called Mourinho to congratulate him. And invited Mourinho to find time to get together.
"Get together? That's possible. And it's coming soon."
"Soon? Yes, it's coming soon. Then I have to prepare well. I won't show mercy then."
"Use whatever tricks you have. This time, I'll let you see my real strength."
Soon after the clash in the Europa League final, Sun Yi will compete with Mourinho again.
The sixth round of the Premier League is Southampton vs. Manchester United.
When Sun Yi thinks about competing again, he is both looking forward to it and excited.
Mourinho's Manchester United is the first real test for Sun Yi after coaching Southampton.
That is the touchstone to test whether Southampton has the strength to compete for the championship.
However, before this crucial battle, Southampton still has a cup match to play first.
Before Southampton will face Manchester United, they will play a third round of the English League Cup.
The good news for Sun Yi is that Southampton did not encounter a strong team in this League Cup match.
They just encountered Bristol Rovers, who are in the English League One.
Sun Yi can win the English League One team with his eyes closed.
Although there are big upsets in the cup every year.
But Sun Yi does not think that with the very intense competition within Southampton, Bristol Rovers will have any chance of an upset.
In order to prepare for the next big battle with Manchester United, Sun Yi will naturally not send the main players to play in this League Cup match.
But Sun Yi's substitute lineup is no different from the main lineup for Bristol Rovers.
With Bristol Rovers not even having an A-level player, it is really impossible to compare with Southampton's substitute lineup.
You know, Southampton's lineup is said to be a substitute, but in fact, several of the starting players are the main players last season. For example, Gabiadini, Raymond and others.
With the help of young players such as Joe Gomez, Bednarek, and Pavard, the team still has a great advantage in strength.
However, after the game started, the situation on the field was not as exaggerated as the strength gap on paper.
The fact that most of Southampton's midfield and backcourt are composed of young players still leaves a lot of hidden dangers for their defense.
Being young makes it easy to make mistakes, and many of them are new players, so tacit understanding is also a problem.
Such actual conditions also made Southampton's defense be seized by Bristol Rovers to score a goal.
Although the defense was scored by Bristol Rovers, it did not affect Southampton's advantage in this game.
The forward line composed of Gabiadini and others is indeed not very powerful in the Premier League. But facing the defense of the English League One, they have a nearly crushing advantage.
Bristol Rovers can break Southampton's goal once, and these forwards of Southampton that Sun Yi is not satisfied with can break them twice.
There is no doubt that Southampton had the advantage in both the scene and the score.
As long as they could gain the advantage, Sun Yi had no doubts about defeating Bristol Rovers.
He was more concerned about Kaka, who he arranged to start today.
During this period, Sun Yi found that Kaka was getting better and better after he almost completed the training plan he developed with "State Stimulation".
And as his condition became excellent, Kaka's strength also recovered to the A-level.
Sun Yi wanted to see what effect Kaka, who had recovered a lot of strength, could play.
If the effect was good, he might become the winning weapon in the next game against Manchester United.
And because of his good condition, Kaka was really active in this game. And he also got an assist.
This situation made the fans of Southampton very happy. Especially the female fans, who screamed again and again.
However, Kaka's performance did not achieve the effect that Sun Yi wanted.
Sun Yi hoped that Kaka could play the effect that Adriano played when he played for Nice.
Kaka's performance was obviously still a long way from his peak.
His teammates seemed to hope that Kaka could score a goal. After taking the lead, they deliberately gave Kaka some shooting opportunities.
Unfortunately, Kaka's shooting always lacked a sense. Several extremely threatening shots eventually hit the goal post.
Kaka was also eager to score a goal. Unfortunately, he was always just a hair's breadth away from scoring throughout the game.
When the game was over, Sun Yi felt very sorry that he didn't see Kaka score a goal.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Kaka's condition had improved further and seemed to be on the verge of a hot streak.
This situation also gave Sun Yi some more ideas for the next game against Manchester United.
