Extraordinary coach

Chapter 255: The Battle between Saint and Demon (End)

The terrifying fighting spirit aroused by Southampton forced Manchester United to invest more energy in defense.

The members of Manchester United also watched the replay, and they knew that it was the referee who helped them escape.

If it weren't for the referee's misjudgment, they would have fallen behind again at this moment.

Therefore, even if the referee blew the goal, the threat was real.

If Southampton can attack like this once, they will definitely come again.

Especially now Kaka is in a terrifyingly good state. Everyone in Manchester United has to admit in their hearts that such a Kaka has brought them huge pressure.

People have been sent to close guard, and they can continue to create threats. Such a Kaka is definitely an extremely dangerous person. If you are not careful, he can score a goal.

This situation forced Manchester United to strengthen its defense.

As the momentum of Southampton's attack became more and more amazing, the offensive launched became more and more threatening. Less than five minutes later, Manchester United was forced to retreat almost all the way.

At this time, it was Mourinho's turn to be entangled.

Now on the field, Southampton's momentum has completely risen. Manchester United may not be able to fight Southampton head-on.

If they play against Southampton again. Judging from the current situation, Manchester United is likely to lose the ball first.

Retreat and park the bus?

Mourinho is still reluctant to do this. Since this season, he has finally made Manchester United's offense improve greatly. If he returns to the old way, it is likely to hit the team's morale.

"Retreat! Retreat the formation." Mourinho finally chose to let Manchester United retreat.

He is different from Sun Yi. Although he wants to attack, he still tends to play defensive counterattacks in his mind. When the situation is going well, he certainly doesn't mind playing offensive football that makes the fans happy. But once it comes to the critical moment, pragmatic ideas naturally prevail.

When Manchester United retreated, Mourinho immediately felt relaxed.

There are not many coaches in the Premier League who can defend better than him.

Mourinho is fully confident that Sun Yi's Southampton team will be humiliated in the next game time.

Moreover, if Southampton attacks too quickly, they may be able to use a quick counterattack to sneak attack.

"Sure enough, it's still the same Mourinho. I thought he really changed. This time it's really difficult to play."

Mourinho's decisiveness made Sun Yi frown.

Southampton's ability to attack dense defenses is still relatively average. Sun Yi now has no battering ram players like Balotelli and Adriano.

Austin, the center forward, has a good header ability, but his overall strength is still a little lacking. You can't expect him to play an unrealistic role.

As Manchester United retreated, Southampton's offensive momentum was curbed. It is difficult to create the same threat as before.

The field began to enter a fierce stalemate war of attrition again.

"Come on, Southampton!"

"Score one more!" With the fans' cheers, Southampton worked hard, but Manchester United's defense was not inferior to theirs.

For a while, Southampton really had no way to deal with Manchester United's goal.

As the game entered the last part of the 70th minute, physical problems came unexpectedly. Southampton's offensive momentum also slowed down.

The slowdown of the offensive allowed Manchester United to start threatening counterattacks.

When the game came to the 79th minute, Manchester United seized the opportunity to play a "Mourinho counterattack".

It's speechless to say that the "Mourinho counterattack" tactic is one of Mourinho's magic weapons, but the number of times it can be played in Manchester United is pitiful. Because Manchester United lacks some offensive players with enough speed.

And this time, Manchester United rarely played it. This made Mourinho himself very excited.

Unfortunately, Manchester United's quick counterattack slowed down after hitting Ibrahimovic's feet.

Ibrahimovic's speed was a little lacking, and since he was not injured last season, he was unable to make the final shot in the first place.

He tried to get rid of the defense by dribbling the ball before shooting. And he met Pavard who was particularly desperate today. Physically, Pavard is still slightly inferior, but he is fast enough and desperate enough.

Under the entanglement and interference of Pavard, Ibrahimovic's shot failed to hit the goal, but hit the side net.

Ibrahimovic was very upset that he could not seize this opportunity, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Pavard, and the two had a quarrel. However, they were pulled apart by the people around them in the first place.

"Huh~" Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Before, he was really worried.

He was not worried about the conflict between Pavard and Ibrahimovic, nor was he worried about Ibrahimovic's shot that was safe. What Sun Yi was really worried about was that the referee would judge that Pavard had committed a foul in defense.

If another penalty was called, there would be no need to play.

Soon, the game continued.

Although Manchester United's threatening counterattack has added a lot of defensive pressure to Southampton, it cannot stop their determination to win at home.

Especially Kaka, this feeling of returning to the peak made him determined to help Southampton win this game. Otherwise it would be too imperfect.

However, as Manchester United retreated, Kaka encountered a much stronger defense and less space to rush.

This greatly limited his performance.

But even so, Kaka still had a very strong desire to win. Next, he still tried his best to use his ability to help Southampton launch an attack.

Unfortunately, as Southampton's physical fitness declined, his teammates' support for him was not as good as before. Especially the very impactful Pulisic, who rushed too much in front and was already a little unable to run.

Seeing this, Sun Yi was also very decisive and ruthlessly used the last substitution quota. Pulisic was replaced with Lozano.

Lozano's conflict ability and speed are somewhat inferior to Pulisic, but he has better crossing ability than Pulisic.

With the energetic Lozano going up, Southampton's threat on the right also increased.

But Mourinho also reacted very quickly, and he quickly sent Blind up.

Blind is a defender with A-level strength. Using him to deal with Lozano, who currently only has A-level strength, soon took effect.

This made Lozano very active after he came on the court, but he couldn't play his good passing ability.

This made the game quickly return to the previous stalemate.

As the game time passed, Southampton was still trying to score goals, and Manchester United also launched counterattacks from time to time. But no one could score.

Not long after, the game began to come to an end.

The players on both sides were already a little tired because of the fierce fight in the front.

Kaka's physical fitness has also reached the bottom. After all, his age is there, although his physical condition today is surprisingly good. But he really can't play.

However, Kaka is unwilling to give up. He is still eager to help Southampton win with a goal.

As the game has entered the overtime stage, everyone seems to be mentally prepared to accept a draw.

Kaka, who doesn't have to give up, suddenly rushed up when Southampton has possession of the ball.

Unexpectedly, Kaka was still so fierce at this time. Matic, who was already exhausted, failed to stop Kaka. Other players who were also unable to run, also failed to stop Kaka in the first time.

This allowed Kaka to shoot from 30 meters away again.

"Bang!" The ball drew an arc and went straight to the far upper corner of the goal.

Got it? !

Sun Yi clenched his fists excitedly and nervously.

Kaka's shot was really of amazing quality. De Gea flew to save the ball. But he tried his best but couldn't touch the ball with his hands. He was unable to stop Kaka's shot again.

However~

"Bang!"

The goalpost prevented the goal from happening.

"Oh! No!!" Seeing the ball bounce out of the bottom line, Sun Yi shouted unwillingly.

"Hey! It didn't go in. Maybe it's God's will!" Kaka sighed. He had used up the last bit of his strength. Unexpectedly, it was blocked by the goalpost in the end.

A draw! This may be God's will.
