Extraordinary coach

To be honest, Benitez's old man's way of teaching people really left Sun Yi speechless.

But Sun Yi felt that he learned a lot from the game against him.

Although this old man looks like a dick, Sun Yi found out after observation that he is indeed a dick.

The tactics he used were very reasonable and brought out the Newcastle team's level extremely efficiently. If it weren't for the fact that Newcastle's players were much inferior to Southampton, it would be hard to say whether Sun Yi would win this game.

Sun Yi even feels that if Benitez were to command the current Southampton team, it would definitely be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness.

Although Sun Yi is very confident, he has to admit that Benitez's tactical level is much better than what he is now.

Newcastle's tactics are really rich. The split-side attack during positional battles, the large-scale transfer of the ball to avoid strong points, and the inverted triangle passing tactics, etc. are really much richer than the Southampton team.

The most powerful and characteristic Sun Yi currently has is the quick counterattack tactic "Mu Style Counterattack". Other tactics are more conventional and have not yet been integrated into Sun Yi's own system.

Therefore, Sun Yi is really convinced by Bettnis's changeable tactics.

Among the tactics used by Newcastle, Sun Yi is most interested in the inverted triangle passing tactic.

This is not the first time Sun Yi has seen this tactic, Southampton also uses it occasionally. But Newcastle's more efficient and faster inverted triangle passing tactics combined with its large-scale transfer of the ball made Sun Yi suddenly seem to have a realization.

Sun Yi felt that a new set of tactics was presented before his eyes. It's just that he hasn't completely sorted it out yet. I always feel like something is missing, which makes the whole strategy unclear.

Since the game against Newcastle ended, Sun Yi has been lost in thought.

He always felt that there was a brand new tactic on his lips, but he just couldn't say it.

This made him think involuntarily in his daily training thereafter.

“Where is that critical point?”

"Sun, what's wrong with you? Why do you always feel a little absent-minded these days?" Listening to Sun Yi talking to himself, Diaw, who was watching the players training, couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about a set of tactics recently." Sun Yi told the truth.

"Thinking about tactics? Do you have any new ideas?" Dio asked curiously.

To be serious, Diaw is actually responsible for most of Southampton's current tactics. What Sun Yi is better at is commanding on the spot and his ability to see people. This situation existed as early as the Nice team.

"The game against Newcastle gave me a lot of insights. I am thinking about a brand new tactic to enrich our team's tactical options. ..." Sun Yi told Diaw all his thoughts.

"Well, our team can really increase these changes with inverted triangle passes and wide-range ball transfers." Diaw nodded.

"No. These two tactics made me think of a brand new tactic. It's just that this new tactic, I always feel that something is missing and has not taken shape." Sun Yi shook his head and said.

"New tactics?" Dio shook his head. He didn't think there could be any new tactics. With the development of football now, it has almost hit the tactical ceiling. In recent years, very few new things have come out.

Sun Yi continued to think, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly saw the team training match on the training ground. I happened to see Prowse break through the Rome bird's defense with a fried ball in a one-on-one.

"Fried meatballs?" Sun Yi's eyes suddenly widened. "Lao Liang's Chinese fried meatballs! Lao Liang once proposed the theory of bypassing defense zones that combines space and time."

"Yes, it's the theory of bypassing the defense zone. Haha. I finally found the key point." Sun Yi became excited.

"Uh~what?" Sun Yi said these excited words in Chinese, which Dior couldn't understand. Sun Yi's surprise and sudden laughter made him feel both speechless and curious.

"Sun, do you have any good ideas?"

Sun Yi did not answer Diaw's words, but excitedly shouted to the players on the field who were fighting within the team: "Stop, everyone, stop. The intra-team competition ends here."

"Sun, wait a minute~" Dior had an objection, but Sun Yi had already run to the training ground with excitement on his face.

"In this way, Pulisic, after you try the ball, no matter whether it is successful or not, your first choice is to pass the ball back at 45 degrees."

"Kaka, you keep supporting Pulisic in the middle. Once Pulisic passes back, you can pass the ball as soon as possible, move into the penalty area, or kick to the left corner of the penalty area."

"Golovin, you run into the penalty area like this..."

"Okay. That's it, now the kick-off starts from Kaká's side. Van Dijk, you defend with all your strength. Do your best! Do you hear me?"

Sun Yi suddenly stopped the game and then made some demands on his own. The players were confused. But they still started doing what Sun Yi asked.

"Okay, coach."

"Start now."

Dior didn't know what Sun Yi was going to do, but he was curious about what new thing Sun Yi had come up with this time. It will probably be something good. Because Sun Yi has never let him down.

Soon, the players followed suit.

"Okay. Well done. That's it. However, Rebic, you can pull to the right, Kaka, you need to pass the ball quickly, try to pass it directly with one foot..." Sun Yi was very excited. After the first attempt, he felt that what he wanted was becoming clearer and clearer.

Soon, the players practiced according to Sun Yi's new requirements.

"Okay. This is it. Add a little more change, Golovin, you cut into the ribs, Bertrand, you come up... Just like that, try it again."

"Very good. Very good. Change the direction this time. Golovin will initiate..."

"..." Sun Yi began to constantly direct the players to practice according to his requirements. And the more the players practiced, the more excited Sun Yi became.

When the players were exhausted and Dio reminded them that the training time was up on the sidelines, Sun Yi ended this very sudden tactical drill.

"Haha. Success. A brand new tactical concept, this is my own tactic." Sun Yi cheered excitedly.

Seeing Sun Yi was very excited, Dio knew it must be a good thing. But he didn't see anything special in Sun Yi's actions just now. It's not that it's bad, but it feels like a combination of large-scale transfer balls and inverted triangle passes, and there's nothing new. "Sun, what you practiced seems..."

"No, I have to write it all down." Sun Yi didn't have time to pay attention to Dio, but turned around and ran back to the office.

And Dio followed him back to the office. Then he saw Sun Yi muttering and writing tactics.

At first Dio didn't care, but as Sun Yi wrote more and more on tactics, Dio's eyes widened.

After Sun Yi finished writing all his insights, he knocked on the tactical board and said to Dio excitedly: "Dio, do you see it? This is a brand new tactical system. The central concept is to bypass the defense zone. Bypass the heavily guarded area and launch a fatal blow from the weakest flank. This is different from the large-scale transfer ball!"
