Extraordinary coach

2:0.

This score is not just a prediction by the media.

In fact, Guardiola also believes that this game is likely to have this result.

Because he and Manchester City do have this strength. When they are playing at home, this estimated result is actually very conservative.

"3:0! Minimum consumption 3:0."

On the day of the game, the Blue Moon fans put up such a banner in the stands.

"Where is this?"

"Etihad!"

"Who are we?"

"We are the Blue Moon Manchester City team!"

"What are we going to do today?"

"Win the victory, at least three goals!"

After all, today's game is a battle for the top spot, and the entire Etihad Stadium is packed with fans. Sun Yi just led the Southampton team into the Etihad Stadium, and they were greeted by the above domineering slogans.

Winning at least three goals is not the first time Sun Yi has heard it. In fact, he is really familiar with it. Last year, when he was still coaching Nice, he heard it at the home courts of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. However, without exception, his team scored three goals in a row.

Logically speaking, Sun Yi should be very excited and happy to hear such a shout again. But today he didn't have that confidence.

Today he faced a stronger team than Paris Saint-Germain. Although the team he led was stronger than Nice at that time, he now lacked something that could change the direction of the game.

Sun Yi suddenly regretted leaving the captain's armband there when he left Nice.

If the captain's armband was there and could be used, he would have the confidence to defeat any opponent.

In addition, the ability of "State Stimulation" lacks controllability and requires more time. Although he has already re-developed a training plan for Kaka. But the current Kaka has only restored his state to a good level.

There is still a long way to go before the Heat explode.

Originally, Sun Yi had another ability that could affect the direction of the game, which was "Majestic". Unfortunately, it was used in the previous game against Liverpool. Now it is still a long way to go before it can be used again.

It can be said that when facing the strongest enemy in the Premier League this time, Sun Yi had no cards to play. The only thing he could rely on was the players of the Southampton team.

Sun Yi really had no idea what the result of this game would be.

However, although he was unsure, he was also a little unhappy with the arrogant slogans of the Blue Moon fans.

So, before the game started, he gathered the players together and started shouting.

"Did you hear it?"

"They said they wanted to win us by at least three goals!"

"How are you going to respond?"

"Fuck them. Let's kill them later." The young and energetic Pavard said immediately.

"Kill them. They actually looked down on us so much. We should shut them up!" Kaka, who has always been gentle and elegant, also said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes! Get them!" Others also started to make noise.

The players' emotions were exactly what Sun Yi wanted. He nodded secretly, and then said confidently: "What I want to say is that this is not the first time I have encountered such arrogant and high-profile players like them. I met them several times when I was coaching in Ligue 1. And every time without exception, my team won more than three goals from them."

"The team I coached at that time was Nice. And now you are stronger than Nice. There is no reason to lose to them."

"Yes. We must win. And we must win more than three goals against them!" Pavard raised his fist again. Then others followed suit.

"Very good! Go. We are waiting for your good news!" Sun Yi nodded and applauded, and then asked the players to prepare for the game.

"Come on Southampton! No matter where you are, we are with you!"

There are quite a few Southampton players who followed to the Etihad Stadium today. The guest stands left by Manchester City were all packed.

Although their number is far less than that of Manchester City fans, their momentum when cheering for Southampton is still very huge.

With such fans supporting them, Southampton has more confidence and is not intimidated by the away atmosphere.

"Play! Play with all your might. There are so many fans cheering for us. We will never let them down!"

Southampton started the challenge against Manchester City with very high morale.

Although Sun Yi wanted to compete with Guardiola, he was very cautious about the arrangement of this game. The tactics he arranged for Southampton in the first half were defensive tactics.

And Sun Yi was also very glad that he did not aim too high and did not let Southampton go against Manchester City.

In the pre-match simulation, Sun Yi knew that Manchester City was very strong. But when he arrived at the scene, he found that Manchester City was stronger than he thought.

Let's take a look at the starting lineup arranged by Manchester City today.

433 formation. Jesus, Aguero and Sterling formed an offensive trident. Gundogan, F. Fernandinho and De Bruyne form the three midfielders. Delph, Otamendi, Kompany and Walker form the back line. The goalkeeper is Ederson, who joined this season.

Look at this starting lineup. The worst is also at the A level, and there are only one or two. The vast majority of players are at the A+ level.

Manchester City also has a player that surprised Sun Yi, that is the core midfielder De Bruyne.

He found that De Bruyne's strength was as high as S-level.

Such strength should be the most awesome one Sun Yi has met so far.

In Sun Yi's opinion, players with such strength have already surpassed the world-class players by one level. They are extremely rare in the world.

Because it was the first time he saw it, Sun Yi didn't know what kind of power such a player would bring. But he knew that if he let go and played against Manchester City, he would definitely die miserably.

It can be said that Manchester City, which is mainly composed of A+ level players, is a level higher than Southampton.

"Sure enough, there is a reason why Manchester City can always be at the top of the standings this season!" Sun Yi couldn't help but admire the strength of Manchester City.

At the same time, he thought to himself: If Southampton wants to compete with Manchester City for the championship, I am afraid that Southampton's strength will have to make a qualitative leap.

Sun Yi was quite satisfied with Southampton's strength and room for growth before. But after seeing the strength of Manchester City, he has secretly decided to buy talents well after the winter transfer window.

The game on the field has already begun. From the beginning of the game, Southampton fell into a disadvantage.
