Extraordinary coach

Chapter 293 Chelsea's Weakness

Two to one.

Southampton is behind!

"Oh, no!"

There was a wailing in the away team's stands.

Sun Yi also looked a little frustrated.

He didn't expect that this game would have such a sudden change.

Now it's not just a trouble. It's very likely that a defeat will come.

If this game is really lost. This loss is not just a game. It's related to the success or failure of the entire season.

Some people may say that it's just a loss of a game. The season is still long.

But Sun Yi can't think like that.

Manchester City is too strong this season. It's so strong that any opponent can't take it lightly. As long as they are a little careless, they will be immediately thrown away, and there will be no chance to compete with them.

So, for the hope of the championship, Sun Yi can't lose this game anyway.

Must win the game!

At the very least, can't lose!

This is Sun Yi's bottom line for this game.

Now, Sun Yi must come up with an effective way to change the situation as soon as possible.

He began to fall into contemplation.

"Chelsea, must win!"

The Blues fans were ecstatic after overtaking the score. They started cheering wildly.

"Haha, we've overtaken! We've overtaken! I told you. This is Stamford Bridge, our territory. Southampton can't make any waves."

"Did you see that? We've overtaken. Now it's time for us to lock in the victory."

"People from Southampton, now you know how powerful we are, right? We are the Blues, not the softies next door who just call themselves Gunners."

"Two to one, let's go three to one next time! We don't ask for much. Winning two is enough."

Blues fans really don't ask for much!

Then they started shouting 'three to one' throughout the stadium.

Amid the shouts of the fans, Chelsea was also very excited. Their morale had reached the peak of the game after overtaking.

"Keep scoring!"

"The fans are asking for it, we must satisfy them."

After Southampton kicked off again, Chelsea rushed over with a roar.

Southampton, whose morale had already dropped due to being overtaken, suddenly panicked.

They should have been attacking, but they were forced to not pass the half court.

Not only that, they made a mistake in passing the ball in a panic.

Luckily, the mistake went out of bounds, not directly to the opponent's feet. Otherwise, the consequences would be more serious.

And such a situation also forced Sun Yi to react first.

"Steady first."

"Everyone retreat first. Strengthen defense first!"

This was the only choice Sun Yi could make before he came up with a good solution.

Although this was contrary to what he had said to Dio before, the situation was different now after all.

They had already fallen into a huge disadvantage. It was better to control the situation first and not let it continue to deteriorate. After that, he could calmly think about countermeasures.

Southampton began to retreat according to Sun Yi's instructions, no longer preparing to attack.

This retreat naturally made Chelsea more aggressive.

They attacked more vigorously, and they were ready to suppress Southampton in the backcourt and beat them to death.

This made the scene look one-sided.

Such a situation made Conte very happy.

"Haha. The situation is very good. We will definitely win this game."

For Chelsea, the situation is really very good.

Southampton still retreated when they were behind. In their view, it was not that Southampton took the initiative to retreat, but that they were attacked and unable to fight back.

Because there has never been such a thing as taking the initiative to retreat after falling behind.

Whether it was forced or voluntary, the only meaning for Sun Yi was to delay time.

Before the game was completely killed, give him time to think about countermeasures.

Although Southampton's morale became a little low after being overtaken, they still defended very tenaciously after retreating with all their strength.

Southampton's defense was one of the best in the Premier League, and after the players in the midfield and frontcourt retreated to help defend, the defense naturally became stronger.

Even though Chelsea was very aggressive, they still couldn't do anything to Southampton in a short period of time.

It just turned the situation into one side attacking fiercely and the other side defending.

"Goal! Goal!"

Southampton defended very hard amid the excited shouts of the Blues fans.

But their efforts were not in vain. After ten minutes of hard defense, Sun Yi finally found a weakness that Chelsea could exploit.

That was Hazard, the offensive core of Chelsea.

Sun Yi found that Hazard played very impatiently.

Although Chelsea is in a very favorable situation now, it can even be said that it is in the hands of victory. But Hazard's situation is incompatible with his teammates.

Others, especially Fabregas, can be said to be playing with an attitude of enjoying the game. But Hazard is very different.

Whether it was taking the ball or passing it, every action showed a psychological state of being eager for success.

Sun Yi thought about it for a while and soon understood the reason.

It was nothing else, Hazard just needed to make a contribution.

In this game, both goals of Chelsea were scored by Fabregas who came on as a substitute.

Although the first free kick was an opportunity created by Hazard. But Hazard was tackled by Pavard before the start, causing Chelsea to fall behind for a whole first half.

It can be said that Hazard has been a stain so far in this game. He needs to clear his name.

Otherwise, his limelight will be snatched away by Fabregas in this game. This will affect his core position in Chelsea.

After all, the situation on the field is already like this.

In the past, Chelsea's offense was centered around Hazard, but now everyone consciously plays around Fabregas.

Fabregas is the absolute offensive core on the field now.

This is something that the proud Hazard cannot accept anyway.

So, Hazard needs to perform.

He needs to score!

After discovering this situation, Sun Yi thought that this might be the key to reversing the current situation.

So, he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Kaka who was nearby.

"Kaka, you will secretly convey my meaning to your teammates later."

"From now on, you should intentionally let Hazard get the ball on the court. Give him the opportunity to attack with the ball."

"Once he gets the ball, cut off his passing route and force him to do it himself."

After listening to Sun Yi's instructions, Kaka quickly went back and conveyed Sun Yi's meaning to the players on the court.

Although the players on the court did not understand why Sun Yi did this, they still followed his instructions.

Soon, when Chelsea organized an attack again, they found that Hazard had a good position to get the ball.

After the ball was passed to Hazard's feet, it was difficult to find the next passing route.

Before Hazard attacked the back line, he was rarely disturbed by the defense.

Such a situation encouraged Hazard to attack with the ball himself.

He was eager to make a contribution, and he would not let go of such an opportunity.

What made Hazard even more excited was that he had the opportunity to face Pavard again.

Without his teammates in a position to receive, it was natural for him to force Pavard.

In fact, Hazard had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

If Conte hadn't been pressing him before, he would have wanted to compete with Pavard one-on-one again.

He wanted to take back what he had lost.

Hazard also thought that his team was in high spirits and Pavard must be panicking now.

But when Hazard was confident and ready to regain his face, he found that Pavard was not panicking.

On the contrary, his tackle was still sharp.

So Hazard was in tragedy again.

Not only was the ball intercepted, but Southampton also launched a counterattack.

Unfortunately, Southampton retreated further back and did not invest enough in launching a counterattack, so they failed to seize the opportunity.

The ball was intercepted and the opponent launched a counterattack. This made Conte very unhappy.

He couldn't help but yelled: "Hazard, don't mess around. Pay attention to the team."

Team, team, fucking team!

Why don't you let other people come to support me!

Hazard, who was tackled again, was already very depressed. He was immediately dissatisfied with Conte's yelling.

However, Conte is the head coach after all, and Hazard can only frown and fight back.

Soon, Chelsea organized an offensive again.

With Hazard's situation, Chelsea became much more patient this time.

But not long after, they found that Hazard was in the best position to get the ball again.

So, the ball soon came to Hazard's feet again.

After getting the ball, Hazard looked up and saw that his teammates' receiving routes were intercepted again. Instead, he was left with the opportunity to directly attack the Southampton team's back line.

The opportunity to force the opponent's last line of defense is an opportunity that every excellent striker will not miss.

This can't be blamed on me alone. It's because I have a good opportunity, and my teammates don't respond.

Hazard was at ease preparing to attack with the ball.

And he met Pavard again.

Still one-on-one, facing Pavard.

Of course, this is just an appearance. Behind Pavard's side, Van Dijk is ready to fill in at any time.

Of course Hazard saw it, but what he was thinking about most was to beat Pavard.

I just don't believe it.

I, Hazard, can't break through you, a little-known French kid.

Hazard gritted his teeth and immediately tried his best to break through Pavard.

Just like the previous times. Hazard was able to break through Pavard in the first time, but in the second time, when he was about to kick the ball, he could not escape Pavard's tackle.

The ball destroyed by Pavard's tackle was confiscated by goalkeeper Foster.

And Foster immediately threw the ball to start the attack.

This is the requirement that Sun Yi always emphasizes on weekdays. Once the defense is successful, launch a quick counterattack immediately!

This time, Southampton was much more prepared. They immediately launched a quick counterattack. In the end, they also shot.

Unfortunately, Golovin's long shot missed the goal.

Although the ball did not go in, it was a real threat.

This made the Southampton fans finally make a warm voice again after being silent for a long time.

"You played well. That's it."

"As long as we keep doing it a few more times, we will definitely be able to tie the score."

With the fans cheering, the Southampton players finally saw light on their faces. They also saw hope.

Two consecutive successful defenses and counterattacks created threats. This really gave them hope.

Conte really couldn't help it this time.

"Hazard, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't you have the concept of team in your mind?"

Conte's words were a bit heavy.

Hazard was already very depressed. He was stunned when he heard this.

Then, the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart also broke out.

"Where do I have no concept of team?"

"How can this be blamed on me?"

"No one to receive, who can I pass to?"

"And the opportunity of facing the defender one-on-one, shouldn't I, as a striker, seize it?"

Seeing that Hazard actually retorted, Conte was immediately angry.

"I don't want to listen to your quibbling. From the beginning of today's game, you have no team spirit."

"I say it again. Pay attention to the team, pass the ball, and cooperate. If I see you play like this again, then come down."

Seeing that Conte actually sprayed Hazard. Sun Yi was overjoyed.

Yeah! Success!

"Boys, keep going."

"They are fighting. The chance is coming!"

The players of Southampton also saw the scene, and when they heard Sun Yi's words, they all showed joy on their faces.

But Chelsea lost their previous high spirits. The core of the team quarreled with the head coach, which hit their morale.

After the quarrel, the game started again.

Chelsea organized an offensive again.

Although Conte yelled at Hazard and was very dissatisfied with him, Hazard was the offensive core of Chelsea. The ball always had to be at his feet.

When Hazard got the ball again, he encountered the same situation as before.

With the previous two situations, coupled with Conte's scolding, Hazard did hesitate in his heart.

But he looked around and found that his teammates were followed closely, and there was no good position to receive.

The choice left for Hazard was to face Pavard again.

Hazard was not afraid of Pavard. Even if he was tackled so many times, he still believed that he would be able to break through.

However, he thought of what Conte had just yelled at him.

Didn't you ask me to pass the ball?

Then I'll do as you say.

I'll pass the ball.

With a competitive grudge, Hazard didn't care if his teammates were followed by defenders or not, and he would kick the ball to anyone he saw.

Hazard's pass was also good. Whoever he aimed at, the ball would find him accurately.

It was just that the teammate he passed the ball to was followed by a defender, and his teammate didn't catch the ball, but was intercepted by the Southampton defender first.

Seeing the ball was intercepted. Hazard shrugged innocently.

This can't be blamed on me, right? I did it as required. This is about team awareness.

"Attack!"

"Quick!"

Southampton didn't care about these. At the urging of Sun Yi, they immediately launched a counterattack.

This time, Southampton was fully prepared. This allowed them to successfully play the "Mourinho Counterattack".

Three or four passes directly penetrated all the defenses of Chelsea.

Kaka made a classic "Kaka run shot"!

The ball went into the goal quickly and cunningly with a beautiful arc.

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Kaka!!!"
