Extraordinary coach

Soon, the match day arrived.

The huge Old Trafford was full of fans.

This is a rare thing for Manchester United in recent times.

This situation was common at the beginning of the season. However, as their performance declined and they fell out of second place in the standings, it was difficult for Old Trafford to be full again.

This situation now just shows that this battle between the Saints and the Demons is a very eye-catching focus battle.

"Manchester United, must win!!"

This time, the slogan of the Red Devils fans was simple, just "must win".

In fact, the Southampton team in the away stands was also shouting "must win". But after all, they had fewer people. The sound was suppressed by the shouts of the Red Devils fans.

In this way, with the slogans of "must win" from both fans, the players of both teams all appeared on the field.

Without too much nonsense, the two teams started the game at the referee's whistle.

Due to the importance of this game, both sides naturally sent out their main players.

On the Manchester United side, top stars such as Lukaku, Pogba, Mata, and De Gea were arranged by Mourinho to start.

It can be said that Mourinho brought out the best and strongest lineup of Manchester United.

Although he has a good relationship with Sun Yi in private, he really shows no mercy on the court.

As for the Southampton team, needless to say, Kaka, Balotelli, Pulisic and other main players all started.

Both sides are full of main players, so it is naturally destined that the game will be very exciting at the beginning.

As the home team, Manchester United said that they must win before the game, so Mourinho naturally cannot let Manchester United play defensive counterattacks.

After the game started, Manchester United set up a big offensive posture.

On the Southampton side, Sun Yi also said that he must win, so he naturally had to be more attentive. He did not let Southampton play offensive right away. Instead, he played defensive counterattacks.

"Ah~~"

Such tactics of Southampton naturally attracted boos from the Red Devils fans.

"Tsk, Sun was so arrogant before the game. But in the game, he only dared to let Southampton shrink back."

"This is really cowardly!"

After hearing the boos, Mourinho also looked at Sun Yi proudly.

Brother! Didn't you say you wanted to go wild here?

Is this what you call going wild?

Listening to the boos of the opponent's fans and seeing Mourinho's mocking eyes, Sun Yi didn't care much.

Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he smiled instead.

Haha. Don't be impatient. Let's watch the good show first.

Manchester United's aggressive momentum in this game was expected by Sun Yi early on.

Sun Yi adopted such a weak defensive counterattack tactic at the beginning of the game today, just to target Manchester United.

And the real goal of Sun Yi's doing this is actually to target one person, that is, Pogba, the absolute core of Manchester United.

Sun Yi has studied Pogba and believes that he is the key to whether Southampton can win today.

Don't look at Pogba. For the time being, he seems to be in harmony with Mourinho. But when Manchester United had a bad time in the previous period, there were always news reports of conflicts between the two.

Sun Yi knew that this was not groundless. It was true.

And Sun Yi felt that Pogba's personality was a bit unpleasant. Although this person seems to be very good at getting along with others, he is particularly prone to conflicts with others when it comes to his own interests. This is a very self-centered person.

Therefore, Sun Yi made special arrangements for Pogba in this game.

"Pogba, enjoy the meal I prepared for you next. I hope you enjoy it."

The game on the field has been going on fiercely for several minutes.

During this period, Manchester United had the upper hand on the field.

However, there were not many opportunities that were really threatening.

And this still made the people of Manchester United very happy. Especially Pogba.

In these few minutes, Pogba felt that he had completely received the treatment that a core should have.

Almost all the attacks were initiated by him. He also took two long shots. What's more, in these attacks belonging to Manchester United, he controlled the ball for more than one-third of the time.

With so much time in possession, Pogba felt that he had enough time to perform. So he was very happy and excited.

Soon, after Southampton organized a wave of unsuccessful attacks, they quickly retreated to defend.

Manchester United also launched an attack again. The right to organize was once again given to Pogba.

After Pogba got the ball, he looked up and saw that his teammates didn't have a good position, and almost all of them were stared at.

On the contrary, he himself was not disturbed much, and the nearest defender was four or five meters away.

This not only allows Pogba to easily take the ball and observe the field, but also has a lot of dribbling space.

It's not Pogba's character to have space but not dribble.

Pogba ran forward with the ball without hesitation. Next, he faced Romeu.

Seeing that no one came to help Romeu and his teammates still didn't have a good position, Pogba decided to try to break through.

If you have the chance, you are a fool not to break through.

Pogba, who always likes to dribble the ball, decided to show himself well. As a superstar, he wants everyone to know that in addition to passing and organizing, he can also break through.

Faced with Pogba's breakthrough intention, Romeu kept retreating. He seemed to be afraid to face Pogba's breakthrough.

This made Pogba even happier. So, he pressed forward with the ball more confidently. He was ready to break through Romeu after forcing him to no avail.

However, Pogba, who was determined to break through Romeu, didn't know that while he was constantly pressing forward, Davis, who had recovered from injury in this game, had quietly surrounded him.

Romeu finally stopped retreating. Seeing this, Pogba was overjoyed, dribbled the ball in the right direction, and then accelerated to rush directly over.

Romeu failed to judge the direction of Pogba's breakthrough at first, but he turned very quickly and stuck to Pogba to interfere at the first time.

Although Romeu was quite strong, Pogba, who was known as the "Bo Ba", could still withstand this confrontation. Therefore, Pogba was confident that he could continue to charge forward.

But Davis, who had been lying in ambush next to him, suddenly rushed over to pinch him.

Seeing that there was another person coming to double-team, Pogba hurriedly tried to protect the ball. Unfortunately, with Davis and Romeu interfering and grabbing the ball, Pogba failed to protect it.

After Davis stole the ball, he immediately passed the ball to his teammates to launch a counterattack. Unfortunately, this counterattack was not seized. Except for a long shot that failed to hit the goal, it did not create too much threat.

Although Southampton's counterattack did not pose much threat to Manchester United, it still caused Mourinho to frown.
