Extraordinary coach

"Ding!"

The system task has been updated, please check it in time.

Sun Yi, who was worried about the game, suddenly heard the above prompt and was still a little unresponsive.

After a long time, he finally reacted.

Oh, there is a new task.

By the way, Sun Yi has not received a system task for a long time.

And the number of system tasks is getting less and less. After not seeing the task for a long time, Sun Yi almost forgot that there was such a thing.

In the past, Sun Yi urgently needed the system's rewards, but now to be honest, since Southampton has Ronaldo, he has become less and less dependent on the cheats provided by the system.

If it were in the past, Sun Yi would be very happy to have another reward to take. This time, he has a dispensable attitude.

After not checking the system tasks so actively, Sun Yi found that the system gave a task called "Test".

Task "Test".

Facing the strongest opponent, and falling behind. This is the beginning of the real test.

Go and beat the opponent. Win this game. Let everyone know that your team is the strongest.

Passing the "Test" will reward you with a special skill.

If you fail, two of your existing skills will disappear randomly.

"Another task and reward and punishment. Nothing new!"

After reading the task introduction, Sun Yi felt that this task was boring.

In the past, he would complain about the inconsistency of rewards and punishments, but now he feels that he has seen too many tasks of this kind and he doesn't even feel excited.

No matter what, even if there is no task, Sun Yi will definitely try his best to make Southampton reverse the game. This is what he must do. The appearance of this task makes him feel that it is unnecessary. Anyway, he doesn't need the system reward so much now.

Sun Yi, who lacks interest, quickly pulled his attention back to reality from the system.

On the field, Manchester City has finished celebrating. Both sides returned to their respective half and prepared to kick off again.

Manchester City, who scored a goal, obviously became more motivated. Smiles can be seen on their faces.

Many people on the Southampton team had gloomy faces and looked a little solemn.

Sun Yi felt that such emotions were a bit too heavy. So he shouted: "Just keep a normal mind. Play as usual. Believe in yourself, we have the strength."

Soon, the game started again.

After the start, Southampton immediately launched a fierce attack.

It can be seen that the players of Southampton wanted to equalize the score immediately.

At this time, Guardiola was commanding loudly on the sidelines: "Retreat, strengthen defense!"

Under Guardiola's command, Manchester City quickly retreated. Obviously strengthened the investment in defense.

This is the situation that Sun Yi is most worried about. Now it has really appeared.

The opponent took the initiative to retreat, but Sun Yi had to let Southampton attack in a big way.

"Attack, attack!!"

Taking advantage of Manchester City's retreat, Southampton pressed forward in a big way.

The Southampton team, which was originally behind, needed to increase its attack, which directly allowed them to suppress Manchester City in the backcourt.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Southampton attacked Manchester City's goal fiercely. It's just that Manchester City took the initiative to retreat after all, and the purpose was to strengthen defense. They can withstand such an attack.

In addition to obviously strengthening the defense, Manchester City also took the opportunity to counterattack. And with three extremely fast forwards, Mahrez, Aguero and Sane, their counterattack is also a great threat.

This made it impossible for Southampton to attack with all their strength, and the defenders were highly alert to Manchester City's counterattack.

On the one hand, they couldn't attack with all their strength, and on the other hand, they had a ball in hand and counterattacked effectively, which made the game deadlocked.

And this deadlock is obviously in Manchester City's favor. The longer the time drags on, the better it is for them.

Southampton really wants to score as soon as possible to equalize the score. But Manchester City's defensive strength is actually not worse than Southampton. Under their full defense, Southampton did not score the desired goal until the end of the first half.

In the end, Southampton returned to the locker room with a one-goal disadvantage.

It is obvious that the Southampton team is very dissatisfied with such a result.

This is not dissatisfaction with goalkeeper Foster. He did not make any mistakes in that goal, but his ability was limited. He could not defend it. What everyone is dissatisfied with is that they failed to score.

"Goal. We need to score!"

"In the second half, we must work harder and play a stronger offensive ability. We need to score goals and more goals to win."

"Brothers, you must cheer up in the second half!"

These words were not said by Sun Yi, the head coach, but by Ronaldo. Obviously, he is really eager to win.

As for Ronaldo's behavior, Sun Yi did not feel that his authority was exceeded, but felt that it was very good.

Under Ronaldo's encouragement, Southampton's mood and desire to score goals were very good.

However, Sun Yi felt that this was not enough. Southampton needed to make a substitution.

Based on Southampton's performance in the first half, although they had the advantage of the number of shots, it was difficult to say whether they could score.

Sun Yi sent out Southampton's strongest lineup today. But today, Balotelli seemed to have forgotten to wear his shooting boots. He had many shooting opportunities, but he failed to seize them.

It seems that Balotelli's condition today is not ideal.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Yi would let Balotelli slowly find his feeling on the top. But it really didn't work in today's game.

Southampton is in urgent need of goals now.

So, Sun Yi could only say sorry to Balotelli. In the second half, he had to be replaced.

Who should replace Balotelli, who has the most offensive ability in the team?

Sun Yi set his sights on Rebic and Adriano.

Rebic is still good, and he performed well in the games that Sun Yi sent him to play. But his characteristics are somewhat unsuitable for the current emergency.

Therefore, Sun Yi could only set his sights on Adriano.

Adriano has not played much since the start of the new season. And his performance is also average.

However, there is one good thing about Adriano. He has never complained about his lack of playing time. He has always tried his best to do what Sun Yi wants him to do. This is also what Sun Yi values ​​most about him.

Thanks to Adriano's own efforts, Adriano's strength has been restored to A-level, and his condition is still good.

More importantly, Sun Yi saw an extremely strong desire in Adriano's eyes.

With this desire, there is no need to worry about his performance after he comes on the court.

So Sun Yi said to him: "Warm up immediately, you will be on the court later."

"Yes, boss!" Adriano shouted loudly and turned around and rushed out to warm up.
