Extraordinary coach

The Tottenham fans who were afraid of losing did not dare to go to the scene to watch the game, which made the Southampton fans very happy.

These extra away tickets were naturally bought by the Southampton fans.

This also made the fans wearing Southampton uniforms in the stands of St. Mary's Stadium more than before on the day of the game.

Although there are still many determined Tottenham fans who come to the scene to support their team. But they are obviously at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers.

There is almost only one voice in the air above the entire St. Mary's Stadium, that is, the voice of Southampton fans.

"Southampton, must win!"

"St. Mary welcomes you, Tottenham. We have prepared the best meal for you to enjoy. And you only need to pay the lowest consumption."

"We are Southampton, only 90 minutes away from the final!"

"..."

The slogans of Southampton fans are getting more and more arrogant now.

Hearing the fans' slogans, Sun Yi smiled and nodded: "Such slogans are arrogant enough, I like them!"

"Here at St. Mary's Stadium, we have to be arrogant. This is our territory. If we are not arrogant, what kind of home court is it?"

"Go on, guys! Go kick their asses!"

Sun Yi waved his hand and let the Southampton players go on the field.

Defeating the opponent and advancing to the final is the basic purpose of the game. But Sun Yi's main purpose is to enjoy this game.

With a complete lineup again, he is confident that he can fix any opponent at St. Mary's Stadium.

Facing the game with an enjoyable mentality will make him win happier and more comfortable.

In this way, the Southampton team, with extremely high morale and momentum, went on the field and prepared to do a big job.

And the Tottenham team is much worse in momentum. However, in terms of morale, it is still okay. At least, you can still see the fighting spirit in the eyes of the players on the field.

"Oh! Well trained!"

Sun Yi still admires Pochettino for being able to train the Tottenham team like this.

What impressed Sun Yi the most was that Pochettino actually put Kane, the absolute core of the Tottenham team, on the bench today.

"Gosh, Pochettino is bold today!"

For this, Sun Yi couldn't help but give Pochettino a thumbs up.

Pochettino's operation really requires a lot of courage.

The Tottenham fans who saw the starting list immediately scolded Pochettino.

"What is Pochettino doing? I haven't heard that Kane is injured! Why is Kane sitting on the bench?"

"Is Pochettino crazy or stupid? In such a crucial game, he actually put the core of the team on the bench."

"Don't tell me that he did this to win the game."

"It's over, it's really over this time. If I had known this, I would have been like everyone else and not come here to watch the game. Not only did I waste money in vain, but I also had to suffer."

"..."

But Sun Yi really admired Pochettino's approach.

I don't think Pochettino's approach will bring huge benefits to the Southampton team. On the contrary, Sun Yi thinks that Pochettino's approach is correct. If he is the head coach of Tottenham, he will do the same.

This does not mean that Kane's level is very poor. His level is still very strong. Sun Yi still agrees that he is one of the top ten strikers in the Premier League.

But the problem is that the tactics that Tottenham has developed with Kane as the core are very unacceptable.

Such tactics are fine against ordinary teams. But once they encounter strong teams like Manchester City and Liverpool, it becomes the biggest disadvantage.

Strong teams have enough defenders to limit Kane, and then Tottenham's tactics with him will start to be blind.

Last season, and in the previous few encounters this season, Tottenham lost to such tactics.

And today, Pochettino replaced Kane with Lucas and partnered with Sun Xingmin as a double striker, which made Sun Yi feel quite amazing.

In Sun Yi's view, such an approach will not weaken the fighting power of Tottenham. On the contrary, it can stimulate the fighting power of other players of Tottenham.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi couldn't help but feel a little more pressure in his heart.

Perhaps today's game will not be as easy as imagined before the game.

Soon, after the grand entrance ceremony, the game officially began.

"Beep!"

With the referee's whistle, Southampton rushed to Tottenham's position and launched an attack on them.

With the advantage of home court, Southampton did not need to test at all. And their offensive was as turbulent as a wave.

This made the fans of Southampton excited.

"Come on! Take them away in one wave!"

However, Tottenham seemed very calm today.

Everyone knew that Southampton had a great advantage today, so they played very cautiously at the beginning of the game. Basically, they were defensive.

Although this tactic made Tottenham look like Southampton had a lot of advantages on the field, they stubbornly withstood the fierce attack of Southampton.

After gradually adapting to the offensive rhythm of Southampton, Tottenham also began to launch an active counterattack.

Although Tottenham Hotspurs were obviously playing a defensive counterattack today, they were very determined once they started attacking. And they mainly used quick attacks.

Especially the attacks led by Son Heung-min were really sharp.

Son Heung-min's style is completely different from Kane's. He is very energetic, especially on the wing. It is difficult to limit him with a single player.

Sun Yi sent out the main defenders such as Van Dijk and Pavard today, but Son Heung-min relied on his skills and speed to stir up trouble on the wing. He often creates killing opportunities after breaking through the full-back.

If it weren't for the fact that the defenders of the Southampton team did a good job in assisting and overall defense, it might have been possible for Tottenham to get one in.

Obviously, Tottenham's offense today was better than the last time at Wembley Stadium.

This surprised Tottenham fans. At the same time, it also made Tottenham's players more confident.

It made them play more and more confidently and more and more determined when attacking.

"Come on! Our offense is still very threatening."

"We have a chance to kill them!"

When the game came to the 20th minute, Southampton played a very threatening attack. But today's Tottenham did too well in this regard.

A high-quality shot from Ronaldo was blocked.

Since the ball did not go out of bounds and landed at the feet of the Spurs, they immediately launched a quick counterattack.

This time, the Spurs' counterattack was very quick, and they entered the 35-meter danger zone with just two or three passes. And because Son Heung-min broke through the wing and reached the top of the penalty area.

Today, Son Heung-min was really hot and scary. Van Dijk went up to intercept him, but he couldn't stop him. He was shaken by him, dodged the angle and shot.

"Bang!"

A powerful shot hit the far corner of the Southampton goal.
