Extraordinary coach

"Then let's see the truth in the game!"

Stop talking nonsense. The champion will ultimately be determined by real strength. Sun Yi didn't want to waste energy on useless things.

Time passed day by day, and soon, it was the day of the game.

The Champions League final was held at a neutral stadium.

This year it was held at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid.

The neutral stadium is really a bit annoying for Southampton fans.

They have so many people, but they can only occupy half of the number.

Fortunately, the Wanda Metropolitano is big enough to accommodate 70,000 people. The number of 35,000 is about the same as St. Mary's Stadium.

On the day of the game, tens of thousands of Southampton fans had to stay outside the stadium.

As the biggest winner, British fans are still happier than others. No matter what the final result of the game is, the Champions League champion will only belong to the Premier League.

The most depressed may be the local fans in Madrid.

Whether it is Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, they can only watch others pack up the championship in their own territory.

"We must introduce strong reinforcements next year. Our great Real Madrid team should not take a vacation early."

Real Madrid not only participated in the finals three times in a row, but also won the final championship. This time, they can only watch others cheering and happy, which is depressing.

The fans of Real Madrid feel like they have eaten lemons, and their mouths are full of sourness.

"This year's Premier League is really lucky. Two Premier League teams will meet in the final."

"Especially Southampton. The luck is as good as a cheat."

"Maybe their luck will fall this time. I hope Liverpool will win the championship."

"I really don't want to see Ronaldo's villain's success. I sincerely wish him to get injured halfway through the game."

No matter how sour and unhappy the fans of Real Madrid are, Southampton still stepped into the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium under the leadership of Sun Yi.

Meeting again, there is no need to say more about the grievances between the two teams and the grievances between Sun Yi and Klopp.

Sun Yi did not waste time talking to Klopp, and just let the game witness everything.

"Come on, Liverpool! We need a champion!"

"Southampton, must win. There is no championship that we cannot win."

The fans of both teams, who were equally numerous, immediately started to compete with each other in the stands with shouts. However, it was impossible to tell the winner in a short time. But it also lifted the atmosphere of the game.

Under the cheers of the fans of both teams, the players of both teams lined up and slowly entered the stadium.

After entering the stadium, Sun Yi's eyes lit up when he looked at the Champions League trophy placed at the entrance of the player's passage.

"The highest honor of the club, you will soon belong to me."

"I'll take this championship!!!"

Sun Yi was not talking to himself, but said it openly.

Klopp also heard it and frowned.

Sun Yi did not care what others would react after hearing it. This was his real thought. He also had enough confidence to win it.

This is the last step of the five-time champion's great cause, and he will not let it slip away no matter what.

You know, he has something to rely on today.

Balotelli and Pulisic, who had previously returned from injury, have almost recovered. Casillas, who had previously injured his palm, also returned in time, which allows Southampton to use a full lineup to play against Liverpool.

The return of these people is Sun Yi's greatest confidence, and it also allowed him to arrange a 433 formation today.

Ronaldo, Balotelli and Pulisic form the front trident.

Paulinho, Kaka and Romeu form the midfield.

The back line is composed of Van Dijk and Pavard as the core of the defense.

For the goalkeeper, Sun Yi chose Casillas to start.

Compared with Foster, who is relatively ordinary in all aspects, Sun Yi believes more in Casillas, who has seen countless storms.

This is the starting lineup. In the substitute list, Sun Yi put in quasi-main players such as Prowse, Golovin, Rebic, Adriano and Bolt, who rarely made the match list for several months.

"Wow! Southampton's strongest lineup! Including the hidden substitutes, they are the most useful and characteristic."

"Look at Southampton's lineup, even Adriano and Bolt are there, this is definitely a must for the championship."

After seeing Southampton's match list, many football people and commentators from various TV stations were amazed.

After seeing this situation, Klopp's brows also frowned slightly.

"Adriano is indeed there. Well~ Bolt also appeared on the bench. This guy's speed~ terrible, I actually ignored him."

"Sun, this guy let Bolt out, so he will definitely be sent to the field at some stage. He is too fast, what should I do?"

"I have to think carefully about how to deal with Bolt's appearance."

Klopp also arranged Liverpool's strongest lineup today. The formation of 433 is also used. Mane, Firmino and Salah together form the front trident of Liverpool.

This three-man front line is Klopp's biggest reliance. He is confident that this combination is definitely not inferior to the front line of Southampton. Therefore, his idea today is to focus on offense.

It was just that Bolt's appearance made him suddenly realize that his pre-match preparations were not good enough.

This forced Klopp to start thinking hard about good strategies before the game started.

Soon, before Klopp could think of a countermeasure to deal with Bolt's possible appearance, the game started with the referee's whistle.

After all, this game was the most valuable Champions League final, and it was held in an unfamiliar neutral stadium, so both sides were cautious.

After the game started, both sides were not in a hurry to attack, and they were also very careful when fighting.

This made the early stage of the game seem slow and the confrontation was not fierce enough.

There was no shot in the first five minutes of the game.

After these few minutes of initial adaptation, the game started to get fierce and the rhythm was also accelerating.

After the rhythm of the game started, both sides began to strengthen their investment and determination in attack.

"Bang!"

Southampton took the lead in shooting and created some threats.

"Bang!"

In less than half a minute, Liverpool returned the favor.

After these two shots, the pace of the game suddenly accelerated a lot.

As soon as Liverpool's attack ended, Southampton launched an attack at the fastest speed. And it was very resolute.

The rapid advancement and passing cooperation quickly allowed Southampton to attack the half court. Later, Ronaldo received Kaka's lob pass at the front of the penalty area and made a sideways volley.

Ronaldo's kick was very beautiful, but unfortunately the angle was a bit right and was saved by Alisson.

"Attack!"

Alisson quickly kicked the ball forward with a long pass.

Salah, Firmino and others rushed forward as fast as possible. After getting the ball, they immediately attacked the Southampton goal.

"Bang!"

After a series of wall-to-wall cooperation, Salah received Firmino's pass and shot.

But Van Dijk stretched his legs to block it, and then Casillas confiscated it.

"Good!"

Although the threats caused by the attacks of both sides were relatively limited, the rapid attack and defense conversion and the resolute offensive attitude of both sides made the fans excited.

"The real game begins!"
