Extraordinary coach

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!!"

"..."

In the following game, the pace became faster and faster, and the confrontation became more and more intense. What was even more exciting was the crazy increase in the number of shots from both sides.

It was as if both sides suddenly started to press the shooting button frantically.

There was no shot in the first four or five minutes, and once this shot appeared, it appeared continuously in the next three or four minutes.

"Come on! Southampton!"

"We have the best forward combination. There are Ronaldo, Balotelli, and Pulisic. We are invincible!"

"Liverpool's defense is absolutely unstoppable."

"Attack with all your strength and crush them!!"

The fans of the Southampton team shouted wildly. They believe that the Southampton team's forward line led by Ronaldo is the best forward line in the Premier League and no one can stop it.

As if in response to the fans' calls, Southampton team created an extremely threatening attack next.

Unfortunately, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was in good shape today and blocked Balotelli's high-quality violent shot from the goal.

"Wow! Alisson!!! Great save!!!"

"With Alisson here, Southampton will not be able to score today. No matter whether it is Ronaldo or Balotelli!"

Alisson's save made Liverpool fans very excited.

They were not the kind of people who would just take a beating and not fight back, and they immediately shouted in unison.

"Attack. Return them with a goal!"

Liverpool was also very confident today. They also launched an attack immediately.

Their attack was well organized and very fast. It made Southampton's defense very difficult.

In particular, they also seized the weakness of Southampton's wing defense that was not as good as the middle, and Salah attacked desperately.

"Salah was in good shape today and brought us too many threats. If we don't contain him, the trouble will get bigger and bigger."

Seeing Salah holding the ball and launching an attack from the wing again, Dio said worriedly.

"You are right."

Sun Yi nodded. Bertrand was guarding the left side of Southampton. He was only A-level, and he was defeated by Salah, who was A+ and close to S-level.

In fact, before the game, Sun Yi and the coaching staff arranged Paulinho to assist in defense.

In positional warfare, the effect was OK. But this time, he was counterattacked, and Paulinho, who went forward to participate in the attack, failed to return in time. Bertrand alone could not stand up to Salah.

"How about letting Pavard defend Salah?"

Sun Yi felt that Pavard had A+ level strength, and with his ability of "tapping you without negotiation", he might not be able to completely freeze Salah, but he would not be easily blown up by him.

Before, the reason for not making such an arrangement was that Pavard had always been a central defender. He was afraid that he would not adapt.

"Okay. Let Bertrand go to the middle to assist Van Dijk, and there should be no big problems in the middle." Dio nodded.

"Okay. That's how it's arranged."

Sun Yi was going to let the players make adjustments after he had taken down Liverpool's attack.

This adjustment was not something Sun Yi thought of on the spur of the moment. It was one of the plans he had prepared before the game. Now that he saw that he really couldn't take down Salah, he made the change.

Sun Yi had tried this approach several times in the battle simulation, and the effect was pretty good. Sun Yi was still quite confident.

However, Sun Yi didn't get the chance to make adjustments, but instead got an unexpected one.

In Liverpool's attack, Salah cut inside quickly to get rid of Bertrand and shot near the top of the arc. Pavard fell to the ground in time to block it.

Pavard blocked Salah's shot, but unfortunately the ball hit his hand.

The referee on duty blew the whistle immediately and pointed to the penalty spot.

"I stole it!!! Penalty?!!"

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment and immediately shouted to the fourth official.

"We want to see the video replay!!"

This is the Champions League final after all. Although the referee was decisive, the video referee team still replayed the situation for the first time.

Looking at the replay on the big screen above the court, Sun Yi shook his head helplessly.

Pavard did handball. His arm was not close to his body at the time, which slightly increased the defensive area.

It can be seen that Pavard was unintentional, but he couldn't escape the penalty.

"Next, we can only rely on Casillas. I hope he can save the penalty!"

After confirming that the penalty was fine, all the people on the Southampton team could do was pray.

Salah took the penalty himself.

And the quality of the penalty he took was really too high. The absolute dead corner made Casillas judge the direction correctly, but he was unable to stop the ball from flying into the goal.

GOAL! ! ! !

Zero to one.

Southampton fell behind.

"Yeah!!! Goal!! Salah's penalty is in!"

The Liverpool fans were instantly excited.

And Klopp was so excited that he punched Sun Yi's fist wildly on the sidelines to celebrate. "Yeah! Yeah!!!!"

"Leading!!! My team is ahead of you!!!"

Sun Yi could only shake his head helplessly. No one can do anything about such a penalty.

And seeing Klopp's crazy look, Sun Yi was still very calm. He was ahead, so he had to be allowed to be happy.

In his heart, Sun Yi was also calm. He had thought about the situation of falling behind before the game and had developed a plan to deal with it.

It was just that he didn't expect the way he fell behind.

"Mo Salah. Mo Salah!!!"

"..."

After cheering, all Liverpool fans shouted Salah's name.

Later, they also sang the "Salah Song" that was familiar to almost the entire Premier League.

Listening to "Salah Song", Dio's face was a little complicated. "Salah has grown into what we hoped for back then. Unfortunately, he is now our opponent's player."

Sun Yi patted Dio on the shoulder and said, "Some things can't be forced. And we now have better players. Ronaldo."

Dio nodded. "I just saw that he used a goal to make us fall behind, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional."

"Our players are no worse than Salah, and some are even better. Our players will soon make this unfavorable situation disappear."

"Yes. Our boys will definitely do it."

When both sides were ready to restart the game, Sun Yi walked to the sidelines.

"Haha, we're behind, you finally got anxious!" Klopp smiled brightly when he saw Sun Yi coming to the sidelines to make a speech.

"Next, are you going to launch a massive counterattack?"

"It would be fine if you didn't let us get ahead. Now that we're ahead, I won't give you any chance. I'll leave you disappointed!"
