Extraordinary coach

Accepting Evergrande's offer of Wei Shihao was entirely because Sun Yi, as a Chinese, wanted to do something for Chinese football.

Otherwise, Wei Shihao's ability would not be qualified to join Southampton.

Southampton is no longer a weak team in the Premier League, but a super team that has dominated the Premier League for two consecutive years and won five championships.

Without B-level strength and at least A-level talent potential, he is not even qualified to join Southampton as a marginal player.

In fact, according to the standards of Chinese players, Wei Shihao is very good in both strength and talent potential.

With B-level strength and B+ level talent potential, he is really a rare player among Chinese players at this stage.

But with Wei Shihao's strength, he can only be a substitute player in the Southampton team.

Of course, Wei Shihao is one of us anyway. Although he is not strong, Sun Yi will try his best to give him a chance to play.

Considering that Southampton has to fight on at least four fronts, there are indeed plenty of opportunities to play.

Soon, Wei Shihao successfully joined Southampton.

For Wei Shihao's arrival, Southampton fans love him and welcome his arrival.

But this matter has a completely different meaning in China.

After all, Wei Shihao is only 24 years old, unlike Wu Lei, who is already 27 years old and has no potential.

When seeing Wei Shihao really join Southampton, the whole of China was boiling.

"Wow!!! Wei Shihao actually joined Southampton."

"Being able to play under Sun Yi, who is known for his picky and wise eye, Wei Shihao has simply ascended to heaven."

"At the same time, it also shows that Wei Shihao has unparalleled talent and potential."

"As both are offensive players, do you think Felix is ​​better? Or is Wei Shihao more awesome?"

"I think Wei Shihao is actually better than Felix..."

"With Sun Yi here, Wei Shihao might be able to suppress Felix and become the star player of Southampton."

"..."

Seeing that the Chinese people actually compared Wei Shihao with Felix, Sun Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

One had to pay a penalty of 120 million euros to buy.

The other only spent a symbolic 1 million euros.

Can they really be compared?

Sun Yi was really speechless.

However, since Wei Shihao joined Southampton, the domestic media has flocked to Southampton like crazy.

Sun Yi could see many domestic media and Chinese fans gathered outside the Southampton team base all day long, just to wait for Wei Shihao.

Seeing that, those who didn't know would think that Wei Shihao was a superstar of the level of Cristiano Ronaldo.

And Sun Yi himself was also bombarded by the crazy domestic media.

Every day someone came to interview him, and asked questions like "How strong is Wei Shihao?" and "When can Wei Shihao play as a main player?"

In addition, domestic media also asked Southampton players about Wei Shihao every day.

Sun Yi really couldn't stand such interviews from the media. At the same time, he also felt very embarrassed.

Damn, can you wait until Wei Shihao really kicks out before interviewing?

Can you wait until he has a wonderful performance before asking such questions?

Aren't you ashamed to ask these questions?

At the beginning, Sun Yi would say a few words of praise and encouragement to Wei Shihao during the interview,

but later he couldn't stand it anymore. Sun Yi said directly:

"Wei Shihao's strength is not up to the standard of the Premier League at present. He still needs to work hard to keep up with the team's rhythm."

"If there is a chance later, I will definitely let him play. But please don't have excessive fantasies. That will bring unnecessary pressure to Wei Shihao."

"For the development and growth of Wei Shihao, please give him a relaxed environment."

"Just watch him grow up slowly by the side! Thank you!"

In order to prevent other media from making such unreasonable troubles, Sun Yi simply put his true words on his Weibo.

Of course, a lot of words to encourage Wei Shihao must be added.

As for Wei Shihao himself, when he first arrived at Southampton, he still had a little arrogance that he was not convinced by others.

He really wanted to compete with Felix.

But after seeing that Sun Yi did not give him special treatment and after experiencing the team's internal training, he lowered his proud head.

Wei Shihao soon realized that he was just an ordinary player in Southampton.

Without Sun Yi's special care, he could only train hard like a marginal player in the team, try to keep up with the team's rhythm, and strive to get a chance to play.

Seeing Wei Shihao like this, Sun Yi felt very relieved.

Although he would not give him care during training, such as internal training matches, he would talk to him from time to time and give him some encouragement.

In addition, Sun Yi would also ask Kaka, Balotelli and others to give some tips from time to time. Although their positions are different, there are still many things to teach Wei Shihao as a misplaced offensive player.

In this way, Wei Shihao began to follow Southampton to prepare for the season.

With his own persistence and hard work, he has made rapid progress.

After a period of training with the team, although his strength did not surge due to his talent, he has also improved a lot compared to when Wei Shihao first arrived.

After all, Sun Yi couldn't pay too much attention to Wei Shihao. His main focus was still on the team's pre-season preparations.

After that, Sun Yi took Southampton to participate in the annual International Champions Cup.

This International Champions Cup still has a Chinese zone, and Southampton was arranged in the Chinese zone without exception.

After all, the International Champions Cup is just a warm-up game. For the main players like Ronaldo and Kaka who have almost run-in, Sun Yi basically arranges substitutes and marginal players to play, except for the necessary appearances.

In this way, new players such as Vestergaard and Malang Sarr got a lot of opportunities to play.

Especially Wei Shihao, who returned to China, besides super stars like Ronaldo and Kaka, he is the player that Chinese fans want to see the most.

So Wei Shihao got the opportunity to play almost every game.

It is said that this is a warm-up game, and the opponent will not send a large number of main players to play, and everyone's situation is similar.

Wei Shihao does not seem to be low in level, and occasionally has a good performance.

Although there are ups and downs, Sun Yi found from the game that Wei Shihao is a brave and hardworking guy with a big heart.

But sometimes his heart is too big and he can't control his temper.

For Chinese football, Wei Shihao is really a talent.

In this regard, Sun Yi has an extra intention to cultivate Wei Shihao.

As a human being, Sun Yi is inevitably selfish.
