Extraordinary coach

Wei Shihao's appearance really made Chinese fans happy.

Those who scolded Sun Yi for not giving Wei Shihao a chance to play in the European Super Cup before, this time all praised Sun Yi for his courage.

"I thought Sun Yi looked down on Wei Shihao. I didn't expect him to send Wei Shihao to play in this Champions League. It seems that we have wronged them."

"And you can see Wei Shihao's performance, which is obviously stronger than before. Various ball handling is more reasonable and more efficient."

"It seems that Sun Yi must have spent a lot of effort to cultivate Wei Shihao."

"This is very good. I believe that after this game, Wei Shihao will definitely get more and more opportunities to play."

"Keep working hard, Wei Shihao may become the main force of Southampton!"

"..."

A 20-minute appearance made domestic fans so happy.

Some people may not understand, but Chinese football has been rotten for too long.

Chinese fans haven't seen Chinese players in the Champions League for too long. Players from neighboring Japan and South Korea can often be seen in the Champions League.

Sun Yi also understands this emotion. In fact, he himself had a similar feeling.

But as a professional coach, he could not open a back door for Wei Shihao.

The reason why he gave Wei Shihao the opportunity to play in this game was mainly because this kid did not give up after his last public statement, but was training hard.

Sun Yi saw Wei Shihao's hard work and saw that he was getting more and more integrated into the team, so he gave him such an opportunity to encourage him.

It was because he arranged for semi-main players to play this time, and Golovin and others all started, so there would naturally be no complaints.

Another young player, Felix, got the opportunity to start.

Felix's performance satisfied Sun Yi very much. One attack, one assist, this is a perfect answer.

And Felix's performance also made Southampton fans praise Sun Yi's vision. They also said that the 120 million euros were absolutely worth it.

Looking at Felix's amazing performance and Wei Shihao's barely qualified performance, Sun Yi couldn't help but feel jealous.

It would be great if Wei Shihao had the talent of Felix.

If Chinese football can produce a player with such talent, Sun Yi is absolutely willing to give the greatest resources to cultivate him. He is also willing to take over the mess of the Chinese team.

Well, it’s better not to talk about other people’s children. It’s all tears if you talk too much.

After the first Champions League group match of the new season, Sun Yi gave the team a day off so that everyone could enjoy the scenery of Greece.

After that, Sun Yi took the Southampton team back to the UK.

A few days later, Southampton ushered in the next game.

However, it was not a Premier League game, but a League Cup game.

This is another not-so-important game.

Although it is an elimination game, because this is only the third round, the opponent is very weak, and there is no need to worry too much.

Sun Yi just used the next game as a training for young players.

So, Wei Shihao got the opportunity to enter the game list again.

Southampton’s opponent in the first League Cup game of the new season is still Fulham, which many people are familiar with.

Fulham is a well-known Premier League team to many fans. Unfortunately, they were relegated from the Premier League last season.

Relegated teams often lose many strong players, thus greatly reducing their strength. Fulham, which was relegated to the Championship, is no exception.

There are very few teams in the Premier League that can make Southampton play their best, let alone Fulham.

In the game against Fulham, Sun Yi did not even bring out a half-main lineup.

Sun Yi directly sent all substitutes to play.

There will naturally be no surprises in the end. Southampton's substitute lineup can easily beat the mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League. It is natural to beat Fulham, which was thrown into the Championship.

In this game, Wei Shihao got a chance to play again.

For selfish reasons, Sun Yi gave Wei Shihao half-time this time.

Wei Shihao is also OK. Although there are many mistakes, he is very positive and active. Not only did he have a successful breakthrough, but he also had a shot. Unfortunately, his shot could not become a goal, but only created some threats.

It was a decent performance.

Chinese fans were very happy again.

"Wei Shihao's performance this time was better than the last time. It would be great if that shot could score."

"If this trend continues, Wei Shihao may soon become a stable rotation player in Southampton."

Become a stable rotation player?

This topic, a reporter actually dared to ask Sun Yi.

Sun Yi could only say that people in China overestimate their players.

It is not so easy to become a stable rotation player in a team like Southampton that wants to dominate the football world.

With Wei Shihao's talent and potential, he should have a chance in a lower-level team, but he probably won't have such an opportunity in Southampton.

Sun Yi couldn't bear to break the expectations of Chinese fans. He didn't say that Wei Shihao had no chance at all, but just said that the Chinese media should give Wei Shihao a relaxed growth environment. Don't put too much pressure on him.

As for Wei Shihao, he himself did not cause any trouble to Sun Yi. It's just that too many media always give Sun Yi some ridiculous questions. It really annoyed Sun Yi.

As long as Sun Yi avoids the stupid media, it's fine.

But Felix, the little guy, gave Sun Yi some headaches.

It's not that he made trouble, nor that he performed below expectations. But that he performed beyond expectations.

In this game against Fulham, Felix scored another attack and an assist.

Such an outstanding performance made Sun Yi have to start considering whether to give him more opportunities in the league.

In particular, there are already many voices outside calling for Sun Yi to give Felix a chance to start in the Premier League next.

If Felix is ​​given a starting position, Kaka will have to come down. This makes Sun Yi difficult.

Felix's recent performance is indeed very good and amazing, but Felix's current strength has not surpassed Kaka.

One is the player he trusts the most, and the other is the team he is optimistic about. Sun Yi was really unable to make a decision for a while.

If Kaka had played in the first two games, Sun Yi could have let Felix start in the next Premier League game.

But Kaka has already rested for two games, so it is not good to let him sit on the bench again.

"Should I play Kaka or Felix? It's really annoying!"
