Extraordinary coach

Chapter 54 Winning Again

1:0.

With Balotelli's goal, Nice took the lead over Lille.

This made the fans of Nice fall into a sea of ​​joy.

"Yeah! Great. We are ahead. Haha. It was right to come to the scene to watch the game today."

"Great! Our Nice team is really good now. I like this team."

Sun Yi couldn't hear what the fans were saying, but he could hear the joy in the fans' shouts. He smiled proudly.

Those who once looked down on him and scolded him would eventually come to the scene to watch the game and cheer for his team. Five thousand people came today, and ten thousand people will come next time.

The game on the field resumed soon after Balotelli finished celebrating.

Although it was a blow to Lille to be behind by only one goal, it was impossible for them to surrender. Lille tried to counterattack after the restart, but was defended by Nice.

From then on, Lille failed to equalize the score until the end of the first half. On the contrary, Nice had several threatening shots, but unfortunately they failed to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, the first half ended with 1:0, and Nice, playing at home, temporarily took the lead.

Walking into the locker room with a one-goal lead, everyone on the Nice team seemed very relaxed.

After returning to the locker room with a smile on his face, Sun Yi applauded the players as soon as he got back to the locker room. "Well done, guys. Everyone played very well in the first half."

When the players heard this, they all smiled happily.

"Mario, you played very well in the first half. Especially that goal, it was very beautiful." Sun Yi then began to praise Balotelli.

"Yes." Balotelli smiled very happily, and his two rows of white teeth looked very bright.

"In the second half, keep it up. Try to score more goals."

"Okay. I will continue to score goals."

After talking about Balotelli, Sun Yi naturally couldn't miss another hero, Salah. "Salah, you also did very well. Keep playing like this in the second half."

"Yes."

Salah didn't need Sun Yi to say anything more. After a brief compliment, Sun Yi turned to the others and began to tell them what to pay attention to in the second half.

"We were ahead in the first half. Needless to say, Lille will definitely counterattack in the second half. So, at the beginning of the second half, we must do a good job of defense. Be careful not to give them any chances."

"John, pay attention to that Eder, his attack is very threatening. Pay attention to protecting Sarr."

"Sarr, you have to be careful not to kick easily, especially pay attention to your movements, and don't foul easily."

"Seri and Walter, you have to protect the defenders in front. Pay attention to sweeping, don't let them penetrate from the middle..."

Sun Yi gave instructions one by one, and the players kept nodding.

There was only a fifteen-minute break in the half, which was a bit long for the fans, but it was still too short for the team. After Sun Yi talked about the general strategy for the second half, it was over.

"Okay. Let's go and win our victory!" Sun Yi left the locker room first.

Back on the court, the second half of the game started soon.

After the second half, Lille not only strengthened its attack, but also replaced a winger, just like what Sun Yi said in the locker room.

According to Sun Yi's arrangement, Nice slightly contracted its formation after the second half to strengthen its defense.

Lille's offensive was fierce, and they always advanced from the wing before hitting their main striker Eder.

Lille chose Eder mainly because they saw the old and young central defenders of Nice. The old Terry was slow, and the young Sarr was too immature. No matter which one met Eder with B+ level strength, they would suffer.

However, Sun Yi dared to do this even though he knew that the opponent's Eder was very threatening, because he arranged Sarr, who was fast, to mark Eder, and let Terry protect him at any time. The complementarity between the two of them overcame their respective shortcomings, so as not to give the opponent any chance.

Eder had an advantage in one-on-one, but he was somewhat helpless against Sarr and Terry, who were in a corner defense.

Sarr and Terry may be the weakest link in Nice's defense. If there is no chance here, it will be even more difficult for Lille to find opportunities in other places.

In fact, when Sun Yi saw Lille's fierce attack, although he had expected it, he was still a little worried. When he saw Terry used his rich experience to protect Sarr well, he was completely relieved.

Ten minutes into the second half, Sun Yi began to cross his legs easily. At the same time, he turned to Dio and others with a serious expression and said with a smile: "We will win this game. Relax."

"Lille attacked so fiercely, and we are only one goal ahead. It's hard to say that we will win." Dio couldn't relax.

"They are just momentum, not substance. Although they attack fiercely, there are few real threats." Sun Yi said confidently.

"Don't worry. I believe our counterattack will start soon."

No matter how fierce a team's attack is, if it can't break the goal for more than ten minutes, it will basically begin to enter the stage of offensive exhaustion and confidence shaken.

Not long after Sun Yi finished speaking, before Lille showed any signs of weakening offensively, Nice seized the opportunity to launch a wave of Mourinho-style counterattacks.

In the continuous attack, Lille had already pressed their formation a lot without realizing it. When Nice launched a quick counterattack with Salah taking the ball, Lille's defense was immediately torn apart.

This time, Salah did not go through the defense alone. Instead, he dribbled past a player near the center line and then made a long pass to the left. Pléa, who happened to be there, seized the opportunity to run with the ball all the way, and passed it to the middle after entering the penalty area.

Balotelli in the middle tried hard to grab the ball, but unfortunately he failed to shovel the ball due to the interference of the opponent.

"Ah~" This made the fans of the Nice team feel sorry for it.

But at this time, another Nice player appeared at the back point.

It was Salah! He was like a horse that left the defender far behind, and quickly rushed to the penalty area to make a shovel shot.

The goalkeeper was powerless to do anything about it. Although he tried his best to save the ball, he could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

GOAL!!!!

"Salah!!!!"

"Yeah!!!" The people of the Nice team cheered and boiled.

"Am I right?" Sun Yi smiled and stood up and applauded.

"Haha. 2:0, this time we really win." Dio seemed very excited.

Next to the excited coaching staff, Sun Yi smiled calmly. He walked over and clapped hands with the coaching staff one by one, then sat back in his chair.

Then he said to Dio leisurely: "The victory is decided, you arrange for other people to go up and exercise."

"Okay." Dio smiled and nodded.

Hearing Sun Yi's words, Dong Fangzhuo next to him couldn't help but look at Sun Yi with expectation. When Sun Yi saw his eyes, he pointed at his belly. Dong Fangzhuo looked at his belly and lowered his head in disappointment.

After the score became 2:0, Lille's confidence in reversal was completely shattered. After that, they never made any waves again.

In the end, Nice won the game smoothly.
