Extraordinary coach

"I've reminded you, why is it still like this?"

Guardiola was so annoyed that he wanted to scratch his head, if he had hair.

Since Kaka came on the field, he has been wary of Southampton's trick, but he didn't expect that it would succeed in the end.

Guardiola was really angry and even wanted to curse.

But he saw the players on the field with their hands on their waists in frustration, and even took a few deep breaths.

A little later, Guardiola regained his composure. There was no expression on his face, as if the loss of the ball did not affect him.

"Sun, you succeeded this time. But you finally played all your cards."

"Next, there is nothing to worry about. Let's fight!"

Guardiola glanced at Sun Yi who was celebrating excitedly, and then began to speak to the players on the field with a calm face.

"Hey, cheer up."

"Now everyone has made their cards clear, just fight them to the end."

"Look up at the stands and listen to the fans."

"Blue Moon fans are watching you and cheering for you. Shouldn't you cheer up?"

"Shouldn't you let them down?"

After hearing Guardiola's words, the Manchester City players couldn't help but look at the stands.

And the captain De Bruyne on the field also began to boost morale.

"The boss is right. Blue Moon fans are watching us. And this is our home court, we can't let them down."

"We have to believe in ourselves. On our turf, we can beat anyone. We can even score goals."

"Come on, brothers. For the team, for the fans!"

Under the double encouragement of De Bruyne and Guardiola, the Manchester City players began to show a firm look on their faces.

"That's right. Come on!"

"Beat them!"

"For the team!"

"For the fans!"

...

Sun Yi, who had finished celebrating, was surprised to see the Manchester City team shouting and cheering each other up.

"It seems that the next game will be more intense."

As Sun Yi thought, the next game became more intense than ever.

The morale and confidence of the Southampton team, which scored a goal and took the lead, naturally needless to say.

And Manchester City burst out with amazing fighting spirit after being inspired.

With the support of spiritual beliefs, Manchester City played better and better.

Especially their offensive performance, the fighting power that burst out was simply amazing.

The wave-like offensive constantly hit the Southampton team's defense.

If it weren't for the tenacious performance of the back line led by Van Dijk, I'm afraid it would not be able to defend immediately.

But even so, the pressure on Southampton's defense is getting greater and greater under Manchester City's crazy attack.

Especially Manchester City is still focusing on Sarr's side, which makes others need to constantly support Sarr to keep him from collapsing.

In order to relieve the pressure on the back defense, Southampton was also forced to invest more defensive energy. As a result, it had to cut down on the offensive investment.

Manchester City not only exerted their strength in attack, but also went crazy in defense. They fought desperately and ran desperately without sparing their physical strength.

Such defense forced Southampton's original idea of ​​continuing to work hard to be temporarily shelved.

"Come on! Manchester City."

"Goal!!"

Seeing Manchester City's fierce attack, the home fans in the stands also cheered for them like crazy.

The tsunami-like shouts resounded throughout the Etihad Stadium. It also covered the shouts of Southampton fans.

In the stadium, only the voices of Manchester City could be heard everywhere.

This situation made Southampton begin to experience what it means to be away from home.

The white-hot situation on the field also made Sun Yi, who originally felt that he had won the game, unable to sit on the bench.

He came to the sidelines and encouraged the players loudly.

"Hold on!"

"Van Dijk, pay attention to protecting Sarr's back. Arnold, you should also pay more attention to the right side. Don't let them sneak attack."

"Kaka, you have to attack too. Be more resolute."

"Especially Zinchenko. Attack him!!"

The meaning of Sun Yi's words is very clear, that is, to compete with Manchester City in offense.

The weaknesses of both sides are at their respective left backs. Now everyone is holding on to this point of the other side, that is, to see who has better offense. Who can hit the opponent's soft spot first.

Sun Yi has absolute confidence in Southampton's offensive firepower.

As long as Southampton can score one more goal, the game will be basically stable. Manchester City will completely collapse because of this.

Seriously speaking, Manchester City's defense line is also the top in the Premier League. Although there is no S-level core like Van Dijk sitting in, once they fight hard, they are also very difficult to deal with.

Southampton did follow Sun Yi's request and attacked Manchester City's Zinchenko. And it really created a considerable threat.

But Manchester City's defensive players were too tenacious.

Perhaps they could not stop Southampton from getting the ball into their penalty area, but they always used almost bullet-proof defense to resolve Southampton's threats again and again.

This situation also caused the game to fall into a stalemate again.

Everyone was attacking frantically, fighting regardless of the risk of injury, but for a while they could not score a goal.

Since Southampton was in the lead, it was more advantageous for them to maintain a stalemate.

But the game was so intense that the Southampton players didn't care about whether they were in the lead or not.

Everyone was attracted by the game, and many people were so nervous that their palms were sweating.

"Oh my god! This game is too intense."

"I don't know what will happen in the next second of the game. I dare not blink."

As the game progressed, not to mention the fans, even Sun Yi couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.

In the intense game, the players' consumption was undoubtedly huge.

Soon, the players on both sides began to show a significant decline in physical fitness.

Therefore, the rhythm and intensity of the game had to be slowed down.

The first one who couldn't hold on was Sarr, who was being attacked throughout the game.

After destroying the ball under Bernardo Silva's feet out of bounds, Sarr had cramps.

"Bertrand, it's your turn."

Sun Yi had been preparing for this situation. Seeing that Sarr had cramps, he immediately sent Bertrand, who had already finished warming up, up.

Soon after, Sarr was replaced.

Looking at Sarr walking down slowly, Sun Yi immediately went up to give him a hug.

"Good job, Sarr."

"Thank you for your hard work. Now you should have a good rest and leave the game to others."

Sun Yi was really satisfied with Sarr's performance. This 20-year-old kid performed so well. It even exceeded Sun Yi's requirements.

It can be said that Southampton can still maintain the lead until now, entirely because Sarr withstood Manchester City's desperate attack.

If it wasn't Sarr, but the original Bertrand, Sun Yi felt that he might not be able to bear it.

As for sending Bertrand up again now, Sun Yi didn't have anything to worry about.

Everyone fought for most of the game time, and they were basically tired at this moment. Bertrand, who was full of energy, was a little weak, but he should be able to hold on for the next twenty minutes.

The next few defenses also proved this point.

The great consumption of physical energy made Manchester City's threat no longer as great as before. Bertrand, as a fresh force, defended well.

Not long after, Manchester City also began to suffer cramps.

Manchester City was a little worse than Southampton, because two of them had cramps.

One was Kyle Walker, who had been desperately resisting Ronaldo's impact.

The other was Zinchenko, who was strongly attacked at the beginning of the second half.

One of these two is the right back and the other is the left back, which means that Manchester City has written off two wing defenses.

Guardiola also immediately sent people to replace the two full-backs who have been working hard today.

He replaced Kyle Walker with Cancelo and replaced Zinchenko with Angelino.

"Damn, this bench is really drooling!"

Looking at Manchester City's substitutions, Sun Yi couldn't help but feel a little envious.

The highest level of players sitting on the bench of the Southampton team is only A-level.

Manchester City can still send out A+ Cancelo. In addition, there are several A+ players sitting on the bench, such as Jesus.

From this point of view, Southampton is still not as good as Manchester City on the bench. That is, the main lineup is stronger.

However, in time, when the bench players of Southampton grow up, they will not lose to the bench of Manchester City.

After Manchester City made substitutions, the biggest weakness is still the left back.

The new Angelino is not as strong as Zinchenko.

So,

"Don't care who they replaced, keep attacking all the way!" Sun Yi shouted to the players.

Guardiola said the same thing on the Manchester City side.

But as the game continued, Manchester City began to fall behind.

After Angelino came up, although he was a fresh force, his strength made him unable to withstand the successive attacks of Kaka and Felix.

With Arnold coming up to join the attack from time to time, Angelino really couldn't stand it.

Therefore, Manchester City's offense was restrained and they couldn't launch the attack wholeheartedly.

The defense couldn't hold up, and the offense was also restrained, so Manchester City gradually fell into a disadvantage and it was inevitable.

"Okay, that's it. Keep going!"

Sun Yi excitedly applauded the players on the field for this.

"Haha, Sun, the situation is getting more and more favorable for us now. In addition, we have a one-goal lead, I feel that this game is sure to win."

Dio said excitedly.

"That's right." Sun Yi nodded.

He thought so too. Judging from the current situation, Southampton still has a slight advantage on the field.

However, if it weren't for his previous strategy that allowed Southampton to take the lead. He didn't dare to say how confident he was now.

On the Manchester City bench, Guardiola fell into silence. And his brows were furrowed.

The situation on the field is obviously not favorable for Manchester City now, and he must come up with a way to change all this.

After thinking hard for a while, Guardiola finally made a decision.

"I don't want to lose this game, so I have to give it a try."

"Sane, get ready to play."

"Sun, they are going to play Sane." Dio reminded when he saw the situation.

"This is their last substitution. Guardiola is giving it his last shot." Sun Yi said with some seriousness.

Guardiola's substitution gave him a feeling of going all out.

This was the last desperate effort.

Sun Yi fell into thought. He also had the last substitution.

Guardiola's approach made him also have the urge to make a substitution.

Substitution? Or not, keep it just in case?

If substitution, should it be a striker? Or a defender?

Guardiola had no choice but to make a desperate move, but Sun Yi had multiple choices.

This made him hesitate for a while.

Sometimes, too many choices make it difficult to choose.

After thinking about it, Sun Yi finally decided to stay still. This is safer.

Soon, Sane replaced Bernardo Silva and started the game.

Sane came on the court, because Southampton had a slight advantage in the situation, and he did not create much threat in a short period of time.

This made Sun Yi feel a lot more at ease. It was decided to keep the last substitution quota.

The game continued. With Sane's appearance, everyone knew that Manchester City was going to fight to the death.

Therefore, the entire Manchester City team attacked like crazy.

Southampton naturally strengthened its defense.

And because Southampton can also create a lot of threats from Angelino in offense, this effectively relieves the pressure on the defense.

This situation made the game still stalemate.

It seems that Guardiola's substitution failed.

As the game time passed, the game slowly came to an end.

When the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign for 4 minutes of extra time, Dio and others smiled.

"It's the last few minutes, and we will soon return to Southampton with victory."

The Southampton fans in the stands were also very excited.

"Haha, the extra time has started. The game will be over soon. We are going to win."

"Nah, why do we need 4 minutes of extra time? There are no injuries. This extra time is a bit long."

"It doesn't matter. What's the matter with a few more minutes? With the strength of our team, victory will only belong to us."

"..."

Watching the time enter the extra time, everyone began to feel that the game was a foregone conclusion.

Even Guardiola himself was a little desperate.

Especially when the game time entered the last minute of extra time, Guardiola even began to think about how to give an explanation after losing this game.

And at this time, Manchester City suddenly made a long pass from the backcourt to Sane. Then Sane relied on his ability to fight Bertrand's foul when he attacked the Southampton penalty area.

"Beep!"

Foul.

Manchester City's frontcourt free kick.

"I copied it!!"

Sun Yi immediately jumped up from his seat nervously.

"Damn, won't the effort fail at the last minute?"

Seeing De Bruyne standing in front of the ball, Sun Yi had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, De Bruyne then scored a world-class free kick to break the Southampton goal.

This was not the first goal De Bruyne scored against Southampton, and Sun Yi couldn't remember which one it was.

He only knew that Southampton was tied.

"Maybe this is fate!"

"It's Manchester City's fate!"
