Extraordinary coach

Eliminated Benfica and successfully advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals.

This is a good thing worth celebrating.

After this game, Southampton can also relax. The next Champions League game will have to wait for a month.

Everyone thinks that Southampton can turn its attention back to the league.

Manchester City, Liverpool and other league competitors also feel a little more pressure.

However, Sun Yi did not put his main energy back to the league. Instead, he still focused on the next Champions League opponent.

Because Southampton will not encounter any opponents worth their full efforts in the next Premier League game in a short time.

Instead, the opponent of the Champions League quarterfinals has come out, and Southampton will face the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich, Sun Yi believes, is the strongest non-Premier League opponent in the Champions League at this stage except Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Because some other traditional Champions League teams have lost a large number of core players.

Paris Saint-Germain, which has lost Neymar and Mbappe, is Sun Yi's most ideal opponent.

Unfortunately, Southampton didn't meet.

Sun Yi knows the reputation of Bayern Munich very well. But Sun Yi doesn't know much about the true strength of this team because the two sides have never met before.

To be honest, Sun Yi really doesn't like to meet German teams now.

Ever since the last time he played against Leverkusen, Sun Yi has a particularly bad impression of Germany.

Sun Yi felt particularly disgusted when he knew about such behavior.

Although Sun Yi knows that football should be football, and sports have nothing to do with politics. But since the last incident, Sun Yi has a particularly bad impression of Germans.

Therefore, after knowing that the next opponent is the Bundesliga Bayern Munich team, he secretly determined to beat this opponent.

And it is necessary to win fiercely, and it is best to kick the opponent to the point of wanting to curse.

This makes Sun Yi study Bayern Munich whenever he has time, even if he has to wait for a month to meet again.

"I really hope to play against them soon. I can't help but abuse them!"

Although Sun Yi was waiting to abuse Bayern Munich, Southampton played smoothly in domestic competitions that he didn't spend too much time on.

First, after playing against Benfica, Southampton returned to the Premier League to play West Ham United.

Facing the Hammers, who were already rusty in Sun Yi's eyes, Southampton won without much effort.

Due to West Ham United's fierce playing style, Sun Yi focused his main energy on ensuring that core players such as Ronaldo would not be injured.

After the game, no players were injured, and Sun Yi was greatly relieved.

Next, Southampton played another FA Cup game.

The result was also smooth.

Not only did Southampton easily win and advance to the semi-finals, but the consumption in the game was not very large.

Turn around and Sun Yi led the team to play the next Premier League game.

Since it was just a very ordinary Everton team, Sun Yi didn't have to spend much effort to help the team win.

In this game, Southampton also won a big victory, and the consumption was not great.

And next, Sun Yi had to be more careful.

Because the opponent was no longer a weak team, but Arsenal, who had previously competed with Southampton for the League Cup.

Facing Arsenal, who could only "fight for the fifth place", Sun Yi did not dare to take it lightly.

After all, it was also a strong team with the opportunity to play in the European war, and it would be capsized if you were not careful.

Like the League Cup final, if Arsenal hadn't played Guendouzi in the second half, it would not be so easy for Southampton to win.

Therefore, Sun Yi still paid more attention to playing against Arsenal.

When the game started, Sun Yi saw that "Prince Gong" was starting again, and he immediately felt a little bored.

There was no suspense in the result of the game, and Arsenal lost very simply. 3:0, there was almost no chance of fighting back.

After the game, Arsenal fans were helpless.

"The current Southampton team is too strong. Let alone winning them, we can't even play against them in an exciting and intense way."

Sun Yi was also helpless. "I also want the game to be more exciting so that the audience can enjoy it more. But you just love 'Prince Gong' so much, I can't do anything about it!"

In this way, Southampton won the so-called strong dialogue more easily than expected.

At this point, all the games before Southampton's match with Bayern Munich are over.

In these games, Southampton won all of them, and they all won quite easily.

This situation with little consumption will allow Southampton to face Bayern Munich in a more ideal state.

Sun Yi was very satisfied and happy about this.

What made him even more satisfied was that the injured main central defender Pavard also returned from injury.

In the game against Arsenal, Pavard had already played.

In that game, Pavard performed well.

Although he has not yet reached the state before the injury, his state is recovering well.

This makes Sun Yi more confident about his idea of ​​dealing with Bayern Munich next time.

"Wait a minute, Bayern Munich. If I don't give you the minimum fee at home this time, I will write my last name backwards from now on."

Bayern Munich didn't know that it was on Sun Yi's blacklist.

To be honest, they are also innocent.

But there is no way. Who told Sun Yi that he was disgusted when he went to Germany to compete last time?

However, the unknowing Bayern Munich team came to Southampton with high confidence and morale.

Bayern Munich head coach Niko Kovac was very confident before the game.

"We came to Southampton this time with beautiful ideals."

"We are a team that wants to regain glory and we also want to win the Champions League again."

"So we will go all out to get a win."

"And I believe we can do it. Because we have the strength and confidence. Even if we fail to take away the victory from St. Mary's Stadium this time and escape unscathed, we are still confident."

Niko Kovac's words were full of confidence and good wishes for the future, but he didn't know what kind of team he was going to face.
