Extraordinary coach

A Premier League title won in advance has restored the morale of the Southampton team.

Next, they can prepare for the match with Barcelona with all their heart and soul.

Before the second match with Barcelona, ​​Southampton will have another Premier League match.

However, after winning the championship in advance, this match is for the players of Southampton to enjoy the game.

So, next, Sun Yi took the Southampton team to Dean Court Stadium to enjoy the honor of being welcomed by the Bournemouth team.

Sun Yi asked several key players to go up and enjoy this honor.

However, after only playing half the game, he replaced several key players such as Ronaldo and Van Dijk.

Then he sent young players to experience the game.

The win or loss of this game is meaningless, and Sun Yi didn't care much. As long as the main players don't get injured and don't suffer too much consumption, it's OK.

After enjoying a game well. Sun Yi took the Southampton team back to Southampton.

Next, it's the second match with Barcelona.

With a pure warm-up match with Bournemouth, Southampton will be able to face the game in a better state.

Sun Yi is still very confident at home. He believes that his players will never be like they were at Camp Nou.

In his opinion, in this second match, almost all the advantages are on Southampton's side. If he can't win, he will be too ashamed to stay.

Moreover, Barcelona's situation is not as good as Southampton's.

Southampton is almost invincible in the Premier League. But Barcelona can't do it in La Liga, and they still have Real Madrid, an opponent that has also become much stronger this season.

Southampton won the league championship ahead of schedule, but although Barcelona just won a big victory in La Liga, it did not get rid of Real Madrid.

The ownership of the La Liga championship will have to wait until they finish this game and go back to compete with Real Madrid.

In addition, the last round at Camp Nou ended in 1:1, which actually meant that they suffered a hidden loss. Therefore, Barcelona's promotion situation is still not as good as Southampton's.

But Barcelona is still confident about coming to St. Mary's Stadium.

"It's a pity that we didn't win at Camp Nou. But we are confident that we can win at St. Mary's Stadium."

"Last year, we lost the chance to advance at home to Southampton. This time at St. Mary's, we have to take the victory back."

"With our strength, we can definitely do it."

"Southampton, wait, we will definitely beat you this time!"

Before the game, both the head coach and the players of Barcelona made a solemn declaration of victory.

In addition to their confidence and morale, they actually deliberately left themselves no way out.

In their words, this battle, if they don't succeed, they will die. They just want to win, as long as they successfully advance to the final.

With such determination, Barcelona came to St. Mary's Stadium with great vigor and vigor.

The importance and attention of this battle are self-evident. It is normal that the eyes of the world are focused on this place.

And outside, many people other than Southampton fans support Barcelona.

"Barcelona is the team with the most heritage and the greatest tradition. They deserve to enter the final."

"Especially when the other place in the final is likely to be Real Madrid, Barcelona should enter the final."

"The two La Liga giants, the two best teams in the world, meet in the final, which is the best event in world football."

Well, in terms of heritage and influence, Southampton can't really compare with Barcelona in the world.

It's not surprising that many people in the outside world stand on the side of Barcelona.

Sun Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

As long as they step on Barcelona to enter the final, the outside world will naturally stop talking about these things.

Soon, this much-anticipated game was held at St. Mary's Stadium.

In this game, both sides once again sent out their best and strongest lineups.

Due to the advantage of away goals, Sun Yi was still thinking about whether to park the bus.

However, he saw that the players had recovered from the Nou Camp after winning the championship and two games, so he gave up this idea.

In fact, Sun Yi's idea of ​​parking the bus was quite right.

Because at the beginning of the game, Barcelona launched a full-court press against Southampton.

It was a completely aggressive posture of taking the initiative.

Fortunately, as Sun Yi saw, Southampton was in good shape. With the blessing of the home court, they were not scared by the full-court press launched by Barcelona at the beginning.

Although they were indeed under great pressure, they still played very steadily.

They were stable when defending, stable when attacking, and very calm.

Such performance made Southampton look like a different team compared to the battle at Camp Nou.

With such a performance, Southampton naturally prevented Barcelona from succeeding.

This made the situation on the field evenly matched.

For a while, it was really hard to tell who was more likely to break the deadlock first, or even win the final victory.

The confrontation between the two sides was fierce, and the rhythm of the game was also very fast. This made the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides very exciting.

Every fan who followed this game almost forgot to breathe.

The only regret is that both sides attacked fiercely and opportunities appeared from time to time, but they never scored.

Until the end of the first half, no goal appeared.

For such a result. Although it was at home, it seemed not ideal. But Sun Yi was not nervous or anxious at all.

"Patience!"

This is Sun Yi's purpose for this game.

Southampton has an away goal, so they can be patient.

But Barcelona can't be patient.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona not only made substitutions, but also attacked with all their strength.

However, Sun Yi took this into consideration and asked Southampton to give up the attack at the beginning of the second half and played a defensive counterattack instead.

In this way, not only did it increase the defensive strength, but it also made Barcelona more and more anxious.

As Barcelona became impatient, their defense began to have more loopholes.

And this was seized by Southampton. After a successful "Mourinho counterattack", Ronaldo blasted Barcelona away.

1:0. With the advantage of away goals, Barcelona was even more anxious.

They had to score two more goals to turn defeat into victory.

But Southampton could not give Barcelona any chance.

After insisting on defensive counterattack for 70 minutes, seeing that Barcelona's physical strength declined and the offensive had to slow down, Sun Yi waved his hand and let Southampton attack freely.

I thought this would be an opportunity for Barcelona.

But later, Southampton took advantage of a free kick and Golovin scored another goal.

This directly announced the end of the game in advance.
