Extraordinary coach

"yeah!!!"

"We're ahead! We're ahead!!!"

Klopp was so excited that he shouted and punched the court. It looked like he scored the goal.

"Ha ha!!!"

Klopp felt very happy. At this moment, he felt that the world was so beautiful.

Everything I've endured over the past few months has been worth it.

"Sun, did you see that? We are ahead of you."

"This time, we will definitely get back everything we lost!"

In his excitement, Klopp couldn't help shouting at Sun Yi.

Sun Yi frowned slightly when he heard Klopp's words directed at him.

Then he said calmly: "It's so funny. Is the game over? No?"

Sun Yi also turned to look at Kaka and others next to him.

"No." Kaka and others shook their heads.

"That's right. Klopp's appearance of winning the game is really pitiful."

"I finally took the lead once, and I'm so happy. Sometimes I think it's quite pitiful. Our Southampton team doesn't give them a way to survive."

As Sun Yi spoke, he looked at the excited Klopp over there with pity.

Sun Yi's understatement immediately dispelled the worries of those around him.

"Yes. They are really pitiful." Kaka and others turned around and thought about it, and felt that it was true.

The championship has been swept away by Southampton in recent years. Southampton is like a mountain weighing on the hearts of Manchester City, Liverpool and other teams with championship ambitions.

It was so heavy that they could hardly breathe, but they were unable to move away.

It's not easy to score a goal first, and I am as happy as the Chinese New Year.

Thinking about it, the Southampton team couldn't help but feel proud. I also became more confident.

Being one goal behind is a pity for them. Let them be happy first.

"Hmph, you are tough! We will definitely beat you today." Klopp felt a little unhappy when he saw that Sun Yi and others were calm and even looked pitiful.

"All games last for 90 minutes."

After saying this, Sun Yi turned around and stopped talking to Klopp. Instead, he was thinking about countermeasures.

His heart was not as calm and indifferent as he appeared on the surface. That's just the basic skill of being a head coach.

In this situation on the court, Sun Yi also began to feel the pressure.

If he didn't come up with a way to deal with it, I'm really not sure what the outcome would be if this situation continued.

As Kaka and Diaw said before, today's Liverpool team's tactics are really a bit like Southampton.

Sun Yi naturally knows the Southampton team's tactical system best. You can see the problem, but it's not that easy to deal with.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yi couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

Therefore, he can only give some encouragement to the players on the court verbally. No other adjustments were made.

In this way, the Southampton team can only play according to the previous tactical arrangement.

Fortunately, they did not lose confidence because they fell behind by a goal. One goal won't break their mentality.

As long as the mentality is normal and the tactics are played normally, Southampton can create a threat.

The Liverpool team is a little different.

Although this goal was an own goal, it completely stimulated them. Let their morale skyrocket. At the same time, the momentum is also rising.

"attack!"

"Let's get another one in!"

"If we can lead by one, we can lead by more!"

"Now is the time for us to wash away our shame. Attack!!"

Liverpool's attack was more determined and fierce than before. Especially the momentum, it looked like he could swallow up the Southampton team in one fell swoop. It can be said to be quite terrifying.

And this also makes their offense more threatening. It also put more pressure on Southampton's defense.

Under Liverpool's offensive, Southampton gradually fell into a disadvantage.

As the game progressed, Southampton really fell behind. This allowed Liverpool to gain more offense and create a greater threat.

Once, Liverpool almost scored again, but fortunately Mane's shot missed.

This situation is quite dangerous for the Southampton team.

Fortunately, this situation was not maintained for long. The first half was over before Southampton could hold on.

"Oh, what a pity. Southampton dodged a bullet."

"If given a few more minutes, we could definitely score another one."

The end of the first half made the Liverpool team feel quite regretful. They felt they missed an opportunity to kill the suspense of the game in one fell swoop.

It can be seen from the reactions of the Liverpool team that Southampton was at a disadvantage in the first half.

After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi saw that the players were in a bad mood. Morale is not as high as before.

We must find a way!

Sun Yi thought so in his heart. This idea is not to motivate the players, but to respond with tactics that can turn the situation around.

If this situation continues in the first half, I am afraid Southampton will not have an easy time in the second half.

"What are you doing? Where is your confidence?"

Sun Yi decided to boost the morale of the players first. Then think of ways to solve the real problem.

"I felt uncomfortable playing in the first half." said Ronaldo. He looked very dissatisfied with the first half.

"Yeah. I felt the same way."

"Yes. It was really uncomfortable."

Other players echoed.

"Yes!" Sun Yi nodded. "It was uncomfortable for me to watch."

"Do you know why we felt so uncomfortable?"

"." Ronaldo shook his head.

"They are copying our tactics."

"Copying?"

"Yes, it is a copy. It is the copy that many people outside say that we Chinese copy others."

"Hehe." Hearing what Sun Yi said, many players couldn't help laughing.

Sun Yi did not laugh, but continued seriously:

"But don't underestimate Liverpool. As we Chinese say, it is to learn from each other's strengths and learn from the opponent's advantages. Now Liverpool has learned our advantages and used them against us. Think about it carefully, isn't it?"

"Huh~ Really! During the game, I didn't feel very familiar. Now I think about it, they actually copied our tactics." Pavard, who scored an own goal, slapped his head and said with sudden realization.

"Yes. I have the same feeling." Van Dijk agreed.

"How is our tactics? You should know it best." Sun Yi said.

"Yes. But this will make it difficult. Our tactics are not so easy to deal with." Ronaldo frowned.

"Yes. This is our strongest weapon to sweep all opponents!" Kaka nodded.

Speaking of this, many players frowned even more.

Some players who couldn't think of a way to deal with it couldn't help but scold Liverpool for being shameless.

But at this time, Sun Yi's eyes lit up. Kaka's strongest weapon reminded him.

Southampton's entire tactical system is the team's strongest weapon. Just like Barcelona, ​​their strongest weapon is the KITI-KATA tactic.

And to bring out the power of the strongest weapon, the key is still people.

Just like in the past two years, after Xavi and Iniesta were gone, Barcelona still used the same tactical system, but it no longer had the same dominance as before.

But Southampton is different. Although Kaka, who best understands the team's tactical system, has retired, there is still Felix to take over.

And the strongest striker of Southampton's tactical system is still there, and the striker led by Ronaldo is still the strongest in the Premier League.

It can be said that Southampton's strongest tactical system is bypassing the defense zone, but the strongest point is on the striker.

As for Liverpool, whether they copied Southampton's overall tactics or borrowed some of them. It is definitely impossible to do what Southampton did.

As long as Southampton does a good job and fully exerts its characteristics. No matter what happens to Liverpool, Southampton will have an advantage.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi really gained confidence. So he laughed confidently: "Haha."

"Boss, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, Liverpool is stupid! I'm laughing, Klopp will cry next! Haha."

"Uh, why?"

"I ask you, with the same tactics, who is stronger? Who can play more powerful?"

"Of course it's us."

"That's right. Then what do we have to worry about? As long as we play well, how can they be our opponents? Do you know what they are called? Showing off one's skills in front of an expert. Well, I'll change it to something you can understand, that is, Klopp is showing off his skills in front of Maradona."

"Klopp dares to show off his skills in front of Maradona, isn't that asking for trouble?" The players immediately understood when they heard it, and they all laughed.

With the players' laughter, the momentum of the entire locker room was different. Everyone's mood also improved.

Seeing this, Sun Yi was very satisfied, and continued to say: "In the second half, we will attack with all our strength. Ronaldo, you have to use our tactics. Let them see what the real tactic of bypassing the defense zone is like?"

"No problem. We will definitely let them see it."

"Van Dijk, Pavard, you guys have to keep an eye on the defense for me. If they use our tactics to score again, we will be laughed at."

"Understood, boss. We will definitely defend well." Several defenders replied loudly.

Especially Pavard, gritted his teeth and said: "If I let them score, I won't go back."

Uh~ It seems that they didn't score in the first half!

Hearing this, Sun Yi couldn't help laughing in his heart. However, he didn't point it out.

"We Chinese have a saying, those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die."

"Boss, this sentence sounds very philosophical. But what does it mean specifically?" A player asked in confusion.

"It means that in the second half, Liverpool is doomed!"

"Oh. Got it. Liverpool, we will definitely beat them."

"Right."

Later, the halftime break ended and both sides returned to the field.

Back on the field, Liverpool was still full of confidence, and everyone was talking and laughing, looking very relaxed.

After Sun Yi's encouragement and adjustment during the halftime break, Southampton's mood was also much better. It was a big difference from the end of the first half.

Seeing this, the Liverpool team didn't care.

"It seems that they adjusted well in the locker room."

"But it's useless. We will beat you in the second half as well."

The first half of the game really gave Liverpool great confidence.

And soon, they started the second half of the game with Southampton with this confidence.

After the game started, Liverpool still maintained the tactical style of the first half. And it was still very threatening.

But the players of Southampton no longer felt great pressure.

"Humph, it turned out that they copied our tactical style."

"You really think too much if you want to beat us with this."

Southampton also began to devote themselves to the offense.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the whole team presses forward to attack, but while doing a good job of defense, the offensive players in the front and middle fields can safely let go of their hands and feet to attack.

In addition, Southampton also began to constantly play the tactic of bypassing the defense zone.

In this way, the audience also saw the strange phenomenon on the field.

"Hey, it's so strange, why do I feel that the two teams play similarly?"

"Yes. I think the two teams play very similarly."

"Look, the two teams just used almost the same offensive method."

The two teams' similar tactics are constantly displayed on the field. If you don't look carefully, you will think that the same club is conducting tactical drills.

For a while, the two teams not only played a bit stalemate, but also went back and forth, creating similar effects.

In this case, there is no difference in a short time.

However, as time goes by, differences begin to appear.

For similar tactics, Liverpool naturally cannot do better than Southampton.

Even if they have been preparing for all this since last season, it is impossible.

After all, Southampton has used this tactical system for several years, and its proficiency and fluency are not comparable to Liverpool.

In addition, Southampton has a superstar like Ronaldo who can play a key role. The effect they play is still better than Liverpool.

And as physical fitness declines, Liverpool's offensive effect is worse than Southampton.

This situation also allowed Southampton to slowly regain their advantage. They began to have an advantage in the situation and offensive data.

"Did you finally find out? Hey, our effect is still not as good as it is!" Klopp also realized it from the situation on the field.

"But fortunately, we are still leading. This is our chance to win this game."

As soon as Klopp finished speaking, the Southampton team on the field scored a goal.

After Pulisic's attention on the right, he passed the ball back to Felix, and then Felix directly moved to the left. After getting the ball, Ronaldo shook off the easy one-on-one, and then blasted the ball into the Liverpool team's goal.

1:1.

The two sides tied.

"Oh, SHIT!" Klopp, who was just celebrating his team's lead, couldn't help cursing.

Ronaldo's goal completely ignited the Southampton team.

Next, the Southampton team, which had completely regained its confidence, began to bombard fiercely.

Unfortunately, Klopp adjusted his tactics at the first time. He even changed players to strengthen the defense.

Liverpool, who obviously strengthened their defense and did not show a significant drop in morale, were still very tenacious.

They played very hard with the support of the home fans. This allowed them to withstand the fierce attack of Southampton. And until the end of the game, Southampton did not score again.

The score of 1:1 was maintained until the end.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Sun Yi was not only regretful.

However, he also discovered the secret of Liverpool in this game. This can also be regarded as a gain.

Next time, Sun Yi is confident that the result will never be like this.

"Klopp, see you next time!"
