extraordinary coach

Chapter 566 Almost lost to Camp Nou

"Oh!! Mbappe!!!!!!"

In the midst of Mbappé's sliding and kneeling, the entire Camp Nou boiled.

The cheers of the Barcelona fans flooded the stadium like a tsunami.

"1:0, we are ahead!"

"See? This is our Barcelona team. This is our true strength!"

"."

Even falling behind at this time, Sun Yi shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

Southampton's performance has just started to improve, and this is scored, which will deal a big blow to the team.

"This is a big trouble." Dior said very worriedly.

"It's okay. It's only one goal behind, and no one can die." Sun Yi comforted.

Now Southampton's whole team is frustrated with confidence.As a coach, you can't show lack of confidence.Also pretend to be calm.

Following that, Sun Yi walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players calmly.

"It's okay. Take it easy, everyone."

"Don't worry about being behind. Calm down. Let's hit the tee off. Don't go to their pace."

Sun Yi's appeasement still played a lot of role.

Seeing Sun Yi's calm appearance, the players also felt a sense of peace of mind.

Seeing Sun Yi's face reminded them of countless previous matches.

Thinking of the countless victories, they felt that their confidence was returning.

Later, Mbappe celebrated and the game restarted.

After the restart, the Barcelona team was obviously stimulated by the goal, and the morale of the entire team became even higher.The momentum is also stronger.

In front of the imposing Barcelona team, Southampton's offense after the re-kick-off was ineffective.

Next, the Barcelona team's offense was also very amazing, creating a huge threat again.

"boom!"

Looking at Mbappe's shot that hit the post, Sun Yi couldn't sit still.

He knew he couldn't go on like this.Otherwise, a first half would have cost Barcelona the game.

And if you continue to play like this, you will definitely not see the Southampton team cheering up.Will definitely be scored again before the team really lets go.

So, Sun Yi made a decision.

"All recovered, only Balotelli left for halftime."

"From now on, change to the No. [-] tactic!"

Southampton's No. [-] tactic is to defend and counterattack.

In the current situation, to say it is a defensive counterattack is just a nice way of saying it.Sun Yi's real meaning is actually no different from setting up a bus.

What Sun Yi wanted was to carry it over.Carry over this extremely unfavorable first half.

He needs halftime to adjust the whole team.

In this game, Southampton can only look forward to the second half.

"Southampton shrunk. They shrank!"

"Haha, Southampton are nothing in front of our attack."

"Keep attacking and score a few more! It's best to let the game lose its suspense in the first half!"

Seeing Sun Yi signal the Southampton team to shrink and strengthen their defense, the Barcelona fans were instantly happier.

Those who support the Southampton team are very depressed to see this situation.

"What are you doing, how did the Southampton team play like this today?"

"Is the strength of the Southampton team just an illusion?"

"Looking at Southampton's performance from the start to what it is, it's not at the same level as Barcelona."

"Southampton were really disappointing today."

"."

Sun Yi knew that changing his original tactics to a defensive counterattack in front of the Barcelona team was no different from admitting that his skills were inferior to others.This is sure to disappoint supporters.

But in Sun Yi's view, disappointing the fans is better than completely losing hope for the Southampton team.

And Sun Yi's tactical adjustments also quickly received results.

At his request, the Southampton team is wholeheartedly defending.

After Cristiano Ronaldo and other frontcourt players basically put most of their energy into participating in defense, Southampton's defense has been greatly strengthened.

In addition, due to the contraction of the whole team, their defensive strength in the backcourt is also stronger, and the personnel positions are denser.

The effect achieved in this way is that the Southampton team's penalty area is full of people, and the space in the backcourt has become much narrower.

On the football field, whether it is passing the ball or making a breakthrough, space is needed.

This space is small, and the tactical cooperation of the Barcelona team is not as smooth and comfortable as before.

More importantly, the performance of the Barcelona front trident has been greatly restricted.

Especially Mbappe, who mainly relies on his speed advantage.Without space, no matter how fast he is, he can't play it.

In this way, the offensive threat of the Barcelona team has been greatly limited.

In addition, for the Southampton team, two players or even more people can be used to defend a goal.

This makes up for their defensive ability that cannot be fully utilized due to psychological pressure.

Under such circumstances, although the Barcelona team has completely grasped the situation on the field, their offensive threat is not as good as before.

The Barcelona team kept attacking Southampton's defense, but in the face of the dense defense, they couldn't do much.

This makes the Barcelona team have an absolute advantage in the number of attacks for a long time to come, but they can create fewer threatening shots.

As the game progressed, the Southampton team, which really felt less defensive pressure, began to stabilize the mentality of the players on the field.

They feel more and more comfortable with this game.My heart is more relaxed than before.

This kind of psychological change made their hands and feet no longer as stiff as before.

As soon as this movement was stretched, the performance of the Southampton team generally improved.

Seeing such a situation, the Barcelona fans were upset.They started booing Southampton incessantly.

Especially when the Southampton team is not eager to attack forward after taking the ball, and can only choose a long pass over the top to attack forward.

"Come out! Southampton."

"Are you turtles? You know you are hiding in the restricted area."

"Didn't you say you want to be the greatest team? It's not great at all to shrink like this."

"I have already won seven crowns, and I dare not come out to fight against us. This is very embarrassing, you know?"

"China Sun, you shit tactics master, you are a bus driver!"

"Southampton, you are the coach team!"

"."

Barcelona fans are constantly lip-shaming Southampton.

But Sun Yi didn't care at all.Even if he heard the ridicule, he was still unmoved.

With Sun Yi unmoved, the Southampton team could only stick to his tactical requirements.

And this situation also made it impossible for the Barcelona team, which was trying to score more goals, to realize their ideas.

Until the end of the first half, under the tenacious defense of the Southampton team, the Barcelona team failed to score again.

In the end, the two sides could only enter the locker room with a score of 1:0.

After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi found that the morale of the team was a bit poor.

Also, it is a shame for the proud Southampton team to be behind and rely on defense to avoid being stretched.

Of course Sun Yi didn't want to do this.Who wants to be ridiculed as a "bus driver" by a dignified "seven crown" coach?

But there is no way.The overall state of the Southampton team today is really bad.

Although at the end of the first half, the Southampton team was getting more and more into the game.

But the competitive state of most of the players is far worse than the previous game, even worse than the players of the Barcelona team.

Obviously, the negative BUFF of the Devil's away game is still affecting the entire Southampton team.

"cheer up."

"Everyone relax. As long as we play at our true level, we will definitely not be in the same situation as in the first half."

"We have the strength to beat them. Even here in Cannop, we can beat them."

"So what if they have [-] to [-] fans? We have more. Remember, at this moment, hundreds of millions of fans are watching you and cheering for you. Although you can't see them at the scene . But they do exist."

"In order not to disappoint the fans, cheer me up for the second half!"

"."

Sun Yi tried to motivate the players with words, but after he encouraged them, he felt that the effect was not very good.

Seeing the team's low morale, Sun Yi could only sigh secretly.

Verbal motivation doesn't work every time.

Hey~ I can't help it, it seems that I can only use my golden finger.

In fact, Sun Yi has a lot of golden fingers on his body.But he is also a proud man.

With the current strength of the Southampton team, after winning the 'seven crowns', Sun Yi is really reluctant to use his golden finger.

It's impossible to see the situation now.

What Sun Yi is going to use is "Turntable of Fate".Since he cheated Ronaldo last time, he hasn't used this golden finger for a long time.

Now, he can only hope that he won't be tricked again.

"The turntable of fate, turn it!"

Sun Yi said a word silently in his heart.

Soon, the results came out.

If you don't go, you won't be cheated.

It's just that it was not the offensive player Sun Yi hoped to be transferred to, but the defensive core Van Dijk.

The effect is: Next, Van Dijk will become hot in the game.

A defensive player is in hot form, and the benefits this brings are relatively limited.In the second half, what Southampton needed was to attack.

Still, something is better than nothing.

Van Dijk's condition has improved, at least Southampton's defense will become more secure.In that way, the Southampton team can also devote more energy to the offense.

Well, that's acceptable too.

The defense is guaranteed, and the next thing Sun Yi has to do is to let the Southampton team mobilize their offensive firepower.

When Sun Yi activated "Turntable" in his mind, he closed his eyes and remained silent.This froze the momentum in the locker room.

The players didn't know what he was thinking, and felt a little uneasy.

Next, the players discovered that when Sun Yi opened his eyes again, there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.And the whole person looks more confident than before.

That state is exactly the same as when Southampton had an absolute advantage in the first half in the past.

This feeling, I don't know why, the players feel that their hearts are also getting hot after watching it.

After scanning the players around, Sun Yi said with a firm face, "In the second half, let's start attacking. Attack with all our strength."

"Kaka, go warm up now, and wait for you to play."

Kaka's state is obviously better than the too young Felix.He didn't seem to be affected by the away atmosphere after a long battle.

"Okay. Boss, I will leave the team's offensive organization to me." Kaka solemnly responded and went to warm up.

"Van Dijk." Sun Yi then set his sights on Van Dijk.

"Head."

"In the second half, the team's defense is up to you. When the team is attacking, the defense depends on you and the other defenders."

"Don't worry, boss. Just leave it to me." Van Dijk patted his chest and promised.

After the guarantee, Van Dijk still felt a little strange.

In fact, in the defense in the first half, he was under a lot of pressure.Although he has the strength of S-level, he is also very hard to defend against the repeated attacks of Mbappe and Messi who are also S-level.

To say that he is confident, he really couldn't guarantee it before.

But at this moment, he felt that he suddenly felt particularly confident.I also feel that the whole body is full of strength.

Strange, why do I feel like my condition has suddenly become better?

"I believe you will do it." Sun Yi said confidently.

Not long after, the intermission was over.

Both sides returned to the field.

For Southampton, Kaka replaced Felix.The Barcelona team did not make substitution adjustments.

In the second half of the game, at the beginning of the game, the Barcelona team thought that the Southampton team would still put the bus and booed there.

After discovering that the Southampton team did not, but aggressively attacked, I was immediately happy.

"Great, the Southampton team finally stopped shrinking."

"Our chance has come, keep scoring goals! Score more!"

The Barcelona team was looking forward to it, thinking that they had another chance.

But they soon discovered that the Southampton team, which had invested a lot of energy in offense, was no worse defensively than when the team retreated in the first half.

Driven by Van Dijk's shovel and strong block, the Southampton team defended the defense very firmly.

The strong performance of the defense also boosted the morale of the Southampton team, allowing them to attack with more confidence.

Under the dispatch of Kaka, an old Jianghu, Southampton's offense began to play.Started to create a real threat.

And this also restrained the Barcelona team, preventing them from attacking unscrupulously and frantically.

But the Barcelona team is in really good shape today.They also did a very good job defensively.

This allowed the Southampton team to create some opportunities, but they failed to score.

In any case, Southampton's offense has improved, and it has also made the scene come and go.

It just froze.

As the game progressed, the stalemate was not very beneficial to the Southampton team.After all, they are behind.

But after 10 minutes passed, the offensive of both sides slowed down significantly.

After eight or 10 minutes of the game, the offensive of the two sides was even worse.And it gives the feeling that neither side can attack.It is very likely that this game will end with the current situation.

In this situation, the Barcelona team can barely accept it.

"Hey, it's a pity that Van Dijk was drawn. If it was Ronaldo or Kaka, he should have a chance to score."

Sun Yi was helpless.Ending the game in such a situation, the Southampton team can only go back to prepare for the second round with a disadvantage.

However, to Sun Yi's surprise, near the end, Southampton got a corner kick.

Van Dijk overpowered Pique in this corner kick and smashed the goal of Barcelona with a header.

1:1.
Relying on Van Dijk's header, Southampton equalized the score.

A few minutes later, Southampton also escaped a loss.

This made Sun Yi very happy after he was relieved.

"Van Dijk, you are indeed the number one central defender in the world! Haha."
