Chapter 871 The pressure of a professional coach

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that you still have such ambitions. You want to beat us to build an advantage, and even affect our performance in the next one or two seasons." Ji Ya said to Guardiola.

Guardiola shrugged his shoulders. He didn't say much. After all, Ji Ya should also know that if he was replaced, he would definitely do the same if he had such an opportunity.

A qualified head coach will of course do this when he has the opportunity to thwart his opponent.

This is not meanness, nor is it insulting.

Seeing that Guardiola acquiesced, Ji Ya nodded and walked into the player channel first.

"It seems that this guy also wants to fight us head-on in this game."

Thinking like this, Guardiola returned to his locker room, waiting for the players to return.

"Our tactics worked well in the first half of the game, but for a while later, we played a bit conservatively... After leading by two goals, Southampton started to counterattack. We should continue to attack and interfere with them at this time. In the second half of the game, we have to do the same. Our offense achieved good results in the first half. If we change our offensive tactics because of their counterattack, it will undoubtedly be a Give up! Got it? In a game like this, what we need to do is not be afraid!"

Guardiola waved his fist in the locker room and said that although his tactics are relatively safe, his own coaching style is relatively wild and very stimulating. For example, he often said in the locker room, " What would happen if Messi was on the pitch"...

This is like using the predecessor to stimulate the current one. Although it is a bit inhumane, it is sometimes very effective.

Sure enough, the morale of the Manchester City players was immediately inspired by them-Manchester City is still a newly formed team, Guardiola has only been in charge for the third year, and in the previous two years of competition, they did not He didn't win many honors, his performance in the Champions League was at the top eight level, and the league was suppressed by Southampton. Under such circumstances, Manchester City's players certainly have more fighting spirit and desire to confront.

But at the moment in the locker room of the visiting team, Ji Ya didn't give the players blood.

"It can be seen in the first half of the game. They just gave up possession of the ball to attack us, which made us suffer a bit. But if it is really a confrontation, we will not be afraid of them. Start from the midfield and quickly Initiate an attack, hit more behind, and give them a good look! After losing the ball, we will counterattack on the spot and press high... To put it bluntly, the characteristics of both sides are similar. If we compare this way, we will not be afraid of them!"

Ji Ya said this in the locker room, and the Southampton players nodded one after another. Indeed, this is the reason. The strengths of both sides are similar, and the players are also of a high level. Advantage, when launching an attack, it can also have an extremely good effect.

In the first half, the two sides scored a total of five goals, which did not seem to be particularly many, but in fact the two sides created many more opportunities.

If it weren't for the excellent defense of both sides, they would have sieved each other long ago.

The intermission time passed quickly, and the players from both sides played again. After they played, the Manchester City fans in the stands also gave out huge cheers.

During the intermission, the fans can also take a good rest.

"The second half of the game will start immediately! Both sides did not make substitutions! But this is also normal. Judging from the performance, the players of both sides really have nothing to criticize in the first half!"

"Manchester City led by one goal in the first half, but in terms of offense, they did not have much advantage! Southampton's performance was quite good overall. Although they seemed to be stunned by Manchester City at the beginning, but in the In the following time, they quickly completed the counterattack. From this perspective, in the second half of the game, it was Southampton who had the upper hand."

"Southampton's performance has been somewhat up and down since the beginning of this season, but they have performed quite well against strong teams recently. Both Chelsea and Real Madrid have lost at their feet. If this game can be given to Manchester City If we lose the first game of the season, then we can declare that Southampton will be back in contention for the league title!"

The commentators from all walks of life began to explain their opinions one after another, but it is obvious that the second half of the match between Southampton and Manchester City was more eye-catching.

An eye-catching game, the players certainly need to show better performances.

So after the start of the second half, the players on both sides immediately launched a fierce press and confrontation in the midfield!

These top technical players, at this time, started to work hard one by one, running, pressing, fighting...

Under such circumstances, the truly outstanding players are those who can complete offensive cooperation through their excellent skills and teammates.

After a period of confrontation in the midfield, Southampton took the lead in creating a chance. Cancelo, who advanced the assist, received a pass from Rodri and began to break through on the right. After attracting enough attention, he passed the ball Passed to De Bruyne on the side, De Bruyne dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area and shot decisively!

Ederson made a wonderful save, he quickly vacated sideways, then saw the ball coming, stretched out his hand to block the ball, and Laporte immediately made a clearance.

After being attacked by Southampton, Manchester City immediately launched a counterattack not to be outdone. The right back also launched an attack. Walker, who advanced at high speed, received a direct pass from David Silva on the right, and then The ball was passed from the sideline to the middle, and the follow-up seat B kicked the ball without stopping. The quality of this shot was also very high, but Mendy also made a wonderful save, flying the ball into the air and saving the ball. .

"The two sides are really not to be outdone! They can still play such a wonderful offense in such a press, and their overall level is really outstanding!"

In such a fast-paced confrontation, the fans are obviously the happiest and most vulnerable people. They will feel nervous and excited, and they will also feel a great sense of happiness because of the wonderful game.

On the contrary, the coach is the most painful person, because they will feel the most direct suffering when they are off the court.

So no matter how good the head coach is, they will always lose their composure when they are on the sidelines. Even the head coaches at the level of Ji Ya and Guardiola will do the same.

The pressure of a professional coach is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
