Extraordinary coach

This match with Bristol City well demonstrated the power of the bypass tactic.

Sun Yi was really happy. Moreover, after this match, he found an additional tactical ability "Bypass the Defense Zone" under the tactical area of ​​the system.

Before, Sun Yi only had the tactical ability "Mourinho Counterattack", but now he finally has another one.

Looking at the tactical area that is no longer lonely, Sun Yi was quite moved. It is really not easy to increase tactical ability.

And Sun Yi watched carefully and found that "Bypass the Defense Zone" is somewhat different from "Mourinho Counterattack", and it is actually growth-oriented.

The current "Bypass the Defense Zone" is only elementary. There is also an experience slot. Sun Yi estimates that as long as the experience slot is full, it should be able to upgrade.

Looking at the detailed description, the current role of "Bypass the Defense Zone" is in positional warfare. It can improve the overall technical and tactical level of the team by 120%.

Since this tactic was realized by Sun Yi himself, he knew that this 120% effect means that the team can exert more than 20% of the normal offensive firepower.

Just in the initial stage, the team can increase its power by 20%. Sun Yi couldn't help but look forward to the effect of the upgraded "Bypass the Defense Zone".

Next, Sun Yi also found that the experience value of "Bypass the Defense Zone" can be improved in training. This made him focus on training Southampton in the future.

And it happened that there would be no strong opponents in the next few games, which was undoubtedly a very practical opportunity.

Three days after the League Cup, Sun Yi took Southampton back to the home court to welcome West Brom.

In his own home court, coupled with the fact that West Brom's strength was not very good. Sun Yi not only continued to require the team to mainly implement the "Bypass the Defense Zone" tactic in the game, but also boldly rotated several players.

After all, a tactic not only requires the main players to use it well, but also the substitutes need to use it skillfully.

For the game against West Brom, both the outside world and the Southampton team knew that there was no suspense in this game.

But West Brom was unwilling to accept such a fate. With the match against Bristol City, West Bromwich Albion knew that Southampton had made some tactical changes.

In order to get points, West Bromwich Albion did not hesitate to deploy the bus in this match.

The bus deployment is currently the best defensive tactic in football.

West Bromwich Albion thought that deploying the bus would have a good result. They thought that even if they could not get a draw, at least they would not lose the ball easily.

But they fell behind in the first half.

Although the bus deployment is a very dense formation, there is always a defensive focus in actual operation. As long as the direction is attacked, more troops will definitely be concentrated. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of troops in other directions.

Southampton just caught this point after using "Bypassing the Defense Zone".

You should know that "Bypassing the Defense Zone" is different from large-scale transfer passes, with faster operation speed and more changes.

West Bromwich Albion can resist once or twice, or even three or four times with the bus deployment tactic, but if it is more than five or six times, they will always be unable to bear it.

Throughout the game, West Bromwich Albion was always playing defensively, but Southampton still scored another goal in the second half.

In the end, Southampton won the game 2-0 without any surprises.

Having won the opponent twice in a row with a new tactical system, and now it is a Premier League team, this has made the players of Southampton more and more confident in the new system.

After winning West Bromwich Albion, Southampton soon ushered in the tenth round of the Premier League.

Southampton's schedule during this period is really good. The opponent in the tenth round of the Premier League is also not very strong. It is Brighton, which is as strong as West Bromwich Albion.

And Brighton is still more advantageous than West Bromwich Albion because they are playing at home this time.

The opponent's strength is similar, but playing at home will undoubtedly bring more trouble to Southampton.

Really, don't underestimate playing at home. A home advantage can provide a team with a huge competitive bonus. Even a relegation team can often play nearly twice as strong as away at home.

Therefore, although West Bromwich Albion was completely defeated by Southampton, when it was Brighton's turn, the outside world believed that they might not lose.

"In recent games, Southampton has shown great tactical changes. But this change is still too unfamiliar. Obviously, they cannot play their full strength."

"At home, Southampton only won two goals against a weak team like West Bromwich Albion. This time, it will not be so easy to win against Brighton away."

"Perhaps, a draw will be a more likely result."

But the result of this game was still Southampton's victory.

Like the game against West Bromwich Albion, Brighton also adopted the tactic of parking the bus to deal with Southampton. And with the bonus of their home court, they played better and more motivated than West Bromwich Albion.

But the result was no different from West Bromwich Albion. Both were scored by Southampton in the first and second half.

It was still a 2-0 victory.

Brighton was also easily defeated, which made the outside world begin to pay attention to Southampton's new tactics.

Soon, Southampton ushered in another round of opponents.

This time, they played against Burnley at home.

Burnley is different from the previous teams. Burnley has improved a lot this season. At present, they have achieved very good results and ranked in the upper-middle position of seventh place.

This ranking well illustrates the strength of Burnley.

And they also clearly attach great importance to Southampton's new tactics and have made special arrangements for it.

But they still stay at the level of dealing with large-scale transfer balls.

Even if Burnley also put up a bus, they are still unable to stop Southampton's attack like the previous opponents.

And with several actual games, Southampton's players on the field have become more and more handy with this new tactic.

So, Burnley was unfortunately beaten 3-0 by Southampton. Lost more than the previous team.

After winning this game, Southampton also achieved five consecutive Premier League victories. If the League Cup is included, it will be six consecutive victories.

This is the longest winning streak that Southampton has achieved since Sun Yi took over.

In addition to the winning streak, Southampton also successfully surpassed Manchester United and climbed to second place in the Premier League standings with this series of victories. They began to eye the first place Manchester City.
