Extraordinary coach

"It's hard to believe that this is a man who is already 37 and almost 38 years old. Casillas' performance is not inferior to the younger Foster."

"I have to admit that Casillas is in good shape. He is fully capable of replacing the position left by Foster after his injury."

"Now, we can finally rest assured about the goalkeeper position."

"When Pulisic and others come back, Southampton will become stronger!"

Casillas' performance in this game was recognized by many people. Southampton fans couldn't help but be surprised at Sun Yi's vision again.

No matter whether it is a young or old player, as long as Sun Yi buys him, he can often perform at an amazing level once he is sent on the field.

This makes people have to marvel at Sun Yi's god-like operation in using people.

After this game, the Southampton team was completely relieved about the goalkeeper position.

It was just that McCarthy, who thought it was his chance, was a little depressed.

And Sun Yi also completely let go of his worries. He began to use Casillas boldly.

After only three days of rest, Southampton played again. The 23rd round of the Premier League, Southampton vs. Everton.

The schedule is still tight, but this time it is more favorable that Southampton finally returned to their home ground, St. Mary's Stadium, after four consecutive away games.

The happiest people are the fans of Southampton. After all, only a few people can go to the away game. Back at home, more people will come to cheer for Southampton.

"Southampton, must win!!"

The slogan full of confidence in winning finally sounded over St. Mary's Stadium after nearly half a month.

Fighting at home, Sun Yi didn't need to say much, just one sentence: "Guys, fix them for me!"

Then, Everton was in tragedy.

Although Everton has made great progress in this schedule and has been ranked seventh or eighth in the standings. But after all, the gap in strength with Southampton is based on grades.

Therefore, Everton tasted the minimum consumption provided by Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium bitterly.

Taking away the sadness of being scored three goals and losing three points - Everton went back crying. Only the jubilant Southampton people were left.

In this game, Casillas, who was once again appointed by Sun Yi to start, still performed very well.

Although Everton did not create many threats, almost every threat was suppressed by Casillas.

This excellent performance may be an occasional outbreak, but if it happened twice in a row, it can only be said that his strength has reached this point.

After realizing this, the Southampton team, whether fans or players, completely recognized Casillas.

In order to give Casillas more opportunities to run-in with the team, Sun Yi still let him start in the next FA Cup match.

The opponent is Stoke City from the English Championship. For such an opponent, Sun Yi will naturally not let too many main players play.

With a lineup that was almost entirely made up of substitutes, Southampton won without any surprise.

This was an expected victory, not worth being too happy about.

But Sun Yi was very happy. Because Golovin, who had been recovering from an injury, returned. And in this game, he performed well. With a little more time to adjust, I believe he will soon be able to recover to his pre-injury state.

This is especially valuable as the season is getting closer to the end.

This also makes Sun Yi more confident about the next game.

After three days of rest, Sun Yi took Southampton to the next game.

The time interval is still so short. Fortunately, after four consecutive away games in various events, they ushered in several consecutive home games.

In the next game, Southampton will still play at St. Mary's Stadium. And the opponent is Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace, a veteran Premier League team, is not considered a weak team in this season's Premier League. At least it ranks in the middle of the standings, and basically does not have to worry about relegation.

Due to the double matches in one week and the upcoming key battle, Sun Yi still rested many of the main players in this game against Crystal Palace.

However, Casillas and Golovin, who had just returned, were arranged by Sun Yi to start.

Sun Yi hopes to use the game to improve the status of these two people.

In home games, Southampton rarely disappoints fans. This game is no exception.

They won the game very easily and achieved the minimum consumption.

Sun Yi was particularly satisfied with this. Not only did the main players get a rest, the team also got three points as expected, and many non-main players were trained.

All this made Sun Yi feel that Southampton was getting better and better.

Casillas began to integrate into the team; Golovin regained his health and his status was steadily improving; Balotelli's suspension was over, and his status was also improving. After the game with Crystal Palace, Pulisic also recovered from his injury.

These are all exciting good news for Southampton.

It also gave Southampton more confidence to face the crucial game that was about to begin.

The second round of the League Cup semi-final.

Southampton played against Tottenham at home.

"Previously at Wembley, Tottenham failed to beat Southampton. Now that Golovin, Balotelli and others are back, Tottenham is doomed to lose."

"Tottenham, you are doomed to lose!"

"We will welcome you at St. Mary's, Tottenham. You are welcome to pay the minimum price."

"We will see a Tottenham team crying at St. Mary's!"

The increasingly better team conditions of Southampton have given fans more and more confidence. Countless Southampton fans began to threaten to make Tottenham leave in tears.

Before, Tottenham failed to beat Southampton at home.

This time when they came to Southampton's home court, they were really a little scared.

Knowing the situation of Southampton, many Tottenham fans couldn't help but lament.

"Damn it! Southampton's strength has begun to recover, and this time it's their home ground, how can we live like this?"

"This is impossible to play!"

"It's over, it's over! This time, our League Cup journey may end here."

"..."

Before the game started, most of Tottenham fans felt that the chances of winning were slim. So many Tottenham fans chose not to go to St. Mary's Stadium to watch the game.

Not going to the scene to be tortured is a wise choice.
