With Florenzi's transfer talks ultimately falling through, Nan Xiao was left with only two options left on the list for the right-back position, Lichtsteiner and Juan-Fran; Braitwell also split paths with Shen Chaobing, the former left Rome and then came to Turin, while Shen Chao and Lu Ying went straight to Madrid, Spain.

While Braitwell and Shen Chao were out on the road, Sunderland had another home game against Bournemouth at the weekend.

With Sunderland having played three away games in a row over the past month, fans who had been watching the stadium for a long time returned to the Stadium of Light this weekend with high enthusiasm to cheer on their beloved team.

In the stands of the home team, you can see the flags of many countries, the most numerous of which are the British flag, followed by the Brazilian flag, the Argentine flag and, no less, the Chinese flag.

The fans are constantly waving the flag in their hands, this is their duty in the stadium and their mission as the team's 12th man!

Sunderland are the favourites for the game, with almost all the media and magazines favouring them to get a big win in the game, while fans in attendance were hoping that their side could keep the pressure on the top seven teams alive with a win.

After a long period of recuperation, Argentine midfielder Dokal finally returned to the pitch and was included in the team's starting line-up for this game.

In the last few games, Nanxiao seems to have determined the main players in the backline, Mannone, Van Aanholt, Kolo Toure, Kirchhoff and Billy Jones The backline has become an ironclad option, and at the same time, Jedinac has always occupied a starting spot in the double midfield position, Rodwell and Elviti Nanshaw will choose one of them to enter the starting line according to the specific situation of the opponent, if the opponent is weak, he will choose Elviti, who is good at controlling the field and has a delicate long pass, If the opponent is clearly stronger than himself, he will choose Rodwell to strengthen the team's defense in midfield.

As for the arrangement of the midfield, Halilovic is basically the main force of the team, his skills and grasp of the offensive rhythm are Sunderland's great reliance, and Carlos's excellent performance has also grabbed a starting position, originally his playing order should be similar to Josh Murphy, but due to the return of Dokar, Josh Murphy's opportunity to play will be squeezed.

Finally, there is the striker, there is no need to repeat it, Defoe has always been the key figure of the team's attack, and all 15 league games have started to reflect Nan Xiao's extreme trust in him, and at the same time, Nan Xiao did not choose to strengthen the forward position during the winter break, which also indirectly shows his recognition of Defoe's ability.

In the 17th minute of the game, Halilovic won the ball in midfield, and after getting rid of the pressure of two opposing players in a row, he found the space between Bournemouth's central defenders and full-backs.

Halilovich, who provided an assist, did not stop his performance, although he was not developed in the La Masia academy, but he has a La Masia quality, his passing away is very similar to the Argentine star Messi, so Barcelona also hope that he can be Messi's successor in the future.

Nan Xiao also hopes that Halilovic can sign a transfer contract after the end of the loan, but from the current situation, it is difficult for Barcelona to agree to release him, unless the player himself wants to leave the team strongly, so Nan Xiao also wants to use the remaining six months of cooperation to be able to talk to Halilovic about his career.

Sunderland were in control of the tempo of the game after Dokar's goal, and although Bournemouth signed Wilshere on loan from Arsenal, he alone could not compete with Sunderland's dominating midfield.

There is a lot of phone call between Elviti and Halilovic, and Dokar on the left is also a good passer, so Sunderland's attacking focus is also relatively focused on the left side of the front; Nan Xiao's tactics are very similar to Tiki-taka in the heyday of Barcelona, as long as one person holds the ball, at least two or three teammates will approach him at the first time, so that even if the opponent takes a press, he can use the numerical advantage and the passing of a small space to easily defuse the danger; At the same time, Carlos wanders back and forth on the other side of the field, when the opponent's defensive center of gravity is contained on the opponent's right side, or Dokal, or Halilovic, or Elviti, he can always transfer the ball to the weak side of Carlos at the first time, at this time Carlos has a large open field in front of him, and his speed advantage can be maximized.

Sunderland re-entered just before half-time when Halilovic burst into the box after a back-to-back collision with Elveti and Dokar, and before the goalkeeper could attack, he crossed to the goalkeeper and set up the latter's goal to score an empty goal to give Sunderland a two-goal lead.

At half-time, Nam Xiao praised the team's performance and reminded the players to continue to maintain a high level of concentration in the second half of the game and watch out for opponents' counter-attacks.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Nan Xiao took the lead in making substitution adjustments, Zhang Xiuwei came off the bench to replace Dokar, who had just returned from injury, and Koné also replaced the somewhat tired Ivory Coast veteran Kolo Toure.

Bournemouth also produced a couple of dangerous attacks in the closing stages of the game, but the final kick was too flattering and Mannone was solid enough to keep the ball away.

The two sides went back and forth in the final ten minutes of the game, and the fans were very hopeful that Sunderland could continue to extend their lead, but Nan Xiao seemed to be satisfied with the current scoreline and returned to the dugout, talking and laughing with Braitwell.

Although Nan Xiao did not put his mind on the court anymore, the players on the field still presented a wonderful goal for the fans again, and the scorer was Carlos, who has been in hot form recently.

Bournemouth, who counterattacked in stoppage time, not only failed to catch up with the score, but because of the huge gap in the back, Carlos seized a single opportunity, and it can be seen in the slow-motion replay that it was Nan Xiao's hometown Zhang Xiuwei who provided the assist for Carlos this time.

Carlos held the ball in front of the opponent's last defender except the goalkeeper, and the opponent was shaken over on the pitch with a human ball, and then a powerful volley sent the ball directly into the upper right corner of the goal, which was full of visual impact, and the fans at the scene also gave Carlos a fierce applause for his wonderful goal.

Carlos equalled Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the scorers charts with an injury-time goal, while Sunderland also won 3-0 to close the gap on the top seven teams again!
