Father Green

Chapter 115: Sad Valentine's Day
"Especially Daniel, he has just returned from injury, such a high-intensity game is not good for his body. The advice given by the team medical team is to replace him in advance to avoid repeated injuries after muscle strain." Nick Havana Follow the analysis report given by the team medical team to Charlotte.

But Charlotte didn't even look at it. If he still doesn't know why Sturridge is "working so hard" in this game, then he is too mentally retarded.

Charlotte said calmly: "Daniel hasn't played a game for a long time, so let him act wild now that he is so excited."

Looking back, Charlotte let Icardi, Sterling and Florenzi warm up, and then took advantage of the dead ball to replace Lambert, Lallana and Al Ganassi respectively, but did not replace Sturry strange.

And Sturridge finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish. In the No.80 second minute of the game, he scored after receiving Icardi's return ball.

In the end, Southampton beat Reading [-]-[-] in the away game. This tough team did not kill the leader on its own floor, but was punched three holes by the opponent, but the whole Reading team The number of yellow cards has decreased to a measly three, and it seems that in the last game, Southampton left them a deep impression.

It is worth mentioning that the former Southampton captain, Dean Hammond, who came to Reading during the winter transfer period, came off the bench in the second half, but at that time Southampton already had an absolute advantage of [-]-[-].

Before the game, Dean Hammond did not have any communication with Charlotte, so most of the media thought that there was some unhappiness between Hammond and Charlotte, which eventually led to the ex-Saints captain leave.

For example, the reporter of "The Sun" has already prepared a draft in his heart. The headline is "Charlotte's iron-fisted policy forced the captain to leave, the saints are outraged, and the young head coach has completely lost control of the locker room!"

The title is long and flowery.This is also very "The Sun", this kind of chasing rumors and serious nonsense is also in line with the style of their newspaper.

just
At the end of the game, after the Southampton players thanked the fans who came to watch the away game under the away stands, Dean Hammond found Charlotte. The two smiled friendly and hugged each other.

This directly made most media reporters, and some tabloids from North London almost scolded their mothers angrily.Their idea is exactly the same as "The Sun", the only difference is that "The Sun" is doing this to attract readers' attention, while they hope to cause some trouble for Southampton.

If you can "throw bricks to attract jade" and really make the Saints internal strife, it would be a bad idea. After all, they support West Ham United, and the Hammers have formed a relationship with the Saints this season. At the same time, Southampton is also West Ham. Manchester United's biggest rivals for promotion to the Premier League this season.

The puzzled reporter asked Dean Hammond, who accompanied Reading coach McDermott to the post-match press conference after the game, why Charlotte "kicked you off" as the captain, and the two of you were so confused before the game started. Do you think that those who didn't see each other didn't communicate, but hugged each other after the game?

"This question is really strange. I don't know what answer you want to get when you fall to the ground. But the truth of the matter is that I am not suitable for Mr. Charlotte's tactics, so I can only find another way out. Mr. Charlotte is a Very good manager, although I only played half a season under him, but I learned a lot. There is no conflict between us, on the contrary we understand each other. So even if I leave Southampton but I'm still good friends with Sir Charlotte and my ex-Southampton team-mates, and things like transfers are normal in professional football, aren't they?"

"As for why we didn't exchange pleasantries before the game? That's because I'm a Reading player now, and Mr. Charlotte and I have a very good personal relationship, but standing on the pitch, he represents Southampton, and I represent Southampton. Reading team. Both of us are enemies. Have you ever seen soldiers from two opposing camps hugging and chatting together before the battle? As for after the game, when the game is over, our hostility will naturally cease to exist. The Saints and Redding are not life and death enemies, so why should I not say hello to my good friends?"

Dean Hammond's answer was watertight, neither offending Southampton and Charlotte, nor arousing the resentment of the new club and the new manager.

As for the "Sun" and the group of "little friends" from North London, of course they can only secretly curse Hammond as "out of line".

After this game, the results of the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup came out.Southampton's luck is relatively average, and they have drawn a Premier League team, but fortunately, their opponent is West Bromwich Albion, a team that is not difficult to deal with in the Premier League.

You must know that when the FA Cup comes to the fifth round, there are not many low-level teams, and most of them are Premier League teams, and the rest are the English Championship teams.

It's just that this year's FA Cup is destined to miss the dark horse. So far, the teams in the fifth round are only the Premier League and the English Championship. There is no League One team, let alone the English League Two and the National League. up.

This also directly led to the failure of Charlotte's plan to gain a sense of presence on the low-level teams, but what made him depressed was that the Reading team had drawn a good lottery. Sturt City.

This is much luckier than the other teams in the British Championship, because except for the group of Reading and Leicester City, the opponents of the "living" British Championship teams are all Premier League teams.

Charlotte muttered to herself, could it be that the one who lost the game had more character, and what "hidden attributes" were activated?
But given his choice, he would rather have a three-pointer in the league than a victory in the FA Cup.

You must know that Reading is currently ranked third in the league. After winning such a league game, Southampton's promotion path will be even broader.

Before the FA Cup, Southampton still has a league game to play, which is a home game against relegated Blackpool.Blackpool's current situation is a bit embarrassing. They have just been relegated from the Premier League. This season they are proud to say that they will definitely appear in the Premier League next season.

But after coming to the British Championship, I realized that these guys from the British Championship are too cruel!

Blackpool is currently ranked seventh in the standings. Since the beginning of the season, their performance has not fluctuated much, and has been fluctuating between fourth and seventh. Although this result is stable, it is still far away from promotion. A little distance.

Blackpool worked hard, but even Sam Allardyce's West Ham climbed from the abyss of ten to the current No.4 position, and they are still wandering between fourth and seventh. "!"
This is embarrassing for Blackpool, maybe the experience of the Premier League last season is their "one-day tour of the Premier League"
Blackpool have fluttered between the English Championship, League One and League Two for nearly ten years. Last season, they were lucky enough to win the final of the Premier League promotion play-offs, and they had their Premier League trip last season. .

In Charlotte's eyes, the league is more important than the sky.According to his pissing nature, this game must be the main force.

Sure enough, Lambert, Sturridge, Schneiderlin and other core players all appeared in the starting lineup. The only surprise is Al Ganassi and Wanyama, who often partnered with Schneiderlin in the midfield before. Sitting on the bench, they were replaced by Florence and Jack Cork.

In Charlotte's ideal, this game is to get three points.After all, the opponent is not a strong team. There is no reason for a team that can lose opponents such as Peterborough United and Bristol City to win away from Southampton, which is currently in a difficult situation. At the same time, it has always valued Charlotte in the league.

But the reality is so miraculous, the three-pointer considered by Charlotte finally flew away!

Before the No. 70 minute, Southampton was leading 70-[-], but after the No. [-] minute, Blackpool staged an absolute counterattack.

They scored in 10 minutes to level the score, and the next 10 minutes they played more and more excitedly.If it weren't for Ter Stegen's normal performance, it is very likely that Southampton will not be guaranteed in the evening.
In the final result, Blackpool did not win Southampton in the away game, but Southampton's ideal three-pointer was also beaten, and the two sides shook hands [-]-[-].

If the two sides have a wide open and close attack and are similar in strength, Charlotte has nothing to say about this result, but Southampton almost dominated the game, but they overturned the opponent in the last 10 minutes. body.

Charlotte couldn't accept the result and the process, and he knew where the problem was.When I was in such a bad position in the league, when the opponent had no way to fight back after fighting the whole game, and when the final game was about to end, someone slacked off.

"Hell, it must be jet lag. It must be April 29th, not February [-]th."

The players in the locker room looked at each other in blank dismay. They expected that their boss would yell at him like he would lift a table when he came in, but now Charlotte's endless sentence made him wonder what was going on.

"Because April 29th is the last match day of this season's English Championship, our current No. [-] position in the league is firmly secured, and at the same time, everyone will be Premier League players next season." Charlotte said pleasantly. Explained a bit.

Then there was a storm: "But!! It's only mid-February, is your league title guaranteed? Are you sure to be promoted to the Premier League next season? If you answer 'yes', then great, Ray Ding, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Blackpool players want you to think the same, so they can make money!"

"How do I usually teach you? The referee doesn't blow the whistle for the end of the game, so even if there is one second left, the game is not over! How do you play this game? Has FIFA changed? According to the rules of football, is there only seven and 10 minutes in a game? Why doesn't my head coach know?"

"Or, because it's Valentine's Day, you're in a rush to go home and have a good night with your girlfriends, wives, and club girls?!"

"People who make me very unhappy, I will never make them happy! I won't say much in this game, and tomorrow's training will continue without rest. At the same time," Charlotte looked around the entire locker room with murderous eyes: "Tomorrow morning The training session will be brought forward to seven o'clock, if there are still people who haven't arrived at the training ground at seven o'clock, hey, you can figure it out."
