Chapter 294: Pay attention to the opponent
The final score was locked at one to two, and Southampton won an away game, which also laid the foundation for them to advance to the next round of the UEFA Cup.

Farewell to the UEFA Cup match with Tottenham, the next step is the league.The time is not far away, that is, two days later.

Southampton went to an away game to challenge Reading, the deputy leader of the current league standings. As one of the former three newly promoted Musketeers, the Reading people looked at Southampton with fiery eyes and envy and hatred.

At the beginning, everyone was promoted from the British Championship to the Premier League, but after 31 rounds, we ranked first from the bottom. At present, there is only a theoretical possibility of success in relegation, but you are seven times ahead of No.2 Manchester United. points to launch a sprint towards the league championship.

It was agreed, to be each other's angels, to stay and fly together, but in the end you put aside and soared alone.

Such a huge contrast made Reading fans very uncomfortable, so at the Madeski Stadium, Reading fans used boos and abuse to provoke visiting players.

Despite their rough play, Reading are notorious in England, along with Millwall and West Ham.But there is no conflict between them and Southampton. The reason for booing each other is firstly because they are jealous of the opponent's performance, and secondly because Reading still has a theoretical possibility of relegation, so they want to help the team complete The miracle.

Yes, it must be a miracle if Reading succeeds in avoiding relegation this season.This miracle is enough to be compared with Southampton who won the championship as a newly promoted horse. It can be seen that its degree of difficulty
Reading fans are not all rascals, there are also some civilized and humorous existences among them.For example, in one of the stands, there was a banner that said: "Do you have any extra three points, give us some!"

Of course there were no extra three-pointers. In the end, the Saints players who came off the bench all scored three-pointers at the "Damn" Ski Stadium. The result of the score was one to three.

Although Reading tried hard to score a goal for Southampton, it was all over.

At the press conference after the game, Charlotte also specially praised the banner on the previous stand: "Football is not just boos and abuse, but also love and happiness. Reading’s relegation career will be added to the cause, but I can guarantee that we will go all out in the next contest with Reading’s relegation opponents.”

"That's football and professionalism, and if we were to throw out the water in this game and lose to Reading on purpose, then it would be the biggest insult to them."

As everyone knows, after Charlotte's words were learned by Reading fans, many fans shouted: "Please come and insult us!"

It's no wonder that Reading fans are so unscrupulous. After all, staying in the Premier League and going to the British Championship is completely a matter of heaven and earth. Someone once said that winning the championship is a matter of honor, but relegation is a matter of life and death.

Moreover, among the newly promoted teams playing in the same period, apart from the sudden emergence of Southampton, even West Ham United performed very well. The relegation was successful.

So Reading fans are very tasty, so it is understandable.

The match against Reading was over, but Charlotte didn't stop observing this round of the league.Because in the second round of No.30, there is still an important finale that has not been staged, and that is the Manchester derby.

In this round, the Red Devils Manchester United will sit in the Theater of Dreams to meet the challenge of their rivals in the same city, Blue Moon. This game was placed in the last game of this round by the FA.So after the game, Charlotte had time to watch the game through the live broadcast.

In fact, not only Charlotte, but many Southampton players and fans are watching this game.Jack Lord's bar was full of people, and it was as lively as yesterday's Southampton match day. The TV screen hanging on the wall was showing the match between Manchester United and Manchester City.

And Lallana called the players to his home to watch the game. Since the second round of the Europa League match with Tottenham is about to take place, they did not hold a large party, but kept everything simple. Drinks are milk and juice, food is bread and beef.

The two sides fought fiercely in the first half. Ferguson's "Loud Van Nistelrooy" striker combination created a great threat, but they failed to break through the defense led by Kompany. Ferguson was very dissatisfied and turned on the hair dryer mode on the sidelines.

Charlotte picked up the juice in her hand and said to Wilkins beside her: "This old man, he is going to retire and still working so hard!"

Wilkins glanced at Charlotte and thought, where did you get the news that Sir is going to retire?

Yes, the league is about to end, but no reporter has revealed the news of Ferguson's retirement.This shows that the old man Ferguson has done a good job of keeping secrets. Of course, it is impossible to guarantee that the old fox has changed his mind and wants to lead the team for a few seasons.

It is not a joke that Ferguson temporarily changes his lineup and does not retire, but it is well-documented. Ferguson once considered retiring twice, but in the end he stayed.

So Charlotte was not sure whether the old man would change his mind temporarily.What if my appearance made the old man ignite again?The arrival of Mourinho once made Ferguson change his mind about retiring. Will he stimulate the old man himself?

After thinking about it, the two sides entered the second half with a score of zero to zero.Neither side made any substitution adjustments. It seems that Ferguson and Manic are basically satisfied with the team's situation.

But just 6 minutes into the second half, the veteran Milner opened the goal guarded by the Spanish kid De Gea with a shocking long-range shot.

This made Ferguson very angry, and then the veteran Giggs was replaced on the bench.

In 9 minutes, Blue Moon captain Kompany also scored a goal with an iron head.But embarrassingly... he scored his own goal.

Kompany, who performed brilliantly in the game, directly lowered his score in the game with an own goal. Joe Hart, standing in front of the goal with his hands spread out, said: Fire, theft, and teammates!
The game came to a one-to-one match, the two sides returned to the same starting line, and now there are 10 minutes left before the end of the game, and it is destined that the game will start to heat up.

Sure enough, the two sides were shown three yellow cards by the referee in the next 10 minutes. The confrontation became fierce, and the derby between the rivals began to be full of gunpowder.

Wilkins said lightly: "A draw is the best result for us. In this case, the point difference between us and the Red Devils will widen to nine points. Enough for Ferguson to chase."
