Father Green

Chapter 89: Christmas Dinner
On December [-]th, the sky was rarely clear, and Southampton is still home today, and they ushered in the small town team Ipswich Town.Now Ipswich Town is no longer a Premier League team. They have been relegated for several years, and their strength has naturally plummeted.

Facts have proved that they did not create much trouble for Southampton. Charlotte's team easily defeated their opponents [-]-[-] at home.

December [-], rain and snow.Today, Charlotte led the team to Nottingham to challenge Nottingham Forest, which has won the Champions League twice. Although Nottingham Forest has fallen, it is still a tough bone in the British Championship.

Now the head coach of Nottingham Forest is the former head coach of the England national team McLaren. McLaren's team has been ranked in the promotion zone in the league in the past two seasons.Helplessly, they fell in the promotion play-offs for two consecutive seasons, so Nottingham Forest is also making a comeback this season.

The game was very fierce at the beginning. Southampton is currently the leader of the league, but Nottingham Forest is not weak. They are now ranked fourth in the league, and they are only one point away from No.3.

At the same time, this game was played at the City Stadium, the home stadium of Nottingham Forest, so it was destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Nottingham Forest finally took the lead in scoring. They used a free kick in the frontcourt to score in the second minute of No.30.The high-intensity confrontation for 32 consecutive minutes made Southampton's nerves too tight, so young Jack Cork made a mistake, and his foul gave the opponent a very well-positioned set piece.

But soon Southampton equalized the score. At the end of the first half, the center forward Lambert stepped forward and scored with a strong shot.

During the intermission, Charlotte made targeted adjustments to the problems that occurred in the first half.Then in the No. 60 minute, Charlotte's adjustments paid off, and Sturridge scored.

When the game came to No.70 in the audience for two minutes, Charlotte made another adjustment.Leading by a goal, Southampton replaced Adam Lallana with Pogba, a change that drew boos from Forest fans.

Everyone could see that the substitution was to take advantage of the ball through a defensive counterattack, so this caused dissatisfaction among the home fans.

Nima, I played seven and 10 minutes of open and closed offensive games. Now that we are behind, you have to play defensive counterattacks. Without such a
You know, we weren't so conservative when we were ahead.

The fans of Nottingham Forest naturally don't think about it. When they were leading, it was only No. 30 minutes, but now Southampton has been leading for more than [-] minutes.

Charlotte wanted to keep the advantage of the ball, but Nottingham Forest was on the offensive, and when the center's legs were cramped, McLaren directly replaced it with a new force.

And Nottingham Forest's persistence finally achieved results in the No.901 minute, and the new young center forward made the game lore.

Looking at the celebrating Nottingham players, Charlotte could only smile wryly.Because the game was very smooth, the referee only gave 2 minutes of stoppage time, and the result was killed by the opponent at No. 901 minutes and ten seconds.

If your team can survive 1 minute, you can take three points from the city stadium.Maybe I shouldn't replace Adam Lallana's conservative tactics, but continue to press the offense to put more pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent's offense will not be so unscrupulous.

However, such a result is also acceptable to Charlotte. After all, the opponent is Nottingham Forest, which has participated in the promotion play-offs for two consecutive seasons. Their strength lies there, and their side is still playing away.

In the locker room after the game, Charlotte decompressed the team, saying it was just bad luck.There is nothing to say, the performance of the whole team is very good, so all we have to do is continue to perform like this in the next games.

After the team returned to Southampton, Charlotte said in the bus that she would train for the next few days instead of taking a day off after the previous game. This is not because Charlotte was dissatisfied with this game.Instead, the club has arranged a rest plan for the Christmas holiday. The team will rest for two and a half days on the morning of the 23rd, 24th, and 25th to allow everyone to spend Christmas with their families and resume normal training on the afternoon of the 25th.

Today is already NO.17, and it is naturally inconvenient to have a holiday the day after tomorrow.Although Charlotte likes to relax the nerves of the team, it is obviously not a good thing to relax the nerves too much, which needs to be grasped to a certain degree.

On December 22, the team only practiced for half a day, and Charlotte gave the team a holiday at two o'clock in the afternoon, because there was a dinner at the club tonight.

In fact, the Southampton club did not have the tradition of Christmas dinner in the past. This time, Charlotte specially applied to the club owner Katerina to increase the cohesion and unity of the team. Well, of course the fat aunt has no objection, for a rich man who has just inherited more than one billion pounds, a dinner is not a big deal at all.

After returning home, Charlotte took a casual bath, then changed into a formal suit and rode his beloved Plum Blossom Master and went out.

Tonight is the time for the club's Christmas dinner, and Charlotte will naturally attend.It's just a handsome guy in a suit and a formal suit riding a bicycle, which doesn't fit any picture.

Of course, knowledgeable people naturally know the value of Meihua bicycles, but to those who do not know how to do it, it is just an ordinary bicycle.

Arriving at the Bay Hotel in Southampton, Charlotte got out of the car and parked the bicycle, then patted the doorman on the shoulder with a confused look on his face: "Be careful, don't get scratched, this paint is not cheap. "

Charlotte is also kind. This car uses the same level of paint technology as Maybach and Ferrari. Naturally, it is expensive. Last time, because of Stephens and Pogba's accident, it cost Charlotte three hundred to repair it and repaint it. GBP.

It is equivalent to more than 3000 RMB, but I feel sorry for Charlotte. It was just a joke to send the invoice to Pogba and Stephens for reimbursement.

Charlotte had already entered the hall, but the doorman hadn't reacted yet.

After all, riding a bicycle to a five-star hotel, especially the Bay Hotel, which ranks in the top three on the entire south coast of England, is the first time in the five-year career of a doorman.

Fortunately, the good service tradition of the hotel prevented the concierge boy from throwing the other party's bicycle, but instead found a parking space and parked it properly.

Charlotte was basically the last one to arrive. After all, the players left early for the holidays, and the coaches who left the conference room at the training base at the same time as Charlotte had their own vehicles, so naturally they were faster than Charlotte who was riding a bicycle.

Les Reid came to meet Charlotte and came to the table. It stands to reason that Charlotte's achievements in Southampton are fully qualified for the chairman to come and guide Charlotte to the table, but everyone knows that Nicola Curti Adams and Charlotte don't get along
This dinner is purely Southampton's own internal banquet, not a social reception, so although the players are all dressed in formal attire, they are still laughing and joking.

When Charlotte told them the news about the dinner party, she said that women could be brought to this dinner party, so those who were married and those who had girlfriends brought their girlfriends.

Only Charlotte, Pogba, Sterling and other teenagers came alone.

At this time, the players were teasing Schneiderlin's girlfriend. From the conversation between Schneiderlin and Lallana, Charlotte knew that this was the first time Schneiderlin brought his girlfriend to meet his teammates.You must know that Schneiderlin has played for Southampton for three seasons, and this season is already the fourth.

Charlotte has met other players' girlfriends before, such as Lallana's girlfriend Emily Jube and the wives of Gary Monk and Ricky Lambert. I haven't heard that Schneiderlin has a girlfriend. .

He came to the players' table with a wine glass: "It's better to come to your table to have a better atmosphere. Those old men are so boring, I can't find anything to talk to them about."

Everyone laughed, and Pogba even smiled and said: "Boss, you have a generation gap with them!"

That's right, as the head coach, Charlotte's position is at the table of the coaching staff, and the youngest coach there is already in his thirties. Charlotte is only 23 years old this year and not yet 24 years old. There is a generation gap when you are in your teens.

Charlotte smiled: "That's right. Hey, who is this beautiful lady Morgan? Why don't you introduce me?"

Schneiderlin's face was embarrassing, and he was often made fun of by these unreliable teammates before.His voice was very low. Everyone knew that Schneiderlin had always been a very quiet boy in the team: "Boss, this is Camille. Camille, this is our head coach, Mr. Charlotte. Of course, we generally call him the boss. "

The blond-haired, brown-skinned beauty raised her wine glass: "To you, Mr. Charlotte."

"Oh, I should be the one to respect you, beautiful lady." Charlotte raised her glass and drank it down.

Several kinds of beverages were prepared for the banquet, some of which contained very little alcoholic content, and these were prepared for the coaching staff and club staff.And some non-alcoholic drinks and juices are prepared for the players, no matter how the players are in private, but Charlotte will not put wine on the table on this occasion.

In fact, in private, Charlotte also asks players to drink less alcoholic beverages and eat less unhealthy mistakes for the sake of their careers.

As for whether it can be done, it is none of Charlotte's business.After all, not everyone has such a strong self-discipline. As long as it doesn't affect training and competition, Charlotte doesn't care much about the players.

After all, in professional football, there are very, very few players who do not drink, eat, or make unhealthy mistakes, and these players are all evergreens in football without exception. Even after 34 years old, they still maintain a strong competitive state.

For example, Di Natale, who was a late bloomer, Giggs, who was strictly demanded by the old man, Totti, the wolf king who guarded a city all his life, and the golden generation of Czech football headed by Pavel Nedved.
From the chat, I learned that Schneiderlin's girlfriend Camille is a shopping guide in a shopping mall, and seems to be a shopping guide for an Adidas store in a large shopping mall in the Southampton area.

Charlotte doesn't know how much the shopping guide's salary is, but Charlotte knows that Schneiderlin's current salary is 1 pounds-a weekly salary.

So, this is another Cinderella story.

But Charlotte doesn't care. Now that love in Britain is gender-neutral, do you still care about the gap between rich and poor?At least the relationship between Schneiderlin and Camille is really because of love, not looking for a star like other young models purely for fame.
