Chapter 115 Consecutive games, Reading far away
In the 23rd round of the British Championship, Southampton continued to sit at home against Luton Town, which had just been beaten by the top team Reading.

Since Luton Town has just been defeated by the opponent just now, Redknapp also hopes to sprinkle another pinch of salt on the opponent's wound while you are dying of illness.

The game was still unexpectedly smooth. Not long after the start of the first half, Yunfei dedicated a 40-meter-long precise long pass in the frontcourt. Bell slammed from the diagonal stab, successfully received the pass, and then calmly pushed the goalkeeper to help the team open the scoring!

The excellent state of the last game continued to this game, and the results were achieved through hard work, unlike the last game where there was only thunder but no rain.

Afterwards, Southampton continued their offensive, but Luton Town seemed to be awakened by Southampton's goal this time. Their performance on the field changed suddenly, and they tenaciously defended the first half.

In the second half of the game, the process of the game seemed to have entered the track of the previous game. Southampton gradually lost control of the game, and Luton Town started its own fierce attack. Fortunately, Niemi played well in this game, high-resistance and resistance, helping the team beat the opponent with difficulty.

Although the game was won, Redknapp was not very satisfied with the team's performance. The team's lack of concentration in the second half made him worry. Fortunately, the game had a good result, which made him a little relieved.

In another game, Reading beat Brighton 10-[-], showing a formidable strength and state.After this round of the game, the point gap between Southampton and Reading is close to [-] points. Now that the league has not passed halfway, this gap is really big.

……

"Hey, look, the coach is showing weakness!"

Dell ate the bread in his hand, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said in surprise.

I just had a tough game yesterday, so today's training is relatively easy. In the early morning, the players seemed to be in a relaxed state.

"Ah, what did the coach say?"

Yunfei looked at Dell curiously, not knowing what the head coach said.Beside Yunfei, other players also looked at Dell curiously.

Feeling many gazes, Dale puffed out his chest, cleared his throat, and read aloud.

"The current state of the Reading team is too good. They are playing the best state in their history. This season, no team will be able to challenge their championship position. I believe that with their performance this year, even if they go to the Premier League, they will be able to avoid relegation smoothly!"

Yunfei nodded while listening, and felt that what the coach said was correct. It is indeed not an easy task to challenge for the league championship this year. The more realistic situation should be to keep the No.2 position and get a spot for direct promotion.

"I think the coach is right, we don't need to think about Reading, we just need to keep the second place!"

Bell ate the food in his hand while talking about his opinion.The outstanding performance of the last two games has made Bell look much better. It has to be said that Bell is a somewhat emotional player, and his state is closely related to his mood.

"Why, do you think we still have hope to catch up with Reading?" Yun Fei raised his head after eating the food in front of him and wiping his mouth, looking at Dell and said.

"I don't think anything is impossible, as long as we keep winning, maybe?"

Dell was a little unconvinced, he didn't think there was no chance at all, at least he didn't want the team to lose the courage to chase Reading so quickly.

"well said!"

Suddenly, the coach's voice sounded abruptly, and Redknapp came in from the door of the restaurant.

"Coach!" "Coach."

"Coach, you support my opinion too!" Dell looked at the coach expectantly.

"No, I also think it is very difficult for us to catch up with Reading. This is a fact. Regardless of our will, based on the opponent's current state and lead, unless there is a collapse, it will be difficult for us to catch up with the opponent, and it will not even be easy."

Redknapp spoke calmly, hearing the players nodding, only Dell looked unhappy.

"Coach, you just now..."

"However, despite this, we can't say that we will stop chasing our opponents. Whether we can catch up is one thing, but whether we can go after it is another thing, isn't it? So I don't want everyone to lose the idea of ​​competing for the championship now. It's still early before the end of the league!"

Redknapp looked at his players expectantly, and the meaning of the words made the players fall into contemplation.

……

After listening to the head coach's speech in the restaurant, the slightly disappointed atmosphere in the team dissipated instantly, and it can be seen that Redknapp's words still achieved his goal.

"You are really good, Harry, the players have completely recovered their hearts with just a few words, you are really experienced!"

Taylor looked at the hard-working players and couldn't help giving Redknapp a thumbs up.

Redknapp smiled, and seemed satisfied with the effect of his words.

"This is the job of the head coach. It is not only about arranging tactics and arranging troops, but also balancing the locker room, adjusting the emotions of the players, and adjusting the mentality of the team at critical moments. It is not easy!"

Redknapp sighed and said that the work of a head coach has never been so simple, and managing a team is not as easy as it seems. Any slight problem may bring dire consequences to the team in the long season.If you can't do this, then maybe a time bomb will be detonated at some point.

"Then do you think we really have a chance to catch up to Reading?" Taylor asked curiously.

Redknapp shook his head.

"It's not like you haven't seen this kind of situation before, but in any season where No.2 can't put pressure on No.1, there is a high probability that the top team like this will be the best. The opponent is in such a good state, and we can't put pressure on the opponent, so the possibility of the team's collapse is too low!"

Redknapp never thought of winning the championship this season. The team's return to the Premier League is his biggest goal. Even speaking, it is a very pleasant surprise for him that the team is currently ranked second in the league. He did not expect the team to have such an outstanding performance at the beginning of the season.His original plan was to enter the top six and then fight for a chance to play off!
"Since the team is now in a very favorable position, we must grasp it and must get the qualification for direct promotion!" Redknapp thought secretly in his heart.
