Chapter 136 The Challenge of the FA Cup

In fact, Walcott hadn't expected anyone to come and see him off.When he stood at the gate of the club, looked back for a week, and was about to get in the car, he saw three familiar figures.

"You guys are here." Walcott looked at the three of Yunfei in a daze, a little at a loss, not knowing what to say.

The ones standing in front of him at this moment are naturally Yunfei, Bell and Suleman.

In any case, Walcott used to be their good friend and teammate, and the transfer was not a serious crime. At this time, they would always come to see each other off.

"Theo, we can all understand you. Don't take this matter too seriously. Now that you have made a decision, go on with determination. Arsenal is not an easy place to live. If you don't show your ability and potential, obviously you won't be able to get a chance there!"

Yunfei was the first to speak. Regarding Walcott, his heart is also somewhat complicated. Although he still thinks that Walcott left at a bad time, he has to admit that it is difficult to refuse a call from a giant, especially when the other party may have promised something.

Beside him, Bell, who used to be filled with righteous indignation, has become less aggressive with the passage of time. There is nothing wrong with people pursuing progress.But he knew that Walcott had no less affection for this team than he did.

"I hope you can make a splash in the Premier League. I'll let you make a breakthrough first. Next season, let us see what you have learned at Arsenal!" Bell said frankly, with sincerity in his eyes.

Walcott smiled lightly, Yunfei and Bell's words made him feel better, everyone wants others to understand themselves, no matter whether the understanding is right or not, it is good if someone understands, isn't it?
"Congratulations, you have passed the devil's schedule during this period with four consecutive victories. With this momentum, you should have a great chance to qualify for direct promotion this season. I will be waiting for you in the Premier League. Don't let me down!"

After speaking, Walcott took a last look at the club, got into the car without saying goodbye, and drove away!

"I still left after all, what a pity!"

Suleman shook his head. Unlike these three young men of similar age, Suleman, who was two years older than the three of them, was obviously more mature. He felt that if Walcott hadn't chosen to leave directly in the winter window, maybe things wouldn't have come to this point. Hey, it's hard to say.

"Let's just leave. It's a relief for him. I hope he can achieve better development there!"

Yunfei also shook his head, turned around and walked towards the training ground, his training today is not over yet.

……

As Walcott said, after the game against Sheffield United, in the remaining two games, facing Cardiff City and Brighton, Southampton successfully won their opponents.Although there were some twists and turns in the process, they still won the game without any risk, which can be regarded as completely securing the second position in the league.

Not surprisingly, Sheffield United and Watford began to fight for a higher league position, but it seems that Sheffield United is still older. The two big victories did not allow Southampton to widen the gap with them. Watford lost a game, and the gap with Sheffield United was also widened.

In short, the standings are changing, and if you are not careful, there may be huge changes. Even the Reading team, which has been winning streak before, will inevitably overturn. They just beat Hull City by a score of 10 to [-]. They were tied by Derby County in the latest round of the game. It can also give the team behind them a little hope.

However, recently Southampton has temporarily turned its attention away from the standings. After a few days of recuperation, Southampton ushered in the third round of the FA Cup. Their opponent is Milton Keynes, who is still in the lower leagues at this time.

In this game, Yunfei was put on the bench. Redknapp didn't feel that his team could not even play against such a League Two team, and the trend on the pitch was also in line with his expectations.

In the first half of the game, Southampton completely controlled the trend of the game and scored a goal.Although he failed to take advantage of the advantage to expand the score, he still showed his ability as a stronger team.

But in the second half, the situation suddenly changed. A bizarre own goal by veteran Lundkvam changed the situation on the court. The sudden draw made Milton Keynes seem to see hope and strengthened their offense.

However, just 3 minutes after the own goal, Suleman used a stunning world wave to help the team exceed the score again.

This goal also made Redknapp's face a little better off the court.

Yun Fei who was sitting on the sidelines did not expect this game to be played like this, he had a faint premonition that this game might not be so easy to win.

Sure enough, when the game came to the 80th minute, Milton Keynes used a set kick to equalize the score. Then in the 84th minute, there was another blitz in the frontcourt. After stealing the ball, he suddenly counterattacked and scored another goal!
Two to three!
Southampton, who played at home, conceded two goals in a row within 4 minutes, and the team fell behind!
The home fans held their heads and looked at everything on the field in disbelief. They couldn't accept the sudden collapse of the team. At this time, the players in Milton Keynes were as if they had been beaten to death. All the fatigue on their bodies seemed to disappear. They saw the hope of an upset. This is a rare opportunity for any team!

At this critical moment, Redknapp looked helplessly at the bench. He didn't have many cards to play, and the most effective one was probably Yunfei. Originally, he brought Yunfei just to be on the safe side, but he didn't expect to really let Yunfei play.

"Yunfei, get ready to play!"
