Chapter 158 Koppel's Courage is Bigger!

To be honest, Redknapp didn't even think that things would go so smoothly. Reading would once again draw with their opponents, and it was an absolute tie. They might continue to lose if they were just a little bit close. This really made him see an opportunity.

The players also showed surprises, whether Reading was really hit by the loss of the last game, or Steve Koppel's mentality has changed, always, this is definitely the happiest news for Southampton.

"No way, is it true that Leiding is going to overturn, this is really a lot of fun!"

Bell murmured, although he said that he wanted to compete for the championship, but whether the dawn of the championship came a little too soon, he didn't have time to react.

"It's actually okay. It's not a dead end. After all, Sheffield United is the third in the league and a strong team. It's acceptable if they don't win. But if Reading still can't win in the next game, at that time, the overwhelming criticism and huge pressure may really overwhelm the opponent. The feeling of being helpless while watching the opponent catch up is terrible!"

Speaking of this, Su Erman glanced at Yunfei subconsciously. Isn't that how Yunfei felt to him at the beginning, he was simply a pervert!
Yunfei keenly caught Suerman's eyes, and frowned. Did this guy speak bad things about himself in his heart again? He seems to have heard it!
Suerman felt uncomfortable being watched by Yunfei, so he found a reason and went back to the locker room.

"Excuses are all excuses!"

Yun Fei murmured, but a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, the champion, he is really waving to them, just thinking about it now, that kind of excitement and trembling will rush to the whole body.

At this time, the well-informed reporters on the sidelines naturally also learned the news of another game immediately, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a long time.

"Could it be that Southampton really wants to repeat history and pull Reading down?" A young-looking reporter called out in disbelief.

It's not his fault.It is true that the visual sense of this scene is too strong, and anyone will think of the incomparably classic season ten years ago.

"It's hard to say, it's still unknown who will win the battle. But it is foreseeable that Reading is in serious trouble!"

Another reporter said with a serious face, probably a reporter who supported Reading.

At this time, the local Southampton reporters next to them were mixed. The happy thing is that Southampton really saw the hope of counterattacking to win the championship. The worry is, such a Southampton, can they really keep these young people at the end of the season?This question is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Southampton supporter. Many people subconsciously don't think about this question, because they really dare not think about it, and the result may not be bearable by them!
"This summer may not be peaceful. Southampton can keep these talented young people, even if their summer signings are successful!"

Now, everyone has seen how outstanding the young people in Southampton are, and everyone is not a fool. Wouldn't they grasp such a good opportunity to poach someone?If you wait for Southampton to play in the Premier League for a year, at that time, the value of this group of people may not be able to stop them!

"The club should not let people go easily, return to the Premier League, have income, keep these young people, maybe they can really reproduce the glory of the former Young Guards?"

As soon as these naive words came out, many old reporters smiled helplessly. The times are different, and not every club has such ambitions. Even the current Leeds United definitely does not have the ambitions of the past!

"Whether the players want to stay in the team is not certain. Walcott is an example. How many people will refuse that temptation!"

As we chatted and chatted, everyone's mood became more and more depressed, which made the Reading supporters seem to be in a better mood. At least, their team didn't have any worries in this regard, but they really wanted to have such worries. I'm really envious!
Why do these people look more and more like they are showing off!

It can only be said that each family has its own joys and sorrows. In the recent Southampton game, more and more scouts came to watch the game. The storm is coming!

……

When this round of the game is over, it is conceivable that, apart from the media's praise for Southampton, the rest of the traffic flocked to Reading.

What lost 5 points in two rounds, one loss and one draw in the last two games, the state is bad.All major sports media have been covered with such reports, and even the fans who usually pay little attention to the British Championship are starting to wonder why there are so many news about the British Championship this season.

Steve Koppel is already battered at this time. He knows that the team's state is fine. Perhaps the loss to Southampton was an unexpected game, but the draw against Sheffield United in this game is not an upset at all.In fact, in his opinion, there is no problem with the team at all.But I can't stand the fact that the media are arguing that there is a problem with the team every day.

Faced with such public opinion, there is no doubt that the players have been affected.In a sense, the team's defeat did not crush the players, but the media reports became the biggest burden on the players' hearts. Not everyone can ignore these things, even if it is him, it is impossible.

How should I put it, media reports are double-edged swords. When things go well, they can make you confident and powerful, and make your opponents fearful.But again, when things go wrong, this knife may hurt themselves!
Under such circumstances, after discussing with the club's top management, coach Steve Koppel simply held a press conference to directly express his support for the team and the players.

"There is no problem with the state of our players. In the football world, it is normal to win or lose. Facing the second and third places in the league in a row, our performance may not be as good as before, but it is definitely not bad. And we still have a 5-point lead. We are still the most favorable contender for the championship!"

After speaking these words and expressing his views on the team, Steve Koppel pointed his gun at the media.

"The irresponsible negative reports of the media have seriously affected our team's daily preparations. We have no ability to prevent the media from reporting anything, but we can not accept these reports, and we can also resist the media's irresponsible reports on us."

After Koppel finished speaking, the atmosphere at the press conference instantly became a little dignified, and the eyes of many reporters became sharp at this time.

"What does he want and what is he? Is this a war with the entire British sports media?"

This sentence appeared in many people's minds at this time, and the anxiety and anger began to emerge in their minds.

"Now I announce that from now until the end of the season, the team will not be interviewed by any media, our training will be completely closed, and no media visits are welcome. Even in the post-match press conference, I will only comment on the game. I may not answer any extra questions. Well, that's it!"

After finishing speaking, Koppel stood up, adjusted his bow tie, took a last look at the media in the audience, and turned to leave the venue.

After that, the news spread across the British Isles very quickly, and everyone understood that this matter had become a big deal!

When Redknapp heard the news, his first reaction was that Koppel was crazy.

"This is stabbing a hornet's nest! It's too intense! It's unwise!"

Although Redknapp said so, he still admired his opponent in his heart. He was a man who dared to make such a decision.

At this moment, Redknapp suddenly felt a little dull. Under such circumstances, even if he won the championship, what's the point?
