Chapter 176 Koppel's Curtain Call

Although Yunfei didn't intend to take revenge on his opponent, it was obvious that Yunfei's action of hitting Matthew after dodging made Matthew a little overwhelmed, especially when his head was hit, so he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ma Hong hurriedly signaled to the sidelines to let the team doctor enter the field. For a while, the players on Watford's side immediately became nervous.

"You guys didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Bell and Yunfei both walked to the sidelines to drink water at this time, looking at Yunfei with a relaxed face, Bell asked suspiciously.

"No? If I did it on purpose, I would have stepped on his feet directly!" Yun Fei said angrily. He could only say that Matthew was unlucky. He just landed on the other party and could even hit the other party's head.

"But this guy is just doing it for himself, and he deserves it for a few fierce fouls!"

Bell said viciously, for a player who has been plagued by injuries, he is absolutely disgusted with this kind of guy with such dirty feet!
At this time, after being checked by the team doctor, Matthew was still unable to persist in the game and could only be carried out of the stadium by a stretcher.And the referee gave another yellow card to Matthew lying on the stretcher.

"No matter what the reason for his injury, it was because of a fierce grab from the back of the side. He can't escape this yellow card!"

The referee's explanation made Ma Hong, who came up to reason, speechless, so he could only leave silently.

After this episode, Watford's morale was a bit low, and the players were not fools. Of course they knew why Matthew suddenly robbed so fiercely, but they didn't get anyone else, and even hurt themselves. This is really shameful.

And the newly replaced midfielder was inferior to Matthew in both speed and strength. This time, Yunfei immediately felt that the shackles on his body were loosened.

Before the end of the game, Yunfei and Suleman ran to the opponent's penalty area after colliding with the wall continuously on the field. Yunfei finally distributed the ball to the side, and then continued to advance. Bell understood and returned the ball to Yunfei who was advancing forward. At this time, Yunfei had completely broken through the opponent's defense.

At this time, the central defender behind him rushed forward recklessly, trying to stop Yunfei from shooting, but Yunfei had anticipated all this, made an emergency stop, let the opponent pass lightly, and then pushed the ball towards the goal lightly.

What Fuller has to do in the middle is just to hit the ball into the goal. Fuller will not miss such a good opportunity again!
2: 1!

After conceding a goal at home, Southampton scored two goals in a row and overtook the score!

Before the intermission, the team conceded a goal again, which made Damiano very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't immediately solve the team's personnel and morale problems.

In the second half, Watford significantly strengthened their offensive strength, continuously attacking Southampton's goal.

After enduring nearly 15 minutes of bombardment, Yunfei seized a rare opportunity to counterattack, and accurately found Bell, who was running on the wing, with a precise long pass. The latter accelerated continuously, and after throwing away the defenders, he passed the ball to Jones, who was also fast.The latter fired a low shot against the goalkeeper in the penalty area and once again broke the goal guarded by Ben Foster.

3: 1!

Southampton had almost sealed the victory, and this goal completely extinguished the arrogance of the opponent's counterattack. In the end, the score of [-] to [-] was successfully maintained until the end.

Despite the slight twists and turns in the process of the game, Southampton still won this crucial game without any risk.

And the most important thing is that in another game that kicked off at the same time, Reading even drew with Wolves in 90 minutes!And Reading's two consecutive draws means that Southampton has completely tied the 4-point point disadvantage with their opponents!
Now in the standings, Southampton and Reading have the same points, but because of the disadvantage of goal difference, they are ranked second in the league.The gap between the two teams that used to be as high as more than 10 points was quickly smoothed out in a few rounds of competition!
Redknapp, who heard the news, waved his hand directly and gave the players half a day off, which shows how happy he was to hear the news in his heart.

And for the media, this is such a good material for speculation. The classic scene once staged in the Premier League seems to be staged again in the English Championship.The face of Steve Koppel when he provoked the media is not so easily forgotten by the media. The media are very vengeful. Since you are in the current situation, how can you not add insult to injury!
The influx of negative reports from the outside world is undoubtedly a greater blow to the players in Reading. Even if Steve Koppel made repeated orders to prevent the players from paying attention to those reports, players are also human beings, and it is impossible for human beings to be completely immune to these reports.

And if Reading can really keep winning, then these reports are actually a joke to them, but if the situation is not good, these reports may become the last straw that overwhelms the camel.

Steve Koppel sat helplessly in his seat, looked at the various decorations in the office, and sighed softly.

Picking up a photo at hand, looking at his youthful appearance on it, Steve Koppel showed bitterness on his face.

"Perhaps this is my fate!"

Steve Koppel murmured that the self-confidence he once had was almost gone, replaced by oldness, an indescribable but definitely felt oldness.

Under the current circumstances, even if Reading can win the British Championship this season, he will not be able to get rid of the bad luck of getting out of class. The team will not keep him as a target in the eyes of the media, let alone, this season's championship is already about to be lost!This is the best reason to let him dismiss get out of class.

"Since the result is like this, then I will take the initiative. Maybe we still have a chance for the rest of the game!"

Steve Koppel gently opened the drawer on the right hand side, and took out a document inside tremblingly. It was not stated on the document what kind of document it was, but judging from Steve Koppel's reaction, it was obvious what this document meant.

Holding this document, Steve Koppel walked out of the office door and slowly walked to the high-rise room.

The next day, a big news came out suddenly. Steve Koppel had submitted his resignation to the top management. After the end of the season, the meritorious coach who was about to lead Reading to upgrade would leave the team!

Immediately, countless media gathered in Reading again. No matter what Steve Koppel said, if he wants to resign now, he must hold a press conference to explain!
