Chapter 177 Koppel's Curtain Call

"I am very grateful to Reading for providing me with the job opportunity here. The three years here may be the most satisfying and happiest three years of coaching in my life!"

"But there is always a banquet in the world. I am too old to allow myself to continue such a high-intensity coaching life, so I chose to send the team to the Super League and leave. Now the announcement is also to give the team enough time to find the next head coach to take over."

At the press conference, the coach, who has been very tough and iron-blooded this season, was extremely soft, his tone was flat, and although his face was a bit haggard, he was very calm, which is indeed rare in this season.

When Steve Koppel was sitting here, to be honest, he was still full of reluctance, but as the press conference progressed and he talked a little bit, he suddenly felt a little tired, but it was accompanied by relief and relaxation.This made him suddenly realize that he was really under too much pressure, and he really couldn't adapt to such a life.

With this awareness, it was easier for Koppel to go on.

"Starting from today, my coaching career here will begin to count down. I will do my best to help the team keep the league championship. This is my only wish now and my last expectation as a football coach."

After speaking, Steve Koppel stood up slowly, looked at the media reporters below, turned around and prepared to leave the venue without speaking.

"Coach Koppel, what exactly prompted you to plan to resign?"

A slightly abrupt voice asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most.

Hearing the reporter's question, Coach Koppel looked back, and a smile appeared on some old faces. It was a childlike and innocent smile.

"I'm still Reading's manager, don't forget what I said!"

With a playful wink, Steve Koppel walked out of the venue with a smile.

Seeing Koppel's figure slowly disappearing into the passage, all the reporters present were silent at this moment, and an inexplicable sense of loss slowly spread among the crowd.

The next day, the news of Steve Koppel's resignation hit the headlines of various sports. The old coach who had been hyped by reporters for half a year finally chose to leave in this way, returning the team a quiet and giving himself a chance to leave decently.

In the newspapers of this day, it is rare for you to see positive comments from the media on Steve Koppel. For coach Koppel, his goal has been achieved.There are only 7 games left for him. This will be the final criterion for evaluating his achievements in Reading in the past three years. If he can win this championship, it will be considered complete for the old coach.

Not surprisingly, the news quickly spread to Southampton. It is said that Redknapp, who heard the news, locked himself in the office for a long time and did not come out. I don’t know if he felt a kind of empathy, or simply felt sorry for Coach Koppel.

But in any case, this news means that the relationship between Reading and the media will quickly ease, and the external environment is no longer so bad. It also means that the terrible Reading team will make a comeback soon, and it will take a final fight!
……

At the same time, Yunfei was sitting at home, watching the program on TV that was giving coach Koppel a career summary, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart, it was a kind of luck that the old coach could leave in such a way, and everyone could accept it.

"Does this mean that your troubles are coming? Reading must be united now!" Zhang Yuwei asked curiously from the side. She is now watching something about football every day, and she has begun to become familiar with some common-sense things.

It was rare to have half a day off today, and tomorrow was a life-and-death battle with Chelsea, Yunfei simply chose to stay at home, in this way to decompress himself and relax.

Now Yunfei's parents are not at home, the couple went out to play again, these two people are also interesting, they never bring their children when they go out to play, so Yunfei is fine, look at Zhang Yuwei's aggrieved expression, almost didn't make Yunfei laugh out loud.

But today Yunfei's home is not only Yunfei and Zhang Yuwei, but also an old acquaintance of everyone here.

"Have you two been so bored at home?"

A pleasant voice rang in his ears, and Yun Fei subconsciously looked back, and saw those bright black eyes that seemed to be shining with brilliance.

Lin Yuerou sat beside Yunfei, holding a cup of black tea in her hand, sipping it lightly.

Today, this one is also radiant, not thin clothes showing a curvy figure, the black tea held on his chest and the plumpness in front of him all of a sudden attracted Yunfei's attention.God knows how Yunfei forced himself to look back.

As if noticing his gaffe, Yunfei coughed in embarrassment. Zhang Yuwei, who was sitting on the other side, glanced at Yunfei inexplicably, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?"

When she asked this question, she didn't seem to notice the flushed cheeks of Yunfei and Lin Yuerou at all.

Lin Yuerou also noticed Yunfei's gaffe just now, although she was a little shy, she didn't react in any way, she still drank the black tea in her hand calmly.

"No, no, it's just that my throat feels a little uncomfortable, and I just coughed a bit!"

Yunfei waved his hands in a panic, indicating that he was fine.He has indeed grown up a bit, and coupled with the fact that he is still a vigorous athlete, it is actually quite normal for this to happen.

But with this, Yunfei quickly found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and when he came out, he simply sat next to his sister.

For some reason, when Lin Yuerou saw Yunfei sitting next to Zhang Yuwei, she felt a sense of disappointment in her heart, and she relaxed a little from the movements she had deliberately maintained.

"Now we have returned to the same starting line with Reading. They have solved their own harsh external environment, and we have smoothed the gap in points. This is fair. In the end, it depends on who performs better!"

Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, and talked about his views on this matter.

"Then who do you think is more likely to win the championship?" Zhang Yuwei couldn't hold back after all and asked this question.

"Of course I am full of confidence in the team. Even the Reading team, which has been performing well in the first half of the season, still lost to us. Even if they are in a hot state now, we have the confidence to win this championship!"

When he said these words, Yunfei himself didn't realize the confidence and arrogance in his tone, which made the two girls look sideways.
