Chapter 218 Hughes' Gratitude
It should be said that Southampton's pre-season training was relatively smooth. Except for a few unlucky guys who were caught overweight and were dealt with badly, others, including new players, entered the state quickly.

Among the new aid, Andy Hughes impressed everyone the most. This old opponent of Southampton last season, soon after joining the team, he used his fierce steals and undead physical ability to strongly announce his arrival.

In addition to Andy Hughes, the performance of the two new players on the back line is not bad. At least at present, it seems that the combination of the back line is much more stable than last season.

The Southampton players also surprised the new players. Hughes is okay. After all, he has directly fought against Southampton. The remaining few new players are really surprised by the strength of the Southampton players.

Especially Yunfei, after the training match, these new players knew why he was awarded the captain's armband at such a young age.

On the training ground, Yunfei ran slowly in the midfield a little leisurely. He is now playing more relaxed and freehand in the midfield, but once the ball comes in front of him, he will immediately show a completely different state from others.

Behind Yunfei, the new aid Bailey watched Yunfei receive a return pass from Suleman in the midfield, and instead of stopping the ball, he directly chose a long pass and accurately turned the ball to the left, which was not bad at all!
Although Bailey has seen this scene many times so far, every time I see it, I feel incredible. This young man is really too strong!
Another new aid, Cassel, who followed up to receive the ball, stopped Yunfei's accurate pass very smoothly while running, and because of this, he stopped and accelerated the ball without stopping at all, and directly threw away the defensive players who hadn't had time to get up to speed, and then directly kicked the pass!
Fuller, who was in the middle, took the lead in speeding up, throwing Powell a position away, then jumped high, and hit the goal with his head shaking!
The goalkeeper had no reaction to the tricky header from this angle and could only watch the ball into the net.

After watching the attack, Redknapp nodded in satisfaction. This kind of offensive coordination is what he likes to see. In the new season, because the team's strength must be in the middle and lower reaches of the league, they need to make more use of counterattacks and opportunities to fight for the top in the penalty area. This kind of offensive coordination is what they need very much.

But while happy, Redknapp still has some dissatisfaction.This dissatisfaction is naturally for Powell. He is one of the unlucky people who are overweight in the new season. He has just been easily thrown off by Fuller. Obviously, he is also in poor physical condition temporarily because of weight loss.

Darren Powell is currently very important to this team. Now the team is short of manpower at the right back position, and the central defender is not rich. This player who can play the center and side is a very important supplement for the team. This is why he is overweight, but Redknapp still allows him to participate in the training game. He does not want Powell to miss the team's training game too much.

"This Darren, really gives me a headache!"

Redknapp shook his head and motioned for assistant coach Taylor to blow the whistle to end the training session.

"No way, black players generally have less self-discipline, which is understandable." Coach Taylor said casually.

"Hey, just tell me what you said. If you reveal it, it will definitely arouse strong criticism!"

To be honest, the conservative atmosphere in England is still relatively serious. It can be seen from the disturbance caused by the recruitment of people of color by the England national team a few years ago. Even though it may be better now, this situation still exists.However, the general environment still has zero tolerance for racial discrimination, and it is still terrible to be exposed.

"I'm telling the truth, and I didn't say it deliberately..." Taylor was a little anxious, saying this as if I was a racist.

"Okay, I just want to remind you to be careful when you speak!"

Redknapp stopped Taylor's outburst with a gesture.

"Next, the warm-up match is coming soon. You have to remember to get those guys who are overweight to lose weight for me as soon as possible. Be careful when the team plays the warm-up match, I will let them stay in the base to continue training!"

……

Walking down from the training field, Yunfei felt comfortable all over his body. He had missed the field for a long time. After going out to vacation with Bell for a few days, he began to miss the field. Later, he couldn’t do it anymore. He simply looked for tourists who played beach football on the beach every day to enjoy his feet.

For Yunfei, returning to the team and entering the training period may make him feel more comfortable than taking a vacation outside!
"Hey, Yunfei!" Andy Hughes came to Yunfei's side.

"What's wrong?" Yunfei asked.

"Thank you for recommending the club to buy me!" Hughes looked very happy with a smile on his face.

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

"The Premier League team, as well as such training conditions and training bases, these things used to be beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that I would be able to enjoy these things one day!"

Andy Hughes said seriously, for a player like him who has worked hard from the bottom up, it is difficult for ordinary players such as Yunfei to understand the opponent's past experience, and naturally they cannot understand the opponent's emotions at the moment.

Even though Yunfei had encountered a crisis when he first debuted, even so, he was much more privileged than Andy Hughes. When Andy Hughes was 21 years old, he was still hanging out in the amateur league. In that kind of team, it was already a luxury to have a football field with good turf for training, let alone training equipment and a professional coaching team. Their amateur players had to work every day, and they only had a short time to spend on training.

Andy Hughes is in this kind of environment, almost one step a year, he has been promoted from the bottom to now has the opportunity to play in the top league of the Premier League. This kind of earth-shaking change, this change of mood, cannot be understood by someone like Yunfei who has not experienced that kind of life much.

But Yunfei can probably imagine that feeling. After all, he was once in a lonely and helpless situation when he was a child. Later, he came to England with Uncle Zhang. In a sense, the experiences of the two of them are really similar.

But Yunfei is just lucky, while Andy Hughes is hard work, diligence, talent and luck are indispensable!

　Thank you for your reward, thank you very much!
