Chapter 221 Confident Yunfei, Domineering Moyes!

In fact, this summer, there is a drama that is even more exciting than the World Cup, and that is the Serie A Calciopoli incident.

Regarding the phone gate incident, I won't repeat it here. In short, the impact was very bad, and the final result was also very tragic.

Juventus, the old lady of Serie A, was directly deprived of the league championship title for two seasons, and was directly relegated to the second division, and directly deducted 9 league points.Lazio and Fiorentina were also relegated to the second division and deducted points. Although AC Milan retained the qualification to continue to compete in Serie A, they lost their qualifications to participate in the Champions League this season due to point deductions, and were also deducted points that season.

The giants of Serie A have been hit hard, the Serie A league has been questioned, and countless players have fled from these teams. This summer's transfer window is far from over, and this drama will not stop for a while.

The reason for bringing up the Calciopoli incident is that since then, the Premier League and La Liga have completely suppressed Serie A, and even the Bundesliga behind them has rapidly narrowed the distance with Serie A. Serie A has completely lost the ability to fight back.

……

In the warm-up match before the season, Southampton achieved five wins and three draws, and their performance was still very good. It can be seen that the tacit understanding and tactical proficiency among the players of this team have remained very good without any major changes in the general framework.

"In this season's Premier League, when it comes to the newly promoted team that attracts the most attention, it is undoubtedly Southampton. Last season, they relied on a group of young players to make a miraculous comeback and won the Championship. This summer window, they are still making minor repairs, but their greatest success is to keep these young players in their team. With these young players, I think Southampton's results will not fluctuate too much."

"And the key to this team's relegation this season mainly depends on the performance of their midfielder Yunfei. This young midfielder contributed 23 assists in the league last season, which is unprecedented. It's a pity that this was only created in the English Championship, so it didn't get more attention. But even so, it has already demonstrated the direct assist ability of this midfielder. We are looking forward to the performance of this young midfielder this season. As long as he continues to maintain his previous level, Southampton will maintain great competitiveness. I look forward to it His performance with Southampton."

"Estimated ranking, 15th!"

This is the prediction of Southampton's season ranking given by Sky Sports in this season's preview program before the start of the season. Such a ranking also shows that they are cautiously optimistic that Southampton will succeed in relegation.

But to be honest, Yunfei is really not sure about the team's performance this season. How the team's performance will be can only be seen in the league!
And the first opponent Southampton will face this season is Toffee Everton!

At the press conference before the game, Redknapp took Yunfei to accept interviews from the media.

Redknapp was very low-key, repeatedly emphasizing that they are just newly promoted, and relegation is the biggest goal of this season. Facing Everton, which is obviously stronger than their own, or in an away game, the biggest goal is to get a draw.

The reporters saw that some couldn't break through from Redknapp, so they could only turn to Yunfei.

"Yunfei, you got 23 assists in the league last season, which is impressive. Now many people assert that you may not get even one assist in half a season in the new season. What do you think about this problem?" The reporter's question came up with obvious routines, trying to provoke Yunfei

"Aren't you the ones who questioned me?" Yunfei made a joke, which caused the reporters in the audience to laugh uncontrollably. "I've never been a person who cares about statistics. I don't care about my assist statistics at all. As long as the team can win, I don't have any pressure!"

"Do you mean that you admit that you may not get an assist for half a season?"

"As for this question, I think after watching this game, you won't ask any more!"

"You mean you have the confidence to get an assist in this game?"

"Let's wait and see!"

Yunfei smiled lightly, for this match, he has already made sufficient preparations, and he will use his performance to slap these people in the face!

……

"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the boy!"

David Moyes looked at the newspaper in his hand and smiled.

His assistant glanced at the content of the newspaper, and saw the headline read: "against Everton, I will definitely get an assist!" The accompanying picture is an extremely young face.

"David, don't underestimate the enemy!"

"I'm not intimidated by a kid, man!"

Moyes smiled. Since he came to Everton in 2002, this is the fifth year he has coached here. He has seen too many young talents, but there are not many who can please him in his hands.

"Don't worry, I will let these young people experience the hospitality of Goodison Park Stadium!"

……

August 2006, 8, Goodison Park, Everton vs Southampton!
In the home team's locker room.

"Before the game, a lot of media praised Southampton, saying how amazing their performance was last season, how amazing their young people are, and they will definitely be able to successfully relegation this season!"

Speaking of this, Moyes paused, his eyes swept to his players.

"I think they have been away from the Premier League for a year, and they have forgotten what kind of league this is and what kind of existence media reporters are. I think after this game, what I saw in the media was complete doubts about them. I don't like this kind of hypocritical flattery. Today, let us bring them back to reality!"

"Carsley and Davis, the two of you are mainly responsible for defending Yunfei. You know what to do. Since he wants to get assists in this game, let's try!"

"Understood! Head! Don't worry!"

Moyes nodded in satisfaction at the energetic answers of the two players.

"In the first game of this season, I want a victory to make a good start for this season. Southampton can only count them unlucky when they meet us!"

Moyes said domineeringly, which aroused unanimous applause and applause from the players in the locker room!
