Chapter 52 "Missing" Yunfei
Looking at Bell who was deep in thought, Yunfei quietly gave Coach Craig a thumbs up. He didn't expect the coach to be so clear about Bell's situation, and his words completely made Bell understand his current situation.

Yunfei and Walcott also have some feelings about Bell's situation. Walcott just thinks that Bell's current state is not very good, but he can't say what's wrong.But Yunfei still has some understanding of this. In fact, although Bell has been training hard during this period, he lacks purpose. Most of the time he just thinks about where to practice. In fact, most of this kind of training is ineffective.

Bell needs to have a clear understanding of himself now, which is very important for his future development. Even if Coach Craig doesn't say it today, Redknapp will talk to Bell after a while. This situation must not continue.

Fortunately, what Coach Craig said today was a wake-up call for Bell, and Yunfei was happy to see the result.

"Go, let him think about it here!" Coach Craig said softly, and then pulled Yunfei towards the players of the youth team.

In fact, since Yunfei and Bell entered the training ground, they have become the focus of attention of the youth team players. Bell is fine, but Yunfei is definitely the most concerned player in the team.

The current youth team has undergone great changes when Yunfei was with him. At least half of the members are no longer in the team. Apart from those who entered the first team and the reserve team, many left the team, so the remaining half are newcomers that Yunfei does not know.

For these players who have just been promoted to the youth team, Yunfei is definitely their role model and goal. After only one year in the youth team, he went from the youth team to the reserve team, and now he has become a member of the first team. He can already start the game. How can this not make these young players feel envious, especially now that Yunfei is actually younger than most of them!
In fact, they are no strangers to Yunfei and there is also the reason of Coach Craig. Every day when Coach Craig encourages and criticizes them, he will use Yunfei as an example. After all, no matter in terms of diligence or speed of progress, Yunfei is absolutely worth mentioning. He is simply a natural material to be used as an example.The players of the youth team were almost calloused, how could they not be familiar with Yunfei.

Now that Yunfei stood in front of them, he could still feel the fiery gaze from them.

As for Yunfei's old teammates, it was a different feeling.

They all knew exactly what Yunfei was like when he came to the youth team.They all knew how Yunfei grew up so quickly, but no one could have imagined that the gap between them would be so large in just one year, which is really embarrassing.

This is also the effect Coach Craig hopes to have. Having Yunfei as an example is definitely an encouragement to the players of the youth team, especially since almost all of their players have found their place in the first team, which is quite rare.

"Don't you guys talk about Yunfei every day, Yunfei is standing in front of you today!" Coach Craig pulled Yunfei to stand in front of everyone, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to give his players a shot in the arm, "He used to be like you, but his hard work and diligence made him stand out in the first team now, so as long as you work hard, you will definitely not be much worse than him!"

"You also know the club's situation. Now is your best opportunity. If you can catch up with this opportunity, you may even have the possibility to directly compete in the Premier League next season. So work hard and don't miss this best opportunity!"

Coach Craig's words made the blood of the young people who just came to the youth team excited, as if they would appear in the first team game in the next moment.

However, the old players who knew the situation well rolled their eyes countless times. Can that guy Yunfei be compared with just hard work and hard work? The most abnormal thing about that guy is the speed of his progress!

……

Time flies, and a few days later, Southampton ushered in their third opponent in the new season, Sheffield Wednesday!

This is an away game, so the team has made enough preparations for the difficulty of this game, and although their opponents have not won the game since the beginning of this season, they have won two consecutive draws.

After the start of the game, the progress was the same as everyone thought. Sheffield Wednesday's offense was mere formality, but the defense was solid. This is the first time Yunfei has seen an opponent with such a tenacious defense this season. Every ball must be chased, and every second counts. He has never relaxed on the defensive end.

Even though Yunfei had experienced the strength of his opponents in the system, he still found it extremely difficult to meet such opponents in reality.

"How to deal with them?"

Yunfei fell into deep thought. Today's team's poor offense is also related to the unevenness of its own personnel. Center Fuller, who scored twice in the last game, temporarily withdrew from the starting lineup due to muscle soreness before this game. Southampton, who lost this striker, faced this opponent who was extremely tenacious in defense, which undoubtedly made the situation worse!
On the opposite side of Yunfei, at this time, someone also thought carefully.

Perhaps because Yunfei was thinking during this period, he seemed a little distracted on the court, which made his opponent seem to see a little chance!
The same young Sheffield Wednesday winger Chris Eagles keenly noticed Yunfei's distraction. At this time, Southampton had pressed the frontcourt. Yunfei stepped back a little because the frontcourt was too crowded. At this time, his teammates passed the ball.

"Chance!"

Eagles, who had been observing Yunfei for a long time, confirmed that his opponent was not concentrating on the field during this time, so he had been quietly lying in ambush beside Yunfei, waiting for his chance to go up, and now, he finally waited for this opportunity!

So when Yunfei was about to step forward to catch the ball, Eagles, like a cheetah patiently catching food, rushed out at the moment when the prey showed a flaw!

"not good!"

Pluton behind Yunfei saw this scene, his face changed, and his body subconsciously ran towards Yunfei's direction. He wanted to block the opponent's forward route at the first time. In his opinion, it was a certainty that Yunfei lost the ball!
