Chapter 54 Small Contest

Unlike Southampton's joyful atmosphere celebrating the victory with the fans, the Sheffield Wednesday players who watched the entire game but failed to score a point were full of frustration.

After the start of the season on Wednesday, Sheffield only scored 2 points including this game. It can be said that they are on the road to relegation from the beginning.

The situation on Southampton's side is much better. After the start of the season, a wave of three consecutive victories and 9 points allowed them to reach the top of the league standings, which is a good start for this season.

"This season is still very long, and our performance is also very good, and I hope everyone can maintain this state!"

Redknapp said slowly, he is still satisfied with the result of today's game. No matter who comes against such an opponent, he will find it very difficult. After all, breaking the dense defense is a world-class problem, so it is good to win, and there is no need to be too demanding on the players.

And it was Redknapp himself who, after the game, had already put all his thoughts on his opponent in the next game, Norwich.

As a difficult brother who was relegated with Southampton last season, Norwich's strength should not be underestimated, but Norwich's start to the season is not very good. They tied for three consecutive games, and they have some problems on the defensive end.Although they are always able to score goals first, they always concede goals. This should not happen, but since it happened, it is easy to understand their current position.

"We lost a lot of main players this summer, but fortunately, the overall framework is still relatively intact, and the strength of the midfield is basically preserved. This is why we have not conceded the ball in the league so far. The stay of a large number of main players allows us to face the opponent's impact without panic."

Redknapp analyzed the team's performance this season, and the players nodded frequently. In the final analysis, the team's biggest loss in the summer was the front line. Crouch's departure caused the team to lose a scoring weapon. However, the players in the midfield have not changed much. These players are all players who have played in the Premier League. It is enough to come back to play in the English Championship, and there is no lack of tacit understanding.

"But Norwich is going to be much worse than us. They have lost almost half of their players. This is a trauma for a team. Their running-in is not enough now, so this is our chance. When we meet Norwich in the second half of the season, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with!"

……

Regardless of the next opponent, fortunately, the game has been won, and the team returned to the training base happily.

Just after returning to the base, Yunfei was pulled aside by the somewhat mysterious Nathan Dell.

"What's the matter, is there another gossip about Gareth, I can tell you, if you continue to behave like this, Gareth will take care of you sooner or later!"

Yunfei casually joked about Dale, Dale is Bai Xiaosheng from the training base, he knows a little about everything, so if you want to know something, you can go to him.

"No, Gareth went crazy today. He practiced defense with us all day. This is the first time I've seen him train so hard!"

"What does his training have to do with you? What's the matter with your picture that seems to be at a disadvantage?"

Yunfei looked at Dale a little strangely, the latter's complexion was not good at this time, he looked scared, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"So I said Gareth is crazy. It's fine for him to practice defense, but he insisted on dragging me. I was forced to follow him in offensive and defensive training for a day, and I ran madly, so I was really exhausted!" Dell opened fire in front of Yunfei at this time, crazily complaining about Bell, an unreliable guy.

While listening to Dell's complaints, Yunfei suppressed the urge to laugh, these two clowns are really too funny, Bell seems to have listened to what Coach Craig said that day, but what kind of operation is it to take Dell for surgery.

However, Dell's words aroused Yunfei's curiosity. He is practicing breakthrough recently, so he can go to practice with Bell.

"Nathan, is Gareth still on the training ground?" Yunfei looked at Dell and asked.

"Still, go, I'll take you to find him!"

After a while, Dell led Yunfei to a somewhat remote training field. Yunfei could see Bell practicing his dribbling from a distance. It seemed that Dell stopped practicing with him and had no opponents, so he stopped practicing defense.

"Gareth, I've found you a new partner!"

Shouting to Bell from a distance, Dale put Yunfei where he was and ran away, making Yunfei who was still standing there look helpless.

"This guy!"

Yunfei smiled and shook his head, he knew that Dale didn't have any good intentions when he suddenly stopped him, sure enough!

When Bell saw Yunfei, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly. Yunfei is really a good opponent. His speed is definitely not as fast as that of Dell and Bell, and his extraordinary skills are also stronger. He is much better in training than him and Dell.

Bell and Dell, two guys who rely on speed for a living, turned into running training as soon as they started training. They were more explosive than anyone else. Not to mention that Dell was tired, he was almost exhausted.

Yunfei could even imagine how these two guys were training today.

"Accelerate! I passed you!"

"Speed ​​up, hey, I'm chasing back!"

"Hey, you can't catch up with me!"

"Hey, you can't get rid of me!"

Thinking about this scene feels magical!
"I happened to be training people recently. Since you want to practice defense, let's practice together. Let me see the results of your training today." Yunfei said to Bell.

"That's just right, come on, you've played two games in a row now, if I can defend you, it means I'll be able to start!" Bell looked optimistic, as if getting into the starting lineup was a matter of minutes.

"I'm just a midfielder, what's the use of you defending me and you don't play the midfielder!" Yunfei secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't hurt Bell's self-confidence. It's a good thing that Bell can be so optimistic.

Yunfei and Bell returned to the training field. At this time, Dell, who ran away just now, got out of nowhere and appeared on the sidelines of the training field.

"Yunfei! Come on! I support you!"

Yunfei didn't even want to pay attention to this living treasure.

"Come on! Let's get started!"

Bell kicked the ball to Yunfei, and the two stood on the court.
