Chapter 56 Difficult
St. Mary's Stadium.

The cheering sound of the fans is still spreading from the stands around, but if you feel it carefully, you can hear the anxiety and helplessness contained in it.

The huge electronic screen at the side of the court shows the time at this time, 87 minutes, but the dazzling zero to zero next to it tells everyone that this game will definitely last every minute and every second.

Yunfei was panting heavily on the field, at this moment he seemed to be on a plateau, he felt out of breath, his chest heaved up and down violently like a bellows, sweat dripped down his face along his hair, and it was almost connected into a string.

This is the first time since he started the game this season that the head coach did not choose to replace him in advance. In fact, the team has already completed three substitution adjustments at this time, but he has not been replaced by Redknapp.

The feeling of loss of physical strength is not good, but Yunfei can only persevere, he even feels that if he falls to the ground again, he may never have the strength to stand up again.

No one would have thought that this game would be so tragic. Norwich City was determined to draw this game. From the first minute of the game, they never thought about winning. The chances in the frontcourt were either crosses or long-range shots. Instead, they were very active in defense.

"Yunfei, are you okay?"

Walcott, who had just been replaced, asked with concern, although he had already noticed that Yunfei's physical fitness might not be good off the court, but when he came to the court, he realized that Yunfei might have exhausted his physical strength at this time, and his face was terribly pale.

"good!"

While panting, Yunfei stared at the opposite guy wearing Norwich's traditional yellow jersey.

Andy Hughes, this seemingly unknown guy, caused huge troubles for Yunfei in the game. His strong body and all kinds of insidious tricks made Yunfei extremely annoying. Every time the two of them had physical contact, there was a momentary collision, but just at this moment, there might be a pinch mark on Yunfei's body.

This is also the reason why Norwich coach Nigel Worthington will let Andy Hughes start. Compared with other defensive midfielders currently sitting on the bench, Andy Hughes is physically strong and fast.

This was the first time Yunfei encountered a player who played so many defensive tricks. His long experience in the lower leagues taught Andy Hughes a lot of "practical" tricks. Obviously, these tricks came in handy when dealing with Yunfei.

When Yunfei was restricted, Southampton's frontcourt offense would undoubtedly be greatly affected. Yunfei, who had been entangled with his opponents, was unable to help the team on the offensive end. This situation did not improve until Suleman came on the field to help Yunfei share part of the organizational tasks.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with!" Yun Fei thought to himself, "But you can't keep up physically now!"

That's right, Andy Hughes, who has been running for the entire field, undoubtedly has physical problems, but his strong body has played a role at this time. Even though his physical fitness has almost bottomed out, there is no problem at all on the surface. Only Yunfei, who has been entangled with the opponent, can feel that the opponent's strength is actually getting weaker.

At this time, Norwich was holding the ball, and they had been walking backwards needlessly. Perhaps before the start of the game, they still wanted to attack, but at this time the game was coming to an end, and they had no idea of ​​attacking at all. As long as they could get one point, it was enough.

The negative attitude of the Norwich players also caused wild boos from the home fans, but this did not affect these players.

On the sidelines, Norwich coach Nigel Worthington, bathed in boos and curses, seemed calm.

His goal in this game was to get a point. Facing Southampton, who is currently in a hot state, he didn't think about the unrealistic fantasy of attacking and defeating his opponent. All he wanted was to get a point.Norwich's state this season is not good. After relegation, the loss of main players is too serious. He will not hope that his seemingly poor striker can perform miracles, so as long as he keeps this point, it is considered a victory for him.

Looking at it now, his idea is completely correct. Southampton didn't come up with a good way to face such a strict defense, and the most threatening kid in their team was guarded to death by his own players.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was a very correct choice for him to play Andy Hughes today. Although Andy Hughes has no experience in the top league, his annoying defense is really very effective, at least against this young man Yunfei.

"Harry, it's really good not to change Yunfei, his physical fitness has been completely overdrawn, you can see that he can hardly run."

On Southampton's bench, Taylor talked to Redknapp anxiously. He felt that Yunfei should have been replaced a long time ago. Since he has no physical fitness, why put him on the field?

Yunfei on the field was almost walking and kicking the ball. In the past 2 minutes, he didn't even catch the ball.

"Who should I replace him with? There are no midfielders available on the bench." Redknapp replied lightly.

"But, no matter who it is, it's good to change to someone with plenty of energy to go up and charge at this time. It's better than Yunfei who has already taken a walk!"

Taylor didn't understand Redknapp's choice very much. He even felt that Redknapp was a bit too dependent on Yunfei, and the team would not play football without Yunfei. Why bother?
Redknapp ignored his assistant's chattering questions, it was too late to say anything now, what's more, he believed in Yunfei's judgment, if Yunfei really felt that he couldn't play anymore, he would definitely ask to leave, but since he didn't do that, then Redknapp chose to trust his disciple.

And Redknapp doesn't think Yunfei is completely useless now. If the opponent really thinks so, then he will be very happy. He knows Yunfei, as long as there is a little blood smell, Yunfei will tear apart the opponent's defense line like a bloodthirsty shark!
