Chapter 51 A Ticket

Chen Zhun nodded with a smile, thinking: lovely fans, lovely players.In his previous life, he was originally a reserved and quiet person, but after traveling to England, he felt that he didn't know himself anymore. Looking back on these few months, he was a little dull at the beginning, and he didn't know much about himself in the competition. Dare to yell and direct the game, just stand there and watch the game. After slowly adapting to the game, Chen Zhun liberated his long-repressed personality, and gradually infected the players with his words and actions on the court We don't know whether David Winston's memory changed us or the atmosphere here changed us.

Chen Zhun cleared his throat at this moment: "Ahem, I have to announce something, everyone listen carefully!"

"Is it a matter of treating guests to dinner! Boss, don't forget this!" Someone yelled.

Chen Zhun thought to himself: "My good guy, I'm still thinking about this matter. It seems that I can't escape. As the head coach, I must do what I say."

"Okay! Let me tell you that you have won today's game. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will rest, and then I will treat everyone to dinner tomorrow night!"

"Huh! Long live! Long live Southampton! Long live David Winston!"

Looking at this scene, Chen Zhun smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

After Southampton defeated Arsenal, the happiest was not Southampton himself, but the Blues Chelsea led by Mourinho.Their away victory over West Bromwich Albion reached 24 points in this round, and they are only two points away from the top-ranked Arsenal team. The third place is Everton, which is also advancing rapidly. There is also only two points away from Chelsea in front. No.4 is Southampton, and they are also two points away from Everton.The most unexpected thing is that Manchester United, which has won the most Premier League titles, is now ranked 15th with only 10 points.

At the end of the war, Chen Zhun himself had two days of rest, but when he thought about it carefully, the rare two days of vacation were more than the training period.Except for the time tomorrow during the day, the rest of the time has already been taken care of.Dinner in the team at night, Arnesen returns from Holland the day after tomorrow, and Rudick will also come back with a new month's scouting report.Chen Zhun felt dizzy thinking about it.

The team bus returned to the Staplewood training base, and the players disbanded on the spot, went back to their homes, and looked for their wives.

Chen Zhun also drove back to his warm hut after finishing some things.Thinking that he could finally sleep in tomorrow, Chen Zhun opened a bottle of red wine that David Winston had treasured for a long time with great interest. The red wine was bitter at first and then sweet.After drinking a small glass of red wine, Chen Zhun actually felt a little drunk, so he took a shower, lay down on the extremely comfortable big bed and fell asleep comfortably.

As the old saying goes, people are not as good as heaven.Chen Zhun's wishful thinking was completely disrupted by the phone call in the morning.

"Hello, David? Are you still awake?" The voice of his right-hand assistant Reed was on the other end of the phone.

Chen Zhun, who had just been woken up by the phone, was in a bad mood, and was about to yell at the caller, but when he heard it was Reed, he swallowed the words back abruptly.

"What's the matter? Rice, you called me so early?" Chen Zhun also said angrily.

"What's the matter?! You are going to be punished by the FA! Come to the training base immediately." Reid finished speaking quickly and then hung up.Chen Zhun heard the noise inside.

Although Chen Zhun felt the anxiety in Reed's words, he still got up slowly and got dressed.It was almost an hour before Chen Zhun arrived at the training base.

Chen Zhun parked the car and walked to the office. He found that Reed was waiting for him at the door of the office building.

"Why did you come here!" Reid also saw Chen Zhun coming here, and asked Chen Zhun straight away.

Chen Zhun made up a random reason: "Traffic jam! What's going on? Rice."

"You will know when you go up."

Reid took Chen Zhun to the door of the chairman's office.Only then did Chen Zhun realize that the matter was a bit serious.When he made a kneeling motion, he knew that such a motion would not receive any punishment, but who knew that in the end Chen Zhun bumped into the line referee impartially, which caused the matter to develop in another direction.

Chen Zhun followed Reid into the chairman's office. Chairman Rupert Lowe was sitting at the desk looking at something, and the news director Jansen stood beside him.Chen Zhun could feel the oppressive atmosphere in the office.

When Rupert Rowe saw Chen Zhun, his face softened a little, and he said, "David, you are here, I think you should take a look at this." After speaking, Rupert Rowe returned the paper in his hand All the newspapers next to him were given to Chen Zhun.

Chen Zhun took the paper and saw that it was a fax sent to him by the FA. The fax stated that Chen Zhun injured the linesman because of kneeling in yesterday's game. Such behavior lacks sportsmanship and affects the field Internal security, Chen Zhun is invited to attend the hearing in London in the afternoon.

Holding this fax, Chen Zhun was furious, thinking that the English Football Association would do this, who knows who is behind the instigation and bullying! : "Absurd, really absurd, everyone can see that I didn't do it intentionally to the linesman, but is the FA going to punish me indiscriminately like this?"

Rupert Lowe did not answer Chen Zhun's words, but said: "I understand you very well, David, the club will always stand by your side, and we will not bow our heads like those clubs with high power. This is Nan'an Bottom line at Puton Club."

Hearing the chairman's words, Chen Zhun felt a little comfort in his heart: "Thank you, chairman."

"You still have to go to the hearing, and Yang Sen will go with you in the afternoon." Rupert Lowe continued.

Chen Zhun nodded, and then picked up the newspaper on the desk, which was the Daily Mail.

The headline of the sports section of the Daily Mail is "Sliding and Kneeling in the End Era", and the picture shows him domineeringly sliding on his knees, clenching his fists and roaring.However, the comments in the newspapers said that Chen Zhun's kneeling action seriously insulted the Arsenal fans. A survey was conducted to see what the public opinion was, and the result of the survey was that 70% of the fans believed that they should be punished.

"Okay, cheating, the same caliber, hateful British media, no wonder Mourinho hates you so much, I have learned a lot today." Chen Zhun cursed inwardly.At the same time, Chen Zhun also lamented that the FA's handling of affairs is so fast, maybe this is the unspoken rule of the giants.

"Go get ready, the hearing will be at one o'clock in the afternoon." Rupert Lowe said to Chen Zhun and Jansen.

The hearing was scheduled for a meeting room in a London hotel with just four of English football's leading figures.They have to collect evidence and hear Chen Zhun, and then make a judgment based on the video of the game and the testimony of all parties.

When Chen Zhun went in, he was still very nervous. It was the first time in his two lives that he had encountered such an interrogation. He was afraid that he would be banned by the FA for five or six games and fined tens of thousands of pounds, thus completely ruining his coaching career. .But the development of the matter surprised Chen Zhun. The FA's handling efficiency was really fast. It only took an hour. Based on the fact that Chen Zhun's kneeling action was not intentional to collide with the referee, and it was the first offense, the FA decided to Chen Zhun was suspended for one game, and Chen Zhun was warned to restrain his behavior in the arena in the future.
