song of the saints

Chapter 57 David!David!
Chen Zhun's mood these days has become much clearer because of David Winston's letter.In a blink of an eye, it came to November 11th.

This morning, the Premier League officially announced the winners of the double best awards in October. Portsmouth coach Harry Redknapp was elected as the best head coach of the Premier League in October, while Crystal Palace's bald shooter Andy Johnson He became the best player by virtue of his consecutive scoring performance that month.At that time, Chen Zhun, who was the most vocal at the time, was also directly out of the game because of his kneeling work, and missed the best coach of the month for the third time. Southampton fans were very angry when they got the news. .Of course, in today's home game, they will also sing "David! David!"

Chen Zhun was not disappointed by the news, because he didn't care about personal honors, he cared more about the team's performance and how far Southampton could go.In the short term, it determines how long he can stay at St. Mary's Stadium. In the long term, good results can enhance the prestige and financial strength of the Southampton team.

Before the start of the game, Chen Zhun came to the team locker room. When Chen Zhun opened the door and went in, the players all looked at him, and applauded.

This little action has become a regular ritual for Chen Zhun to enter the locker room.Chen Zhun smiled and said: "I hope that at the end of the game, I can still hear your applause. I won't say much in today's game. We will play according to our usual training and hold our ground. Although West Bromwich Albion ranks low. , but Kanu on their front line is still a ruthless character, and the defenders must concentrate on preventing him."

After Chen Zhun finished speaking, he walked up to the team members, put his right hand in the air, and the team members put their hands on it one by one.

Chen Zhun saw the 16 players put their hands on it and said loudly: "Southampton! Southampton!"

The team members shouted in unison: "We must win! We must win!"

Chen Zhun left the locker room and went to his seat to watch the game as a spectator.Although it is just [-]:[-] in the afternoon and there is still half an hour before the game, the diehard Southampton fans have already arrived at their fixed seats.When the fans saw Chen Zhun coming out of the player tunnel to the stands, the audience burst into applause like waves.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Zhun was moved and had the urge to cry, but he held back.As he walked to his seat, he applauded the fans in the audience, responded to their actions, and shook hands with the fans next to him from time to time.

"Hey David! You're fantastic! You're the right choice for Southampton!"

"David! You'll be Southampton's Alex (Ferguson)!"

"David! We love you!"

Fans passing by Chen Zhun screamed their most sincere thoughts.

"Oh!! Oh!! David!! David!!" "Victory! Victory! Defeat all opponents! Victory! Victory! Defeat all opponents!" Suddenly, the game hadn't started yet, and the fans spontaneously stood up and started today Sing loudly for the head coach in your mind.

Chen Zhun was very surprised by the behavior of the fans. Although he had heard Kevin Phillips say that the fans would sing this song today, he did not expect it to be so spectacular and wonderful.

Chen Zhun also stood up and applauded fans from all directions on the field.

The singing is so beautiful.The fans are so cute.There is no reason not to dedicate one's life to it.This is already the best reason!For the fans!For Southampton!This is Chen Zhun's thoughts at the moment, thorough and accurate.

The singing of the fans can also be vaguely heard in the locker room.

"Hey, did you hear that! I really want to see what this is like!" Kevin Phillips said to the crowd.

But such an exciting game before the game failed to turn into a victory on the court.West Bromwich Albion obviously came prepared. They did not attack easily in the game, but compressed their own half to defend. The coach of West Bromwich Albion knew that Southampton's best place was to counterattack and hold back. Without this goal, the Southampton team is equivalent to abolishing half of their martial arts.It was also difficult for the Southampton team to find opportunities in the positional battle. The penalty area was full of West Bromwich Albion players. They wrapped Kevin Phillips and James Beatty into dumplings and couldn't move.

Chen Zhun also felt more and more that when the team's tactics could not be successfully implemented on the field, it was also an embarrassment for the team that no star stood up and relied on his own ability to break the deadlock.

It was also the first time for Chen Zhun to watch his team's game from the audience's perspective.He feels that this angle is clearer, more three-dimensional, and more intuitive to see every detail that happens on the court than he feels on the coach's bench.He decided to ask Rudick to send a scout after the game to collect videos of every Southampton game, because not every Southampton game is broadcast live.

In the end, Southampton failed to beat the seemingly weak West Bromwich Albion at home in this game, and scored 1-1. It was center James Beatty who scored the goal for Southampton.

Looking at the lost players on the pitch, Chen Zhun remembered the saying "There are no underdogs in the Premier League." This game confirmed the meaning of this sentence.

Chen Zhun came down from the stands and was about to go to the locker room when he was suddenly stopped by the shouts of a group of children.He followed the sound and saw that it was Griezmann and his youth team members.Next to them are the younger Stones, Chamberlain, Chambers and Luke Shaw, a picture of youthful hope that is still childish.

"Hey, kids, you're here to watch the game too! Sorry, I couldn't bring you a victory!" Chen Zhun happily walked forward and patted their little heads.

Griezmann said timidly: "Uncle David, when can we represent Southampton!"

"Haha, Anthony can't wait anymore. When you are really strong, I will arrange you to play, how about it?" Chen Zhun said with a big smile, and gently stroked their heads.Thinking of this, Chen Zhun felt that he hadn't been to the youth team to watch the game for a long time, and he would go to see it after the match against Portsmouth.

After speaking, Chen Zhun signed them all, and then left with a smile.

When Chen Zhun arrived in the locker room, the atmosphere of the team was a little dull, obviously they were very frustrated that they didn't get this victory.

"Hey, my friends! Why is the locker room so cold today! Don't be so depressed! You performed perfectly!!" Chen Zhun encouraged everyone by patting everyone on the shoulder.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I missed so many chances!" James Beatty said guiltily.

"Oh! James, don't blame yourself, this is the game, this is football, every player can't be in a good state every game. Don't you think it will be boring to win all the time. Occasionally a setback will make us feel bad. Victory is more full of hunger. Don't think about this draw anymore, there are more than 40 games waiting for you. Win or lose is up to you!"

The players originally thought that they would hear the head coach's scolding, but they didn't expect it to be encouragement, which made them admire and believe in the head coach.

Chen Zhun put his right hand in the air again, and said with a smile, "Come on!"

"Victory! Victory!"
