Svensson set the ball up and Aston Villa's goalkeeper Sorensen set up a six-man wall to defend Svensson's free-kick, but in Svensson's eyes, there was only a goal and no wall. Referee Renie's whistle blows, Svensson runs, swings his leg and shoots the ball. Svensson's shot went in a beautiful arc over the head of the soaring McCann and quickly towards the top left corner of the Aston Villa goal. Sorensen judged the right direction, Sorensen's fingertips touched the ball, but Svensson's free kick was too fast to change the trajectory of the ball, and finally hit the left post of the goal and bounced into the net! Southampton lead Aston Villa 2-0 away. The Southampton fans in the East Stand celebrated like crazy. Svensson was so excited after the goal that he ran to the sidelines to celebrate with Chen Zhun, and the Southampton players also ran together and hugged each other.
The moment Chen Zhun saw Svensson shoot the ball, he felt that the ball was there, Chen Zhun had a premonition that the goal was scored When he saw the goal, Chen Zhun still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he celebrated with Svensson and the other team members. At this moment, Chen Zhun is not a head coach, but celebrates like a friend around them. That's the change Chen Zhun brought to Southampton's players.
The psychological defence of the Aston Villa players collapsed with the goal of the free-kick. With the remaining 15 minutes of the game, Southampton began to control the ball and the 10 Aston Villa players on the pitch were in a state of confusion for the first half.
At halftime, Chen Zhun didn't give too many instructions, just let the players continue to play at the pace of the first half to avoid injuries and unnecessary fouls. If the first half of the game was a Premier League game, then the second half of Southampton's match with Aston Villa can only be attributed to the level of the second division of Europe, and only one goal was contributed in the entire second half, and it was Southampton in the 70th minute of the game, Svensson once again seized a mistake from the opponent to score a long-range goal, scoring twice. In the end, the score was fixed at 3-0.
Chen Zhun's first official Premier League game ended perfectly with a hearty victory. When Rainey blew the whistle for the end of the game, Chen Zhun finally calmed down after 90 minutes of anxiety.
At the post-match press conference, Chen Zhun and goal-scorer Svensson attended the press conference. The eyes of this press conference were all attracted by Chen Zhun.
Q&A session with reporters.
"Hello, Mr. David, I'm a reporter for the Daily Mail. First of all, congratulations to you and your team on the win and please give a word about Kevin Phillips' injury. Is there anything you would like to say about this foul? ā
Chen Zhun thought for a while and said: "I just communicated briefly with the team doctor, and the hospital's diagnosis is an ankle injury, and the specific cause needs to be further diagnosed. That's the way it is now. As for the foul, it was unsportsmanlike and the referee made the right decision. ā
"Hello, Mr. David, I'm a reporter for the Mirror. I heard Aston Villa fans say after the game that Southampton were just lucky to win the game. What do you think of this? ā
Chen Zhun pursed his lips and said, "That's a completely wrong statement, they are just jealous of us." My players played according to my tactics throughout the game, they played perfectly and the important thing is that we won the game. When it comes to the process, I pay more attention to the result. I don't care what way we win. ā
The journalist went on to ask: "Could you please tell us about Southampton's goals for the season? ā
Chen Zhun began to accumulate character, and said lightly: "Relegation." ā
Chen Zhun returned to the locker room, and the players all applauded Chen Zhun. Chen Zhun was in a trance for a while, thinking that this was a celebration after winning the championship, but in Chen Zhun's later memories, the most impressive thing in his mind was the victory he coached.
At this time, Chen Zhun's mobile phone rang, and when he picked up the phone, he saw that it was the phone of Chairman Rupert Lowe.
"Hello, Mr. President."
'David, congratulations on leading Southampton to their first victory, I'm very pleased with your command of the game and the club's hierarchy are happy with you. Congratulations again. Rupert Lowe looked happy on the other end of the phone. After all, David Winston was signed by Rupert Lowe, and now that he has won, Rupert Lowe's face naturally shines.
Chen Zhun dropped the phone from Rupert Lowe and received a call from Prost, both of which roughly meant the same thing, congratulating the rookie head coach on the good news of winning the first game of his coaching career.
For a while, David Winston's mobile phone was on fire, and some of David Winston's former friends and colleagues congratulated him. For the first time, Chen Zhun experienced the feeling of being famous.
Chen Zhun didn't care about the mobile phone that kept vibrating, but made a post-game summary in the locker room.
"Guys. You had a great game on the pitch today. Thank you for your hard work and deserve to win this game. But this victory is not enough to make us slacken. We're going to keep going and defeat all the opponents. Tomorrow we will have a day off and the day after tomorrow we will train in earnest. Chen Zhun said in an impassioned voice.
The team members listened with excitement and shouted loudly. They thought to themselves that they had finally met a good head coach, they were happy to play under Chen Zhun every day, and Chen Zhun could mobilize a relaxed and happy atmosphere on the training ground every day.
The Southampton team was greeted by a large number of fans when they returned to Southampton City after the game. This reminded Chen of the real world, Southampton's devastated expressions after this season's relegation, and the ecstatic expressions of the fans now are in stark contrast. European club fans are such a lovely group, most of them are ancestral loyalists, they are loyal to one team for the rest of their lives, no matter whether that team is at its peak or sinking, they will spare no effort to shout their last voice on the scene. Of course, such a football atmosphere can also lead to extreme football fans, such as the famous English football hooligans. The heart-wrenching "Heysel tragedy" was the work of English football hooligans. On May 29, 1985, Liverpool and Juventus met in the UEFA Champions League final at the Heissel Stadium in Brussels. In the stands, the police and staff did not separate the fans of the two teams in time. As the game progressed, there was constant abusive and throwing behavior from fans on both sides. Football hooligans mixed with Liverpool fans fought with Juventus fans, causing the stands to collapse, crushing 39 Juventus fans to death and injuring more than 300 on the spot, in what became known as the "Heysel tragedy". Originally, fans from all walks of life were going to cheer for their beloved team, but they left their lives forever at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels. As a direct result of the "Heysel tragedy", Liverpool lost the Champions Cup, which was even more serious, and the biggest blow to English clubs was that all English teams were banned from European competitions for five years after the game, and Liverpool for seven years. This made Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, including Liverpool, miss the opportunity to dominate Europe at that time. Chen Zhun recalled this sad history, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad, just a few days before his crossing, the English football hooligans in France at the European Championship came into full swing again, and they had a fierce clash with Russian fans in France.
