Chapter 117: A Season in a Hurry
Southampton's successful draw with Chelsea gave Arsenal hope of catching up, and the difference back to 11 points seemed not so out of reach. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info while Southampton's gap to Middlesbrough was reduced to four points. Thankfully, Southampton have no strong opponents in their fixtures after that. This made Chen Zhun somewhat comforted and reassured.
The next day, the media focused on the big news that Chen Zhun was sent off. The Times, The Guardian, and the Daily Mail all started with "David Winston was furious and suspected of scolding the referee". And once again hyped up the report on this matter. Of course, they also get news from the FA. The FA has started an investigation into the matter, watching the footage, listening to the referee's opinion and looking at the referee's match record. A punishment is inevitable.
Chen Zhun was very relaxed at home. Because it's not the first time he's been punished, he's used to it, facing the atmosphere and scale of the Premier League. No manager is foolproof.
Life goes on. The league will go on.
Chen Zhun went on to lead Southampton to a 1-0 away win over the once-stellar Blackburn Rovers, and it was Lallana who contributed to Southampton.
The win continued to firmly establish Southampton's position in sixth place.
The next day, when Chen and the team returned to Southampton, the team's spokesman, Janssen, called to tell him to go to the FA headquarters to attend a hearing about himself.
Chen Zhun agreed. Then they didn't take it seriously, because the hearing was just a process, and their punishment had already been decided, and this hearing was just an answer to the outside world.
The next morning, Chen Zhun went to London in the car of Janssen, the head of the press department.
The result can be imagined, Chen Zhun was once again banned and punished by the FA.
A three-match ban is punishable by a fine of £5,000. In this way, Brigadier Chen will miss the 33rd, 34th and 35th rounds, but fortunately, the opponents in these three rounds are Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth. Fortunately, except for Bolton, who are in eighth place, the other two teams are all ranked outside the top 10 and pose little threat to Southampton.
Chen Zhun looked at the fine, and then thought about his pitiful salary, and felt that he really had to restrain his so-called "hot" temper. But he thought that if he really made it to the UEFA Cup next year, would he have the capital to negotiate his new contract with the big Chinese consortium. But the root of it all is the post-season standings. Chen Zhun didn't dare to take it lightly.
Time continues to move forward unhurriedly at its own pace, no matter how much people cherish it, how much they waste it, how much they miss it, how much they hate it. It didn't stop to look at the men, but kept walking. Takes away all people's emotions.
In these three games, Chen Zhun was completed in the stands, but the connection with the stadium was closely linked, and Reed also relied on Chen Zhun's small notes every time to control the game.
The first game was played away to Aston Villa and was held to a 1-1 draw. Crouch scored for Southampton in a game that was a three-point goal for Chen, only to be held to a stubborn draw by Aston Villa. In the same round, Middlesbrough defeated Newcastle United. The difference between the two teams has narrowed to four points.
In the second game at home to Bolton, he relied on Glenschal's quick counter-attack to score the only goal of the game, widening the gap between Bolton and himself to an insurmountable gap, and now the only opponent left behind him is Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough also beat Fulham in this round and continued to maintain a four-point gap to Southampton, pressing Southampton to make mistakes themselves, although the seventh place can also qualify for the League Cup, but Chen Zhun still hopes to be as high as possible in the rankings.
In the third game against Portsmouth, Portsmouth at this time is no longer the Portsmouth that Chen Zhun met for the first time, and now they no longer pose any threat to the Southampton team. Southampton comfortably beat Portsmouth 3-1 away from home. The men who contributed to Southampton were Canout, Yaya Toure and Nicky Shore. In the same round, Middlesbrough also continued their winning streak, winning at home to West Bromwich Albion. The score difference is tightly bitten at four points.
The Premier League has entered its final stage, with 34 rounds of matches played. Chen Zhun has also returned from the ban and personally directed the final three rounds against Norwich City, Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Except for Manchester United in the final round, the first two teams can not pose any danger to the current Southampton team, and the opponent in the last round Manchester United is now also desireless, so it seems that Chen Zhun's closing journey can go smoothly. With the end of the league and a series of summative work and work for next season slowly unfolding, it is now the busiest and most sensitive time for Southampton FC, because the news of the club's change of ownership is all over the people, and the speculation is getting louder, and it seems that the time for the change of ownership is getting closer and closer.
As the head coach of this club, Chen Zhun has heard some of them, but Chen Zhun has never been interested in these things that he is not capable of controlling, he just does his best, and next season will even make a good preparation for next season's recruitment, and also want to lay a solid foundation for himself next season.
The last three rounds of the game are just as Chen Zhun thought, the first two games Southampton team was not subject to rumors of changing hands, both won with a score of 1-0, and completely ranked themselves in sixth place, although the Southampton team has played very well recently, but the helpless Liverpool in front of Southampton played more stable, won one after another, firmly controlled the score of the fifth place, and successfully reached the final of the final of the European Champions Cup. Of course, all this was expected by Chen Zhun. Chen Zhun has already bet on the betting odds of the eventual winner, the bet on Liverpool, and also bet on the number of goals scored in the final of the UEFA Champions League, with 6 goals. Chen Zhun only bought this goal odds, and of course, the odds are amazing.
In the final round of the game, Southampton played Manchester United at home, and finally lost 1-2 to Manchester United, unable to draw a successful end at home, but it could not hide the success of Southampton this season.
You know, the real history of Southampton this season is the bottom of the relegation.
When the whistle blew, Chen Zhun proudly walked into the arena and cheered and celebrated with the players, as if he was the champion. Indeed, in the eyes of the fans, their current performance is the champion. (To be continued.) )
