Chapter 57: David! David!
Chen Zhun's mood has become much brighter these days because of David Winston's letter. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in a blink of an eye, it came to November 6th.
The Premier League officially announced the winner of the double award for October this morning, with Portsmouth veteran Harry Redknapp named Premier League Manager of the Month for October, while Crystal Palace's bald goalscorer Andy Johnson was named the best player for the month. Chen Zhun, who had the highest voice at that time, was also directly out of the game because of his sliding work, and missed the best coach of the month for the third time, and the fans of the Southampton team were very angry when they got the news, and they scolded the FA and the Premier League for not being their parents. Of course, in today's home game, they will also sing their own "David!" for Chen Zhun who watched the game in the stands. David! ”
Chen Zhun was not much disappointed with the news, because he didn't care about personal honors, he cared more about the team's results and how far Southampton could go. In the short term, it determines how long he can stay at St Mary's, and in the long term, good results can boost Southampton's prestige and financial strength.
Before the start of the game, Chen Zhun came to the team locker room, and when Chen Zhun pushed the door open and entered, the players all looked at him, and then burst into applause.
This small action has become a fixed ceremony for Chen Zhun to enter the locker room. Chen Zhun smiled and said, "I hope that when the game is over, I can still hear your applause." I didn't say much in today's game, we played according to our usual training, and although West Bromwich Albion were at the bottom of the rankings, Kanu in their front line was still a ruthless character, and the defenders had to concentrate on preventing him. ”
After Chen Zhun finished speaking, he walked up to the team members, put his right hand in the air, and put the hands of the team members on it in turn.
Chen Zhun saw that the hands of the 16 team members were on it, and said loudly: "Southampton! Southampton! ”
The team members shouted in unison: "Victory!" Win! ”
Chen Joon left the locker room and went to his seat to watch the game as a spectator. Although it was 2.30pm and half an hour before the game, Southampton fans had already arrived at their seats. When the fans saw Chen Zhun walking out of the players' tunnel and heading to the stands, the fans broke out into applause like waves.
When Chen Zhun saw such a scene, his heart was moved, and he had the urge to cry, but he held back. He clapped the crowd as he walked to his seat, echoing their actions, occasionally shaking hands with the fans next to him.
"Hey, David! You're amazing! You're the right choice for Southampton! ”
"David! You'll be Alex (Alex) of Southampton! ”
"David! We love you! ”
The fans passing by Chen Zhun screamed loudly what they really thought in their hearts.
"Oh!! Oh!! David!! David!! "Victory! Victory! Defeat all opponents! Victory! Victory! Defeat all opponents! "Suddenly, before the game even started, the fans spontaneously stood up and started singing loudly for their manager today.
Chen Zhun was very surprised by the fans' actions, although he had heard Kevin Phillips say that the fans would sing this song today, but he didn't expect it to be so spectacular and wonderful.
Chen Zhun also stood up and applauded the fans in all directions of the stadium.
The singing is so beautiful. The fans are so lovely. And why not dedicate your life to this? That's already the best reason for that! For the fans! For Southampton! This is Chen Zhun's thoughts at the moment, thorough and accurate.
You can also faintly hear the fans singing in the locker room.
"Hey, do you hear me! I'd love to see for myself! Kevin Phillips said to the group.
But it was so exciting before the game that it couldn't turn into a win on the field. West Bromwich Albion obviously came prepared, they did not attack easily in the game, but compressed their own half of the field to defend, West Bromwich Albion coach knew that the most powerful part of the Southampton team was the counterattack, choked this goal, Southampton team is equivalent to abolishing half of the martial arts. Southampton also struggled to find a chance in positional battles, with the box full of West Bromwich Albion players who wrapped Kevin Phillips and James Beattie into rice 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, no star stood up and relied on his own ability to break the deadlock, which was also the embarrassment of the team.
It was also the first time for Chen Zhun to watch his team's game from the perspective of a spectator. He felt that this angle was clearer than what he felt in the dugout, more three-dimensional, and more intuitive to see every detail of what happened on the field. He decided to have Rudick send a scout to collect footage of every Southampton game after the game, as not every Southampton game is live.
In the end, Southampton failed to win at home against a seemingly weak West Bromwich Albion side and played 1-1, with the goal for Southampton being centre-forward James Beatty.
Chen Zhun looked at the lost players on the field and remembered a sentence: "There is no weak team in the Premier League." This match confirms 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 looked over, and it turned out to be Griezmann and his youth team mates. Next to it are the younger Stones, Chamberlain, Chambers and Luke Shaw, all of whom have a childish youthful hope.
"Hey, kids, you're coming to see the game! I'm sorry I didn't get you a victory! Chen Zhun happily walked forward and touched their little heads.
Antoine Griezmann timidly said: "Uncle David, when will we be able to play for Southampton!" ”
"Haha, Anthony can't wait. When you're really strong, I'll put you on the field, okay? Chen Zhun said with a laugh and gently stroked their heads. Chen Zhun also 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 game with Portsmouth.
After Chen Zhun finished speaking, he signed them all, and then left with a smile.
By the time Chen arrived in the locker room, the atmosphere was a bit dreary, and it was clear that they were frustrated that they didn't get the win.
"Hey, my friends! Why is it so cold in the locker room today! Don't be so frustrated! You guys behaved perfectly!! Chen Zhun patted everyone's shoulder and encouraged.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I missed a lot of opportunities!" James Beatty said guiltily.
"Oh! James, don't blame yourself, this is the game, this is football, every player can't be in good shape every game. Don't you think it's boring to keep winning? Once in a while, a setback can make us even more hungry for victory. Don't think about this draw, there are more than 40 games waiting for you. Victory or defeat is yours! ”
The players originally thought that they would hear the head coach's reprieve, but they didn't expect it to be encouragement, which made them admire the head coach in their hearts 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! ”
