Chapter 266: Di Matteo in bad condition

There is one more game of Charlotte's suspension, but this game is very critical, because it is a game against Chelsea.

Unable to sit on the coach's bench and direct the game, Charlotte can only arrange tactics in advance and prepare several sets of emergency plans at the same time.

However, Charlotte was a bit of a headache for the acting head coach candidate for this game. Obviously, after observing a few games, he obviously felt that Wilkins was not suitable to be the head coach, even if he was acting.
Even Wilkins himself feels this, so it is necessary for Charlotte to reconsider the candidate for the acting head coach.Martin Hunter is the same as Tony Cotton, they are the same type as Wilkins, and they are not suitable to be the head coach, so this trio was ruled out by Charlotte in the first place.

The most ideal candidate is the Spaniard Ajestaran, but Spain has just arrived in Southampton and he doesn't know much about the players of this team.

In the conference room of the coaching staff, Charlotte looked around and finally focused on a tall man.

"I announce that Gary Monk will be the acting head coach for the game against Chelsea the day after tomorrow!" Charlotte put her hands on the rostrum.

The members of the coaching staff all looked up at Gary Monk, who was sitting at the back.

Gary Monk looked confused and pointed to himself: "Me?!"

Charlotte laughed: "Could it be me? You represent this game, and then Dean and the others will help you. In order for you to better integrate into this new role, today and tomorrow the team's training sessions are up to you. hosted"

Gary Monk widened his eyes, he didn't expect that he would be so overwhelmed by the first time he coached the first team
"Welcome everyone to the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London. Here is the 2012-2013 English Premier League No.17 round, Chelsea vs. Southampton, brought to you by Sina Sports."

"The currently newly promoted Southampton unexpectedly leads the standings with 29 points, but Manchester United behind them is only one point behind them, so this season's Premier League is bound to be ups and downs. The injury problem ranking once fell to fourth place, and if the Blues with [-] points do not work hard, they may only be able to keep their current fourth place in the league."

"Southampton coach Charlotte was suspended for this game, so he can only watch the game as a spectator in the stands. We saw two English football players sitting on the left and right sides of Charlotte. The general staff, this is because Charlotte, who was suspended in the last round of the league, passed a small note to the acting head coach Wilkins at the time, so the FA people learned new skills in this game. Skill."

"But I think the FA people think too much, because this game is away from Southampton, and the nearby Chelsea fans will definitely not help Charlotte pass the note."

Chelsea don’t have many tickets for Southampton’s away team. After all, as a giant in London, their tickets are hard to come by. In addition to the home fans, sponsors, partners and club family tickets, most of the tickets also have to come up with A lot of tickets are given to some tourists and foreign fans who come to London to watch the game, so the tickets that can be distributed to the visiting team are already very limited.

In this game, Southampton's away team fans did not occupy a stand, but a small half of the stand. The key is that there are Chelsea fans surrounding them around the top of this stand
Charlotte curled her lips: "Hey, you don't care about this kind of ticket distribution? Hell, do our fans who are so close to us have to bring their own binoculars every time they come to Stamford Bridge to watch football?"

The staff on both sides did not talk to Charlotte, but were very focused on watching the upcoming game on the field, which made Charlotte feel even more bored
"Hey, the acting head coach of this game is not Dean Wilkins, nor Martin Hunter, the two coaching staff members who played for Southampton very early, but Gary Monk?"

"Yes, Gary Monk, who was born in the former Southampton youth training and was invited to join the Charlotte coaching staff shortly after retiring, replaced Wilkins as the acting head coach of Southampton in this game."

Surprisingly, Gary Monk was not stage-frightened when he came up. He waved his hand to signal the team to attack.So everyone saw Southampton's best "attack" at Stamford Bridge again!
Zhan Jun was stunned: "Why do I feel that it is Charlotte standing in the command area of ​​the Southampton coach?"

That's right, Southampton's performance in this game is completely different from the previous game against Reading. If the players who played against Reading were a little shy, then they completely let go in this game.

Charlotte is not surprised by this situation. It is not unreasonable for Gary Monk to be the head coach of Swan Lake directly after retiring from Swansea. In addition, he is very familiar with this Southampton player. At the same time, he has a deep understanding of the tactics currently used by the Saints, so it is not a big problem to serve as the acting head coach of a game.

Charlotte didn't care about the result of the game anymore. He just leaned back in his chair and quietly enjoyed the game, just like an ordinary fan.

On the contrary, the two staff members who were on guard against him were somewhat at a loss as to what to do. They still had a preliminary understanding of Charlotte's temper.Although he is a polite person most of the time, there are also times when he is messy, so they are all on guard against him.

The result itself should be funny, but quietly be a handsome man? !
The staff wanted to yell: "Damn it! I took off my trousers and you just showed me this?"

Although the result of the game was another draw, Charlotte was still satisfied with Gary Monk's performance. At least he showed the ability to exceed Charlotte's expectations when the lead was equalized by the opponent, and then overtaken by the opponent. , He was able to stabilize himself and the emotions of the players, and finally made adjustments to help the team get an away point.

So when the game was over, Charlotte stood up and gave Gary Monk and the players a round of applause.

Gary Monk breathed a sigh of relief, he finally completed the task.Even in an away game against a team like Chelsea, I can score one point, which shows that I have done well.

It's just that Curtis, the chairman of Southampton, who came to the Chelsea box to watch the game, his eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered a little lace circulating in English football a long time ago. It is said that Mourinho led Chelsea to kill all sides in England at that time.

And when Chelsea boss Abramovich was a little dissatisfied with Mourinho, someone once said to Abramovich: "With Chelsea's current lineup and economic strength, even if a dog sits in the head coach position, Chelsea will win."

Curtis naturally does not believe that a dog can lead the team to victory, but what if it is a good head coach.
The draw also allowed Southampton to hand over the top spot in the league standings, because Manchester United defeated the downstream team Sunderland [-]-[-] at Old Trafford at home, so they now overtake the Saints by one point .

However, the pursuers at the back seem to be a bit weak. Although Manchester City also defeated the strong team Newcastle United 2-[-], they are still five points away from No.[-] Southampton, and Chelsea, who is ranked fourth. They are eleven points behind Southampton!
So now there are already good media saying that the league championship this season basically depends on the Manchester City duo and the newly promoted Southampton.

For such a voice, Charlotte naturally wants to lower the team's anger: "We are still fighting for relegation. 41 points does not mean that we will be 100% successful in relegation. We all know that the Premier League has never had a weak team. Especially in the relegation team! Everyone should have seen that now we have lost two rounds in the league, so we are currently facing some difficulties."

Most of the media scoffed at Charlotte's words. I've never seen such a "humble" person. Being humble makes people wonder what to say.

Charlotte successfully lifted the ban, but the first game he lifted was not the league, but the League Cup.

In the middle of the week, Southampton ushered in the fourth round of the League Cup. Although the opponent in this game was Chelsea, Charlotte still came off the bench with all young players.

It's just that what Charlotte didn't expect was that Chelsea also sent young players to play, which meant giving up this championship.

That's right, Chelsea's life in the league is not easy at present. They are ten points away from the championship team. At the same time, they were kicked out of the Champions League and only got third in the group to participate in the Europa League. This makes the defending champion of the Champions League so embarrassing-the defending champion, the dignified defending champion, did not even qualify for the group
It is said that Chelsea's dismissal of Di Matteo is only a matter of time.So in order to save his handsome position, Di Matteo can only concentrate all his strength on the league.

After seeing Chelsea's starting lineup, Charlotte smiled and said to her assistants that Di Matteo was a bit stupid. The fierce League Cup and FA Cup and even the Europa League in the future are king.

As for the league, even if Southampton and Manchester City in front of the Blues are ignored, Manchester United, who were also eliminated by the Champions League, is not so easy to deal with. They can put more experience in the league, and the Red Devils are currently But [-] points ahead of the Blues.
Southampton's teenagers are not strong. In fact, their substitute players and rotation are not outstanding this season. Romeu, Demba Ba, Bertrand and Moses are indeed not in the eyes of Charlotte.

It is incomparable with Sterling, Pogba, Florenzi and De Bruyne who have adapted to the Premier League.Especially De Bruyne, facing Chelsea naturally wanted to express himself, and in the end he scored the best data of the game with two assists and one goal.

In the end, Southampton also defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.
