Chapter 386 : Southampton is going to collapse?
Losing this game was naturally a bit unhappy for Charlotte. Although he had expected the difficulty of the relegation team, he did not expect this game to be so difficult.

Moreover, Sterling, who performed the best in the game, was taken care of by the opponent, which led to his injury in the second half.Since they didn't run towards them on purpose, they just opened up their movements a little while defending.Such defensive actions do not need to be considered malicious or deliberate in the Premier League, and even mistakes are not considered, because in the Premier League, where the intensity of physical contact is very high, such confrontation is very normal.

I just didn't expect Sterling to be unlucky and strained after falling.

The direct consequence of such a defeat is that the teams behind the Saints seized the opportunity. The second-ranked Chelsea are now nine points away from Southampton. Manchester City and Liverpool have also caught up. It's Wenger's Arsenal.

With nine rounds left in the league, nine points is not an insurmountable task.The saints who capsized in the gutter gave other teams hope, because they saw hope.

For the FA Cup, Charlotte discussed with the coaching staff after losing to Crystal Palace. The Saints must strategically give up this championship this season and put more energy into the league and the competition. Champions League.

So in this FA Cup match against Hull City, Charlotte can be said to have not played in the main lineup, even a youth team player like Ward Prowse who is still used in midfield.

In fact, Ward-Prowse was in the same youth team as players like Luke Shaw and Stephens, but because these players matured earlier and their strength was more prominent, they became regulars for the first team early. As a substitute, he has become an important rotation member this season. On the contrary, Ward-Prowse took a longer time to gain a foothold in the first team.

The so-called planting flowers deliberately will not bloom, but planting willows and willows will make shade unintentionally.Charlotte wanted to give up the FA Cup, but she didn't expect that Hull City would be so disappointing and lose to herself.
With a score of two to zero, Charlotte didn't know whether to laugh or cry.A strategic abandonment is not the same as playing match-fixing directly. It is impossible for him to tell his players directly: "You can't win this game. If anyone scores a goal or blocks an opponent's goal, I will never end with you."

So the game still has to be played seriously, but there is no need to work hard.Because Charlotte has seen that his team's injuries have begun to increase, in order to avoid the embarrassment that no one will be available later, he did not let the team go all out, but reserved a little bit of physical fitness.

But it's all won?

Well, winning is considered a happy thing after all, but Charlotte will not be happy if she returns to the league without winning.

In the No.30 round of the league, they were tied at home by the weak Norwich.
That made the Canary Norwich manager very proud as they are the only side unbeaten against Southampton in two league games this season
This also suddenly narrowed the point difference in the league standings to seven points. The media who previously thought that Southampton would win the championship without any suspense this season inevitably began to think that the Saints were about to collapse.

In the history of the Premier League, it is not uncommon for them to lead the opponent by a large margin like this before, and at the same time occupy the leader of the standings for several months, but in the end they failed to win the championship. The most famous is Arsenal. Each season will occupy the league standings leader for a long time, but after the end of the season they are ranked fourth every time.

Some of the media began to analyze, and they believed that this season's Premier League will be full of suspense.Because the situation of multi-line combat brought huge troubles to the Saints, they began to struggle slowly in the league.At the same time, the competitors behind him are getting more and more motivated.Especially Manchester City and Liverpool behind, although they are behind Chelsea in the ranking.

But that's only a point or two. At the same time, the key is that they have already been eliminated in several other fronts this season, and they can sprint to the league with peace of mind, while Chelsea still have a Europa League game.

At the same time, the most critical point is that Charlotte and the Saints are too young. This issue was mentioned by many media last season, and now they are bringing it up again.

The young performances of Charlotte and the Saints don't have much experience, especially the experience of getting out of trouble at the end of the season.They don't have the experience of being chased and bitten by the ass. Although Manchester United caused them some trouble last season, Southampton's lead was obvious in the end. At the same time, there was only one Manchester United team last season. They are chasing after them, but this season they have Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, and even Arsenal behind them are not without opportunities.

Although seeing the saints are a little bit dead, Mourinho still said in an interview with the media that the goal of the Blues this season is not the league championship. Their current goal is exactly the same as that set at the beginning of the season, which is to qualify for the Champions League .

I don't know if it's the truth or if I want to save my character like Charlotte, but after reading the report, Charlotte said that she doesn't believe it.If the counterpoint is reversed, if Charlotte herself may pull the opponent down and sit on the champion's throne, then she will definitely rush forward desperately.

Charlotte can also see that the outside world is creating pressure on her team, and these pressures obviously interfere with her players.So he said with a smile at the pre-match press conference: "I don't know what some people are excited about. I said at the beginning of the season that our goal is still relegation. Judging from the current results, we have completed many rounds ahead of schedule. We have achieved our goal, so we can all have a celebration meeting. I don’t know why some people keep making trouble for us? Want to win the championship? First ask Chelsea if they agree!”

No one would believe such words, so the outside media knew that this was Charlotte's effort to reduce pressure on her team, and at the same time to save her character. You must know that this is Charlotte's forte.

At the same time, he cleverly brought in Chelsea, who had previously expressed no intention of winning the championship. Some time ago, Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini and Liverpool coach Rodgers frequently accepted media interviews to put pressure on Charlotte. The guy is already feeling the pressure, that position is not easy to sit in, as the chasing and being chased, the pressure on the latter must be greater.

Some people in Charlotte's mouth must be referring to Rodgers and Pellegrini, because Chelsea are indeed ahead of them, although only a point or two away
In the second round of the home game against Galatasaray, Charlotte played the main force. For the Saints who have been recharging their energy for a long time, this game can be described as sharpening their swords.

They saved their strength in two league games and one FA Cup game, all for the Turks.

The 3 home fans at home gave the Saints players a source of strength. At the same time, the familiar stadium and high-quality lawn also allowed the Saints to exert their full strength.

In the end, with the goals of Higuain and Rodriguez, the Saints defeated the opponent at home. At the same time, they also eliminated Turkey with a score of [-] to [-] in the two rounds. The Saints reversed and won and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
The only thing that made Charlotte a little depressed was that in the game against Galatasaray, there were injuries in his team. The midfielder Eriksson never got up after being placed by the opponent. In the end, Charlotte could only be Replaced the Danish midfielder with Griezmann.

Griezmann's performance since his injury has been unsatisfactory, so Charlotte temporarily let him sit on the bench.However, it is obviously impossible for Charlotte to waste his talents all the time. When he recovers, he will definitely be a general again. However, the team doctor said that this is Griezmann's own psychological problem and he needs to adjust it himself.

Injuries on the court can easily leave players with sequelae, whether it is physical or psychological, especially the latter is more difficult to heal, so this requires players to adjust themselves.

But the Frenchman who came off the bench sent an assist to Rodriguez, which can be regarded as an indirect declaration of his complete return.

This undoubtedly brought good news to Charlotte. After losing Eriksson, he welcomed back Griezmann.

After sending off the Turks, Charlotte immediately led the team to London to visit White Hart Lane on the weekend.

Tottenham played poorly at the beginning of this season. Several players they signed at the beginning of the season have not yet adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. Instead, Wanya, who was positioned as a substitute and rotation by Tottenham, performed best. It's too late, so this directly led to the dismissal of the Portuguese marshal Boas.

But in the second half, Tottenham's distance kicked better, although the performance of the Argentine genius Lamela who Tottenham valued was still somewhat unsatisfactory.However, several other new players have shown impressive abilities. Coupled with the original team from the previous team, Tottenham unexpectedly jumped up from the middle and lower reaches of the team.

Now Tottenham's league ranking has surpassed Manchester United and Everton, and has become a powerful force capable of hitting the European war in the final stage.

Faced with such a Tottenham team, Charlotte naturally didn't dare to be careless, so he didn't dare to adjust the team's lineup too much.So it seems that Aubameyang, Rodriguez and Griezmann, who played the Champions League with Galatasaray a few days ago, all appeared in the starting lineup, but the small smoker Higuain takes a break, and the starting center is Lukaku.

In the end, Lukaku's performance did not disappoint Charlotte. He provoked the striker's main beam and scored a goal when Higuain was resting.

But this goal did not allow the Saints to take three points, not even one point.

The score was [-]-[-]. Dembele and Wanyama each scored a goal, especially Wanyama's long-range shot surprised everyone. Many commentators even said that maybe Wanyama It was the worst deal Charlotte ever made.

The third goal was a penalty kick from Southampton midfielder Jack Cork, who got the opponent's Spanish center Soldado in the penalty area.In Charlotte's eyes, this pulling foul even seemed a bit of a low-level mistake, but what could he say?

I can only say bitterly after the game: "There is no way, this is football!"
