Chapter 39: Intensive schedule

Goalkeeper Scott Rocky's eyes lit up, and he was still worried about the opponent's one-handed goal. He didn't expect the opponent to send a big gift, so he decisively abandoned the goal and attacked.

"Crab special!!!" Seeing this scene, Charlotte broke into the door and yelled. After all, she is still young and not calm enough.

Obviously, Harry Kane also found himself digging a hole for himself, so he moved his legs to speed up to the maximum. Seeing that the opponent's goalkeeper was getting closer and closer to the football, Harry Kane snatched the football before the goalkeeper with a sliding tackle Poke the football, and the football went to the left.

Goalkeeper Scott Loach was startled as he watched from behind Harry Kane as another player wearing the opposing team's red darted closer to a football that had strayed from his budget.

Rocky knew that he was too late, so he simply rushed to block the near corner of the opponent's shot.

Following up was Sturridge. Facing the blocking of the opponent's goalkeeper, he faced the ball and hit the far corner of the goal. The football hit the side net inside the goal without any hindrance.

The referee blows his whistle and points to the center circle - the goal is valid!
Charlotte hugged the person rushing by him, he didn't see who it was, but it didn't matter anymore.Dancing and yelling in the direction of the opponent's penalty area: "Nice job!!! Nice job, guys!!!"

It was the fourth and final goal of the game as Southampton took a point from Vicarage Road in a difficult draw away at Watford with a last-minute counter-attack.

In the locker room, Charlotte praised the whole team. Although it is a pity that they did not get three points, this is not the problem of the players. They have tried their best. Didn't you see that Al Ganassi had cramps in his legs in the end? .

In the press release after the game, Charlotte also said: "My players performed very well. Whether it was behind the score or the opponent's shrinking defense or even a large-scale counterattack, we firmly controlled the situation on the field. But As everyone knows, our team is very young, and our style of play is different from previous seasons, so they still need time to adapt, which is why we failed to score three points, But I am very much looking forward to our rematch against Watford at St Mary's Stadium on the last day of the year and I believe we will be able to get the three points."

As a competitor, Watford coach Sean obviously has a different view: "We underestimated the newly promoted Southampton, so we paid the price and didn't get the precious three points. After the experience, I think we will pay attention to this issue. So I think Southampton should be more pragmatic when they play us in the league for the second time this season, such as trying to get a point at home is the most important thing of."

Charlotte didn't refute the opposing coach's words. To be honest, he really didn't care about the Watford team, and if he had a spat with such a team, it would be a bit self-deprecating. The taste, wait until December 31 to let the facts speak for themselves.

There is not much time left for Charlotte to leave Watford and return to the South Coast, because it will be the third round of the league in three days. Fortunately, the home game is not a big burden.In this way, Charlotte did not give the team a holiday, but in the second day's training, it was mainly restorative training to avoid injuries after the players' physical fitness declined.

There are 24 teams in the English Championship, so there are 46 rounds in the league and there are promotion play-offs at the end of the season, so there are more games to be played in the English Championship than the Premier League, which is why the English Championship starts earlier, of course Not only does the game start early, but the schedule of the English Championship is much denser than those of the Premier League teams that do not have European competitions.

So don't say it is a double match a week, playing three games in seven days in the British Championship is commonplace.

And Charlotte has been complaining about three games a week recently. After playing the Hornets Watford away this Saturday, they will play against their arch-enemy Portsmouth at home next Tuesday, and then go to London to play against the famous team on Saturday. The Hammers help West Ham United, after the Hammers, they will play against Blackpool in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday, and finally go to London to play against another London team, Crystal Palace, on Saturday
That is to say, from the first round of the British Championship against Derby County on August 27th, Charlotte and his Southampton will play seven games in the 20 days from August [-]th.
"Can we still have fun together? Playing seven games in 21 days, one game every three days, including Premier League and quasi-Premier League teams like West Ham and Crystal Palace, these days are simply impossible !" Charlotte complained in the coaching staff meeting room.

The assistant coach Wilkins seemed very helpless: "In fact, the competition in the British Championship is not as low as that of the Premier League, and the schedule is more intensive than the Premier League. Otherwise, it is estimated that the FA itself does not know how to arrange the schedule."

"Okay, to hell with the damn schedule, our most important goal now is the next game, there is no room for error against Portsmouth, this game is not a derby, this is a war between bitter rivals !!" At the tactical meeting, Charlotte set the tone for the team's next game.

Time passed quickly, and two days passed almost in the blink of an eye.

As a "three-good youth" in the new era, Charlotte feels that it is necessary to give his players "patriotic education" so that they love the party, love the people, and be the successors of communism. What, which "three good"?Of course it is good looks, good physical strength and the most important work!
Although Britain is a capitalist country.
"Since the establishment of the club for more than 100 years, we have had nearly a hundred years of hatred with the guys on the opposite side. I know that many people here have joined from other clubs or even other countries, and they are not born and bred in Nan'an. But it doesn't matter! You just need to know that the jersey you wear represents Southampton, and you are Southampton when you wear it. What's more important is that all of us are paid by Southampton Posted, in the words of our country, we wear Southampton clothes, we wear Southampton clothes, then we have to fight for Southampton, and the enemy of Southampton is our enemy!!"

"Now!! In 2 minutes we're going to fight the enemy, yes it's a war guys, we only have two options, then we go down, or they go down, which one do you choose ?” Charlotte's voice was almost roaring, matching his face with bulging veins, it looked a bit hideous.

"Of course they fell!!!"

"Let them go to hell with Portsmouth, there's only one team on the south coast!!" the players chanted in response to Charlotte's pre-war mobilization, or "fudge mobilization".
Adam Lallana, who was fooled by Xia Da, was undoubtedly the youth training product Adam Lallana. Instead of being polite in the past, the handsome young man jumped onto the bench and shouted: "Saints! This is a game." Jihad! I repeat, this is a Jihad!!"

The grievances between Portsmouth and Southampton have a long history. In fact, it is not just Southampton and Portsmouth that have conflicts. Deadly enemy, this is related to who is the "hands-on" of South Coast football.

Southampton and Portsmouth are the closest to the five best teams on the South Coast. The two cities are next to each other, and the drive takes only about 20 minutes.

At the same time, Southampton is the most famous on the south coast. Whether it is education, tourism or traditional maritime industries, Southampton is ahead of other neighbors, and the famous Titanic set sail from Southampton.

But in football, Portsmouth is undoubtedly the best team in history, because they have won two English top league titles, two FA Cup titles and one English Championship title.
