Chapter 135 Walcott's Sorrow

In the dressing room after the game, Redknapp unexpectedly praised Kenton's performance in the second half.

Regarding Kenton's later performance, the players also agreed with the head coach's point of view. Regarding this, some teammates were still curious about how Kenton suddenly became tough, but facing these questions, Kenton just smiled lightly and did not make any answers.In any case, the recovery of Kenton's state is definitely a great thing for the team. For Southampton, which is currently short of central defenders, any central defender with immediate combat power will greatly supplement the team.

Kenton's recovery made Redknapp heave a sigh of relief. This means that the team's defense will be more stable in the next game, which will undoubtedly play a decisive role in the team's future performance.

At this time, Yunfei was standing by the side of the locker room and looking at the upcoming schedule. He could only say that this period of time was worthy of the devil's schedule. Since the last round against Watford, he played four consecutive matches, an average of one game every three days.As a purely domestic league, excluding any intercontinental competitions and cups, the one that can make such a full schedule is the English Championship.

At this time, Redknapp also cheered everyone up.

"Everyone understands what a second place in the league means, and how important it is to be promoted directly! After this round of competition, we have widened the gap between us and the third or fourth place. I hope everyone can withstand the pressure and fatigue first, and survive this difficult period. Keep your state and try your best to win every next game, and don't give any chance to the teams chasing us. This is our goal for the second half of the season. Now we have made a good start to this goal, and I hope everyone can make persistent efforts!"

The players are actually very excited. No one can be indifferent to the promotion, which means a higher level of competition, greater attention and more salary. This time is actually a real sense of unity. No matter how big the conflict is, it must wait until the end of the season. No one can override the interests of the entire team.

Redknapp is also very satisfied with the current atmosphere of the team, which can be seen from his post-match interview, smiling and in a good mood.

"I am very satisfied with the state of the team. We are now in an advantageous position in the second place in the league. I only hope that we can maintain this advantage until the end of the season. Obtaining the direct promotion qualification for this season is our biggest goal. I also believe that we can achieve this!"

After the game, Southampton’s local sports media generally used these words and Redknapp’s photo as the headlines of today’s newspapers. The fans are also very happy about the current situation. The team’s relegation from the Premier League actually hurt the team’s fans the most, because they don’t know whether the team can return to the Premier League.

No fans want to see their beloved team sink, so the team can now sit firmly in the second place in the league, coupled with the young talents emerging in the team, all this makes the fans full of expectations for the future. They feel that if they can retain the young players of the team, maybe the team can also create a glorious era for the youth army like Leeds United!

……

At this time, there is another person who has the same idea as the fans.

In the dim room, a person quietly nestled himself on the sofa, watching a football match on TV. This match was the just-concluded match between Southampton and Sheffield United.

"Perhaps, if I'm still here, the team can get a few more points!"

Walcott stared blankly at the TV and murmured the question. He didn't expect anyone to answer, because this was a question he was asking himself.

This period of time was very difficult for Walcott. He could not play in the first team and could only play with the reserve team. Coupled with the hostility of the fans, this period of time seemed like years for him. Finally, in a few days, after the next round of matches between Southampton and Cardiff City, the winter transfer window will open. He can also leave this emotionally complicated place for him and start a new journey.

Once, Walcott was looking forward to this day, but when he finally waited for this day, his mentality changed, and he even said that he regretted it a bit.Of course, Walcott himself would never admit that he regretted it. He just felt unwilling to watch Yunfei and Bell gradually becoming the darlings of the city, replacing himself in the hearts of the fans, and leading the team to continuously create better results. For some reason, Walcott just felt unwilling.

Although he knew it was wrong to think like this, but at this time, all kinds of strange thoughts in his head became more and more, so he simply asked for leave these two days, and the team knew that he was about to leave soon, so they let him go without hesitation, and even asked him to move all his own things in the locker room. The meaning was obvious, and he would never use it here again.

The moment he walked out of the team's training base, Walcott breathed a sigh of relief and felt a feeling called ease and freedom, but at this time, he also felt an emotion called reluctance. At this moment, he knew that this team, this city, may be more important to him than he thought!
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Walcott raised his head, looked at Yunfei and Bell galloping across the field on TV, and smiled softly. There was bitterness and relief in the smile.

"Perhaps, you guys can really help the team to another level. Next season, I hope we can meet again in the Premier League. At that time, I will not show mercy!"

Walcott murmured, as if he was talking to another person, and also as if he was telling himself.

"But, don't go too far, otherwise, I might really regret it!"

Walcott curled up on the sofa and buried his head deeply in the sofa. In the dim room, his expression could no longer be seen, only the side of his face, which was reflected by the light of the TV, was crystal clear.
