Chapter 159 Disturbance, Harry's Thoughts
If Taylor, Redknapp's assistant, knew what his head coach was thinking at this time, he would definitely laugh at the opponent's hypocrisy. Isn't the current situation what everyone in Southampton wants to see? Yes, it will undoubtedly be ridiculed by the media for a long time, and it is often even taken out to flog the corpse.

Also because of Steve Koppel's inexplicable explosion, Southampton suddenly became the darling of the media. If the Southampton in the past, the media praised their outstanding young players more, then now, they simply praise them in all directions without a lower limit. Obviously, the media hope that this representative they launched can kill Reading and step on the guy who dared to say no to the sports media!

Under such circumstances, the achievements of Southampton this season and the outstanding performance of these young people have appeared in the eyes of more people, which has caused the Southampton club and the head coach to be very troubled. At this time, Redknapp even would rather lose to Reading than this.

It can only be said that Steve Koppel hit Southampton with a crooked shot and hit Southampton hard in another aspect. Without his knowing it, he pulled back a victory.But even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it anymore. Under the current situation, how could he have time to take care of these things.

……

Amid all the disturbance, Southampton came to St. James' Park in a low-key manner. In the fifth round of the League Cup, Southampton played against Newcastle United.

What a coincidence, in the season that was regarded as a classic by the Red Devils fans many years ago, one of the protagonists was Newcastle United, and Southampton, which is now at the center of the whirlpool, happened to meet Newcastle United in the FA Cup. I have to say that perhaps there is a saying of reincarnation in the world.

But fans of Newcastle United may not think so. If it is reincarnation, then Southampton, the beneficiary, should be allowed to touch Manchester United instead of Newcastle United. Could it be said that Newcastle is still the one being bullied after reincarnation?

Of course, these are some anecdotes before the game. In any case, this kind of game is also attracting attention. It should be said that now Reading and Southampton have been placed under a magnifying glass, and every move will be repeatedly interpreted. The follow-up impact of Steve Koppel’s move is slowly emerging. The sports media in recent days has been a mess. A bunch of reporters almost killed Reading with weapons.

Even Redknapp, the opponent, has to sweat for the opponent at this time. Under such circumstances, it is really too difficult to continue their previous victory, but if it really succeeds, it may create a good story!
Going back to this game, Newcastle United is a Super League team after all, and is now very close to the European theater in the Premier League standings. Such a team is definitely not something that Southampton can easily defeat now.

And in this game, although Newcastle United did not play with all the main players, the difference is not too big. There are only a few rotations in the midfield and defense. Facing such a team in the upper middle of the Premier League, Redknapp's idea is very simple, just don't lose too badly.

In Redknapp's view, it is already rare for the team to have the chance to compete for the league championship. It is enough to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

At this time, he was sitting on the bench, thinking about it in his mind, and suddenly felt that this was not impossible. If there was any way to keep these young people, except for a salary increase, would there be anything more attractive than the European War? It was the European War, and these young people would undoubtedly be the main force.

Thinking of this, Redknapp let out a long sigh. The dream is beautiful, but this step is not easy, because he is still on the bench today.

"It depends on your performance. As long as the first half can keep [-]-[-] or only concede one goal, then I will give it a go!"

……

Yunfei, who was sitting not far from the head coach, suddenly felt that the head coach seemed to have become more interested in the game. Unlike the relaxed state before the game, he seemed to care about the result of the game now.

"Boss, what's the matter? Why does he seem a little nervous all of a sudden? Is it because we are afraid that we will lose too badly and damage morale?" Yunfei was a little curious, pushed Bell next to him, and said softly.

"I don't know, maybe I regret not letting me play!"

Bell pursed his lips, his face was filled with unhappiness. The kid applied to start the game before the game, but was beaten back by the coach without hesitation. Since then, he has always had this expression.

"You kid, don't be ignorant of good and evil. The coach is also to protect you and let you rest. What are you doing!" Yunfei shook his head helplessly, his eyes swept away. At this time, Newcastle United basically controlled the situation of the game and kept attacking Southampton's goal.

"I think the boss is too conservative. Why can't we fight in the FA Cup? Who is afraid of anyone? We are so strong this season. Why can't we play against these Premier League teams? Is it good to prepare for the next season?"

Bell was full of complaints now, seeing that the valve was about to open, Yunfei had no choice but to stop the latter from venting further.

"However, you said the boss is too conservative?" Yunfei suddenly seemed to think of something, and then looked at the strange head coach standing on the sidelines at this moment, and had some vague guesses in his heart, "Could it be that the boss changed his mind, no way!"

Yunfei couldn't believe this conjecture in his heart, but the coach's reaction at this time can be said to be a perfect explanation for this conjecture.This time, Yunfei decided to make a magic stick!
"Hey, hey! Gareth, let's make a bet!"

"What do you want to bet on?"

Bell glanced at Yunfei warily. He also knew Yunfei very well.

"Just bet that we will be replaced immediately in the second half, how about it, bet or not?"

Yunfei was smiling now, but in Bell's eyes at this moment, he seemed to see a fox smiling at him in a trance.
