Chapter 274 England's Football Environment
Chelsea only scored two goals in the first half, which basically sealed the victory of the game. Although Yunfei hoped that a miracle would happen, it was obviously unrealistic.

In the second half, Redknapp simply changed some young players to experience the feeling of playing against the top team. Chelsea was also very interested. With two goals in hand, they did not rush to attack in the second half. In the end, Chelsea successfully won the opponent [-]-[-] at home. Chelsea stabilized their top position, while Southampton had to swallow the bitter fruit of the team's defeat.

After the game, Redknapp shook hands with the high-spirited Mourinho, feeling a little lost. This kind of game that he knew he would lose before the game was really boring. At least for him, every second here was very tormented.

For Yunfei, who was lying on his bed at home, the end of the game was a kind of relief. It was not a good experience to watch the team being pinched by the opponent.

"The team gave me a holiday this time, but this time the team has to play against the top six teams in the league. I guess it's too much! Maybe Portsmouth still has some opportunities!"

Yunfei looked at the game schedule posted on the wall, thoughtful.

Portsmouth's performance this season is really quite good. It once occupied the first position in the standings for a long time, which is very rare.Now even though their record has begun to decline, they are still in the top six. This is not an easy task.

For Southampton, everyone can see why they were able to achieve such good results, but Portsmouth and Southampton are completely different. They do not have a star who is in his prime. The only two famous players are two players who have played for Arsenal for a long time.

But veterans are veterans after all. It is impossible for you to expect them to be omnipotent. Campbell is fine. When Kanu falls into a strict defense, the offensive ability of this team will be marked with a huge question mark.The recent decline in Portsmouth's record is also related to this.

Before he knew it, Yunfei had brought himself into the role of the head coach to think about the problem. After thinking for a while, he smiled helplessly. It was useless to think so much, and it would still depend on the performance of his teammates!

After the hopeless game against Chelsea, Southampton had no time to rest, and immediately ushered in the next League Cup match against Newcastle, also a Premier League team. This time, Southampton, who was short of major generals, still put on a staunch defensive posture, while Newcastle United failed to beat Southampton in the away game. The two teams played 90-[-] in the [-]-minute game. The ball shot through the opponent's goalkeeper and helped the team drag into overtime.

Neither team scored anything in extra time, and the result was a penalty shootout.In the penalty shootout, Southampton's young people finally had problems. Many people had not experienced this kind of intense moment, and the results frequently had problems. In the end, Southampton lost to Newcastle in the penalty shootout and were eliminated from the League Cup.

However, despite the loss in this game, Redknapp did not blame the players. Originally, he played so many young people in this game because he didn't like the League Cup very much.On the contrary, the young players are very unwilling. This is a rare game for them to have the chance to play. It is a pity to lose it like this, especially in the penalty shootout.

After the game, Lallana called Yunfei immediately.

"Adam, don't worry about the result of the game. You have done a good job and scored a penalty kick accurately. You can use this to sarcasm and laugh at Nathan. That guy's mentality is not as good as yours. The two years of games are really wasted!" Yunfei naturally persuaded Lallana, he was used to these young teammates coming to him to talk to him.

Sometimes, Yunfei felt that he should go to Redknapp to ask for a salary that belonged to a psychiatrist!

But this time, Lallana wanted to hear Yunfei's evaluation of his performance on the field.

In the current Southampton, almost everyone knows that Yunfei's vision and judgment ability are second to none. Unlike the coaches, he can always give the best suggestions and opinions from the perspective of players.

In this game, Lallana felt that this was his best performance recently, so he hoped to hear Yunfei's opinion.

"Actually, it's really simple to say, that is, while you are still young, try to polish your skills as much as possible. This will determine your upper limit in the future!"

Yunfei really admires Lallana, he runs actively, and has excellent vision and sense of smell in the attack, but sometimes his feet are a little rough, and he can't see it now. This shortcoming may be gradually magnified in the future. This is a clear thing, so Yunfei gave his own suggestions.

Lallana nodded as if he understood something, but Lallana felt a little wronged in his heart. He felt that his footwork was very good. Among his peers, there were very few people who could compare with him in footwork.

As if understanding what the other party was thinking, Yunfei added lightly: "Your physical fitness and endurance may be world-class in the future. When others are as big as you in terms of skills and physical fitness, when will your skills be called superb!"

After finishing speaking, Yunfei hung up the phone.

Yunfei is very clear about what Lallana is thinking. He also came out of the youth team and has a good understanding of the situation inside. The current environment in England is not the kind of environment that respects delicate and small skills.

The Spanish teams, even the players in the relegation team, dare to show off their footwork when facing Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​dribbling the ball to get rid of the press, and the environment in England is really different.

This is also the reason why Yunfei performed so poorly but was able to stay in the youth team, and why Arsenal's coach Arsene Wenger went to Spain to bring Fabregas back. This kind of player is really hard to find in England in this era.

In fact, later on, England's midfielders did not have the type of players like Xavi and Iniesta. The only hopeful Wilshere was ruined by injuries.

At that time, Wilshere had high expectations from all parties when he was just in his early years. There was no way, in the football environment of England, if such a player appeared, it would definitely be highly anticipated.
