Chapter 275 Bell's Chance!
After the exchange between Lallana and Yunfei, he still didn't understand. He looked around, and besides Yunfei, he really couldn't see any players with really outstanding skills at their feet. This is actually the influence of the environment, subtle.

For this, Coach Craig found him some videos of Cesc Fabregas training in the Barcelona youth team. These things are not easy to find, and they are the coach's own treasures.

After watching these videos, Lallana really broadened his horizons for the first time. Looking at the ability of young players like himself in the videos, the ability to pass and receive the ball, the sudden change of rhythm, the chic and calm control of the ball and the way to get rid of the ball, Lallana felt that his foot skills were a bit lacking for the first time.

Usually, although there is a Yunfei on it, the pressure on only one person is stronger than you and most people are stronger than you are completely different things. After watching the video, Lallana's first reaction is to hone his skills.

So when Yunfei successfully returned to the team, what he saw was Lallana who was training hard on the training ground.

Perhaps it was infected by Lallana, Bell and the others are also training with Lallana, and the head coach Redknapp is very satisfied watching from the sidelines.

However, the very real problem is still in front of him. The next match against Portsmouth will be a tough battle and one he is unwilling to lose.

Although Yunfei has already returned to the team, he is definitely not allowed to start. At most, he will come off the bench. If it is not for special circumstances, Redknapp will not give Yunfei the chance to be a substitute. Now that he has rested, he must rest completely.

"In the next game, Gareth can return to the starting lineup, and our offensive line can become sharper! But if we want to win the opponent, we need more consideration!"

Coming to St. Mary's Stadium, Portsmouth's head coach Paul Groves was mixed. He was happy that the most threatening player in the opponent's team could not play, and he was worried that his team's current state was very bad.

After four wins and one draw at the start of the season, Portsmouth's performance began to decline, winning only two games in the next seven games, which also put a lot of pressure on the head coach Paul Groves.Although the team's requirements for him are not very high, the comparison between the team's current performance and the performance at the beginning of the season will still make the team's supporters and the team's top management feel that the team actually has greater potential, but you have not been able to inspire it.

So sometimes too good grades are not entirely a good thing, which will make some people have undue expectations and enthusiasm.

So Groves is now on fire, whether good or bad grades, his pressure is very high.

However, Yunfei's inability to play obviously gave Portsmouth a chance to beat their opponents away.In the absence of Yunfei for these two games, Southampton's struggles are really obvious.

At the press conference before the game, Redknapp bluntly said that there is nothing wrong with the topic of the team suffering from Yunfei's dependence.

"Yunfei is the brain and soul of the team. His absence should be like this. If his absence has no effect on the team, it would be even more strange!"

This also exceeded the expectations of the media. There are really not many coaches who respond to dependence like Redknapp.But this is the truth. You really have nothing to say. On the contrary, if he said the usual clichés, he might be misinterpreted and hyped by the media.

In fact, the reason why Redknapp said this is also simple. First, it is true. Second, Southampton is a small club with a relatively simple composition. In this way, there will be no players who will jump out and say that they feel neglected.But this situation may happen to the giants. Everyone is a superstar, and they are all the pride of heaven. Why are you more important than me?
Before the game started, the players were doing warm-up exercises on the court. Although Yunfei was also doing it, he knew in his heart that his chances of playing were not great.

"Gareth, do a good job. People say that the team is suffering from Yunfei's dependence, but not Bell's. This is your best chance to slap them in the face!"

Yunfei cleverly stimulated Bell, and accurately grasped the idea in Bell's heart that he wanted to get ahead.

"Don't talk, no matter how good my performance is, no one will think that I am the soul of the team. I'm useless!" Bell was not so easy to be fooled. After a short moment of excitement, he immediately reacted.

"Look at your ambition. If you perform well in every game and score goals every game, see what they will say!" Yunfei continued to cheer Bell.

When Bell heard this, he gave Yunfei a white look.If I was that good, I would have gone to heaven a long time ago, and I still need you to encourage me here?
"Please don't interfere with our warm-up, this student who is not playing, thank you!"

In this game, Portsmouth played a classic 4-4-2 formation. It can be seen that although they are away, they are not conservative, and they still hope to create some opportunities on the offensive end.

Southampton, on the other hand, still has its own counterattack formation. Bell's return to the starting lineup gave head coach Redknapp greater confidence.

As soon as the game started, the situation of the game was clear at a glance. Portsmouth was the main attacker and Southampton was the main defender.

Portsmouth's style of play is actually the classic English long pass. The two wingers are brought to the frontcourt. They don't go down or break through. They just pass the ball into the penalty area, either high or low.

Although this style of play is simple, it is practical. Two big center forwards poke in the penalty area, and two wide crosses are indeed extremely threatening.

Within a few minutes of the start of the game, Portsmouth had already completed two headers, which was a small test.

This also made Redknapp a little nervous on the sidelines, and hurriedly signaled the team's two full-backs to try to limit the opponent's wing.

Before the game, he put a lot of emphasis on the defense of the opponent's side, but now it seems that the effect is not very good.

However, Portsmouth's aggressive pressure will definitely give Southampton a good chance to counterattack. In the 9th minute of the game, Bell dribbled the ball and used his speed to get rid of the defender.

However, in this game, Portsmouth was determined to play against Southampton. Even in the face of the opponent's huge counterattack pressure, they still pressed firmly, which also gave Bell the best chance to perform.

In the 304th minute of the game, Bell passed three players on the wing, and then shot from a small angle, piercing through the opponent's ten fingers!
1: 0!

Southampton scored first at home!
