song of the saints

Chapter 119
After Southampton's successful draw with Chelsea, Arsenal saw the hope of catching up again. It seems that it is not so far away to recover the point difference to 11 points.The gap between Southampton and Middlesbrough was reduced to four points.But fortunately, the Southampton team has no strong opponents in the subsequent schedule.This made Chen Zhun somewhat comforted and relieved.

The media on the second day focused on the big news that Chen Zhun was sent off. "The Times", "Guardian" and "Daily Mail" all used "David Winston was furious and suspected of yelling at the referee".And once again reported on this matter with great fanfare.Of course they also get news from the FA.The FA has started to investigate this matter, watch the video, listen to the referee's opinion, and watch the referee's game record.A penalty is inevitable.

Chen Zhun felt very relaxed at home.Because it is not the first time he has been punished, and he has long been used to it, facing the atmosphere and scale of the game in the Premier League.No head coach can do it alone and be foolproof.

Life goes on.The league will continue.

Chen Zhun continued to lead the Southampton team to beat the once thriving Blackburn team with a score of [-]-[-] in the away game. It was Lallana who contributed to the Southampton team.

The victory continues to firmly establish Southampton's sixth position.

When Chen Zhun and the team returned to Southampton the next day, the team's spokesman Yang Sen called and informed him to go to the FA headquarters to attend a hearing about himself.

Chen Zhun agreed.Then they didn't take this matter seriously, because the hearing is just a process, and their punishment has already been determined. This hearing is just an answer to the outside world.

The next morning, Chen Zhun went to London in the car of news director Yang Sen.

As you can imagine, Chen Zhun was once again suspended and punished by the FA.

A three-match ban and a fine of £33.In this case, Commodore Chen will miss the 34rd, 35th and [-]th rounds. Fortunately, the opponents in these three rounds are Aston Villa, Bolton and Portsmouth.Fortunately, apart from Bolton, which is ranked eighth among these three opponents, the other two teams are all ranked outside the tenth place, which poses little threat to Southampton.

Looking at the fine, Chen Zhun thought about his pitiful salary, and felt that he really needed to restrain his so-called "hot" temper.But he thought that if he really entered the UEFA Cup next year, would he have the capital to discuss his new contract with the Chinese consortium?But the root of everything is the ranking after the season.Chen Zhun dare not take it lightly.

Time continues to move forward unhurriedly with its own footsteps, no matter how much people cherish it, how much they waste it, how much they miss it, how much they hate it.It didn't stop to look at these people, but kept walking.Take away all the emotions of people.

In these three games, Chen Zhun played in the stands, but the connection with the stadium was close. Reed also relied on Chen Zhun's small notes to control the game every time.

The first game was played away against Aston Villa and was tied 1-1.Crouch scored Southampton's goal. This game was a three-point game from Chen Zhun's goal. As a result, the horse stumbled and was tenaciously tied by Aston Villa.In the same round, Middlesbrough beat Newcastle United.The difference between the two teams was reduced to four points.

In the second game against Bolton at home, Glenn Shire scored the only goal of the game relying on a quick counterattack, widening the point difference between Bolton and himself to an insurmountable gap. Now the remaining opponents behind him are only Off Middlesbrough.Middlesbrough also defeated Fulham in this round and continued to maintain a four-point gap against Southampton, forcing Southampton to make mistakes, although the seventh place can also win the UEFA Cup. However, Chen Zhun still hopes that the higher the ranking, the better.

The third game was against Portsmouth. At this time, Portsmouth was no longer the Portsmouth that Chen Zhun met for the first time. Now they did not pose any threat to Southampton.Southampton easily beat Portsmouth 3-1 away.Contributors to Southampton were Canoute, Yaya Toure and Nicky Shorey.In the same round, the Middlesbrough team also continued to win, beating West Bromwich Albion at home.The point difference was tightly bitten at four points.

The Premier League has entered the final stage, and the league has played 34 rounds.Chen Zhun has also come back from the ban and personally directed the final three rounds against Norwich, Crystal Palace and Manchester United.Except for the Manchester United team in the last round, the first two teams have no way to pose any danger to the current Southampton team, and the opponent Manchester United in the last round is now without any desires, so it seems that Chen Zhun's ending The trip can go smoothly.With the end of the league, a series of concluding work and work on next season are slowly unfolding. For the Southampton club, it is now the busiest and most sensitive time, because news of the club's change of ownership spreads all over the world. Among the people, there is a lot of speculation, and it seems that the time for the change of owner is getting closer.

As the head coach of this club, Chen Zhun has also heard a little bit, but Chen Zhun has never been interested in these things that he has no ability to control. To be a good foundation, I also want to lay a solid foundation for myself next season.

The last three rounds of matches were exactly as Chen Zhun expected. In the first two matches, the Southampton team did not receive any rumors of a change of ownership. They both defeated their opponents with a score of 1-0 and completely ranked themselves in the sixth place. Although the Southampton team has performed very well recently, it is helpless that Liverpool in front of Southampton has played more steadily, winning consecutive victories, firmly controlling the No.5 score, and smoothly entering the final European Cup. Champions League final.Of course, all of this was within Chen Zhun's expectation.Chen Zhun had already placed a bet on the betting odds of the final champion, and the target of the bet was Liverpool. He also bet on the number of goals scored in the final of the European Champions Cup, 6 goals.Chen Zhun only bought the scoring odds, of course, the odds are surprisingly high.

In the last round, Southampton played against Manchester United at home, and finally lost to Manchester United 1-2. They failed to draw a successful conclusion at home, but they could not conceal the success of Southampton this season.

You know, in real history, Southampton was relegated from the bottom this season.

When the game whistle sounded, Chen Zhun walked into the field proudly and cheered and celebrated with the players, as if he was a champion.Indeed, in the eyes of the fans, their current performance is the champion.
