Chapter 147 One after another blow

The dawn always comes, and even though David Winston didn't want it to come so early, it came anyway.

David Winston opened his eyes, and saw that the sky was bright outside, and it was another fine day.But his mood was still as gloomy as ever, after a night of recovery, he was still the same, yesterday was too hurt for him.This feeling is likely to last for some time.

Summer has come, but the summer in Southampton is cool and comfortable, but David Winston’s mood is not as clear as the weather. He opened the door and looked at the passers-by outside. He let the fresh air outside The wind blows into his room, he feels that his room is too stuffy, too hot, too uncomfortable, too depressing, too aggrieved, many, many negative emotions are filled in this giant room , wantonly harassing the now popular hot pepper chicken coach in English football.

Today, they played against Sunderland at home. This season, Sunderland still has no desire to win a place in the European war, and worries about no relegation places.This will allow them to perform better in the game.

In today's game against Sunderland, David Winston continued to use the previous game formation, but there were some changes in personnel.

Goalkeeper Sebastian Frey, back line Nikki Shore, Luis Pereira, Laurent Koscielny, Stefan Lichtsteiner.Midfielders Miguel Arteta and Clemens Fritz.Left winger Adam Lallana, right winger Dirk Kitchener, midfielder Marek Hamsik and forward Alan Shearer.This lineup is a typical mix of young and old, and the work is not tiring.

The game officially started, but just 5 minutes into the game, something unexpected happened.

Southampton's attacking chance, Alan Shearer took aim and got up to grab the chance after Dirk Louitt managed to get past the Sunderland defender on the right. Point, but a little bit short, the ball passed the toes of the fast-running Alan Shearer, but he couldn't control his running body, kicked his feet heavily on the cold and hard goal post, and then lay on the ground Hiding his face in pain.

Seeing this scene, David Winston felt a chill hit his back again.Then there was anger in his heart.He didn't understand why he couldn't escape, why!Why!
The team doctor became the busiest person in the past two days, and the fans in the audience fell into a moment of contemplation, and then began to shout Alan Shearer's name over and over again, cheering for the veteran. The team doctors helped Alan Shearer Le limped out of the field, and it was obvious that he could no longer hold on to the game in such a situation.The fans in the stadium burst into applause to comfort the veteran.

David Winston had to temporarily replace the substitutes, wasting a substitution.He replaced Alan Shearer, who had returned to the locker room due to injury, for Kevin Phillips.

The game continued. After experiencing a major injury, the Southampton players seemed to be unable to play on the field and could not control the game on the field. The rhythm of the game turned to hand in hand. The Sunderland team, which was already stress-free and trouble-free.This is to give Sunderland a great opportunity.

The game has completely entered the control of the Sunderland team. Once the game enters the complete control of one side, it means that the team is not far away from scoring, scoring again, and winning.

Sunderland's goal occurred in the No.20 minute of the game. The key point is that the goal was not from Sunderland's players, but from Southampton's own goal to help Sunderland take the lead in the game.

It's really like the house is leaking every time it rains, and I don't bring money for meals.

In fact, Sunderland's offense did not pose much of a threat this time, but Sunderland's soft pass from the wing was a very threatening offensive opportunity in the eyes of Southampton's defense.

Especially in the eyes of Laurent Koscielny, who played for the first time this season.In fact, he had already heard Sebastian - Frey told him not to destroy it, he could catch the ball, but at that time his mind went blank, and he subconsciously ran to the ball with his left foot to make a clearance.

What happened below seemed to be the Sunderland striker grabbing the point, Laurent Koscielny shoveling the ball right into his own goal.The ability to grab points is very outstanding.

There was deathly silence in the stadium, and then there was still deathly silence.Laurent Koscielny covered his head with his hands and sat on the ground in frustration. He regrets it now, regrets it, his mental capacity is too poor.This kind of performance is a heavy blow to the team, the head coach, and the fans present.

Seeing such a scene, David Winston had to get up and encourage the players to continue working hard.The team members also walked up to Laurent Koscielny, who had already stood up, and comforted him, telling him not to lose confidence, this was just an episode.Defenders have to go through this kind of situation. Only by experiencing unprecedented hardships can they become the most powerful, most powerful, and concrete-like defenders in the world.

However, the final outcome of this game has been announced from the very beginning. No matter how hard the players try, how they break through, and how they execute tactics, they can't recover from any defeat.What can be done now is not to let Sunderland score a goal, just continue the stalemate like this.

The minds of the team members have not been together for a long time, because they have seen three players fall to the ground in pain in the past two days, and then they are recuperating from injuries for an indefinite period, which caused more or less fear in their hearts. Psychology, fear of physical confrontation, fear of running fast, fear of all competitions.

Of course, David Winston could see the minds of the players on the field. Seeing their lazy performance, he couldn't get angry because he had nothing to do. He just saw the eternal fighter Dirk Dirk. People are pressing wildly, as if they are out of tune with the entire Southampton team, which is a bit funny.David Winston shook his head, closed his eyes in pain, and waited for the moment when the whistle sounded.Because he knows that this game has disappeared. When a team's morale is gone, it is very difficult to get a chance to come back from the game.
