Chapter 67 Am I a bad person?

Peter had just walked around Staplewood training base, completing his last patrol of the day.

He returned to the duty room in front of the 'door'.

I turned on the light, moved a chair, and sat at the door. The cool autumn breeze brought a refreshing feeling.

Behind him there were still a few lights inside Staplewood, a sign that some of the youth team boys had not left.

When he went on patrol just now, he found that there were still a few people left. He had already asked them to turn off the lights, doors and windows before leaving.

Although Staplewood is undergoing massive construction, the entire training base becomes quiet at night.

Especially like tonight, when the first team is away playing.

Thinking of this, Peter looked at the watch on his wrist and exclaimed, "Oops."

He jumped up from his chair and walked quickly into the security duty room, not caring that the chair behind him had fallen over.

Soon, he ran out of the duty room carrying a radio, straightened his chair and sat down.

It was an older radio, but Peter seemed to take good care of it.

After turning it on, the radio goes directly to FM103.8, which is the Solent channel of BBC Radio.

The fourth round of the English League One is now being broadcast live, with Southampton away challenging Charlton.

He was already five minutes late.

As soon as I turned on the radio, I heard the announcer's heart-wrenching cry.

This made Peter's heart skip a beat. It had only been five minutes. Could it be that Charlton had scored a goal?

Just when his heart was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, the announcer saved him.

"Neymar! The talented boy from Brazil!"

"A left-foot volley shot once again penetrated Charlton's goal!"

"2:0. Southampton scored twice in just five minutes after the start of the game!"

"A very 'wonderful' one-two combination. In the densely packed central defensive area, Neymar and Adam Lallana's imaginative cooperation completely fooled Charlton's defenders."

"It was a perfect start. Southampton took the lead by two goals in just five minutes. It was so exciting!"

Peter was stunned. He looked at the radio in front of him in disbelief. His hand holding the radio was shaking violently. A two-goal lead? Was it really a two-goal lead?

Oh my god, oh my god, Southampton are two goals ahead?

Peter shook his head in disbelief, but then there was a burst of drum beats coming from the radio.

He believed it!

Just last night, Harry told Peter that although not every game of the English League One can be watched live on TV, you can still feel the scene from the radio through the sound of their drums.

The drum beats are very strong, very dense and very exciting!

I could vaguely hear someone singing Southampton's team song above the drums.

That group of people must be crazy, now!

At this moment, several young men ran out of the training base panting.

As soon as they ran to Peter's door, they leaned against the wall to catch their breath.

"Peter, has the game started yet?"

Peter recognized him immediately. It was Luke Shaw, a young player from the youth team, from London.

“It started early.”

"What's the score?" asked Clum Chambers, Luke Shaw's teammate of the same year.

"2:0." Peter shouted with a laugh.

"2:0?" Another young player, James Ward-Prowse, exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, 2:0, Ibrahimovic and Neymar scored goals successively." Peter explained excitedly.

Luke Shaw sat on the ground and laughed, "Oh my God, it's unbelievable, it's only five minutes."

"Maybe this will be a big victory!" Chambers also looked excited and expectant.

Peter listened and nodded, also full of anticipation.

"We really need a great victory right now!"

…………

Charlton's current predicament is more or less due to its own fault.

Three years ago, Charlton was still a Premier League team, and in the first two years after relegation, they could receive a parachute protection fee of 23 million pounds from the Premier League.

You know, in the Championship League, the total funding that can be obtained in a year is 800,000 pounds, and the League One teams get even less, only 300,000 pounds.

Therefore, even if Charlton was relegated from the Premier League, everyone felt that the team would be able to return to the Premier League soon.

But who could have imagined that once the team was relegated, not only did its performance plummet, but the team's management also became increasingly embarrassed. Even with the support of parachute protection money, they resolutely relegated to English Football League One after "hanging out" in the Championship for two years.

At present, Charlton is inferior to Southampton both in terms of overall strength and team tactics.

Phil Parkinson tried to seize the initiative at the start of the game, but was instead crushed by Southampton, who scored two goals within five minutes, completely confusing Charlton. After that, the game at The Valley Stadium became a one-sided situation.

After Southampton scored two goals in a row, they continued to attack Charlton with all their might.

The home team was defeated step by step and was forced to shrink their defense. Not to mention attacking, they couldn't even launch a decent counterattack.

But even if they adopted a defensive posture, Charlton still couldn't hold on.

Ibrahimovic was like a giant in the penalty area, firmly dominating the penalty area.

On the left, Neymar, with the support of David Alaba, specifically cut inside and sought cooperation with the center.

Adam Lallana can act as a shadow striker when he moves forward, and can also act as a front midfielder when he gets the ball at the front of the penalty area.

Chamberlain on the right was also quite good at holding the ball and dribbling, and with Carvajal behind him, his crosses and passes from the right were also quite threatening.

This put Charlton's entire defense into a difficult situation.

In the 27th minute of the game, Southampton once again broke through Charlton's goal after a fierce attack.

Adam Lallana's through ball was accurately passed to Ibrahimovic's feet. The Swedish center forward took the ball and leaned against the opponent's central defender, then turned around and shot hard, breaking the goal again and scoring 3:0!

At this point in the game, everyone had clearly realized that Charlton had lost!

I believe that even Charlton's players on the field are very clear that they have been defeated.

But Southampton had no intention of quitting and continued to launch wave after wave of attacks on Charlton.

Southampton really needs a victory now.

Especially a big victory that can completely wash away all the pressure and doubts previously exerted on Southampton!

Leading by three goals, Southampton continued to maintain offensive pressure on Charlton.

Neymar failed to dribble the ball inside from the left and was passed to the left again. David Alaba quickly "inserted" and passed a low ball from the left to the middle.

Ibrahimovic deliberately let the ball slip, and Vidal quickly inserted himself at the back post, leaned forward and made a diving dive to head the ball into the goal, 4:0!

At this moment, the only sound in the entire Valley Stadium was the cheers of the Saints!

…………

"Well, that's a great goal!"

After seeing Vidal score a goal, Yang Huan rushed out from his seat again.

He himself did not expect that the team could play so well for the first time when it sent out all its main players.

This offensive is truly awe-inspiring.

Wilkinson, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, clapped his hands even harder, praising the team non-stop: "Beautiful offensive football! This is the level that Southampton should play. It's wonderful!"

In his eyes as a professional, Southampton's attack is very diverse.

The players on both wingers have strong ball-handling abilities. Neymar is not very adaptable to the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League, and he has failed to break through with the ball several times. However, he is smarter and chooses not to hold the ball too much, but to seek cooperation with his teammates.

Chamberlain was relatively more amazing than Neymar, with his ball handling, breakthroughs and pass making being quite outstanding.

No wonder Bielsa relies on him so much. He would rather suppress James Rodriguez temporarily and let Chamberlain play as the main player.

But the most eye-catching players in the team are Ibrahimovic and Adam Lallana.

These two offensive players, one is at the front and the other is slightly behind. The former is responsible for attacking the city and the latter is responsible for passing the ball and organizing. It doesn't look like the first time for the two to cooperate, and they seem to have a tacit understanding.

The other two midfielders, Vidal and Stroman, are also very strong in their ability to attack and assist, especially Vidal, who was very threatening in several of his runs and had high tactical execution. During the transition from offense to defense, his on-the-spot counter-attacks were very effective.

"Bielsa's entire tactical system is linked together. It is not simple and not easy!" Wilkinson admires him very much.

High-intensity pressure and tackling in the midfield and frontcourt is easy to say but very difficult to do.

Manchester United has always wanted to use this tactic, but has never succeeded.

"There should be no suspense in this game!" Yang Huan was in a good mood after hearing Wilkinson's praise.

It made him happier to hear others praise Southampton than to flatter Yang Huan directly.

In Yang Huan's eyes, Southampton is like his child.

"No suspense!" Wilkinson glanced at Charlton head coach Phil Parkinson below the field.

The England coach was at his wit's end and just stood there staring, feeling anxious.

"Charlton and you are simply not on the same level, either in terms of strength or tactics." Wilkinson sighed.

In just over a month, Yang Huan has completely transformed Southampton into such a highly competitive team, which is indeed quite rare.

In his opinion, this Southampton team should not be in League One, or even the Championship.

Because even if they go to the Premier League, they have the strength to avoid relegation.

Yang Huan laughed and was very pleased with Wilkinson's praise, but he suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and snapped his fingers at Long Wu behind him.

"Master Huan." Long Wu immediately came over, bent down, and leaned over to listen.

"Old Five, we've won four goals now. I'm still a little worried about putting millions of pounds of debt on other people. Go and help me keep an eye on them. Remember to count the number of people. Don't let any of them escape!"

Long Wu nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Master Huan, I'm the best at collecting debts!"

"Go!" Yang Huan smiled and waved his hand.

Long Wu immediately took the order.

Zhang Ning was standing aside and heard their conversation. He felt that these people didn't look like gentlemen at all, but more like gangsters.

"Old Five has been corrupted by you!"

Although Long Wu used to be a game fan, his thoughts were relatively simple. But after following Yang Huan, he learned those devious tricks. Although he was harmless when he was addicted to games, once he had evil thoughts, he was just like Yang Huan's apprentice.

"Hey, we may be familiar with each other, but be careful or I'll sue you for defamation. What do you mean you were led astray by me? Am I a bad person?"

Zhang Ning didn't know what she was thinking about. Her face turned red as she muttered, "You're not bad enough?"

Yang Huan, however, stared at her with a sly smile, "You haven't seen my worst side yet!"

Zhang Ning's face turned red with embarrassment when she heard this. How could someone talk like that in public?

Although she knew that these people didn't understand Chinese, she still felt extremely shy.

"As expected, evil people have evil thoughts!" Yang Huan slapped his forehead hard, sighing with emotion about the injustice of the world and the change of human nature.

"I clearly said it so pure, but some people always think so badly of me!"

"good
