Chapter 155 Turning point!

Chapter 155 Turning point!

"Beep beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Although in the remaining few minutes, Reading struggled to press across the board, but they were still unable to perform a miracle at the last moment. They still lost this game. After 31 league rounds, they lost again, but they did not lose to a random team, but to Southampton, the team that was chasing them closely in the standings!

Despite this, Reading is still 9 points ahead of Southampton. However, this advantage is no longer so safe. There are 13 rounds left in the league, and the 9-point gap is not a natural barrier.

Coach Steve Koppel of course knew all this, so after shaking hands with Redknapp, he did not hesitate, and immediately chose to go on the court to comfort his players. At this time, what the players need is encouragement, not reprimand.

"Sorry, coach, I didn't limit that guy in this game!"

Cooper's eyes were red, looking at the head coach, the corners of his mouth trembled a little. The more he valued the game, the greater the blow would be after the loss. For example, Cooper was at home with full confidence and wanted to limit Yunfei, but judging by Yunfei's performance in this game, his defense was really unspeakably successful.

"It's okay, what are you afraid of, as long as we don't have any problems in the future, this season's championship will still be ours. Now we have to look forward, don't we?"

While speaking, Coach Koppel pulled Cooper and Sidwell into his arms with one arm on each side, and comforted him softly. He needed to stabilize the emotions of the main players.After losing this game, he still has a lot of work to do next.

On the other side, Redknapp was sitting on the bench with a flushed face at this time. His blood was boiling with excitement after seeing the lore just now. He suddenly felt that his heart might not be able to bear the stimulation, and he wanted to take a break.

……

Yunfei lay quietly on the turf, looking up at the sky, but what he saw was not the blue sky, but the scenes of the past, the self who started playing football, the self who almost left the youth team in despair, the self who worked hard to make his debut in the youth team, the self who almost saved the team by winning the game against Manchester United...

Scenes of scenes appeared in front of Yunfei's eyes, and he suddenly felt a little emotional, so time passed so fast, before he knew it, they had already started to attack for the championship of the British Championship, and he was no longer that unknown person, all of this was really dreamlike, this person felt a little unreal.

"Anyway, I thank you and myself, and I will keep going!"

Yunfei secretly said in his heart that he will cherish everything that the system has given him, and all that he has gained through his efforts. Only when he lost it once, will he cherish it even more now!

"Get up and go back!"

Bell slowly walked in front of Yunfei, his legs were still trembling slightly at this moment, it was the sequelae of exhaustion, fortunately he rested for a while, at least now he can walk off the stage by himself without a stretcher.

Yunfei looked up and saw Bell, stretched out his hand, motioning for the other to pull him up, but Bell didn't move as if he didn't see it.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else."

"Then you mean it!"

"I'm bored!"

The two stared at each other, and then Bell told the truth.

"If I pull you, there is a high probability that you will pull me down, so you should do it yourself!"

Yunfei shook his head helplessly, struggled to get up by himself, then waved again at the stands of the away fans, and after a burst of cheers, he turned and walked into the player tunnel.

The stumbling backs of the two made the fans a little moved. These are the boys of the team, which is really great!

Southampton did not celebrate after the game. They are still 9 points away from their opponents, and they have not yet written a word.

But the news of Southampton's victory over Reading spread out immediately, which is not a small news.

Reading's terrible 31 unbeaten games have been frozen, and the longest unbeaten record in the English Championship in team history has ended. At the same time, this game is still a game worth six points. Reading's loss means that Southampton is one step closer to them.

Immediately after the game, Sky Sports published a feature article, taking stock of the performances of Reading and Southampton this season, and saying that this game will be a turning point in this season's Champions League.

"There is no doubt that Reading's performance this season is phenomenal. Even if a mid-to-upstream team in the Premier League replaces them, they may not be able to perform so well. They only have 7 draws and 31 unbeaten games, which is full of gold, but they lost a game that should not be lost! Under the current situation of chasing each other, losing to direct competitors will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the morale of the team. Losing is not terrible, but at home, at a very critical point in the league, being killed by the biggest competitor, I think, This will definitely have a dramatic impact on Reading's upcoming games."

"If Reading can't give a strong enough response in time, then Southampton may see an opportunity in the next game, and this is the result they hoped to achieve with all their efforts in this game! Now, let us wait and see!"

This feature article was subsequently reprinted by various media. After this crucial loss, the Reading team will begin to feel the huge pressure from the outside world. All the previous victories and joys will be thrown away. Any draw or loss may be interpreted by the outside world as the team has suffered a huge blow and cannot recover. From now on, Reading has no chance to make mistakes, because once they make mistakes, this kind of attention and criticism may overwhelm them!

This is what the top team has to bear. The famous coach Kevin Keegan once led the Magpies Newcastle. With a lead of No.2 Manchester United by 12 points, he was knocked down by the huge pressure, the attention of the outside world and the frequent psychological battles of Ferguson. In the end, he was even "driven crazy", talking nonsense in front of the media, and finally lost the championship completely.

With the lessons learned from the past, Reading's situation is easy to understand. In fact, Reading can already feel the biting pressure!Steve Koppel frequently responded to reporters' questions at the press conference after the game, and finally even got up and left the conference early, which is evident!
