Chapter 67 Am I Bad?
Peter has just walked around the Stapletwood training base for the 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, with a cool autumn wind blowing.
Behind him, there were still lights in Stapletwood, a sign that some of the youth team boys had not left.
When he went to patrol just now, he found that a few were still left, and he had instructed them to turn off the lights, close the doors and windows before leaving.
Although Stapletwood is under construction, at night, the entire training base becomes quiet.
Especially when the first team goes out to fight like tonight.
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, ignoring the chair behind him falling over.
Soon he ran out of the duty room with a radio in his hand, straightened his chair, and sat down.
It's an old radio, but Peter seems to cherish it.
Once turned on, the radio is directly on FM103.8, which is BBC Radio Solent.
The fourth round of League One is now being broadcast live, Southampton away to Charlton's game.
He was five minutes late.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
As soon as the radio was turned on, there was a piercing cry from the announcer.
This made Peter's heart skip a beat. It's only been five minutes. Did Charlton score a goal?
Just when his heart sank to the bottom of the sea, the announcer saved him.
"Neymar! A genius boy from Brazil!"
"A left-footed volley pierced Charlton's goal again!"
"2:0, Southampton scored Elliott's goal twice in a row in just five minutes after the opening!"
"A very exciting two-to-one match. In the dense central defense area, Neymar and Adam Lallana's imaginative cooperation completely played Charlton's defenders."
"It was a perfect start, Southampton were two goals ahead in just five minutes, it was fantastic!"
Peter was stunned. He looked at the radio in front of him in disbelief. The hand holding the radio was shaking violently. A two-goal lead? Is it really a two-goal lead?
Omg, my God, Southampton are two goals ahead?
Peter shook his head in disbelief, but there was a dense drumbeat from the radio.
He believed it!
Just last night, Harry told Peter that while not every League One game can be seen live on TV, it can be felt on the radio, just by the sound of their drums.
The drums are hard, dense, and very uplifting!
It was as if someone could hear the Southampton anthem from the drums.
Those people must be crazy, now!
At this moment, a few young men ran out of the training base out of breath.
As soon as they ran to Peter's door, one by one they were lying on the wall panting.
"Peter, has the game started?"
Peter recognized it at a glance. It was Luke Shaw, a teenager from the youth team, a player from London.
"It started early."
"What's the score?" asked Crum Chambers, a teammate who was the same year as Luke Shaw.
"2:0." Peter shouted with a laugh.
"2:0?" Another teenager, James Ward Prouse, was surprised.
"Yes, 2:0, Ibrahimovic and Neymar scored goals." Peter explained excitedly.
Luke Xiao sat directly on the ground and laughed, "My God, it's incredible, it's only five minutes."
"Maybe, this will be a big victory!" Chambers was also excited and looking forward to it.
Peter listened and nodded, also full of anticipation.
"We desperately need a hearty victory right now!"

Charlton has been reduced to the dilemma it is today, more or less self-inflicted.
Three years ago, Charlton were a Premier League team and they could receive £23 million in parachute protection from the Premier League for the first two years after relegation.
You must know that in the British Championship, a total of 800,000 pounds can be obtained in one year, and the League One team is even less, only 300,000 pounds.
Therefore, even if Charlton is relegated from the Premier League, everyone feels that this team will be able to return to the Premier League soon.
But who would have thought that once this team was relegated, not only did their performance plummet, but the team's management became increasingly embarrassing. Even with the support of parachute protection money, they resolutely relegated to League One after two years in the Championship. .
The current Charlton is not as good as Southampton in terms of overall strength or team tactics.
Phil Parkinson wanted to fight for the initiative at the beginning, but he was crushed by Southampton in turn. He scored two goals in five minutes, completely stunned Charlton, and then this game at the Valley Stadium The game turned into a one-sided situation.
After Southampton scored two goals in a row, they still spared no effort to launch a fierce attack on Charlton.
The home team was losing steadily and was forced to shrink its defense, let alone an attack, and could not even fight a decent counterattack.
But even if he adopted a stubborn posture, Charlton still couldn't hold it.
Ibrahimovic is like a giant in the penalty area, firmly ruling the penalty area.
With the support of David Alaba, Neymar on the left cut inside to seek cooperation with the middle.
Adam Lallana can act as a shadow striker forward, and can play a forward midfielder role with the ball at the front of the penalty area.
Chamberlain on the right is also quite good at holding and dribbling the ball. Coupled with Carvajal behind him, the crosses and balls from the right are also quite threatening.
This put Charlton's entire defense into a dilemma.
In the 27th minute of the game, under the wild attack, Southampton once again pierced Charlton's goal.
Adam Lallana's through ball was accurately given to Ibrahimovic's feet. After the Swedish center took the ball and leaned against the opponent's central defender, he turned around and shot vigorously to score again, 3:0!
At this moment in the game, everyone has clearly realized that Charlton lost!
I believe that even Charlton's players on the field are very clear that they have been completely defeated.
But Southampton didn't mean to quit at all, and still launched waves of attacks on Charlton.
Southampton really need a win right now.
Especially a victory that can completely wash away all the pressure and doubts that have been put on Southampton before!
Three goals ahead, Southampton continue to maintain the offensive pressure on Charlton.
Neymar dribbled the ball from the left and cut inward but failed, and was redistributed to the left. David Alaba quickly plugged in and passed the ball low from the left to the middle.
Ibrahimovic missed a deliberate miss, then Vidal quickly plugged in at the back point, leaned over and dived for the top, scored with a header, 4:0!
At this moment, there is only the cheers of the saints left in the entire valley course!

"Okay, it went in beautifully!"
Yang Huan rushed out of his seat again after seeing Vidal's goal.
He himself did not expect that, for the first time, the team would be able to play the main force so smoothly.
This offense is truly awesome.
Wilkinson, who sat with Yang Huan, applauded even more vigorously, and kept praising: "Beautiful offensive football, this is the level Southampton should play, it's wonderful!"
In the eyes of a professional, Southampton's offense is very diverse.
The players on both sides have a strong ability to hold the ball. Neymar does not adapt to the rhythm and confrontation of the Premier League. He failed to break through with the ball several times, but he is smarter and chooses not to take the ball, but to seek Cooperate with teammates.
Relatively speaking, Chamberlain is even more amazing than Neymar. He is quite brilliant with the ball, breaking through and making the ball.
No wonder Bielsa relied on him so much, preferring to temporarily suppress James Rodriguez, but also to let Chamberlain play the main force.
But the team's most eye-catching or Ibrahimovic and Adam? Lallana.
One of the two offensive players was at the front and the other was slightly behind. The former was in charge of attacking the city and the latter was in charge of passing and organizing. The two did not seem to cooperate for the first time, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
The other two midfielders, Vidal and Strowman, are also very capable of attacking and assisting, especially Vidal, who is threatening several times and has high tactical execution. The in-place anti-robbing is very effective.
"Belsa's entire tactical system, one link is linked to the other, is not simple, not easy!" Wilkinson admired very much.
High-intensity pressing and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
Manchester United has always wanted to play this tactic, but it has never been successful.
"There should be no suspense in this game!" Yang Huan was in a good mood after hearing Wilkinson's praise.
When others praise Southampton, it makes him more happy than directly flattering Yang Huan.
In Yang Huan's view, Southampton is like his child.
"There is no suspense!" Wilkinson glanced at Charlton coach Phil Parkinson below the pitch.
The England head coach has run out of tricks, standing on the side staring blankly, in a hurry.
"Charlton and you are not at the same level in terms of strength or tactics." Wilkinson sighed.
In just over a month, Yang Huan has completely transformed Southampton into such a 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 praised Wilkinson very much, but he thought of something.
Turning his head, he snapped his fingers at Long Wu behind him.
"Master Huan." Long Wu immediately came over, leaned down, and put his ears close.
"Fifth, now we have won four goals, and the debt of millions of pounds is on others. I'm still a little worried. You go and watch for me, remember to count the number of people, and none of them are allowed to run away!"
Long Wu nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Young Master Huan, I'm the best at debt collection!"
"Go!" Yang Huan waved his hand with a smile.
Long Wu immediately took the order.
Zhang Ning was on the side, hearing their words, he felt that this place looked like a gentleman, it was like a triad.
"The fifth one was broken by you!"
Although Long Wu was a game fan in the past, his thoughts were relatively simple, but since he followed Yang Huan, he has learned to be sloppy. Although he is innocuous to humans and animals when he is addicted to games, once he has a crooked mind, he is just like Yang. Happy apprentice.
"Hey, familiar with familiarity, be careful if I sue you for slander, what do you mean by being damaged by me? Am I bad?"
Zhang Ning didn't know what to think of, her face was red and she muttered, "You're not bad enough?"
Yang Huan stared at her, smiling ambiguous, "You haven't seen my worst side yet!"
Zhang Ning's face was burning with embarrassment. How did he speak in a large audience?
Although she knew that these people didn't understand Chinese, she still felt very shy.
"Sure enough, wicked people have their own wicked thoughts!" Yang Huan slapped his forehead hard, as if the world was unfair, and people sighed with emotion.
"I said it so pure, but some people keep thinking about me so badly!"
"It's hard to be a good person!"
Zhang Ning looked at him like this, and his heart was strangled to death.
