Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 637 Don’t ask, I just don’t know you

"Excuse me, Ye, how is your relationship with Fellaini?"

the reporter asked with a smile.

Ye Qi has just come out of suspension, and the conflict between him and Fellaini has become a household name in British football some time ago.

So when this reporter asked this question, he was actually suspected of making a fuss.

Ye Qi smiled when he heard this, and deliberately sat forward and got closer to the microphone.

"My relationship with Fellaini...ha! It's visible to the naked eye."

Ye Qi himself laughed when he said this: "Don't ask, if you ask, you don't know me!"

"Obviously, he doesn't like me, and I actually don't like him either. Of course, I'm not Queen Elizabeth and I'm not British Pound Sterling, so I can't ask everyone to like me."

Faced with Ye Qi's joke, the reporters in the audience all smiled in agreement.

"First of all, I wasn't the one who started the trouble. There is an old saying in our country, which is called 'To convince people with virtue, and to repay grievances with directness!'. Secondly, this matter has passed, and the official has also made a decision on punishment for everyone. , including me, so... Next let’s talk about topics related to this game.”

A reporter immediately asked: "So Ye, after returning from a long suspension, how is your condition? Can you score a goal in this game?"

"I feel like I'm okay, but rather than scoring individual goals, I'd rather see the team score all three points!"

"That's right, we need points now!"

"Hey, Ye. Mr. Ranieri just emphasized again that your goal this season is to avoid relegation. Now you have basically completed the task ahead of schedule. Do you still have such a big demand for points?" A reporter immediately followed up and asked.

Ye Qi spread his hands and leaned back tactically: "Do you think you earn too much? (laughing)"

"No one will dislike themselves for earning too much. Similarly, although our goal is to avoid relegation, we don't mind getting more points so that we can move up the rankings while avoiding relegation."

"It's like, your goal is to earn 100 million pounds, but when you really earn 35 or even 95 million pounds before the age of 100, will you retire directly? Obviously not, you will use the remaining Time to earn more money, such as 150 million, 200 million or something."

"Boss is right, our goal is indeed to avoid relegation. But as a professional player, after completing this goal, what he thinks more about is not to celebrate, but to help the team get a higher ranking in the limited opportunities."

"You want to ask me what the higher ranking is? I don't know. Let's see..."

Ye Qi's answer couldn't be said to be watertight, but it didn't have too many flaws.It directly bypassed the main conflict with Fellaini and focused everyone's attention on this game and Leicester City's results.

Facing the home Saints Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium, head coach Claudio Ranieri naturally launched an all-out attack...

Since returning to the Premier League, the Saints' performance has improved step by step, and is now basically stable at the seventh or eighth place.

If you work hard at this position, it is not impossible to get a spot in the Europa League.

Therefore, including Ye Qi after the ban was lifted, Leicester City has basically arranged all the main players who can play.

And Ranieri said before the game that although the Saints are difficult to deal with, the team must take away points from here today!

However, Southampton, who played at home, played more actively. They gave Leicester City, a guest, a showdown.

Less than 15 minutes into the first half, Wanyama successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to his midfield partner Ward Prowse.

The young "Teacher Pu" made a wide movement and directly found Bernard, the full-back who was attacking on the left. Bernard successfully dribbled the ball down and passed the ball out.

Pellet in the middle made a feint shot, and the football went to the ribs on the other side.

Mane on this side got the ball, moved the ball with his feet and broke into the penalty area, and finally succeeded in shooting!

After losing the ball, goalkeeper Schmeichel was so angry that he almost dropped his gloves.

Head coach Ranieri stood on the sidelines, calling Kanter's name and asking him to look at Mane more.

Since returning to the Premier League, Southampton's lineup has been shipping every year, but its strength has not dropped too much.On the contrary, newcomers are constantly being added. Among them, the "youth training system" tree planted by the late boss Marcus who spent huge sums of money in his early years has taken root.

At the same time, the Saints' scouting system is also very developed.

For example, Mane, Van Dijk, Bernard, Foster and others purchased in the past two seasons are all representatives of high quality and low price.

Especially Mane and Van Dijk. Based on their performance this season, Southampton will probably not be able to keep these two in the future.

Although Southampton is a small team, they play offensive football.The current head coach Ronald Koeman has played for Barcelona for six years, so he has more or less the shadow of passing and controlling football.

And he came from the Dutch youth training.

The Saints' offensive football gave Leicester City a chance to counterattack. After losing the ball, the Blue Fox was not too impatient. On the contrary, it slowly organized a counterattack.

The main reason is that Ye Qi and Vardy on the front line are not impatient. When they are not sure, they prefer to leave the ball to their teammates instead of choosing to do it alone.

In the 20th minute, Mahrez broke through and sent the ball into the penalty area.Ye Qi got the ball but did not hit it. Instead, he attracted the attention of Van Dijk and others and then handed the ball to his partner Vardy. Vardy took a shot, but it was resolved by Foster.

In the 205th minute, Albrighton accurately penetrated the Saints' defense with a long pass. After Ye Qi got the ball, he gave the opportunity to Mahrez who was in a better position, but Mahrez followed up with a shot. It's high, the football is higher than the crossbar.

In the 301st minute, Mane's breakthrough created another threat.This time, because of Kanter's strict defense, Mane did not go directly to the bottom, but handed the ball to Jai Rodriguez in the middle in advance.

The Saints version of "Ronaldo Ronaldo" dribbled the ball forward laterally, attracted the attention of the defensive player and then gave the ball to Ward Prowse who came up from behind.

Ward-Prowse did not choose to take advantage of the long shot, but when center Pellet involved Leicester City defender Morgan, he passed the ball into the penalty area with a through ball.

Serbian forward Tadic, who came in from the ribs, did not stop the ball and shot directly into the far corner of the goal.
