"Mr. Keegan, Mr. Keegan?"
After waiting outside the ward for a long time, Mike rushed into the ward as soon as he got permission.
"Mr. Keegan, are you okay?"
"Don't you remember me? I'm Mike!"
"Head coach of the trial team, we talked on the phone before. You asked me to take more care of Theo..."
Kevin Keegan lay quietly on the hospital bed, watching Mike talk a lot.
"Of course I remember you, but the head coach of the trial team in my impression is not a nagging guy." After Mike's mouth went dry, Kevin Keegan replied.
"Oh, thank God you're okay!"
"What can happen to me?" Kevin Keegan chuckled, "Is it possible that you guys are all hoping that something will happen to me?"
"Oh no, Mr. Keegan, you misunderstood me!" Mike quickly shook his head in explanation.
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding." Kevin Keegan chuckled. Apart from being a little weak, he was in good spirits.
"Mild concussion plus mild coma, then a fracture of the forearm, plus various bruises on the body..." The doctor on the side explained, "At present, Mr. Keegan's health is fine. It will last for half a month." He will be discharged from the hospital soon. But it is estimated that it will take three months to wait for the arm to recover."
"It's good if nothing happens, and you're lucky if nothing happens!" Mike crossed himself on his chest.
The doctor walked out of the ward after performing a routine examination on Keegan. Earlier, Southampton senior officials came to visit him, and they did the same thing.
"Mike, how is Theo in the youth training team?" Although his left arm was hung on his chest, when Kevin Keegan opened his mouth, it was the young genius he cared about.
"Awesome! Mr. Keegan!" Mike's eyes shone when he mentioned Walcott, "He is a magical guy! He is like a gust of wind, no one can catch up after he runs!"
"Hehehehe, let me just say, his speed is one of the best in the Premier League. Maybe even Irving may not be able to catch up with him."
When Owen left Liverpool and the Premier League, his status in England fell from the altar.
Although Liverpool cannot give Irving a league championship, Irving would rather go to Real Madrid and serve as a substitute for Raul and the others than stay in the Red Army that exploited him. This will inevitably make English fans feel grudges.
What's more, Liverpool had just staged the Miracle of Istanbul in Turkey. Compared with the loyalty of his friend Gerrard at the same time, Owen was naturally regarded as the object of ridicule by many people.
"He is definitely faster than Irving!" Mike assured, patting his chest. "And his breakthrough ability is also very strong. Very few people can catch him. If you ask me, Theo should be given the title of "Feng Chasing Boy"! "
Kevin Keegan was also happy to hear Mike's praise. After all, he recommended Walcott to Southampton.
Although Walcott was bought by Southampton for their youth team early on, no one ever thought of promoting him to the first team before he turned 18.
When Kevin Keegan came to Southampton, he immediately fell in love with this young man who could fly on the green field.
Football is a complex sport that requires the coordinated operations of eleven people on the field, supplemented by the head coach's tactics, to achieve victory.
However, football is sometimes very simple. The flash of a certain star can dominate the victory of a game.
A player with extreme advantages and attributes like Walcott is most likely to perform this kind of "one person drags the whole team" drama.
Think about it, when you can't even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes, the so-called "physical confrontation" becomes a joke.
"If Theo can quickly integrate into the first team, I dare say Southampton can return to the Premier League next season!"
Kevin Keegan has long had a tactical play style headed by Walcott in his mind. As a head coach, he can't wait to make it happen.
"Mr. Keegan, that is to say, next season..." Upon hearing this, Mike's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see some light.
"Haha, this is something that was just decided. You are the head coach of the trial team and the youth team, and you can be considered a Southampton native, so I won't hide it from you." Keegan chuckled, "Earlier Mr. Cartman came to see me at that time, and he had agreed to all my conditions. Fortunately, my legs were not broken, and I can still move my right hand, which does not affect my command from the sidelines."
"Ahaha! That's great. This is the best news I've heard since the team was relegated!"
Originally, Kevin Keegan was still at odds with Southampton, but now, a car accident has brought the club closer to the England hero again.
This can be considered a "blessing in disguise".
The two chatted for a while about the trial team and the eventual selection of players. When he mentioned this, Mike's face suddenly became serious.
"Mr. Keegan, now that you have become the team's coach for next season, there is something I have to report to you."
"What's going on?" Seeing Mike speaking so seriously, Kevin Keegan also became curious.
"Mr. Keegan, let me ask first, did the guy who knocked you into this state come to the hospital to see you?"
Hearing this question, Kevin Keegan was stunned, and then said: "Well, I really don't know. I heard that he is a young man. He is fine and has been discharged from the hospital. But because it is our driver's full responsibility, So it’s normal that people didn’t come to see me. Mike, why do you ask?”
"Mr. Keegan, I'm not talking about whose responsibility it is. But I want to tell you that that kid is also a member of our trial team."
"Oh~~~That's it."
Kevin Keegan nodded. Only then did he understand that the Southampton staff member who came to see him had a hint of uneasiness on his face, and only then did he understand why the other party suddenly agreed to all his conditions.
At first I was quite touched, thinking that the other party was sympathizing with me because I was in a car accident, but now I know that they are the "mastermind" behind the "perpetrator"!
But Kevin Keegan is not a small-minded person. Now that he has agreed to this job, he will not back down.
What's more, he is very confident in leading Southampton back to the Premier League, just like he led the Magpies and Newcastle before.
At that time, Keegan introduced England's new strikers Alan Shearer and Ginola to the team. After his careful training, Newcastle became a powerful team in English football.
At that time, he first helped the team successfully avoid relegation from League Two, and then led the team to the top league of the time, League One, and won the best coach of the 92-93 season.
Until after he left Newcastle, Magpies fans still affectionately called him "King Keegan".
After breaking up amicably with Manchester City, Keegan wanted to find a new home to return to the top.
Four years of fighting against relegation at Manchester City had smoothed Keegan's edges, and when Liverpool's miracle happened in Istanbul, it also aroused the half-centenarian's ambitions.
Since Liverpool was able to score three goals in a row in the second half, why can't he usher in his second spring as coach?
Today's Southampton is like Newcastle at that time. Not only does the team have the strength to hit the Premier League, it also discovered Walcott, who is as talented as Shearer back then.
So is it possible to lead Southampton back to the Premier League and even stage an English version of Kaiserslautern?
You must know that when they were in Newcastle, the Magpies led the second place by 12 points for a long time, and finally lost unfortunately.
Now that he has the opportunity to make up for the regrets of the past, Kevin Keegan doesn't want to give up easily.
"How was he playing? How was the trial result?"
After thinking about it, Keegan also became interested in the target of the incident.
"Mr. Keegan..." Mike stuttered in reply, "If I told you that he passed the team trial and had the intention to put him into the first team to train with the team, would you be angry? "
