Chapter 40: The Incident

Towards the last minutes of the second half, Chelsea attacked Southampton relentlessly. They don't want to get a draw at home. Southampton players were forced to be restricted in the penalty box. Even Kazuki himself was busy marking Chelsea players in the penalty box.

In the last minute of the second-half injury time, Hazard did again an extraordinary dribble. He managed to deceive the Southampton players, after that, Hazard had a chance to shoot the ball. But Hazard's shot was caught by Dean Smith. The whistle sounds signaling the game is over.

"The match between Southampton and Chelsea is officially over. Chelsea, who are playing at home, had to settle for a draw by the guest, Southampton. Chelsea's goals were scored by Dusan Removic in the 37th minute and 74th minute. Meanwhile, Southampton's goals were scored by Wright-Phillips in the 66th minute and Kazuki in the 81st minute. This is the sixth time Kazuki has scored in the 4 matches he has played."

Chelsea fans must be disappointed because their favorite team failed to win. Of course, the most regretful of this result is Mourinho. He regretted letting Ruiz play, maybe if Terry played at center-back the result would have been different. Southampton's first goal came because of Ruiz's negligence. Southampton's second goal was also because Kazuki managed to get past Ruiz as the last line of Chelsea's defense.

On the other hand, Ruiz also felt ashamed of himself. Throughout the second half, Ruiz and Kazuki had many conversations. Instead of getting Kazuki provoked, Ruiz himself was provoked. It was precisely because of Kazuki's provocation that Ruiz continued to follow him that is how Southampton's first goal was created.

Wright-Phillips walked up to Lambert, he stopped Lambert by calling out to him, "Sir, would you mind swapping shirts with me?"

Lambert turned and saw the Southampton player who asked him to change clothes. He recognized Wright-Phillips who scored Southampton's first goal. He took off his shirt while asking, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wright-Phillips, I admire you," said Wright-Phillips excitedly.

"You played well."

"Thank you."

At the same time, Kazuki was also intercepted by Hazard. Kazuki was surprised to see that young Belgian origin coming towards him.

"Can we swap shirts?" asked Hazard.

Kazuki said casually, "Sure." Kazuki himself had no intention of exchanging shirts with the Chelsea players. The reason is that there is no one of The Blues players that he admires. However, Kazuki wouldn't refuse if anyone asked him to swap shirts.

Kazuki took Hazard's Chelsea shirt and draped it over his shoulder. He gave his Southampton shirt to Hazard. After that, he said to Hazard, "If you fail to live up to your potential, I will throw this shirt away."

Hazard was taken aback by Kazuki's words, right after that he replied, "I will also do the same then."

Kazuki turned around and walked away from Hazard. Even though the conversation between the two looked like rivals, Kazuki didn't think of Hazard as a competitor. The existence of [Dream Training] made Kazuki faster in fulfilling his potential than other players.

Many young players had better potential than Kazuki but in terms of velocity fulfilling the potential, Kazuki was definitely at the forefront. Kazuki's minus point was that his body wasn't able to keep up with the overall development of his abilities.

Mourinho did not attend the post-match press conference, he just ordered his assistant to replace him. The Chelsea coach was lazy to face journalists' questions, especially after Chelsea could only achieve a draw in this match.

The reporters who were aware of Mourinho's absence could only shake their heads helplessly. All the questions they had thought of to annoy Mourinho were in vain.

Media relations with Mourinho have always been like this. When Mourinho wins, the media will let him brag, but when Mourinho loses or fails to live up to expectations the media will attack him.

'I shouldn't accept this guy's invitation, a few hours ago.' Kazuki shook his head regretting his decision a few hours ago. Wright-Phillips invites Kazuki and a few other Southampton players to have some fun at a bar. Kazuki accepted the offer because Wright-Phillips begged him.

At the bar, Kazuki didn't drink much alcohol, he kept his consciousness well. Even though he was chatting with several women but Kazuki didn't plan to spend the night with them.

Things got messy at the bar when Wright-Phillips hit a man. Kazuki didn't know what the chronology was, but he guessed it might be because of a woman. A fight ensued, it turned out that the man who was beaten by Wright-Phillips had many friends.

Finally, the other Southampton players who wanted to stop the fight were dragged into it. The fights between individuals turned into group fights between Southampton players (except for Kazuki who didn't interfere from the start) and the side that had problems with Wright.

After a while, the fighting stopped, but the other Southampton players were injured in several ways. Moreover, Kazuki saw that several other visitors seemed to be recording this incident. This bar fight would probably end up in a serious case. The media will be reporting this case.

In a case like this, the most important thing to do first is to clear his name.. It was important to let people know that Kazuki was not involved in this fight.
