No matter how you say it, Jing Jian is not the protagonist of today's game. And at the beginning of the game, the players on both sides did not disappoint the audience, and began to fight fiercely and launched a confrontation. In just five minutes, there were three shots from each side, and Portsmouth's fourth shot was scored by this season's rookie striker Shearer. However, in the cheers of the whole stadium, the linesman raised the flag high, and the referee blew the whistle.

The audience suddenly resounded with deafening boos, and the cursing of the referee was endless. Although judging from the slow-motion replay on the big screen, this goal is indeed offside. But...... Do you need a reason to scold the referee?

Portsmouth manager Gavin frowned slightly, while United manager Alex Ferguson was ranting at his players. However, the manager's role dropped sharply as soon as the game began, and Portsmouth had already gained momentum, taking advantage of the wind to immediately attack and launch a siege on Manchester United's goal.

In the eighth minute of the game, the Manchester United goalkeeper made a wonderful save to block a world wave that was bound to score; in the tenth minute, Portsmouth's shot hit the post, which attracted the home fans' regretful exclamations; in the thirteenth minute, Portsmouth got a single chance, and as a last resort, Manchester United fouled in the penalty area, and the referee blew the whistle in time......

"Penalty, penalty!"

The fans in the stadium held their breath, staring at the Portsmouth players with a strong shot, the angle of the shot was tricky, and the Manchester United goalkeeper was even more deceived in the wrong direction, just listen to the "bang", football ...... and was blocked by the goalpost.

Seeing that the ball didn't go in, Pixar slapped his thigh angrily. And the assistant manager of Manchester United applauded softly with joy. Jing Jian also felt quite sorry, smiled and said to Pixar beside him: "Today's best player should be that goalpost." ”

"Hey, hey. At this time, Pixar also slowly calmed down. He took a few deep breaths, "Sir, we have the advantage, sooner or later we will score." ”

Pixar's words were really good. Although he missed the penalty, Portsmouth was even more imposing. Seeing that the situation was not good, Manchester United began to retreat in an all-round way, leaving only one striker in the front, and almost completely abandoned the attack......

Another long-range shot was blocked by a Manchester United player. As soon as the ball landed, the Manchester United defenders who grabbed it blindly drove forward to clear the ball. Coincidentally, the football landed right in the Manchester United striker's position. However, despite grabbing the ball, no other player stepped forward to pick it up, and the Manchester United striker could only control the ball with his own personal skills, and was slowly forced into the corner area by three Portsmouth defenders.

Seeing that the ball at his feet was about to be lost, the Manchester United striker had no choice but to turn and send it to the penalty area. At this time, the other players of Manchester United still did not run in place, and the ball was weak, and the defenders of Portsmouth were in place, and it should be said that there was no threat.

However, as the saying goes, football is round!

In the face of the football, the goalkeeper and defender of Portsmouth did not notice the position of the other party, and the two collided in the air, and the football was actually knocked by the defender of Portsmouth, but I didn't expect the football to change direction and slowly roll into the gate?

"God, own goal!"

The home fans were holding their heads in disbelief. And the TV host of the broadcast also said in a regretful tone: "Portsmouth's luck is too bad, this goal is really unbelievable......"

The unexpected goal conceded made Portsmouth's players a little confused. Manchester United, on the other hand, gradually recovered, showing the ability of a strong team, and slowly fought back to midfield. The scene became offensive and defensive. Both sides had a lot of chances, but they didn't grasp them, and the time slowly reached 40 minutes of the first half......

Just when everyone thought the scene was going to be dull and ended the first half with such a scoreline, Portsmouth burst into the box and fired a long-range shot past Manchester United. The whole stadium instantly became boiling. In the final moments of the first half, Portsmouth stubbornly equalised.

......

At half-time, the fans were still unsatisfied, drinking a beer and blowing with their companions, as is customary in the English stadium. And Jing Jian also smiled and listened to Pixar's words: "Sir, the children are doing well. Maybe your arrival will make them more motivated......"

Jing Jian didn't take these compliments to heart. In fact, he was a little strange that there was only one player in Shearer's squad today. And Suker was on the bench, and Zidane didn't even make it to the squad.

Finally couldn't help it, Jing Jian asked in a low voice: "How did the three young players who were introduced this year perform?"

Pixar is certainly familiar with the team's situation: "Shearer has been quick to integrate and has been so popular with the fans that he has already made it into the top five in jersey sales. Although Suke's skills are excellent, he is not even the main player of the Yugoslav national team, and there is an overlap with our main player position, so he is basically a water cooler keeper. As for that French kid Zidane, sir, you really have a good eye, his skills are really good, it's just ...... Too young. Now the reserve team plays games to gain experience. ”

Seeing that Jing Jian's face was a little bad, Pixar was a little worried: "Sir, is there any problem?" In the tradition of any team, in the use of players, the head coach has the right to make a decision, even if the chairman of the club only has the right to make suggestions. Pixar was afraid that Jing Jian didn't know how to pretend to understand, and interfered indiscriminately, which made the club panic.

Of course, Jing Jian was a little dissatisfied. He bought Suker and Zidane for use, not for the cold bench or any reserves. For this reason, Jing Jian even gave up on bringing in other foreign players (at this time, only three foreign players can play in a game in League One), just to ensure the playing time of the three young players this year.

But at this time, there is no need to do anything to affect unity. So Jing Jian smiled slightly: "Pixar, continue to watch the game." You see, they've already played. ”

......

At the beginning of the second half, Portsmouth still chose to attack, unwilling to get a draw on his home turf. And in the game, they changed the two wings in the first half, crossed from the side, and played a short pass penetration in the middle. It was a tactical change that caught United off guard, and after two one-twos in quick succession, Portsmouth tore through the Reds' defence and slotted home a fine goal from Alan Shearer.

2：1！
