When the flames burned out, the curtain of the 2012-2013 Premier League season opened in the willing and unwilling, Portsmouth 3:2 Aston Villa was elected the best game of the round, of course, other teams more or less gave people a wonderful performance.

Farms Fulham beat Norwich 5-0 at home thanks to a two-pass strike from new signing Dimitar Berbatov, captain Ruiz scored a brace to beat Norwich 5-0 at home, and Swansea were even more remarkable as they thrashed Queens Park Rangers 5-0 on the road. Compared to Norwich, QPR looks even more miserable, in the past two years, they have relied on visa exemptions and spending money to get a lot of balloon stars in the transfer market, but the strength of the team has not improved much, and the players are on the field with high salaries, and they don't care about winning or losing at all. Swansea midfielder Michu completed several one-on-four performances at the edge of the penalty area, with a single arrow, a midfielder, a shadow striker, and everything from passes, shots, and dribbles to the Spaniard's wonderful performance that made QPR fans begin to applaud him.

In the summer of 2012, Swansea spent a measly 2 million to recruit Michu, and Hydward clearly remembered how well the handsome midfielder played this season, scoring 13 Premier League goals in half a season, and a foreigner was able to score 13 Premier League goals before Christmas, which only Aguero had done in his first year at Manchester City, and Van Persie, Suarez, Bale and other good players were expected to eat many rounds of ash under his ass. 35xs

Elsewhere, Arsenal drew 0-0 at home to Sunderland in their opener, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic by two goals, Manchester City beat Southampton 3-1 and Reading drew 0-0 with Stoke City. In addition to these, the first round of the Premier League also hit the cold wind, West Brom won the Reds by three goals at home; Everton taught Alex Ferguson a goal at home, Magpies Newcastle won 2-1 at Tottenham, and only Manchester City's Sergio Aguero opened the first round among the Premier League's big6 strikers.

…………………

So when the first round is still reminiscing, the second round is already in full swing.

On August 25, Beijing time, at 7:45 on Sunday, Portsmouth flew over most of England to Wales, away to challenge Swansea, Hydward and his party had dinner and it rained outside the Liberty Stadium, and the rain was not small, the rain was accompanied by fog, many fans inside and outside the stadium wore raincoats and umbrellas, and were waiting to queue up for admission.

Heavy rain is something that every professional footballer has to face, and there are countless classic battles born in the heavy rain, 07-08 Champions League final Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea penalty 6-5, Moscow does not believe in tears and Cristiano Ronaldo shed tears on a rainy night in Moscow, Ronaldo missed a penalty, Terry slipped on the penalty spot, Ballack fell to the ground.

In the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, Argentina 2-1 Peru, Higuain opened the scoring in the first half but then lost many opportunities to expand the score, at halftime Argentina replaced Perez with veteran Palermo, the second half was stormy, 89 minutes Peru passed from the right side of the wind obviously affected the line of the ball, and Little Pea Hernandez miraculously equalized 1-1 at the back point. Almost desperate, Argentina scored in the second minute of stoppage time by the madman "Palermo", Argentina don't cry for me, the madman who missed three penalties used this stunt to make a name for himself, and a ticket to South Africa was worth a fortune.

And, of course, on the night when Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-1 at home to return to the top of the table, Henry scored with his left foot 18 meters on the left side of the left and his right foot, and Henry the Great crossed the entire field, ran to the other end of the goal, celebrated on the bottom line, and received the cheers of the fans, and on that rainy night, the whole stadium became the background of Vieira Henry. It's not Juventus's Henry, it's not Monaco's Henry, it's not Barcelona's Henry, he's Henry who belongs to Highbury, the long-distance running goal and kneeling celebration condenses the memory into the most essential point, No. 14, the back of an era, the portrait of the century, and the most beautiful rainbow of youth.

Many people say that they don't like rainy games, rainy days make the turf slippery, players have to prepare special spikes, the ball on which will become extremely irregular, the speed and rhythm can not be controlled, the players' vision will become unclear, they usually let the ball fly in the air in order to win, the game will become boring, the game will be boring, the game will be boring fans will not be enthusiastic. But Hydward loves the weather, very, very, very, very, very much! It rained heavily on the first day he came to the team, and the team won three points from relegation in the heavy rain, and he was ruined in two suits in the heavy rain, and they fought in the heavy rain!

This is the most beautiful footnote of the battle.

……………

When the referee blew the whistle for the game, the rain was still falling, and there was no sign of any dimming, and Hydward's hair was already wet on his head, and he stood in the rain with the players from the first minute of the game, as usual.

Ward looked up and washed his face in the rain, not at all accepting the towel handed by the teaching assistant. He handed the towel to Srna, who was taking a throw-in on the sidelines, and handed over a small note in the towel along the way.

"Look at Michu!" The message of the little note was simple: to choke Swansea's Michu and give the Spaniard enough attention, with Kante staring at him and Freel on the sidelines. On the other hand, others at Swansea, such as Nathan Dale and Hydward, who are right-sided pioneers and claim to be in the top five speeds in the Premier League, have not been able to afford it. Swan Lake's head coach Laudrup is a passionate coach who likes to press and like to attack, if you shrink down in his home stadium to defend is actually very irrational behavior, he will play Michu's core ability ten out of ten, and if it is not good, it is a rout like RPQ, Swansea likes to press, Hydward deliberately let De Bruyne bring the pace of the game fast and follow his heart, the opposite side likes to attack, he makes the player pass more risky, play more behind, most of the teams that like to attack will not be behind the defense, This will stretch the battle line too long and will be cut off by the opponent.

So Portsmouth is not conservative in this game, so how to strangle the core in the process of counterattack is particularly important, the general coach's selection point will most likely be in the midfield Mark Gwill or even Ji Chengyong, guess Leon Brinton This kind of back player is more reliable than guess Michu, the "nobody", the head coach of the last round of league RPQ Lao Lei is to put the treasure on the Brinton he is optimistic about, and was beaten into a sieve. Laudrup's cunning: when everyone imitates Carlo Ancelotti to put the core behind, he has to move forward, even in the forward position and then retreat.

However, this conspiracy was declared bankrupt in the eyes of Hydward's foresight, when he surrounded Michu with heavy troops. Ward guessed the opponent's tactical arrangement, but Laudrup didn't guess him, in this game he put Louis Brent on the bench, switched to Dele Ali, and then moved Kevin De Bruyne to the side, Ali played, this operation obviously shook Swansea down, the Kevin who looks like he can pass the ball to the side? To follow or not to follow?

Laudrup, who had been thinking about it for more than ten minutes at the beginning, finally moved the targeted troops from the side to the middle.

Hydward smiled treacherously successful.
