Chapter 296: Dash

Wayne Rooney!! A beautiful volley, his ninth goal of the season, behind only Robin van Persie's 11, looked like the Reds had won the game. A win over Sunderland would see the Reds complete a staggering 11-game winning streak, with the last defeat coming at Tottenham Hotspur in the sixth round. Ferguson has been phenomenally dominant this season since missing out on the league title last season. "Manchester United's commentators are raving the team's high form

……………..

On the other hand, "Portsmouth seems to have forgotten their shooting boots at Fatun Stadium, they shot 32 shots in this game, but most of them put anti-aircraft guns, they have played too many long-range shots recently, Klose has been injured and his form has not been maintained, Belotti has a good goal efficiency but still lacks absolute dominance in the penalty area, this lad likes to pull the side too much." ”

Portsmouth's 3-3 draw at home to Liverpool followed by a 0-0 draw away at West Bromwich Albion to draw two consecutive league games and narrow the gap on 36 points to Manchester City to one point and Manchester United to nine points. A clash with Reading before Christmas was a good chance to pick up points, with Reading slipping to the bottom of the table following a defeat to Queens Park Rangers in this round. Portsmouth are good enough to be promoted and we have seen a resurgence of Pompey this winter, and fans have reason to expect further from this young squad. ”

…………….

Heidward felt he had to cheer the team up and cheer him up.

On December 22, 2012, in the 18th round of the Premier League, Portsmouth will face Reading at home, and before this game, Manchester City won 2-1 at home with Aguero's winner of the fourth-ranked Everton, temporarily surpassing Portsmouth in second place, Chelsea also regained its long-lost form at home and beat Southampton 5-0, Pochettino's winning streak came to an abrupt end. This time slot also coincides with Manchester United vs Sunderland and Liverpool vs Norwich City.

In his official matchday column, Hydward wrote: "If you want Pompey to be a place to be alive and cheering, you have to play with passion, and you have to do that all season, and the results will prove it." But now I have to remind myself: when we relax, we can be at our best, when we can perform at our best. ”

'There's been a lot of talk about us, it's not been like that in the last 50 years when Portsmouth was a Premier League powerhouse, it's part of competitive sport, but as a manager I can't pay too much attention to what the outside world says, if someone thinks the team is going to be influenced by the outside world, they obviously don't understand us, we only care about ourselves.

'It wasn't as easy as people thought it would be, Reading had a great coach and I have a lot of respect for him. I once told my disciples about the old boys of Reading, everyone has their own heroic epic in their hearts, once a teenager walked to the intersection of thirty, but not all the people you worship can eventually become gods. Hunter Noel, Simon Church and Jason Roberts have scored 167 goals in three years in the Championship, and Premier League fans may not be able to name them, and the three have now scored more than 10 goals in different teams together this year. Joel McNooper, who is in his eighth year at Reading in the Jamaican midfielder, has been in the Premier League and Joel, and the answer for Reading fans is undoubtedly the latter, who has witnessed the club's first Premier League journey with the club, as well as the club's difficult climb up the table, with his teammates leaving, a new dressing room, a new owner, and he is the only one in the huge stadium. ”

"Pushing others and themselves, there is a Chinese poem: floating hatred and entertainment are less, willing to love the daughter and smile, I once gave up Haim, every Portsmouth person remembers this big man, I want to apologize to him, he chose to stay in the most difficult time of the team, but the last loyalty is to leave, which is unfair."

"Take this opportunity, Haim, welcome back and watch. Of course, Lawrence, Marco, Ricciardo, Jonathan are equally welcome, and maybe I can treat you guys to a drink. ”

Hydward's matchday column has caused a strong reaction in front of Portsmouth fans, the most discussed topic of Pompeo's army this season is from the brink of bankruptcy to the top of the Premier League, Heideward, England's new young coach has been dissected over and over again from tactical style to behavior, he has turned all the players he can sell into cash that can be manipulated, and it is not bad to say that he is cold to be unkind, but now it seems that except for a few players like Benjani, no player has said a word about Hydeward's in front of the media.

Haim flew from Israel to watch the game, Lawrence also came from Ireland, and most of the original Portsmouth main players have now left England, left the top five leagues, and returned to their home country, and they don't know when they want to meet. Before the start of the game, Portsmouth fans welcomed the former heroes with huge banners, and the whole stadium was full of warmth. In such an atmosphere, Portsmouth won the three points cleanly 3-0 thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Kevin De Bruyne and Goretzka.

After this incident, Portsmouth's team correspondent, Grero, an old friend of Hydward, published an article about Hydward before Christmas:

For Hydward, earning the respect of athletes and building prestige is a matter of success. This prestige is very important for all coaches, but it is also very fragile and requires a lot of hard work to maintain. In my opinion, Hydward is a coach who is good at building and maintaining his prestige, and he has all the qualities to be a top coach.

……….

The BBC famously asked, what image do you want to be remembered for? What kind of image do coaches want to be remembered by athletes? Hydward said he wants every athlete he's brought to remember his experience with him and his coaching methods. He realised that he was just a passerby in the player's slow journey through life. No matter how long you coach, there's a limit to how much time you can influence others. Your coaching career is only a dash between the beginning and the end at the end, and he's very short.

……….

Hydward wrote a short poem about a man standing up and speaking at a coach's retirement reception.

He looks back on the coach's entire career, from start to finish.

He spoke enthusiastically about the first and last days of his career with the coach.

But he said that the most important thing is the dash between the two dates,

Because this represents his entire coaching career.

Now, only those who adored him and who have been guided by him know what this little line means.

Because no matter how many games we win, how many trophies we win, how many records we break or how many prizes we earn, the most important thing is whether we value and love our dashes.

So, think about it, is there anything you'd like to change?

Because you never know how much time you have left in your career.

If you slow down a bit, try to understand the athlete's thoughts, don't get angry easily, and thank them and apologize.

We should respect the players, smile at them and remember that the dash is fleeting.

So, when your coaching career comes to an end, when you drink the red wine from the retirement party.........

Does that dash make you proud? 2k reading web
