Portsmouth have a serious top-heavy squad at the moment, and it's clear that the players are aware of that.

When the club signed Jamie Vardy and Mauro Icardi, Eric and Benjani realised they had fewer appearances at Portsmouth, perhaps not at all, and even Lawrence had doubts about his availability for the second half of the season.

On the first day before the warm-up match against Southampton, Benjani was called into the office by Hydward before he had even put on his shoes, and the scene became extremely embarrassing for a while.

Ward: "How does it feel?" ”

Benjani: "Very good, um, a little apprehensive. ”

Ward looked at him, paused for half a second and said, "You must be ready to play as a substitute." ”

Benjani has a bit of a reputation for Portsmouth, as evidenced by his second-pick striker last season. Nkowo in the first round. Kanushae left the team in turn. However, Edward has been quiet since taking office, relying on his own subjective judgment to remove his main position without giving any chance, and even let Benjani's appearance order be ranked behind Lawrence and Lukwani who was promoted from the reserves, which many fans and players themselves did not expect.

Maybe the head coach has the reason of the head coach, the strength is not enough, the tactics are not compatible, or he dislikes his slightly fat figure, and there is no way to modify the decision once it is made.

Benjani said: "I know, I can understand. ”

Hydward's eyes stared at his players, his fingers tapping erratically on the table: "You know, we signed Icardi. ”

The atmosphere felt a little weird, Benjani didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning behind the tone, he was still immersed in his own world: "Okay, I'll work harder, work like crazy, to win a place inside, and I'll make you sure that I have enough strength." ”

The substitutions that Hydward just mentioned, signing Icardi, etc., are all excuses, and he has only one purpose, to let the player go!

It's going to be a tough job.

After a few more conversations, Hydward gradually got annoyed, he doesn't like to hide and vague character, maybe this kind of expression can sometimes hurt the players.

"Benjani, we may not be able to continue, I'm sorry," he said word by word.

Benjani's face became wonderful, red and white, but there was no expression on his face, his fingers clutching the corner of the table, the veins on the back of his hand exposed to the air. After a few seconds, Benjani lowered his head to keep Hydward from seeing his eyes.

"Go back and rest for a few days, and you can discuss with Tom later in terminating the contract. I think it's the right time to go on with a better club and Portsmouth won't put any obstacles in the way......"

Benjani glanced at him, his eyes were full of indifference, the relationship between the two was almost at the point of breakage, and this feeling was almost impossible to disguise.

"You've been on my watchful side, in case I suddenly get out of control, and give you that. I'm in front of you, like a piece of trash, and you look at me like I'm an outsider in the way, shit, am I a wall? A wall made of stone, without a hint of humanity, you always want me to stay away from the team. ”

Things gradually reached the point of no return.

Benjani felt that in the dressing room, Hydeward's constant nagging football philosophy, blood and sweat, sweat and tears, fighting spirit, were all a bunch of high-sounding nonsense.

He went berserk and completely lost his mind, pushing the desk in the office more than half a meter high to the ground, "my enemy is scratching his hair". Benjani yelled at this, took off his Portsmouth shirt and threw it into the corner.

After the blue jersey fell to the ground, Hydward didn't say a word, just picked it up and put it back in a box.

His tone was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened: "I'll let Eric send you back." ”

The termination of a player's contract is like firing an employee in a company, and the huge sense of self-denial is enough to break a five-foot-tall man.

………………

Benjani is gone, he didn't bring a penny of transfer fees to the team, he doesn't look at his team, he doesn't look at the team, he looks at the team, but the team doesn't look down on him.

Eventually he left England and went to another league, which of course was another story. Benjani, who has calmed down, hasn't done anything to the media to blast the manager, but don't expect him to read Heideward's good, there is no winner in this fight.

Immediately afterwards, Eric also left, and he went to Milton Keynes Dons in League One, from where he traded for a young player, Dele. Ali.

Erik is much calmer than the hysterical Benjani, who values playing more than continuing to waste time at Portsmouth.

The successive departures of players have caused self-doubt among many, including Lawrence, but Hydward did not let the atmosphere continue. He's making a little change, and at least the decisive banishment of Benjani has earned him prestige.

Hydward doesn't want to give his players a chance, but he needs a guy who can make him more successful.

This winter, Pompey's army is changing inside and out, the team is starting to see a clear change of youth, and the manager is starting to gradually change his identity.

Hydward began to move away from the locker room, and when you walked in, the noise inside instantly quieted down, like a teacher walking into a classroom. But the player and the coach are two kinds of people on two different platforms, and he needs the player to be able to say it, no matter what he says, the car; House; Women can do it, they can scold coaches, they need to vent, players need secrets and the dressing room is the best and best place. When you walk in there, it means that the game is about to start, and it only takes three to five minutes to get them into the fight, and it's all nonsense. When you spend hours talking about tactics, you don't necessarily hear much from the players, usually the left ear goes in and out of the right ear, and that's what Hydward discovered when there were more young players in the Portsmouth squad.

Before the warm-up match began, he finally accepted Saul. Campbell's proposal to bring the 38-year-old centre-back into the mix. It is true that the team is lacking an experienced centre-back, and even if he has a new selection, Campbell's illustrious resume and experience will still be indispensable, which will be a valuable asset to the young team in the team.

Hydward said, "Campbell, if you don't meet my requirements, I'll let you go." ”

The attitude was tough and left no stone unturned, as was the case with Pierce, but both veterans accepted the challenge.

Edward walked into the dressing room with a blank sheet of paper with his name written on it, he was on his way to announcing the squad for the game, and tomorrow it was the Southbank derby against Southampton.
