Hydward didn't have the courage to turn the whole of English football upside down.

Jose Mourinho's first day at Chelsea in '04, chewing gum at the press conference and saying frantically: "I'm not a grassroots, I think I'm a special one." "At that time, England was still in the era of Ferguson Wenger's double hegemony, and the arrival of the madman completely broke the pattern of the Premier League.

In the 08-09 Premier League, Liverpool led the Premier League standings, followed by Manchester United, and Ferguson played psychological warfare in an interview, saying that Liverpool would enter an unfamiliar territory at the end of the league. The implication was that Liverpool would lose the title due to too much pressure, and Rafa Benitez simply took out an A4 paper at the press conference and spoke eloquently to reporters from all over England. Count Ferguson's "Top 10 Crimes", including "Only Ferguson talks about referees who will not be punished." ”

Hydward didn't have that much influence, and Portsmouth didn't have it, and assistant coach Walker told him that there were two reporters at the press conference after the Barnsley game, and everyone was about to fall asleep.

All the problems were not related to this game, Belgium coach Speed committed suicide at home due to depression a few days ago, and another referee attempted suicide due to depression the day before the game. This incident caused the whole world football to think, and Walker did nothing but express his condolences for the deceased.

didn't talk about tactics, nor did he criticize the opponent, the host of the press conference was about to fall asleep, and the five people chatted awkwardly together.

Maybe the two reporters didn't know that the assistant coach of the team was sitting on the rostrum.

Because a local newspaper in Portsmouth clearly wrote: "Pompeo's new manager expresses his condolences to Speed, who is my friend." Such a title.

But when it comes to depression, Hydward has also found such signs in the team.

Lawrence, who had just scored in the last round, was quiet in training. Run; Stretch; Always hang your head down, attracting the sideways glances of your teammates.

The singing Irishman was gone.

Sweat dripped down his hair and onto the turf, and his back was completely soaked. Lawrence's hands and feet bobbed up and down very quickly, his muscles were slightly red, and fine beads of sweat ran down the base of his thighs to his socks.

His golden hair covered his eyes, he couldn't see clearly, he had elastic bandages around his waist, and his hands and feet were full of weight-bearing blocks, about twice as heavy as Ricardo's, which Lawrence had applied for on his own initiative three days ago.

Hydward said first, added weights, the first run will not be less than a kilometer, the confrontation will not be lighter, I feel that it is not possible to withdraw, not forced.

Lawrence just shook his head slightly, the next day he was the first to come to the training ground, and Margery innocently lay down again, and was once again severely beaten by Ward, half past six? You can check out Lawrence at what time!

The Irish arrived early and left the latest, sleeping in the players' quarters since the team came to the chef. Chef Yang is very responsible, and there are hot meals many nights.

The night before the game, Lawrence sat on the grass on the training ground for the first time in a decadent manner, the solid ball beside him had been changed from five pounds to twelve.

He lay flat on the grass, his mouth gasping outward one by one, there was no wind at night, but the moonlight was still very beautiful, like a crooked boat wandering in the heavenly river.

Hydward sat down beside him quietly, tried the softness of the turf, and pulled a piece of grass into his mouth, the taste was astringent, although this kind of winter grass was not of high grade, but it was also the most common one on the market.

The caretaker of the turf left before he took office, and now the work of managing the grass is done by the players, it is simply two knives, and the machine is like playing, full of laughter, this is the happiest activity after their intense training.

Lawrence apparently noticed the movement around him.

"Boss, I'll take a break and train right away."

Ward patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling not to rush.

"Rest for a while, the evening training is already over, let's talk."

The Irishman's body gradually relaxed, and Hydward had no fixed requirements for the salutation, the coach, the manager, the boss, the boss, it didn't matter if they called him by his first name, or even shouted "Hey", as long as they wanted to.

"Tomorrow's opponent, Ipswich, I noticed that they also have an Irishman in their squad, do you know Lawrence?"

"Andrews, we're very good friends."

The boy climbed up, from lying down to sitting, and Ward noticed that his right hand was clutching the turf, and it seemed that Lawrence was not as calm as he appeared.

Ward told him what he had learned about Andrews from beginning to end.

Ipswich's current manager, Paul Jewell, is clearly not an easy man to match, and in the transfer market at the start of the season, Jewell made a commendable transfer.

27-year-old Irish striker, Andrews. His performance is amazing, the most intuitive statistic is the goal, crazy goals, 12 goals in 10 league games, the top scorer list. There were also two goals in four cup games, including a 1-0 home win over Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Andrews sprinted 40 metres into a frenzied run past Alexander Song, one of England's best defenders at the time, past K6 Koscielny and finally goalkeeper Szczesny.

It's just such a figure that has become a nightmare for all teams in the Championship, physically strong, fast, and crushing the level of confrontation.

Lawrence can't do it, he can do it all, this is a typical striker who eats by his body, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have skills, he relies on his body to make it up.

"I'm not as good as him, boss."

'We grew up together, he was an Ireland international and I didn't even know what the national team was like. He's been to Blackburn; Been to Wolves; Been to Birmingham; I could go to West Brromwich Albion in the future, but the furthest I went was in England's seventh tier. ”

Lawrence grabbed his own hair, probably too hard, and it was all on his hands.

Life is cruel, and football is even more so, and he seems a little lost.

"How did I get here?"

yes, how did you get here? Andrews seems to be a mirror, where it seems to be him, but in fact, it is all reflected in his own appearance.

Who doesn't have a next-door neighbor's child, this creature can be learned in nine homework at the same time, can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, come out to work as a civil servant is easy and rich, don't play games, don't read comics, scold your mother when you see the computer, look good, write well, and have good transcripts.

Hydward handed over a note, densely filled with time and events.
