Chapter 136: The relegation brothers go together, and whoever gets three points is hot

This weekend, the temperature across England plummeted, but those Championship giants except Portsmouth did not open a position to send warmth, Doncaster lost 5-1 at home to Leeds United, Coventry City won seven away shots, Harry Kane, who went to Millwall on loan from Tottenham, scored five goals alone, and then Barnsley and Bristol City, respectively, against Watford and Nottingham Forest, they were good and they only drew with their opponents. After such a circle, Hydward was surprised to find that Lao Tzu's ranking did not change even after losing, because the brothers and sisters in the relegation circle lost or drawn.

This winter, the relegation brothers go together, and whoever gets three points is hot!

Coventry: What do I want these three points for?

Hillbilly Barnsley: I want one point.

Doncaster: Still uneasy, still melancholy~~

Bristol City: Portsmouth is at the top...

More than once this winter, Edward wanted to play Harry Kane's idea, but Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Brown. Levy is the main reason why he is reluctant to do business with this club, how can this brother put the shrewd Manchester United CEO David Brown. Gil was stunned, Carrick and Berbatov's transfer deals went on a rollercoaster ride, and in Ferguson's office, the gentleman's David swore several times that he would never go to that damn club again. Daniel. Levy is a guy who always thinks from Tottenham's point of view and nothing else, but from the perspective of the fans, it is also a blessing for the fans to have such a chairman.

So in the face of Portsmouth, Daniel only wants Harry Kane to go out on loan, and can't add any terms, including the worthless player apprenticeship salary to be paid by Pompey's army, and also to contribute a loan fund... Well, I took it, inexplicably he felt a little sorry for the fans next door in North London, and Hydward didn't want to do business with this guy anymore.

January's fixtures continue, with them heading to Kingston Communications Stadium on the 26th to take on Tiger Hull City, followed by the League Cup semi-finals on the 28th, with Liverpool and Manchester City as well as Crystal Palace and Cardiff City, which have nothing to do with Portsmouth, who were knocked out of the second round early. The final stage of January on the 30th will usher in a rematch of the fourth knockout round of the FA Cup, which means that when the last game is tied after 90 minutes, the two sides exchange home and away games to choose a replay, and if there is a draw, extra-time and penalty shoot-outs will be played.

The FA Cup, founded on 26 October 1863, is a historic tournament and England is a country that values tradition very seriously, so this replay system continues to this day. In the eyes of many fans, the original match between Portsmouth and Manchester United was a victory for Pompeo's army after 90 minutes, because as long as it can be replayed, it is a lot of money from the perspective of tickets and broadcast revenue. It's just that Edward's team played their best performance of the season, causing Manchester United to be eliminated in the round of 32 directly away from home, thus deeply reflecting his name in the hearts of all Portsmouth, including Manchester United fans. And his good performance on the field was also a crucial step for Hydward to win the FA, Manchester United, and the respect of the English coaching circle, and the game could even be said to change the fate of the fake manager.

The match on the 30th is still not about them, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool; Southampton and Millwall; Derby County and Leicester City, with six teams vying for the final three spots in the round of 16, are all cash-strapped Championship teams pecking at each other, and Portsmouth has long been out of the low-level interest of hoping to make money from the FA Cup.

Ahead of the Hull game, Edward organised a first-team and youth match, which was played in full swing as the youth team had the best counter-attacking tactics in addition to N'Golo Kante (who coaches usually put on the weaker side) and Sadio Mane and new arrival Vardy.

Jamie Vardy is the kind of player who can turn a ball that has no hope of snatching back into chances and score goals, never stop running up front, never stop attacking the defence, live like a pest! Because he knew that he had made a mistake, he worked extra hard in training, and the team's extra training quartet had a fifth person in the past two days.

"Mane!!" Vardy runs along the right-hand line towards the baseline, his hands raised high.

Sadio Mane clearly saw him, and the Senegalese started up laterally and suddenly accelerated, with Drinkwater and Norris leaning in to defend, but the ball came through the gap between the defenders, penetrating and the diagonal pass was just right in front of Vardy. The latter forced Thomas Meunier in one trip, and the Belgian saw that the defense was hopeless, and fell to the ground with a vicious tackle that did not give his team-mate face at all. Vardy was tackled to the ground, he caught a glimpse that the ball didn't roll far, his body bounced up like a spring, continued to dribble the ball, continued to accelerate, okay, another one, bottom!

Sadio Mane didn't slow down a point after giving the pass, and he quickly stepped in to get close to support Vardy, "Jamie, this! 'He likes that way of playing, cutting inside down the wing, passing, running off the ball, receiving the ball, shooting, and Jamie Vardy takes aim for a flickering gap and crosses the box from the inverted triangle between the legs of the tall Rudiger.

"Pretty!!" Walker clapped desperately on the sidelines, apparently forgetting who he was as a coach.

Mustafi, who partnered with Rudiger, immediately stepped up to complete a package with Drinkwater, he blocked the space of Mane's left-footed long-range shot while trying to complete the break, he wanted to find a suitable time to get down, in addition to the speed Mane's left foot is huge, everyone in the team knows it.

Mane tried to shake twice to no avail, and Mendy taunted his good friend every time: "Boy, after the first touch, the whole world knows what you want to do!" "So Mane tried to shake it didn't work, the answer is please take out a little bit of winger self-cultivation, okay? Do you mean that I am a penman?

The African guy looked at the slightest gap and forced the goal to be blocked, just when everyone sighed that the beautiful ball of Mousse Defense was a pity, the ball did not roll too far, Kante, who was inserted in the back row, stopped the ball with the instep and lightly pushed it into the far corner.

The ball is symbolic, non-world-waved, soft, and then it goes in, it goes in, it goes...

Everyone on the pitch was obviously not prepared for this goal, even Enyeyama didn't think he would score, he still didn't pounce, I had to save my energy, so I didn't react at all when I stood in front of the goal.

"What an astonishing bunch of geniuses, isn't it? Hydward: "Yang Dianqiu doesn't know when he came to the head coach, Master Yang never came to the training ground to watch the game in the past, it seems that he has countless jobs that he can't finish, but recently because of Ali, he will come from time to time to take a look.

Never to anyone without false colors of Dele. Ali nodded at the middle-aged man who appeared on the sidelines, "If I didn't come to Europe, my son would be so old," he said with a smile.

After watching for two minutes and saying two sentences, he rubbed his arm and said, "You guys train, I won't bother." ”

Chef Yang stood a few meters away from Hydward, not wanting his oil-stained chef's uniform to touch someone's clean training clothes, he lowered his head, smiled on his wrinkled face, and slowly walked away with his hands behind him.

Hydward tried to stop him for a while, but Master Yang didn't have any intention of turning back.

This middle-aged man from China, his family is a mystery, his age is a mystery, but in the eyes of all Portsmouth players and coaches, he is a good person and hardworking; Simple, but sometimes it seems a little mysterious.
