Chapter 103: The Last Training Session
Edward is arranging the first training session for the Portsmouth squad after a short break, and it's simple, jogging; Passing and receiving the ball is a restorative training program.
Because recently, while reading books and preparing for exams, I was busy with club things, and the whole person looked a little sluggish. When directing training, many people were not in the best physical condition like him, and Ward was constantly reminding the players of the regularity of their movements.
In the end, the "old driver" simply went into battle himself, but the first touch of the ball passed the ball out of bounds, "I'm not wearing sneakers, I can't do this shoe." Ward gave himself a reason, but everyone laughed.
Hydward put assistant coach Walker, new goalkeeper coach Jamie Bush. Ashdown, as well as new strength and conditioning coach Steve Ashdown, as well as new strength and conditioning coach Steve Ashdown. Finnan's whole team pulled and jogged together. Finnan, who has been retired for more than half a year, is more suitable for Portsmouth to be a coach than to be a player.
"Boss, you look good with red glasses." Etuhu came over to talk to the manager as he ran, and today was his first and last training session here, and the Nigerian was still talking a lot of nonsense as always.
If you leave him alone, he can talk about it for a day, and sometimes his teammates will get tired of listening to him and scold him in the local Portsmouth dialect, and Etuhu will put his arm around his teammate's shoulders and laugh and say, "Don't think I don't understand!" You're scolding me!! ”
Of course, he really didn't understand, although the young man as a footballer was a little undisciplined and not diligent, but the speed of Etuhu's lightning speed and the embarrassing African dance after the goal remained in Hydward's memory.
"Really?" Ward is a little short-sighted and occasionally wears glasses.
"The dark red one is handsome, and he has a literary atmosphere," Etuhu gave an affirmative answer.
"Then I won't bring it."
After saying that, he took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, "Hey, hey, boss, what do you mean?" "Nigerians are gone.
"I don't believe in your aesthetic"
“……”
Hydward ran to his disciple and rubbed his head vigorously, "Go to Sunderland and do a good job, be diligent, don't be half-dead like that." ”
Etuhu just laughed.
………………
Compared with Etuhu, captain Haim is much quieter, now 30 years old, he joined the booming Chelsea in 07, but unfortunately under the pressure of Terry and Carvalho, he has few opportunities to play, in 08 Manchester City bought the Israeli captain for 5 million, but the deal is just a jump from one pit to another.
After a failed spell, Haim moved to Portsmouth on loan and stayed for three seasons.
Fans here remember Haim who wanted to run laps in the stadium in the offseason in order to stay in shape, but accidentally fell while climbing over the fence.
Remember that in 2010, the team's first financial liquidation, took the initiative to cut the salary of Haim who stayed.
Of course, I also remember that in the 37th round of the Championship, Portsmouth defeated Norwich City 3-2 at home to win the key battle of relegation, and Norwich was directly promoted to the Premier League that season. At the beginning of the game, the fans in the East Stand specially painted a poster with an area of nearly 180 square meters, on which a huge portrait of Haim was printed. After the game, the excited Israelis stood in front of the fans in the East Stand, reluctant to leave for a long time.
The images are like a movie, page by page, the best of times and the worst of times are here, and he wrote this sentence on his Twitter: "Portsmouth and the fans here have never given up on me, even in my worst moments, I will leave the city with love, but I will come back whenever you need to." ”
The fans are emotional, and they've watched Haim grow from loan player to captain, and Portsmouth may have struggled over the past three years, but at least he's an insurmountable mountain over Faton Park.
Selling the captain is not worth advocating, and the impact on the players and fans is also very bad, Arsenal sells the captain every year for the Emirates Stadium, and the veteran is signed once a year, leaving a deep image of injustice, which is a brand that cannot be washed away for many years.
Having not experienced Haim's upbringing in the city, Hydward was a little unable to understand that emotion, but simply thought on a competitive level, and he accepted an offer from the Premier League, believing that he had found a good home for the player. In his mind, the Israeli is physically strong, has excellent headers, and is accurate in his predictions, but he has a habit of wandering and his positional sense is not very good, so he is not an ideal candidate for central defender.
Of course, Haim also understands the current state of the team, and with the help of fans around the world, the financial hole that was out of reach is slowly being filled, and what Portsmouth needs is not for him to stay, but to turn away.
There is no right or wrong in this world, and even more so in the world of football, you have to be professional enough, because only children are right and wrong, and adults only have pros and cons.
The captain fell behind and ran with Margery, who remembered the first time they met, and Margery was skinny and wearing Adidas' old Berserker sneakers.
"Here, my wardrobe will be yours in the future, open it when you go back."
Haim handed over a key with a little yellow rust on it, and the four numbers 3201 were taped around it. He kept a pair of Adidas' latest "Raptors" in his cabinet, which he spent two months' salary to design, a gift that Haim left for his partner.
Margery nodded and took it in his hand, not saying a word.
"Margery, you do a good job, don't be lazy in training after I'm gone, I don't worry about your physical fitness now, but you still have to practice more in physical confrontation, continue to practice, otherwise you can't survive in front of a striker like Drogba."
"There will be no one to protect you in the future," Haim patted his little brother on the shoulder and left silently.
In the past half season, Margery has grown up rapidly by the side of Haim, because the strong and tall Israelis will always be his guardian angels, but the young eagle will need to fly alone one day, and the process will be so fast that he can still think and react.
The one-hour training session was of low intensity, and Hydward announced the end ten minutes early, and then hugged and greeted the departing disciples. It's better to say a little harder every time you say goodbye, say more, maybe the last word, take one more look may be the last one, and in the blink of an eye, the sky here has changed owners.
