On the first Friday of September, Portsmouth played their best away from home, beating West Ham United 2-0 in the second half thanks to goals from Sadio Mane and Klose in the second half to reach the third round of the EFL Cup.

After a week's break, the team travelled to take on the Canary Norwich City, and Hydward's team was kept in rotation form. Keylor Navas put in a world-class performance in this game, making seven saves and saving a penalty from Norwich, which became a wall of sighs for the team. In the end, thanks to Srna's long-range strike in the opening stages of the first half, Portsmouth took all three points and completed their second clean sheet of the season in the Premier League.

With 12 points, Portsmouth's top-of-the-table experience card has been renewed for another week, and there is even a tendency to sit more and more stable. Chelsea had 17 shots on goal on the road, three at the post, and were unable to suffer a draw at Queens Park Rangers. The brake caused a rear-end collision in the blue moon as Manchester City missed out on a golden opportunity to overtake Chelsea with a 1-1 draw at Stoke City. Manchester United, who have been far behind, won 4-0 at Old Trafford to win Wigan Athletic and move up to third in the table with a wave of three consecutive wins, crushing their city rivals to the bottom of them.

12，10，9，8； Portsmouth, Chelsea, Manchester United, although also 8 points, but the fourth is not Manchester City, Manchester City's draw not only allowed Ferguson to seize the opportunity, Arsenal swept Southampton 6-1 at home, took points and earned a large wave of goal difference, firmly standing in the position he is most familiar with.

At the end of the standings, Southampton struggled to find a draw after four rounds, with 0 points at the bottom of the relegation zone, and the old friend Mr Atkins' position was in jeopardy, and it was still two to say whether they could survive the South Shore derby in the eighth round. The penultimate finish is still a familiar face, with the three-shot veteran Redding picking up just one draw against Stoke City in the first round. Next up is the financially scarred Queens Park Rangers, who are almost unbelievably fourth from the bottom, with Liverpool, three draws and one defeat just one point above the relegation zone.

Of course, it's still the start of the season, and the Premier League has just begun.

Singing "We are brave Pompey", the team soon ushered in the fifth round of the Premier League, hosting Sunderland, who are fifth from bottom in the game of play. Martin O'Neill's side have long lost sight of those familiar faces, and the players sold by Portsmouth to Black Cats almost didn't get any playing opportunities at this club, and they changed clubs in a hurry and left the top five leagues in a hurry, giving the team a timely halt to the loss. O'Neill is a veteran of the Premier League, and his team is much more stable than his predecessor in terms of squad composition and financial situation.

Compared with Portsmouth's excellent schedule at the beginning of the season, Sunderland can be described as a bad year, the first game is Arsenal, the third round of Liverpool, the fourth round of Swansea, after playing Portsmouth, Manchester City, Chelsea are waiting for them. A bad kick is a seven-round or even eight-round losing streak, so the three draws that O'Neal led his team to win are very convincing.

Sunderland, who were ambitious in this game, even wanted to end Portsmouth's winning streak on the road, they did not play conservatively on the road, and the tactical changes throughout the game simply dazzled Hydward, from 433 to 4222 and then 32212, and even O'Neal's team played an astonishing asymmetrical 2314 before the end, Mendy's wing was stacked with three wingers, and Benjamin's sparse defense was clearly deliberately targeted by the opponent.

Naturally, Portsmouth trailed 2-1 for a full 72 minutes.

But fortunately, in July 2012, Pompey's regiment got a real nobleman on the football field.

Icardi left in a hurry at the start of the season, and that month Hydward felt that Miroslav Klose was definitely capable of competing in the Premier League, and for the rest of the team, Klose's arrival was a bit of an idol, and they read his name with awe. As a 34-year-old veteran, Milo has an astonishing understanding of the coach's intentions, listens carefully to the coaching staff's advice and tactical explanations, and pays full attention to every aspect of training, even down to the smallest detail.

His off-the-ball movement and selection were world-class, and as he fell behind, Klose frequently returned to midfield until he was exhausted, and when he returned to the dressing room, all the coaches and players gave him a standing ovation. Few players can make a huge impact on the team in just two months, and if a player doesn't perform as expected, his idol aura can disappear in two minutes, but Klose seems to have that glory all the time. He's like a natural Pompey player, with great movement and great skills, and he's a great role model for the youngsters.

The team launched a desperate counter-attack in the final 15 minutes of the game, and in the 84th minute, Portsmouth counter-attacked to form a two-on-three formation, Berardi cut inside laterally on the wing, and then scored his first Premier League goal with a right-footed long-range shot when Klose pulled out the space. Just two minutes later, Frerell scored his maiden Premier League goal with a header from Hydward's upfront due to his height advantage.

3-2, 3-2 and comeback, Portsmouth extended their winning streak to six games and the Premier League completed a staggering five-game winning streak. By the end of the game, the frenzied fans were almost ready to rush into the stadium, and the opening five consecutive wins had already equalled the Premier League record in team history, which was nearly broken by Edward after 54 years, and Tyan, who set this record, is already a rotten old man. In the post-match press conference, reporters also stood up and kindly reminded Heidward that if they beat Queen's Park in their next game, they will surpass the team's opening winning streak, and will also equal the club's winning streak, if he can beat Arsenal away in the future...... Heh, he'll be writing a feature story about Portsmouth's prospect of creating the Kaiserslautern miracle.

When the team is on the track of victory, Ward feels like he can crush all the enemies at this moment, which is the huge inertia that victory brings!

14 goals in 5 rounds, the first offensive firepower in the Premier League, and these 14 goals are evenly distributed among 8 people. It's hard to see such a scene in today's Premier League, most of the firepower of various clubs is focused on star players, Manchester United's Van Persie ranks first in the scorer list with 7 goals in 4 rounds, and Swansea's Michu is close behind with 5 goals in 4 rounds, this young man only hasn't opened the pot on Portsmouth, and then Suarez, Aguero, Hazard, Bale and so on.

The performances of these players are very convincing because you can be sure that they will reach a certain height. Is there a player like Portsmouth? England national team coach Roy Hodgson seems to know. He asked after the game about Frere, who scored the winning goal, and it was a surprise that Frerell had never been favored by any of the top 1 teams and now had a tendency to skip all the previous steps. His height jumped too fast, and at the age of 20, he was still trying to grow hard, but he had a problem with his knee joint. Ward had to advise him to be careful in training and save some strength for the official competition, where he could grow to 1.90m.

One is one meter seven, one is one meter nine? How weird is it to look at such a back-back partner.

"He's a pretty confident guy," Hydward replied simply, but to Hodgson's satisfaction. It's too early for Freire and the national team to know every local kid who makes it to Portsmouth's starting line-up, and when they graduate from the academy system or the development squad, he's sure he knows everything about their temperament, characteristics and abilities.
