Chapter 301: Mask

Three days after the incident, Portsmouth hosted Norwich City, and Hydward still used the trident combination of Klose, Sadio Mane and Belotti in this game, and the much-watched Rudiger continued to sit on the bench for this game, and he was replaced by Mustafi. Mustafi has yet to start in the league this season, with more of him appearing in cup competitions or reserve leagues.

Just eight minutes into the game, Portsmouth took the lead, Belotti took the ball on the right and shook off the defender and crossed the ball with his right foot to the back post, Norwich left-back Gallido seemed to have a short circuit in his head, he didn't observe Klose swimming behind him, and Milo easily slotted the ball into 1-0.

After the scoreline changed, Norwich played more targeted, and because of the characteristics of Mustafi, Srna was deployed on the left, and Marcos Alonso was brought on the right side, and Norwich attacked him behind him. In the 18th minute, goalkeeper Declan made a big effort and the ball flew across the pitch to find striker Harry Kane, who was on loan at Norwich City for half a season, and the striker did not waste this golden opportunity and went straight into the box. The Portsmouth defence was the first to create an offside position, but it was a pity that Marcos dragged on and Kane broke through Keylor Navas from a tight angle.

The game's commentary mentions an interesting statistic that Harry, a future star, has scored seven goals in six appearances against Portsmouth, including a hat-trick, and is known as the best killer for Pompey's legion.

Four minutes later, it was Kane who drove in from midfield to Marcos, who couldn't help but was blocked by Navas. Keylor Navas' save was a full house as he stretched wide and narrowly flicked the ball out with a fish-to-fish leap. Kane's two attacks highlighted the team's defensive system problems, and the stadiumside cameras also showed Rudiger on a couple of occasions.

In the 40th minute, the score changed again, and English magician Joe Cole, who was on loan from Liverpool, took advantage of a corner kick to score his first goal for his new club and put the score 2-1 up.

If nothing else, Norwich's club, which has been battling relegation every year, has developed their own unique rules of survival, and his loan team has made great achievements for the Canaries every season, and Heidward's squad is not to be underestimated, either former internationals or old internationals. This winter's Premier League seems to be very gentle, 2/3 of the time has passed, but there is not a single transfer of enough weight, and the relegation team has not seen a wave of acquisitions as in previous years, you must know that at this time last year, Sunderland paid more than 40 million euros to buy 11 players.

Last season's winter transfer bid was Newcastle's Cisse, a record that has been broken by Liverpool when they took Sturridge from Chelsea for 15 million, and it would not have been for England's small substitute for such a price. At the same time, after many years of wandering, the former genius Shaheen has returned to his old club Dortmund.

The Blues have not been quiet this winter, with Chelsea becoming the first defending champions to fail to qualify from the group due to their poor results in both the league and the Champions League, and in the face of such humiliation, owner Abou has been relentless in branding a butcher's knife at Di Matteo, the Chelsea Champions League legend who came to an end with less than 15 games after signing a new contract. Benitez put out the fire until the end of the season, and no one expected that Tottenham's Hotspur Villas-Boas was still holding on for most of the season, and the Blues' Champions League-winning coach had already said byebye.

In the second half, it rained heavily and the waterproofing system at Farton Park was still from more than 60 years ago, so much so that the turf of the stadium was flooded and the game was interrupted for almost an hour.

Heidward made a series of changes at half-time, bringing on Toni Rudiger for the mid-course Mustafi and De Leari for Kevin de Bruyne, and the idea of a more direct kick was self-evident. Toni Rudiger looked smug and Portsmouth's backline was reverted to its original form.

In the 54th minute, Harry Kane fired a spectacular shot with his heel in the box, and Rudiger moved his feet early to clear the ball perfectly on the goal-line. An inadvertent moment of the TV show left a meaningful footage, with Hydward not watching the performance of the players on the pitch, and at this moment he was holding a tactical manual to teach Mustafi a lesson. The player with the deepest contradiction between Portsmouth and Hydward should be Mustafi, a player with outstanding talent and personality, the media has reported more than once that this player who believes in *** coaching will leave this club soon, we often say that it is usually not his ability that determines a person's fate, but his choice, Schedland did not know, he did not leave, but decided to stay and prove the coach wrong, which just made Hydward regain respect for the player.

At the same time, a match was being played in the VIP box in the spectator box, with Tom meeting with Chelsea's negotiators today at Heideward's request to negotiate a concrete offer.

……………

"The player is still playing the ball desperately downstairs and his club is going to sell him," the Chelsea negotiator shook his head and signed on a piece of paper, "what an irony"

Tom ignored the other party's sentiments, took the contract details and looked at them specifically, subject to the PPPT bill, the Blues gave money far less than in previous seasons, "If you can't solve the problem, you will be a problem", he said leisurely as he looked at Rudiger on the pitch.

"A 20-year-old Premier League main central defender, a German genius, has a bright future, as long as it is more than 10 million, you make a lot of money." Tom slapped the paper on the chest of the Chelsea representative and said with a smile.

The two shook hands, "In more than a year, I have earned more than 70 times, and you only spent 150,000 euros to pry him away from the Dortmund academy, it's okay." Chelsea looked at the autograph and continued: 'We may see each other again, Benitez will not like him with our experience, Rudiger may come back on loan, see what a good business it is, you get the money and maybe the people will still be yours. ”

Under the stands, Ali, who was substituted on the field, received a wonderful pass from Goretzka and broke the deadlock again with a long-range shot, and everyone stood up and cheered, including Tom, "You guys change clubs and send him out on loan, Hydward said he was not interested." ”

Chelsea's delegates smiled helplessly, it seems that the news of Antonio Rudiger's reconciliation with the team is nothing more than a smokescreen to ease the situation, Portsmouth has sentenced the player to a suspended death sentence from the beginning, and Edward is stronger than many people think.

Of course Chelsea are not disappointed, they are the winning side. Soon on the field, Dele Ali scored again, playing a small arc in the penalty area on the right side, 3-2, Portsmouth overtook the score. Their faces have become less pretty, and if Pompey's army ends a two-round winless streak, it seems that they will be stable in the top three again!

"Everybody wears a mask, and when you take off his mask, do you ever think about it...... After the mask, or the mask? Tom looked at Hydeward, who was calmly commanding the team, and said meaningfully. 2k reading web
