The referee at the far end was urging the kick-off, and Pierce didn't really hear what Hydward was saying.

At half-time he said he was going to beat Manchester United into a sieve. When it came to the game, Portsmouth struggled under strong pressure from their opponents, especially after Carrick came on, United had a fairly stable point in the middle, and Patrice Evra's side was constantly beaten again. The pressure on right wing-back Williams is mounting, forcing Etuhu in the attacking triangle to keep coming back. The farther he gets from goal, the smaller his role becomes. Ferguson's substitutions do have the effect of turning decay into magic, and there is also a tendency for young players who are not performing well on the pitch of Manchester United to be activated.

Portsmouth's attack had to improve as he had to keep the opposition's edge back into midfield and United's back line pressed high up, but Edward's side couldn't do anything from behind them. Carrick was firmly in control of possession, and although United were not as gorgeous as Barcelona, they were skilled in all kinds of small combinations and teamwork in a small area.

Hydward finally made a substitution, with Lukvaney coming on in place of Lawrence in the 73rd minute and Schneider, the little prince, in a cross for Marco. The Irishman didn't make much sense to play as a delayed striker at the moment, and his link with the midfield was completely severed by Phil Jones, who didn't even touch a ball for about six or seven minutes. Luke is a tall player who is a fulcrum in the frontcourt, and secondly, he is completely unsparing in defending and is more valuable in sweeping in the frontcourt. Marco, a point-grabbing winger, used up a lot of energy in the first half, and in the second half he played more as a full-back to help defend the right side of the attack. He has no means to threaten the opposition penalty area, and it would be better to use Schneider's crosses from any angle on the flanks than to do so.

Portsmouth ran out of three substitutions, and Hydward took a deep look at Ferguson, who was still calm not far away. The contempt for Portsmouth will inevitably come at a price, the old man didn't even understand what the characteristics of his main force were, and he would only be more confused about the replacement that Hydward replaced.

……

'Lawrence was replaced, and the Irish striker has been in fine form since his new boss took over, now scoring at Old Trafford. It was a big step in his career, and the Portsmouth Expedition fans gave him applause and singing. ”

Glero has done his homework this time around, and he has looked into the Championship team's record recently, but to his confusion, Portsmouth seems to have two managers. The FA's registration list says Walker, but fans will call him Coach Hydward. Glero wasn't stupid enough to say this during the commentary, but it really piqued his curiosity.

'Lukwani obviously came up with the manager's orders, and he was directing his team-mates to get back on their feet. Oh my God, centre-back Haym was put up in the attack!! ”

……

Alex Ferguson also got up from the bench and the centre-back played centre-forward? He took a deep look at the young man next door, it was a rather bold decision, very bold.

Hydward didn't think it was bold, he was bullying Lord Fernandes for not having seen Portsmouth's match against Doncaster. There is a precedent for Haim's head and his sensitivity to where the ball lands, and if the old man had known, he would not have been able to sit as firmly as he is now.

Jonathan was brought back to play as an interception-type centre-back, and Carrick was left unguarded. Even Pierce was deployed at centre-back, playing with Margery to fill in and assist the defence. In this way, Portsmouth completely abandoned the vast space in midfield and gave it all to Manchester United, and the 25-metre area at the back was piled up with iron buckets.

Lord Fu pushed his glasses and whispered to his assistant. He actually doesn't like to wear glasses, but when he gets old, he really can't see every move on the field of play a lot of times.

He had anticipated Portsmouth's bucket formation, which is why Gibson was kept on the pitch. Gibson's best shot from the youth team was long-range shooting, and he claims to have a scope on his feet. The sharp weapon of breaking the iron bucket formation, one is the set piece; The second is long-range shooting, Manchester United has two big sniper rifles on the field, and Portsmouth will never be better.

Both coaches had their own agendas, and they endured silence for the last twenty minutes.

Rooney used his strong body to fend off Jonathan, dodging and moving in a very small area. Transitioning from right foot to left foot, he feigned to shoot, bobbed Pierce for a moment, then returned to his right foot with a dunk and shot hard.

After seeing Pierce being shaken away, Margery made a decisive tackle, and the ball was shoveled out of the bottom line to form a corner.

Rooney is physical, well-rounded, impactful, and has few weaknesses other than a header. If Carrick is at the back to put United down roots, then Wayne Rooney is in midfield, forming a stable point of possession.

Two minutes later, Lu Xiaopang attacked again. In a more unreasonable way, this time Jonathan, who was ready for a physical confrontation, was not easily knocked away, and he pestered Rooney and waited for his team-mate to break the ball. Pierce went to help defend and rob, but Rooney, who had not conceded the ball yet, actually knocked it with his heel, and the football flew into the air, and he completed a pick with a header.

"Wayne Rooney, quite a beautiful person! He's going to shoot!! …… Can we cheer for him? ……… Come ........."

Only the same scene was repeated again, when Margery smashed the ball half a step ahead of the England captain after completing a pass. Rooney cleverly followed Margery's foot and fell into the box. However, today's referee did not give Manchester United much face, and he raised his hand to signal Rooney to get up, which was not a foul.

The England captain muttered two sentences in dissatisfaction, but still got up, he really tripped up, but this level really didn't fall down, he had an acting element in it.

Ferguson frowned, this way of setting up a defensive line behind the centre-backs has not been common in recent years, and many people are used to calling such players scavengers. In this day and age, only the old-fashioned Italian coaches are still obsessed with this outdated tactical setup.

'Phelan, let Martin take a look at that centre-back at Portsmouth.'

Ferran is Ferguson's current assistant coach and the successor to former assistant coach Queiroz, and he can feel that although Ferguson is frowning, he is attracted to the young man named Margery.

They were still exchanging details, and the next second there was a dangerous siren at Old Trafford.

Margery actually made a tackle just as Wayne Rooney was about to dribble, and he used his right foot to complete a long pass of more than 60 metres before United counter-attacked on the spot. Schneider won the ball on the flank, and United's full-backs leaned in and quickly latched on to block the line of unders and in-cuts. This is his tactic against Marko, who is very dangerous when he breaks through quickly, and he takes it for granted that this is a guy with the same characteristics.

Schneider smiled, Manchester United didn't know how to defend him, he didn't have the speed or the skills, but he crossed awesomely.

He didn't make any adjustments, and used the outside instep to arc the ball. Most people use the inside instep for crosses, but Schneider has his own secret recipe, he likes to use the outside instep, so the ball will spin weirdly when kicked.

Phil Jones was on the back line, jumping high, but there was no clear touch coming from his head.

Not good!!!

"Phil Jones is on top! The ball was a lot slower than he expected...... God, this ball barely spins, ghost? ”

Jones was falling, and Haim was just jumping up when he smashed the ball into David De Gea's goal! Such a ball, even if he is possessed by the gods, he can't save it.

'Portsmouth scored the goal!! Can I say it's over? With three goals down in the final ten minutes, the brave Pompeo army reached the next round of the FA Cup, where they eliminated Manchester United! ”

After the goal, Glero was even more hysterical, and he didn't care about the feelings of the United fans at all.
