Chapter 183: Fighting for the Six Chaos

The second half of the game resumed, and the Hull City players all bowed their heads and looked weak, their anxiety and confusion all hanging on their faces. Head coach Anthony's face was flushed compared to the pale players, and he seemed to be angry, just now he had scolded the players with the hair dryer in the locker room, and the sound was clearly heard by Hydward through both doors.

Those who are familiar with Anthony know that this is a very skilled coach with his own ideas and a set of playing styles, but as Norris said, the team is in a good situation, OK, everything is fine, he can do better than Guardiola, and if there is any problem, the manager will give up his players as soon as possible and push them to the forefront. If I had to describe the mood of the Hull City players at this moment, it would be that the fire was as uncomfortable as eating human secretions.

What happened in the dressing room had a direct impact on the mood of the players on the pitch, with captain Rogge receiving a yellow card in the first half, and at the beginning of the second half he was trying to prevent Mahrez from breaking through behind the pull, although the referee only warned it, but it was a dangerous signal.

You must know that Rogge plays at centre-back, which is the strongest link of Hull City.

Anthony watched with a frown as he watched what was happening, and after a few minutes nothing changed, the players were still running as they had been in the first half, and did not shoot as hard as he had requested, with more dangerous shots.

It's time for a replacement!

He secretly told himself that at this moment, his captain pulled someone, a very unfriendly gesture.

'Hull made their first change of the game, bringing on Rogge and bringing on the number 32 Wilson at wing-back, which is to strengthen the tempo of the attack. Glero was chatting in front of the microphone, and just as he was about to say something, an astonishing scene occurred on the sidelines.

On the field, Rogge raised his hands high to express his incomprehension of being replaced, and asked the referee to confirm it again, and on the other end, Anthony beckoned him to leave the field quickly with a blue face, because the game was still going on. After the Hull City captain confirmed it for the second time, he ripped off the captain's armband and slapped it on the hands of the nearest teammate, deliberately avoiding the coach's outstretched hand with a gloomy face, and walked to the locker room without looking back.

'There's a bit of a conflict between the manager and the captain, which doesn't bode well.

At the same time as Hull City adjusted, Hydward was also adjusting, he was holding a tactical board with a two-color player label attached to it with a magnet, and Ali was standing next to him, saying: "We are now playing a double back square position, although we are now leading by two goals, but there will be a danger of being penetrated at any time, and when you stand in this position, we will also play a small diamond, the midfield does not change the area defense to man marking, free Drinkwater, let him advance, you come to link the midfield......"

Deleari listened attentively, engraved every word the coach had just said in his heart, and whispered a retelling in his mouth, and when the meeting came, he would rearrange his teammates' positions.

A minute later, Pompey's legion called for a substitution, with No.16 Ali replacing Norris, who had scored a goal, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation. "Oh! Attaboy! Glenn, the head of the fan council, slapped his hands very hard, and as far as his eyes could see, Norris's jersey was covered with yellowed dirt and some grass clippings, and his steps were a little weak, which was a desperate look. He turned his gaze to the player again, Norris hugged Ali hard, as if asking for something, and finally patted the kid on the back, and in the 64th minute, the electronic version on the fourth official lit up with a red 25, and the green 16 was flashing, and the two men withdrew each other's eyes Ali rushed into the field!

Captain Margery raced towards Ali to answer the latest instructions from the coaching staff on the sidelines, although no one asked him to do so.

If there was a camera at this moment, maybe Ali would still be able to be photographed wearing a red cape, like a superhero.

In the 69th minute, Lady Luck favored Portsmouth. Drinkwater played the ball up front of Sadio Mane and suddenly had plenty of space to press, allowing the African to pace up with the opposition defenders. Hull defender Amat got closer to the ball and made a sliding tackle to win possession, but his clearance hit the leg of the follow-up Ali, and the ball smashed into his headbone in an unbelievable arc that went just over the head of veteran Brazilian goalkeeper Adriano, who, despite his experience, was to no avail, and Lady Luck favored Ali.

2-0 and 3-0 are two completely different scores, fans who have watched the game must know that 2-0 is the most dangerous score in the world, the story of being reversed can be said for three days and three nights, but 3-0 is different, it is a score that completely kills the game, unless you have a mind full of Istanbul nights.

For the rest of the game, the team played calmly and firmly, and Icardi was desperately trying to defend as he had never done before. A 3-0 win meant 58 points from 38 league games and a top-six finish in the live standings for the first time, just three points behind Middlesbrough and five behind Birmingham, while Hull dropped to ninth and Leicester were held bottom. Portsmouth lost to Birmingham City in the 34th round and lost the chance to compete directly, but Pompey and Middlesbrough will meet in the penultimate round of the league and if neither side is left behind, it will be a battle of the dragons.

At this moment in the Championship, aside from the old boys team Reading is firmly in the first place, Southampton and West Ham United are inseparable for the second position, and the remaining 3-9 places are a pot of porridge, Birmingham, Hull City, Leicester City, Middlesbrough, Watford, Blackpool, Portsmouth are all likely to enter the top six.

Of course, the live table is not really a settled table, with Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Watford all on tomorrow, and if there are no upsets, Portsmouth will only stay in the top six for one night.

The score was finally settled at 3-0, Hull City will return to Yorkshire overnight tonight, through the cold and dark night, how can it be two o'clock in the morning to get back to Hull River, Portsmouth can really kick the young tiger out of the race for Premier League qualification, Antony will have a lot of time to think about his future from the moment he leaves the hall of the press conference.

Headward used the app on his phone to constantly look through the fixtures and standings, when was the last time Portsmouth was hopeful? Perhaps only the most senior fans can answer, it was already 0 o'clock when the team was disbanded and returned to the apartment, he was a little tired, but he was sleepy, the mobile phone light in the dark kept shining on his face, thinking about everything, and Chen Xi was sleeping soundly by his side, like a cute baby.

He pinched his wife's nose to provoke a silent protest from the pillow man, and Hydward smiled and lay down slowly, he couldn't wait to go to Pons training the next morning, and next weekend's game day.
