Sadio Mane's goal was a beautiful goal, and the sideways volley into the far corner didn't give the goalkeeper any time to react, but what was more beautiful than the goal was the assist, which was a genius strike.

Hydward used the power of the wind to get all the balls to either fly off the line or get to Navas, and Kevin drew inferences almost for a short time, so if the wind could help the underdog defend, then why not use it to attack? Hitting the ball with three points more than usual is blowing the wind back into the field, and the probability of failure is much higher than the probability of success, so Mane, who scored the goal, was excited, it was his first Premier League goal, and De Bruyne was even more excited.

The little guy roared and showed off his excellent muscles in front of the **, while the teammates who came up around him were desperately ravaging his hair. Mane was late to the goal, and De Bruyne shook off everyone from the crowd before turning around and motioning for Mane to come up.

Mane was not polite either, jumped up directly, and was carried on his back by Kevin. They then joined the rest of their team-mates in waving their fists at the Portsmouth fans on the expedition in response to the enduring shouts of the blue stands. Portsmouth has provided a lot of benefits to the travelling fans this season, including free lunches and shuttle buses, and as England's first fan-membership Premier League club, the club has been committed to serving fans since the start of the year, with a 20% reduction in home tickets and a 30% drop in season tickets. On top of that, Portsmouth have also renovated some of the home walls, toilets and seats, which are ultimately due to Icardi's transfer fees.

The good transformation of the club has brought great enthusiasm to the fans, Portsmouth ranked third in the Premier League in the first round of home attendance, behind Manchester City and Arsenal, Hydward received feedback from the stadium staff, there were still a large number of fans at the beginning of the game, and then some gates abandoned the security check, which made many fans without tickets trick into the stadium, so the number of home players in the first round was far more than the statistics.

The ball market is the heartbeat of the club, the number of fans in Portsmouth has reached thousands, and there are not a few Pompey fans wearing raincoats and umbrellas to watch the game, their shouts and roars once suppressed Swansea's diehards, these blue diehards seem to be able to shatter the rain flying in the sky!

…………………

This kind of goal is very fatal, football games are relatively less affected by the environment, football games are generally rain or shine, but when the environment can affect the game, in addition to helplessness, in fact, there are not many ways.

In the second half, Pompey's Legion boldly turned a back four into a back three, taking advantage of the winds and Swansea fighting hard, but their passes could not even get through their own half, and Portsmouth's most simple shot turned into a powerful volley.

It was even more unfortunate that Laudrup was clearly not as clever as Hydeward, he didn't have many options, and even sat on the bench in the final moments of the game and sulked alone.

At the end of the game, all three goals in the second half came in the opposition half, with Sadio Mane netting twice, and Srna and substitute Belotti also scored their first Premier League goals.

……………………

After the win over Swansea, all the games were rescheduled due to windy weather, with the exception of Manchester United and Fulham, Villa and Everton, which were played at the same time. This time the gale even caused a natural disaster in Europe, causing direct economic losses in many places.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Portsmouth, because with two wins in a row and a goal difference, the team has managed to reach the top of the Premier League.

Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 at home to make it two wins in a row as they are second on goal difference one less than Portsmouth, followed by Manchester City in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool and West Brom in a 2-2 draw at Tottenham. At the bottom of the table, Southampton and Aston Villa are in the bottom and second from bottom with two consecutive defeats, while Norwich and Queens Park Rangers are 1-1 each with a point to sit third and fifth from bottom. Tottenham, led by the little magic bird Villas-Boas, is fourth from the bottom with one draw and one loss in two games, and Liverpool and Arsenal have not had a good start and are also in the middle and lower reaches.

Of course, Portsmouth's top-of-the-table experience card lasted only two days, with Chelsea, who started early in the third round, winning 4-2 at home to promoted Maledeen, winning three in a row, and Di Matteo's side were beaten in the warm-up game.

The third round of fixtures then entered the golden month of September, with the spotlight on the two-point Liverpool Arsenal, as Arsene Wenger's side beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield thanks to goals from Prince Porti and Cazorla. Cazorla's threading and strong technical ability seem to make people see Bergkamp's style, and at this time, even the most discerning fans have to admire Wenger's vision, which is a very valuable recruitment. On the other hand, Rodgers' lottery players don't seem to be so lucky, Shahin on loan from Real Madrid has the style of Dortmund, Joe Allen played the whole game, and the performance can only be regarded as mediocre, the fans are not satisfied, but Rodgers swears that Liverpool will soon see how good the Welsh is.

I have to say that the Reds fans over the years have actually been spoiled by Gerrard, but whenever he comes to a midfielder, the requirements for him are to be able to advance, be able to step forward, be able to shoot from a distance, be able to organize, be able to steal, be able to make long passes, be able to dominate the header, and can play seven or eight positions in a season, and it is best to save the Lord at critical moments, and wave his hands to boost morale.

After the win over Swansea, Portsmouth hosted Farmers Fulham on Sunday evening on 1 September.

After the start of the league, the opponents Pompey encountered were not bad, Villa, Swansea, the style of these teams has always been to take the points they should get and stir up the game they should have, but they all planted their heels on a youth army, and the reason is that they don't know Portsmouth too well!

Edward's squad have the talent and potential to be a super-youth group of future stars, and defence-wise, the team reached the FA Cup semi-finals last year, experienced the Premier League level early on, and after a full season of running-in, they are not as weak as many people think. Srna made up for the team's shortcomings at right-back, averaging 60 passes per game, a pass success rate of 93%, key passes of 12, 50 per game, 22 aerial duels, 70% success rate of aerial duels, 37 clearances, 26 tackles, 35 interceptions, such data is extremely terrifying, looking at the whole of Europe, almost exactly the same as Bayern captain Lahm this season's data.

As the saying goes, who gets the best left-back or right back depends entirely on which side Lahm plays, and Srna, who plays well at both ends of the pitch, has become Portsmouth's Lahm.
