Chapter 34: Go Back to Sleep
The world's sub-leagues are unlikely to receive much attention, and the same applies in the UK. As you can see from the number of media before and after the game, who has the heart to cover a Championship game apart from the local media of the home and away teams?
Sky Sports has bought out broadcasts of leagues and cups at all levels in the UK, mainly in the Premier League, but occasionally in the Championship, picking out a game for live broadcast in each round.
Glero was assigned to broadcast Portsmouth's Championship clash against Nottingham Forest, leaving him alone without a partner.
Three days earlier, he had broadcast a Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in Spain, and Jose Mourinho couldn't have imagined how boring the British media would be without the "special one". When Magic Bird took over as Real Madrid manager in 2010, Glero felt it was one of the most interesting appointments in football, and it was unthinkable how such a combination would affect the style of play, the management of the team and even the club's philosophy. Coaches who work for Real Madrid often have to succumb to Real Madrid's philosophy: the Galacticos style, but José's personal style is clearly at odds with that.
The "Jose Galaxy Battleship" was not to be missed, Real Madrid played a very effective counter-attack at home, and Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to beat Atletico Madrid 4-1.
Glero, who returned to England at two o'clock last night, came non-stop in the afternoon to explain the Championship, and now he is a little sleepy.
…
At the start of the game, this season's Pompeo team is facing great relegation pressure due to a financial crisis, with only 12 points after 16 rounds, ranking last in the Championship. There is already a full nine points of Coventry City in the bottom four. ”
In this game, Glero didn't do any pre-game preparation, all of it was used to make up for sleep, and the so-called commentary was just a script, and he could blow it for 90 minutes by looking at the player list. Portsmouth, after all, this team has not been out of the Premier League for a long time, Nottingham Forest is better told, the story of legendary coach Brian Clough leading Forest to win the European Champions League is still being told, and the famous saying: "We proved that Roma can be built in a day." ”
The development of the game did not come as expected, and the "weak" Pompey was suppressed in his own penalty area.
No one scored in the first 25 minutes of the game, and it was a stalemate.
It's a stalemate for the Forest team and they want to try to break it. But for Portsmouth, that's to be expected.
The cheers on the pitch were endless, and the team brought home only one point of disappointment from three away games; It's helpless, but fortunately, Faton Park didn't show up "It's been an excuse for three years, and now it's still a lie, get out of Fudge." Such a slogan.
More than 20 years ago, legends such as Alex Ferguson also had a class crisis, and this slogan at Old Trafford is still unforgettable. Of course, these are all off-topic.
If the home team can't perform well, it is estimated that Hydward will hear the sound of "class" after the game, and fans will always see the results after the change of manager. In the press conference of the past two days, there was this maotou, and the reporters' questions were more specialized than the other, and Walker's face was not very good-looking every time he came back.
Ward has been standing on the sidelines and directing until now.
"Haim! Haim! "Hydward was yelling and yelling.
As soon as the captain turned around, he scolded a little viciously: "Where are you looking? ”
Whenever a player is seen to be distracted or slightly out of position, Ward will scold. It's especially important to stay focused defensively against passing teams, as chances are always created by their careless passes. Haim is really good at quality, but he has a bit of a problem with his ability to concentrate on the game, and sometimes his mind wanders uncontrollably. If the opponent is a pressing team, the captain can be like a hanger, but if he boils a frog in warm water, he will fall asleep on the court.
Steve clearly knows his former apprentices well, and the old fox, despite his questionable character, has a very good tactical sensitivity, and on the pitch Nottingham Forest took over the ball from Portsmouth and looked for a goal.
"Morgan passes forward, Chris Cohen, Paul Anderson, Levi, Jonathan from Portsmouth comes up to mark and the ball goes back......"
At the same time, Hydward is like a hunter who carefully lays out his traps, a strategy that is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He cut three lines of defense in the 30-metre area of the pitch, and when the ball was passed freely on the outside, but whenever someone entered the backcourt area, he was stared at if he didn't say anything.
He's going to turn Nottingham Forest's passing into a passing game.
……
In the 36th minute, Nottingham Forest's right midfielder Liszt grabbed the Portsmouth defensive area to make substitutions, and without looking at the goal, he directly hit through two defensive lines.
"Red Forest, Wales international Robert Shawn has a beautiful territory, Haim is distracted and he is a step late, haha, this is a good opportunity...... Oh! That's a little bit worse. Although the game was not exciting, Glero remained focused, and his mouth spoke like bullets.
Edward's brows furrowed into an "X", thanks to Robert Shaun, a striker, who couldn't shoot well, and he hit high in front of the goal, as long as the ball hit the goal frame, he had a chance to score, and Dave didn't have such a quick reaction speed.
Even if football is planned in detail, there will always be accidents. The plan has been successful so far, but it still misses Haim.
"Portsmouth asked for a substitution...... Oh my God, 37 minutes captain Haim was replaced, the Israelis are the best players of the Pompeo army, are they injured? Not really. What does head coach Walker think? Surrendered? Was he driven crazy by the team's losing streak? ”
The fans in the stands were in an uproar, and the cheers suddenly became chaotic.
Hydward stood next to the fourth official and looked directly at Haim who was not far from the goal, and the message in his eyes was "That's right!" It's you! ”
His face was pale, his hair stood on end, his fists clenched, and he walked to the sidelines in disbelief. The players were stunned, and so were the Nottingham Forest players.
Glero was a little excited and shouted into the microphone: "Is this going to beat up the head coach?" Come on......"
Hydward remained calm in the eyes of the Israelis, and he saw anger in them; Humiliation, followed by apprehension, and finally a little fear.
Haim asked, "Boss, why?" ”
Ward was not ready to answer the question, ripped off the captain's armband that he was wrapping around his arm, and said in a calm tone: "You are still my core, but go back to the dressing room and sleep in this game." ”
Hydward beckoned Ryan Williams, who was only 17 years old full-back, and fastened the captain's armband to his arm, saying, "Here you go." ”
"You stare at Robert Sean without a single step, nothing else, on!"
He patted Ryan Williams on the ass and pushed the player onto the pitch like a duck on the shelf.
……
Haim stood dumbfounded in the wind and watched the manager walk away, at a loss for what to do.
