Hydward put his arm around Ali's shoulder, patted him hard, and smiled so much that everything was like a world away.

This problem kid joined Portsmouth for almost half a season, and everyone clearly remembers Dele when he first arrived here, beating Southampton in the warm-up game, sweeping Reading with two goals in 26 rounds of the league, and he conquered the fans here with his performance in just one week, the media, everyone including his teammates said that he was a genius, and this performance even attracted the attention of the U21 national team manager.

The only thing Ali didn't conquer was head coach ----- Hydeward.

Because of his personality and family, Ali is very competitive, proactive, hard working, and striving for perfection, although he is a gangster, his grades in secondary school are very good, and the local school hopes that he can go to the University of London to study law and become a lawyer in the future.

It's just that such a person always contradicts the referee when he arrives on the court, and always refuses what he thinks is an "unreasonable penalty". As soon as there was a decision that he did not agree with, Ali would wave his arms and theorize with the referee, and after just four league games, he received three yellow cards and a ruby God of War card.

Hydward called him to the sidelines and told him that if he behaved like that, he would be taken off immediately.

From the age of 8, Dele. Ali has always had this problem, and every one of his mentors will indulge players because of his talent, and the same is true for Milton Keynes Dons when he joined the professional team, because Ali always stands out among children his age. If you've seen him play, the coach will keep the players on the pitch if he makes a mistake and then watch the same mistakes repeat themselves over and over again, and the players who are not so good will be replaced immediately if they make the same mistakes.

It's a bad habit created by player development, and Hydward's demands on Ali make it not so easy for players to do.

In the next few league games, Hydward would replace Ali as soon as he saw him make a similar mistake and keep him calm. He hates being substituted so much, and he doesn't like it to happen so often, no player likes to be substituted. Ali took his temper out on his teammates, causing him to be ostracized for a while.

If he wants to play, he has to make up his mind to control his temper!

In the five games since the conversation, he has not scored a single goal or assist, everyone frowned, those good praises began to move away from Ali, and the criticism stirred his mind.

In the 0-2 loss to Birmingham in the 34th round, Ali behaved similarly, Hydward warmed up Lawrence to prepare for his substitution, Ali became very irritable, and he was sent off by the referee with a red card, and his teammates had to play the whole game with one less man.

Hydward didn't talk to Ali right away, as he had done in the past, and his teammates and even himself were disappointed by the behavior. One day later, Ward started a conversation with Ali about it, and the referee thought the player was yelling at him, but it wasn't, and Ali was actually very upset with Hyde because the damn guy kept letting him off.

After a cliché about self-control, Hydward and Ali made a new agreement, and Ward said: As long as you can control your emotions with the big picture in mind, let go of your grip on him.

Many coaches can see the problematic behavior in their players, but they have doubts about replacing them to correct the behavior, and few can recognise the seriousness of the problem and let the players continue to play.

Now is the Championship, if one day comes to a higher level platform, before Ali causes more damage due to his temper, it must be stopped and channeled in time, and the attention in the sub-level game is low, everything is in time.

After the new agreement was agreed, although he occasionally reoffended, the general situation was much better than in the past, but in this way, a talented striker who should have shined in the Championship has been tortured to the point that he has not scored a goal or assist for more than 10 rounds. Ali has changed his words to call mediocrity.

After the game's starting line-up came out, even Portsmouth's die-hard supporter Glero said in the commentary that Alli had lost his starting position.

But it was such a "mediocrity" who had already conquered the fastidious Hydward.

………………

Back to the game, the player who people say "lost status" stared intently at the situation on the field from the first second of the game, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he had a sense of being trusted and recognized by the coach and his teammates, Ali very much hoped that Norris could score, even if it was to replace his position, this is a strange feeling on the football field, this feeling is reflected in the action and expression from the heart.

On the sidelines, Heidward used gestures to tell his players to slow down and look for opportunities not to rush, Hull City started a little conservatively, Anthony is still in stock as a coach, and he found that teams that like to go out and start the first game usually do not have good results against Portsmouth, because there are already a series of teams including Xiaorui, Reading and so on under the four wagons.

Limiting the opposition's upfield was the tone Antony set for the team, so Hull played very lewdly, leaving plenty of space for Portsmouth in central midfield to pass at will. Taking advantage of the numerical advantage in defence, he frequently kept close marks on Mendy and Meunier, so that Hydward's wide cooperation could not play at all.

However, the tiger on the opposite side thought about how good it was, and he didn't expect that this game had risen to the height of being angry for his teammates, and Anthony's conservative style of play just gave the whole Portsmouth team room to feed. So the whole family of Pompey's legion, regardless of whether they usually shoot guns or shoot guns, collectively took out a pot and gave Norris pancakes to eat...

In the first 20 minutes of the opening game, the two sides did not play together at all, Icardi, who is usually used to the arrow, took the initiative to retreat and shrink, creating a good space for teammates to insert back, and the running forwards on both sides made various embarrassing crosses, and Drinkwater in the middle could not be plugged straight but also forced hard, Norris was very flattered.

The last time he played like this was before he was selected for the U-Series national team.

However, this kind of fancy feeding does not have much effect, and it has been said before that Portsmouth is not the kind of team suitable for concentrating the ball on one person, and even if it is concentrated on one person, Norris's individual ability is not enough.

In the 24th minute, after wasting two great chances, Lao Nuo suddenly had a flash of inspiration, since it can't be in the penalty area, why don't I try to shoot a long shot?

“goooooooooooooooooal！！！”

A beautiful arc almost blinded everyone's eyes, and the shot went at a speed of more than 190 kilometers per hour, and the ball did not drop even a little into the top corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper barely reacted.

A year ago, Norris almost helped Hull City reach the final of the promotion play-offs with a similar two-footed goal, and a year later, Tiger fans will have to accept that their children may use this goal to delay the team's promotion dreams for a year.

Norris watched the ball roll in the goal, silent, and in the face of his team-mates who pounced, he folded his hands and faced the direction of the visiting fans----I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend."

Hydward on the sidelines smiled happily, he patted Ali's shoulder, who was also smiling happily, and said very firmly: "Boy, I think you can score today!" ”

In response to the coach is a winning thumbs.
