Alain and Etuhu took a taxi and followed them all the way to Portman Road, but Hydward didn't give any chance to explain and sent them to dinner with the group.

Alain frequently looked at the boss who walked at the end of the line, his eyes full of fear. The scene of being thrown by the bus makes me feel palpitating when I think about it now.

Etuhu leaned behind, enthusiastically wanting to invite the coach to dinner, and people's perception of things is completely different depending on their living circumstances.

"I'll let you go with a goal tonight."

Ward, completely immune to Nigerian hospitality, spoke in a tone of nonchalance, skimming the price list in the shop from time to time.

The city of Ipswich is quite famous for its British barbecue, as is this club.

The team was nicknamed "The Tractor Boys", and many British teams would also call them a very nasty nickname, "Hillbilly", which was a nod to Ipswich's agricultural background.

However, the aroma of the meat skewers grilled by the "hillbilly" can be smelled from two streets away.

"Give me twenty strings."

Ricardo, the team's most famous foodie, couldn't hold back his appetite and asked for twenty of them very proudly.

Ward and his front waist looked at each other and smiled, showing a tacit smile that foodies understand.

"Thank you"

Naturally, Hydward took the skewers from his boss and motioned for Ricciardo to pay. How can there be a reason for the boss to pay for taking the younger brother out shopping, but Etuhu can't pay for this money, but Ricardo can.

The Brazilian is very crisp, and the euro in his hand is crackling, after all, it is rare to show his financial strength in front of the coach.

"Get me two bottles of that juice too."

Beer is not daring to order, juice is still ok.

The bag that Hydward was holding in his hand didn't mean to open at all, and Ricardo's outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air, dumbfounded.

Boss, you don't have to eat alone!

"Ricardo, for the sake of you inviting me to Ipswich barbecue, I'll also treat you to lunch."

。。。

When did Lao Tzu invite you to eat? That's for myself!!

He kept complaining in his heart, and even scolded his mother, but he couldn't say a word in his mouth.

Today's game is in the afternoon, at four o'clock. Where would Hydward allow players to eat such a thing as barbecue, such a heavy smell of spices, all from the stomach when running, mixed with stomach acid, it is fortunate that you can not vomit on the field, how can you have the heart to play.

……

Ricardo looked at the lunch box in his hand with mixed feelings, about six or seven pieces of beef boiled in salted water, spinach scalded in water, and cabbage fried in olive oil, green and white flowers made people unable to whet their appetite.

By the way, there is a box of mashed potatoes on the table.

The players watched the boss nibble on fragrant meat skewers, and their saliva was about to flow all over the ground.

Ricciardo noticed a circle of teammates' malicious eyes and buried his face in the rice bowl. The coach said that the skewers in his hand were asked by Ricardo.

He misses Master Yang Dianqiu's face very much now, he really admires the chef here for being able to cook the players' meals so unpalatable, and he really should let Master Yang teach them how to behave.

"Win the game, let Alain and Etuhu ask everyone to."

Hydward made an inopportune remark when everyone hated lunch.

It's not him who is the coach who is sorry for the two of them who are late, but all the teammates, and Ward wants to establish this concept for them.

"Good!!"

With the support of the barbecue, the lunch suddenly became less unpalatable.

…………

…………

There was still little interest in this game, even if Andrews went straight for the top scorer.

In the Championship, Portman Road is the largest in the east of England and can accommodate close to 33,000 people. It's just that the market in Suffolk isn't enough to fill it, and large swathes of the stands are empty, with only the die-hard South Stand still in a frenzy.

The worst area on the football field is behind the goals on both sides, one south and one north. Most die-hard fans in Europe will choose the north or south region in order to show their loyalty to the team, which means that you see we will still fight with you in the worst place.

The home team is in the south, and the visiting fans are naturally placed in the north, with Portsmouth having just won in the last round of the Championship with 2,000 men in the Championship, and the blue and white of the north stand contrasted with the blue of the home team.

In the fifth minute of the opening game, Ipswich, who had the power of the home field, took the lead. On the right, Rexville crossed the ball from a 45° degree and Andrews, who was not very tall, headed the ball over Margri's head, just wide of the right-hand post.

Cresswell, just 21 years old, is a member of the future England squad at left-back.

His characteristics are balanced, his left and right feet are very good, his speed, his body, and his defense are not outstanding, but they are not bad.

The ball had just been tapped close to his feet when Cresswell cut inside with his right foot, and then the ball was adjusted to his left foot to deliver a quality cross.

In the 10th minute, after Andrews got rid of Jonathan's defense in the middle of the midfield, he pulled out his foot from outside the penalty area, and Dave made a save and then grabbed it back.

Just three minutes later, Ipswich midfielder Royer sent in a long ball and Margery rose to the top and Andrews' striker partner Jogana followed with a volley that flew away.

Portsmouth struggled entirely with the storm of their opponents, with Paul Jewell's veteran squad in the lead, and the youngsters clearly putting their own pace in play.

In the 29th minute, Royer sent a lethal through ball and Andrews used his speed to force Margery and finish a tackle in front of goal that went over the crossbar.

Jewell smashed a bottle of mineral water on the ground to show his displeasure with his team's attack.

How can you satisfy the coach if it doesn't rain with just thunder, although the players are doing well.

This is the best time for the three-board axe to bring down Portsmouth, and the sooner the goal, the better it will be for Ipswich, otherwise it will be a dream of the night.

Paul is well aware of this, and Portsmouth's performance in the last game showed that their defensive motivation has changed a lot, and when they react and become more solid, it will be really difficult to do at that time.

England midfielder Royer was the heart of the Leeds United youth team at the turn of the century. In the Champions League, there was a good show of facing Milan, Barcelona, and Anderlecht scoring key goals in a row. Leeds United reached the last four of the Champions League and he was the team's favourite for the second year in a row.

It was just that he made the biggest mistake of his career when he and his friends got drunk and they teamed up to beat up a young Asian American. It was this incident that brought his reputation to the bottom, and at the same time, a serious bare foot injury forced Roye to say goodbye to football for a short time, and his competitive form was not as good as before.

Time gradually took away his youthful frivolity, and slowly precipitated his self-knowledge.

In the 37th minute, Royer took a free kick that was not too good in a good position, the ball went around the wall and hung in the upper right corner, Ipswich 1:0 Portsmouth!

The veteran slapped his chest at the stands and hugged his teammates without any overreaction.

Hydward's brow furrowed into the word "Chuan", and Roye taught him a truth, you can't take any opponent lightly, even if he is 35 years old.
