(At the end of the previous chapter, there should be about ten minutes left in the game, which has been revised)

Every substitution in a football game is a break of the balance of the field, and the most intuitive thing is nothing more than to release three signals, strengthen the attack, strengthen the defense, and maintain the status quo.

Strengthening the offense, replacing the defenders, putting the offensive players on the line, strengthening the defense, is the reversal of the above. Keep the status quo and find a player of a similar type to make the substitution.

At this point in the game, the choice of the head coach is particularly important, will Heidward want to hold on to that point, or will he go for a three-pointer?

He's caught up in a battle between heaven and man, which is acceptable, but not quenching the thirst of Portsmouth today.

As the only team in the Championship to have a single-digit number points, a win would bring the points to 11, leaving them with only two points from the bottom.

Do you want to do it?

Ward only thought for three seconds,! On the one hand, the attacking genes in the bones are at work, and on the other hand, Portsmouth's personnel are not organized, and if the league continues in the second half of the year, the more unfavorable it will be.

As soon as the flag was unfurled, No. 32 Norris went down, and No. 22 Ricardo went up.

No. 32 Norris, who plays in midfield, is Jonathan's partner in the midfield position. They have played together in the last two rounds, with Norris snatching the original starting XI from Ricciardo.

Jonathan's defensive midfielder template, current ability 121 potential 136, specific to specific attributes, the best is marking, there are 16 points. He has 13 steals and 14 fitness, which is a recent increase of 0.5 in his attributes.

Physical fitness is the easiest to rise and the easiest to fall of all attributes, and it fluctuates greatly. The most difficult thing to rise is the free kick, a few weeks and a month, hard practice may rise by a few points.

Norris is also a midfield template, but his 125 ability is more than half crooked, what dribbling is a little up, a corner kick is a little up, and the shooting is also a little more, so the ability value is really not enough to spend. The only advantage is that the mental realm concentration has 17 points, which is the highest in the team.

……

Ricciardo's presence gave Portsmouth a shot in the arm, and the signal was clear: attack, get the three points!

Just fooled Paul, now play for real!

At this stage of the game, Andrews retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and with the advantage of speed, he went all the way into the penalty area, but the ball was blocked in the end.

Corner kick from Ipswich Town.

As Roye prepared to take a corner, Ricardo drew two circles around his waist at the captain. Meaning: "All in position, ready to fight back".

In addition to some general gestures on the football field, such as injury substitutions, etc., the team usually has its own signals, just like the 007 joint.

Corners are usually good opportunities for counter-attacks......

The captain knew, the whole team knew, someone looked at the opposite half and found that the opposite midfield was very empty, and almost everyone pressed up. There were only two full-backs and a goalkeeper left, and I don't know if it was arranged by the coach or if the players wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to overtake the score.

It was indeed a good opportunity for Portsmouth to fight back.

……

After the corner, it landed a little deep, crossed the goal and headed towards the back post. Dave was a husband and wife, and yelled all his life: "My !! ”

He then leaped high and stretched out his long arms to pluck the ball straight away, leaving Ipswich without giving Ipswich a chance to flank the other post.

Dave may be the reason for playing too much poker, and he has a very good hand shape, almost no ball that he can't catch, but he is a little slower to react as a goalkeeper.

But this time he caught the ball, and he was not slow to react, and looked up to find Ricardo.

Ricciardo was just outside the box, a little further from the top of the arc, and it was a gap with not a single Ipswich player around.

Dave didn't have time to run forward, and if he had gotten around the group for too long, the gap might have disappeared. So he threw the ball directly through a wall.

"Then !!"

Ricciardo's potential is as high as 165, which is two points lower than Margery, but unfortunately he has long since lost his second youth to pursue his former dream. It's just the skill of stopping and buttoning the chest, and I can vaguely recall what I looked like back then.

He knocked the ball sideways to Danny at left-back and ran forward quickly.

Danny is fast, but he was bullied by Cresswell a lot today, and he has long lost the heart to rush with the ball.

Straight along the side to Etuhu, who has moved to his side.

Etuhu scored a goal today and his confidence was in full swing, and he followed the ball with a kick to the middle and strode forward.

Etuhu cut inside with the ball and Portsmouth had a great chance to counter-attack.

Collins, the Wales international, was by no means undeserved, sticking fast and blocking in front of him, forcing his pace to drop again and again.

"Pass!"

Thinking about how to be a good Nigerian, he turned his head and saw Ricardo, who quickly picked up.

It was another cross, and although Etuhu was late before the game and made Hydward hold a grudge until now, he was still reliable at the crucial moment. After he finished passing the ball, it was not over, and he directly made a posture to insert behind the enemy, attracting Collins's attention.

At this time, it has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the enemy, the famous "Piero area" in world football.

Unfortunately, the ball was a little too big, and instead of rolling straight ahead, it went behind him, and Ricardo, who was running forward, had to stop.

Walker on the bench said "oops", everyone stopped and counterattacked, how to fight?

Cresswell was two steps away from getting back into place, silently estimating the direction and gap of the ball's roll, and shoveled his feet off the ground.

Ricardo took half a step to the football, flicked his right leg, and his body accompanied by a turn, making the enemy's tackle completely useless.

"Pretty !!"

Marseille maneuvered, and Hydward was also excited, and the offensive genes in his bones were ignited.

Lawrence doesn't tell nonsense, the whole team knows the Brazilian best is him, although he played a backward striker today, but the lag is also a striker!

Don't take bean bags for dry food, and village chiefs for cadres.

The Irishman shook off the centre-backs who surrounded him and volleyed the ball over from Ricciardo.

The Ipswich goalkeeper blocked the near corner and the ball headed straight for the far corner.

There was a loud bang, the column and the beam trembled three times, and the ball reluctantly bounced back.

…………

…………

The tractor boys were shocked into a cold sweat, and the ball was kicked off the sideline by Cresswell, who got up, and the huge attack came to an abrupt end.

The British boys, who were more active in the second half, were clearly irritated by Portsmouth's actions.

Especially the Brazilian named Ricardo, in the last seven or eight minutes, Criswell, who seemed to be physically inexhaustible, brought the ball to the middle, stepped on the ball with his right foot and rotated, and a set of Cruyff turned more chic and stretched.

It was Ricardo who was passed.

The defensive hardness in the middle dropped geometrically as the midfield was passed, the boy went straight through, and Andrews got the ball.

Another Irishman almost replicated his goal into Arsenal in the final three minutes of the game, and Margery, who had a cramp in his right foot, was powerless to block.

The ball crossed his head a second time and into the back of the net behind him.

Football is like that, one second heaven, one second hell.
