Margery was surrounded by that suffocating loneliness, Suarez came to him, and the Uruguayan who scored twice was voted MVP of the game, at this time he took off his No. 7 shirt and wore a white vest, he knew there was nothing to say, Liverpool won and Portsmouth lost. Suarez rested his hand on Margery's head for a few seconds, looked down and put his hand there, then the two exchanged jerseys and shook hands and left, not saying a word.

Margery walked alone towards the dressing room, Liverpool captain Gerrard also ran over, comforting: "Boy, I understand your feelings, but forget him" and then patted him on the shoulder and turned away, respecting the opponent, respecting the game, the leading scorer and team spirit of the Reds have shown their outstanding professionalism, of course, for Margery, if there is a mirror at this time, he must be pale and in a hurry.

A few minutes later, the Margery Song resounded in the stands, and Portsmouth's eight-game winning streak, which had come to an abrupt end to a months-long unbeaten run, hung his head and suddenly felt unworthy of the song.

Last year, when Pompey's legion needed a win the most, and his mistake cost the team a home defeat to Ipswich, the fans said: "Margere, you are our hope, you are our future". At Faton Park, when the team needed a win to reach the final to clear the gloom of the whole year, it was him again, a fatal mistake, a fatal slip.

Only this time there was not a single tear on his face.

Hydward came over and called everyone in the team, Margery hid in the corner, he saw many people with tears in their eyes, Mahrez who fought to cramps, Icardi who scored two goals, Kante who fought with Gerrard for the whole game, he was the only one.

Ward began his speech: "You've done your best, the whole league, the whole cup, we've had an incredible journey, look up, okay? ”

Portsmouth still have a few tough games to play in the future, so this is not the time to be demoralized, he continued: "We fought hard, you look at the score, 2-3, shots on goal 19-14 We fought until the last one out, we didn't give up, that's our spirit, that's our spirit! If I end up shedding tears, the only reason can only be that this is my last game as your coach, and even then I will go back with one thing, and the coaching staff will go back with one thing, and you will go back with this one thing, and this one, there is nothing other than you can bring, and that is "pride", and you will remember for the rest of your life how proud you are for Portsmouth, and you have made the crowd thunderous. You've thrilled the whole state, you've made the whole of New England rejoice, and you've even made the TV stations crazy for you. ”

When Hydward made this remark, the fans at the scene let out a huge cheer, not at all like they were eliminated, and even the Portsmouth fans sang a song "You Never Walk Alone" with the Liverpool fans who came from afar, and the powerful singing echoed throughout the stadium.

"Do you know why?" He asked, pointing to everyone in the room.

"Because people like fighters who work hard, people who have a sportsmanship, people who never give up, players who play with integrity. Well, let's get down to business, we're one of the best teams in England and one of the best teams in the world in the future, I promise you! ”

Portsmouth are a team with a very low average age, less than 24 years old, and the normal first-team composition will be around 27-29 years old, a year later, two years later? When these players are growing, it is not without purpose to go from England to the world, and Ward has that confidence, but only if the team is not poached too often.

But it is obviously impossible, after this FA Cup trip, it is estimated that there will be frequent scouts from Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and even clubs with developed scouting systems such as Inter, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Bayern and Dort.

Hydward retracted his thoughts and continued, "Guys, we still have a few games left, but before that, go relax and spend time with your parents, children, and wives, and tell them that you love him because they are really proud of you. I'm going to prepare for the next game, the next game, the next game endlessly, but you can relax, I love you, I will always love you, you have brought one of the most precious moments to my career as an athlete and coach, and I've been a coach for a while, for a long time, and one day I'll be old, and I need memories like this, and I need players like you. ”

He tapped everybody on the shoulder and told them to get up, "All right, guys, now go back to the dressing room, wipe away your tears, take a shower, maybe we'll meet them again in the Premier League next year and we'll see what happens." ”

The manager's words more or less brought a little back to Margri, who walked all the way down the tunnel and disappeared into the hole to the sound of the fans' singing.

………..

An hour later, in the car, in front of his girlfriend, in the back seat, he finally burst into tears. Edward sat in the driver's seat and encouraged him: "How many games are still to be played......

Margery's mind was full of the appearance of his fall, and finally he said to his girlfriend Christine: "I don't want my parents to see me like this, let's find a place to be alone, empty, no Portsmouth." ”

Kristen held her boyfriend's hand, glanced at Hydward, who was about to start the car, and asked, "Where?" ”

"I don't know," Margery said, a little dejected, "to Greg"

Greg is his agent and his company has strong ties to Portsmouth. Christine made a phone call to talk to Mr. Agent, and Margery wiped his eyes and felt a wave of dizziness, and the car was speeding up on the road leading to the airport, the same one that Portsmouth had taken when Hydward had taken office.

Christine's phone keeps ringing, Greg is figuring out how to arrange flights, Campbell knows a friend who has a private jet and they can do a favor, and all it takes is for Margery to decide where in the world he can go when his life is in shambles.

"Magre, how is Monaco?" Hydward suggested.

Monaco looks like a ghost town to Europeans, but it has a very strong tourism industry.

"Okay, I'll go there and hide."

Ward smiled, glanced at Christine, who still had a little freckles on her face, and looked very quiet, the girl had her own job, and this time she took a few days off, and said, "Take care of him, Christine"

The girl squeezed her boyfriend's hand and said, "I will." ”

"Margery, you can't handle this alone, give." Ward handed over a business card, on which was the address of the psychologist introduced by Chen Xi, which happened to be in Monaco.

"In the past two days, the phone will be turned off first, I will give you a holiday, you are welcome to come back at any time if you want to come back, no one in the team will blame you, this will always be your home."

Margery looked out the window at the speeding scenery and emptied his head, and only in this way could he have a temporary peace.
