When everything calmed down, Edward walked into the club's conference room, ready to answer questions from reporters, "I'm very happy with the belief that the players showed in this game, especially in the second half. "Edward didn't skimp on his praise in front of the media, and he wanted to let all the players know that they were very proud of their bloody performance today.

After a hurried post-match press conference, Edward stood in the middle of all the players in the dressing room, saying, "When we were equalised towards the end of the game, it was rare that we still had the belief to win, we didn't play well in the first half, but in the second half we found our rhythm. ”

"I want you to remember what you feel at this moment, the never-say-die spirit is the best quality I want to give to this team, which will lead us forward, and the experience of the past has given this club that spirit, and the passionate shouts of the fans are the backbone of that spirit. Our stadium isn't as big as the Camp Nou, the Bernabeu or the San Siro to accommodate as many fans, but I dare say there's no other stadium in Europe that scares visitors to Faton Park like this! ”

If you look at the standings at the moment, Portsmouth once again surpassed Chelsea's top spot on goal difference, which was a plot that the bold Pompey fans couldn't think of before the season, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, etc.

Hydward said something more, but was quickly interrupted by the roars and cheers of the players, and he feigned annoyance and blasted everyone out to thank the fans, leaving himself alone in the dressing room.

Portsmouth's opponent in the fourth round of the Premier League is Norwich; Sunderland in the fifth round; The sixth round of Queens Park Rangers, the whole September is actually the team's points-grabbing season, except for Fulham, the rest of the teams are relegation brothers. If you play well in September, you can leave room for error in a tough October schedule, hosting Arsenal in the seventh round, Southampton in the eighth round of the South Bank derby and Manchester City in the ninth round.

After the game, Sir Tine's Road, named after Portsmouth's legend, gradually emptied and Ward spent some time on the pitch with a couple of assistant coaches after seeing off the players, sitting in their offices, studying scouting reports and tactical maps to prepare for the next game and tomorrow. The teaching assistants were leaving, and by the time Hydward returned to his apartment, it was close to one o'clock in the morning, it was quiet, and the wind was howling at night. The light in the room was still on, but his wife Chen Xi was already asleep, and he was actually very attached to the light at night, because she would never put it out.

In the past, Chen Xi would wait no matter how late it was, but recently she has confirmed that she has a baby, so she can't stay up late.

…………………

When he gets up in the morning, Hydward will start with a quick scan of today's newspaper in his home office, Chen Xi will call him when he makes breakfast, and after the two of them have breakfast, he will check his email to make sure he is up to date before the day begins. Around eight o'clock, he'd arrive at the Pons training base, and the first thing he did in the morning was a meeting with the coaching staff, who arrived around the same time as Ward, and when they went to the office for the meeting, they had already met with the team doctor and the medical team, so that the manager could know which players could attend, how much each player could handle, and the recovery of the various injuries in the team.

Hydward's daily training schedule is broken down into a week or 15-day cycle, each cycle sets specific goals according to the stage the team is in the league, for example, it is the beginning of the season, the team focuses on endurance training, and as the season progresses, the team slowly focuses on physical recovery or ball control, or improving game skills, for example, improving defense, strengthening tactical routines, etc., Each tactic takes a lot of time and effort.

In the conference room, Hydward reiterates the planned training and that if some of the players at the base are not available, they will have to adjust their work schedules, for example, if the day's training is about improving their attacking routines, but both Mane and Klose are injured, then they will be adjusted to possession. Injured players arrive at base before 9 o'clock, they arrive earlier than others, and the coaching staff has to arrange in advance for the treatment they need. Half an hour later, the other players arrived, and the first thing they did was to have a brief conversation with the medical team, to report to the medical staff on the recovery from minor injuries and ailments, and to receive a massage if necessary, before going to breakfast.

The majority of the team is made up of young people, and Edward often finds that if they make up their own breakfast, they either eat too much or simply don't eat at all, so he asks everyone to eat in the club restaurant to make sure they eat correctly before starting a new training day. In addition to this, he also asked the players to memorize the name of each staff member, which is a basic requirement for the players.

Training starts at 10:10 a.m. and usually lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and after the warm-up, players who are unable to participate in training have to leave on their own to do some physiotherapy or go to the gym to recuperate. The rest of the people start today's training.

A typical training session consists of four to five different sports, each lasting fifteen minutes, for example, this morning's training is used to improve shooting ability, then it will start with a group ball control confrontation, it may be two against two, the ball control team must cooperate with the ball protection to prevent the opponent in the middle from grabbing the ball, followed by small goal shooting training, it may be one defense two, and then it will be a larger training, before a five-a-side football match, it may be three against three. This kind of training requires players to touch the ball with one or two feet, and if they are doing dribbling skills, they are required to have a 100 per cent success rate in this area.

It's no secret in the Premier League that Hydward has installed a big screen on the pitch and four or five drones flying in the sky, and few players can escape the eyes of modern technology. In addition to this, Hydward has revolutionized his training, often setting scripts, such as the last five minutes of the game; One side leads by one goal; Or both players can only shoot with a single touch, etc. These games are not designed to be fun, but to engage players in training sessions at all times, even from the sidelines, to enjoy training sessions and have fun learning to consolidate their training.

Of course, how his training sessions are changing, those solid balls are still stubbornly lying in the equipment room, and they are maintained every day. The 53-year-old American physical trainer Oliver used to work for the NBA Golden State Warriors, and he was hated to death by the players for the first time he engaged in football training, but Hydward admired him, because there is no physical trainer who is not hated by the players, Oliver guides the players to fight with the water almost every day, and the Americans have many more tricks than in the past when they were in charge of this piece of Walker.

This kind of training is usually held in the afternoon, and the afternoon training sessions are more autonomous, and only those who are not in good shape are regular visitors to Oliver's place.

After the morning session, the coaching staff and medical team would gather to analyze the completion and see if anyone noticed which player was injured, who was in better shape, or who was not in form. When busy, everyone would settle lunch at Hydward's desk while watching the game and discuss, write down the results, and analyze the information on the computer.

It's good to have a full tournament cycle, like the first week of September is a double tournament a week, so there's really no extra time to waste.

In the afternoon, the players have their own different tasks, some are captured by Oliver, some are under the leadership of Van der Sar to increase shooting practice, the team does not have a dedicated shooting coach so the goalkeeper coach is concurrent, in the FIFA coaching system, the goalkeeper coach is the most important position in addition to the head coach, after completing the C-level coaching qualification certificate, you can choose to embark on an independent goalkeeper coach qualification assessment system, and the technical guidance of the middle and lower reaches of the team is generally concurrently served by the goalkeeper coach.

Heidward's team is still a bit thin, with Oliver and Van der Sar almost having the final say on the afternoon training pitch, while he and Walker lead the players, mostly defenders, to the video analysis room to watch the footage. If Hydward hadn't been there, he would have been in a meeting with Tom, Frank or the player's agent. In another case, he is busy sorting out training reports, and everyone has to find time to read them.

Throughout the process, his cell phone would ring from time to time, the occasional media, more often the player's agent was going to recommend the player, the most important of these calls was his own scout, they would always talk about which hopeful star they had poached in some corner of the world, or the opponent's performance in this round, the success or failure of the football field depends a lot on the information, so the more information collected, the better, Portsmouth's scouting team is the fastest growing in the department, almost geometrically.

The day's work is until seven o'clock, the players leave, the staff leaves work, the assistant coach leaves, Hydward will continue to work in the office until nine o'clock in the evening, if the players are scheduled for evening training that day, it may be even later, the game day usually ends until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and if the ball is lost, Hydward usually sleeps all night.

He always can't wait to go home, even if he chats with his wife, tells her what she has done during the day, what is new, and if he has free time, he will go to the beach close to home and take the family's new dog.

This is the only time of the day that has nothing to do with work, only private time for the family, but fortunately, Chen Xi is quite interested in football, and the two can even put their love in the Pons training base and walk around the training ground again and again, otherwise Hydward can hardly imagine what his life will become.
