502. The FA Cup final is coming
Now that the major national teams have begun to concentrate, they are all starting to prepare for the upcoming Shijie Cup. However, at this time, the Portuguese national team is still thinking about the head coach, and they don't think that Paulo 61 Bento can lead the Portuguese national team well.
At this time, the Portuguese Football Federation actually hoped that Jose 61 Mourinho could lead the Portuguese national team to this Shijie Cup. And Jose 61 Mourinho is only in charge of this Shijie Cup, and after the Shijie Cup is over, Jose 61 Mourinho can leave the Portuguese national team to coach your Real Madrid.
The Portuguese Football Association is afraid that Paulo 61 Bento will not be able to control the scene, especially if the problem between Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze is not handled well, if this problem is not solved well, the Portuguese national team will be finished in this Shijie Cup.
Of course, the Portuguese Football Federation is very secretive, and the current head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo 61 Bento, and many members of the Portuguese national team do not know about it, only a few people know. Of course, Jose 61 Mourinho knows it very well.
At this time, the Portuguese Football Federation had already found him, but Jose 61 Mourinho did not agree. He's still thinking about it. To be honest, he doesn't really want to coach the Portuguese national team, and if it weren't for the reminder of his agent, Jorge 61 Mendes, he would have turned down the Portuguese Football Federation.
Jorge 61 Mendes hopes that Jose 61 Mourinho can go to the Portuguese national team, and in his opinion, this is good for Jose 61 Mourinho after that, and there is no harm.
Qiu Ze knew about this matter, and he also got such news unintentionally. After getting the news, Qiu Ze was stunned, the Portuguese Football Association would do this, this is just child's play. Now that the Shijie Cup is approaching, and now the coach is changing, he really doesn't know what the Portuguese Football Federation thinks?
Could it be that Jose 61 Mourinho is really a guy under God and above all beings? This guy has strength, Qiu Ze is very sure. However, even if Jose 61 Mourinho asked him to take over the Portuguese national team at this time, it would only be to find death.
Paulo 61 Bento has been in charge for so long, he has been testing his tactics, and now the Portuguese national team has become familiar with Paulo 61 Bento, and now there is a sudden change of coach, where does the Portuguese national team have time to adapt to the new tactics?
Anyway, Qiu Ze very much disagrees with Jose 61 Mourinho as the head coach of the Portuguese national team. However, these things are not in his charge at all, and he has no right to speak. Qiu Ze had to pray in his heart, praying that the Portuguese Football Association would not go crazy.
At this time, Qiu Ze and Liverpool are preparing for the upcoming FA Cup final, and now this game is getting closer, and the Liverpool players are full of confidence, they are confident of beating Portsmouth and winning the title.
Portsmouth's quality is really not good, and it can be described as a miracle that they were able to reach the FA Cup final in Zuihou this season. Moreover, they miraculously gave up their league to achieve it.
Portsmouth have now been relegated and will play in the Championship next season. This shows that Portsmouth are not very strong, and Liverpool should be very easy to beat them. However, Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez still reminded his players not to underestimate their opponents and to pay 100 per cent attention to them.
Liverpool have been training very seriously lately, they know that now is the most critical moment, and they can't let up at this time, they want to win the title.
Steven Gerrard, Carragher and Fernando Torres 61 also came to the training base to cheer on the Liverpool players, hoping that the Liverpool players would be serious and not take it lightly.
In the preparation, the Liverpool players are very serious, they are not lazy at all, they are also very keen to win the FA Cup, if they win this time, they will defend the title.
Yes, last season's FA Cup was also won by Liverpool, who have been very successful in recent seasons and want to be even more successful this season to win the Grand Slam.
Now that the game is getting closer, the Liverpool players are tightening, they don't dare to relax at all, they treat Portsmouth as a team like Chelsea and Manchester United.
Portsmouth Football Club is an English football club, one of the English Premier League teams, founded in 1898 and based at the Faton Park Portsmouth Football Club Stadium in the Hampshire port city of Portsmouth. Nicknamed Pompey.
Portsmouth won the English top flight twice, but at that time the top flight in England was not called the Premier League, but the League One. They also won the FA Cup twice and were runners-up in the FA Cup twice.
The last time they won the FA Cup was in 2008, two years ago, and they reached the final of the FA Cup again two years later, which shows that they are still in good shape.
Liverpool and Portsmouth have met twice in the Premier League this season, with the two sides having the same record with one win and one defeat, with Liverpool losing 0-2 away to Portsmouth and 4-1 at home.
In fact, Portsmouth's results this season are still good, if it weren't for the financial problems that led to them being deducted nine points, Portsmouth would not have been relegated this season, these non-human factors, they have no choice.
Now Portsmouth manager Grant is still very confident about this FA Cup final in Zuihou, and he is confident that Portsmouth will win the FA Cup against Liverpool under his leadership.
Grant coached Maccabi FC in Petach 61 Tikva in Israel, Maccabi FC Tel Aviv and Maccabi FC Haifa before coaching the Israeli national team in 2002. After leaving Israel, he served as Jishu Director at Portsmouth FC until joining Chelsea in July 2007.
In the early hours of 25 May 2008, Chelsea Football Club announced through its official website that manager Grant had been sacked and his coaching contract had been annulled.
In just 247 days as Chelsea manager, Grant led the Blues from bottom to second place in the league, from a 2-0 defeat in the opening game to a 2-1 win at home to a 2-1 win over the Reds.
In the Champions League, he led the Blues to the final in history, only to lose on penalties in Zuihou. As a firefighter, Grant undoubtedly completed his mission perfectly, but because he had a mythical predecessor - Jose 61 Mourinho, and a demanding boss - Abramovich, he seemed so helpless that he could not escape the doom of the class after all.
This season, Grant became the head coach of Portsmouth, and he has led Portsmouth to a decent record this season, and Portsmouth would not have been relegated if it had not been for the deduction of nine league points. And he also has a chance to win the FA Cup.
However, at this time, there are already rumors that Grant will be sacked by Portsmouth, and after this FA Cup final in Zuihou, Grant will no longer be the manager of Portsmouth, and no matter what the outcome of this Zuihou game is?
However, when Grant was asked about this question before the game, he simply chose to ignore it, and he did not answer the question from the media reporters, which made the media reporters even more convinced that Grant had been sacked by Portsmouth.
Grant didn't say anything about these issues at all in his pre-match press conference, he was mostly saying that there was something about the game. Speaking to reporters, he said: "The Liverpool team is very strong, and the chances against Liverpool are not very good for Portsmouth, but we will not give up, we will give it our all. ”
And Grant also talked about the past league, he said: "In the Premier League this season, we have played against Liverpool, we have played twice, we have won once, so we don't think we will lose to Liverpool. ”
Grant added: "We at Portsmouth have been preparing for this game for a long time and are very well prepared. We sadly suffered from relegation from the Premier League this season and brought disaster to the Portsmouth fans and now we hope to make amends for our mistakes and make them happy with this title. ”
Grant Zuihou also said: "We are confident that we can beat Liverpool in this game, you see, Zuihou's FA Cup title will definitely be ours. ”
Speaking to reporters, Portsmouth striker Utaka said: "Now we don't have to care about what happens to the opponents. Now we just have to be ourselves. ”
Comrade Utaka also said: "This time we still have a great chance, because the Liverpool team is not the sharpest Liverpool team now, many of their main players are injured, they can't play, their strength will drop a lot, this is our opportunity." ”
Comrade Utaka also said: "Yes, you are right, I will definitely score in this game, you can watch it." I won't let you down. ”
Portsmouth goalkeeper James said in an interview with the media before the game: "Liverpool's attacking ability is very strong, but their striker Fernando 61 Torres can't play this game, which gives us a lot less defensive pressure, and after the defensive pressure drops, we will have more energy to attack." ”
James added: "Liverpool's results this season have been very good, but they haven't been smooth sailing, they have had their ups and downs. I've got news that the Liverpool players have been very slack lately and they didn't take us to heart because they thought they could beat us easily, so that's good news for us. ”
James Zuihou added: "Chris is a really good player, he is the best player in the Premier League this season, and Liverpool have such a player in the squad, which is certainly a very big threat to us. But we still have confidence, after all, this game is not one person, but the whole game, and I am very confident in our whole game. ”
Then there was Portsmouth's full-back, Stephen 61, who came out to give interviews to reporters.
You guessed that right, this Stephen 61 Finnan is the same one from the original Liverpool team, and he used to be in the Liverpool team.
Irishman Steve 61 Finnan was an indispensable part of Benitez's squad, and although he has been competing for his own right-back since joining the Reds, from Jose Mi to Kronkamp to Arbeloa, he has defended his place in the team with his excellent performances. Solid defense and sharp assists are the magic weapons of his stable position.
However, due to frequent injuries, he lost his main position, allowing Arbeloa to take the opportunity to take the main position, and in 2008, Stephen 61 Finnan was squeezed out by Arbeloa, and the Irishman eventually joined the Espanyol team.
However, this season, the Premier League's Portsmouth team brought Stephen 61 Finnan back to England, making him a member of the Portsmouth team.
