No. [203] round: The home field of the new season is off to a good start
In the first half, the Birmingham team had a chance to extend the score again, but unfortunately Li Qinglong's volley in the box was saved by James bravely, and at the same time, Sebastian Larsson's direct free kick was also slightly touched by James's fingertips, changed direction and deviated from the goal.
At the end of the first half, Birmingham had a two-goal lead over Portsmouth at home.
The fans of the Birmingham team are very satisfied with this result, and they are also very excited, if the Birmingham team continues to behave like this, it is impossible to say that their goal this season is really not as simple as relegation.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Portsmouth team still did not make much progress, and there was still only a parry, and it can be seen that the Portsmouth team is not grinding into shape at all now, and they must do their best to run in and guess if they want to achieve results.
At the start of the second half, Birmingham had a good chance to go close to finding the back of the net against Portsmouth.
This time it was still the cooperation between Dongfang Chen and Sturridge, Dongfang Chen jumped high, shook the long pass in the backfield directly to a lion's head, and ferried the football to Sturridge who was in front.
Sturridge saw that there was a defender in front of him, and he immediately passed the ball back horizontally to Dongfang Chen, who landed on the ground and ran forward.
Seeing Dongfang Chen get the ball, Portsmouth's defenders immediately moved to Dongfang Chen's side, Dongfang Chen's long-range shooting ability is very good, they won't give Dongfang Chen a chance to shoot from a distance.
The Portsmouth defender moved towards Dongchen, and he immediately gently picked the ball forward with the tip of his right foot, and the ball quickly flew over the heads of the Portsmouth players and flew behind him, and the Portsmouth players were shocked, and they immediately turned around and found that the damn guy Sturridge had rushed towards the football.
"Damn it!" On the sidelines, Portsmouth's head coach Paul Hart was about to curse his mother.
Sturridge, who rushed towards the football, glanced up at James's position, and then the moment the ball bounced off the ground, he slammed his leg and slammed the rebounding ball.
The ball immediately went like a cannonball into the Portsmouth goal.
The speed of the ball is very fast, really fast, so fast that it is like a peerless swordsman drawing his sword, only to feel a flash of cold light in front of him, and he can no longer see anything.
The Portsmouth fans were scared to pee when they saw the shot.
However, this time James's position was very good, the football flew straight forward, James put his fists in gear, and the football flew high and flew out of the bottom line.
Sturridge, who wasted the opportunity, blamed himself very much, covered his face with his hands, and regretted it.
Sturridge knew that he was a little excited, if he was calm, he would never make such a choice, he could have stopped the football and dealt with it again, he seemed a little anxious.
However, the players in the Birmingham team did not blame Sturridge, after all, he is still young and understandably excited.
Corner, Birmingham City got a corner, Sebastian Larsson curled the ball away, and the ball quickly flew over everyone's heads and towards the back post.
James Collins, the bald head at the back post, jumped high and smashed the ball into the Portsmouth goal with a header.
This time James reacted quickly and made a flying pounce to send the ball off the line, and Birmingham won another corner.
Sebastian Larsson drove the ball out again, this time again at the back point, and at the back point it was still the bald James Collins, who jumped high and shook his head at the ball.
Yes, this time he didn't opt to go straight to the goal, but instead threw the ball at Kevin Boateng, who was unmarked on the line of the box.
When Boateng saw the ball flying towards him, he immediately swung it back and swung it hard, and the ball shot over the crossbar at a rapid pace.
Kevin Boateng regretted that there were a lot of people in the box, and he was afraid that the general shot would go straight to the person and be blocked, so he chose to hit the top corner of the goal, but unfortunately it was not pressed, the ball was slightly over the crossbar, and the Birmingham team missed a good chance to score again.
In this game, Portsmouth team was not without chances, and they also created a couple of good chances.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Portsmouth had their best chance of the game.
Portsmouth made a long pass at the back, and the football flew quickly to the wing, and the full-back Diop on the side turned directly and jumped high enough to top the ball that was about to fly out of the sideline into the middle.
The ball flew quickly towards Kranica in the middle, Kranica stretched out his leg to stop the ball, the ball bounced in front of him, he quickly followed, and when he caught up with the ball, he did not stick to the ball again, but suddenly sent a through ball.
The ball raced past Birmingham City centre-back Ridgewell, who had just started to pounce on Cranica, and rolled behind him.
"Wonderful Biography! Kanu is single-handed! Opportunity! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared with excitement.
The ball rolled straight to the feet of Kanu in the penalty area, and Kanu was now facing Birmingham goalkeeper Joe Hart, and it was a one-on-one chance, a great chance to score.
Kanu volleyed straight away, and the ball immediately whistled towards the Birmingham goal, and the Birmingham fans were terrified.
At this time, Birmingham goalkeeper Joe Hart stepped up, flew out sideways, and knocked the ball out with one palm.
The Portsmouth fans immediately sighed in disappointment, it was simply disappointing that such opportunities were missed.
On the sidelines, Portsmouth's manager Paul Hart put his head in his hands, regretting that such a ball could not be scored, and it seemed that they had no chance at all.
The Portsmouth team's attack also shocked the players of the Birmingham team, the Portsmouth team still has a certain ability, but now they really don't knead together, so they don't show their due strength.
At this time, the players of the Birmingham team were embarrassed, it seemed that they underestimated the level of the Premier League team, and the players of the Birmingham team immediately put away their contempt and took the game seriously.
Portsmouth's attack picked up a bit, but the Birmingham players got serious and they immediately took the initiative on the pitch again.
After a one-two on the wing and Kevin Boateng in the middle, Sebastian Larsson suddenly dribbled down the ball past the Portsmouth full-backs and then swept the ball into the box before the ball was about to go off the line.
Yes, it was a sweep rather than a high ball cross, and the ball rolled into the Portsmouth box with a tight grip on the ground.
The Portsmouth players didn't expect Sebastian Larsson to make such a choice, he put an air bully in the box and passed the ball to the ball.
The Portsmouth players had no idea that Sebastian Larsson would opt for a bocce cross, so they had little reaction to the ball and the ball rolled towards the middle of the box.
Dongfang Chen, who was rushing forward, saw the football rolling in close to the ground, and his mind immediately appeared Li Huitang's ability to fall to the ground and shoot on the ground.
Lee Hye-tang's technique of falling to the ground and shooting immediately came to his mind.
Dongfang Chen immediately ran towards the rolling football, and when the football was about to roll in front of him, Dongfang Chen directly fell to the ground and slid the shovel, swung back against the incoming ball, and hit the rapidly rolling football.
The ball immediately shot at the Portsmouth goal, and Portsmouth's goalkeeper James reacted quickly, but he still didn't touch the football, and the ball flew into the Portsmouth goal.
Three to zero!
Dongfangchen's down-and-down shot sent the ball into the Portsmouth goal, and Birmingham City led Portsmouth 3-0 at home.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were very excited, very excited, and the fans of the Birmingham team shouted Dongfangchen's name excitedly, and even some excited female fans shouted loudly: "Dongfang, marry me!" Orient, I've warmed the bed for you! Oriental, there is no one in my house tonight! ”
Dongfang Chen, who scored the goal, was a little excited, he immediately rushed to the sidelines, jumped high, and excitedly waved his fist into the sky.
The players of the Birmingham team also rushed over quickly, celebrating and cheering with Dongfang Chen.
