The rain drips down, the snowflakes float gently, and two strange weather appears in the sky.

Soon, the turf was already wet.

Ferguson tightened his wide collar, walked to the command area and called out a few times, then retracted back to the coach's seat.

Playing football in such special weather will definitely be greatly reduced.

Every player wants to avoid injury, so he plays carefully. It’s not that they are afraid, it’s just natural conditioning.

Manchester United's goal is to score three points, while Portsmouth only wants to fight for a draw.

Asymmetric goals create tactical differences.

Since Manchester United wants to win the game, they have to strengthen their offense. The slippery turf limits their offensive quality and speed.

The ball was pushed forward in the middle and backcourt at the beginning, but as soon as the Portsmouth players pressed up, it became difficult for Manchester United players to operate.

In order to better control the quality of the pass, Manchester United can only focus on short passes, and the players are in close proximity.

Giggs and Ronaldo on both sides could not pull the edge, and the field was slippery, so they could not play their speed advantage at all, so they could only fight positional battles with their teammates.

It's easier to play Portsmouth, who stationed the backcourt and narrowed the defense.

Facing a Manchester United team with no speed and technical advantages, at least they will not panic or be in a hurry.

Head coach Redknapp stood in the command area braved the rain and snow, constantly driving his players to keep the formation tighter and closer to Manchester United players.

This further compresses Manchester United players' passing space, forcing them to speed up the passing speed. The speed will accelerate, and the passing will naturally cause more mistakes.

Many times, before both sides could meet, they made mistakes in passing, and people frequently fell on the turf.

Rooney and Smith, who started the game, played very hard, but they couldn't get a goal.

No player can show his advantage in such special weather.

The two frequently crossed positions in the frontcourt, trying to get rid of the entanglement of Portsmouth defenders.

But this move is useless. After all, the opponent's defense has contracted too tightly. There are people around him, so how can they run, there is only so much space.

What's more, Manchester United's midfield advancement is not fast, and often when they run to the position, the ball is still not sent to their feet.

The diligent Smith even began to complain to his teammates.

Every time he missed the opportunity to catch the ball, he couldn't help but wave his hand and complain...

I was obviously a little impatient.

But why do they always look for Ronaldo? Every time he and Rooney switch to the right, they are always dissatisfied with Ronaldo's pass...

This is a difficult and boring game, stalemate, dry but unable to reach orgasm.

Seeing that the ball was unable to be effectively passed to the front, Keane and Scholes in the middle tried long shots, trying to create some accidents through the slippery field.

Scholes shot two consecutive cold arrows outside the penalty area, but the Portsmouth goalkeeper's attention was quite focused and did not let him succeed.

Rooney also saw such an opportunity, deliberately pulled back and kept in touch with Scholes.

The shooting opportunity also came out. In order to get the shot, he always hit one after another. He immediately took off without making any extra adjustments, and he wanted to be fast.

But he still couldn't penetrate the Portsmouth gate. Soon Portsmouth made a defensive adjustment, preventing Rooney from retreating easily, blocking such a long-range loophole.

The game fell into silence again and became stalemate again.

Such a tug-of-war lasted throughout the half, and at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

It seems that first of all, ensuring that you don’t lose, has become the most basic requirement for both head coaches.

In the locker room, Ferguson did not habitually breathe and get angry, and he treated him differently in different competitions.

Instead, we seriously emphasize defensive attention and offensive patience.

Only by playing more patiently than your opponent can you seize limited opportunities.

But in the offense, he still made timely adjustments. Dong Fangzhuo had already taken off his thick coat and started warming up on the sidelines.

Because the weather is special and cold, if the warm-up time is short, it will be very fast to play, which can easily increase the chance of injury. Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo's warm-up time is relatively long. It took nearly 15 minutes before the Lord pushed him onto the field and replaced Smith, who was naturally too anxious.

There were sparse applause in the stands, but the applause would definitely not be given to Smith, who ended up in a depressed manner, but Dong Fangzhuo, who had just appeared.

No matter where he goes, Dong Fangzhuo will always meet a small group of Chinese fans, and now the one who gives him applause.

There are many Chinese studying abroad at the University of Portsmouth.

After Dong Fangzhuo came on the court, he was adjusted to the right, not the left side he used to playing.

Ferguson has done this in recent training because Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo's cooperation is obviously more tacit than others, so he is stupid and does not put them together.

What's more, the cooperation between Rooney, Scholes and Giggs is obviously better than Dong Fangzhuo, and this arrangement is very reasonable.

But Portsmouth's coach Redknapp is not a Premier League rookie coach. He is not the oldest coach on the England court. Even Ferguson is a few years older than him, but he is the oldest coach on the England court.

He has been in the England field for decades, so he can make timely adjustments to any tactical turmoil.

After seeing Ferguson make adjustments, his adjustments follow closely.

As soon as Dong Fangzhuo came on stage, someone next to him posted him up and pressed him closely.

wipe!

So serious!

Dong Fangzhuo felt a trace of murderous aura coming from behind him instantly.

This is not something that can be encountered frequently in the Premier League. He is not a big-name star. Is it necessary to treat it like this?

He didn't know that since the match against Arsenal, he had already become very familiar with the head coaches of various Premier League clubs.

It seems that he is very inconspicuous in Manchester United's tactics, but he can always score goals for Manchester United in many cases. What is the difference between such a guy and the previous Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

It seems that it is not outstanding, it is not important or conspicuous at all, but it is often such a guy who changes the game.

Even Ferguson frowned slightly from the field. Old Redknapp's move was a big surprise. He actually sent someone to defend Dong?

This is not easy to kick...

But Dong Fangzhuo didn't have time to think about it, and Ronaldo's pass came in an instant.
Chapter completed!
