Xu Zhou was also shocked when he received the news that Chelsea had been punished, because the punishment was simply too heavy. I really didn't expect that things would develop into such an effect.Xu Zhou was also very fortunate that Manchester City was not punished.

Hearing this penalty, all the teams in the Premier League gasped. This was simply too terrifying. They were secretly glad that they were not hit by the gun.Fortunately, I am very lucky. Now the Premier League teams have become more cautious and restrained a lot, and they will not be as crazy as before.And the fans of each team also let out a sigh of relief, secretly calling out that they were not the ones making trouble.

At this time, Chelsea fans were very dissatisfied. They began to demonstrate outside the buildings of the Premier League Disciplinary Committee and the English Football Association to express their dissatisfaction.They cannot accept such a heavy punishment. They think that this is the retaliation of the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee. They shouted for democracy on the street.This time is escalating, which makes the Premier League Disciplinary Committee and the English Football Association feel very tricky.

However, the English Football Association and the Premier League Discipline Inspection Committee did not mean to compromise. They immediately held a press conference.Indeed, the matter has come to this point. The English Football Association and the Premier League Discipline Inspection Committee have no way out. If Chelsea fans continue to make such a fuss, it will only intensify the incident. In the end, it will still be the Chelsea club that is injured!

Therefore, when seeing the press conference of the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee, the Chelsea club called on the fans to be rational and consider the general direction.This is really shit, let the victim explain to the perpetrator, which makes the Chelsea club have been secretly blasting the English Football Association and the Premier League Disciplinary Committee.There is no way people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Hearing the appeal of the club, Chelsea fans have become more rational, and this incident has gradually subsided.

At this time, the fifth round of the English Premier League in the 2008-2009 season will officially begin.Manchester City will face Portsmouth at their home stadium, Manchester City Stadium, and now Manchester City's home, Manchester, has been repaired and can be put into use again.

Portsmouth Football Club (Portsmouth Football Club), established in 1898, is located in the Hampshire port city of Portsmouth's Fatton Park Stadium. On April 1898, 4, under the witness of lawyers, five businessmen established Portsmouth Football and Athletic Co., Ltd., and raised funds to purchase a piece of land near Goldsmiths Avenue for the establishment of a new team (the current site of Fatton Park Stadium).The team was based on the Royal Infantry, which had just been forced to disband for violating amateur regulations, and successfully qualified for the Southern League. The first league game was a 5-1899 away defeat to Chatham on September 9, 2. Three days later, the team returned to Farton Park to play a friendly match with the local rival team Southampton.In the first season, they won 1 games in 0 games, won the runner-up in the Southern League, and won the championship in the following year (28/20).

After World War II, Portsmouth became one of the strong teams in the British League, winning two consecutive league championships in 1949 (the golden jubilee year of Portsmouth's establishment) and 1950.However, since the champion coach Bob Jackson (Bob Jackson) switched to Hull City in 1952, the team has been inactive. Since then, it has deteriorated. They were relegated to Group B in 1959 and then relegated to Group C in 1961. Although it only took one season to return to Group B as champions, they could only stay in Group B for more than ten years.John Deacon became chairman of Portsmouth in 1972 and a cash injection failed to turn the situation around, and the team was relegated to Group C again in 1976.

In November 1976, Portsmouth urgently needed 11 pounds to repay debts to avoid bankruptcy. Finally, the local newspaper "The News" (The News) mobilized fans to donate to tide over the difficulties.The team sold players to solve financial difficulties, and was forced to play with young players. As a result, they were relegated to the D-League competition in 25,000.

Flourishing and declining, Portsmouth has gradually become the elevator of English football, going up and down between all levels of leagues, and there are no commendable achievements.In the last season, the Portsmouth club was only able to relegation, and their goal this season is still relegation.Therefore, facing such an opponent, Manchester City has only one goal, and that is to take all three points.

This season, Manchester City's goal is to hit the league title.At the beginning of the season, Manchester City was acquired by a big consortium, and then invested heavily. Chelsea's money offensive swept England here. The addition of Xu Zhou, Kompany, Robinho and others made the English people see Manchester City's ambitions this season.They also hope that the team can win the Premier League championship under the money offensive like Chelsea, and then hit the UEFA Champions League championship.The big consortium that bought Manchester City hopes to create a giant and compete with Manchester United.To become a wealthy family, the championship is the fastest approach, and only a large investment can bring the championship, so... cycle... endless cycle...

Before the game, Manchester City's head coach Mark Hughes received a death order from the club chairman, that is, to win the Portsmouth team.The current chairman of the Manchester City team is not a fool. The current Manchester City team may not be able to fight against a giant club like Manchester United, but they can still easily win a team like Portsmouth.The league is a long process. We must score points for weak teams and try not to score points for strong teams. This is the main strategy of Manchester City this season.

On September 2008, 9, the 21th round of the 2008-2009 English Premier League will be held. Manchester City will face the visiting Portsmouth team at their home court.Before the game, the Manchester City Stadium, home of Manchester City, was already filled with fans of Manchester City. Since the beginning of the season, Manchester City's performance has been very good. Except for losing the first league game, Manchester City has never lost. Especially after Xu Zhou and Robinho joined, the strength of this Manchester City team has improved a lot.Now, Manchester City fans are very optimistic about the prospects of Manchester City this season. They firmly believe that the team can win the league championship at the end of the season!

At 2008:9 pm on September 21, 8, the match between Manchester City and Portsmouth officially began. Today's starting list for both sides is as follows:

Home team: Manchester City, head coach: Mark Hughes, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Back four [from left to right]: Ball, Dunne, Kompany, Michael Richards

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Martin Pidlov, Elano, Ireland, Xu Zhou

Double forwards: Jo, Robinho

Away: Portsmouth, manager: Harry Redknapp, formation: 2-3-[-]-[-]

Goalkeeper: James

Back four [from left to right]: Kabul, Campbell, Distin

Double defensive midfielders: Diarra, Berhard

Three forwards [from left to right]: Sean Davies, Traore, Glenn Johnson

Double forwards: Crouch, Defoe

The game officially started. The home team Manchester City kicked off first. As soon as the game started, Manchester City launched a crazy attack.After all, they came here for victory today, and they didn't want Portsmouth to have a chance to breathe. They must give each other a fatal blow before they have a firm foothold!

However, judging from the formation of Portsmouth coach Harry Redknapp today, Portsmouth will not be tied down.Their offensive lineup today is very offensive. It seems that today they are going to start a confrontation with Manchester City.To be able to make such a decision, it can be seen that Harry Redknapp is very courageous, and of course it can be seen that they value this game.

However, Mark Hughes, the head coach of Manchester City, didn't take the other side seriously. In Mark Hughes' view, the other side was undoubtedly looking for death by doing so.Mark Hughes didn't believe that the opponent would pose any threat to him, although on the surface, the opponent's offense was very strong, and the striker ability was very strong.However, the strength of the opponent's midfield is simply too poor.If it is against a weak team, perhaps Portsmouth's lineup will achieve good results, but against Manchester City, Portsmouth will die faster with such a lineup.

Portsmouth's defensive ability in the backcourt is insufficient, and the ability of the midfielders to organize offense is not strong.That's why Mark Hughes dared to underestimate his opponent.

At the beginning of the game, it was up to each other. Manchester City had already launched a frenzied attack against Portsmouth, and Portsmouth was exhausted.Moreover, under the crazy attack of Manchester City, Portsmouth's defense looked so unbearable. With only a few impacts, Manchester City tore open Portsmouth's defense and threatened Portsmouth's goal.

In the middle, this time Manchester City did not take their strong side, but broke through the Portsmouth defense from the middle! !
