Chapter 228 Samaras' Machete
The game object of the two people has also been determined, and Samaras will play in the Portsmouth league.

Aguero's test target is Wigan Athletic.

The two experimental mice were still unconscious.Without realizing it at all, he had been pressed onto the cutting board.

The only difference is whether it was a Greek machete or an Argentine dagger.

"Manchester City is very strong, I don't think so. After all, we won the FA Cup last season, and we won it by beating Manchester United! Our FA Cup championship is full of finesse!" Portsmouth head coach Old Reid Knapp, when interviewed by reporters before the game, spoke plausibly.

"We introduced a lot of reliable players in the summer. These players are the cornerstone of our team. They provide more possibilities for our tactics, and of course there is a deep bench depth. In this way, we can cope with the UEFA Cup and the league. When it comes to time, you can have enough energy and ability.”

"Our team is running very well and there are no problems. Although the team has gone through a process in running-in, thank God, we are in a very good stage."

The Premier League has played four rounds, and the old Redknapp's team has two wins and two losses in the league, and their performance is not bad.

However, in order to realize Redknapp's ambitions, Portsmouth did not hesitate to borrow in the summer to give Redknapp enough funds to sign up, and the intensity is quite strong.

From this point of view, Lao Lei's performance this season is actually a bit unsatisfactory.

Last season, Portsmouth was not bad, ranking eighth. This season, they must at least enter the European theater of the standings.So this game, for the old Redknapp, is a test.

In this battle, Manchester City has made adjustments, and Samaras and Shevchenko are still on the front line.

Aguero, who was hotly discussed before, sat on the bench, but from the expression point of view, he was quite normal, without any special emotional expression.

The camera shot meaningfully gave Aguero a ten-second close-up.

This game in the Manchester City team is only known to the players in the team, and there is no rumor.Therefore, the outside world's relationship with the two people is still in a delicate situation due to the competition for the main position.

As soon as the game started, there were cameras aimed at Samaras.

Samaras behaved as usual, as soon as the ball was kicked off, he began to run forward, rushed directly into the Portsmouth penalty area, and stood with the opponent's two central defenders.

When one's own full-back gets in, Samaras will always raise his hand to ask for the ball immediately, or lean his back against the defensive player, and make a wall for Silva or Shevchenko.

Of course, if Samaras has the chance himself, he will not begrudge the chance to shoot.

In the 10th minute, Yaya Toure made a pass into the penalty area. Samaras opened his arms, leaned against the defender, stopped the ball with his chest, and then put his right foot on the ground and passed the ball horizontally to Shev who was facing the player. Chenko.

Shevchenko didn't expect him to pass the ball, and was a little taken aback. The football has been cleared by the defensive player.

Shevchenko was a little puzzled. When running back, he communicated with Samaras: "In this position just now, the opponent's goalkeeper was a bit off. You can half turn around and volley with your right foot. You can do this action." .”

Samaras shook his head: "In the situation just now, it is obvious that your position is better."

Shevchenko also shook his head and walked away.

Everyone has their own playing style, once formed, it is difficult to change.Moreover, Samaras' style is not good for himself, but it is good for the team.

Taking the lead in the 13th minute, David Silva ran laterally in front of the penalty area to bring out Portsmouth's three-man defense, and then he suddenly passed a precise small diagonal line.

Samaras jumped in against offside, facing Portsmouth goalkeeper James, Samaras hit the goal with his left foot, 1:0.

Samaras opened the scoring for the team.

Everyone ran over to celebrate his goal.

In the 20th minute, Manchester City got a corner kick, Silva took it from the left, the high point in the Manchester City team, Samaras, Shevchenko, Joel Luka and Thiago Silva all inserted into the penalty area .

Everyone knows that the latter three are the header masters in the Manchester City team. Samaras' waist and abdomen strength is not enough, and he has no strength for headers.

However, at this moment, Portsmouth missed a point from the back, and Samaras took off violently, interfering with the opponent's defense.Thiago Silva picked up a pass from the back and put the football into the goal.

2: 0!

Thiago Silva was very happy after scoring the goal. This is his second official game with Manchester City and his first goal.

In the first half, Manchester City got several chances, but they all missed the goal.

At the beginning of the second half, Lao Lei replaced Diop and Utaka successively in order to change the situation. Portsmouth set off a wave of offensive climax on the field, almost threatening Manchester City's goal.

But Manchester City immediately counterattacked!
In the 54th minute, Yaya Toure launched an attack with a long pass. Shevchenko reciprocated and gave the ball to Samaras with a header. Samaras volleyed with his right foot from the front of the penalty area and the football hit the net.

3: 0!

Samaras scored twice!

The camera on the scene once again aimed the lens at Aguero on the bench.

Aguero bows his head to tie his shoelaces.

He knows that the unity of the team is above all else. If he shows any dissatisfaction, it is estimated that the newspapers will immediately regard Manchester City as a sign of internal strife.

He is not stupid!
Manchester City's show is not over yet!

In the 69th minute, Manchester City connected left and right, David Silva went straight into Pedro in the ribs, Pedro made a cross, and then Shevchenko easily hit an empty goal!
4: 0!

Four goals behind, Lao Lei knew that the situation was over, so he waved his hand dejectedly.

The Portsmouth players seem to have lost their fighting spirit.

Now that the opponent has given up, it's time for the main force to rest.

In the 73rd minute, Duncan waved the flag and Otamendi, Diego Milito and Stephen Ireland came off the bench, replacing Joel Luka, Shevchenko and David Silva respectively.

There are 20 minutes left in the game, but it seems that garbage time has arrived early.

But Manchester City's performance is not over yet.

In the 73rd minute, Ireland dribbled the ball past the defender and made a cross from the right. Diego Silva knocked back unselfishly. Samaras appeared in the position where he should appear, with a light header and scored the fifth goal of the team. .

5: 0.

Samaras scored a hat-trick!
In the 83rd minute, Pedro cut in from the left, Samaras pulled out of the arc of the penalty area, and then sent a through ball, Diego Milito slammed into the horse, a lob shot, the football entered Ports for the sixth time Mouth gate.

6: 0!

Samaras performed bravely, and finally Manchester City slaughtered Portsmouth with six goals.

At the end of the game, Aguero, together with many players on the bench, jumped up to celebrate the victory.

It's just that his fist is clenched tighter than anyone else.

Next game, watch me!
