Born to be a coach [soccer]

The FA Cup knockout match between Sunderland and Portsmouth, like the other semi-final, was bought by Sky Sports, so it was played by Andy Gray and Richard Keys Responsible for commentary.

Andy Gray and Richard Keys have been chatting ahead of the game about the latest social media buzz: glasses.As senior commentators, they discussed for a long time, and the result of the discussion between the two straight men was: a football coach should be more practical. As for which one is more handsome, it shouldn't be that important, anyway, Anton Already good enough.

Richard said with a mournful face: "The key is the last sentence. People wearing glasses may be the icing on the cake, but our glasses are..."

Andy shrugged, deliberately put on a pair of reading glasses, and pretended to be struggling to read the explanatory materials in front of him.

But not long after the game started, the "accident" happened.Andy was the first to speak in surprise: "What happened? What happened on the sidelines?"

Richard hurriedly followed: "It was the Portsmouth players who bumped into the head coach of Sunderland who was directing the game from the sidelines, and seemed to... crush his glasses!"

Oh my god, what did you say? Could it be that God sent Portsmouth players to crush Anton's glasses just because the Yan Party in England wanted to see Anton without glasses?

"It looks like the manager of Sunderland is very angry. He seems to think that the other party stepped on his glasses on purpose. Let's take a look at the replay..."

Before Andy finished speaking, Richard seemed to jump up from his chair and said loudly: "Look, Anton's 'Kung Fu'!"

These two are the leading "famous mouths" of Sky Sports. Before each commentary, they will collect detailed information related to participating clubs and players, and even some small details will not be let go. Where did I hear the rumor: "Anton knows 'Chinese Kung Fu'."

"But if he really hits a Portsmouth player, he will not only be sent to the stands by the referee on duty, but will also be punished by the FA." Andy said coolly beside him, " If he is a mature coach, he must endure this tone, he must endure this tone—”

At the same time, many people could hear Russell yelling from the sidelines: "Anton, calm down!"

Really, such a calm person at ordinary times!Russell was almost dying of anxiety on the coach's bench: Isn't this kid always laughing at him for being irritable?So suddenly said that the hair will be fried?

As soon as Russell's words fell, Anton had already let go of his hand: not only did he let go, but he also helped the frightened Portsmouth player straighten the jersey neckline that he had just pulled crookedly. Pat each other on the shoulder.Anton seemed to say something to the player, and the player turned back to the sideline in a daze.

The referee had already blown Portsmouth's throw-in. At this time, he signaled the Portsmouth players to take the throw-in.

At this time, the fourth official has also rushed to the sidelines, but seeing Anton's seemingly "friendly" release of the Portsmouth players, he thought he had just misread: the Sunderland coach just now " "Should" is just to help the opponent's player up, but it's a bit fierce and a bit informal, and he "helps" up as soon as he pulls the collar.

So the fourth official also retreated, and gestured to the referee, indicating that everything was fine.

Only the Portsmouth player who "bumped" Anton witnessed Anton's anger with his own eyes.It wasn't until he returned to the sideline in a daze to prepare for the throw-in, that the anger in Anton's eyes that seemed to be gushing out just now, and the coldness that turned into coldness later, made his calves tremble.

So the player threw the ball back to Sunderland in a daze.It just so happened that Horton also kicked the ball out of the sideline for Anton, and it was not a big deal for Portsmouth to return the ball.

But the two famous mouthpieces of Sky Sports continued to explode.

The director in charge of the broadcast seemed to know that "glasses" was a hot spot, so he played the "crashing" and "stomping" actions repeatedly twice.Andy yelled in the studio: "It was on purpose, on purpose!"

Richard kept his voice calm and sped up his speech: "The slow motion shows very clearly that before the Portsmouth No. 41 crashed into Anton, his body had a very obvious change of direction, and his right leg was swollen. Only when he was too strong would he knock down the head coach of Sunderland squarely. But in this situation, even if a professional player cannot stop, he will find a way to avoid it sideways...God!"

Richard also lost his composure, because the director cut a close-up shot of the moment when the Portsmouth players stepped on Anton's glasses. What is surprising is that Anton's glasses fell apart sadly when he stepped on them. Instead, the player's feet also had an obvious pause and change of direction, and they stepped on Anton's glasses.

"Let's talk about conspiracy theories. If the Portsmouth players really stomped Anton's glasses on purpose, what was he trying to do? Could it be that Anton couldn't direct the game without the glasses? asked Andy loudly.

Richard added on the side: "It seems to be, otherwise why would the Sunderland manager be so angry? It must be because it has a huge impact on the game."

But Andy said: "But looking at the 'retro' style of those glasses, maybe it's just a commemorative significance rather than its actual function? Look how miserable those broken glasses are, even the frame is broken..."

These two people, you talk to each other, it's really not a big deal to watch the excitement.

At this time, the director has already reminded in the headset: "The game has restarted, please return to the ball game!"

The two "famous mouths" shrugged their shoulders and quickly turned the topic back to the ongoing competition.

——So, after Anton lost his glasses, can he really not direct the game?

The broadcast director is also very badass. Once there is a dead ball or when the confrontation is not so intense, the screen of the broadcast camera will cut to Anton. It seems that the people of England are invited to appreciate Anton's "plain makeup" without glasses—— But as long as the TV viewers are careful enough, they can find that Anton is angry, and not lightly:

He pursed his lips tightly from beginning to end, his brows were slightly furrowed, his pair of gray-blue eyes were no longer open, but the gloomy look in his eyes was so gloomy that it made one's heart shudder.The pair of spectacles that had been crushed had been put away in his pocket with great care, and his hands hidden in his sleeves had been tightly clenched into fists, as if he was struggling to control and refused to swing them out.Although this kind of anger did not damage his handsome appearance in the slightest, it was contagious——

All Sunderland players can feel it.

The fans at the scene can feel it.

The audience watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV can also feel it.

Eriksson looked at the captain Garner on the field and said: "The boss must have been bullied! It's just that his glasses will never make him so angry." After all, Eriksson did it himself. once.

Garner was unambiguous, and said: "Today's game, we can't finish it until we get back the field for the boss!"

At this time, Eriksson turned his head to look at the sidelines, and suddenly became happy: "The boss is fine! He can see clearly! He is telling us to press forward and attack!"

Indeed, Anton was making a gesture on the sidelines, indicating that Henderson and Eriksson should move forward respectively. Sunderland immediately put on a massive offensive and full pressure formation against Portsmouth. .

The opponent was bullying their own head coach. At this time, none of the Sunderland players would spare their physical strength. They were galloping on the field under the organization of captain Garner, and the whole scene was immediately beaten to life.

Shaqiri and Nubel galloped on the left and right wings, tearing at Portsmouth's defense mercilessly.Vardy doesn't seem to be "active" in the middle, he just seems to be wandering around at will, but once Portsmouth's central defenders are confused by this "illusion", Vardy will be completely unexpected by them. location appears.

Since that "accident" began, the ball has been firmly in the hands of Sunderland.Even if Portsmouth snatched it occasionally, Sunderland's players immediately stepped forward to counter-grab, snatched the ball back on the spot, and re-attacked the opposing fans.

For the vast majority of the first half, the ball did not go out of the Portsmouth side's half.Sunderland's goalkeeper Halldosson has nothing to do, so he can only move around the goal by himself so as not to lose his competitive state.

And Anton, who was on the sidelines, always had a sullen face, and his raised right hand always made the "forward" gesture.It seemed that Anton was determined to let the opponent see what a strong attacking force was, what an unreserved and fearless offensive spirit was.

His eyes are focused, he stares closely at the fast-running players on the field, sometimes concentrating on fast thinking, and sometimes shouts at the players, pointing out their positions - not at all like a person suffering from severe myopia , People with limited vision.

Seeing the completely one-sided scene on the field, the two commentators sitting in the live broadcast room were stunned. Andy Gray shook his head and sighed while watching: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...Sunderland, it turned out to be like this A bloody team."

This is no longer the "black cat" that people are familiar with, and it is no longer that dexterous and cunning human pet, only silently spying on each other's flaws.The black cat in front of him showed its sharp claws without hesitation, showing its wildest and most ferocious side.

When the half-time whistle blew, Richard Keith looked at the scoreboard with a look of astonishment on his face, half excited and half shocked, and said: "Sunderland scored four goals in the first half, and the opponent Ports scored four goals. Mouth couldn't even fight back, it was a bloody massacre—"

In the first half, Sunderland's score against Portsmouth turned out to be 4:0.
