At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

Of course, it was necessary to celebrate reaching the top of the English Championship. Zhou Xu invited the players and staff to a big party. Of course, the big party was not important. What was important was that three days after the game ended and there was only one day left before the match with Portsmouth on November 22, the chief doctor of Nottingham Forest found Zhou Xu and told him a bad news.

"A month?"Zhou Xu asked again without giving up.

"Yes, Chairman, it will take about a month."Chief doctor Offord adjusted his glasses and said slowly.

The team's starting midfielder, who comes from France with a historical level of talent, and started to like playing football under the leadership of Zhou Xu, Pogba, because of a jump during a training session It resulted in an ankle injury.

Although Zhou Xu didn't know what kind of injury it was, looking at the examination in the team doctor's report, Zhou Xu also understood that the injury should be quite serious.

It seemed that at least the rest of 2012 would be very serious.

It is difficult to play in the game.

This injury also forced Zhou Xu to adjust the starting lineup for the match against Portsmouth.

Portsmouth was also an old opponent in the League Cup championship. The opponent is Portsmouth.

Portsmouth has performed very poorly this season. This is the third head coach since Notts County defeated Portsmouth because Urs was fired not long ago. Under Urs' rule, Portsmouth only achieved 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in 15 league games for some reason. It went from the 7th place at the end of the promotion play-offs predicted by the media to the 22nd place in the relegation zone.

Urs took over. It is Rehman who is unknown both as a player and as a coach. Rehman has only taken over Portsmouth for 18 days. Since taking over Portsmouth on November 4, Portsmouth has lost to Middlesbrough and Nan'an. The three-game losing streak between Purton and Derby County has also made the unknown Rehman even more questionable.

In this game, due to Pogba's injury, Fred appeared in Pogba's position, and Wang Chu was.

Fred's partner.

Because they will play against Reading, which is ranked 12th in the league, Zhou Xu has made a large rotation.

After all, the opponent is Portsmouth, which is ranked 22nd, and there will be a super super in the defense in the future.

Karius, who made a huge low-level mistake, started the game, Robertson continued to start in the defense, Ilori and Maguire partnered, and Niemann played on the wing.

The midfield position of Kanter is almost fixed and irreplaceable. Fred. He and Wang Chu are today's partners.

There is no perfect substitute for Mane in the frontcourt. Mahrez starts to replace Salah, forward Vardy rests, and Origi starts the game for Portsmouth. The main goal is a 4-3-3 formation with two attacking midfielders and no wingers. Portsmouth has five players in the midfield.

The first goalkeeper is Ashdown from England. The goalkeeper who played against Notts County last season is still on the ball. Steffen from Ireland was the starter when they played against Notts County last season. He is the second goalkeeper of the Portsmouth team. Ashdown is characterized by his quick reaction and high jump. Although he is 1.91 meters. He is not very high among goalkeepers, but coupled with his excellent jumping, he is very effective in defending against threats in the air.

In addition to technical aspects and mental attributes, the 31-year-old Ashdown has rich experience, including Reading, Playing for Arsenal, Bournemouth, Norwich and other teams, his rich experience on the field is also a valuable asset.

The left back is a talented English player with fast speed, excellent shooting ability and good dribbling skills. Erkin. He played 12 games for Portsmouth in the league this season and handed in 1 goal and 3 assists. Currently ranked 22nd and all players are in bad shape, the winger is working hard as a full-back. Mulkin, who is learning defensive skills, is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air in the Portsmouth locker room.
