Red Rebels

January 4, afternoon, Yeovil City, Hughes Gardens

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Hughes Gardens, which can accommodate 9,500 people, was eerily quiet.

This is not because no one watched the game. On the contrary, tonight's game attracted nearly 4,000 Yeovil City fans to the scene. Since Yeovil City is located on the southern coast of England, it is too far away from Manchester. Therefore, the number of new Manchester United fans following the team is not large.

What really silenced them was the score on the scoreboard, 1:2!

The new Manchester United's starting lineup made a lot of changes in this game. Zikic still firmly occupies the position of the main striker. The striker with him is Crouch. The latter performed well in this game. Zikic scored a goal with an assist in the first half, and he also scored a goal in the second half with a through pass from Juninho. He was the best player in the game.

From left to right in the midfield are Krzynovic, Juninho Jr., Paulson and the outstanding Hleb, while the defense is from left to right Evra, Gareth Na, Distin and Stamsson, the goalkeeper is Schmeichel.

Although most of the main players played, the new Manchester United did not show their due combat effectiveness. Obviously affected by the continuous combat during the winter break, the players seemed a little careless at the beginning, and Yeovil City took the lead.

But after conceding a goal first, the new Manchester United was awakened instead. They did not show any impatience or collapse. Instead, they carried out the team's tactics steadily, and finally equalized the score in the first half, and achieved a comeback in the second half.

After winning this game, due to Boston's home loss to Morecambe, the lead of the new Manchester United was once again stretched to 6 points, and the second place Boston was only 1 point away from the third place Morecambe , Kidderminster and Duver are only 3 points away from the fourth and fifth, and there is still Kingston, who is 4 points away from the sixth in the league.

With the score so tight, the new Manchester United obviously has the biggest advantage. After all, they have already begun to throw off other opponents. As for the second to fifth in the league, they obviously began to focus on the chasers behind them. After all, as long as you enter the top five in the league, you will have a chance to qualify for promotion.

But even so, the new Manchester United still dare not be careless. Bruce knows that the bench players of the new Manchester United this season are not strong, and the current third-line battle is obviously not a long-term solution. Rossi was once again promoted to the first team and started in the FA Cup Winners Cup on 8 January.

In addition to De Rossi, the new Manchester United's starting lineup for this game also has many players who are difficult to get a chance to play this season. For example, the two forwards are Jonathan Maten and Kitson, and the two wingers are Rich. Wellens and Darren Lyons, who is back from injury, and De Rossi's partner is Steven Smith.

At the back, Evra rested and Roy Williams started in his place, Gareth Turner and Danny Collins partnered at centre-back, Kevin Evan at right-back and Almunia in goal.

This can almost be said to be the second team of the new Manchester United. Among them, De Rossi, who played as a midfielder, represented the new Manchester United for the first time, so before the game, everyone had already guessed that this was a game that was given up by Bruce. .

But who would have thought that in such a game that had not been expected much, the new Manchester United substitutes slaughtered Basingstoke City from the Isthmian Premier League with a score of 5:0 at home. Team, in which Jonathan Matten and Kitson each scored two goals, Ricky Willens performed well and scored one goal.

However, De Rossi, who really attracted Xiao Yu's attention, did not perform too well. As a defensive midfielder, he succeeded in 30 of 37 passes, 6 of 7 steals, and 4 of 6 headers. , of which two headers were key clearances,

There were also 5 interceptions, 3 shots, no goals and no assists.

When Xiao Yu took over the data from Marin after the game, he felt a little disappointed. After all, in his memory, De Rossi was a player with both offensive and defensive skills, but in this game, he was in the offensive position. On the other hand, he didn't have any brilliant performance, but he did a good job defending.

It is estimated that this has something to do with Bruce's arrangement of him as a midfielder. After all, Steven Smith and Darren Lyons are the core players of the new Manchester United in this game.

"Forget it, it's gold, and it will shine sooner or later!" Xiao Yu comforted himself with a smile.

Just as he put away the report and was about to leave the city stadium, his cell phone rang.

"Hi, hello, Xiao Yu!" This sentence has almost become Xiao Yu's mantra when answering the phone.

"Scarlett, are you free now?" The sweet voice of the beautiful neighbor came from the phone.

Xiao Yu took off the phone and checked the time, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Scarlett smiled a little strangely, "I want to ask you, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Look, when my team wins, I always like to read newspapers!" Xiao Yu chuckled. When I read newspapers when I win, all I see are praises. It's a bitter criticism.

"It's a good habit!" Scarlett laughed, "Then you must have seen Edwards' interview?"

Xiao Yu's smile froze, "Of course, that idiot got himself into so much trouble and dared to provoke me!"

Just two days ago, a domestic media in Brazil first published that a dental clinic receptionist named Maria Elvis broke the news to the newspaper. She met Edwards in a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro, and despite his disguise, she recognized him immediately after she often followed football.

Edwards apparently went to the nightclub to have fun, and fell in love with Maria. The two parties negotiated the price, went to the hotel to open a room, and paid her 160 US dollars afterwards. At the same time, Maria also fooled the two parties The hotel and room number were told to the reporter.

The newspapers in Brazil immediately verified the incident, and found that all of Maria's revelations were true. This immediately caused an uproar in Brazil. In addition, Manchester United lost to Dajia in the first round of the World Club Championship. Ma, this immediately plunged Edwards into a peachy whirlpool.

But what Xiao Yu didn't expect was that Edwards would openly accept the reports of the British media at this time, and attack the new Manchester United wantonly, thinking that the new Manchester United was using the name of Manchester United to hype, which made the new Manchester United and the fans feel very upset annoyed.

Of course, no one expected that this interview with Edwards would happen before this incident!

Scarlett on the phone giggled, she could imagine that Xiao Yu must be gnashing his teeth at this moment.

"Then I guess, you should want to get a chance to fight back, what do you think?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay then, Ms. Scarlett reporter, I agree to your request for an exclusive interview, but only this time, don't make an exception!"

In order to get an exclusive interview with Xiao Yu, Scarlett had talked with Xiao Yu several times, but every time, Xiao Yu refused, because he didn't think it was a good thing for the owner of a club to be the limelight.

The best club owner should make contributions behind the team in obscurity, provide the transfer fee when the head coach needs it, and bring him the players the team needs, instead of competing with the team for the limelight.

"Hehe, then I'll take it as if you agreed to my invitation?" Scarlett smiled happily, she finally invited Xiao Yu.

"That's right, Miss Reporter, if you're so unsure again, I'll consider cheating!"

Scarlett nodded immediately, "Then I can start making arrangements!"

"Well, the time and place, let me know when it's arranged, it's best to choose a Chinese restaurant, treat me to dinner!" Xiao Yu felt that he should get back some of the cost.

"Okay, after the video is over, I'll invite you to eat Chinese food on Faulkner Street!"

"Video recording? What do you mean?" Xiao Yu was taken aback.

Scarlett smiled slyly and said: "Manchester's local Granada TV invited me to be the host of a football program. I was having a headache. I was looking for someone to be the guest of my first program. Finally, I remembered you , I didn't expect you to accept it so readily this time!"

Xiao Yu screamed in his heart that he had been fooled. This ghost girl didn't say she was on TV before, but she thought it was an ordinary interview.

"Don't go back on your word, Mr. Xiao Yu, otherwise, I will expose your cheating on the show and see how you deal with it then!" Scarlett seemed to have expected that Xiao Yu would refuse, so she put down her face ruthlessly. talk.

Xiao Yu smiled wryly, he really fell for Scarlett this time, "Could it be that this program is only planning to invite me alone?"

The implication is, if I'm the only one invited, will this show have any ratings?

"Naturally, talk shows are all about football. As for the ratings, you don't have to worry. I think the organizers will do a good job of promoting the show before it airs. You probably don't know yet. How popular are you in Manchester?"

"You won't be better than Edwards, right?" Xiao Yu satirized his opponent with a wry smile.

Scarlett giggled beautifully, "You guy! Although you are not more famous than him, your reputation is much better than him. Even many Manchester City fans have a good impression of you. You definitely Stronger than him!"

When Xiao Yu heard it, he didn't care whether it was true or not, anyway, he just felt good in his heart.

Most of these people like to be vain, but some people go too far, while others suppress it deliberately, Xiao Yu is caught between the two, he also has vanity, but he will not go out for vanity. do certain things.

"Okay, Ms. Scarlett reporter, you convinced me, but you have to promise me that I can say anything I want on the show, otherwise I will definitely not say a word when I go."

"Of course, otherwise why would I ask you to come?" Scarlett smiled and agreed, "Also, don't always call me so strangely, after all, I have been a neighbor for a year, and I make an exception to allow you to call me Scarlett!"

"It seems that I should really feel honored!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
