Red Rebels

Sure enough, as Mourinho expected.

From the beginning of the second half, Reading once again launched a fierce attack on the new Manchester United's defense. They used their numerical advantage to firmly grasp the situation on the field and attacked the new Manchester United's hinterland again and again.

The 10 players on the new Manchester United field held the same mind, and they no longer allowed Reading to score.

With the three central defenders consisting of Kolo Toure, Abidal and Terry in the middle, the two forwards of the Reading team had almost no role, but the two flanks frequently created threats.

Although Malouda and Hleb frequently retreated and defended according to Mourinho's requirements, they were not professional defenders. The team seized many opportunities.

Fortunately, Cech was very stable at this time, high blocking and low receiving, several times to resolve Reading's close shots, saving the new Manchester United's defense, and at the same time making the players more confident.

Mourinho was sitting with Xiao Yu in the stands. He kept an eye on the situation on the field, and then used Xiao Yu's mobile phone to contact Faria, and commanded the team through Faria and Cassell.

After 10 minutes of difficulty, the Reading team's attack subsided, but Mourinho felt that this was a precursor to a more violent attack by the Reading team, so he asked Faria to make a substitution and put some running away. The immobile Hleb was replaced, replaced by Bosingwa, the team returned to the back four, and then pushed Malouda to the forward line to partner with Drogba.

In fact, Drogba started from the last stage of the first half. He was more like a midfielder than a striker. He even frequently appeared in his own penalty area to participate in defense, especially in set-pieces or corner kicks. .

As a result, only one Malouda soldier is left in front of the new Manchester United, which makes people feel that the new Manchester United has given up the attack and intends to defend to the end.

Not long after the substitution, the head coach of Reading, who took a sigh of relief, made another substitution, replacing a striker and a defender. Obviously, he made up his mind to strengthen the offense and vowed to keep the 3 points. Madejski Stadium.

The new Manchester United is through tenacious defense to prove their determination not to be outdone.

The field is one-sided, but no matter whether it is the advantaged Reading fans or the disadvantaged new Manchester United fans, everyone has not given up their last hope. pressure on the other side.

Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the stands, kept his eyelids twitching. Every time the Reading team launched an attack, his heart rose. He believed that all those who supported the new Manchester United would feel this way.

However, the new Manchester United players on the field did not panic at all. Cassel frequently released the latest news of Mourinho on the sidelines, instructing the players to strengthen their defense. Although Reading also got a lot of opportunities, Cech performed very well. , the entire second half to defuse at least four of Reading's goal-defining shots.

"I'm starting to believe your words now, boss, he's really a genius!" Mourinho said convincingly.

Cech's performance was really surprising, especially his steadiness and his communication with his teammates on the court. He even frequently reminded the teammates in front of him to move and defend. At first, the teammates were a little hesitant, but after a few times, everyone They are all convinced, and they are all happy to hear his reminder.

It is precisely because of Cech's outstanding performance, coupled with the tenacious defense of the players on the field, that although the new Manchester United is at a disadvantage in numbers and passive on the scene, Reading has never been able to break the deadlock on the field.

This made Reading's players more and more impatient, and they even increased their actions frequently to anger the new Manchester United players.

After the injury of Almunia in the first half, the referee did not seem to dare to be so biased as in the first half. Occasionally a few obvious fouls by Reading team,

He's all made good decisions in favor of the new Manchester United.

However, in the 68th minute of the game, the new Manchester United had a successful counterattack against offside by Malouda, but was called offside by the referee, wasting a great scoring opportunity.

Even Martin Taylor scolded the quality and ability of the head coach. He felt that it was definitely a big mistake for the FA to arrange such a person to enforce such a key professional league, and it had an inescapable relationship.

Seeing the passing of minutes and seconds, Reading's offense has also dropped slightly. After all, it is impossible for any team to maintain a fast-paced offense in 45 minutes.

At this time, Mourinho decisively let Olic replace Malouda who performed well.

As soon as the latter came on the field, he immediately showed plenty of physical fitness. He ran around the field and participated in the defense. While helping the team fill in the loopholes, he was also observing the loopholes of the Reading team.

The Reading team, which has been unable to attack for a long time, constantly adjusted the lineup through substitutions. They replaced a midfielder and a central midfielder with excellent attacking ability to control the rhythm of the game, but Mourinho decisively let Dero The west position was advanced, suppressing the opponent's central midfielder, not giving him room to move, and making him useless.

Conversely, after De Rossi pressed forward, Drogba and Olic also followed suit. Their positions were closer to the opponent's defense, and only one Reading, who was defending the midfield, was against these two actively defending players. Also seems careless.

In their opinion, the team has firmly suppressed the new Manchester United, and they are most concerned about how to break the goal guarded by the Czechs, rather than worrying about the counterattack of the new Manchester United. Remind your players, but nothing changes.

On the field, the Reading team has already attacked, and no matter how much they shrink, they cannot shrink back because their core of controlling the rhythm is restricted.

On the surface, Reading still has the initiative, and waves of attacks flock to the new Manchester United, but in fact, the defense of the new Manchester United seems to be more stable than when the second half opened, almost giving nothing to Reading. The opportunity to face the goal directly, the central defender combination of Terry and Kolo Toure performed equally well, especially Toure, he is not tall, but he has good jumping ability, and has good physical confrontation ability and fast speed. Very flexible and eye-catching.

Seeing Toure's excellent performance on the field, and then seeing Cech's high block and low catch, repeatedly saving the new Manchester United from water and fire, Mourinho had to look at Xiao Yu beside him with admiration, and he decisively reminded Mu Rinho, Toure also played very well at center back. It was he who defied all opposition and gave Cech the special talent clause, for which he also endured a lot of criticism.

But now, these two players have proved their ability with iron facts, and also saved the new Manchester United.

If this game really wins as planned, the biggest contributor will not be Cech, who performed well in the audience, nor Toure, who performed well in the middle of the game, nor the stable captain on the field. inside.

It was the boss sitting next to him, Xiao Yu!

…………

…………

The Reading team attacked wildly for more than half an hour. Seeing that the game time passed every minute and every second, the Reading team used up the last substitution quota, and then planned to go all out and try to get three points.

However, the new Manchester United players are also very tenacious. Life and death do not give Reading a chance. First De Rossi suffered a cramp in both legs, and then even Essien, who is outstanding in physical fitness, followed suit. A burst of dissatisfied boos thought it was a deliberate delay by the new Manchester United players.

But in fact, the new Manchester United team doctor is very clear that the players are really working hard, and their physical fitness has reached a critical point.

But as soon as Essien and De Rossi came over, they jumped a few times, making sure they were all right, and ran on the court again.

It is precisely because of the players' will to never give up that Reading can't pry open the goal of the new Manchester United. In the last few minutes, they even involuntarily pressed the defense to the midfield, pressing the new Manchester United halfway. The game played, which made the fans almost hold their breath and worried about the team.

Orchi was panting heavily and sticking his tongue out. This is his habit. They all say that he is like a dog and can breathe back faster. Usually, such people can run better and have stronger endurance.

Olic knows that he is not a skilled player, and he also knows that his talent is really not very good, so he works very hard. Every time he plays, even if the coach only gives him a pitiful few minutes, he runs hard. .

He knew that being able to run was his only advantage now.

Then on the training ground, he kept increasing the amount of training for himself. He knew that his skills were poor, so he took the initiative to find Moniz, hoping that he could help him improve. For this reason, Moniz tailored a set for him. The technical strengthening training plan, let him follow this plan and repeatedly contact some basic movements.

It was very annoying. Those were the things that eight or nine-year-olds in the youth team were practicing, but Olic persisted. He knew that if he wanted to improve, he had to persevere.

He is neither Zidane nor Ronaldo, he can only improve himself bit by bit from this subtle point.

Whenever he was bored, he would go to see Drogba, the black big man was also doing some basic exercises, but he was also insisting, and then the two would make fun of each other invariably, and occasionally the youth team The little bastards will also come to join them, and they are very skilled and enviable.

The atmosphere of everyone practicing together made Olic feel very comfortable and liked it very much.

So he doesn't want to let that comfort slip away from the training base, and the best thing to do is to help the team win.

Constantly running back to the penalty area to participate in the defense, Olic seemed to be a tireless machine, running back and forth.

In the 88th minute, Olic took advantage of a negligence of the Reading players and suddenly jumped out from behind, stealing the football at the opponent's feet horizontally, and the ball came to Essien's feet.

"Bigfoot, Michael!" Orchi yelled, then turned and ran.

Without even thinking about it, Essien lifted his foot and passed it out with great strength, slightly to the right.

Orchi is like a super sports car with the accelerator pressed to the bottom, running, running, passing through the opponent's back waist and surpassing the opponent's guard.

Reading's goalkeeper was measuring the speed of the ball and Olic who was running. He didn't have to strike because he felt that Olic couldn't catch up with the ball.

But no one thought that Olic didn't give up, he stubbornly got rid of the opponent's defender, almost urged Gu to get out of his fastest and fastest speed, insisted on gnashing his teeth, and finally blocked the ball in front of the baseline.

At this moment, regardless of whether he scored or not, the new Manchester United fans at the scene responded with warm applause and cheers!
