Red Rebels

What Xiao Yu and many people did not expect was that Eriksson would use young players so boldly in the two European Cup qualifier group matches during the league break.

In the first game against Slovakia, Eriksson used Southgate and Curtis Davis in the central defender combination. This combination of the old and the young has both experience and the drive of young people. , can be said to be very reasonable, but there is no doubt that Southgate is indeed old.

Curtis was outstanding in the game, scoring a goal, the first in his first cap for the national team, which was scored with a header from Beckham's set-piece. It's the same as his cooperation with the Red Rebels and Juninho Jr.

In terms of defense, Curtis also performed very well. He was very stable when defending high balls, judged accurately, and was active in the attack. He hardly gave the Slovakian striker any chance from his side.

The team's only conceded goal was scored from Southgate's side. Although Curtis tried hard to defend him, he still couldn't stop the team from conceding the goal. Fortunately, it was a big win, so No one cared too much about a goal conceded.

But in the second game against Macedonia, Eriksson suddenly withdrew Southgate, reused John Terry of the Red Rebels to start, and partnered with Curtis as a central defender. This is very confusing to the outside world. , There are even many conspiracy theory reporters who believe that Eriksson must have been under pressure from some side.

However, in this game, England encountered Macedonia's tenacious resistance. The two central defenders Terry and Curtis cooperated very well. With the help of Gary Neville and Bridge, the entire England defense line was impenetrable. In particular, the two teenagers' filling and assisting defense after the two full-backs plugged in were impeccable.

It was a tough 0-1 away game with England narrowly winning but the centre-back duo of John Terry and Curtis were brutally tested in this game but they withstood it well The pressure, especially on Curtis, who started two games in a row was impeccable.

England, which has won two consecutive games, was interviewed by the media after the game. Captain Beckham praised Curtis and Terry, thinking that youth is a disadvantage for many defenders, which means that they lack experience, but in fact However, in Curtis and Terry, it has become an advantage, because they are experienced, young and have great prospects.

As a defensive partner, Gary Neville also admires these two young players very much. He thinks it is very comfortable to cooperate with them. They always know what to do, which is very reassuring. They are eligible to be selected for the national team. Take heavy responsibility.

The same praise came from other teammates, including Eriksson.

But everyone knows that when Ferdinand and Campbell recover from their injuries, Curtis and Terry may be difficult to play as the main players, but they should all be selected for the squad, even if their competitors are from the Premier League, not to mention Southgate , Woodgate, Essiogu and his like in the Premier League.

After returning from the national team, the team soon ushered in Nottingham Forest at home.

This is a team with an excellent history. There was a period of peak dominance in European football, but now Nottingham Forest is gradually declining, but their attack power in League One this season is very strong. Third, after the Red Rebels and Wolves.

This team is currently ranked 4th in the league and is also a very difficult opponent.

Due to the last round of the game against Millwall, the Red Rebels will have several main players facing suspension in this game, including Drogba, Essien and Curtis, especially Curtis, who has always been a new player. The core of Manchester United's defense, the suspension will have a considerable impact on the team's defense, especially in the case of his outstanding performance in the national team.

For this game,

Mourinho also attaches great importance to it. He pointed out at the pre-match press conference that the game against Nottingham Forest is the most difficult game for the new Manchester United so far this season, but he believes that the players will show the Red Rebels at home. Will and strength to get a satisfying result.

The starting lineup of the new Manchester United in this game has been adjusted to some extent. Villa is the striker, and Ronaldinho is on the left of the two wingers. Robben played the whole game in the Dutch youth team. Rest, right winger is Hleb.

The front midfielder is still Kaka, the two midfielders are Juninho Jr. and Senna, the defense line from left to right is Evra, Terry, Vidic and Kolo Toure, and the goalkeeper is Petr Cech.

The suspension of the two main players, one in front and one in the back, really made the outside world worry about the prospect of the new Manchester United in the face of this strong dialogue, especially when Nottingham Forest has such an excellent offensive power this season.

…………

At the beginning of the game, the new Manchester United took the lead in launching the offensive. Hleb's interspersed runs on the right were very frequent, especially in several clever dribbles, which frequently created threats for his teammates. Among them, he was in the first half. The sudden inside cut in the 14th minute was tripped at the front of the penalty area, helping the team deserve a free kick in the frontcourt.

Under the encouragement of his teammates, Juninho scored a free kick cleanly, 1:0!

After being led, Nottingham Forest played more fiercely than before, especially when attacking, they invested more troops, frequently threatening the new Manchester United's goal.

But the combination of Terry and Vidic performed very well. The former was as calm as ever, and the latter also replaced Curtis very well. It was frizzy, but the overall performance was still good, with several key steals and header clearances.

Behind them, Petr Cech, known as the number one goalkeeper in League One, made several beautiful saves to keep the goal clean.

During the intermission, Mourinho made some adjustments to his tactics. With Nottingham Forest focusing on marking Hleb and Kaka, he asked Ronaldinho to take on more offensive responsibilities and should run more. move.

After the start of the second half, Ronaldinho's performance really improved a lot. The team's main attack was on the left, and as a left winger, he frequently staged exquisite dribbles, constantly impacting Nottingham Forest's defense line, creating a great threat , but after the pass, the quality of the pass to the bottom line needs to be improved.

Considering the physical fitness of the players, Mourinho quickly replaced Kaka with Ribery and Hleb with Palacio.

Franck Ribery's attacking midfielder was also proposed by Xiao Yu before the season. He also showed a certain strength when he came off the bench several times. In addition, Palacio's performance on the wing was even better, so Mourinho played in the season. Ribery is also often used as Kaka's substitute.

After two players with plenty of physical fitness came on the field, the new Manchester United's offense has also improved, and the pressure on Ronaldinho is also less, and his performance is getting better and better, especially in the 78th minute near the corner of the penalty area Facing the double-team defense of the opponent's three players, he insisted on using his personal skills to fight his way out of it, entered the penalty area, attracted a foul from the opponent's defensive player, and got a penalty kick.

The Red Rebel fans in the stands were completely conquered by Ronaldinho, especially this time with the skills of three people in a row. It is difficult to see such delicate personal skills in the Premier League, even Palacio It may not be possible.

Originally the team's first penalty shooter was Juninho Jr., but when the latter was walking towards the penalty spot, he suddenly called Ronaldinho and signaled him to take the penalty kick.

Ronaldinho was a little surprised, but he still obeyed Juninho's arrangement and stood in front of the penalty spot.

Teammates came over one by one to encourage Ronaldinho, and some hugged him. This Portuguese teenager performed well in this game, and he worked very hard and worked hard in training, which made his teammates have a good impression of him. , if there is a goal at this time, then his game will be complete!

"Don't worry, Cristiano, you can do it!" Junior Juninho said with a smile.

Ronaldinho nodded gratefully to the captain, then took a few steps back, ran slowly, and then suddenly accelerated.

The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper misjudged the direction and rushed to the left.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldinho was very excited, turned around and ran to practice his long-awaited celebration after the goal, but Juninho behind him hugged him.

"Grab that goal, grab that goal!" Juninho Jr. pointed to the goal kicked towards midfield by the goalkeeper.

Ronaldinho was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered the scene when he was taken to visit the exhibition hall when he first arrived at the team. Ford opened up the exhibition hall, but Xiao Yu still transferred the exhibition hall to the Newton Heath training base.

When I first saw those footballs, Ronaldinho's first impression was that I also want to put my first goal in it and become a part of the history of this club.

Now that he scored a goal, he was so excited that he almost forgot.

After being reminded by Juninho, Ronaldinho immediately ran to the midfield, took the ball away when the Nottingham Forest players were stunned, then ran to the coach's bench, and gave the ball to the assistant coach. He also accepted the congratulations from the coaching staff, and then went to the sidelines to ask for a ball before returning to the court.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldinho was full of confidence and performed very well, especially on the left. He completely blew up Nottingham Forest's left. To play, in the 85th minute, after performing a light dribble on the left, he entered the penalty area and scored a goal against Villa.

3:0!

It was originally thought that it would be an extremely difficult game, but the new Manchester United proved their strength with a complete victory, especially Ronaldinho and Vidic, the two players who had just become big players, were even more powerful in the game. The performance was very eye-catching, and the former was elected the best player of the game.

And Ronaldinho also completely conquered the hearts of Red Rebel fans with this game!
