Red Rebels

After the win over Sheffield Wednesday, the final round of the league has little meaning.

For Derby County's league match, Mourinho has clearly begun to think about the FA Cup final on May 17. He sent players from the pure bench lineup, the striker is Ismail, and the left is Parr. Lacio, Messi on the right, Ribery on the front, De Rossi and Yaya Toure on the back, and Philippe Ram, Vidic and Kie on the back line from left to right Lini and Colo Toure, the goalkeeper is Almunia.

Although it is a substitute lineup, whether it is a versatile player like Palacio, or players such as De Rossi, Yaya Toure, Vidic, and even Almunia, the number of appearances this season has reached two. Many young players also often come off the bench, and in the League Cup it has almost become a training ground for bench players.

Although it was an insignificant league, the bench players still showed a strong desire to win, whether it was Ismail or Messi, or De Rossi and others behind him, all of them showed great enthusiasm. effort.

In the end, the team relied on Ribery's long shot from the back row in the first half and a corner kick opportunity in the second half. Yaya Toure took the corner kick from Palacio to score the goal and scored 0:2 Away win against Derby County.

After the last round of the league, this season's League One ranking was finally settled.

Won the league championship, Portsmouth ranked second, and won the third to sixth in the league. The four teams participating in the promotion play-offs are Sheffield United, Leicester City, Wolves and Nottingham Forest. This season's newly-promoted Reading team once ranked third in the league, but lacked stamina and eventually fell to seventh, missing the promotion play-off qualification.

While several other teams are still focusing on the last place to be promoted to the Super League, Shang and Xia have already begun to enter the tense preparations for the decisive battle of the two major cups. The first to bear the brunt is undoubtedly the FA Cup final on the 17th.

Arsenal have entered the FA Cup final for three consecutive years. In 2001, they were defeated by the talented star Owen, the golden boy of England. The latter scored twice to help Liverpool reverse Arsenal. In 2002, they won the FA. Cup, and now in 2003 they once again entered the FA Cup final.

As the double winner last season, Arsenal had great ambitions this season, but in the end they failed to achieve the desired results. They once led Manchester United by as much as 8 points during the season, but in the end they were reversed by Manchester United again. .

In the Champions League, they stopped in the second round of the group stage, and the League Cup was also eliminated in advance. At the beginning of the season, they once shouted that they would defend the league title and compete for Arsenal, which had gained something in the Champions Cup. In the end, only the FA Cup was left.

Many English media have hailed this FA Cup final as Arsenal's last fig leaf, because if they fail to win the FA Cup, as the defending champion of the league and cup, Arsenal will face the embarrassment of nothing this season.

However, Arsenal's situation recently is not very ideal. First of all, there are injuries. Campbell was suspended and Edu underwent surgery. These two generals are destined to miss this game. In addition, Lauren and Sigan are also recovering from injuries. Can they catch up? The last game is still unknown.

But that's not all, what really made Xiao Yu applaud was Vieira's "rebellion"!

This player has always been linked with Real Madrid. Florentino values ​​Vieira very much and hopes that he can join Real Madrid. The latter is also arguing with the club over salary issues. It was Vieira who scolded Vieira in the newspapers, thinking that he threw the arsenal that cultivated him into the English Channel for money.

Vieira retorted and scolded Hillwood. The quarrel between the two made the English media applaud and made Wenger very upset.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Ljungberg's return from injury, he should be able to catch up with this key battle!

……………… "According to the information we have received, Vieira has been punished internally by Wenger, plus he has just returned from injury,

The state is not very stable. With Wenger's surname, I am afraid he will not take the risk of starting him in the FA Cup final. "

At the tactical seminar, Boas spoke about his recent spying on Arsenal.

"Ljungberg is back from injury. In the absence of people in the middle, Wenger is likely to let Parlour as the central midfielder, partner with Gilberto Silva in the middle, use Ljungberg to attack the right, and the left. It's French Pires."

Arsenal's two flanks are very capable of attacking, especially their left flank. Henry is used to playing on this side, plus Pires and Ashley Cole behind him, let alone this left flank. In the Premier League, even in the whole of Europe, which team can beat Arsenal?

"Arsenal's form has been very good recently. They beat Southampton 6-1 and Sunderland 4-0. They are red-eyed. I believe that in the game, they will definitely cause us considerable trouble, especially Henry. , this player is getting better and better at Arsenal, and he will definitely be the focus of our focus in this game."

Mourinho did not speak, just listened quietly, but from his solemn expression, it was not difficult to see that he was thinking of ways to deal with it, and if we look at the position, the responsibility of marking Henry will undoubtedly fall. on Curtis' shoulders.

To limit Arsenal, it is necessary to limit Arsenal's left, and Mourinho is very clear that the team's tactics must be adjusted accordingly.

"Arsenal's offense is very strong, but their defense has a lot of hidden dangers. Campbell's absence will be their most fatal flaw. Segan should not be able to catch up with this game. The absence of two central defenders will become our opportunity. I guess, with Wenger's spleen name, he will use veteran Keown, the other player is likely to be Luyni, and then use Lauren to play on the right."

Luyuni is 35 years old this year, Keown is 37 years old this year, and with the addition of 40-year-old goalkeeper Seaman, Arsenal's back line has entered an aging period. This is also the biggest drawback of Arsenal in recent years. Are older.

"The striker partner should be Henry, Bergkamp and Wiltord each, I personally think it should be Bergkamp."

Mourinho frowned a little, feeling the pressure on his shoulders, because the team's hopes for the whole season were pinned on him, which made him feel a lot of pressure.

"Okay, Jose, you haven't had a good rest these days, it's almost time to eat!" Cassel saw him like this, and stood up voluntarily to end the tactical discussion.

Having sent Cassell and Boas away, Mourinho sat in the office for a while and read some reports on Arsenal from Boas, but it seemed like that.

In fact, when the FA Cup final opponent was decided, they never relaxed their spying on Arsenal. I believe Arsenal is the same. It can be said that both sides are very familiar with each other. The only trouble is who can suppress the opponent tactically.

There is no doubt that Mourinho has a better card than Wenger because he now has access to all the players in the team, except for Redondo, who always plays a game and then rests several times.

Speaking of Redondo, Mourinho suddenly wanted to see him.

I walked out of the office in the training building, went downstairs, and went directly to the swimming pool next to the training building.

The swimming pool is built next to the indoor football stadium. It is specially provided for players to recover and train. The indoor swimming pool can be adjusted in depth, and many recovery trainings in the laboratory are arranged here.

One of Redondo's most recent workouts involves walking in water, which is said to help him with a knee injury.

Entering the indoor football stadium, in addition to Redondo, unexpectedly, Xiao Yu was also there.

"Haha, I happened to be talking about you to Fernando, and you're here!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Mourinho came to the edge of the swimming pool and found a place to sit down, "What about me?"

"The boss is saying that you have had more gray hair recently, and you have become haggard. You are getting old before you get old!" Redondo said with a smile, but the more he looked, the more he felt that Mourinho was getting old.

"It seems that this head coach is really not a job that anyone can do. The pressure is too great!" Redondo said with emotion.

"But the sense of achievement is also great, especially when you stand on the sidelines, watching the players on the field, and defeating your opponents time and time again according to the tactics you have arranged. That sense of accomplishment is incomprehensible to outsiders." Murray Neo retorted.

Xiao Yu laughed, "So it depends on the person. If you are like me, you will not be able to adapt to the life of the head coach, but you, Jose, I think you are born to eat this bowl of rice!"

After listening to Mourinho, he seemed to want to see through the deep meaning of Xiao Yu's words, but the latter quickly changed the subject.

"I recently heard from Professor Friar that walking in water is very helpful for the recovery of the legs. He said that it is because the buoyancy of the water can reduce the burden on the feet, but I think it is still It doesn't work very well because the water itself has a lot of resistance to the feet."

Mourinho and Redondo were a little confused. They didn't understand why Xiao Yu was suddenly involved in this, and he still looked like an expert. Could it be that he suddenly became interested in the recovery of sports injuries?

"I mentioned to Professor Friar that I was thinking that maybe I could wrap a treadmill with a new sealed material, and then inject air pressure into it, so that the air pressure lifts the body and relieves the burden on the feet. , and the air does not have resistance like water, so the feet can still move freely and have a therapeutic effect."

Mourinho and Redondo still couldn’t understand, which made Xiao Yu feel like a failure, but he once again plagiarized the principle of the low-gravity treadmill from his previous life, and then let the people in the laboratory find a way, or Look for cooperative manufacturers to develop, after all, this will be of great help to the recovery of any kind of sports injury. 360 search:(.*)☆\\\\Half^floating^sheng//☆=

In the previous NBA, many basketball players and athletes in other fields used this kind of equipment, and it is said that the effect is very good.

But no matter how good the effect is, for Mourinho and Redondo, they are undoubtedly ducks listening to thunder, and they don't understand!

"Okay, guys, I admit, I played the qin to the cow, but when you see the real thing in the future, you will find out how great this is what I said!" Xiao Yu rarely admitted defeat.

Seeing him like this, Mourinho and Redondo burst into laughter.

The former's laughter undoubtedly greatly diluted the pressure brought by Arsenal, and many troubles were also swept away in the laughter, and this was exactly the effect Xiao Yu deliberately wanted to achieve.

He couldn't help Mourinho tactically and in games, he had to find a way in other ways.

In addition, he also specially prepared a gift for Wenger!
