Red Rebels

Four hundred games without a winner

Some people say that when the West Stand at Old Trafford is filled with cheers, Manchester United must have won!

This practice was ironclad in the past and has been confirmed by countless games, but from now on, it must be rewritten, because the West Stand cheered, as if celebrating the triumph of heroes in battle, although most of them Tears hung on his face, blurring the oil paint that covered his entire face.

But they are still cheering desperately!

Did Manchester United win?

Ironic, no!

Look at Ferguson standing outside the coaching area, roaring at the players on the field, he can't wait to rush up and tear all the players in half, and then look at the ball on the court wearing a white, green and gold striped jersey. , Manchester United, wearing the home red jersey, seemed not to have a strong fighting spirit.

If you use Andy Gray's words, the Manchester United players obviously played too much with women last night. They obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

The big red scoreboard ironically shows the current score, 0:4!

International practice, the home team in the front, the visiting team in the back!

There are less than a few minutes left in the game, the defeat is set, and the offensive has obviously relaxed, especially Beckham, who is in charge of controlling the rhythm of the game. In the last 10 minutes, he hardly felt even the slightest bit from Manchester United. Defensive pressure, but he chooses more knockbacks and crosses.

Although Ferguson kept signalling the players to press on the sidelines, almost none of the Manchester United players on the field could implement the coach's intention. The only captain who could show the will of the Red Devils in the face of adversity, Keane, was sitting in the stands with injuries on his body. of him did not appear in the lineup.

No one thought that the Red Devils derby would become a one-sided scoring game. After the first 10 minutes of familiarity, they completely controlled the situation on the field. In the face of tacit cooperation, Manchester United looked very chaotic on the field, especially In midfield, almost completely suppressed.

The players have no fighting spirit, which makes them unable to form strong pressure on the field. In addition, Ferguson overemphasizes the full-court pressing, hoping to borrow the experience of last season and freeze again, but this proved to be a failure.

There has been little change in personnel this season. Palacio has gone, Robben and Messi are competing for positions, but there are three major changes in tactics that have to be mentioned.

The first is the insertion of Kaka's back row, Drogba's piercing up and down, the interference of the two flanks, coupled with Kaka's excellent ability to dribble the ball in the middle, making the tactics of inserting the front waist and back row very secret. It is fatal, which is also the reason for some discomfort at the beginning of the season, but as the schedule deepens, the performance is getting better and better, and Kaka's performance this season is also very good.

Secondly, the task of the double lower back has changed.

As the frontcourt suppression tactics become more and more proficient, the pressure on the midfielder is reduced, which makes Mourinho start to think about how to integrate the midfielder into the offensive system. The two midfielders are a waste of money, but if they don't, they don't seem to be reliable enough.

For stability, let Mourinho resolutely play the double midfielder, but how to make the double midfielder participate in the offense is a difficult problem for the coaching staff to solve. Now, this problem has also been overcome!

Beckham has gained more running space and freedom, and his partner, whether it is Essien or De Rossi, when the team's offense can't open the situation, the back row is inserted, and the deep assault has also become a A major offensive tool, Essien, who paid for the first time after Ramadan, scored twice in this game against Manchester United, with a long shot and a header from the penalty area.

This season, it has only conceded 5 goals in the first 15 rounds of the league, which is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League, and scored 43 goals, the team with the most goals in the Premier League.

This is also a major feature, creating a sharp offensive weapon on the basis of a solid defense.

However, the firm defense, which is known as the typical all-offense and all-defense, is not based on a reinforced concrete-like defensive structure.

On the contrary, the two central defenders this season have also begun to gradually participate in the attack.

Curtis has always had the habit of participating in the offense. He is in a stalemate in the midfield. Curtis's quick dribbling with the ball is an effective way to change the rhythm instantly. The impact and destructive power are amazing, and they can often pierce through the opponent's defense system unexpectedly.

But this season, Mourinho arranged for Terry to dribble the ball forward frequently, but he has different characteristics from Curtis. He is more stable and precise, and he belongs to the type who does not make merit and does not make mistakes, but the central defender itself can push forward. Brings a huge transformation to the midfield and instantly changes the situation on the field.

Of course, no matter if it is a double midfielder, a double winger, a left and right fullback or a double central defender, Mourinho's tactics all adhere to a principle, that is, balance. The back midfielder pushed forward at the same time, which caused the team's defense line to be exposed to the opponent's attacking firepower.

As for the forward move of the central defender, it is playing with fire in other teams, but the frontcourt always maintains a strong pressure. Once all players lose the ball, they immediately turn from attacking to defending and engage in on-the-spot counter-attacks, so it is difficult for the opponent's counterattack to work. This makes it difficult to counter-attack even if the ball is intercepted by the central defender, because the full-back and another central defender must have taken his place.

It is in this tight system that an unbreakable defense is always maintained, and a very sharp offense is at the same time.

……………… In this game, Ferguson's full-court pressing tactics once again provided a typical example of failure, that is, they were not afraid of full-court pressing, and they were only helpless against the iron barrel formation.

The 4 goals scored by him were like 4 sharp knives, stabbing straight into Manchester United's chest, but what made the Red Devils lose their morale even more was that the 12th man on the field, on which they were originally proud, turned away and voted.

Looking around, banners were pulled up from the huge West Stand, full of words cursing the Glazer family and opposing the acquisition. At the same time, some banners said that after the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, they would refuse to come back. Watching the game at Rufford Stadium, they will refuse to be a member of the Red Devils fan, refuse to buy anything from the Red Devils.

"Don't let the evil capitalists make even a penny from us!"

If you look at it with the naked eye, the West Stand is still a sea of ​​blood red, which is the permanent color of the West Stand, but if you distinguish it carefully, it is not difficult to see that this blood red is mixed with green and gold lines, which will change the taste. .

Everyone knows that they are also called the Green Gold Army. The most obvious sign on their jerseys that is different from Manchester United is the green and gold lines. Now the Red Devils Manchester United's die-hard West Stand is playing at home and wearing the jersey of their rivals, which has to be It's a mockery of the club.

"In the always loyal West Stand, there are so many fans wearing their opponent's jersey, and seeing others turn a blind eye, I have to remind the board of Manchester United, is Manchester United really for them? It's just a money game?"

Even Andy Gray made such an appeal during the live broadcast of the game, but everyone could see that the appeal had little effect.

……………… The last 10 minutes seemed like a torment, and some unbearable relaxation of the offensive, but the Manchester United players were like walking dead, not even able to send the ball into the penalty area.

Like a dying club, they are also waiting for the referee to pronounce their death sentence, and before that, they are not going to fight anything because it is pointless!

There were tears in Beckham's eyes, and he had an urge to cry. This used to be a team he loved all his life, but now it has become such a scene.

Once upon a time, the golden four midfielder composed of Ryan Giggs, Beckham, Scholes and Roy Keane, plus the black winds of York and Cole in front, this team swept across England and Europe. , invincible, always so passionate.

But look at today's Manchester United, Beckham swept his friend Gary Neville, from his empty eyes, could not see the look of the past, lost the struggle of the past, and some are just to maintain him continue to stay Work ethic on the field.

Thinking of the past, Beckham felt a heartache.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, his tears could not help slipping out of his eyes. He immediately sobbed, trying to stop the tears, but who knew that there were more tears from his eyes desperately. I squeezed out, I couldn't help it.

There were sparse applause from the stands. Some fans were mocking the Glazer family, but more chose to remain silent. The whole Old Trafford stadium seemed to be crying silently.

At this moment, no one is victorious, winning the game, and predictably they will win more fans who defected from Manchester United, but there is something more important than winning the game in their hearts.

The Glazers may have won, this loss will not affect their continued success in the stock market, but they have lost their image in this game, they have lost the hearts of their fans, and they have lost their supporters. the loser!

But the most tragic is the Manchester United fans. They lost the victory of the game and their beloved Red Devils. Maybe some people can transfer their feelings to them. Maybe some people will continue to choose to be loyal to Manchester United, which will be acquired in the future. Maybe some people People will choose to flee the football world forever, maybe...they are the most innocent, but the most hurt poor people!

After the game, Beckham sat down on the court in depression. Like him, there are Gary Neville and Giggs and others. They all have the blood of the Red Devils on their bodies. They can't accept such a game. .

Xiao Yu and Roy Keane appeared in the player tunnel. When the two met, it was obvious that they had a lot to say. Keane wanted to express his anger and helplessness about the situation of the club to Xiao Yu, while Xiao Yu wanted to Reassure Keane that he doesn't get too bogged down with Ferguson and the board.

But the two didn't say anything in the end, because they were very clear, and sometimes it was useless to say, because they would still do what they should do, and what should happen will still happen.

The two good friends walked out of the tunnel side by side with their shoulders folded.

Without reporters' attention and without live TV footage, they took to the field.

Xiao Yu passed Gary Neville, Giggs, Scholes and others successively, all just patted their shoulders comfortably, and then came to Beckham.

"I'm fine!" Beckham spoke first, but his voice was sobbing.

This stadium is the love of his life. He once wanted to play here all his life and be loyal here, but he was sold off. At that time, he had anger and resentment, but at this moment, he couldn't hate it at all.

Will hate, that is because love is not deep enough!

Xiao Yu didn't feel good either, so he patted Beckham's shoulder comfortably, the latter struggled to stand up, and the two were about to leave the field one after the other.

When the former Manchester United teammates who passed by saw Beckham, they all pulled out their hands and walked up to hug him one by one.

"I wish you success, David!" Gary Neville hugged Beckham tightly.

Before the game, the [French Football] magazine announced that it had received all votes from all over the world, and the statistical work for the annual Golden Globe Awards had ended, but who would be the winners, only the editor-in-chief Ernault and the vice president The editor Scholai knows that no one in the editorial department of [French Football] will know about it, and he is afraid of leaks.
