Red Rebels

I believe that whether it is 2005 or 2010, quite a few fans believe that the United States is a so-called football desert.

But in fact, this statement is not accurate, because among all football markets, the United States and Asia are definitely the two largest football markets to be developed, especially the United States, while Asia is led by Japan and South Korea.

Developing the American football market is what every European giant dreams of. Xiao Yu, Mark David and other Commerce Departments have also been working in this direction. As someone who has experienced it, Xiao Yu knows clearly that he wants to develop the American market. , you cannot proceed according to the original method.

So this time, the European giants gave up the past of going it alone, and instead formed an alliance with AC Milan and Real Madrid to go to the United States for a warm-up match, sponsored by Audi and Adidas, who are also keen on developing the American market.

The same pattern will continue for many years to come.

In addition to a series of conventional development methods such as going to the United States to play pre-season warm-up matches and opening football schools in the United States, introducing an American player is also a very good move. For example, Manchester United introduced Howard before. In addition to Ferguson's emphasis on this In addition to the strength of the players, the introduction of an American player is also a major factor.

Now even the boss behind Manchester United has become an American!

However, Howard is not very well-known in the United States. He is not a famous American star. Speaking of the most famous football star in the United States today, perhaps Donovan is the first American to defend the Player of the Year award for two consecutive years. The player's football player currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, but his performance can only be described as average.

Of course, with Donovan's strength, there is definitely no place in the talented midfield and frontcourt, but among the current shortage of backup goalkeepers, there is a suitable American goalkeeper, and his reputation and strength are not inferior to Donovan’s No. 1 goalkeeper in the United States.

If someone were to rank the best players in the United States in the past ten years, Donovan would probably be number one, U.S. captain Claudio Reyna second, and Casey Keller, number one in the United States. goalkeeper.

As for American goalkeepers, they can definitely put England to shame, including Casey Keller, Howard, Friedel, etc. Among them, Friedel is the main goalkeeper of Blackburn and is known as one of the most underestimated players in the Premier League.

Casey Keller, the main goalkeeper of the United States, is 36 years old and currently plays for Southampton. In Xiao Yu’s previous life, he should have left Southampton during the winter break and transferred to the Bundesliga team Monchengladbach. And he had a second spring there, but Southampton was relegated last season, so Casey Keller did not leave Southampton during the winter break.

Although it is only a League One team, Casey Keller cannot play the main role in Southampton. Finnish goalkeeper Niemi is currently the main force of Southampton. Although the 36-year-old Casey Keller still maintains good condition. That's good, but in the end it's still a no-brainer and he is said to be leaving the Saints on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Although Friedel performed well at Blackburn, Casey Keller is still the main goalkeeper of the United States, and his performance in the national team has always been stable. In addition, according to the scouting department's observation of him, his strength is still sufficient. Serves as the team's backup goalkeeper.

Casey Keller has been in many teams in La Liga and the Premier League and has rich experience. In addition, he is 36 years old this year and does not have too many requirements for the main position. So when I contacted him, this American The player with the most appearances for the national team in the current stadium immediately expressed his yearning for the team.

This is the hottest team in European football today. Countless players are proud to join. Casey Keller is also very aware of his situation. He does not have Xiao Yu's foresight, so it is naturally impossible for him to know that he can transfer. Go to other top teams as a goalkeeper and rejuvenate.

Nowadays, he is just a veteran goalkeeper who has been on the bench for a full season in a League One team. He is only one step away from retirement. He feels that if he can transfer,

If he follows the team and makes a difference, his career will be worthwhile.

For this reason, he didn't even ask for salary and benefits, and nodded and agreed to join without even thinking about it.

Although it is only a substitute goalkeeper, the Ministry of Commerce still attaches great importance to the joining of Casey Keller, especially since the American goalkeeper still has appeal in the United States, and he is currently on active duty. The main goalkeeper of the U.S. national team, so the Ministry of Commerce naturally relied on the U.S. media to focus on Casey Keller's joining.

For Casey Keller, he would not agree to introduce this player just to open up the American market, let alone just find an old player to fill up the number. In the words of Xiao Yu and Mourinho, players who can enter, Everyone must have at least a certain amount of weight.

As if to confirm what Xiao Yu and Mourinho said, on the third day after Casey Keller confirmed to join, a key matchup in the English League One was held. Droylsden faced Nan'an at home. Puton, this is a game that is known to affect the promotion trend.

Out of concern for Droisden's situation, and because Southampton's main goalkeeper Niemi was injured before the game, Casey Keller will start, so Xiao Yu, Mourinho and many other personnel came to the Butcher in person. Knife court.

In this game, Droisden showed an eye-catching technical style of play. In addition to maintaining the original British style confrontation of hard bridge and hard horse, more technical details were added to make the scene look more... It's smoother and has a British South American style.

Micah Richards on the right performed very well. His strong physical fitness, fast speed and explosive power, coupled with his positioning and anticipation, have made huge progress in this year's training in League One. .

Although it is only on loan, he has always paid attention to and helped the growth of these players. Micah Richards even often returned to Newton Heath to receive physical examinations and training. Coupled with Pellegrini's focus on carving, this player has become the best player in the world. Both the right wing and the center showed great strength.

It should be said that compared to the Micah Richards of Xiao Yu's previous life, the current Micah Richards has similar offensive abilities, but his skills are more refined. After all, he came out of the youth training camp without a single kick. It's embarrassing to do tricks, but his defense is very stable and his skills are very good.

In this game, Southampton focused on attacking the right wing guarded by Micah Richards, but Richards hardly allowed Southampton's left winger to find even the slightest chance. The performance throughout the game was impeccable, especially several times. When the central defender was out of position, Mourinho was full of praise for his replacement in the middle.

In addition to Richards' outstanding performance, Dzeko also performed well, scoring the only two goals in the game, helping Droylsden defeat Southampton 2:0 at home. The Bosnian forward has been in England this season. He played 39 times in the First League and scored 21 goals. He is the main center forward of Droylsden.

As for Casey Keller, who has already signed a post-season franchise agreement in advance, although Droysden scored two goals in this game, he was Southampton's best player in the game, at least he solved the problem. Received 5 scoring opportunities from Droysden, showing good form and strength in front of Xiao Yu and Mourinho.

At the same time, Casey Keller's outstanding performance also overturned the previous media speculation that he was introduced just to develop the American market. Through this wonderful game, he told everyone that maybe he may not be able to shake Cech's main position, but But he is definitely qualified to be the Czech's substitute.

After the game, Xiao Yu and David Pace had a discussion.

Droyden, who won this game, have confirmed their position at the top of the league and will enter next year's Premier League. David Paes hopes to determine the future of several players in Droyden.

After Xiao Yu discussed with Mourinho, they determined that a purely defensive player like Mascherano was not suitable for the current system. Mourinho paid more attention to De Rossi and Essien in the midfielder position. This kind of player can attack and defend, and Mascherano performed well under Pellegrini. Xiao Yu also feels that he will have a better future in Droysden.

After talking with Mascherano, Xiao Yu decided to let the latter officially transfer to Droisden, which also made David Paes, Mascherano and Pellegrini very grateful. , but Xiao Yu hinted that David Pace should tie up Mascherano as soon as possible, because the latter's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many Premier League teams and he was successfully selected for the Argentine national team.

In Xiao Yu's words, Mascherano can definitely become the leader of Droyden, and he has become the captain of Droyden this season. As long as he is kept, he will be the leader. Droysden's flag player.

However, Xiao Yu has always refused to let go of Joe Hart, Micah Richards and Dzeko, because these three players are still young and the club still attaches great importance to them, but Xiao Yu said that he can continue to rent the players out. Played for Droisden.

For Xiao Yu, David Pace always had no choice but to obey, because it was him who made Droyden what it is today. Without Xiao Yu, Droyden would not have entered the Premier League.

Of course, David Pace cannot rely on Xiao Yu for everything. For example, after entering the Premier League this season, their team wants to introduce some forwards. He will leave this matter to Pellegrini and The coaching staff and scouting department go to find targets.

Xiao Yu knew about this, but he did not stop David Pace because he knew very well that Droysden could not rely on him forever. David Pace wanted his team to grow, so Xiao Yu You must learn to let go. 360 search: (.*)☆\\\\半^福^生//☆=

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for a second team under the control of Xiao Yu to become a strong team in the Premier League. If Droisden, nicknamed Blood, wants to succeed, either Xiao Yu will fall out with David Pace, or Xiao Yu will let go.

Smart people all know how to choose!

Moreover, frankly speaking, Xiao Yu really didn't have that much energy to pay attention to Droisden. He was already worried enough about Droisden, and he didn't want to worry about Droisden any more.

Therefore, in this case, Droylsden, which has already confirmed that it will participate in the Premier League next season, began to look for a forward, while Xiao Yu followed the team south to the Millennium Stadium in Wales.

The 2004/05 FA Cup final will be played against Manchester United at this stadium. This is also the first game since the Glazer family fully took over Manchester United. It can be said that this is the first time that the Glazer family has appeared as the owners of Manchester United. In front of the world.

Although the Red Devils fans continued to demonstrate and protest against the acquisition, the Glazer family finally owned Manchester United with financial capital. It is said that they have begun to plan to increase the ticket prices at Old Trafford Stadium because of their previous Use the ticket income to get a loan from the bank.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu have not intervened in the Glazer family's various measures. At present, the team is most concerned about the FA Cup final and the upcoming Champions League final. These are two crucial games. If they fail, they will Facing the tragic situation of no harvest, at the same time reappearing the tragedy of Leverkusen's Sanya King!
