Red Rebels

?

After returning to Manchester from the United States, just as "One Goal to Fame" was being released in the UK, the entire Red Rebel team went to London to attend a vigorous promotional reception. Almost all of the attendees were celebrities from all walks of life in the UK. This football movie has been highly praised.

As for Arsenal and Tottenham, who are both in London, they can only look at the Red Rebels with envy. Although they have participated in the competition for this movie, they still failed to defeat the Red Rebels in the end.

Or it should be said that, in the words of many professionals, it was the concept and soul of the Red Rebels that injected new life and meaning into the film. It was the Red Rebels that sublimated the film and ultimately led to its success.

If it were another club, maybe it would just be a background!

After participating in the event, the team returned to the Newton Heath training base.

Mourinho was not very satisfied with the team's performance in the Audi Cup. In the following period, he closed the entire training base, refused all media interviews, and concentrated on preparing for the new season. During this period, he Played a Newton Heath Cup warm-up match with Droylsden, and the team defeated the opponent 0:1.

Xiao Yu understands Mourinho's mood very well. He doesn't pay much attention to the Community Shield Cup with Chelsea. It is just a warm-up match of some value before the season. What the Portuguese madman really values ​​​​is with Manchester City. first round match.

In the second round of last season's match, the Red Rebels suffered a loss against Manchester City. Mourinho was even beaten by Van Gaal and lost his temper. Now that he is making a comeback, he hopes to wash away the shame of last season and at the same time... I hope to prove myself and the strength of the Red Rebels in front of Van Gaal.

However, Mourinho does not pay attention to it, but it does not mean that Chelsea does not pay attention to it.

For the first time in the club's history, it participated in the Community Shield as the Premier League champion. This can be said to be a memorable game in Chelsea's history. Even if Ancelotti does not have high hopes for this game due to season preparations, but Where is Abu? What about Chelsea fans? Don't they even pay attention to it?

Although Abramovich has not been interviewed by the media, it was reported not long ago that Abramovich was dissatisfied with the Red Rebels' popularity and put pressure on Ancelotti, demanding that Chelsea must defeat the Red Rebels in the Community Shield.

"Tell them who is the real champion of the Premier League!"

In addition, Chelsea fans are not happy with the Red Rebels.

Let's talk about the limelight. Last year's Premier League did belong to Chelsea. After all, Chelsea won the first Premier League championship in the club's history. They won the second top league championship after more than 50 years. It can be said to be the most glorious page in the club's history. ,

Coupled with Abramovich's large investment and Ancelotti's blending ability, all this has made Chelsea fans talk about it.

But what?

The damn Red Rebels won the first Champions League in the history of their club after Chelsea won the championship. It was the championship trophy that Chelsea fans dreamed of, and in terms of gold content, it was definitely higher than the Premier League championship, but they were defeated by the Red Rebels. The army took it.

It was as if a small piece of mouse droppings, not too big or too small, was mixed into the pot of delicious meat porridge during Chelsea's championship celebration, which happened to be clearly visible to everyone. This was really hard to swallow!

That's not all. In the summer, well, the club made several signings in a row. First it introduced a star of hope, then it filled the shortcomings of the lineup, introduced Ashley Cole, and then introduced superstar Ballack. Several consecutive signings. Every big move has Chelsea fans excited.

What about the Red Rebels? Kolo Toure was sold and Daniel Alves was introduced. Let’s not talk about the success or failure of this transfer. Let’s just talk about the intensity of signings. Compared with Chelsea, it is a world of difference.

But just when Chelsea fans were about to attack the Red Rebels for their poor recruitment, it was reported that the Red Rebels' American tour was a great success. The Red Rebels assisted in filming, and it was almost like "One Goal to Fame" for the Red Rebels promotional video. It was released all over the world and became a huge hit, which immediately made the Red Rebels surge in popularity again.

Tell me, isn't this just for Chelsea fans?

It is precisely because of this series of grievances that Chelsea fans hate the Red Rebels. They all hope that Ancelotti can lead the team to defeat the Red Rebels in the Community Shield.

One side pays attention to it and the other side ignores it. This can be seen from the arrangement of troops on both sides.

Ancelotti arranged for all the main players to play. The goalkeeper is Hildebrand, and the defense from left to right is Ashley Cole, Cannavaro, Stam and Ferreira. The midfielders are Deco, Veron and Emerson. Ballack and Lampard play as the attacking midfielders. The former is further forward and the latter is deeper. The lone forward is Crespo, and Shevchenko is slightly injured.

This can be said to be Chelsea's main lineup for the new season. It is not difficult to see that Ancelotti is not satisfied with Joe Cole's instability, so after Ballack's arrival, the Prussian Emperor immediately replaced the England star in the starting lineup and was very satisfied with the offensive combination. Make adjustments.

What about the Red Rebels?

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, the defense from left to right is Evra, Terry, Curtis and Maicon, and the three midfielders are De Rossi, Cesc Fabregas and Essien. Beckham is in training Suffering some injuries, it is not yet known whether he can make it to the first round of the Premier League against Manchester City. Kaká, Ronaldinho and Drogba form the front trident.

The 433 tactic is also one of the tactics that the Red Rebels often adjust and use, but Mourinho hid Messi, who performed well last season, and Dutch flying hero Robben, removed the right wing of the golden wings, and replaced him with a real one. Named as a defensive midfielder, this is seen as a reflection of Mourinho's conservatism.

In fact, the Red Rebels did play a more stable game in this game. With the three midfielders composed of Fabregas, De Rossi and Essien, they faced Deco, Veron and Emerson. Coupled with Ballack who frequently retreats, the Red Rebels will undoubtedly suffer.

Before the game, both participating parties observed a moment of silence for the victims of the London bombings on July 7. On the morning of July 7, multiple suicide bombings occurred on London's subways and buses, killing 56 people.

The Red Rebel Charitable Foundation has cooperated with the Government and will do its best to help the families of the victims and those injured in the bombing. At the same time, the club's official website published a special article denouncing these terrorists.

After the game started, the two sides started to play very carefully. Chelsea had a shadow on the Red Rebels. Although Chelsea performed strongly in the Premier League in the previous two seasons, they were always beaten badly when they encountered the Red Rebels. So in this game, Ancelotti started with a solid defense.

But after several trials, Ancelotti saw problems with the Red Rebels' midfield organization, and immediately asked Deco and others to take turns pressing the Red Rebels' midfield. As expected, the Red Rebels' organization became chaotic.

Fabregas is young after all. When facing world-class players such as Deco, Ballack, Veron and Emerson, no matter how old he is, he will not be able to exert his full strength. De Rossi and De Rossi are next to him. Although Essien tried his best to save the ball, he still could not prevent Chelsea from scoring first.

In the 13th minute, Crespo received a long diagonal pass from Ashley Cole on the left, overwhelmed Curtis, stopped the ball with his chest and shot with his left foot to score, 1:0!

Chelsea then took advantage of the midfield and took turns attacking the Red Rebels' defense.

Mourinho continued to direct the team from the sidelines. The back three composed of De Rossi, Cesc Fabregas and Essien still withstood Chelsea's pressure well and formed an orderly defense in front of the defense.

After stabilizing their position, the Red Rebels began to plan a counterattack.

In the 31st minute, after receiving a pass from Fabregas, Kaka stopped the ball with his chest. After flexibly getting rid of Emerson's marker, he passed the ball diagonally behind him. Drogba volleyed vigorously before Cannavaro, and the ball hit The post went out of the baseline and it was a goal kick.

After that, the Red Rebels also created several opportunities while holding on firmly, especially in the 38th minute, when Ronaldinho sent Drogba a header, but failed to adjust when facing an empty goal. Well, the result was that he hit the ball high and missed the best opportunity to regain the score.

During the halftime break, Mourinho did not make any substitution adjustments. Ancelotti replaced Veron with Joe Cole, Ballack returned to the midfielder position, and Deco became Chelsea's playmaker. .

Returning to the familiar tactics of last season, Chelsea were very active at the start of the second half. Joe Cole and Lampard took turns to advance forward to attack the Red Rebels' defense. In addition, the full-backs advanced, temporarily giving way to the Red Rebels. The Red Rebels were passive and conceded another goal.

In the 56th minute, Deco passed a diagonal pass from the center. After Crespo stopped the ball, he dunked past the attacking goalkeeper Cech and directly pushed the shot into the empty goal, 2:0!

Mourinho shook his head as he watched from the sidelines. He also had some responsibility for the second goal conceded.

After conceding two goals in a row, Mourinho quickly replaced the underperforming Ronaldinho with Franck Ribery, then replaced Cesc Fabregas with Michael Johnson, Mikel replaced Essien, and Chielli. Nick replaced Curtis and so on, making 6 substitutions in just 5 minutes.

As if they had changed their minds, after making substitutions and adjustments, the Red Rebels opened up instead. After Ancelotti took a 2-goal lead, he also consciously made substitutions and adjustments, and Chelsea began to relax their offensive.

In the 78th minute, Villa received a pass from Mikel in the penalty area and shot. Hildebrand saved the ball and Cannavaro made a big kick.

Chiellini's header passed to Michael Johnson, who was about 40 meters away from the goal. After the latter stopped the ball, he took a few steps and suddenly took a long shot.

Hildebrand didn't expect it. Although he jumped high, the ball still whizzed past his fingers and went straight to the bottom of the net.

After pulling back a goal, the Red Rebels gathered their strength, but Chelsea began to retreat helplessly. Ancelotti was satisfied with the score of 2:1, so he frequently made adjustments through substitutions. In the 81st minute, he even substituted He replaced Crespo as the forward with Kuai Madav, and set up a defensive counterattack posture.

After that, both sides played fiercely and created many opportunities, but in the end they failed to seize them. In the end, the Red Rebels suffered a defeat before the start of this season with a score of 2:1.

After the game, the Red Rebels were the first to receive the medal, and then Chelsea went to the podium. Captain Lampard won the Community Shield trophy on behalf of Chelsea. The excitement could not be greater.

In an interview with the media, Lampard said that he was proud that Chelsea won the Community Shield as the Premier League champion, especially because the opponent they defeated was the powerful Red Rebels.

"Yeah, we're so excited, you know, we haven't beaten the Red Rebels in a long time, so today's win will give us a lot of motivation, and everyone knows that having a good start against the two teams For a team that aims to win the championship, it’s more important than anything else. I’m very happy that we were the ones who got the trophy!”

Lampard's words almost represent the voices of Chelsea players. They all feel that this victory can completely free the team from the shadow of the Red Rebels. They hope to defeat their opponents again in the new season.

However, Mourinho was surprisingly open-minded about the team's defeat in the Community Shield. In an interview with the media after the game, he said that he was mentally prepared for this defeat. Chelsea was very optimistic about this defeat. The game was taken seriously, but the Red Rebels were not.

"We have just gone through several tough matches, and my players have not yet adjusted in terms of physical fitness, condition, etc., but Chelsea is preparing for the Community Shield Cup, so their condition seems to be better than ours. For excellence, it is understandable that they really need such a trophy!”

From the words, it is not difficult to see that Mourinho is still the same Mourinho, bitter and mean. It can even be said that he made Chelsea's victory as if he deliberately gave it to the other party, and did not know that Ancelo Will Dee be furious after hearing this?

"Disrespecting the Community Shield? No, I swear, I never have, but I have to make a choice, do I want the Community Shield or beat Manchester City in the first round of the Premier League? There is no doubt that anyone will choose the latter! "

"So, you are very confident about the first round match against Manchester City?" the reporter asked expectantly.

"Yes, I can definitely say that this is a game that has been included in my 3 points. Although we have to play away from home, that is not important. What is important is that we have to decide these 3 points! "When talking about these words, Mourinho seemed extremely confident.

"Then how do you evaluate Cesc Fabregas? He was voted the worst player in this game and had the lowest rating!"

Mourinho was as protective as ever, "Is the performance poor? No, I didn't see it. I think he didn't show his best level, but that's understandable. He's still young and has just participated in the World Youth Championship. After that, he rushed to the United States to participate in the competition. He had almost no rest. He was too tired, which caused him to perform poorly in this game, but I always believe that as long as he is given some time, the amazing Spanish genius will come back. of!"

Regarding Mourinho's words, most people thought he was bluffing, especially Van Gaal.
