Red Rebels

As early as before the start of the season, some people had evaluated Droylsden, this second-generation Manchester suburban team.

The Manchester City Evening News once published a special feature to introduce this team. Their evaluation of Droisden was that it is a smaller version, with a smaller version of the player lineup, a smaller version of the team's power, and even a smaller version of the stadium.

No one will doubt the close connection between Droysden and Xiao Yu, and no one will question David Pace's gratitude to Xiao Yu. The blood tycoon once burst into tears when the team was promoted. During the live interview, he cried and said a lot of words of thanks to Xiao Yu.

After running Droisden for so many years, it was Xiao Yu who helped him realize his dream of promotion!

Many people who are close to Droisden know that almost all the players in this team have the shadow of Xiao Yuhe. Even the head coach Pellegrini was personally appointed by Xiao Yu for David ?Selected by Pace, and the foundation also owns 20% of the club.

Some people say that Xiao Yu is learning from Abramovich and wants to create a gang in English football, because another team he supports, Wimbledon, is currently competing in the National League. This team has received the full support of the The possibility of a professional league is very high.

Therefore, regarding the game against Droylsden, some journalists with conspiracy theories believe that Droylsden, which performed well after promotion, must lose, because their mission for promotion is to give away 6 points every year.

Pellegrini scoffed at this statement!

"We have never bothered to do such a thing. Blood will not and will not do it, and Mr. Xiao Yu will not do it!"

After a pause, Pellegrini explained: "Mr. Xiao Yu and I are good friends. He has indeed helped our team a lot, but he has never interfered with anything about our team. Against this game , Droysden has only one goal, and that is victory, our goal is to avoid relegation and we need more points!”

Seeing Droysden's starting lineup, no one would doubt Pellegrini's words, but some people still expressed doubts because this is a starting lineup that is inextricably related to it.

The goalkeeper is Joe Hart. This English goalkeeper comes from the youth academy. He is young but has already played the main role in Droylsden. His performance is solid and he has great potential. Although he has only appeared in 4 games in the Premier League, Performance is solid.

The left back is Leighton Barnes, this player is Droylsden's main left winger and has performed fairly solidly in several Premier League games; the right back is Micah Richards, another member of the youth academy. The players who came out performed well in the British Championship last season and were selected as the right back of the year. They performed well after promotion.

The central defender combination is Michael Dawson and Jagelka. These two players are the main central defender combination of Droysden. Everton once hoped to introduce Jagelka, but Pellegrini personally persuaded Players stay on the team and do their best to ensure the integrity of the main lineup.

Pellegrini's tactics in Droisden are not certain. He has used tactics such as 442, 4231, 4132, and 433. His fickleness is the evaluation given to him by his opponents, which shows that he is very good at formulating strategies according to the characteristics of his opponents. The team's tactics.

For example, in this match, he knew the power of the offense, so he arranged two strong midfielders, Mascherano and Huddlestone. In front of them was James, who was much liked by Pellegrini. ?Milner, his position is the central midfielder, and the two wing speed horses Ashley Young and Fran are separated on the two wings.

Among them, Huddlestone relied on his excellent passing ability and strong tactical awareness. He performed well in the pre-season warm-up match and pushed Sully Muntari onto the bench and became Maschera. Nuo's stable partner.

As for Forlán’s transfer to Droisden, this transfer deal was not authorized by Xiao Yu, but was finalized by Droisden itself. It is said that it was advocated by Pellegrini, who hoped that Forlán The addition of Dreoysden can strengthen Droysden's frontcourt attack power. With Dzeko and Kitson serving as center forwards,

Forlan can be pulled wide.

Forlan, Dzeko/Kitson, Ashley Young, this frontcourt trident is the reason why Droylsden currently overtakes Arsenal and ranks 9th in the standings, of which Forlan is already in He scored 3 goals in the league and is the main scorer of the Droylsden team.

If the Newton Heath Cup before the season was a test, then in this game, Pellegrini undoubtedly hopes to prove the strength of his team, especially after losing to Chelsea and drawing with Manchester United. Legrini hopes to go one step further.

In fact, he did a pretty good job!

Less than 8 minutes into the game, I could feel Real Madrid's bad mood when Eto'o and other Real Madrid old players scored.

Micah Richards dribbled the ball forward from the right and passed a diagonal pass behind Evra. Ashley Young came to the right to receive the ball and ran all the way to the bottom line to pass. Dzeko made a feint with a header. The ball missed, and Fran easily swept the ball into the goal from behind, 0:1!

Droysden took the lead on the pitch!

This undoubtedly made Xiao Yu feel helpless in the stands. The team he founded was scored by the team he strongly supported, and the hero of the goal was his own player. This is indeed embarrassing.

However, Xiao Yu does not intend to use Real Madrid's so-called no quota clause against the home team on Droisden. He feels that such a clause is tantamount to being afraid of himself and will only lower his worth. Moreover, he has also learned from Droyden. Stern has seen the progress of Dzeko and Micah Richards.

After that, they launched a massive counterattack, especially the two wings composed of Franck Ribery and Ronaldinho, which frequently attacked the hinterland of Droisden. Unfortunately, Pellegrini had already studied the tactics well, and he created The defense withstood the offensive pressure very well.

Not only that, neither Chelsea nor Manchester United benefited from the blood. Pellegrini has proved his coaching level with several games in the new season.

Under the guidance of Pellegrini, James Milner played as a central midfielder, but he took on many defensive tasks. He was tenacious and ran all over the field. Through running without hesitation, he connected the midfield and frontcourt. , and his offensive ability in the back row is also good, and his passing ability is also very good.

From this point of view, Pellegrini specifically used him to restrain Cesc Fabregas. Under Milner's tight marking, the Spaniard failed to continue his excellent performance against Portsmouth.

During the halftime break, Mourinho made adjustments to the team, and the offense improved after the second half. However, Pellegrini also quickly made adjustments and replaced Arsenal with Sully Muntari. With Shley Young, the tactics changed to 442. Forlan and Dzeko played as double forwards, followed by three midfielders, plus a central midfielder with good defensive ability.

This suddenly made the attack seem to have hit an iron plate.

…………… “Damn it, I didn’t see it, this guy is really a f**king gangster!” Mourinho glanced at Pellegrini, who looked relaxed not far away, and said, Stinky cursed.

Cassel had a wry smile on his face. The two clubs were closely related, close to each other, and had frequent contacts with each other. Naturally, they were no strangers to each other. However, this was the first time they had met in a professional league.

Mourinho and Pellegrini are both arrogant and arrogant people. Neither of them is willing to admit defeat. Both of them want to win. Although Mourinho is already a popular and famous coach in Europe, he I also know in my heart that Pellegrini is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Our players are too tired. They just went through an intensive schedule in August and then traveled long distances to participate in the national team competition. They didn't have much time to rest after coming back. Even De Rossi, who has excellent physical fitness, can't run. , on the other hand, Droylsden’s players are full of energy and naturally have an advantage over us!”

Mourinho naturally understands, but he is still unwilling to accept a defeat. This is not only because of the competition with Pellegrini, but also the pressure exerted by teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool.

Seeing Ribery's physical condition on the court, Mourinho looked back at the bench. The first thing he saw was staring intently at Theo Walcott. He had obviously changed from the first time. Detached from the shock of entering the first-team lineup, he began to inherit the tradition of being a substitute player.

Let this kid go up and try?

Mourinho considered in his mind that instead of letting Ribery, who was not physically fit enough, stay on the field, it would be better to let Walcott go up and charge. The young player is energetic and has sufficient physical fitness, and he might be able to play a surprise role.

"Theo!" Mourinho shouted over his shoulder, then quickly turned back and continued to stare at the court.

When Walcott heard the shouting, he looked over immediately and saw Cassel waving to him. He felt excited and immediately jumped up from the bench and ran to Mourinho's side.

"How are you preparing, little tiger?" Mourinho called Walcott affectionately, which made Walcott feel more cordial. After all, the man in front of him was the head coach who had watched him grow up with his own eyes. .

"At any time, sir!" Walcott said confidently.

If he was still a little trembling before he stepped into this stadium, then as he sat on the bench and listened to the roar of mountains and tsunamis coming from the stands, he was convinced that he had found the destiny of his life. stage.

Playing here is the dream of every player from Newton Heath!

"I'm eager to play, sir, and I'll give it my all!" Walcott added.

Mourinho stared at this young man, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his heart. He likes people who are fighting and confident. Those shy guys can only stay outside the court. Once they enter the court, they must not show any fear or fear. kindness.

So even though Messi is as shy as a boy next door outside the court, on the court, he is like a wolf and shows no mercy at all, because he knows very well that once he is merciful, he will be greeted by someone from Head coach Mourinho's rebuke may even be a benching.

"Very good, you go up and replace Frank, play on the left, use your speed and skills to open up space, you know Micah, you have competed with him, although he has improved a lot now, but you are not bad, give it to me Kill him, do you understand?"

"Understood, sir!" Walcott shouted back.

"Also, use your brain more!" Mourinho pointed to his head. Everyone knows that he likes smart people who can use their brains to play football, so what he emphasizes the most to his players is thinking and observation.

Replacement of Ribery with Walcott, this youth training star immediately aroused applause from the scene. His outstanding performance in the youth team has already attracted the attention of fans. It can be said that many fans are here. Looking forward to his debut on the court.

After Walcott and Ribery hugged each other, they walked onto the lawn, which was soft and comfortable.

Although the youth team's game field at the training base is the same size and quality as this turf, for some reason Walcott feels that it is sacred and inviolable.

This is our home court!

No team has ever been able to escape here!

As a member of Newton Heath, I will never allow any team to tarnish the sanctity of this place!

An endless fighting spirit surged in Walcott's heart. He turned back to look at the crowded stands. He seemed to see his family in the huge crowd. They should be very excited and proud.

I won't let you down!

………… After coming to the left, Walcott soon had a chance to touch the ball. Fabregas was harassed by Milner, and the surrounding passing points were controlled. Walcott immediately retreated to receive the ball, and the ball soon came to his feet.

While stopping the ball, Walcott felt the pressure from around him, with Mascherano and Micah Richards pressing forward.

Although it was one on two, Walcott was not nervous at all. He liked to play indoor football the most, so he was very used to it. It could even be said that he enjoyed this kind of confrontation in a small area. He just flicked his right foot. Around his left foot, the ball seemed to be being pulled, passing through the narrow gap between Richards and Mascherano, and his player also suddenly accelerated.

"Beautiful, a beautiful pass in a small area. The young player Theo Walcott, who has just come on, made a beautiful pass on the left and cut inside with the ball. Michael Dawson immediately stepped forward to press!"

Coming out of the youth training, Walcott knew clearly what to do next after attracting the opponent's defensive players. It was not to continue to stick to the ball, nor to play with his skills and speed, but to pass the ball. .

Although his right foot is his dominant foot, his left foot is not bad either. With a slight move, the ball was sent to the gap between Michael Dawson and Jagielka.

This was Walcott's job and he accomplished it!

The next task should be the forward's task, and Villa appeared in the position Walcott expected. After receiving the ball, he easily hit the goal!
