Red Rebels

?

The opening game of the Premier League this season is Chelsea vs. Manchester City at home!

This is also the second consecutive season that Manchester City has participated in the opening game. However, Van Gaal said with a smile that Manchester City will not repeat the big defeat of last season, especially with the signings of Manchester City in multiple positions this season, such as the joining of Buffon!

However, Van Gaal's words were ruthlessly ridiculed by the media after the game. They believed that Manchester City was accustomed to losing the opening game!

The reason is simple. After 90 minutes of the game, the red scoreboard at Stamford Bridge showed a score of 3:0. According to international practice, the home team is in front and the visiting team is in behind. Manchester City suffered a miserable defeat!

Is Manchester City's performance not good enough?

Obviously not, otherwise, they would not have shot a total of 16 shots in the game, 7 of which were on target, but failed to score, while Chelsea shot 21 shots in the game. But there were only 6 shots on target, but 3 goals were scored.

The two teams once again contributed a wonderful opening game, but Van Gaal had reason to defend his team's performance, but it was a pity that he ran into Chelsea who performed well.

Ronaldinho started the game and has been trained by Ancelotti for a long time. This Chelsea team is known to pay attention to technical coordination and is different from the traditional English team. Although the Brazilian failed to show his peak form, although He is still in the adaptation stage, but he had one assist, one goal, many threatening passes and many wonderful dribblings, all of which were mesmerizing.

Ancelotti still played a Christmas tree formation, with Shevchenko at the front, Ronaldinho and Lampard in the midfield, behind him were Ballack, Deco and Emerson, and the defense was Ashley Cole, Alex, Cannavaro and Ferreira, the goalkeeper is Hildebrand.

At present, Chelsea is still actively operating the Dutch international Borla Luz, hoping to introduce this central defender to strengthen the strength of the defense. Judging from his performance before the season, Stam's competitive status has declined a lot, and there are even rumors that he will There are rumors that he may switch to the Dutch team this season, and it seems that his road at Stamford Bridge has come to an end.

With the joining of Ronaldinho, Chelsea's tactical map has been improved, especially the Brazilian's ball-taking and personal ability in the frontcourt, which has given Chelsea a stable ball point in the frontcourt. Coupled with the very capable Lampard and the excellent scoring ability Shevchenko in the back row, Chelsea's offensive combination is particularly amazing.

Relatively speaking, Van Gaal's trusted offensive trident of Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, and Sneijder is much inferior. Although Yaya Toure is connected in front and back, and Van Bommel and Vieira are both offensive and defensive, but In fact, they failed to control the game, making it difficult for them to break down Chelsea's defense during the game.

Heitinga, Kronkamp, ​​Campany and Kolo Toure,

In addition, there is no doubt about the strength of the defense formed by Buffon. The key is that their ability to adapt to the Premier League will take some time, especially to establish a tacit understanding between each other, and Kolo Toure also relied on his outstanding performance last season. Performance has become the core of Manchester City's defense.

3:0, Chelsea won the first match of the Premier League cleanly. Although many Manchester City fans cried out for the team they supported, Van Gaal said after the game that Chelsea performed better in the game.

A few hours after the opening game, Liverpool was a guest at Sheffield United at Bramall Lane Stadium, but encountered a tenacious counterattack by the home team. A total of 5 yellow cards appeared in the game, and Sheffield United was almost over in the first half. In the 46th minute, the team took the lead to break through the goal guarded by Reina and entered the halftime break with the lead.

This has to be said to be beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone was surprised by Liverpool's poor performance in the first half. Logically, this team should have performed better. After all, their lineup basically maintained the same level. The only adjustment to the configuration for this season is that Paulson replaced Sissoko and Trezeguet replaced Irving.

Benitez made fine adjustments in the second half, and Liverpool's situation on the field indeed improved. Trezeguet scored his first goal for Liverpool in the 71st minute, and he also had many opportunities to score again after that. City, but unfortunately Sheffield United defended very tenaciously and dragged the 1:1 score to the end of the game.

But Liverpool is obviously not the only team to draw this round. Coincidentally, Arsenal was held to a 1:1 draw by Aston Villa at home. The first official game at the Emirates Stadium turned out to be shocking. Depressing draw.

Martin O'Neill has reason to be satisfied with his first Premier League game, because Aston Villa almost entered the relegation zone last year, but now they drew with Arsenal away from home. In the 53rd minute, Aston Villa scored a goal from La Liga Wilson took the lead to score, and then Arsenal chased and fought hard. Finally, Gilberto Silva got a point back in the 84th minute.

But now that the game is going on, everyone knows that the possibility of Arsenal's reversal is very small. Martin O'Neill is also satisfied with his away points, especially when facing such a powerful Arsenal.

If Liverpool and Arsenal were held to consecutive draws, which made many people wonder about the situation in the Premier League in the new season, then Manchester United's victory made people see the contrast between strength and weakness, with 5 goals scored in the game. , Robinho, Diego, and Quaresma each scored one goal, and Rooney scored twice.

Fulham's only goal came from Ferdinand's own goal. After the England central defender experienced a depressing World Cup, he painstakingly longed to prove himself in the Premier League, but his performance in the first game of the season confirmed that The media’s demonstration of the so-called Manchester United centre-back’s inattention syndrome.

"If Leo can perform better and be more focused, maybe McLaren will consider letting him replace Curtis, but it is a pity that he once again proved his unreliability with a goal. I believe Mike After this game, Laren will have a clearer insistence on England's central defender combination!"

After the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Eriksson stepped down and was replaced by McLaren. The whole of England was curious about McLaren's national team, and Ferdinand even stated in an interview that he would use his wonderful performance in the league to Defend your place in the national team.

I'm afraid that when he was being interviewed, he didn't even think that the way he defended was to score goals, but unfortunately, it was his own goal that he scored.

However, Ferguson defended Ferdinand's own goal after the game. He said that at that time, the team won a big victory and Ferdinand wanted to score more goals, which led to some slack in defense. Moreover, the season had just begun. I believe that as the season progresses, he will The performance will become more and more stable.

But in line with Ferguson's next words, the media was asking about the news that Ferguson wanted to introduce a solid central defender. This has to be said to be a big joke!

The opponent of the Red Rebels in the first round was Blackburn. The Red Rebels, who were sitting at home, were not merciful and showed a good state before the start of the season. Mourinho still reused the starting lineup of last season, Zambrotta and Tu Ram was placed on the bench.

With Kaka and Ronaldinho scoring twice, and Maicon's icing on the cake, the Red Rebels finally defeated Blackburn 5:0 at home, which also allowed the Red Rebels to immediately rank up after all the games in the first round. Top of the league.

All media affirmed the Red Rebels' season debut, believing that the Red Rebels showed unparalleled control in the game, and the players were as stable as ever. Beckham, who returned from injury, even contributed 2 assists. , and Essien is equally good.

However, in the 70th and 75th minutes respectively, Zambrotta and Thuram, who replaced Evra and Curtis, appeared. After their appearance, the Red Rebels' defense was slightly chaotic. Blackburn's forward on loan from Roma Nonda even came close to scoring, but fortunately Cech performed well.

"How to integrate Zambrotta and Thuram, two world-class stars, into the Red Rebels as a whole as soon as possible. I believe this will be a big test for Mourinho's coaching this season, especially when the Red Rebels are still If we are going to insist on fighting on multiple fronts, this may become the key to victory or defeat!”

However, Chiellini can also play at the left back position of the Red Rebels, and has performed well, so three days later, in the second round of the away game against Manchester City, Chiellini appeared on the left Defender position.

Van Gaal obviously changed his aggressive playing style in the away game in the first round. Facing the Red Rebels at home, he paid more attention to defense. After all, this was the first official game after the opening of Manchester City's new stadium. The team's board of directors expressed this This game is of particular concern.

According to Al Fahim, he hopes that the City Stadium can become a blessed place for the Manchester City team, where they can defeat all opponents, just like the Red Rebel Stadium!

Yes, just like the Red Rebels, this has unknowingly become the mantra of many teams, and even they don't even know when the Red Rebels became their role model!

But the Red Rebels used cruel facts to tell Manchester City during the game that if they want to defend their undefeated home game, tenacious defense alone is not enough, they also need to have the fighting spirit to fight until the last minute!

Manchester City's defense in the first 80 minutes was successful. Villa, who started in place of Drogba, was closely guarded by Kolo Toure during the game. Kronkamp even targeted the Red Rebels' Mei on the right. In addition, Manchester City's three lines remained compact, and Kaká was closely guarded in the middle, unable to stand alone.

But in the 75th minute, after Zambrotta started instead of Chiellini, the Italian quickly got into the game. In the 81st minute, after picking up the ball on the left, he accurately ran towards the front of the penalty area to get out of the way. Later, Ismail, who came on for Villa, sent a cross and beat Campani with a header.

Ronaldinho appeared in the most lethal position. His speed made it impossible for Heitinga to intercept. It proved that he sprinted into the penalty area with the ball and scored with a powerful and heavy kick, piercing the gate guarded by Buffon.

The Italian national goalkeeper performed well in this game. Facing Cech, who threatened his position as the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, he burst out with great fighting spirit. He saved at least 4 must-goal opportunities for the Red Rebels in the whole game. World-class performance, helpless, for Ronaldinho's shot that was so close, even if he is the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, there is nothing he can do.

0:1!

Ronaldinho scored 3 goals in two games. With his outstanding performance in the two rounds of the league at the beginning of the season, he completely overturned the previous media judgment that he would be dragged down by the pressure. He celebrated after scoring the goal. The cathartic act also elicited an enthusiastic response from the Red Rebels fans in the stands.

However, despite the away victory, Manchester United defeated Charlton 0:3 with goals from Fletcher, Robinho and Solskjaer, which pushed the Red Rebels off the top spot. Manchester United took its place.

Chelsea also relied on its 0:4 away victory over Middlesbrough in this round to overpower the Red Rebels and rank second in the league. Shevchenko scored twice, and Lampard and Ferreira each scored one goal. Ferreira's goal was also hailed as self-redemption, because Chelsea is said to be in close contact with Porto's Bosingwa.

Droisden lost to Arsenal 0:1 at home, Adebayor scored the winning goal for Arsenal; Liverpool defeated Newcastle 2:0 at home, Kuyt and Trezeguet scored for Liverpool , this is also Trezeguet scoring goals in two consecutive league rounds.

After the second round of the league, the Red Rebels rushed to Monaco to participate in the European Super Cup against Sevilla. Since the league was only two days away, Mourinho rotated the lineup due to physical considerations.

Despite this, the Red Rebels still relied on goals from Drogba and Aguero to defeat Sevilla 2:1 and win the European Super Cup this season. Aguero relied on one of his goals in this game. Passed a shot and was voted the best player of the match.

After playing in the Super Cup and returning to Manchester, the Red Rebels immediately rushed to challenge Middlesbrough away from home.

Due to participation in the European Super Cup, the Red Rebels game will be held two days later than other Premier League games and will be held on the 29th. There is a gap of four days between the European Super Cup and the players have recovered. Mourinho With all the main players on the field, they defeated Middlesbrough 0:4 in a clean away game. Ronaldinho scored twice, and Kaká and Messi each scored one goal.

This is also the Portuguese's 5th goal in 3 rounds, and it also allows him to lead the Premier League scorer list with these 2 goals, followed by Liverpool's new aid Therese who scored 4 goals in 3 rounds. Cover, the Frenchman's two goals helped Liverpool defeat West Ham United 2:1 at home.

Chelsea's Shevchenko also has 4 goals. He scored again in Chelsea's 0:2 away victory over Blackburn, making him the striker who has scored in three consecutive rounds.

Manchester United relied on the goals of Sylvester and Giggs to reverse Watford 1:2. This also allowed the Red Rebels to return to the top of the league with this 0:4, and Chelsea followed them. After that, Manchester United ranked third.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal at home, and Ibrahimovic scored the only goal of the game. This also allowed Arsenal to achieve a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the 3 rounds of the new season, while Manchester City's record was 1 win and 2. Losing, both teams are ranked in the middle of the pack.

But everyone knows that the league has just begun!
