Red Rebels

561 Massacre

Would rather not win!

In the afternoon, I went to the hospital to see Petr Cech. I was very sad and my heart was full of guilt. On the contrary, Cech was very brave. He told me that he was fine. The doctor said that he would recover and it would not affect him. Performance on the pitch.

I held Cech's hand and told him that nothing mattered!

So, what is most important?

At that moment, I was very serious, sober, and sincerely telling Cech that your health is the most important. If it could be exchanged, I would rather exchange 3 points for his health, but I knew that this was impossible. !

Watching Martina (Cech's girlfriend) crying next to me and watching Cech's parents worrying in the ward, I felt very ashamed, so I wanted to write such a comment and publish it on the club's official website. .

Regarding the topic, I thought a lot about it, such as criticizing Reading, supporting Cech, etc., but in the end, I chose this one because it represents my mood at this moment. If I could choose, I don’t want that. A victory!

I believe that at this moment, every Red Rebel is like me!

Cech is brave. The day before the game, when I was still worried about the Reading game, he told me that there was nothing to be afraid of. He would repay the team with an unprecedented record, and he did it. , but he almost paid his life for it!

I told Petr Cech at the time, be careful, records are not important, people are important, and I feel the same way now.

Everyone is saying that life is precious, and everyone understands that life is very fragile and will be gone if you don’t give it up. But why, why do some people who are professional players not know how to cherish life at all?

No, maybe they know how to cherish their lives, so when they have to accept punishment and pay the price, they regret it very much. They may even cry and repent, but is that true repentance?

In my opinion, if this can be considered repentance, it is also selfish repentance, because they only repent when they are hurt, but when they hurt others, they do not know how to regret at all, and they are even very complacent. Show off!

The "Chairman" of Reading called me personally, and officials from the Football Association also contacted me. They insisted that matters on the football field should be resolved by the rules on the football field, but I want to say that this matter is not just about the stadium. It’s something that has already reached the level of criminal punishment and the level of law!

As the law says, everyone must be responsible for what they have done!

I know that the Red Rebels have risen too fast, so fast that people are overwhelmed, so many people and many teams are very unhappy about this. They are jealous, jealous, and even full of hostility, so they are playing against When I was a member of the Red Rebels, I was always very devoted, very attentive, and even very energetic.

Some people even know that they can't defeat the Red Rebels on the field with the rules of football, so they try every means to use various techniques to deal with us. They feel that as long as they can defeat the Red Rebels, they can do anything. Don't go to extremes.

This should not become the mainstream value in football, because this is the real regression of football!

I have always told our Red Rebel players to keep striving for self-improvement!

We respect all opponents, but the premise is that the opponents must also respect us. Otherwise, we Red Rebels are not afraid of any trouble, not afraid of any opponent, let alone any force!

I believe,

Cech will recover, and he promised me that he will do it, because he has always been a trustworthy friend, comrade and family member, but I hope that through this incident, I can tell everyone that football, maybe really It is higher than life and death, but it should never be higher than human nature or morality!

…

Xiao Yu's comment was titled "I'd rather not win" and was posted on the official website of the Red Rebel Army. In less than two days, it was translated into multiple languages ​​and spread throughout the world.

In an era where information is so developed, everything is changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is human nature and morality!

All Red Rebel fans, under Xiao Yu's call, prayed for Cech in various ways, hoping that the Red Rebel goalkeeper could recover as soon as possible and return to the court as soon as possible.

Cech, who was in the hospital, was deeply moved after reading this comment, especially since he receives messages of concern for him from fans from all over the world every day from the club's fan service department. , which gave him immense motivation and support.

He issued a statement of thanks on the club's official website. He thanked Xiao Yu for encouraging him, thanked the Red Rebels for supporting him, and thanked all the Red Rebels fans around the world for their love for him. He promised that he would definitely Get back on the court as soon as possible.

But according to Professor Fryer's estimation, even if everything goes well, Cech will need to undergo 6 months of recuperation at the earliest before he can be on the court again. After all, he needs to recover after surgery, and then resume training, etc. These take a long time to carry out.

During this period, Mourinho transferred a youth team goalkeeper, Chris Taylor, from the youth team. This 18-year-old goalkeeper has been playing in the reserve team and performed well. He is currently temporarily transferred to the first team. , serving as Casey Keller's substitute.

Since the American goalkeeper joined the Red Rebels for more than a year, his performance has been very stable. Although he is now 37 years old, he is actually still in good condition, especially in the next home game against Levski Sofia. In the game, when the opponent made a sneak attack, Casey Keller relied on his experience to block the opponent's shooting angle. This resolved a crisis and helped the Red Rebels defeat their opponent 4:0 at home. .

With this victory, the Red Rebels finally qualified early with 4 wins from 4 games in the group, and locked the first place in the group in one fell swoop. This also gave the Red Rebels a favorable position in the top 16 knockout rounds.

But to make matters worse, Casey Keller hit his arm during a save at the end of the first half in the next away game against Manchester United and was forced to leave the field.

Chris Taylor, who was appointed at the critical moment, despite his hard work, was helplessly seized by Manchester United. Two opportunities were seized by Diego and Rooney respectively, helping Manchester United reverse the Red Rebels 2:1 at home.

This game was also the Red Rebels' first defeat of the season. Mourinho felt helpless. He said at the post-match press conference that Chris Taylor was not responsible for the two conceded goals. He had already Well done, especially in this crucial game against Manchester United.

"The first and second goalkeepers were injured one after another. We are really helpless about this, but this is already a fact. We have no choice at all. We can only look to the youth team, and then we will see the extent of Casey's injury before deciding whether to play in the youth team." We will make signings at the goalkeeper position during the winter break, but I still tend to believe in the young players from the youth team!”

But the situation is obviously not satisfactory. After detailed diagnosis after the game, Casey Keller's injury was determined to be a fracture of the hand bone. He will be out for at least 3 months. After all, he is 37 years old. Can he return to his previous state? , is still unknown.

This gave the Red Rebels a headache.

It is only the beginning of November, and there are still two months left before the winter break transfer. During this period, the Red Rebels have not had much impact in the Champions League, but they have to encounter strong enemies in the league. In the goalkeeper The loss of troops and generals at this critical position is definitely the most unfavorable news for the Red Rebels.

Unable to make suitable signings, Mourinho could only choose to continue to rely on Chris Taylor. However, the performance of the youth team player was still ups and downs.

On November 7, the Red Rebels went away to challenge Notts County in the fourth round of the League Cup.

As usual, Mourinho still chose to rest many main players, especially now that the team continues to suffer injuries, cannot get enough rest after the World Cup, and players' physical problems are gradually erupting, Mourinho has even sent out All were played by youth team players.

Chris Taylor performed well in this game. He made several high blocks and low passes, saved Notts County's shots, and tried to keep the Red Rebels goal. He just celebrated his 16th birthday and did not miss it. The brothers Fabio and Raphael started side by side in this game for a long time. The two took on the defense of the left and right wings of the Red Rebels respectively.

The two Brazilian twins did not live up to Mourinho's trust in him. They did a pretty good job defensively. Each had 4 successful interceptions, effectively containing Notts County's two wings. At the same time, they They are all very fast. Among them, Rafael made a surprise attack on the right and assisted his teammates to score the winning goal.

However, these two players did not attract much attention. After all, they are full-backs and are not as visible as their attacking teammates. Moreover, the Red Rebels are not very satisfied with some of their performances in the game, such as possession of the ball in Notts County. At that time, their position was always very far forward, and their speed was indeed very fast, which ensured that they could retreat in time, but in the end they were out of position.

Mourinho is still very optimistic about these two twin brothers. He hopes that they can strengthen their defensive strength and improve the efficiency of forward assists. For this reason, Mourinho specially transferred them to the first team and allowed them to Train with the first team.

On the one hand, this is also an emergency measure for the team's shortage of personnel. On the other hand, it also allows the two Brazilian twins to adapt to the rhythm of the first team faster and at the same time strengthen their strength and level. After all, training with the first team is, for them, , the harvest is much richer than playing a youth team game.

The Brazilian twins are very excited about this. They are satisfied with being able to train with superstars such as Beckham and Kaká, and they can also observe the performance of world-class full-backs such as Maicon, Evra and Zambrotta on the spot. , which will be of great benefit to their future progress.

Of course, after these two players were transferred to the first team, the Red Rebels immediately signed a professional contract with them. The Brazilian twins were also happy to hand over their future to the Red Rebels.

After playing in the League Cup, the Red Rebels returned home and welcomed Fulham.

Chris Taylor, who performed well in the last game, started again. In this game, the Red Rebels were held to a 1:1 draw by Fulham at home. However, this goal conceded had something to do with Chris Taylor. Not big.

After two consecutive games without a win, Manchester United and Chelsea have caught up again, especially Manchester United, which defeated the Red Rebels. Manchester United, who both have 31 points, are ranked second in the league due to their lower goal difference, while Chelsea has 29 points. Ranked third, Droisden performed well, ranking fourth with 27 points, followed by Liverpool, Everton, Manchester City and Arsenal.

The points of the first group are very tight. The difference between the Red Rebels and Arsenal, which is eighth in the league, is only 9 points. Although this is related to the fact that the league has just played 12 rounds, the intensity of the Premier League is also a reason.

However, as the league progresses, teams including Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have gradually begun to rebound. Liverpool, in particular, has defeated Aston Villa, Reading and Arsenal in the last three rounds, reversing the Gunners. Climbing up to 5th place in the league, they are only 1 point behind Droylsden.

After a week of rest, the Red Rebels sent out all their main players to face newly promoted Watford at home.

The Red Rebels, who were at home, played more proactively. Although Beckham was absent due to injury, Michael Johnson performed well, firmly controlling the midfield, and in the 18th minute, he pushed forward from the center. Suddenly a sharp through ball was passed, Messi stepped in from the back row, successfully countered offside, received the ball, and scored a single goal, 1:0!

The Red Rebels did not relax after the goal and still maintained the pressure on Watford. However, at this moment, Chris Taylor was harassed by the opponent's forward when receiving a return pass. After making a mistake in clearing the ball, the opponent's forward successfully intercepted the ball and directly pushed and shot into the empty goal, 1:1!

Taylor looked very frustrated after losing the ball. Although he was encouraged by his teammates, his performance was still sluggish. However, the Red Rebel fans at the scene did not boo Taylor because of his mistake at all. Encourage him and give him support, but after Watford equalized the score, they once saw the hope of winning and played very actively.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ronaldinho used a ground-breaking shot from outside the penalty area to penetrate Watford's goal, allowing the Red Rebels to exceed the score again.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Messi and Ronaldinho were still active. The Red Rebels created a lot of threats on both sides.

In the 51st minute, after Kaka made a breakthrough in the middle, he faced the goalkeeper and chose to go to the right. Messi followed up and easily pushed and shot into the empty goal, 3:1!

The Red Rebels, who expanded the score, played more confidently, especially in the 63rd minute, after De Rossi received a cross from Ronaldinho outside the penalty area, he suddenly shot angrily, and the ball hit the goal like a bolt of lightning. Dead end, 4:1!

After that, the Red Rebels deliberately slowed down their offensive. Watford was limited in strength and failed to create more opportunities. As a result, the game ended with 4:1. The Red Rebels finally stopped it with a victory at home. The last two rounds have been winless.

However, as Manchester United, Chelsea and Droysden all won successively, the top four in the league did not change in the end. On the contrary, Liverpool was forced to 0:0 by Middlesbrough in the away game, and Arsenal 1:0 at home. The 1-1 draw with Newcastle gradually widened the gap with the first group. Everton defeated Bolton 1:0 and climbed to fifth place in the league again.

After the game, Xiao Yu held a meeting between the Athletic Department and the Commercial Department at the Newton Heath training base, hoping to make a decision on the goalkeeper.
