Red Rebels

575 If there is divine help

"As I expected before the game, this was an exciting game. Although this was a key battle to determine the top spot, both sides played not conservatively at all. It can be said that this was a representative game. This is the highest level game in the Premier League this season, and it will not disappoint the fans’ attention at all!”

When Andy Gray summarized the game at halftime, he smiled and commented on the performance of both sides in the entire first half.

"It should be said that neither side made any fatal mistakes. Hildebrand does not need to be responsible for the Red Rebels' goal, and Chelsea's defense does not have much responsibility. The key is that the Red Rebels counterattacked too fast. , Ronaldinho, Evra and Kaka were so fast that Chelsea had no way to organize their defense."

"If the situation in the first half continues, I believe Ancelotti will still play defensive counterattack in the second half, based on defense. After all, the offense of the Red Rebels is too powerful, but how to enhance the efficiency of counterattack in defensive counterattack , equalize the score, or even take the lead, it all depends on Ancelotti’s methods!”

"The Red Rebels have had a gratifying change in this game from the previous one, and it comes from the goalkeeper. Rene Adler, this goalkeeper can be said to be the most reassuring goalkeeper of the Red Rebels in recent months, even though he only performed It took him a half, but he made 5 key saves, each of which was very difficult, and he also contributed to the Red Rebels' goal."

"Since Cech was injured, the Red Rebels' goal position has not seen a reassuring scene for a long time, especially at the last moment of the first half, the Red Rebels pressed heavily, and the momentum of the players was... They don’t seem to worry about the defense at all, why? Because they believe Adler can save all the shots!"

"Sometimes, players need this kind of almost blind trust on the court, so we can see that in the last 5 minutes, the Red Rebels suppressed Chelsea and had no temper at all. At this time, we were shocked Discovered that the most powerful Red Rebel Army is back!"

"Without worries, the Red Rebels can attack with all their strength. The two full-backs can push forward as much as they want, and the double midfielders can suppress the opponent as much as they want. Even Curtis has pushed forward into the midfield. This left Chelsea helpless."

"The Red Rebels are strong, we knew this at the beginning of the season, but since Cech was injured, this strong Red Rebels has never appeared again, but judging from the situation in the first half, We have to look forward to the second half with high expectations, and we look forward to the invincible and invincible Red Rebels once again giving us a wonderful game!”

Martin Samuel on the side affirmed Andy Gray's admiration.

"At 17:11 in the first half, the number of shots from both sides seemed to be similar, but the effects were different. The Red Rebels had 13 threatening shots, while Chelsea had 7. The Rebels had a goal but Chelsea didn't and that was going to be a flashpoint in the second half."

"Andy, you are right. Since Cech was injured, the Red Rebels have been conceding the ball constantly. This has made the players unable to be like before on the field. They have to take care of defense, worry about conceding the ball, and often worry about gains and losses. This makes The Red Rebels encountered difficulties and even suffered defeats in some situations of strong-power dialogue.”

"But we can see that since Adler's outstanding performance in the first half, we have seen the craziest Red Rebels in recent months. The players are trying their best to attack, and Chelsea can't do anything about it. No, I believe that the situation in the second half will continue to be the same regardless of any changes made by Chelsea.

As long as the Red Rebels maintain their tactics in the first half, winning this game will not be a problem. "

"However, there are players in the Chelsea lineup who need to be careful, such as Lampard and Shevchenko, but I think the biggest threat is Ronaldinho. He is the kind of talented star who can change a game by himself. Mourinho was successful in attacking him in the first half, but he must strengthen his defense in the second half."

"As for the Red Rebels, I still feel that the biggest threat to the Red Rebels in the frontcourt is Kaká. Although he does not charge forward like last season, he is a greater threat in a slightly deeper position, especially on the two lines. When his teammates on the wing were active, he became even more comfortable, scoring goals and assists at his fingertips, and breaking through to another level."

Don't think that what Martin Samuel said is the same as martial arts novels. In fact, things on the football field are similar to martial arts novels in some aspects, just like epiphany.

Let’s take the most famous example from Xiao Yu’s previous life, Barcelona’s Xavi. Around 2010, many people praised Xavi as a monster, saying that he represented Barcelona’s traditional No. 4. However, everyone knew that Xavi’s characteristics were different from those of Guardiola and others. Not the same, Harvey is unique.

During the period from 2000 to 2005, Xavi has been "exploring". He has made mistakes and suffered losses. Even if he is not a direct descendant of Barcelona's youth training, he may not be able to survive after 2005. , but he also learned a lot from these mistakes and losses, and these things were slowly absorbed by him. He worked hard to change himself, and at the same time, Barcelona was also changing its tactical system.

Even when Rijkaard was in charge, Xavi's role was not as good as Ronaldinho, Deco and even Eto'o, especially Deco. The latter was Barcelona's replacement after Ronaldinho's decline. The most indispensable member, this is what Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​said himself, which shows the importance of Deco to this Barcelona.

As for Xavi, it should be said that under the words and deeds of many world-class midfielders, he has achieved his own transformation very well. After Deco left the team, he took on the organizational responsibility of Barcelona and combined it with a unique set of skills. He has his own technical and tactical characteristics, and let Barcelona make tactical arrangements around him.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand these changes of Harvey, and fans have no way of knowing. They only know that Harvey's role is becoming more and more obvious and his performance is getting better and better, because Harvey's transformation is all the same. a feeling.

In the golden age of professional players whose skills are already very mature and it is difficult to make further progress, the transformation of consciousness is often one of the important factors that determine a player's ability to break through to a superstar and extend his peak period.

The reason why Ronaldinho's condition declined rapidly after winning two World Footballer Awards was because his life off the field corroded his football wisdom, and his consciousness failed to continue to make breakthroughs, which led to his The whole person is still resting on his laurels, which makes it much easier for opponents to mark him, especially when his body becomes bloated, it becomes even more unbearable.

Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Ronaldinho is, he is still a magician in blocking football, just like Ronaldo is the most threatening shooter no matter how fat he is.

It is precisely because they understand this that the Red Rebels have been committed to helping Kaka transform. It is better to say that he should give up his own advantages, but to make him more comprehensive, so that he can put his peak period into full play. Extend it even longer, after all, he is only 25 years old and still has a long way to go.

After a 15-minute break, the Red Rebels took the lead.

Sure enough, as Martin Samuel and Andy Gray expected, the Red Rebels played aggressive offensive football at the beginning of the second half, especially the magic quartet and two full-backs in the frontcourt, who frequently created threats. , pressing Chelsea in their own half.

Ancelotti obviously anticipated the Red Rebels' tactics during the halftime break. Although he did not make any adjustments to the lineup, he asked the players to sit back slightly after the start in order to hope that Chelsea could avoid the Red Rebels. The edge of the army.

However, although Ancelotti thought he had a very clear understanding of the strength of the Red Rebels, to be honest, he still underestimated the offensive power that the Red Rebels unleashed in this game.

During the recent period, the Red Rebels have been in poor condition, and the players have been affected to some extent. Whether they are offensive midfielders or defensive backfield players, they have been criticized. This makes every player feel sad. They were all holding in their anger.

When you have been holding your anger for a long time, you will inevitably find some channel to vent it, either by hurting yourself, such as internal strife, or by exposing a series of contradictions that the team covered up when it performed well in the past; hurt others.

Adler's appearance can be said to have brought an opportunity to the Red Rebels. His outstanding performance in the first half not only conquered the Red Rebels fans, but also gained the trust of his teammates. , which made the Red Rebels become ruthless in the second half.

Mourinho even shouted the slogan of victory over Chelsea and a comeback to the top in the midfield locker room. His words and deeds were full of pride and domineering, which infected the players and incited their emotions.

This allowed the Red Rebels to launch an amazing "tide" offensive at the beginning of the second half.

In the 55th minute, after watching the team sustain the Red Rebels' attack for nearly 10 minutes, Chelsea's defense began to loosen a little. Bosingwa and Ashley Cole began to try to find opportunities on the wing, but soon they suffered punishment.

Beckham made a precise diagonal pass directly behind Ashley Cole. Although the latter desperately chased back, Messi caught up with the ball faster and adjusted his direction. Entering the penalty area, when facing Alex, he flexibly knocked and dunked, moved out of the way, and passed diagonally to the back post.

Like a rampaging tank, Drogba knocked away Cannavaro, got ahead of Hildebrand, and poked the ball into the goal, 2:0!

The entire Red Rebel Stadium completely erupted, and the fans' enthusiasm was completely ignited at this moment. Everyone stood up, waving the scarves in their hands, and faced the fans on the stadium. Keep shouting and cheering.

This goal undoubtedly greatly improved the morale of the Red Rebel players, and also dampened the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players. Especially after the second half of the game, our team was trailing by 2 goals away from home. This has to be said to be a disservice to the Chelsea players. A big blow.

After Drogba scored, Ancelotti slapped his forehead and screamed in pain. He couldn't even believe that the Red Rebels could be so strong that Chelsea could not even breathe.

But soon, Ronaldinho cooperated with Shevchenko and Deco at the front of the Red Rebels' penalty area. After two quick one-twos in succession, he entered the penalty area, but his close shot The shot was once again resolved with the help of Adler.

When he saw Ronaldinho shaking his head with almost no confidence, Ancelotti knew that this game was probably out of reach.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldinho seized the gap left by Bosingwa's advance. Although Emerson filled Bosingwa's position, Ronaldinho sent the ball outside the penalty area. At the foot of De Rossi, who was 32 meters away, the latter faced Hildebrand, who was slightly to the left, and fired a shocking cannon.

Drogba's shot was like a missile, hitting the left corner of the goal accurately. Although Hildebrand tried his best to make up for it, he still couldn't reach it. Cannavaro, who kept chasing after him, even hit the target continuously. The man rolled into the goal, 3:0!

This was a goal that sentenced Chelsea to death, especially for Chelsea. They were almost completely defeated by the Red Rebels. Despite their efforts, they were still unable to break through the Red Rebels' goal. Instead, they were defeated by the Red Rebels. Three goals.

Such a blow is directly reflected in the fighting spirit of the players. In away games, they tried their best but were unable to do anything.

Ancelotti finally replaced Emerson and replaced Crespo, hoping to try his best, but the effect was not very big. After all, the Red Rebels firmly controlled the situation on the field, forcing Ancelo to Ti had to strengthen its defense to avoid conceding more goals.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Red Rebel Stadium was completely erupting.

Although Manchester United defeated Liverpool tenaciously in the away game with O'Shea's key goal at the last moment, the Red Rebels also relied on their victory over Chelsea to reverse Chelsea and reach the top of the Premier League, replacing Chelsea with a 2-point advantage and leading the Premier League. The standings are once again at the top of the list.

Although Chelsea lost, they also relied on their accumulated advantages to score 50 points with Manchester United. However, they ranked second in the league on goal difference, while Manchester United ranked third in the league.

With Forlan's goal, Droyden defeated Manchester City at home in an away game and ranked fourth in the league with 48 points. However, due to Everton's 1:1 away draw with Sheffield United, Arsenal It was a 4:1 home victory over Reading, successfully reversing Everton and Manchester City, ranking fifth in the league with 46 points, Everton ranked sixth with 45 points, followed by Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Bolton.

By the way, Tottenham defeated West Ham United 3:4 in this round's away game. After the old Redknapp took charge of Tottenham, the performance of this traditional Premier League team has been rising steadily, and it is now out of the relegation zone. , and jumped to 11th place in the league. If it continues to maintain its current strength, it is likely to affect the competition for qualifications for the Premier League European competition in the second half of the season.

However, after this exciting round of strong dialogue, the trend of the Premier League has become more and more confusing, especially the competition for the championship, the competition for Champions League qualification, and the competition for UEFA Cup qualification. Competition and so on, even the competition in the relegation zone is extremely fierce.

Teams such as Watford, Charlton, Fulham, West Ham United, Newcastle, and Middlesbrough are all on the verge of the relegation zone, especially Newcastle. It is difficult to believe that this team has performed so well this season. It would be so unsatisfactory.

Perhaps, as many experts have commented, it is not that Newcastle's strength has declined, but that the overall level of the Premier League has improved.

Just like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!
