Red Rebels

589 Decisive battle in the rain

In the home team's locker room, Mourinho walked in front of the players one by one, always looking serious.

No one spoke, and the entire locker room was so quiet that only the sound coming from outside the sealed door, the movement in the stadium stands, and the faintly heard Kernan's song "Victory" played on the stadium radio. .

"I don't want to say anything unnecessary, but you must understand what this game means to us!"

Mourinho finally broke the silence and spoke word by word in front of the players, as if he wanted to engrav every word deeply in the hearts and minds of the players so that they would always remember it.

"The team opposite is very strong, but we are stronger than them!" Mourinho clenched his fists and shouted.

"If you can't walk onto the court with the determination to win, then I tell you, you can't beat them at all. You don't deserve to walk on this court, and you don't deserve to wear this jersey!"

After a pause, Mourinho saw that every player's emotions were aroused by him and gave them a chance to breathe before continuing.

"Every time, when I walk into this stadium, there is a sentence that keeps echoing in my mind, we have the best fans in the world, we have the best stadium in the world, and we deserve it. The best players in the world, achieving the best results in the world."

"Guys, now is the opportunity. Kill Manchester United and prove to all the people in the world who doubt us that every player in our Red Rebels is the best in the world. We should win the best award in the world." achievements, because we are the invincible Red Rebels and will never be defeated!"

"We are the strongest!" Each of the players clenched their teeth and clenched their fists, shouting with murderous looks on their faces.

"There is a gladiatorial arena above, and there is a road of no return outside the gate. Once you step onto the stage outside, you will either kill your opponent or be killed by your opponent. There is no other way to go. I have confidence in you, you, Do you have confidence in me?"

"Yes!" the players shouted in unison.

"Very good, remember the training we have done before, remember the tactics we have arranged before, remember our enemies, kill them, after 90 minutes, we will be the champions of the Premier League, and in the near future, we will be the champions of the Premier League. The king of Europe, the king of the world, we are the king of the world!”

As Mourinho talked, he became extremely excited.

This excitement quickly infected every player, and they all raised their hands, just like Mourinho. The raised hands in the entire locker room were like towering trees, forming a A vast forest.

"Both sides of the game walked out of the stadium one after another. From the players coming out, we can see that Manchester United's starting lineup is not surprising. Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar still controls the Red Devils. Heinze, Brown, Ferdinand and O Xie formed Manchester United's defense, and this combination is also Manchester United's best defensive combination this season."

"The double defensive midfielders are Carrick and Senna, in front are Robinho, Diego and Quaresma, and the lone forward is Rooney. This is Manchester United's strongest offensive combination this season, especially with the addition of Senna. It will make Manchester United’s lineup more complete and even more powerful.”

After hearing this, Martin Samuel nodded with a smile and said: "Senna is indeed a very strong player who can attack and defend, a bit like Keane. However, the introduction of Senna also caused Ferguson to receive a lot of criticism, so he let him go. A Keane,

Now they have to use Carrick and Senna to fill the vacancy of Keane. It's not worth the gain! "

The two commentators on the live broadcast couldn't help but laugh. Although things on the football field cannot be explained by this kind of arithmetic problem of 1+1=2, the media said this, and Ferguson really didn't know how to answer.

The real situation is that even if Keane's peak period can last until now, he will no longer be able to support Manchester United's back alone, because the current football environment is different from that of the past.

"The starting lineup of the Red Rebels has changed a bit. The goalkeeper is Adler. This German teenager was the biggest discovery of the Red Rebels in the second half of the season. His performance was very good and he was even hailed as the new Cech. He is The Red Rebels were the anchor in front of goal in the second half, and he is only 22 years old, so he still has high potential that can be tapped."

"The defense line from left to right is Evra, Terry, Curtis and Maicon. This is also the strongest combination of the Red Rebels. Terry's composure, Curtis' vitality, plus the faint existing Evra and Maicon, known as the world's two wings, the Red Rebels' defense line is luxurious and very strong, and is known as the most unbreakable defense line in the world."

"Different from the previous midfield configuration, Mourinho arranged for Beckham and Cesc Fabregas to start in this game to form a double midfielder. This is a bit surprising. I heard that Essien is absent and De Rossi There are also injuries, but at least there is Mikel. This Nigerian youngster is known as the new Vieira, but Mourinho chose Beckham and Cesc Fabregas."

"The attacking midfielder is Kaka, the two wingers are no surprise, they are Ronaldinho and Messi, and the lone forward is Drogba. This is also the Red Rebels' strongest offensive combination this season, a magic quartet, with the highest offensive strength. Unmistakably European!”

"Both sides of the game were star-studded, and the referee of this game was also England's best international referee Howard Webb. He had just officiated the League Cup final not long ago. As a result, the Red Rebels in that game Winning the victory also makes Red Rebel fans hope that Webber can bring good luck again."

"Purely judging from the formation, the Red Rebels seem to intend to strengthen their offense. The combination of Cesc Fabregas and Beckham can ensure the source of offense to the greatest extent. Manchester United wants to suppress these two players in the midfield. , it’s difficult, but on the other hand, if Manchester United seizes the opportunity, will the defense composed of two technical players be reliable?”

Martin Samuel raised his concerns about the Red Rebels' starting lineup. I believe this is also the concern of all fans and viewers who see the Red Rebels' starting lineup.

But Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, looked arrogant. He looked around, with a confident smile on his lips. Not far away from him, Ferguson came out chewing gum. He pointed to the field and waited for the start of the game. The players holding the ball seemed to be making some arrangements.

The camera shot from Mourinho's side and captured the moment of these two Premier League coaches, which was particularly interesting.

Ronaldinho stood at the kick-off point. The heavy rain had already soaked his jersey, and even his hair was wet. However, he just casually rolled his arm to wipe away the rain, but his eyes were fixed not far ahead. There was a Manchester United player there, and Rooney, whom he regarded as his opponent, was there.

The two stars looked at each other, and sparks seemed to explode in the air.

"Don't get excited, Cristiano, don't forget the tactical arrangements!" Drogba reminded.

Xiao Luo nodded and said: "Don't worry, Didier, I won't make it easy for this bastard!"

As referee Weber blew his whistle, Ronaldinho immediately passed the ball to Drogba, who immediately chose to knock back.

Beckham held the ball, met Rooney who was rushing forward, and passed it across to Cesc Fabregas.

The Spanish teenager was also surrounded and could only respond to Terry behind him.

"The formations of both sides are unfolding. From the perspective of the queue, Manchester United obviously consciously strengthens the force invested in the midfield, especially the double midfielder's pinch and harassment of Kaka. Ferguson obviously wants to use this tactic. Come and defeat the Red Rebels’ attack!”

Terry took the ball in the backcourt and pondered for a while, then immediately handed it to the left to Evra. The Frenchman took a few steps forward with the ball, attracting the attention of the defense, and then handed it to the center, with Cesc Fabregas holding the ball. Then it was immediately passed to Beckham who ran over to receive the ball, and the latter knocked back.

A beautiful one-two in a small area was formed. Fabregas ran out of a gap and immediately passed back to the left.

Ronaldinho faced O'Shea after receiving the ball. He quickly changed a few fake moves, pretending to go down, but in fact he suddenly dribbled the ball inside.

O'Shea was deceived by Ronaldinho, but he quickly caught up with him. At this time, Ferdinand also came up, and the two formed a trap. However, because Ronaldinho entered the penalty area, the two of them were unable to move. If you dare to take a shot, you can only block the angle and push the Portuguese to the bottom line.

But at this moment, Ronaldinho suddenly made a fancy move while moving quickly, knocking his heel back, and the football returned to the outside of the penalty area. The back row inserted him, and Kaka, who was running all the way, faced the football. An angry kick.

Since Van der Sar was close to the left post, Kaká's shot was deflected to the right. Van der Sar was unable to save it, but Kaká's shot touched the ground and slid slightly out of the far post.

"I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. In less than 45 seconds after the game started, the Red Rebels got a good opportunity outside the penalty area. Ronaldinho hit back with a beautiful heel, and Kaka followed up and shot angrily. Slightly off.”

"This is a beautiful cooperation, which fully reflects the tacit understanding between Ronaldinho and Kaka, and according to the slow-motion display, Messi has already inserted himself into the back row and is ready to fight for the second point. It's a pity that the shot missed."

Although they failed to score a goal, the Red Rebels' beautiful attack still made all the fans at the scene scream in surprise, followed by overwhelming cheers.

But the Red Rebels' performance was obviously not over yet. Van der Sar's goal kick was headed by Curtis to Beckham.

As soon as Beckham got the ball, he turned around deftly and suddenly made a long pass. As if the ball had eyes, it accurately crossed almost half the court and found Ronaldinho. After the latter received the ball, he waded over. Ferdinand, who caught the upper hand, rushed to a position about 20 meters in front of the penalty area and suddenly shot angrily.

Van der Sar was very focused and suddenly pushed the ball over the crossbar, which was able to deflect another shot from the Red Rebels.

The entire Red Rebel Stadium was boiling, and all the Red Rebel fans kept cheering. The atmosphere of the entire stadium was activated by the two consecutive waves of attacks by the Red Rebels.

Beckham's corner kick ultimately failed to pose a threat, but Manchester United's counterattack opportunity was also resolved by Maicon.

"From the beginning, the Red Rebels played very proactively and attacked like a wave. Obviously, Mourinho, sitting at home, wants to win the championship with a vivid victory, and Manchester United is not conservative, but they see The defense in the midfield was under a lot of pressure."

"And judging from the opening situation, the Red Rebels seemed to be more adaptable to the slippery field and did not make many mistakes. On the contrary, Manchester United made many mistakes, especially Diego's penetrating pass in the 4th minute. If not Rooney slipped and the opportunity came."

On the court, Ronaldinho forced a breakthrough from the left again, but this time Manchester United was obviously prepared. Senna and O'Shea teamed up to double-team, occupying Ronaldinho's space, and then took advantage of an opportunity, Senna. With a decisive move, he cut off the ball from Ronaldinho's feet.

The Portuguese half-knelt on the court, but quickly stood up again and "forced" Senna who was holding the ball nearby. The latter immediately chose to knock back to Ferdinand, delaying the attack.

Reaching out to wipe the rain off his face, Ronaldinho was a little reluctant. After the opening, the Red Rebels' offense focused on him. This made Manchester United's defensive focus basically focus here, and he didn't get many opportunities. .

Manchester United made a passing error in the midfield. After Fabregas intercepted the ball, he was forced by a Manchester United player. Ronaldinho did not have time to think too much and immediately retreated to respond. The ball came to his feet again.

Since Ronaldinho was closer to the midfield this time, O'Shea did not come up. Instead, Senna pressed Ronaldinho and prevented him from turning around easily. The Portuguese could only choose to knock back to Terry on the back line. Then he turned around and kept running towards Manchester United's defense.

Terry seemed to have seen something. He took a few steps forward with the ball and passed it to Evra. The Frenchman immediately dribbled the ball along the left wing, with Quaresma chasing closely behind.

But just as he entered the Manchester United half, Evra suddenly stopped. Quaresma rushed over and wanted to turn around, but found that Evra had already passed the ball diagonally.

This kick looked a little erratic in the heavy rain, and even the line of sight was not so clear, but it came to the top of Manchester United's defense very accurately.

Drogba, who has always been lurking here, raised his head, ignoring the rain falling from his cheeks, squinting, always staring at the ball from Evra, constantly squeezing Brown behind him with his body, Jump high and hit the football.

As if the ball had eyes, it arrived accurately in Manchester United's penalty area. Ferdinand and Van der Sar had a large space. The Dutch were hesitant and didn't know whether to attack.

But at this moment, a red figure shot out from the left corner of the penalty area. He was ahead of Ferdinand, touched the ball and avoided Ferdinand's counterattack, and took off about 17 meters in front of the goal. Angrily shooting, the football became faster on the slippery turf, so fast that Van der Sar almost didn't react at all. He could only watch the football grazing the right post and entering the net, and then flicked the ball. A wave of water droplets on the Internet.
