Red Rebels

607 A bet between two people

"Many people have said that this season's Champions League final brings together all the prerequisites for exciting games and will definitely be a brilliant game. Regarding this, Martin, what do you think?"

In the crowded Red Rebel Stadium, the commentator of the live broadcast asked with concern about the special commentator Martin Samuel. In addition to being a well-known columnist in English football, he is also a player of the Red Rebels. fan".

"I agree, this will definitely be a wonderful game!" Martin Samuel affirmed.

"Why?"

"Because of the Red Rebels!" Martin Samuel laughed, "I'm just kidding, mainly because neither team has a conservative style. The Red Rebels play offensive football, and Manchester United's style of play is It’s also a big opening and closing, which makes this kind of game not too dull.”

"Then who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"There is no doubt that whether it is the reaction of the fans or the odds offered by the bookmakers, we can all see that the Red Rebels have an absolute advantage. I can only say that this team is too good this season. It’s so demonic that it’s almost invincible!”

"But Ferguson said he found a way to defeat the Red Rebels."

"Don't forget, friend, Rijkaard also said before that he found a way to defeat the Red Rebels, but look, now the young Guardiola is sitting on the Barcelona coach's bench, and Barcelona can't Defeat the Red Rebels!”

"Ferguson also said before the game that only fools would fight against the Red Rebels. Does this indicate that Manchester United will adopt a more conservative tactical attitude?"

"No, Manchester United's tactics are also a stable system. Defense has always been a big problem for Manchester United. It is not difficult to understand what Ferguson means. He will not take the initiative. After all, his defensive problems have always been bothering him. , but he is an old fox, no one can tell whether what he says is true or false!"

The on-site commentator laughed, "Mourinho said before the game that Ferguson is the smartest and wisest football coach on the planet. He is very good at creating some amazing targeted tactics, and this seems to From the announced starting lineup, it is not difficult to see the changes in Ferguson in this game."

"The goalkeeper is still Edwin van der Sar, and the defense remains largely unchanged, with Heinze, Brown, Ferdinand and Gary Neville, but in the midfield, Ferguson took out Carrick, who has performed averagely this season, and replaced him with The dual defensive midfielder combination of Sully Muntari and Senna, and the frontcourt attacking combination of Rooney, Alan Smith, Park Ji-sung and Robinho.”

“Neither Diego nor Quaresma, who have performed well this season, appeared in the starting lineup, but they introduced three forwards, Rooney, Robinho and Alan Smith, which is indeed a bit surprising. "

Martin Samuel also had a solemn look on his face. Ferguson's change of formation has indeed brought about a lot of changes. Although Alan Smith is a forward, he is actually known for his tenacious style and even often makes guest appearances. Playing as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder, Rooney and Park Ji-sung are also players with abundant physical energy and tenacious style.

Coupled with Senna and Muntari in the midfield, these two defensive midfielders are both strong defensive and offensive players. Ferguson uses them to play with a very clear attitude, that is, based on defense, but anyone with a little bit of brains will not look bad. It turns out that although these players are good at defense, they are actually equally good at offense, especially under Manchester United's rigorous tactical system.

"Ferguson's idea must be to strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt. In the previous league, Mourinho cleverly used the control advantage of two technical midfielders.

He left the ball in Manchester United's half, took full advantage of Manchester United's backcourt mistakes, and defeated Manchester United. This made Ferguson learn a painful lesson and wanted to strengthen the defense in the frontcourt. "

Neither Diego nor Quaresma is good at pressing in the frontcourt, which is why in the league, the Red Rebels can successfully enter the Manchester United half, so Ferguson left a Robinney in front of him. Oh, let's let Rooney, Alan Smith and Park Ji-sung, who can't run fast, step up the frontcourt pressing.

Of course, this is just a guess, and no one knows what Ferguson has in mind.

"The starting lineup of the Red Rebels has not changed much. Cech replaced Adler as the starting goalkeeper. Evra, Terry, Curtis and Maicon formed the defense. The double midfielders were Beckham and DeRoro. West, the attacking midfielder Kaka, the two wingers are Ronaldinho and Messi, and the center is Drogba. This is also a tactic commonly used by the Red Rebels."

Martin Samuel laughed after listening to the introduction, "Some people say that the tactics of the Red Rebels have reached perfection, and there is no need to adjust their tactics according to the characteristics of the opponent. Instead, the opponent needs to focus on how to crack the Red Rebels." The rebel attack came with great pains."

"Yes, Mourinho said before the game that the Red Rebels will stick to their own tactical concepts at their home court. Now it seems that he has done it."

While the commentators below were introducing the situation of both sides of the game, Xiao Yu welcomed a group of distinguished guests at the business seats of the Red Rebel Stadium.

"Welcome, 'Chairman' Johansson!" Xiao Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to UEFA 'Chairman' Johansson, who came from afar. Then he was followed by Beckenbauer and others, while Florentino and David Dunn and other club executives who had already arrived welcomed their arrival together with Xiao Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Platini!" Xiao Yu smiled and stretched out his hand again.

Platini looked at Xiao Yu with an embarrassed expression. What should I say?

They had made a bet in the media, and they also had different concepts. This was something everyone knew, but Xiao Yu specially invited him, and Johansson also specially invited him to be the award guest in this Champions League final. This made him very embarrassed.

I originally wanted to turn it down, but then UEFA put a little pressure on the relevant parties. Platini finally accepted UEFA's invitation and decided to be the presenter of the Champions League final, but he and Xiao Yu The bet will be counted separately.

In other words, if the Red Rebels really win the Champions League final, then he will not only present the trophy to the Red Rebels, but also publicly apologize to Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels in front of everyone, and publicly admit He lost, which was definitely a big blow to the arrogant Platini.

The reason why Johansson helped Xiao Yu suppress Platini was not without selfish motives. What he was thinking about most now was how to pave the way for Beckenbauer to come to power. Platini was undoubtedly such a stumbling block.

"I heard that Mr. Platini returned to work for the French Football Association?" Xiao Yu tried his best to look easy-going.

But in fact, everyone could see that he was laughing in his heart.

Being able to take care of Platini on his own territory, Xiao Yu felt that there was no better revenge in the world than this. For this reason, he specially arranged Platini and others to work in the stands. On the bench, he was subjected to hellish boos from the fans for the entire 90 minutes.

Sure enough, the news of Platini's arrival at the Red Rebel Stadium quickly spread throughout the stadium. The Red Rebel Stadium, which accommodates 85,000 fans, was packed with seats, but at the same time, an overwhelming roar sounded. There were boos, and countless fans nearby turned around and booed Platini in the business seat.

The latter's expression was so interesting that he almost wanted to leave on the spot, but in the end he chose to hold back.

"Let's see, who caused the 'commotion' among the fans in the stands?"

The on-site commentator was also attracted by the commotion in the stands, and the live camera was immediately transferred to the business seats. In addition to Xiao Yu, Johansson and others, Platini was seen sitting in the business seats.

"Oh my god, Platini is really here. Does he really want to fight Xiao Yu to the death as the outside world said? You know, this is the territory of the Red Rebels. If Platini If he loses, he has to apologize in front of tens of thousands of people, in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers? Can he do it?"

"Of course, the same goes for Xiao Yu. If the Red Rebels lose this game, he will also apologize to Platini, so this also makes this game different. Everyone is paying attention. Who will win the bet between these two people?"

"Listen, do you hear it?"

In the home team's locker room, Mourinho made a gesture of listening, indicating that the players should listen to the voices from the stands outside. He is a head coach who is very good at using the environment to infect his players.

"If I am not wrong, there is probably only one person besides our opponent Manchester United who can make us Red Rebel fans retaliate like this, and that is Platini!"

The players stood solemnly and straight, not moving.

Mourinho paced back and forth in the locker room, his eyes always wandering back and forth on the players.

"You all should know that the bet between Mr. Xiao Yu and Platini. If you think that it is just a bet between Mr. Xiao Yu and Platini, then you are wrong. That is not Mr. Xiao Yu. Human matters are also a bet between me, you, each of us Red Rebels and Platini."

Mourinho paused and continued: "Remember how Platini attacked us? Remember how he criticized us? Mr. Xiao Yu did it for me, for you, and for everyone. The counterattack made by the Red Rebels, I believe that at that moment, he never thought that he would lose, why?"

At the end, Mourinho's voice became louder and even caused a huge response in the locker room.

"Because he believes in me, believes in you, and believes that every Red Rebel will not let him down. He is always dedicating himself to the team at all costs, even knowing that if he loses this bet, , he will probably become the laughing stock of countless people, but he doesn’t care, because he wants to inspire you and all the Red Rebels!”

"Listen, the fans of the Red Rebels outside have already used their actions to support Mr. Xiao Yu, to support him, to take revenge on Platini, and now it's our turn!"

"As a head coach, my duty is to lead the team to defeat Manchester United and win the Champions League. This is the best way for me to repay Mr. Xiao Yu, and as a group of players, the way you support Mr. Xiao Yu is on the football field. Go up, use your unremitting efforts and your tenacious fight to defeat your opponents and win the championship trophy!"

The players were obviously aroused by Mourinho's words, and each of them seemed to have high morale, but Mourinho still felt it was not enough.

"I have to remind you, guys, this is a game we cannot afford to lose. Once we lose, not only will we lose the Champions League, not only will our dream of four crowns be shattered, not only will we lose Once again, it is a pity to end a season, and at the same time, we are also likely to lose a respectable club owner!"

The players were stunned when they heard this, but after thinking about it again, it is not difficult to guess that Mourinho is right to be worried.

Once the Red Rebels lose, Xiao Yu will apologize to Platini. With his character, he will probably no longer serve in the club. He will probably resign as chairman of the club early. , leaving the Red Rebels.

Although Xiao Yu has decided to leave sooner or later, the players still hope that he can stay for a few more years and lead the team forward, so at this time, they cannot accept Xiao Yu's resignation.

"Guys, Mr. Xiao Yu has been silently paying for us and supporting us all this time. Now, it's our turn. We must use our actions to support him, protect him, and use our best efforts to tell Mr. Xiao Yu, he is never alone, behind him there are me, you, and every one of us Red Rebels!"

"Can it be done?"

"Yes!" The players shouted with all their strength.

Watching the players gather their courage one by one, Mourinho knew that it was almost done.

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door of the locker room, and it was the staff who reminded Mourinho and others to prepare to enter.

The players walked out of the locker room one after another and entered the player tunnel. Not far away were the Manchester United players. However, although these Manchester United players seemed to have bad intentions, the Red Rebel players were even more vicious and ruthless.

Looking at the eyes of the Red Rebel players staring at them, each of the Manchester United players felt their hearts tingling. They felt that each of their eyes seemed to want to eat people. This kind of look made many people feel a little bolder. The younger players were a bit timid.

No one spoke in the tunnel, and apart from the voices of the fans coming from the stands, there was almost no conversation. The two teams stood clearly apart, even the one with the closest relationship, who was also the captain of the two teams, Neither Beckham nor Gary Neville, who stood at the front of the queue, made conversation.

At this moment, everyone has the same belief in their hearts, that is, to do their best to help their team win and to use all means to defeat their opponents.

The referee turned back and looked at the players' tunnel, feeling secretly surprised. The atmosphere in the players' tunnel was indeed a bit depressing, with a sense of suffocation before a big battle.

"Perhaps this will become a classic battle that will go down in history!"
