Red Rebels

608 Mad dog-style grabbing around

"Players from both sides have appeared one after another!"

Amidst the wave of cheers from all the fans at the scene, the commentator shouted excitedly.

"The starting lineups of both sides have not changed, especially the Red Rebels. Among the 11 starting lineups this time, 7 people come from their youth training system, and there are also 4 youth training substitutes sitting on the bench. They are Fabregas, Essien, Robben and Ismail."

According to UEFA's definition of youth training players, as long as the player has received three years of training or competition in this club at the age of 21, he can be regarded as a youth training player of this team.

According to this regulation, many players including Cech, Fabregas, Aguero and others are considered youth training players of the Red Rebels. This makes the current starting lineup of the Red Rebels, including Cech, Evra, Curtis, De Rossi, Ronaldinho, and Messi are all direct descendants of the youth training. Although Kaká was loaned to Sao Paulo by the Red Rebels, he is nominally a player produced by the youth training.

Seven of the starting 11 players came from the youth training. Among the other four players, Terry was abandoned by Chelsea but became famous in the Red Rebels and grew up with the team. Maicon also came to the Red Rebels. Only after continuous improvement did he establish his position as the leading right back in today's football. Drogba's situation is similar to Maicon.

Beckham is a direct descendant of Manchester United, but after being kicked out by Manchester United, he not only created the peak of his career when he joined the Red Rebels, but also won the double Footballer of the Year, which made everyone couldn't help but marvel. The star-making abilities of the Red Rebels.

"Not only that, Sully Muntari of Manchester United can also be regarded as a member of the youth training camp of the Red Rebels. Senna is also a star recruited and cultivated by the Red Rebels from Brazil. In this way, the youth training camp of the Red Rebels has contributed to this. A world-famous final featured 9 stars, and this is not even counting the half-finished youth training, which shows the success of this youth training camp!"

Martin Samuel has always been full of praise for the youth training camp of the Red Rebels. He believes that the youth training camp of the Red Rebels is the reason why the Red Rebels dare to keep selling off their stars, regardless of whether they left in the first place. Palacio, or later leaving Ribery, Lahm and others, the strength of the Red Rebels was not greatly affected.

"I still remember that as the signature star of the Red Rebels' youth training, Curtis said something in an interview. The competition in the Red Rebels' youth training is very fierce. He must become the best player in each echelon of the club. Only then can I have the opportunity to enter the first team and play for the Red Rebels first team.”

"In an exclusive interview with Kassel, the godfather of the Red Rebels' youth training camp once said with a smile that the key word of the Red Rebels' youth training camp is competition. The youth team must compete, and the first team must also compete. It is competition that drives players to continue to work hard. The team has always maintained strong combat effectiveness.”

The on-site commentator smiled and nodded, "The youth training of the Red Rebels is indeed amazing, but Manchester United's youth training in the past is no less impressive. At present, in addition to Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and others in the first team, the Red Rebels' youth training is indeed amazing. Beckham, the soul of the rebels, also came from Manchester United's youth training, but the current youth training of this team seems to be a bit lacking!"

"Yes, but over the past few seasons, led by the Red Rebels, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and many other teams have joined the youth team training system, which has also improved the star-making ability of Manchester United's youth team. Coupled with their scouting network searching for semi-finished products from all over the world, I believe that the latest stars will appear soon."

Following the introduction by Martin Samuel and the live broadcast commentator, the players from both sides had finished guessing the sides and lined up on both sides of the court.

"Looking at the formation,

Manchester United's formation is more like 442. Does Ferguson want to return to the original 442 tactics? "The commentator on the scene was a little surprised.

Martin Samuel was also a little strange and shook his head, "No, judging from the position of the players, Rooney and Robinho are at the front, Alan Smith and Park Ji-sung are closer to the center, and Sully Muntari With Senna appearing in the double defensive midfielder position, the two full-backs move forward slightly, and the defense line is in a shallow saucer position. This is more like 4222!"

As he talked, Martin Samuel felt that he couldn't figure out what Ferguson was thinking. The 4222 formation has never been used by Manchester United. Could it be that it was developed during Manchester United's closed training during this period and was specially used to restrain the Red Rebels? Tactics?

When Martin Samuel was worried, the game started!

The Red Rebels took the lead in taking the kick-off, but Manchester United's formation quickly pressed forward and did not appear to be conservative at all.

Manchester United's frontcourt combination headed by Rooney, Robinho, Alan Smith and Park Ji-sung quickly pressed into the hinterland of the Red Rebels. The four players organized the first line of defense in the frontcourt and launched a fierce fight. The two defensive midfielders behind also pressed forward, and together with the full-backs, they formed a second line of defense, firmly surrounding the Red Rebels' midfield.

Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he saw this tactic in the stands. It can be said that Ferguson is further strengthening Manchester United's siege in the midfield and frontcourt based on the original regional defense, using the physical fitness and defense of the frontcourt players. Ability to "force" the Red Rebels' attack and destroy the Red Rebels' offensive route.

If you were to use a word that is familiar to domestic fans to summarize Ferguson's tactics, it would be a mad dog-style rush to press the siege!

Of course, unlike the pressing and pressing advocated by a certain domestic coach, Manchester United's pressing and pressing is more innovative and spreads to the entire field. It uses the overall movement of the personnel to defeat the Red Rebels and force the Red Rebels to It is difficult for players to organize an effective offense.

To a certain extent, Manchester United's pressing tactics did have an effect. Although the Red Rebels controlled the game after the opening, they failed to organize an effective offensive. Beckham, De Rossi and Kaká All under the tight control of the opposing players.

Manchester United's defense, like the Red Rebels, pressed very high, further enhancing the effect of pressing the ball.

"A master tactician is a master tactician. Even domestic coaches know how to seize the enemy. It is very interesting to use it in Ferguson and it can become the offensive tactic of the Red Rebels!" Xiao Yu Po said with a bit of a wry smile.

Beside him, Platini saw that Manchester United defeated the Red Rebels' attack, and he immediately felt happy. He is not a person who does not understand the ball. On the contrary, he understands the ball very well, so he It is clear that the Red Rebels' start has been suppressed and they will not be too passive. Then, it is time for Manchester United to use their own defensive counterattack tactics.

"After the game started, both sides were obsessed with fighting for the midfield. Obviously, no one took advantage. Manchester United invested heavily in the midfield, and the same was true for the Red Rebels. The pace of the game was fast and the two sides played very fiercely, but No one can take advantage of it.”

"Judging from the situation, the Red Rebels have a slight advantage, but Manchester United is not passive."

"The game lasted 15 minutes, but there was only one shot in the game. It was a long shot from Beckham outside the penalty area, which went slightly wide. Other than that, neither side could create anything good. Chance."

The situation on the field was very stalemate, both sides were obsessed with fighting for the midfield. Manchester United's pressing tactics were indeed a bit unexpected, especially since they also pushed the defense forward to resist the Red Rebels' attack.

Yes, there is indeed a large gap behind Manchester United, but why not the same behind the Red Rebels?

The key is to see how each other uses it!

In the 19th minute, Sully Muntari successfully intercepted the ball in the midfield and handed it to Senna. The Spanish international almost did not hesitate to choose a long pass. Rooney suddenly pulled to the left to get the ball, and then used his body to carry Maicon. , the latter was a little anxious and wanted to tackle Rooney's ball, but unexpectedly he was passed by him instead.

Rooney passed Maicon and went directly to the edge of the penalty area. Facing Curtis, he chose to split into the middle. At this time, Robinho, who had switched to the right, suddenly "cut in" from the back row. Fortunately, Cech struck out in time. , fell down and hugged the ball tightly in his arms.

"It's a pity that Manchester United organized a beautiful counterattack in the frontcourt. Rooney's pass almost created a good opportunity for Robinho to score. It's a pity that Cech is still Cech. Although the Czech goalkeeper was injured for half a year, after his return, In the two games I started, although I haven’t returned to my best form yet, my performance has been as solid as ever.”

But soon, Manchester United's offensive came again.

In the 22nd minute, there was another Ferdinand clearance. Sully Muntari's header was passed to Rooney on the right. Facing Evra, Rooney chose to cut across the middle and suddenly passed the ball. Fortunately, Curtis took the initiative to grab it. He cleared the ball out of bounds before Alan Smith, resulting in a foul ball.

"For two consecutive attacks, Manchester United's routine was the same. The defense relied on the first interception of Rooney, Alan Smith and Park Ji-sung, and the double midfielder composed of Senna and Sully Muntari formed the second line of defense. "Forcing" the Red Rebels caused the Red Rebels' attacks to hit the iron plate again and again."

"In terms of offense, once the ball is intercepted successfully, Manchester United's two forwards immediately pull to the wings, face the Red Rebels' full-backs alone, and then slowly move from the wings to the center to patiently look for opportunities."

Martin Samuel's face was also a little solemn, "Manchester United's forwards pulled to the wing, which really caused a lot of trouble for the Red Rebels' defense. Both forwards are players with outstanding personal abilities. , It’s hard to beat them one-on-one, as evidenced by the ball Rooney passed to Robinho just now.”

"But how to attack these two stars of Manchester United who are not tall but have outstanding personal abilities? I believe this will be a big headache for Mourinho, and Manchester United's full-court rushing tactics will give the Reds The rebels' offense has brought obstacles, Mourinho should think of a way to solve this trouble as soon as possible, otherwise, the Red Rebels will make mistakes sooner or later!"

It is impossible for any team or player to maintain high efficiency for 90 minutes in such a crucial game. Under huge pressure, they may make mistakes, and for opponents like Manchester United, Just one mistake could put the Red Rebels in a disadvantageous position.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines and stared at the field. Relatively speaking, Ancelotti caused him less trouble than Ferguson. This old man is a tactical geek who can always come up with some inexplicable tricks. Now, the tactics of rushing and encircling have been used.

Even though Manchester United's frontcourt players were pressing like mad dogs, through reasonable running and the organization of the defensive system, such a full-court pressing tactic brought exactly to the Red Rebels' offense. Trouble.

"It seems that Ferguson came prepared as he said!" Cassel came to Mourinho's side.

Mourinho smiled coldly, "So what?"

"Is there any way?" Cassel asked.

Mourinho nodded, "We have to observe it for a while."

After a while, Mourinho continued: "Manchester United's pressing in the frontcourt is indeed very fierce. The defensive line composed of the six players in front and the full-backs is indeed very strong, but they have a very strong defensive line. Did you notice the big flaw, Jim?"

Cassell frowned, "You mean... the wing?"

"Yes, Heinze and Gary Neville are not the kind of players who can take care of the entire wing by themselves. The purpose of not setting up wide players in the frontcourt is to attack our midfielder, especially Beckham. Tom, De Rossi and Kaká, but then their wings will be empty!"

There is absolutely no foolproof tactic in this world. There are gains and losses. The key is whether you can discover it and how to use it.

"Make full use of the wings and play on both wings!" Mourinho made decisive adjustments.

Drogba was running back and forth on the court. He was clearly aware of the team's situation, especially Manchester United's active fighting in the frontcourt, which made the Red Rebels' midfield a little exhausted and found it difficult to organize an effective attack. Offensive, the Ivorians had to frequently withdraw to participate in the organization.

But when Mourinho made adjustments, he immediately noticed something.

Over the years, having played under Mourinho continuously, Drogba, like many Red Rebel players, was always able to quickly detect the tactical significance behind Mourinho's adjustments, so he quickly adjusted My own way of playing football.

In the 32nd minute, the Red Rebels organized a quick attack. After De Rossi intercepted the ball in midfield, he immediately handed it to Beckham. The latter passed the ball directly to Drogba's feet without stopping.

Drogba used his body to hold on to Ferdinand, who was constantly trying to rush forward from behind. He could clearly feel the tremendous pressure Ferdinand put on him, but he refused to give in, especially When he retreated to catch the ball just now, he was already aware of the situation behind him.

I saw Drogba leaning on Ferdinand with his body, then suddenly knocked the ball diagonally to the wing and passed the ball to Evra who was running forward on the left. Evra dribbled the ball forward and hit Ronaldinho. When he was almost parallel to Gary Neville, an overhead kick was suddenly passed.

Ronaldinho passed Gary Neville at an extremely fast speed, and after receiving the ball without adjusting, he directly passed a low ball into the penalty area. At this time, Messi, who was originally on the left, had already quietly passed the ball diagonally. He broke out, cut across from the left into the penalty area, made a perfect pass to Ronaldinho, and comfortably made a push and shoot with his right foot into the far corner of the left side of the goal.

When Van der Sar saw Messi pounce, he didn't dare to attack. He just stood on the right side. When he reacted, he wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He could only watch the football go by. The goal post goes into the net.
