Red Rebels

68 The coquettish Aguero

As expected, Mourinho did not arrange for Asha to play in the Newton Heath Cup lineup, replacing Aguero.

The forward line is Drogba, the two wingers are Ronaldinho and Messi, the attacking midfielder Aguero, the double defensive midfielders are Cesc Fabregas and Essien, and the defense line from left to right is Evra and Vic. Dickey, Curtis and Alves, the goalkeeper is Cech.

This is the main lineup that Mourinho has focused on this season, and it is currently the best lineup of the Red Rebels. In addition to Essien and De Rossi in the defensive midfielder position, John Terry, Vidic and Coty are at the back. In addition to the competition between Sri Lanka, the main lineup of the Red Rebels this season will be arranged like this.

The game tactics still followed the traditional tactics of the Red Rebels, which focused on active running support. The players insisted on pressing forward from the beginning and actively launched counterattacks from the front, while Droysden played faster. concise.

The trident composed of Dzeko, Forlan and Ashley Young is Droyden's most powerful offensive weapon. Under Pellegrini's training, Dzeko has made great progress and his scoring ability has improved greatly. He is fast, coupled with his field background, excellent passing and teamwork skills, making him play a huge role in the Trident.

Forlan is the star player of Droisden. After switching to Droisden, Forlan told everyone with facts that he was not a parallel import. He was also in the UK and in Manchester. He performed poorly under Ferguson. , but under Pellegrini's training, he suddenly became Europe's leading forward.

Forlan scored 8 goals in the English League last season, and there was not a penalty kick among these 8 goals. In one fell swoop, he surpassed many powerful stars such as Henry and Ronaldinho and became the top scorer in the United Kingdom. He is also the best European scorer. The winner of the Golden Boot Award was very proud.

It can be said that Pellegrini created Forlan and also created Droisden.

The Bloods' game style is just like their nickname. They are hot-blooded and tough, but yet soft and very Latin-style. They pay attention to quick and concise passing and receiving, and the field organization relies more on the midfielder Huddlestone. , this English native star is very good in both offense and defense, which makes Pellegrini very satisfied.

Partnering with Huddlestone is Blood captain Mascherano, and in front is midfielder Milner. The three players are in a triangle position, which is a tough challenge for Deroys. Coupled with the attacking trident in front, Pellegrini built an iron army that didn't even have traditional frontcourt wide players in the British competition that attaches great importance to traditional wingers.

"Droysden's wing attack relies on their full-backs, so we have to suppress it from the beginning, turn the main attack, and take the lead in suppressing the opponent on the wing." Mourinho arranged the team's tactics before the game.

The ability of the Red Rebel players to execute tactics is indeed very high.

The magic wings composed of Ronaldinho and Messi are definitely the two most terrifying wings in today's football. Pellegrini knows this very well, so he arranged Leighton Barnes and Otamendi. They are all required to defend on the back line more often.

Despite this, the Red Rebels still frequently pose threats. The guard combination composed of Michael Dawson and Jagelka is frequently exposed to the guns of the Red Rebels. If it were not for the outstanding performance of these two English guards, the Red Rebels would I'm afraid it has already been broken.

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene was very warm. No matter whether the two sides touched the ball, they could enjoy high-level cheers without exception. This is also a major feature of the Newton Heath Cup, that is, there is no smell of gunpowder and the fans of both sides are very friendly.

However, the players on the field will not become friendly because of this, and even each of them is full of fighting spirit to win or lose.

The reason is very simple. The Red Rebels won the league championship with a huge advantage last season, which left Droylsden with no chance at all. It also made the Bloods players a little unconvinced, so they tried their best to win the league championship. To get back on track this season and beat the Red Rebels, the Newton Heath Cup is the start.

"O minutes into the game, the Red Rebels still controlled the situation on the field. Droysden could only frequently counterattack and look for opportunities, but we could see that Droysden's players and Pellegrini I’m not in a hurry at all, I’m obviously mentally prepared for this situation.”

"Playing against a super strong team like the Red Rebels, even Barcelona and Inter Milan have to be passive on the scene, being oppressed and controlled. That is natural. The key depends on how Pellegrini finds his way in such adversity. A chance to win”

"Judging from the scene, Pellegrini obviously still wants to make a difference from the right side of the Red Rebels. Alves attacks the strong and defends the weak. This is known to everyone. Pellegrini uses the right flank where he is stationed. The road was used as a breakthrough, but Mourinho must have expected it. Alves has always stayed in the backcourt after the start and rarely participated in frontcourt attacks. Droysden failed to find opportunities."

The on-site commentator's analysis also represents the situation on the field. Droylsden's offense is not effective and the situation is becoming more and more passive.

Pellegrini looked at Mourinho not far away. It was difficult to tell from his expression what he was thinking, but the provocation and desire in his eyes were clearly revealed.

In the eyes of many people, it was strange that Pellegrini jumped from the Argentine giants to Droylsden in the English Championship, but only he knew that it was Xiao Yu who convinced him.

Over the years, he has always had a desire, that is, one day he can coach the Red Rebels and work for Xiao Yu. He has even been thinking that if the Red Rebels were in charge of him, their offense would be sharper and more wild than now. It can definitely make the whole of Europe tremble.

Of course, he had to admit that Mourinho's tactics were more balanced and both offensive and defensive, but he still felt that Mourinho had not tapped the full potential of the Red Rebels. He proudly believed that if he were the Red Rebels, As for the head coach of the army, he will definitely do better than Mourinho.

He didn't say these words to anyone, but Mourinho was sensitive to Pellegrini's thoughts, just like a wife is always sensitive to her husband's affair.

The two have a good relationship, both enemies and friends, competing with each other and restraining each other. Although Mourinho has always won more and lost less, in fact the parties involved know best. If the players of both sides are put on the same starting line , Pellegrini may not lose to Mourinho.

Of course, the world is always unfair, and Pellegrini did not complain about this. On the contrary, under his training, Droysden achieved amazing results, which attracted him He received offers from countless wealthy teams, but without exception he rejected them all and chose to stay in Manchester.

At this time, Pellegrini looked at Mourinho with provocation in his eyes, as if to say, "Jose, is this really all you have?"

Time gradually passed, but the situation did not improve much. Mourinho always stood on the sidelines without making any adjustments, as if he had confidence in his players.

Sure enough, if you hold on for too long, you will lose. Droisden made a pass error. Essien intercepted the ball successfully and handed it to Aguero, who was retreating. The Argentine teenager immediately handed the ball to Drogba, and then he went straight forward. .

Drogba passed the ball to the left. After receiving the ball, Ronaldinho faced Otamendi near the left corner of the penalty area. After shaking off the opponent with a deft fake move, he dribbled the ball along the line of the penalty area and passed Dawson. After attracting the ball, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally behind him. After receiving the ball before everyone else, Aguero passed Jagelka smoothly.

Facing his former teammates, Joe Hart knew Aguero's strength. He chose to abandon the goal without hesitation, but Aguero suddenly shot the ball over his head and scored. It made an arc and hit the right side of the goal. Although Leighton Barnes desperately tried to block it, he failed in the end.

"In the 7th minute, the Argentine teenager Aguero scored a goal with a shot and scored a beautiful goal. This was also the fifth goal that Aguero scored in these warm-up matches at the beginning of the season. At the same time, He also scored in 5 consecutive warm-up matches. His recent form is really outstanding."

After Aguero scored, he seemed very excited. He broke away from his teammates who wanted to celebrate with him and ran all the way to the stands. Looking at the crowd above, he raised his hands high and made a heart shape with his thumb and index finger.

This celebration was a change he had made not long ago. No one knew what it was for or who his heart was for.

"Is this kid in love recently?" Ronaldinho asked Drogba who was nearby.

The latter shook his head, "I don't know, there is a generation gap between me and him."

Ronaldinho almost fell down, but that's right. Drogba is already 9 years old, but Aguero is only 9 years old. There should indeed be a generation gap between the two.

"But he seems to be very coquettish recently. I heard from Michael Johnson that he often gets up secretly in the middle of the night and hides in bed to make phone calls. He also buys a few sets of fashionable clothes and follows other people's trends. He didn't do these things before." Ba said again.

Ronaldinho couldn't help nodding and looked at Aguero's back. He also felt that this kid had become a lot more coquettish recently. Every time he scored, he would either make a heart shape in front of the stands or in front of the live broadcast camera. It looked so real. He is an innocent little virgin lost in the sea of ​​love.

Pellegrini was not angry about losing the ball, but felt a little helpless. A mistake by his team was seized by the opponent, but the goal was scored, which left him speechless.

He has always known that organizing players is Droylsden's weak link. The most suitable player was the Red Rebels' Michael Johnson, but Mourinho, a miser, made it clear that the England international was not for sale. Even Aaron ?Ramsey's loan was rejected because Mourinho wanted to cultivate himself.

Later, he wanted to introduce Arteta from Everton, but Moyes made it clear that he would not let him go, which forced Pellegrini to find another suitable player.

Pellegrini is currently paying close attention to the Argentine midfielder Gago, who is not reused in Real Madrid. The latter has not performed very well since joining Real Madrid. Pellegrini hopes to get him. Real Madrid is also transferring this season. A lot of money has been spent on the market, and there is indeed the possibility of selling Gago to cash out.

This goal conceded once again strengthened Pellegrini's idea of ​​strengthening the midfielder. Huddlestone alone cannot complete the entire season, and Droylsden will also participate in the Champions League in the new season. This gave Pellegrini even greater ambitions.

Although they were behind in the score, Droysden still didn't change much. The players executed tactics as always, working hard to resist the Red Rebels' attack, so that the passivity on the scene did not change much.

Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, looking motionlessly into the court. Although he said before the game that he would defeat the Red Rebels, this game was just a slightly more important warm-up match. If he could borrow the Red Rebels, For a strong team like the Rebels to test Droisden's tactics would be even more gratifying than winning.

Besides, the opponent is the Red Rebels. No one would think that losing to the Red Rebels would be the end of the world.

Of course, this does not mean that Pellegrini will show weakness and admit defeat. On the contrary, he still has options left.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the players from both sides shook hands with each other on the court to say goodbye. Several of them who were familiar with each other hugged and walked off the court side by side.

"Everyone can see that this is a very unique game. Both sides have always played in a friendly atmosphere, even if they have to decide the winner on the court."

"Pellegrini's team is indeed very methodical in restraining the Red Rebels' offense. Through interceptions on the field and the retreat defense of the forward line, it has indeed successfully contained the Red Rebels' offense. The score of o: It also makes people have greater expectations for the second half, maybe Pellegrini will give people an unexpected surprise in the second half."

The blood coach has become famous in the UK. In addition to single-handedly bringing out the iron army of Droysden, another point is his changes in the game, especially the changes during the break, which can often achieve unexpected results in the second half. As a result, Pellegrini was praised as a master tactician.

It is precisely because of this precedent that the on-site commentator reminded that the second half is the real key to victory or defeat.

As if to confirm what the on-site commentator said, Pellegrini made a decisive change during the break, replacing the underperforming Huddlestone with youngster Lennon, and changed the team's tactics to 44. Forlan Playing as a double forward with Dzeko, Ashley Young, Milner, Mascherano and Lennon played on the field, and the defense remained unchanged.

Judging from the overall position, Mascherano is at the back of the team, playing as a defensive midfielder, and Milner plays as a midfielder. However, both players are players with outstanding physical fitness. Milner's defensive ability is also very good. He is an offensive and defensive player, but Ashley Young and Lennon are very high up.

Although it is a cup competition that attracts much attention, the nature of the training is very obvious. Pellegrini is obviously using the Red Rebels to test his tactics and try to see if there is any chance.

But Mourinho did not disappoint him either
