Red Rebels

fifth crown

Sometimes, you have to lament that the English media is so pervasive that you even have to wonder, is there anything going on in the world that they don't know about at all? Especially when they are paying attention to you all the time

God knows what kind of brain structure these people have, but they know everything.

The news that Maradona came to the Newton Heath training base was known to the media that afternoon. Since the club did not intend to hide this matter, maybe the player told a familiar reporter, or It doesn't matter which staff member of the club made the revelation.

Now that it was known, Xiao Yu took the opportunity to hold a press conference at the Newton Heath training base, bringing Maradona and the club's head coach Mourinho to attend the press conference.

At the press conference, Maradona expressed his intention to join the Red Rebels. In addition to serving as an intern coach with the Red Rebels, he has also enrolled in the Red Rebels coaching training course. He will be in the Red Rebels for at least the next six months. He will study in Manchester until he gets his coaching certificate.

"Why the Red Rebels?" Maradona smiled and seemed to be in a good mood when facing reporters' questions. "Because they play the best football in the world, attacking and defending, controlling and pressing. I can hardly find another team in the world that is as good as the Red Rebels.”

"I have always been a fan of the Red Rebels. I think the success of this team is not accidental. Although it may not be replicable, I hope to learn something more profound from the Red Rebels and strengthen my understanding of football. knowledge, enrich my coaching skills, and then I will consider becoming a head coach.”

"Is this your comeback declaration, Mr. Maradona?" A reporter immediately asked with a smile.

Maradona smiled noncommittally: "Maybe, everything will have to wait until I get the coaching certificate."

"But without that certificate, you can still be a head coach. I believe there are countless teams around the world who are eager to hire you to coach."

Maradona smiled and shook his head, "But the show is more of a show than a coach. I really love the sport of football. I hope to be able to seriously engage in the job of a coach. I will do it just like when I play football. To approach this job, treat the other coach like the guy who's guarding me."

"I hope that during this period in Manchester, everyone will not pay attention to me all the time and can give me a quiet study environment. For this, I must thank Mr. Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels for giving me such an opportunity. It allows me to learn from Mourinho, the manager I admire most."

“My goal now is simple;

Half a year or a year later, when everyone appears in front of him, except for a former football player, everyone will say, look, that is a good coach. Then a few years later, the fans will only remember one person. Besides Maradona as a player, you also have to remember that I am also an excellent head coach, just like Beckenbauer."

The reporters were immediately in an uproar. They were all a little confused about Maradona's polite request. After all, the football king's personality was very out-of-the-box. It would be difficult for him to actually study a boring coaching course in Manchester for half a year or even a year. Not small.

"No, I have to clarify that in the Maradona I know, what I see is persistence and desire, so I believe that he will fulfill his guarantees and fulfill his promises, and at the same time I also believe that he will become an excellent head coach, so I have no doubt about his persistence and that he will be able to complete this course."

Faced with the reporter's suspicion, Xiao Yu showed his sincere trust in Maradona. Especially when the reporter suspected that Maradona was taking the opportunity to show off, Xiao Yu even refuted it.

Regardless of whether Maradona came to the Red Rebels for an internship, his real motivation was more for learning or more for show. Xiao Yu didn't care. What he really cared about was that that night at the New Butcher's Knife Stadium. In the office, he saw from Maradona the shouts of a very pure fan.

As an avid fan, a Maradona fan, and a fan full of respect for Argentine football, Xiao Yu believes that he should not doubt Maradona at all, but should choose to trust and give him such Chance

"Mr. Mourinho, will the arrival of the world champion bring some changes to the Red Rebels?" Another reporter asked a topic that many people are concerned about.

Mourinho shook his head, "No, he is just an ordinary intern at the Newton Heath training base. My colleagues and I, as well as the players, will not associate his identity with the outside world. He also asked us to call him Diego instead of Maradona, which proves that he thinks the same as us."

"I have great confidence in Maradona, he has learning skills, I will tell him everything he wants to know, and we all believe that we can also learn from Maradona A lot of stuff, because he was one of the most incredible players on the planet."

The press conference quickly turned into a stage for Mourinho and Maradona to praise each other. The reporters were a little disappointed that they did not detect the smell of gunpowder from Mourinho. After all, the Portuguese has always flaunted his The most special person in the team is himself, but now that a special Maradona has arrived, is there no problem?

There was indeed no problem, because Maradona was always punctual in the next few days. He came to the training base on time, abided by the club's rules and regulations on time, actively participated in the work that the intern coach was responsible for, and would target himself from time to time. Ask questions when you have doubts, and Mourinho and Cassel will give answers without hesitation to help him solve the problem.

Maradona also signed up for the Red Rebels coaching training class and became the biggest student in the class. This caused a great response, especially when the incident spread to the world, and there were even many chasing horses. Maradona's fans all actively asked to join the Red Rebel coaching training class, just to be able to become classmates with Maradona.

But at this time, the Red Rebel system began to come into play. It is not a casual matter to participate in the coach training class. All applicants must undergo an assessment, and even if they pass the assessment, they can only participate in the initial training. Only those who pass the initial training Only after training assessment can higher level training be carried out.

Each level of coaching training can obtain different levels of coaching certificates. Maradona also started from the initial training, but his goal is to obtain the highest level of coaching the national team, or the next level coaching certificate.

Despite this, the Red Rebels coaching training course still saw a rush of registration, and many fans even gathered outside the training center during the course just to see Maradona's true face.

Sometimes you have to admit that fans are crazy. If you want to calm down their madness, you can only hope that time will slowly fade away and let them gradually get used to Maradona's presence.

After a week of rest, the Red Rebels went south to London's New Wembley Stadium to participate in the 2007 Community Shield.

The construction of the disaster-ridden Wembley Stadium has finally been completed, which makes the Football Association breathe a big sigh of relief. Although it is slightly later than Xiao Yu's previous life, the facilities must be more complete. After all, there are red With gems like Rebel Stadium ahead of us, Wembley Stadium has naturally undergone appropriate improvements.

You know, the Red Rebel Stadium may not be as good as some World Cup stadiums in Germany in terms of high-tech facilities, but when it comes to advanced level and practical functions, the Red Rebel Stadium is definitely a model. Even after hosting the Champions League final, the Red Rebel Stadium It is hailed as the most perfect stadium in the world by mainstream media around the world.

Among other things, Real Madrid wants to renovate the Bernabeu Stadium. Florentino sent a team of experts to the Red Rebel Stadium to observe and learn in the early years, and learned a lot of experience. Real Madrid's training base is known as luxurious. , but many details are also borrowed from the Red Rebels' Newton Heath training base.

In addition, many World Cup stadiums in Germany and new stadium plans being brewed by many Serie A giants have drawn on the experience of the Red Rebels.

It can be said that the Red Rebel Stadium has become a benchmark for football stadiums to a large extent. All of this relied on Xiao Yu's precautions, which made the Red Rebel Stadium very advanced in all aspects.

The first game held after the renovation of Wembley Stadium was a charity match, and the Community Shield Cup was the first official match. In addition, the Red Rebels vowed to win the Grand Slam, and Droysden was another Last year's British runner-up made this heavyweight contest attract the attention of countless fans, and all the 90,000 seats at the venue were full.

Pellegrini continued to use the configuration he used against the Red Rebels in the Newton Heath Cup. Although Droisden had previously signed Argentine midfielder Gago from Real Madrid, Pellegrini did not use this configuration. Instead of playing the defensive midfielder he values ​​​​very much, he continued to rely on the defensive midfielder combination of Huddlestone and Mascherano.

The pace of the game is very fast. After all, neither team is a ball-controlling team. Both teams tend to play more unrestrainedly and pay attention to smooth cooperation, which is very enjoyable to watch. However, the restraint between each other is still very obvious, and the competition on the field is very fierce.

The Red Rebels' lack of Kaka still has a great impact. Aguero looked very excited on the court, sprinting back and forth, frequently threatening Droylsden's goal, and his cooperation with Ronaldinho, Messi and Drogba was also very good. There is a good understanding, but the support on the field is not enough, which makes the frontcourt a little out of touch.

Mourinho discovered a problem after ten minutes of the opening. He asked Beckham to press higher and have a wider running range, which made up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

Although both sides created many opportunities in the first half, they failed to score and entered the second half as o:o.

During the break, neither side made any changes. Perhaps considering that Pellegrini was also watching, Mourinho did not make substitutions. Instead, he continued to trust the players and asked them to increase their frontcourt defense against DeRoro. Easton's suppression.

In the 49th minute, Beckham received a pass from De Rossi and suddenly counterattacked, passing the ball to Drogba who was retreating to receive the ball. The latter passed it to Messi who was approaching from the right.

The Argentine teenager passed the ball to Aguero, who knocked back. Messi leaned in and passed Mascherano. Then he passed the ball straight to Ronaldinho, who passed the ball diagonally at the front of the penalty area. On the right, Aguero stepped in from the back row and shot an earth-shattering shot in front of everyone, once again piercing the gate guarded by Joe Hart: o

Beckham, Drogba, Messi, Aguero and Ronaldinho all cooperated with each other within two touches of the ball. During the whole process, the players ran in tacit understanding with each other and cooperated skillfully, just like threading a needle. Easton's tight defense completely collapsed under the scalpel-like passing and cutting cooperation of the Red Rebel players.

Aguero's last shot was also very beautiful and calm. He is worthy of being the famous one-shot king of the Red Rebels.

After scoring the goal, Aguero wanted to run to the sidelines to celebrate in the shape of a heart as always, because he knew that Gianna was in the stands above Mourinho's coach, but when he saw Marado When Nana stared at him with a gloomy face, he suddenly fell silent and forgot about everything. He was pushed to the ground by his teammates who were chasing after him.

"This kid deserves a beating," Maradona snorted coldly.

Mourinho and Cassel looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Perhaps due to the inevitable consequences of his father-in-law and son-in-law, Maradona has particularly strict requirements for Aguero, even harsh. Not only does he often teach Aguero a lesson about the mistakes he made in training, but he also often scolds him. , think his attitude is a bit loose and exaggerated, think he should be more serious.

As everyone knows, Maradona himself could not be serious back then, but now he has a straight face, which is really dumbfounding.

But everyone, including Messi and Ronaldinho, learned a lot from Maradona when he was training Aguero. After all, Maradona was the number one player in football back then. He may not be able to inherit his skills, but at least he can learn the experiences and lessons of many top players in football, which is enough for them to benefit from.

After taking the lead, Mourinho had no intention of continuing to compete with Pellegrini. He saw that Pellegrini seemed to want to counterattack and immediately changed his formation, but this time it was in the 55th minute. Use Essien to replace Aguero, use Essien, De Rossi and Beckham to play as the three midfielders, and then let Essien stand on the right side. Once Alves comes forward, he will be responsible for Alves. Fill in.

The scene immediately changed. Although Pellegrini made adjustments with substitutions, it was still unable to change that Droylsden was suppressed by the Red Rebels throughout the game. After several failed counterattacks, it was almost defeated by the Red Rebels. The rebels counterattacked, and then Pellegrini announced that he had no move.

The game finally ended: o. Although it was only a small victory, the Red Rebels got their fifth championship as they wished.
