Red Rebels

78 Let the goal fly

When the players from both sides returned to the court, everyone realized that Sir Alex finally couldn't help but make adjustments and substitutions.

He could bear it, and he persisted in the Red Rebels' almost devastating offensive, persisting for the entire first half, and only made adjustments during the break. It was indeed a bit surprising.

But Sir Alex always has amazing ideas. Sometimes he succeeds and sometimes he fails. This is normal.

"O'Shea stood by the side of the pitch, waiting for the referee to signal a substitution. He will replace veteran Ryan Giggs. It seems that Ferguson is still satisfied with Park Ji-sung, or perhaps he has no more substitutes on hand. It’s a card.”

"After O'Shea came on the field, he stood next to Fletcher and Park Ji-sung. He obviously wanted to play as a defensive midfielder. This position is not unfamiliar to him. After Roy Keane left, O'Shea also made a guest appearance in the midfield. With his outstanding performance, he was once considered to be Keane's natural successor."

"Left back, right back, defender, midfielder, O'Shea can be said to be a versatile player in Manchester United's backcourt. After Keane coached Sunderland, there was news that he wanted to introduce him. It is said that Keane selected O'Shea. Taking over the reins of his defensive midfielder, he believes that if O'Shea can be more fierce and decisive, he will be an excellent defensive midfielder."

O'Shea has performed well as a rotation player this season. During the period when Gary Neville was absent due to injury, O'Shea played steadily. Ferguson praised O'Shea before the game and even joked that O'Shea's tactics His execution leaves no room for doubt.

"If I let him play forward, he will definitely bring me a lot of goals."

In this game, Ferguson also had no choice but to let O'Shea serve as the defensive midfielder and shoulder the defensive burden together with Fletcher and Park Ji-sung. Rooney also followed suit and retreated to defend. Now Manchester United only has one left in front. Robinho.

This situation seems a bit familiar, but the Red Rebels will not make the same mistake again.

…………

…………

During the break, I believe Ferguson should have used his hairdryer. After the start of the second half, the performance of Manchester United's players improved, but more on defense.

O'Shea serves as the defensive midfielder. Although he is not good at this position, he is versatile and has played this position. His responsibilities in the game are also very simple. Defense, interception, and steals are similar to the responsibilities of a defender. It just needs to be adjusted in position.

Behind the defender is the goal,

The defender is the last line of defense, and there is another line of defense behind the midfielder. The two are in different positions, and the decisions they can make are naturally different.

Judging from the progress of the game in the second half, O'Shea basically completed the tasks assigned by Ferguson very well, especially in the interception on the field. Some improvement.

After the start of the second half, the Red Rebels still took advantage of their numerical advantage to take the initiative on the scene. Manchester United fell into a passive defensive situation. However, the emergence of O'Shea still made Manchester United's defense much stronger, at least no longer as good as before. At halftime, it looked like it was going to be shaky.

The game passed by one minute and one second. The playing styles of both teams were very particular about fast-paced offense and defense transitions, which is also in line with the definition of modern football. Therefore, the game was very intense, but the scenes were still very exciting, and there would be one or two bright spots from time to time. , but no one could score again, especially the Red Rebels.

Kaka's performance in the second half was still eye-catching. He almost became the offensive radar of the Red Rebels in the frontcourt. He hit wherever he pointed. Almost all the offense of the Red Rebels was planned by Kaka's feet. O'Shea and Frye Che and others were almost exhausted in front of Kaka and could only barely hold on.

"Ferguson must have beaten these players," Cassel said depressingly after seeing another wave of Red Rebel attacks in vain.

Manchester United's performance in the second half has been greatly changed from the first half, especially the mental outlook of the players on the court, their courage to perform technical actions, and even some big kicks from time to time, including Rooney and others. , both received a yellow card.

However, Manchester United did not dare to be careless anymore and became cautious when getting cards. After all, if they were sent off again and had fewer people to fight against the Red Rebels, who could bear such a game?

"Should we make some adjustments?" Beckham asked with concern.

During this period of time, he has transformed from the original captain of the Red Rebels and the core of the team to an assistant coach of the coaching staff. The change of role has been relatively successful. Now he has the temperament of a young coach. After all, in the Red Rebels Having been immersed in football for many years, he has his own unique understanding of Red Rebel football.

Mourinho was also full of praise for Beckham's understanding. He even mentioned in a chat with Xiao Yu that it is estimated that according to the current situation, it won't be long before Beckham will not be satisfied with being a member of the Red Rebels. As an assistant coach, he might want to coach a team and try his hand at it.

Xiao Yu has also heard a lot of rumors about Beckham in the British football circle. After retiring, his performance in the coaching staff of the Red Rebels was still very good and he became Mourinho's right-hand man. This made many The British and British Championships, and even some foreign teams are interested in inviting Beckham to coach.

Of course, some people in these teams hold the idea of ​​introducing Beckham in the hope that he can create a Red Rebel II team. After all, the momentum of the Red Rebels is too strong now.

Xiao Yu also supports Beckham's independent coaching, so Mourinho will from time to time give guidance to Beckham during the game, so that he can start to play the game more like a head coach.

"No, David, it's not the time yet," Mourinho said with a smile. "The second half has only lasted for ten minutes, and the physical strength of Manchester United's players has been almost exhausted. In this case, it should be The time has come for us to play, if we make adjustments at this time, wouldn’t it be a wasted opportunity?”

The person who controls the game is often better at allocating physical energy than the opponent, and the party being controlled can often only make up for the lack of physical energy by consuming physical energy, so they are often the first to lack physical fitness.

Park Ji-sung's physical fitness was a bit lacking in the first half, and Fletcher, Taiwo, and Gary Neville's physical fitness was almost exhausted. Now only O'Shea on Manchester United's side has better physical fitness.

In this case, what the Red Rebels should do is to continue to increase their efforts

The best and most ideal direction to attack is naturally Manchester United's right wing.

…………

…………

After Mourinho's adjustment, Kaká quickly received instructions. The Red Rebels' offensive immediately shifted to the left. Ronaldinho gained more direct dialogue with Gary Neville on the left. Although Fletcher will also actively to help, but Aguero and Kaká of the Red Rebels are also actively moving closer.

What the Red Rebels are best at is this wolf pack tactic, seizing a loophole and hitting you hard until you collapse.

Mourinho's vision is very sharp. There is a problem with Gary Neville's lack of physical fitness. After all, he has just turned 4 years old and is not young at all. In this game, Manchester United was in a passive situation. Gary Neville was in a passive position. Neville's physical energy consumption is very serious, and now he is a little unable to cope with Ronaldinho.

The Portuguese did not respect the old and care for the young at all. With the cooperation of Aguero and Kaká, they frequently created threats on the left. Gary Neville was a little exhausted. As for the two defenders, they would provide support from time to time.

In the 7th minute, Ronaldinho received a pass from Evra on the left. Facing Fletcher, he chose to pass the ball across to Michael Johnson who stepped forward to support him. The English teenager immediately sent the ball out and handed it to the return player. Aguero withdrew.

The Argentine teenager took the ball with his back and was closely defended by O'Shea. He passed the ball across to Ronaldinho on the left.

After going around in a circle, the ball returned to Ronaldinho's feet, but this time he was no longer facing Fletcher, but Gary Neville, and the two were still facing each other.

After Ronaldinho took the ball, he quickly broke through on the left. Gary Neville kept retreating, trying to block Ronaldinho's angle, but the Portuguese suddenly stopped and changed direction, pulled out a position, and sent the ball to Enter the restricted area.

The ball came directly to Manchester United's penalty area. It was too late for Ferdinand to turn around. Ace was forced behind Kaká. He saw the Brazilian superstar stop the ball flexibly with his right foot. He took advantage of the situation and pushed his right foot to the left. Foot volley hook shot.

The shot came very quickly and suddenly. Although Adler reacted, he still couldn't stop the football from breaking. :o

The entire Red Rebel Stadium was completely boiling. Kaká was even more excited and immediately ran to the corner flag. He kept raising his head and praying. Then he came to the corner flag, hugged the corner flag pole tightly, and listened to the music in the stands. The singing of Kaka's song poured down.

"A beautiful and elegant goal, very calm. Kaká stopped the ball with his right foot and hooked the ball with his left foot. The whole process was done in one go. It was very clean and neat. It was a typical Kaká goal."

"This goal allows us to see Kaká's all-around ability. Although Ace behind him kept pushing Kaká, the Brazilian was still able to complete this shot so gracefully and calmly. This is really incredible. I admire Kaká’s playing style, it’s just like Zidane back then.”

The players of the Red Rebels came up one after another to celebrate with Kaká. Curtis was even more excited and picked Kaká up by the waist. Obviously no one expected that Kaká had not scored a goal for more than a year. Only two goals were scored, although one was a penalty kick, but the second goal was really beautiful.

…………

…………

After scoring again, Kaka planned several threatening attacks one after another, but the Red Rebel players never scored again, especially in the 76th minute, when Kaka sent a through ball in the penalty area. After a wonderful pass, Messi entered the penalty area and shot directly, but Adler saved the ball like a miracle.

Although he failed to complete the assist, Kaka's vision and judgment, as well as his calmness at the moment of passing the ball, made people believe that the world-class Kaka has really returned, and he also broke his goal drought. .

After that, the Red Rebels once again implemented indiscriminate bombing tactics against Manchester United's defense. Ferguson was obviously aware of Gary Neville's shortcomings and immediately replaced Gary Neville with Wes Brown, obviously wanting to strengthen the defense. intensity.

Mourinho still hasn't made any adjustments. Obviously, he saw that the morale of the players is high, and he should take this opportunity to continue to win, preferably to score a few more goals.

In the 79th minute, Kaká came to the right side of the road to receive the ball. Alves sent the ball to Kaká’s feet. The moment the Brazilian received the ball, he immediately got rid of Park Ji-sung behind him. The whole process was extremely fast, as if Park Ji-sung was thrown away. Treat it like a wooden stake, and then add it suddenly.

The combined Kaka is like a rampaging tank. Although he has experienced serious leg injuries, judging from his combined explosive power, the impact of the injuries on him is almost zero.

In the case of a high breakthrough, Kaka cooperated with Messi on the right. Messi sent the ball into the penalty area. After Kaka caught the ball before Ace, he suddenly stopped and shook away Ace. Adler directly pushed the shot into the far corner, but was unable to reach it: o

This goal completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Manchester United players and completely made them lose their will to resist. Even Ferguson had to kick away the mineral water bottle angrily on the sidelines. He didn't even understand how such a goal could happen. Can it also be entered?

Is it because Kaka is in such good shape? Or are Manchester United's players just terrible?

But there is no doubt that Park Ji-sung's insistence on playing the whole game and Ace's poor performance will definitely become a powerful weapon for the media to attack Ferguson after the game, especially Park Ji-sung. He was almost invisible for the whole game, and once he appeared on the live TV camera , that is a mistake. His only contribution is that Scholes' red card and Kaká's goal are both due to him.

After that, the Red Rebels also made several substitutions. Mourinho replaced Kaká, who scored a hat-trick, and German teenager Ozil made his debut, and then replaced Aguero with Neymar. Obviously It is to let the Brazilian genius feel some of the atmosphere of the Red Devils Derby. After all, a home victory gives Mourinho and the players more space.

But what no one expected was that after Ozil and Nymar came on the field, they immediately made contributions to the Red Rebels again.

In the 8th minute, the two players cooperated until the right side of the court. Ozil took the ball and faced Park Ji-sung, and started a two-on-one cooperation with Nymar who retreated to support. Park Ji-sung could not intercept the ball from Ozil's feet. The sudden shovel tripped Ozil to the ground, but the ball rolled towards the road.

The referee ran over and showed Park Ji-sung a yellow card without hesitation. This was also the Korean's first yellow card in this game. He can even be said to be Manchester United's best player in this game. He is very elegant. , comparable to Brother Xiaosa.

But that's when the change happened.

Rooney was grumpy. He believed that Park Ji-sung's foul was unnecessary and it was within the range of a direct free kick that could attack the goal. Everyone knows that Michael Johnson and Ronaldinho are both good free kickers. A foul here would not be allowed. Does that mean giving them a chance?

Rooney was so angry when he saw the ball flying towards him that he kicked the ball hard towards Park Ji-sung. He obviously wanted to teach Park Ji-sung a lesson, but he didn't expect that he was not good at shooting. , the ball actually hit the referee in front of Park Ji-sung.
