Red Rebels

747 Kaka’s Realm

Chelsea fans will go crazy when their most unpopular team comes to Stamford Bridge

They will try every means to deal with and attack their opponents, especially when their opponents take the lead at Stamford Bridge, all kinds of attacks will definitely come more violently.

The best manifestation is that when the Red Rebels get the ball, there will be an overwhelming burst of boos in the Stamford Bridge stands; when the Red Rebels players fall to the ground, there will be curses and insults in the stands, and even some people. Some fans who were closer would stand up and open their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to bite people.

Rijkaard's expression was very serious. In this game, he still insisted on the tactics used by Chelsea. However, on the field, he arranged three midfielders, two of whom were more defensive, namely Felipe. Melo, Deco and Lass Diarra, and Melo is known as the new Emerson, Lass Diarra is the new Makelele, which shows how powerful Rijkaard is against the Red Rebels Fear of attack power.

But even though Rijkaard was based on defense, the Red Rebels still showed strong strength in this game.

Ronaldinho and Aguero scored two consecutive games for the Red Rebels in the first half, allowing the team to win away games: ahead of Chelsea, Kaká faced Melo, Deco and Las Diarra. Surrounded, he still performed well, contributed two assists to the team, and planned many threatening passes. He was the most dazzling star in the game.

In the second half, after Chelsea adjusted after the break, although they had 0 minutes to counterattack after the kick-off of the second half, the Red Rebels quickly used their offensive to suppress Chelsea's counterattack, but the two sides still fought fiercely on the court. Fighting, the competition is very fierce.

Melo and Lass Diarra are both ruthless characters. After seeing that the Red Rebels could not be dealt with with their special style of play in the first half, Rijkaard saw that the referee on duty was relatively soft on the penalties, so It signaled the players to step up their actions, especially after the initiative gradually returned to the Red Rebels.

The Chelsea coached by Rijkaard is not a soft type like Ancelotti. He attaches great importance to technical and tactical coordination, but he also emphasizes physical fighting. Therefore, he advocated the introduction of Felipe Melo and retained LaLazio. Diarra's purpose is to strengthen the team's backcourt.

Such a team can be soft or hard. The team's temperament may not be as gentlemanly as it was during Ancelotti's time, but it is obviously more in line with the current fierce competition in England. Only teams with hard lives can survive. the principle of competition

Looking at the time, o minutes have passed in the second half, but the score is still o:. The Red Rebels still control the situation on the field. Chelsea is a little exhausted. The defense on the field is very fierce, and they do not give the Red Rebels too much for a while. Chance.

The game fell into a stalemate,

But the action on the field is getting bigger and bigger.

…………

Mourinho also had a cold face. The Red Rebels are not afraid of such a tenacious team. After all, their team has been playing in the lower leagues of England all the way. The players have been hanging out together for so long. After so many years of training, I have encountered all kinds of opponents.

But the situation now is different

The Red Rebels still have many key games to play, and they must go all out in every game, especially this week's game against Manchester United. Currently, many players in the team are injured. After the winter break, the players have not had a chance to breathe until now. They are either fighting on multiple fronts or during the national team game week.

"They made it clear that they were aware of this, so they played so hard in the second half," Cassel scolded angrily from the side, "It's also my fault that the referee is too weak in enforcing the law. Look, Melo's He raised his feet so high, but he still didn’t give me a card, I’m so stupid.”

The team's current results are good, leading the league, and the momentum in the Champions League is also good, but the current schedule is the key. If they cannot maintain this momentum, they may get nothing in the end.

It is precisely because of this that almost everyone on the team, from the coaching staff to the players, is under a lot of pressure.

"Jose, it's been 75 minutes, are you considering a substitution? Leo is slightly injured, and Curtis is also injured. Michael Johnson will play in the Champions League next week. If anything happens at this time, just in case……"

Cesc Fabregas is absent due to injury. Michael Johnson is the Red Rebels' best choice for the organizational midfielder position. Mourinho has great trust in him. Relatively speaking, Aaron Ramsey seems too immature. Well, Mikel focuses on defense and light offense, which is relatively not a good choice.

"Let John and Jack Rodwell warm up," Mourinho nodded. He finally couldn't wait any longer.

After the reform, England has fully kept up with the mainstream of continental Europe. In addition to the first team registration being limited to 5 people, the bench for each game can have 7 people, compared with 5 before.

Don't underestimate this substitute quota. For a head coach, multiple quotas mean a variety of different tactical changes. In many games, substitutes are often the key to determining the trend of the game.

John is John Obi Mikel on the bench. Mourinho did not bring Aaron Ramsey with him in this game because he felt that the youngster was not yet qualified to play in such a critical match. He had the ability to play, and he had already made his plans before. He attacked for a while at the beginning, and then slowed down after scoring a goal, allowing Mikel to go up and strengthen the defense.

It was just that Chelsea played so fiercely later that Mourinho had to delay his plan again.

He had already asked Drogba to come on and replace Aguero, allowing the team to play more directly and skillfully in terms of technique and tactics.

These two substitutions are obviously in preparation for Zhou's game.

But just when Mourinho decided to make substitutions, some changes happened on the court.

…………

…………

Kaka's recent form has been very good and outstanding. He has scored consecutive goals before. His form is also very good in this game, with two assists. However, he is still not very satisfied with his performance. He is eager to score goals.

Many people say that Kaka has been obsessed with his recent momentum. He can score and assist almost anything. Ronaldinho, Aguero and Messi, the strongest trident combination in Europe, all seem a bit awkward in front of him alone. gloomy.

But he didn't take these honors too seriously, because he knew that he owed too much to the Red Rebels and their fans.

During the season when he was recuperating from injury, the club took all the pressure off of him, did everything possible to create a relaxed environment for him, and gave him unlimited trust. The players did not complain at all about Kaka leading the first place. Although he did not make any contribution with his salary, everyone was just supporting him and wishing him an early return to the court.

When someone offered to buy Kaka, the first reaction of the Red Rebels was to refuse. The first reaction of the Red Rebels fans was to sneer. Who can afford Kaka?

All of this moved Kaka very much. He once vowed that if he returns to the court, he will give everything in return to the Red Rebels and Red Rebel fans. Therefore, he performed very well this season, but earlier At that time, he fell into a goal drought.

Until recently, he broke the goal drought. After that, the momentum of scoring goals was out of control, and his whole state seemed to be blowing out.

He had no way to describe that feeling, and he had no way to share this experience with others. It was his own experience, but the feeling he felt when playing on the court was very simple, indescribably simple. , there is a feeling of simplifying the complex and explaining the profound things in a simple way.

That is a state of playing football that only a few people can achieve. The most recent one should be Zidane. Ronaldinho has almost reached it, but his progress has been very slow in the past few seasons, which has caused him to The level has stagnated, and gradually it is far away from this realm.

When seeing Kaka's performance, almost the whole world has a feeling, elegant, calm, indifferent, smart...

The feeling of playing football is very Kaká's. It is different from Zidane, Ronaldo and everyone else. It is a unique taste that belongs to Kaká.

So the Red Rebels' frontcourt, led by Kaká, entered another realm.

But Kaka is still a person after all, just like Zidane is also a person. They cannot escape the boundaries of football players, and they will all encounter stubborn resistance from their opponents.

After Michael Johnson and Essien jointly stole the ball, England's midfielder passed forward. Kaká retreated to catch the ball. Felipe Melo followed suit, but Kaká turned around and suddenly stepped forward at the moment he stopped the ball. It was easy. After getting rid of Merlot, the whole process was like flowing water, very natural and calm.

Melo knew the strength of his teammates in the Brazilian national team. He had been very, very careful, but he was still tricked by Kaka again and again. He could only regretfully turn around and chase after him, and then he saw a black shadow. Kill with a diagonal stab.

Las Diarra sliding tackle

Kaka jumped up to avoid it, but he still fell to the ground and the ball was broken.

This was a vicious tackle. The referee suspended the game without hesitation, showed Lass Diarra a yellow card, and seriously warned the French midfielder. This was also the first card he showed in the game. yellow card.

Mourinho had nothing to say. He just quickly called Mikel and Rodwell back to prepare for substitutions.

But at this moment, Kaka was lying on the ground and did not get up.

"What's going on? Kaka seems to be injured?" Andy Gray was a little worried.

Kaká has given fans a brand new football experience this season. His elegant and calm style of play makes people almost worship him. If he is injured again or relapses from an old injury, the situation will be terrible.

The team doctor of the Red Rebels rushed out immediately to observe Kaka's injury, and the Red Rebels players gathered around him one by one.

"It's nothing serious. My foot was twisted when I landed on the ground. It's not serious."

After saying that, the team doctor helped Kaka stand up. Two team doctors supported Kaka and limped off the court.

"How's it going?" Mourinho rushed forward immediately.

"It should be fine. The old problem is fine, and the knee is fine. It's just that the ankle is a little damaged, but this is just a preliminary estimate. We won't know the details until we go back, but we will definitely not be able to play this game. "

"What about the next game?" Mourinho asked anxiously.

The next game is the Champions League semi-final away to the Red Devils and Manchester United. Players such as Ronaldinho and Cesc Fabregas are already absent. If Kaká is also absent, then the situation of the Red Rebels will not be good.

"I don't know. If the injury is not serious, I should be able to make it in time."

The league is on Saturday, but the Champions League semi-final round is on Tuesday. The interval is only a few days. Even if it is just a minor sprain, how much recovery can be achieved by then is unknown.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm fine," Kaka said with a smile.

But the big beads of sweat on his forehead gave him away. The more Mourinho saw him like this, the more worried he became.

After losing Kaka for a season, the Red Rebels only won one league championship trophy last season, which was won by relying on the overall strength of the team. However, in the Champions League, the team stopped in the top 8.

Some people may find it strange that the Red Rebels look very strong, but just because they are strong does not mean they will be strong in the Champions League.

The knockout round is different from the league. The league is a long-term battle and tests the overall strength of the team, but the knockout round tests targeted tactics and on-the-spot performance, so the knockout round is relatively more risky.

Even if they are as strong as the Red Rebels, Mourinho would not dare to be careless when encountering Manchester United.

In terms of strength, with all aspects complete and the players in good condition, the Red Rebels are definitely at least one step ahead of Manchester United. However, it is the end of the season. If Ferguson arranges tactics for the Red Rebels to specifically restrain them. As for the formation, Mourinho is not sure of victory.

If Xiao Yu were here, he would definitely think of the Champions League in the previous 09/0 season, when Inter Milan led by Mourinho eliminated Barcelona in the semi-finals in two rounds. From the looks of things, Inter Milan lost to Barcelona by several blocks, but In the end, the result was surprising. Why?

Mourinho specially arranged tactics to restrain Barcelona

There are quite a few similar examples, but if you analyze them carefully, you will find that most of them exist in the knockout rounds.

This is the charm of the Champions League knockout rounds

Kaka's injury ended up casting a shadow on Mourinho, who had to improvise and replaced Kaka with Ozil, and then replaced the injured Curtis with Rodwell.

After making substitution adjustments, the performance of the Red Rebels was somewhat affected. Ozil is only 0 years old. Regardless of experience or strength, he is not unable to replace Kaká. After Rodwell came on, the Red Rebels The Rebels retreated, causing the team's offensive momentum to slow down.

The subsequent games gradually entered a stalemate between the two sides. Chelsea wanted to reverse the situation. Ronaldinho created several opportunities on the left, but fortunately Terry performed steadily. Alves also defended with all his strength. Able to consolidate the right wing, Chelsea's attack failed to work.

The score of the game was finally determined to be o:, and the Red Rebels defeated Chelsea with difficulty in the away game.

After the game, Ferguson, who also defeated his opponent, received good news.
