Red Rebels

789 Kill Barcelona

"Many people say that we have no chance at the Red Rebel Stadium. I don't know what you think about this, but what I want to say is that we are Barcelona and we are a team with a proud history. of Barcelona”

In the visiting team's dressing room, Guardiola, although he was a little uneasy, still put on a confident look. His purpose was just to mobilize the atmosphere of the players as much as possible in the away game and let them play in this crucial game. Show your strongest strength in the game.

Only in this way can Barcelona possibly defeat the Red Rebels

"I can't stop people from outside. They say we are afraid of the Red Rebels. I don't want to refute, nor do I want to clarify or prove anything. In fact, we eliminated this invincible team in the Champions League in the 07/08 season. team, so they will find any excuse to cover up their failure."

"Could this be evidence that we are afraid of the Red Rebels?"

"Do you really think that we are inferior to the Red Rebels?"

"Or do you really believe in your hearts that our current position in the La Liga standings is due to luck?"

Each and every one of the Barcelona players seemed to have regained some energy. After being roared and booed by the Red Rebel fans during the warm-up, even the most determined captain Puyol was inevitably a little dazed, but now , stimulated by Guardiola, they all suddenly became more awake.

"No" Puyol blurted out.

However, in the locker room, this response seemed very sluggish, and there were also two or three sparse voices of support. This made Guardiola very dissatisfied, and he even doubted the players' fighting spirit and motivation.

"Answer me, do you really think you are not as good as those bastards opposite you?" Guardiola was clearly angry.

"No!" This time, the voice became much louder. Even the foreign players stood up one by one with Puyol and others, shouting with red necks.

After Guardiola took charge of Barcelona, ​​although due to the strength of the Red Rebels and England, and due to the ban on transfer signings last season, his results have not been very satisfactory, but after all, he is Barcelona's legendary superstar, with prestige and prestige in the team. With his status, even the likes of Puyol dare not confront him, let alone younger players like Iniesta who have regarded him as their idol since childhood.

Seeing that the morale of the players had been mobilized, Guardiola nodded with satisfaction, and then said some words of encouragement to stabilize the morale of the players.

After all, morale is very important when playing against a team like the Red Rebels.

However, more importantly, the players must see the hope of defeating the Red Rebels

"The Red Rebels are known as the invincible battleship. They have won all the games this season, but we have also won all the games, and we must see that behind their powerful attack power, there is a hidden danger."

While speaking, Guardiola walked to the tactical board and slapped it hard, "The Red Rebels' double midfielder configuration seems reasonable, but as the team's offensive and defensive transition metronome, the double midfielder It is the key to operation, so in this game, we must try our best to press hard in the frontcourt, that is, the Red Rebels' backcourt."

"The defense of the field should focus on regional defense and freeze the space for the Red Rebels to play the ball and advance forward."

This field defensive tactic was invented by Werder Bremen. After being perfected by Ferguson, Van Gaal and others, it has now become one of the most effective tactics to restrain the Red Rebels. However, if you can complete this tactic and achieve the ideal There are very few teams with good results. The reason is simple. They lack the means to score.

"After we got the ball, we immediately passed the ball long and looked for gaps in the Red Rebels' defense, especially on the two wings and behind the defenders, especially Curtis, who often stepped forward to protect the back. waist, so be sure to take good care of this.”

Long passes are obviously against Barcelona's football philosophy. Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro and others all grew up under the influence of short passes. The triangular short passing coordination has almost become his instinctive reaction. Now that they are suddenly asked to pass the long ball, it is definitely a huge change.

But judging from the expressions of Harvey and others, none of them looked surprised. It was obvious that they had been preparing this set of tactics for some time. After all, it had been more than half a month since the lottery results came out. , there is plenty of time to prepare.

"I want all of you to understand one thing, that is, in the world we live in, there has never been a perfect team, including the Red Rebels. Compared with other teams, the Red Rebels are only as strong as It’s just that they disguise their shortcomings so much that the whole world can’t find them, but behind the disguise is their fatal weakness.”

Guardiola had to admit that today was the most talkative pre-match pep rally since he took charge. Originally, he always felt that what should be said has been said before, and what should be done was prepared before the game. Yes, it is very immature and irrational to start mobilizing before the game and change tactics temporarily.

But I don't know why, he still said so much today, and he even couldn't help but blurt out some words.

Perhaps, in these words, there is his almost helpless complaint against the Red Rebels, complaining about why the latter can be so powerful, and also his jealousy towards the Red Rebels, jealousy that the latter can dominate the entire world so powerfully. World football.

Playing the most offensive and entertaining artistic football in the world; monopolizing several superstars with the most appeal in the world; occupying the finances of the most successful club in the football world all year round, all of this is almost impossible. Represents a perfect football club.

Guardiola has not personally experienced the strength of the Red Rebels in the Grand Slam in the o6/o7 season, but he has experienced it. He knows how powerful the Red Rebels were at that time, but today's Red Rebels The rebels are far stronger than before.

After saying these words, Guardiola sighed deeply. He still had many more things to say, but he also knew that the time and place were not suitable. The game was about to start, Villanova There are still things to explain.

Guardiola turned around and glanced at Villanova, who nodded and walked over immediately, while Guardiola simply walked out of the locker room.

No one knows what Villanova is saying in Barcelona's locker room. It's all just a mystery.

In the home team's locker room at Red Rebel Stadium, the players were all sitting quietly in their seats. Their breathing was fairly even, and they didn't have the irritability they had before the big game.

Curtis was arranging his shorts over there. They seemed a bit tight and awkward, and he couldn't get them right. After struggling for a long time, the players were resting there one by one, or Talk, or just watch Curtis stick his hand in his crotch.

Men's soccer players just don't have it, especially in the summer

"Okay, guys." Mourinho looked at the time and saw that it was almost up. He clapped his hands vigorously a few times to signal the players to pay attention. Everyone in the locker room immediately looked up.

"This is not an important game. To be honest, guys, this is just an ordinary Champions League group match. The opponent is a guy called Barcelona, ​​but..." Mourinho said here, He paused deliberately, and then said with a smile: "Do you think they will be our opponents?"

Mourinho rarely used his eyes to look funny and looked at the players in amusement, while everyone laughed and shook their heads.

"I don't think they have a chance. Without diving, without trying to cheat penalties, and without acting to help us apply for red and yellow cards, I even think we can start the game and let them have an O:, and then slowly chase them. return"

Mourinho's words made the players present feel a sense of confidence, a strong, unprecedented confidence in themselves. It was a kind of domineering. After many years of continuous victory, continuous honors, and continuous strength, The domineering force developed after crushing the opponent.

In the past, the most domineering team in England was Manchester United, but I don’t know since when, Manchester United has become a subordinate of the Red Rebels. One person is inferior to ten thousand people. They are helpless when encountering the Red Rebels, and they are domineering when encountering others.

"But as I have been telling you, we have to play one game at a time. Our goal will always be only one, victory, and the championship. Before we win and win the championship, we have to fight hard in every game, regardless of whether we Who is your opponent?”

After saying that, Mourinho turned around and took a stack of paper from where he was sitting. It was obviously a piece of paper. He shook it in his hand and the paper made a scratching sound.

"Do you know what this is?" Mourinho asked.

Seeing that the players were all shaking their heads and not guessing, he smiled.

"This is Barcelona's tactical report and technical analysis of the players. All the tactics they have used in the past five years. All the players who have performed well in the first team and youth team this season are in this report. I can even say that in In this report, Barcelona may be able to discover something that even they themselves have not discovered."

The people who know themselves best are often their worst enemies

"The scouting department will send such a thick report before every game. I complained, and they said they could apply for an Ipad for me, but it would take some time to customize it, so I had to endure it."

After hearing this, the players all laughed immediately.

Although the Ipad has not yet been officially launched, the Red Rebels have relied on their partnership with Apple to obtain a specially customized Red Rebels-specific version in advance. This version is specially designed for the Red Rebels’ coaching staff, laboratories and Customized by the Scouting Department, you can directly enter the Red Rebels server and input or extract some required information.

This is a very important step for the Red Rebels to realize the informatization of club management.

"The reason why I say this is not to say how dedicated our scouting department is, nor to say how difficult our opponents are, but to tell you, guys, I treat every game My attitude is unprecedentedly serious, and I will make every effort to ensure victory in every game.”

"I've always been happy to work with so many great players. I won't say these things to people outside because that's not my style, but what I want to say is that I won't allow my players to The goal and I have differences, we are in the same boat, and we should have a common direction and goal."

The locker room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop on the ground. The players were even breathing carefully for fear of destroying the silence, but the atmosphere was very tense because Mourinho's eyes were very scary.

"Every one of you is very clear about Barcelona's weaknesses. You know better than anyone how to play against Barcelona. We have specially prepared tactics in this area before the game. I don't think there is a reason why we can't win this game." A game, in front of our fans." Mourinho pointed to the top of his head.

When the players from both sides entered the stadium, the packed Red Rebel Stadium was completely boiling.

The lineups of both sides were not too surprising. After all, both teams had just finished a league game on Saturday, and neither had time to conduct targeted training and adjustments, so the two sides did not make much adjustments on the rosters.

Barcelona's goalkeeper is Valdes, the back line from left to right is Abidal, Piqué, Zygrinski and Puyol; the three games are Keita, Xavi and Busquets; the front three is Pegasus. DeRo, Villa and Iniesta.

Hleb, the former Red Rebel player who was introduced with a lot of money, has gradually lost his main position in Barcelona with the rise of Pedro and others. This game did not even follow the team to Manchester. There are rumors from the outside world. , Barcelona seems to want to buy him, and almost all teams currently interested in Hleb are from England.

The goalkeeper of the Red Rebels is Cech, the four defenders are Evra, Terry, Curtis and Alves, the double midfielders are Michael Johnson and Essien, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Messi and Aguero form a magical quartet.

After the players from both sides stood firm in their respective half-courts, roars of cheers surged from the stands at Red Rebel Stadium, like a dam opening a floodgate, almost making it difficult for the players on the pitch to stand still.

Curtis was lucky enough to help the Red Rebels get the right to kick off the coin while guessing coins. This immediately made the Red Rebels fans even more excited. Many fans even started shouting, "Kill them, kill them." Barcelona”

"The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the Red Rebels took the lead. Aguero knocked the ball back to Kaká, and the Brazilian knocked it back to Michael Johnson behind him..."

The Englishman held his head up, controlled the ball skillfully with both feet, and looked for opportunities back and forth on the court.

The focus of Barcelona's defense lies on Michael Johnson and Essien, so Villa, Pedro and others immediately stepped in.

Seeing Villa approaching, Michael Johnson chose to pass the ball across the left to Evra, but Iniesta pestered Evra, and the French immediately hit back. Michael Johnson chose to pass the ball across to Essien to avoid it. Open Villa.

But just when Essien got the ball, Pedro came up from behind him, kicked him directly, and then raised his hands high to show that he was innocent.

"I cTmd" As soon as Curtis saw this situation, he immediately rushed forward and violently knocked away Pedro who was bending down to help Essien. "Don't be so pretentious over there, get out of here." Come on, shameless guy"

Pedro was knocked out by Curtis and fell to the grass. However, he rolled a few times and looked seriously injured, as if Curtis' collision would kill him. Similar.

"Idiot, you did this from the beginning." Mourinho slapped his forehead hard, "Jim, didn't you tell that hot-headed guy to be careful and not to be fooled?"

Cassell shook his head and smiled bitterly, "He stood up for his teammates, and besides, he was measured."

Puyol rushed up from behind, looked at Pedro, and rushed directly in front of Curtis. The captains of the two teams kowtowed to each other and glared angrily.

The referee directly separated the two people and then ran to Essien.

"Mr. Referee, look at the shoe prints on his legs. The game has just started. It should be clear what is going on." Kaka also helped analyze.

The referee smiled at Kaká, then walked over, stretched out his hand and waved at Pedro. The latter remained unmoved and continued to perform his Oscar-winning actor-level acting skills on the ground, but the referee did not. So much free time, "If you don't come here, I'll give you the card directly"

Upon hearing this, Pedro immediately jumped up from the ground and came to the referee.

"I don't want to see the same thing happen again in this game. I hope this will be a fair, just and smooth game. I am giving you a warning, but only once. I will not do anything next time." If you hesitate, you will be given a yellow card or even a red card, do you understand?"

Pedro knew that his trick had been seen through, and he nodded helplessly, but as soon as he turned around, he made an innocent and wronged expression towards the TV camera. His acting skills were comparable to those of Leonardo... Dicaprio.

The referee also warned Puyol and Curtis respectively, indicating that the captains of the two teams should stay calm, and then said what he just said to Pedro again to Puyol. .

Curtis saw that his teammates were not injured, so he did not continue to pursue the case, but he reminded the referee that he should pay close attention to the movements of Barcelona players and their acting skills.

The referee could only smile helplessly at this kind reminder.

Less than a minute after the game started, the game has completely entered a fever pitch. However, because of this foul, the Red Rebels got an indirect free kick opportunity that was about 0 meters away from the Barcelona goal. This was very important to the Red Rebels. It's also a good opportunity.

Michael Johnson stood at the penalty spot without hesitation, and the Red Rebel players poured into Barcelona's penalty area, with everyone staring at Michael Johnson.

The fans in the stands were shouting without emotion, "Fuck them, kill Barcelona"
