Red Rebels

8o Capture the Nou Camp

When a brand-new Boeing passenger plane slowly landed at London's Heathrow Airport, the group of thousands of fans wearing England national team jerseys gathered outside the airport terminal. Entering the waiting hall, there were also people surrounding the waiting hall, preparing to block the national team in the VIP aisle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that today's airport has at least doubled the number of security personnel and ground staff. The reason is very simple. Countless fans will come to this airport today to welcome back the warriors who have returned from overseas battles in triumph.

It feels like the citizens of ancient London welcomed the triumphant return of the aristocratic legions who went out to fight against bandits. However, in the era of advocating peace, football replaced war. However, in the minds of English fans, the weight of football may not be lost. Give war.

In addition to the fanatical England fans at the scene, Prince Charles, as a representative of the British royal family, personally came to the airport to pick him up.

This is absolutely unprecedented treatment for the England national team. There are even rumors that the Queen of England will personally summon all members of the national team because of this epic reversal and encourage them to take over again during the World Cup. Keep up the good work and hope to be able to play the characteristics and excitement of English football.

Although it was a chartered flight for the England national team, Xiao Yu and others received special treatment. They could follow the team back to London and then back to Manchester.

Knowing that today's protagonists are Beckham and the national team, Xiao Yu, along with Walsh and others, deliberately stayed behind in the cabin and watched Beckham and others meet with Prince Charles and his entourage.

Prince Charles praised the outstanding performance of Beckham and the national team players in front of countless media, believing that they had defended the dignity of English football with practical actions. At the same time, he also told the world that English football is still the most powerful in the world. one of the teams.

"The Queen does not summon people easily," said Walsh with emotion.

The Red Rebels have also been summoned by the Queen of England. Xiao Yu, Walsh and Mourinho have all been awarded medals. Xiao Yu has the highest status because he is not only the chairman of the Red Rebels, but also England's most respected leader. One of the wealthy entrepreneurs.

Xiao Yu smiled. He knew very well that the royal family made such a move simply out of political needs. Those politicians may be loyal fans in normal times, but once it is for political purposes, they can do it at any time. He can switch sides at any time, and even betray his football emotions in order to achieve a certain goal.

Of course, this move of the royal family did not betray anything, it was just a little use.

“I heard that the Prime Minister personally held close negotiations with the royal family.

The Parliament also passed a series of resolutions immediately. They obviously wanted to make the England national team perform miracles and turn the impossible into possible deeds. They wanted to make a big deal about it. It was best to publicize it so that the whole of England and the whole of the United Kingdom would know about it. smell. "

"They need to establish a spiritual pillar," Mark David put it clearly.

With the advent of the financial crisis, the UK's economic environment has become increasingly difficult. In addition, the UK is no longer a hegemonic country and its economic level is not strong. Under the financial crisis, the UK's situation has become even worse.

In this situation of national economic downturn and low public sentiment, the England national team coached by Beckham has created amazing magic, which undoubtedly gave the royal family and parliament the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of it.

Everyone knows the importance of football in the hearts of British people. Success in football can be transformed into excitement in the hearts of all British people, stimulating their potential and dormant fighting spirit, and then stimulating the overall environment of the UK.

"If we tell it, maybe many rational fans will find it incredible. To put it bluntly, football is just a toy, and football is just a medium for fans to vent and express their feelings. But there is no doubt that people who would think so are not Understand the English football environment.”

Xiao Yu watched Prince Charles, Beckham and others talking outside the plane, allowing reporters to take photos and interviews, turning the airport tarmac into their show. This was indeed a bit out of touch with the original flavor of football, but for For English football, this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

"According to surveys, the periods when English football has risen and performed strongest are often when the British economy is at its lowest," Mark David said with a smile.

"Currently, the Football Association has begun to contact rock singers. Many famous bands have submitted their works in the hope of being selected as the anthem of the England national team for the 2000 World Cup in South Africa. I believe that the next step will be very soon. This matter will be talked about by English fans for a long time." As the vice-chairman of the Football Association, Walsh was also directly involved in the selection.

The anthem of the England national team and the song sung at the start of the England national team game are two different songs. The team anthem is more sung to support the team when fans celebrate and cheer, while the song sung by the England national team at the start of the game is different. The song that was sung was called

, is the British national anthem.

England's team anthem has a long history. In fact, the earliest concept of the team anthem came from England. In every major competition, England will carefully create its own cheering songs, like

,

and other classic songs have been sung by the majority of fans.

The England team anthem for the 2006 World Cup in Germany is

, but England fans didn’t like this song, so many fans went to the scene and sang nothing like it.

, but the previous ones such as

Songs like this have actually become one of the reasons why many media commented on England's defeat at the World Cup in Germany.

Now, whether it is out of superstition or to please the fans, the Football Association is determined to select a song that satisfies the fans, and then let them sing it at the World Cup in South Africa. The whole world can see the fanaticism of England fans.

"I heard that Kenan is also running for election," Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

Kernan is the Red Rebel anthem

Singers, they are now the most famous band in the UK and even Europe. They not only compose their own music and lyrics, but also release many hot-selling records. However, despite this, Kenan's feelings for the Red Rebels are still as always.

"I will never forget that it was the Red Rebels who made me who I am today."

When being interviewed by the media, Kenan never forgets to express his gratitude to the Red Rebels because Xiao Yu sang the team song to them, which made them an instant hit and became the core of the European music scene today. strength.

"Yes, Kenan wrote lyrics and music by himself this time, and wrote a

, submitted to the FA and participated in the selection of the England team anthem. Not only that, they also wrote a

, participated in the selection of the theme song for the World Cup in South Africa. I have listened to both songs, and they are both excellent. "

Kernan is a rock singer, and they are all ardent fans. Naturally, they can incorporate more football emotions and elements into the lyrics and songs, which makes Kernan's songs always full of exciting things.

The relationship between the Red Rebels and Kernan is very close. They will come to the Red Rebel Beer Festival every season and perform a one-night charity performance. At the same time, if they hold a concert in Manchester, there will only be one venue. Red Rebel Stadium.

This band, which became famous by singing the songs of the Red Rebels, always uses this method to express its gratitude to the Red Rebels for their kindness.

"Since it's good, then help them," Xiao Yu said with a casual smile.

This kind of thing is really nothing to him, but from his standpoint, Kenan has a close relationship with the Red Rebels and has a good relationship with him, so it is natural to support Kenan.

But Walsh nodded seriously, he could still speak on this matter.

Seeing Prince Charles, Beckham and others leaving the tarmac, Xiao Yu and his group also walked out of the cabin.

The accompanying staff had already prepared tickets for them to return to Manchester, so they took a flight and returned to Manchester not long after, but Beckham and others stayed in London to accept the Queen's summons, accompanied by members of the national team. , they have to play for a day before they can return to the team gathering.

…………

After regrouping the team, the Red Rebels couldn't help but once again accept the reality of players running back and forth.

The national team match ended on the 5th, but during the training camp on the 6th, only half of the team's roster was present. Players who returned to South America to participate in the game had to delay their return to Manchester until the 7th, while Michael Johnson and others People have to accept the Queen's summons again, one day late.

This greatly affected the Red Rebels' preparations for the match on the 6th, but the real headache was the away game against Blackburn Rovers in the 9th round.

The away trip is not far, about 5 kilometers away, and the team bus is only 0 minutes away. However, Mourinho was tortured for the formation of this game because he had to Accept the situation without Messi, Aguero, Kaká and many other key players.

After careful consideration, Mourinho could only put together what he considered to be the strongest lineup.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Davide Thornton, Vidic, Curtis and Rafael; the double midfielder is Aaron Ramsey and De Rossi, and the attacking midfielder Ozil, double The wingers are Ronaldinho and Theo Walcott, and the lone forward is Drogba.

Blackburn Rovers, who are sitting at home, are incredibly tenacious, even when facing the powerful Red Rebels. However, they arranged three defensive players on the field and used aggressive tactics from the beginning, which made the Red Rebels a little bit frustrated. Unable to resist.

Throughout the first half, both sides were fighting on the spot. Although Aaron Ramsey was talented, he was far inferior to Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson in terms of controlling the rhythm and organizing the offense. But this happened. Both players were unable to participate in the game, and Mourinho could only choose to trust the teenager.

Blackburn's defense was specifically aimed at Aaron Ramsey. Fortunately, De Rossi performed steadily in this game and his excellent running ability helped Aaron Ramsey protect the back line. This allowed the Red Rebels to The field barely withstood the impact of Blackburn.

The loss on the field made the Red Rebels' offense a bit chaotic. In addition, players such as Ronaldinho and Theo Walcott all participated in the national team games. After running back and forth, their physical fitness was somewhat unable to catch up, and they were unable to perform well. , making the Red Rebels' performance throughout the game very poor.

Seeing this situation, Mourinho really had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Sometimes the head coach is helpless. He can only arrange the strongest lineup based on the existing chips.

After Blackburn's defense in the first half, they played more resolutely in the second half. They obviously believed that using this kind of defense could completely freeze the Red Rebels' offense.

But they ignored one thing, that is, the Red Rebels' offense was not limited to mobile warfare.

In the 6th minute of the second half, Drogba took the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area, but was knocked down from behind by Blackburn defender Samba. The referee showed Samba a yellow card without any doubt and gave the Red Rebels a yellow card. An opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt in a good position.

Ronaldinho walked out without hesitation, holding the ball tightly in his arms. He used his jersey to wipe the grass clippings and slippery water stains on the ball, and then gently placed it on the penalty spot. Slowly take a few steps back.

"This time the free kick was taken by Cristiano Ronaldo. In the absence of the team's free kick taker Michael Johnson, Ronaldinho took on the task of taking free kicks and corner kicks for the Red Rebels. .”

"This is also Ronaldinho's first set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt in this game. He had an indirect free kick opportunity in the first half, but his free kick was lifted by Vidic and went over the crossbar. Now this The position is very suitable, he can hit the goal directly without asking for help from his teammates.”

Ronaldinho stood upright in front of the ball. The wall put up by Blackburn was too close to the penalty spot. The referee signaled them to move back. When everything was almost ready, the referee blew the whistle.

I saw Ronaldinho suddenly jump out, and his right foot hit the ball directly. A fierce banging sound was heard at the scene, and then the ball drew a fast and beautiful arc, spinning around with great force. He passed the wall and went directly into the goal guarded by Robinson, hitting the near post dead center.

"It's so beautiful. It was a direct free kick, a beautiful goal. Cristiano Ronaldo, in the 6th minute of the second half, used a direct free kick to break the deadlock for the Red Rebels."

"Robinson was powerless against Ronaldinho's shot. Although Blackburn had high hopes for bringing him in, his performance was obviously unsatisfactory. At least he didn't show any screams in several games this season. The ability to convince people.”

The age of 0, for a goalkeeper, should have been a prosperous age and should have entered the golden peak of his career. However, for Paul Robinson, this was a tragic year.

Since Beckham took charge of the England national team, he has lost his position as the number one goalkeeper of the national team, and now he cannot even enter the national team, because he is the butter player in the hearts of England fans. If he were not in this position Weak, I believe he could not be reused as early as Capello's period.

When he switched to Blackburn, he originally hoped to change his environment and get a new life, but now it seems that he is still the same.

Unstable, very good when he performs well, but often makes some low-level mistakes, this is Robinson

…………

…………

With Ronaldinho's ground-breaking free kick in the second half, the Red Rebels defeated Blackburn Rovers away from home.

But this is just the beginning of a difficult schedule for the Red Rebels.

Just passed the third round of the game.

In this game, the Red Rebels welcomed Dynamo Kyiv at home.

The injured Shevchenko still failed to play. The Red Rebels relied on two goals from Michael Johnson and Aguero to defeat Dynamo Kiev at home and won three consecutive group matches. win.

In another game played at the same time as the Red Rebels, Barcelona played against the Kazan Ruby team at home.

Only a minute after the opening, Kazan Rubin took advantage of Barcelona's unsteady footing and caught Barcelona off guard. Dominguez opened the scoring, o:

Afterwards, the two sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle at the Camp Nou Stadium. Rubin Kazan fought fiercely against Barcelona's technical football. The two sides played a fierce but not exciting game throughout the first half.

However, Barcelona players are obviously troubled by their recent winless streak. The whole team is under tremendous pressure. In addition, internal strife has led to players such as Abidal and Keita to be internally suspended. The team is completely dependent on Xavi and Puyo. The direct line of Barcelona is responsible for this, which makes these players almost unable to resist. Even the good guy Iniesta almost got two yellow cards.

Fortunately, when the players were about to lose control, Villa took advantage of an opportunity to dribble forward at the beginning of the second half and equalized the score for Barcelona:

But the good times did not last long. In the 7th minute, Kazan Ruby launched a wave of offensive. Barcelona's field was unbalanced. Busquets failed to protect the penalty area and defense line, allowing Kazan Ruby's Turkish player Karadenis to get the ball at the front of the penalty area and directly Facing the goal, he took a long shot and broke through Valdez's goal again.

This undoubtedly completely shattered the morale and fighting spirit that the Barcelona players had finally gathered, especially when the game had just begun to pick up.

Although Guardiola gave it a try and replaced many offensive players including Bojan, he was unable to break through the Kazan Ruby goal in the end and could only be defeated by the Kazan Ruby at home.

It was this upset that put Barcelona at the bottom of the group points. This undoubtedly made Barcelona fans angry. They even angrily attacked the visiting team's team bus after the game. Kazan Ruby claimed that they would sue Barcelona fans. .

But how can the angry Barcelona fans care about this? Their proud Camp Nou stadium was defeated by the little-known Kazan Ruby. This is undoubtedly a loss for the proud Barcelona fans who are still obsessed with self-power. is unacceptable.

But for them, the tragedy has just begun
