Red Rebels

8o The man defeated by Drogba

October 4, Manchester, Red Rebel Stadium

When Mourinho burst out of the coaching bench like a lightning arrow and rushed directly into the Red Rebel Stadium, it happened to be the moment when the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

He ran almost excitedly past every player, and then celebrated with the players with his hands on the left or right, but his speed did not slow down at all. He almost ran all over the entire Red Rebels. He ran to all the stands around the stadium, and then panted back to the front of the home team's coaching bench and hugged Cassell heavily.

Turning around, he saw Pellegrini not far away, and he immediately walked over laughing.

"I'm so happy, Manuel" Mourinho said triumphantly and wanted to hug Pellegrini.

Unexpectedly, Pellegrini made a clever move, wearing a straight suit, but the flexibility of his movements was not inferior to Ashley Young on the court at all, and then he left Murry in a strange way. Neo glanced at him and said unconvinced: "That's because you are lucky."

Mourinho shrugged and smiled noncommittally.

He was indeed lucky. The Red Rebels scored in the first 4 minutes. Aguero's clever shot into the penalty area in the 4th minute broke the deadlock and opened the door to victory for the Red Rebels. .

At this time, Pellegrini has two options. First, be conservative and hold on, and then slowly look for opportunities to counterattack.

It should be said that this choice is relatively safe. Droisden is one of the few teams in the UK that can compete with the Red Rebels. Pellegrini's team is full of unrestrained Latin colors and is as good as the Red Rebels. The military fight is undoubtedly very dazzling.

But their defense is not ambiguous at all. Jagielka, Michael Dawson, Leighton Barnes and Otamendi are all European-level defensive players, especially Otamendi. After playing right back, his performance improved by leaps and bounds, becoming Argentina's main right back and being called the new Zanetti.

If it is defended firmly, Droisden can contain the Red Rebels' attack, but it will put itself in a passive situation.

The second option is to continue to stick to your football philosophy and fight aggressively.

This is also Pellegrini's choice, but unfortunately, it turns out that Droysden is undoubtedly strong, but it is not strong enough to be able to fight against the Red Rebels without conceding a goal.

So at the minute,

When Messi scored another victory and helped the Red Rebels rewrite the score to: o, Pellegrini already knew that this game could not be saved, and his team would once again hate the Red Rebel Stadium.

After that, Pellegrini had to choose to compromise. He resignedly chose to defend, and then held on in the 5th minute of the first half. Messi scored twice, rewriting the score to: o, Pellegrini He really has the desire to kill.

If we trace it back, we can find that it was the goal conceded in the opening that put Droisden in a completely passive position. Aguero used his personal ability to convert an opportunity that was not an opportunity into a goal, and turned the game into a goal. The initiative is in the hands of his own team.

Pellegrini is still unconvinced. He has never been convinced because he always thinks that Mourinho can defeat him. That is because Mourinho is in the Red Rebels and he is in Droisden. , if the roles of the two people are reversed, he can also defeat Mourinho.

No, not just to defeat, but to make him convinced and speechless after losing. He will lead the Red Rebels to achieve higher and greater achievements.

So Pellegrini is as unconvinced as ever with Mourinho.

"I can't tell, Mr. Jose Mourinho, your running ability is pretty good." Pellegrini felt annoyed when he saw Mourinho running so fast that he almost couldn't breathe. said sarcastically.

Mourinho smiled and said, "It's okay, after all, I'm still young."

The original sarcastic smile disappeared. Pellegrini was obviously thinking of his own age. There was exactly 0 years difference between the two.

"For a manager, youth is not necessarily a good thing," Pellegrini muttered.

"For me, being able to defeat my opponents and being more energetic than my opponents is definitely a good thing. By the way, Manuel, do you still go to bed so early recently?" Mourinho deliberately admired him. Legrini spoke like an old man.

In fact, he is only 56 years old, so he is not too old.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Pellegrini asked unhappily.

Mourinho chuckled and said: "Then we will celebrate the team's tenth consecutive victory tonight, but it will be a little later. If you haven't slept by then, you are welcome to come."

Pellegrini suddenly lost his face, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Cassel and Juninho, who were following Mourinho, looked helpless. They knew the relationship between Mourinho and Pellegrini. They were both enemies and friends. , there will definitely be bickering scenes when they meet, and Pellegrini's sharp words have never been Mourinho's opponent.

"Jose, are we celebrating tonight? Where?" Juninho asked with concern.

As a Brazilian, although he has self-discipline and work ethics, Juninho is full of expectations and curiosity about the occasional nightlife, especially getting together with a group of his friends and colleagues.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho's face changed faster than anything else. The expression he had when facing Pellegrini just now seemed to have been ripped away by him, with a cold face, "Celebrate? What to celebrate?”

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to celebrate ten consecutive victories?" Juninho reminded in a low voice.

Cassel looked on and laughed. He didn't say anything to criticize it. He just felt that Juninho was fooled by Mourinho.

"Ten consecutive wins?" Mourinho's tone was very unfriendly. "Does this also need to be celebrated? Is this the only goal and your vision? Or do you have enough ways to ensure our victory?" The team beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in Queens?”

After saying that, Mourinho spread his hands and said, "If you really have the means, Ribeiro, well, I will allow this celebration party to be held. Otherwise, I will start preparing for the upcoming League Cup. You What do you think?"

Junior Juninho stared at Mourinho's leaving back in stunned silence. He could not see Mourinho's mischievous smile as he walked towards the tunnel, nor did he notice Cassel's funny expression behind him. I'm just wondering, how can a person's emotions fluctuate so much in a short period of time?

Is this still a person?

The trip to the Emirates Stadium is destined to have no shortage of topics

The Red Rebels and Arsenal are both one of the best football clubs in the world for their youth training. They both have a very important training feature, which is to give young people as many playing opportunities as possible in the League Cup and FA Cup. .

In this game, Wenger sent out famous young players from the youth academy, including Spanish players Merida, left back Gibbs, French player Nasri and other rookies and young main players of the first team. After all, their opponents were the Red Rebels.

In turn, Mourinho's lineup is almost entirely composed of young players. The goalkeeper is Friedel, and the defense from left to right is Fabio, Rodwell, Micah Richards and Davide San. Dayton, the double defensive midfielder is Aaron Ramsey and Mikel, the attacking midfielder is Wilshere, the two wingers are Walcott and Ozil, and the lone forward is Drogba.

Neither team had any reason to win this game, but neither team thought about giving up this game, even if it was just the top six knockout rounds of the League Cup.

For young players, advancing to the next round is equivalent to gaining more opportunities for themselves to play games and gain more opportunities to train with strong teams. After all, the League Cup and FA Cup have now been reformed. It has attracted more and more attention from strong teams, which makes the two cup competitions very high in terms of commercial value and competitive value.

As soon as the game started, Arsenal, sitting at home, fell into a passive position.

Even though the young players of the Red Rebels are playing away games, many players from the Arsenal team often meet in the youth team and reserve team, and the Red Rebels without exception have the advantage in performance and appearance, which makes The young players of the Red Rebels have certain psychological advantages.

I have a psychological advantage, so I am naturally more relaxed in the competition scene.

The Swiss Senderos was once a very promising defender by Wenger. He was even once molded by Wenger into the core of Arsenal's defense and performed quite well. However, Senderos's psychological quality was a bit poor. This makes it always difficult for him to get out of the shadows after making mistakes in the game.

There was once a game between Arsenal and Liverpool. Senderos made two mistakes and conceded the ball. As a result, he deeply blamed himself and actively asked not to play in the next game. This made Wenger clearly see that his psychology was extremely complicated. It is fragile and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the team in England, fighting gods and killing gods, and meeting Buddhas and killing Buddhas.

After that, Senderos received a cold reception from Wenger, especially this season, he can almost only get playing opportunities in training grounds such as the League Cup.

However, Mourinho seemed to know in advance that Senderos was going to play, and somehow arranged for the striker he was most afraid of and also had the most headaches with, Didier Drogba.

In an interview, Senderos once revealed that he had no confidence after being hit by Drogba. He couldn't imagine how he should defend someone who he couldn't pull even with all his strength and couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard he tried. A beast-level player, he has a deep, deep shadow on Drogba.

Therefore, when two players of the same height looked at each other on the court, Drogba grinned with white teeth and Senderos looked serious as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. This formed an extremely Interesting contrast.

The game seemed to be going according to the two players' ideas. The Red Rebels played very openly and easily, while Arsenal, sitting at home, looked extremely heavy.

Anyone who knows football knows that the side that controls the game will naturally have an easier time.

Aaron Ramsey is far behind the Red Rebels' two main core players in terms of experience and awareness, but Mikel is his very good assistant. Mikel is a player with excellent lateral interception ability. He is not fast, but has good awareness. He is a kind of deep-lying midfielder, and he has exquisite foot skills and passing awareness.

With Mikel assisting Aaron Ramsey, this pair of forwards cooperated very well in the game, controlled the situation and the rhythm of the game, and the field composed of Merida and Nasri was completely controlled. Nose goes.

In the 6th minute, Neymar broke through from the left and cut inside, sending a low ball at the edge of the penalty area. Drogba took the ball and directly hit Senderos. The Swiss could not stop Drogba and could only watch helplessly. Watching him volley with great force and break the goal guarded by Fabianski, o:

The second half changed sides and the Red Rebels still showed no signs of relaxing.

In the 56th minute, Ozil passed into the penalty area after continuous breakthroughs from the right. Under Drogba's close pressing, Senderos took his position in advance and wanted to use his right foot to clear the ball, but unexpectedly he made a mistake in judgment. Kicking the ball into the air, Nymar, who was ambushing at the back point, naturally would not let go of such an opportunity and volleyed hard into the empty goal. o:

After two consecutive mistakes, Senderos really had no way to deal with his bitter opponent Drogba.

Wenger was watching from the sidelines and sighed inwardly. He even thought that maybe Senderos really shouldn't play football. After all, his mental quality really did not meet the requirements of playing football.

For this game, Wenger had to admit that Arsenal lost

At the press conference after the game, Wenger named and praised Drogba, the best player on the spot. He believed that Drogba was a phenomenal player and showed the dominance of a top striker in this game.

As for Senderos, who had a poor performance in the game, Wenger did not comment, but from his tone revealed that Arsenal is looking to loan Senderos out. It is obvious that the Swiss' Gunners career has reached the end, or even the end. .

Returning to Manchester from London, the Red Rebels did not have much time to rest and immediately ushered in the first round of the English League on Saturday, a home game against Hull City.

Since there is another Champions League game this week that is related to the Red Rebels' ability to qualify first in the group, and it is difficult for Hull City to threaten the Red Rebels' advantage at home, Mourinho's formation choice for this game Several substitute appearances were made.

Even so, with Messi's hat trick in the first half and Curtis' goal in the second half, the Red Rebels easily beat Hull City 4:0 at home and continued to maintain their advantage in the standings. Huercheng continues to occupy the position of deputy squad leader.

Queen of Days, the Red Rebels visit Kiev to challenge Dynamo Kyiv.

Both Xiao Yu and Mourinho will be familiar with this city, because not long ago, they accompanied Beckham to defeat Ukraine in an away game.

The Red Rebels were lucky. When they arrived in Kiev, the weather forecast said it might be the first snow of the year, but it turned out to be good weather. This made everyone in the Red Rebels feel relieved. After all, they were fighting in heavy snow. , the requirements for players are very high, and the Red Rebels have just experienced multi-front battles, and the physical functions of the players are generally not very ideal.

There was no snow and the weather was good. Naturally, the Red Rebels' away game performance wasn't too bad.

Although the game almost fell into the trap of Dynamo Kiev, Shevchenko, who had returned from injury, relied on his keen sense of smell to find a sudden opportunity, but Cech made a divine save and once again helped the Red Rebels. The military resolved the crisis.

In the second half, Mourinho made appropriate adjustments. Ismail and Kaká scored successively to help the Red Rebels defeat Dynamo Kiev away from home.

After playing this game, the qualifying situation of the Red Rebels' group has become clear. The Red Rebels ranked first and qualified from this group as the first in the group in advance.

But the battle for second place in the group was somewhat unexpected.

Barcelona was away to challenge the Kazan Ruby. They were not as lucky as the Red Rebels. They encountered windy and snowy weather. In the icy and snowy Russia, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Kazan Ruby, although Barcelona controlled the situation on the field. , but the Ruby team used their tenacity and the advantages of home court and weather to draw with Barcelona at home o:o.

As a result, Rubin Kazan is second, Dynamo Kyiv is third, and Barcelona, ​​the original favorite to qualify, has 4 draws and negative points, ranking last in the group.

When the game situation came out, everyone immediately began to exclaim that Barcelona was likely to be eliminated from the Champions League group stage. If this was true, it would undoubtedly make Barcelona's current grim situation worse.

Internal strife, a complete defeat to the Red Rebels, and the need to accept a UEFA match-fixing investigation have all put tremendous pressure on Barcelona. If they are eliminated from the Champions League now, Barcelona will probably never recover.

According to the style of the Barcelona board of directors, the head coach must bear responsibility for the current unfavorable situation. Guardiola is already on the verge of dismissal. However, several head coaches contacted by Barcelona are almost without exception indifferent to Barcelona. Including their three invitations to the palace proposed by Van Gaal.

It can be said that Barcelona is currently at a critical moment of life and death. La Liga is being bullied by Real Madrid, and the Champions League is also in a bad situation. In the next round, they will face the Red Rebels at home. If they cannot win against their opponents, Rubin Kazan and Dinar Kiev If there is a winner between Morocco and Morocco, then the possibility of Barcelona qualifying from the group will be slim.

So not long after the game ended, Guardiola shouted at the post-match press conference that he would win the Red Rebels at home and vow to qualify from the group.

But for Barcelona, ​​which had great ambitions before the season, such slogans are undoubtedly full of ridicule. After all, they are a team that aims to win the championship. But now, they are struggling for a qualifying spot in the group.
