Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

The expansion of the Red Stadium was completed last week and officially reopened after inspection by the stadium management, and the expanded Red Course will have a capacity of 32,000 people, which is 3,000 more seats than Lu Wei expected, but tickets for the first game of the season are still sold out, and 10,000 season tickets were booked a month ago

The reason why the attendance of the red stadium is high is all because the price of FC United tickets is the lowest among all Premier League Championship teams, each ticket is only 10 pounds, the price of season tickets is only 100 pounds, even the beer and sausages in the stadium are the lowest prices in the English market, and FC United does not even earn more on tickets every season.

This does not include the tickets that will be given to FC United members every year, after the tenth anniversary celebration, Walsh announced that club members FC United will be given home tickets every year, one for members a year, five for members for five years, ten for members for ten years, and the tickets will be mailed to the fans' homes after the number of matches booked in advance with the club.

On August 9, 2015, more than 20,000 fans came to the Red Court to cheer for the Red Rebels, and the visiting team Middlesbrough fans also came, 9,000 people are not as good as the Red Rebels, but the momentum in the North Stand is no less impressive, and the first round of the Championship has a attendance of more than 95%, which is also rare.

Myburgh welcomed back their former hero, former England international Stewart, this summer. Downing, a wanderer who had been away from Myburgh for six years, returned to his hometown, and Lu Wei also wanted to take Tangning to the Red Stadium, but was rejected by Tangning, who wanted to go home.

Tangning, who returns to Myburgh, will definitely be regarded as the core of the team by coach Karanka, but in Lu Wei's opinion, Tangning is not a concern, whether he is on the wing or in the middle, there will be someone to take care of him, Tangning is 31 years old, he has long been not the youth who ran out of the afterimage on the wing, and his ball control skills are very average, and he can not make too many waves on the wing of FC United.

In Lu Wei's memory, in 17 years, you can still see Downing playing in the Premier League, playing for Myburgh, which means that Middlesbrough will complete the promotion this season, but I don't know how many they are in the Championship, but it can also show that their strength is at the top in the Championship, and the list in Lu Wei's hands can show how strong their strength is.

The goalkeeper is former Greek substitute goalkeeper Constantopoulos, and the right back is Czech teenager Kallas, who was once a demon in football, although he failed to play at a high level, but he is also a first-class defender in the Championship, and left-back Friend is also an old fritters who have been in the Championship for many years. Central defender Deere. Frye is a product of Middlesbrough's youth academy and is entering the first team this season, but will the player who can be valued by Mourinho's assistant Karanka be an ordinary young man, and the other central defender is Ayala Spaniard from Liverpool's youth academy, and the four big defenders who are about 1.9 meters tall are full of pressure.

Back-up Lidbitt has been selected for the England youth team, midfielder Clayton is also a Manchesterman, but Manchester City youth academy, and the most surprising thing for Lu Wei is that Downing appeared in the front position, I don't know what Karanka is planning, the two wings are Ghanaian descendants Adoma and Reicher, both have fast speed and good cross ability, the single arrow is Kirk, who transferred from Murcia, Spain, this summer. Garcia, who is 1.86 metres tall and has excellent heading ability, scored 23 goals in La B last season, was recruited by Carranca to England this summer to destroy Middlesbrough.

Such a frontcourt combination can even be seen by a layman Barbara, a layman, that is, a long pass rush, so Lu Wei is also fully prepared, the starting lineup sent in this game is goalkeeper Jaskolenen, dedicated to Myburgh's two crosses, four defenders Tafnir, Egan, Tyrone and Robertson, three midfielders Baird, Holihaan and Klukas, the three forwards are Michu, Bowen and Makeda, and Edward, White, Zinchenko, McGim, Madison, Hogan and Gnabry are on the bench.

Gnabry still complained about not being able to start, but Lu Wei only used two sentences to make the kid honest, "You tell me how long ago you last started in an official game, I know it's not as good as Arsenal, but you can't be arrogant, some parts of the Championship are more brutal than the Premier League, I hope you can be ready, and when you are ready, you can become our killer app." Although

it is a three-striker, the overall formation of FC United is more like a Christmas tree formation, Makeda bursts forward, Michu and Bowen are behind, it is clear that Lu Wei is copying Ancelotti's arrangement at AC Milan, Michu, Bowen, Hollihaan and Klucas, the four "No. 10" players, plus Baird who is full-time defense, this is the low-end version of Rivaldo, Rui Costa, Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso.

Tyrone and Egan are both good players at the back, and although they are a little weaker, they will not let the opponent easily take the dominance of the sky, coupled with the experienced Baird and Jaskolenen, Lu Wei does not think that Middlesbrough can break the goal of the red court so easily.

This match was arranged by the FA to kick off at 12 noon, the harsh sunlight shone Lu Wei could not open his eyes, the red court was built in a north-south direction, and the sunlight at this time just shone on the north side of the stadium, Lu Wei immediately sent someone to instruct Tyrone to choose the north side of the backlight after winning the right to pick the side.

However, the referee's coin did not go his way, and Middlesbrough captain Lidbitt won the right to pick the side and decisively chose their first half on the north side, kicking off by FC United. Sure enough, Karanka also noticed the sunshine and is worthy of being Jose Mourinho's right-hand man, but so what, my players will not fail because of this factor.

After referee Kavanagh blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Makaida and Bowen passed the ball to Michu and ran forward, Michu handed the ball to Holihaan, Holihaan waited for Kirk to rush up and pressed and passed back to Igan, Egan kept the ball and passed the ball directly to the right, Tavernir received the ball and Holihaan made a wall cooperation and ran forward, bullying Flender with speed and then a cross, but Makeda did not compete for a header, Between two defenders who are 1.9 meters tall, it is really difficult to compete for the top of the aerial ball.

Lu Wei asked the players to test the air defense ability of the Middlesbrough back line during the pre-game arrangement, it was indeed a difficult bone, so since the air is not easy to walk, we will walk on the ground, Lu Wei saw that both crosses were destroyed by the opponent and made gestures to the field.

The players on the field understood, after preventing a few waves of Miburg's attack and then organizing an attack from the right flank again, Bowen ran diagonally to the right to receive the ball, pretending to cut inside and suddenly plugged it straight away, Tavernir who ran at high speed dodged the ball over Flander, looked up at the penalty area, at this time Michu had also run into the box to wait for a point, Taphnier saw the opportunity to pass the ball, but this time it was not a high-altitude ball, but a ground ball, and the passing target was not Michu, but pulled to Makaida outside the box.

When did he run out of the restricted area? Fry didn't notice that Makaida, who had been near the small penalty area, left his defensive area, and wanted to rush over to block the football shot by Makaida, but Makaida just shook lightly, not only fooled Fry, but also fooled goalkeeper Constantopoulos, watching the other defenders still have two meters away, and kicked the ball into the net with a strong kick.

The audience cheered for Makaida, and Lu Wei also excitedly slapped a high five with Steele next to him, causing the assistant coach to shake his hand, Lu Wei was very happy, because this goal was the embodiment of the tactics he conceived on the field.

When Tavernir inserts an assist forward, Baird will shift to the right to fill in the right-back, Holihaan also retreats to protect the central defense, Michu is in front of Klucas, the two insert the attack in batches, for the forward line to do the reception, the attacking player inserted in the center will definitely attract the attention of the opposing defender, at this time let the striker pull out of the box to get rid of the central defender's target, and the final pass is handed over to the full-back according to the position of the teammate to decide. This running tactic is a routine that Lu Wei focused on during pre-season training, and it has already begun to bear fruit.

FC United's first Championship game was ahead in the 13th minute of the first half.
