Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Taking advantage of the touchline opportunity, FC United made a substitution, with Gnabry replacing Makeda and McKim replacing Baird.

As soon as Karanka saw that he was replaced by a Championship transfer king and an unknown player, he immediately asked his assistant about McKim, but McKim had been playing in the Scottish league before, and Middlesbrough did not collect information about him, only knew that he was a defensive midfielder. Although Gnabry didn't play much last season, the level of players produced by Arsenal's youth academy Karanka is also clear, when he saw Gnabry standing on the left winger, he immediately told Karas to pay attention to this German kid, as for McKim, it should just be a substitution with Baird, but can you prevent Downing by changing young people.

Karanka then made adjustments, replacing Kirk for Stuani and sending in the Uruguay international to increase the team's counter-attacking speed.

But what Karanka didn't expect was that McKim didn't appear next to Downing, and he didn't even have someone to keep an eye on Downing, which can make Karanka happy, you don't guard my core, then it's up to Downing to continue to score.

Is it really that simple? After a cross from Gnabry hit the defender, Middlesbrough counterattacked, and when the ball came to Downing's feet, he found that several of his forwards were targeted by FC United's defenders, Downing secretly gambled on it, sent a long pass over the top to find FC United's behind, but the flag raised by the linesman interrupted Middlesbrough, Stuani was offside, Robertson gave a free kick to Holihaan, FC United organized the attack again in less than 20 seconds.

A long-range shot in front of the Klucas penalty area was held in the arms of the goalkeeper, Constantopoulos threw the ball to Downing to counterattack, Downing did not easily kick this time, but chose to carry the ball himself, and when McKim pounced, he dunked the ball to the right and avoided the defense, but this counterattack came to an abrupt end.

Karanka then understood Lu Wei's intention not to send people to stare at Tangning, look at the fast forward, as long as you want a long pass I will create offside, if you want to dribble the ball then don't think about a quick counterattack, you want to short pass that is embarrassing, our defenders have already set their sights on your passing target, waiting for you only to lose the ball.

Karanka regretted why he replaced Kirk, with Kirk on the field, Middlesbrough could not fight back and turn into a positional battle, but now that Kirk is on the field, Middlesbrough lacks a battering ram.

But now it's too late to regret, and the players you replaced can't let you replace again, so Karanka had to replace Ratche for Adam. Forshaw, let Downing return to the left wing, strengthen Middlesbrough's possession, replace Lidbitt with Stephenson to strengthen the defensive hardness.

Although Lu Wei still has a substitution, he does not plan to make any further adjustments, I believe that the players on the field can break through the Middlesbrough goal, when a reporter asked Lu Wei after the game why he did not change, Lu Wei replied.

Finally in the 86th minute of the game, the Red Rebels repaid the trust of the manager, Gnabry flanked a crotch past Callas, went down and passed the ball to the box, Michu's shot hit Stephenson's body and did not bounce far, Michu reacted quickly, saw a figure wearing a red jersey at the top of the arc of the penalty area twisted and poked the ball, McKim who ran over met the ball angrily, and the football rushed to the upper right corner of the goal, The goalkeeper, who was still on Michu, did not have time to make a save before he saw that the football had flown into the net.

“Goal'！！！ A stone-shattering long-range shot that equalized for our Red Rebels, John—" "

McKim!" To the cheers of the audience and the commentator, McKim rushed to the sidelines in excitement, took off his No. 17 shirt and waved it on his head, not caring if he would receive a yellow card for this action.

The referee, whether you were too excited about your first goal on the team, showed McKim a yellow card, and McKim smiled wryly and shook his head to return to his position.

"Don't slack, it's just a draw now, they don't have any offensive ability left, hurry up and score another goal, I hope you can walk off the pitch to the cheers of the fans in triumph." Lu Wei reminded the players on the sidelines.

However, there were no more goals in the rest of the time, and the game ended after Downing's high-quality free kick was also saved by Jaskolenin, and Jaskolenin also shook his finger to Downing for the first time, seeing the movements of his old teammates, Downing smiled helplessly, took off his jersey and handed it to Jaskoleninen.

"It's a shame, Jussie, how good this goal had been scored just now."

"I'm not going to let you in my goal again, but it's a shame we almost won you."

"You dream, it's my home stadium in the next leg, I heard about losing to your team in the Carabao Cup last year, but this year I'm here and I'll give you a taste of losing at the Vale." Saying cruel words, the two veterans came to a bear hug fiercely.

Two substitutes helped FC United equalize, making fans more impressed by Lu Wei's ability to deploy troops, because they will travel to London for the Carabao Cup match in three days, the team assembled early the next morning for training, the players who played yesterday's game were under Gardner's leadership for physical recovery training, and the rest of the players were arranged by Lu Wei to play in groups.

Crewe fell into League Two this season, lost two league meetings with FC United last season, and did not score a single goal, and it was because FC United put water in the game against Leiden Orient to get a valuable three points, which squeezed Crewe into League Two, so Crewe has always been worried about FC United and vowed to regain some face in the League Cup.

However, the gap in the strength of the two teams allowed Crewe to lose again under the Red Rebels' flag, and all substitute FC United scored four goals, Hogan scored twice, Bowen scored a goal, and the young Ben. White also scored his first goal for FC United in a corner kick.
