Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

The 1-3 win over Brentford completely blew away the gloom of FC United's winning streak in the Championship, and even training was full of energy.

With such momentum, Bournemouth beat the flawless distraction cup in the Carabao Cup and returned to the league against Wolves to finish the September fixture with another 6-2 victory, and FC United finally squeezed into sixth place.

Sixth place is a very delicate place, for the 24 Championship teams, the top two can go straight to the Premier League, and three to six places have to participate in the promotion play-offs, so FC United can also be regarded as stepping into the preparation room for the Premier League.

Rising from the Championship to the Premier League is not just a league-level improvement, but also a huge increase in revenue, even the TV revenue of the Premier League relegation team is much higher than the income of the top four teams in the other five major leagues, which alone can bring the team 170 million pounds per season, so every strong Championship team will do everything to squeeze the threshold for promotion.

Lu Wei is no exception, as long as the team is promoted to the Premier League as soon as possible, the sooner his ambitious plan can be realized, and the football club of FC United fans will also usher in a qualitative transformation.

After a short break of a week, FC United were put together by Sheffield Wednesday, with Kosovo striker Nussiu deceived the referee in a fake fall in the box, John United. Egan hurriedly said he hadn't touched him, but the referee gave Sheffield a penalty Wednesday and a yellow card to Igan, who had been chattering.

Nussiu himself took the penalty, the shot was not fast, but the angle was very bad, Mendy struggled to save only to touch the edge of the ball, and the ball still flew into the goal.

With a goal in hand, Sheffield's Portuguese coach Carvajal on Wednesday immediately adjusted his tactics and began a defensive counterattack, and the cunning Nussiu also took the initiative to find fault with Mins and Igan, and the unbearable Egan finally showed a second yellow card by the referee and was asked to go off the pitch.

Sheffield immediately turned defense into attack on Wednesday, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, that is, bullying you to have one less person. But Lu Wei was not a good persimmon either, and immediately removed Michu for McKin, allowing Baird to withdraw to the guard position, which did not allow Sheffield to extend the score on Wednesday, but the disadvantage of one less man still affected the Red Rebels' attack and lost the game.

"Do you need me to stress it again? This is a football game, not a wrestling ring, not a debate match, don't care what dirty little actions they do, don't care if the referee's whistle doesn't sound, as long as the ball doesn't stop in the net, you can't stop, yes, I know the other party is clever, but there is the ability for you to fight back with a goal, there is the ability for you to fight back with a tackle that makes him have nothing to say, I don't limit you to fouls, but I want to limit your meaningless fouls, and remember one thing, what is there with me as a coach, If you have any complaints about the referee on the field, I will negotiate, you all give me control of that mouth, John, I will not punish you this time, but you have to firmly learn the lesson of this time, not only you, but all of you must remember what you are doing on the court, do you hear clearly?

"Hear me clearly!"

"What are you going to do on the pitch?" Lu Wei slapped the table hard.

"Win!" "Win!" "Win!"

After this round of matches, there will be a round of international breaks, FC United also got two weeks off for the first time in October, but some of the Red Rebel players did not get rest, Robertson was selected for the Scotland national team for the first time in March this year, and this time he was arrested to play in the European Championship qualifiers, Zinchenko was called up to the national team for the first time, and Baird naturally continued to play for the Northern Ireland national team without a doubt. McGim and Gnabry were selected for their respective national youth teams to play in the UEFA U21 qualifiers.

However, Lu Wei is not worried that they will consume too much energy in the national team, Robertson and Baird are now only substitutes in the national team, Zinchenko, the newcomer, only came off the bench for 2 minutes in garbage time with Spain, McGim and Gnabry played a youth team game with little intensity, and they are not absolute main players and will not affect the team's next preparations.

The rest of the people stayed at Newton Heath Base for training, because the two left-backs were not in the team, Tavernir Jr. was also transferred from the youth team by Lu Wei to participate in the first team training, Lu Wei also used these two weeks to adjust the players to their condition, Grams, Hogan and other players with minor injuries slowly recovered, and when Robertson and others returned, the Red Rebels finally regained the feeling of winning.

Possession rate 64:36, shot ratio 28:4, shot ratio 14:3, this is FC United and Cardiff City post-match statistics, the Reds played an almost one-sided game, the final score was 3:0, if not for Cardiff's goalkeeper Marshall, the number of goals would have been more (after all, it is also Scotland's second goal).

Three days later away to Athletic Charlton, FC United scored four more goals in one game, showing their strong attacking firepower. In the 12th minute, Tavernir held the ball on the right wing, Michu ran to make a two-over-one cooperation with him and then took the ball into the box, a low cross was cleared by the defender with his legs, but the ball returned to Michu's feet, Michu again passed the ball to Taphnier's side, but this time Tavernir chose to pass back, Grimes ran over to meet the ball and hoisted the return pass into the box, Makeda ran backwards and ran to the back point, with his head hard to point the ball to the center of the penalty area, Michu inserted the goal and pushed the goal near the penalty spot.

The attack showcased FC United's dominance and control in attack, with Athletic Charlton not getting the ball for a minute, with the only touch coming when a defender blocked a cross from Tavernir.

In just ten minutes, Klucas, Makaida and Gnabry scored three goals in quick succession to give a four-goal lead in the first half, before Lu Wei replaced Pinnock, Tony and Maddison in the second half before Lukman pulled a goal back for Athletic Charlton.

Lukman is 18 years old with Maddison and Bowen, Lu Wei also heard about him, and was later taken away by Everton, but he was slow to play well, leaving England for Germany and Italy but playing for value, Lu Wei also wanted to take him to the red court this summer, but manager Guy was determined not to let him go, it seems that this is to let Lukman in the first season into the first team entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

In the thirteenth round of the Championship, FC United will play Brighton again, this is the third time Lu Wei has met them in five years, the first FC United is still an amateur team, the second time FC United is a League One team, and the third meeting between both sides is already a Championship team.

Brighton are now at the top of the Championship, unbeaten in eight wins and four draws in twelve games, while FC United are sixth in place, and losing one could risk falling out of the promotion play-offs, and the long-feuding teams will certainly not spare each other, it will certainly be a Mars hit the earth.
