Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Balbosa's goal only secured a draw for FC United, Harry Smith. Kane was watched dead by the Reds' defence in the second half, with Tottenham failing to score another goal before the end of the game, with both sides taking one point each and leaving the pitch.

After this round of the Premier League, it was a two-week international break, and it was also the most crucial time for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, and FC United internationals were also called up to play for their country.

When the players reassembled at Newton Heath Base ten days later, Lu Wei saw more than a dozen tired-faced players, not more than a dozen spirited young men.

Sighed helplessly, organized the players to carry out physical recovery training, and was about to face the devil's schedule, but encountered the "FIFA virus", and could only rely on rotating lineups to cope with the match against Liverpool.

However, Liverpool suffered from the "FIFA virus" much more serious than FC United, Salah, Wijnaldum, Henderson and Matip are the main players of the national team, Mane also injured the hamstrings (muscles on the back of the thigh) during the national team training, had to sit in the stands at Anfield to watch the match with his old club, the main player in the forward line only Firmino spent these two weeks on the bench, with enough physical fitness to play.

Considering the long-term league, both teams have made part of the rotation of the starting lineup, FC United on the side of Balbosa, St. Maximin, Tarkovsky, Hayden and others who did not play in the national team all played, and Liverpool also sent substitutes such as Sturridge, Gomez, Moreno and so on.

In the end, the two teams who did not give their full strength exchanged white rolls, and FC United returned to Manchester with two consecutive draws to prepare for the next game.

Lu Wei went home and looked at the schedule, alas, it was really difficult.

On October 20, the third round of the Europa League group stage, away to Villarreal;

October 23, Premier League Round 9, home game against Manchester United;

October 28, Premier League round 10, away to Everton;

On 2 November, the third round of the Europa League group stage, home to Villarreal;

On 5 November, the 11th round of the Premier League, he played at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Until the next international cycle, only West Bromwich Albion was playing well, and because of the Europa League competition, it was a weekly double for two weeks, which was a huge test of the players' physical reserve.

Spain, FC United chose to train here for their pre-season training two years ago, but last time in Galicia in northwest Spain, this time in the southeast Valencia.

Villarreal's home stadium, the Stadium Ceramics, has a modest capacity (Chinese fans may be more familiar with the name Estadio de la Love, which has been officially renamed the Stadium since January 2017), with a capacity of only 23,500 because Villarreal is a small city, a few decades ago it was a small mountain village that slowly developed.

The current Villarreal is honestly not very strong, far less than the team that won the Europa League three years later, and even less so ten years ago with Riquelme and Diego. The yellow submarines of stars such as Fran and Senna, the only people in the team who can be favored by Lu Wei are Cherishev, who has no chance to play at Real Madrid, and Rodri, a young defender who is just 21 years old.

However, Cherishev was not a regular in Villarreal, and Rodri did start.

FC United and Villarreal played a wonderful match, in the 18th minute, Tavernir took a corner kick, Barbosa near the penalty spot directly volleyed, the ball quickly bounced into the inside of the post, and the ping-pong-like corner kick made the goalkeeper not react at all.

In the 30th minute, Lozano crossed from the right and McKim fired a long-range shot through Villarreal's goal again.

However, in the 41st and 44th minutes, Villarreal equalized with two goals in three minutes, with Barca and Terry Gros scoring one each.

In the second half, both teams were a little more stable, and at first glance, the two managers were angry in the dressing room at half-time, both demanding to concentrate on defense, and as a result, the second half was extremely dull and did not produce further goals.

FC United has won another draw, and now some media have begun to jokingly call FC United a peacemaker, this season has only started more than two months, FC United has played five draws, Lu Wei is also helpless about this, the team's attack and defense are not faulty, but luck is not very good.

But back on the red court, luck is back to FC United, Phil. Jones strained his thigh in the 23rd minute of the game and was replaced by Lindelof, and Lindelof is worthy of the Chinese fans' joke about him, Matuidi backfield long pass, Lindelof actually rose to the top without any interference!

Barbosa was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran quickly past Lindelof to catch up with the ball, dribbled the ball into the box and fired a low shot to give the team the lead.

In the 33rd minute, Robertson took a corner kick and Harry Maguire fought for the ball in the crowd as a standard lion's head shake headed the ball into the goal at 2-0.

Manchester United's form after European competition is obviously not as good as his "little brother", and the whole game was muddy, and Mourinho used up the remaining two substitutions at half-time, which shows how dissatisfied he is with the players.

Rashford, who came off the bench, saved some face for United and in the 72nd minute, Romelu Lukaku split the ball and Marcus Rashford fired a low shot to make it 2-1.

However, United lost again to FC United, and cheerful Red Rebel fans sang a mocking song in the stands, a scene that made Ed Woodward in the box look ugly.

United's poor performances also made Jose Mourinho angry after the game.

"We always complicate things, all the movements are slow, there are always redundant movements."

"You go and ask them, I can't answer that question for the players."

"I have nothing to say."

Jose Mourinho's anger did not reach FC United, who scored two goals at Goodison Park to win Everton and Tyrone. Mins was hit by the Red Rebels in this game, and almost everyone wanted to take revenge on him, especially Robertson, who had been a teammate for many years at FC United.

He made a rare rush to the front of the team to press the Everton defender, managed to snatch the ball back from Tyrone's feet and assisted Lozano to score a goal.

Tyrone is also very aggrieved, usually he is a man who dares to step on Ibrahimovic, but today he was bullied by Robertson and others and did not dare to fight back, no way, FC United is equivalent to training himself into a professional player, in the face of this kindness, what kind of talent will repay virtue with grievances, and leaving FC United last year is almost equivalent to defection, Tyrone himself is also a little careless.

Having said that, Tyrone did his job as an Everton player, defending his former team-mates well, but FC United's two full-backs were in excellent form, with Tavernir receiving Sollot's pass from a small angle volley in the second half to seal the victory for the Reds.

Unbeaten in the Devils' fixture schedule, FC United have unwittingly risen to fifth place in the Premier League.
