Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

A one-to-one draw with Sokensp United gave FC United his first point in the professional league, and after the game, Lu Wei's promotion declaration was also supported by FC United fans, but all the fans except Manchester thought that FC United would return to the amateur arena after a lap in their first professional season, and it is not known whether the managers of other teams thought so.

FC United will return to Manchester that evening after the game, and Lu Wei did not give the team a routine holiday the next day, not because the team did not win, but because three days later it was the first round of the Carabao Cup, FC United will continue the road trip to challenge Tranmere Rangers in Liverpool. Trenmere Rangers were eleventh in League One last season, and their 3-1 defeat to Millwall in the just-concluded first round of League One allowed them to turn their defeat into motivation to vent their anger on FC United.

Although it is not the first time to play a League One team, Lu Wei has never let the team really enter professional training in the first two years, and the gap between amateur teams and professional teams is not one or two stars can make up, so improving the daily training of the team is an essential work for Lu Wei and the FC United coaching staff.

Although the Newton Heath training base is only half completed, it does not affect the normal training of the first team and youth team here, Lu Wei is leading the players on the sidelines for tactical training, the team has a "one high and one strong" forward combination such as Akinfenwa and Moore, this combination is even more lethal than the traditional "one high and one fast" in the lower leagues of England, this advantage is not Lu Wei if not used well, and the central defender of the Tranmere Rangers except Ashe. Except for Taylor, he is not tall.

Rory. Dragp already had the idea of retiring at the end of last season, but after Lu Wei's persuasion to go to the League Two, because the idea of becoming a coach after retirement has long been in Drag's plan, FC United now has Ferran, Ferguson's right-hand man, and Dragp can learn.

Delap, who learned from the old coach, is also the object of humble advice from FC United players, and Stoke City first felt the enthusiasm of the Premier League in 2008, and finishing 12th in their debut season really made everyone marvel at this team, and in those years the name "Sky City" resounded in the green world.

And the core of "Sky City" is Rory. Drag, Stoke City's first 13 Premier League goals, seven of which came from out-of-bounds balls he thrown, was able to fly 40 metres in the air at speeds of up to 60 km/h from the touchline, and there were rumours that Ireland intended to invite Draple to the javelin throw at London 2012.

Although this is just an after-dinner conversation, it also reflects how terrifying the out-of-bounds ball sent by Delap is, and many teams would rather give corners than out-of-bounds when facing Stoke City, David . Moyes also commented that Delap is a trebuchet, which shows the damage this tactic has caused in the Premier League.

However, Delap's powerful out-of-bounds ball has blinded many people, football has never been a game of "one trick to eat", once the core of Derby County midfield and top scorer, once held the transfer record of Southampton for more than ten years, but due to injuries, Dragp's foot skills slowly declined. Although many people have forgotten this, Lu Wei has not forgotten, since the beginning of the season, Klucas, Grimes and Robertson have been arranged to learn from Drag's experience, and Draghi has also taught his juniors, although it is difficult to repeat the ball on the field, but those experiences will continue in Robertson.

"Andrew, when you want to send a long-range out-of-bounds ball, you must fully assist, with this inertia you can throw the ball farther, pay attention to my movements, assist to the sideline and then a big stride, to firmly fix the front foot, stabilize the lower body, shoulder and back at the same time instant force, the upper body like a whip thrown out, the angle when throwing the ball out is not too big, not the ordinary people understand that 45 ° is the farthest throw angle, 20 ° to 35 ° angle is the best, the trajectory of the ball is as flat as possible, To keep a straight line, this is similar to the free kick, depending on how you feel when you practice. Delap

said and threw the football in his hand towards the box, and high school forward Moore squeezed Tyrone to grab the landing point, pushed the ball into the goal, and a round of applause rang out at Newton Heath Training Ground, of course, such applause is not once or twice.

On August 6, FC United, who participated in the League Cup for the first time, were also looking forward to the game, and Lu Wei also announced the starting line-up in the training session the day before, goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Lazari, Lahmani, Tyrone, Robertson, midfielders Thayer, Grimes and Delap, and the forward trident is Bowen, Mane and Moore. As soon as the starting list was announced, Lu Wei first congratulated Bowen, because he checked the information, Bowen will break the record of the youngest player to play in the League Cup again, and the young Bowen also coyly accepted everyone's encouragement, this starting lineup can be said to be quite young, in addition to the 37-year-old Delap, the oldest is 21-year-old Mane.

When FC United 11 men appeared at Pullunton Park, everyone thought that FC United had given up the Carabao Cup match, and the all-main Trenmere Rangers also thought so, but the result hit everyone in the face, and the big screen on the pitch showed a 1-2 score, with the home team in front.

In the 14th minute, a direct shot by the Trenmere Rangers was too powerful, Pickford decisively struck and made a big foot, Moore's scrambling header went to the feet of Grimes, Matt Jr. adjusted and sent a beautiful straight stop, Mane reversed the offside successfully, and an easy push gave FC United the lead, although only four minutes later, the Trenmere Rangers equalized the score, Rowe broke through Lazari's defense, and the bottom cross assisted striker Andy. Robertson scored with a header.

However, in the 27th minute, a "grenade" drew a wonderful trajectory at Prunton Park Stadium, Dragp threw a powerful out-of-bounds ball on the right side, and the unprepared Trenmere rangers watched the football fly over his head and all the way to Moore's head, all Moore had to do was jump and put the ball into the net, and Drag's stunt put FC United ahead again.

Leading FC United strengthened their defensive hardness and midfield interception intensity under the command of Lu Wei, replacing Dragp for Carter in the second half, Carter assisted Lazari and Lahmani in the back position, Thayer retreated to the back position, continued to stabilize the midfield defense, and maintained the score until the end, and the Trenmil Rangers were eliminated by the Reds who participated in the competition for the first time.
