Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

The one-goal lead FC United played easier in the rest of the game, Lu Wei replaced Bowen for Egan to defend with all his strength, leaving only Daniel and Makaida in front waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, Middlesbrough is still anxious to equalize the score, but FC United has as many as 9 defenders within 30 meters of the back, the high ball has a height of 1.94m Rahmani in the first place at all, the ground ball is protected by Tyrone, Egan and Holihaan can not find a gap to pass, The inactive Bamford was also shown a yellow card by the referee for spitting fragrance into Tyrone's mouth after being substituted, which is just one aspect of Middlesbrough's anxiety.

After 90 minutes, Middlesbrough could not do anything about the bus put down by FC United, and in the end, FC United maintained the one-goal advantage until the end, eliminating Middlesbrough into the third round of the Carabao Cup, and FC United's next round opponents will be decided in three days, Lu Wei can focus on the league.

As the season progresses, Lu Wei is more and more fond of Hogan, the little-known striker, the 23-year-old Hogan himself is a Manchesterman, Rochdale youth academy, from the amateur league began his football career finally ushered in the outbreak in FC United, and not only can score, the execution of tactical arrangements is also very strong, when the team needs to be a green leaf, the game against Middlesbrough is just a microcosm, when the team needs him, he can always stand up for the team when it needs him, It's a pity that his strength is limited and he has not been able to appear on the stage of the top league, but because of Hogan's existence, Lu Wei will always choose an "Orlich-style" player to expand the team when choosing forwards in the future.

Back in the league three days later, Tavernir, who had a full rest, connected with Michu, and it was Michu's spot-grabbing shot inserted in the middle, and Michu's first start of the new season helped FC United win over Brentford to take three points. Not long after the match, the results of the third round draw of the Carabao Cup came out, and when Walsh called to inform Lu Wei of the draw of the opponent, Lu Wei jumped up in the dressing room excitedly.

"Guys, our opponents in the next round of the Carabao Cup are out, who do you guess?"

The players were also puzzled when they saw Lu Wei's excited expression, what opponent would make the manager so excited, or Tyrone, who only wanted revenge, said first, "It should be Brighton or Liverpool, we have both lost to them in the cup, and we can finally take revenge."

"Eh, you're right, it's Brighton, we lost to them in the FA Cup four years ago, but this time we're going to get revenge."

After leaving the dressing room to let the players roam freely, Tyrone and Klucas, who narrowly beat Brighton four divisions above their teammates four years ago, marveled at the miracle of the past to those who didn't know much about the team's history.

FC United began the feat of four consecutive league jumps after losing to Brighton in the FA Cup, and were promoted from the league every year, and only last year did not win the league title that season, and the Pope, Moore, Vardy and Mane introduced by Lu Wei are now in the Premier League and are likely to continue their myth this year.

Brighton are now firmly established in the Championship after winning the League One title in the 10-11 season, and have reached the promotion play-offs in the first two seasons, but lost to Crystal Palace and Derby County respectively, Brighton have changed three managers in three years after being promoted to the Championship, the current manager is former Liverpool captain Hypia, Lu Wei has seen the news of Hypia in his previous life, it seems that he was dismissed by the club for poor results after half a season in charge of Brighton, although he just eliminated Swindon in the Carabao Cup, But it was only a narrow victory over the opponent in extra time, and in Lu Wei's heart, Brighton's strength was not as good as Middlesbrough.

Lu Wei walked out of the red stadium and also met some fans who had not yet left the field, and also greeted and took photos with them, on the flyover Lu Wei recalled the FA Cup four years ago, FC United who was still in the Northern League Super Group defeated the then League One champion Brighton in the first leg, but unfortunately was overturned by the all-main Brighton 4:3 aggregate score in the second leg.

Now that FC United have completed their transformation, Brighton are still dormant in the Championship, and the gap between the two sides has narrowed to a negligible level, will the result be the same as it was four years ago? Of course not, Lu Wei clenched his fists on the flyover, I won't let this happen, four years ago we didn't have enough confidence, but now we're different, Brighton will just be a stumbling block in our way forward.

There are still four league games and a Vanguard Winners' Cup to play before the League Cup match with Brighton, the Vanguard Winners' Cup is a cup tournament with only League A and League B participation, FC United lost to Chesfield in a penalty shootout last season in the case of semi-main play, unfortunately did not go further in this competition, but no team will value this game, are sent youth teams and substitutes to participate in exercise and find game status, but Lu Wei seems to have a trophy collecting fetish, After all, the team cannot participate in the Pioneer Winners' Cup after promotion, so in addition to being promoted this season, the Pioneer Winners' Cup is also a championship that Lu Wei is bound to win.

The game also went well, just 20 minutes Naismith and Grimes both scored to give FC United a 2-0 lead over Crewee, Naismith received Bowen's pass to break through the goal, Grimes nodded before receiving the corner, originally Karl. Naismith wants to leave the team in the summer to go to a club with more opportunities to play, but there is no team to contact him all summer, so he has to continue to stay at FC United, and Lu Wei is also happy to have such a generalist to stay in the team as a supplement, after all, there are very few players who can play in the front, middle and back lines.

In the second half, when Crewe defenders were sent off for fouling two yellows and one red to block Bowen's breakthrough, the game had lost its suspense, and the FC United Manchester crowd also slowed down the tempo to maintain his fitness, and Ivan, who came off the bench in the final stage. Tony also scored his first goal for FC United to add to the game.

Due to the intensive schedule of the League One, Lu Wei continued to use the rotation method, FC United saved the momentum with a 4-0 victory after a 1-4 defeat to Sheffield United, and Walsall became the target of FC United, sweeping away the depression after the loss. FC United continue to consolidate their rankings after the victory, currently only four points away from top Bristol City, Taphnir has provided assists in these games and is already third in the assists list, and Makeda is also fourth in the top scorers list with six goals.

Although the use of rotation will affect the team's tactical coordination and results, but it also avoids injuries to players in the intensive schedule, FC United's medical laboratory is located in the famous sports medicine expert Andy United. Marseille became more professional after moving in, all players will be examined by the team doctor before and after the game to determine whether there is a risk of injury and the conditions of the game, because of synovitis slowly recovered for two months Michu also passed the team doctor's examination can play the whole game, the team full of FC United began to prepare to face the old rival four years ago - Brighton.
