Red Rebels

?

"The Red Rebels made substitutions. Drogba replaced the injured Beckham and served as the team's forward. Obviously Mourinho still hopes to increase the offensive pressure on Chelsea. Ancelotti scored two goals Given the advantage, it is natural to choose a safe contraction tactic and avoid the Red Rebels’ edge first!”

Martin Taylor nodded and said: "The layout and changes of the head coaches of both sides can be said to have no loopholes. The only riskier thing is Drogba's appearance, with only a single midfielder behind him. Essien's ability is beyond doubt, but he Can it withstand the attacks from Chelsea's midfield?"

Little did they know that as soon as Martin Taylor finished speaking, Chelsea, who took the lead in the second half, launched a wave of attacks into the Red Rebels' hinterland. Joe Cole took the ball on the left, but was forced by Maicon and had to pass it to Deco was inserted in the middle, but Essien suddenly appeared in front of him and cleared the ball in advance.

Essien made a strong clearance. Drogba leaned on Stam in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Kaka who was inserted in the back row. Kaka pushed the ball to the right. Messi rushed forward and went directly to the baseline. , kicked the ball in and made a pass.

Cannavaro was interfered by Villa and moved forward, but Messi's cross was aimed at the far post. Ronaldinho shot out diagonally and blocked Ferreira behind him. Under the interference of La, he forced a hook shot.

Hildebrand was unable to do anything about the shot that was so close, 1:2!

"In the 48th minute of the second half, the Red Rebels' first attack caused Chelsea to concede the ball. This was a quick counterattack. The Red Rebels gave Chelsea almost no time to organize their defense. From Essien's interception to Kaka's score, side, and then to Messi’s cross, all in one go.”

After scoring the goal, Ronaldinho seemed very excited. He made a glider action and ran all the way on the field. When he passed the coaching bench, he even reached out and patted Mourinho who was running out, and ran to the Red Rebels fans. In front of the stands, he made a gesture of listening, as if to tell the Red Rebels fans, where is the cheer?

The fans immediately responded with the warmest applause of the audience, and the entire Red Rebel Stadium seemed to be boiling.

After Ronaldinho returned from the celebration, he continued to accept congratulations from his teammates, especially Messi, who assisted him. The two hugged tightly and accepted the cheers of the fans together.

After being pulled back a goal by the tenacious Red Rebels, Chelsea seemed a little flustered, but Ancelotti quickly stabilized the players and began to fight steadily with the Red Rebels.

Essien sat alone in the midfield, and Chelsea took turns to attack his area. However, the Ghanaian just used his unremitting running and tenacious fighting spirit to resolve the crisis time and time again, while the attacking group of the Red Rebels in the frontcourt In addition to actively participating in counter-attacks, it also acts as a deterrent to Chelsea, making them afraid to press forward easily.

This resulted in Essien being like a wall.

Standing in front of the Red Rebels' defense, Evra and Maicon took turns advancing to assist, while Chelsea's counterattack could hardly pass through Essien's defensive area.

"Oh my god, it's Essien again, a good tackle. Lampard complained to the referee about the foul, but the referee said it was a good tackle."

"After Beckham went off injured, Essien alone stood up the backbone of the Red Rebels. Judging from the first 10 minutes of the second half, his performance was almost perfect. It was difficult for Chelsea to pass through the interception zone he built. He was like He is an accelerated version of Makelele, with excellent lateral interception ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Essien once again predicted in advance and intercepted the ball passed by Veron to Shevchenko, and then handed it to Kaká, who retreated to receive the ball. The latter played with Evra who came in from the left. In cooperation, the latter went down to the baseline and passed the ball. Under Stam's interference, Drogba headed the ball high.

"Obviously, during the halftime break, Mourinho gave Essien the task of defending, desperately defending. He has to complete the defensive tasks that the previous two people should complete." Martin Taylor analyzed.

"But judging from the scene, the Red Rebels' frontcourt suppression did a good job of diluting Essien's defensive pressure. However, the performance of the Ghanaian star is really eye-catching. He is almost everywhere, full of physical fitness, fierce defense, plus behind him With the centre-back combination of John Terry and Vidic, Chelsea didn’t even have a threatening shot from the start of the second half.”

"The Red Rebels' tactics are very clear. They know that Chelsea's midfield is strong and they won't fight you in the center. They attack from the wings. The two full-backs actively push forward. When attacking, they form a numerical advantage on the wings. Look, again It was Maicon and Messi who worked together on the wing to get past Bridge."

Messi cut inside and passed to the baseline. Maicon looked at the ball and passed directly.

Drogba was firmly stuck in the middle. Stam failed to take advantage of his physical competition and could only continue to interfere behind him. However, Drogba still grabbed the first point and headed the goal. .

Hildebrand reacted quickly, put his hands together, saved Drogba's header, grabbed the ball before Villa, and lay on the ground holding the ball tightly.

"This time it was Hildebrand who made the contribution. Villa appeared in the most threatening place. He almost helped the Red Rebels regain the score, but Hildebrand still made a quick decision after falling to the ground. responded and resolved this crisis!”

The German goalkeeper has shown great strength after moving to Chelsea. Chelsea has only conceded 10 goals so far this season, the fewest among all Premier League teams. Hildebrand's stable performance is indispensable. No, the call for the German goalkeeper to replace Kahn has become louder and louder.

Although Chelsea's defense was tenacious, the Red Rebels' offensive came one after another, and they soon came back again, still on the right, but this time Bridge was stuck in position and Messi could not find it. The only opportunity was to knock back Maicon who was inserted in the back row. The latter observed for a while and moved the ball to the left with his big feet.

After Evra stopped the ball with his chest, he dribbled forward with the ball.

Villa suddenly burst out of the penalty area, received Evra's pass, and responded to Kaka who ran out of the gap. The latter suddenly kicked off, but the ball hit the eye-catching Cannavaro, but Evra got the ball before Veron and suddenly passed through.

Ronaldinho made a sharp cut inside and stopped the ball under Ferreira's personal interference. Although he lost his center of gravity when getting rid of it, he still distributed the ball to the center despite the bump. Kaká kept playing the ball. , took advantage of the situation and kicked the goal.

Hildebrand paid close attention to Ronaldinho's movements. When Kaká shot, he couldn't make the save and could only watch the ball hit the net again, 2:2!

“In the 67th minute, the Red Rebels completely wiped out the defeat of the first half, using a mercury-like offensive and relying on unremitting efforts to even the score almost unbelievably.

Kaka picked up the ball from the net and kept waving to his teammates along the way, indicating that the game would continue!

Every player knows very well that what the Red Rebels want is a victory, not a draw, so after equalizing the score, the Red Rebels became more aggressive, attacking one after another, Chelsea's There was a rumbling sound in front of the door.

Ancelotti clearly felt the changes in the Red Rebels. After the score was equalized, he knew that he could not allow the Red Rebels' arrogance to continue and must be curbed, so he replaced Pele with Carvalho. Long, the Portuguese plays as a defensive midfielder, strengthens the midfield interception, and consolidates the defense.

This substitution did have a great effect. The Red Rebels' offensive was immediately curbed, and the effective threatening attacks were reduced. However, the offensive did not slow down at all, but gradually gained momentum.

This was already the best half-time performance of the Red Rebels in the past month, so when the team equalized the score, more than 50,000 fans at the Red Rebel Stadium cheered and cheered for the team.

With the support of the fans and the players getting more and more excited as they played, they even launched an attack on Chelsea's defense at all costs. Even Mourinho couldn't help but be infected by the momentum when he saw the scene.

In the 79th minute, the Red Rebels, who had been unable to attack for a long time, made adjustments again. Mourinho once again made a surprising decision. This time he replaced central defender Vidic with teenager Cesc Fabregas and let France Bregas played the role of a free midfielder.

This adjustment quickly paid off.

Fabregas, who had just played for less than 2 minutes, took the ball on the right side of the midfield. He suddenly passed the ball diagonally behind him and accurately found Evra, who was unmarked on the left. The latter inserted into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle and received the ball. After pushing to the right, Messi rushed over and succeeded in pushing the shot before Hildebrand, 3:2!

The Red Rebels achieved an amazing reversal, and this is likely to be the Red Rebels' first league victory in the past month!

The moment Messi scored, Mourinho jumped high in excitement, but after landing, he kept moving towards the players on the field, indicating that they should continue to maintain pressure on Chelsea and strive to score more goals. .

Just as Ancelotti was about to adjust, the Red Rebels' offensive soon came again.

After a beautiful collaboration between Kaka and Cesc Fabregas in the middle, the Spanish teenager suddenly hit the goal with a kick from outside the penalty area. Hildebrand was caught off guard and flew to save the ball, but the game seemed very quiet. , Villa, who wasted several excellent opportunities, did not let go of the opportunity this time. He grabbed the ball before Cannavaro returned to defense and poked the ball into the goal, 4:2!

The fans in the stands were crazy happy. When the first half was about to end, they couldn't bear to watch any more and wanted to leave early. But who could have imagined that the second half would suddenly turn around and the Red Rebels would beat Chelsea. 4 goals, a great reversal.

But that's not all. Until the last moment of the game, the Red Rebels were still launching attacks. The appearance of Fabregas gave the Red Rebels' offense a rationale. The Spanish teenager's distribution and through balls were very skillful. Especially after Kaka came off the field in the second half, he gained greater freedom in the frontcourt. With a through ball before the end of the game, Drogba defeated Stam and succeeded in countering offside, and succeeded in pushing the shot into the near corner, 5:2. !

The Red Rebel fans stood up from their seats desperately and sang the Red Rebel anthem loudly. The loud singing spread throughout the stadium and infected everyone.

Ancelotti was a little helpless. He had done everything a head coach could do, but he had to admit that the Red Rebels' performance in the second half was absolutely great, especially when they fell behind 0:2. In a sluggish state and with a weak offense, Mourinho dared to choose to press out and play.

Ancelotti was also wary of this move, so he asked the players to stabilize at the start of the second half. But who would have thought that the crazy Red Rebels would be so unreasonable. They showed enough strength to destroy all opponents. They Led an epic reversal, staged a bloody counterattack, and dominated a great half of the game.

"I'm sorry, but this is football!" Ancelotti said sadly at the post-match press conference.

When facing reporters about whether the Red Rebels were worthy of this epic turnaround, Ancelotti shook his head and said: "I will not directly evaluate my opponent, but from this game, I see more When it comes to our team’s problems, we seemed a little flustered when facing difficulties. Yes, the Red Rebels did perform well, but it was because of our constant mistakes that led to their goals.”

"From 0:2 to 5:2, we learned a lot from it, which is more valuable than the 3 points gained from winning the game!"

Next to him, Mourinho always remained a gentleman. Once he won, he was always in a particularly good mood, but his smile was annoying. When Ancelotti finished speaking, he nodded and said, " Yes, we also learned a lot!”

The reporters at the scene laughed in unison.
