Red Rebels

726 The moment of transcending tactics

"To be able to win this award again, I think I have to thank one person."

Cristiano Ronaldo, the 2008 World Footballer of the Year winner, stood on the stage of the Zurich Opera House, facing countless live broadcast cameras and countless reporters' recorders. He had no stage fright at all and was very classy. .

He has the face of a typical Latin lover, wears stud earrings, and always has an uninhibited smile on his lips. This makes him have countless fans around the world, especially female fans. I believe that at this time, in Among the fans who watched this scene in front of the TV, there were also many fans of Ronaldinho, and they must also be happy for him.

"This person has never played football, but in my opinion, he understands football better than anyone else and understands the connotation of football better. He gave me a stage to play and an opportunity to show myself. At the same time, he also Silently, they did everything they could to protect me and create a feeling of home for me."

Xiao Luo was obviously excited. He paused and listened for a while, and then there was a round of applause.

Mourinho, Messi, Kaká and others all looked at Xiao Yu next to Eva Snow, who smiled as if a father saw his child on stage to accept the award, full of excitement. Rejoiced.

Everyone knows that the person Xiao Luo wants to thank is him

"I still remember that in the summer of 2006, when I was most panicked, when I was almost at the lowest point in my life, I..." Xiao Luo paused again, obviously at this time He was very, very excited.

"I really didn't know what to do at the time, so I tried and made a phone call. On the phone, he didn't say anything. He just told me that he had been waiting for my call and that he knew I would I called him and he told me it was time to go home."

Xiao Luo paused again. At this time, the audience once again burst into overwhelming cheers and applause.

"At that moment, I suddenly realized how stupid my hesitation was and how pathetic my cowardice was. It was also at that moment that I made a decision that I had never been able to make, which was to stay in the Red Rebels. Army, staying with this team can give me a warm feeling of home anytime and anywhere.”

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yu. I will never forget the help you gave me. I will use my loyalty, my lifelong loyalty, to repay you and the Red Rebels." Xiao Luo raised the trophy in his hand high. .

"I also want to thank my teammates, they are the best teammates in the world, what they have done for me, I will never forget to say hello to those guys who said they wanted me to move to Manchester City and Chelsea.

I never want to and will never leave the Red Rebels, I hope to retire with this team."

The scene burst into loud applause again, and everyone was obviously infected by Xiao Luo's remarks.

If Xiao Luo in his previous life was like a prodigal son, then Xiao Luo in this life has completely changed his character under the influence of the Red Rebels. He has become the most loyal guard of the Red Rebels.

This makes Xiao Yu below feel proud, because he personally created the Red Rebels, and the Red Rebels personally created players such as Ronaldinho, Messi, Kaká and Beckham, and is still creating more and more world-class superstar.

Ronaldinho and Pele hugged each other, accepted the encouragement from the football king, and then walked off the stage.

But suddenly he became naughty, and it was a bit like there are often Easter eggs after the subtitles of movies. He suddenly returned to the microphone, which made all the reporters immediately gather towards him again.

"My good brother Leo Messi just said that he doesn't want to lose to me again in the future. I know that he really wants to beat me, just like I have always wanted to beat Kaká, but we have never had such a chance. , I hope we can have the opportunity to compete together next time.”

"Leo, I hope the person standing here next time is you, but I hope I can win this award for the third consecutive time, especially after defeating Kaká and Messi."

"Messi has challenged me, Kaka, I challenge you too"

There was an uproar at the scene. Ronaldinho's sudden move immediately made everyone feel incredible, especially the reporters. Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they immediately reacted and immediately moved the camera to Kaká and Messi. body.

Kaka still smiled calmly, while Messi lowered his head shyly, looking very shy. This is very different from him who is omnipotent on the court.

I believe that the publicity staff of the organizing committee watching backstage at this moment must be regretting it, because their careful planning was not as good as Xiao Luo's sudden and daring move.

However, although such a challenge is full of gimmicks, interesting and eye-catching, without the years of friendship between Ronaldinho, Messi and Kaka, I am afraid no one would dare to challenge rashly.

Following suit, FIFA announced the best lineup for 2008.

Casillas, the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid and the captain of the Spanish national team, was elected as the best goalkeeper. The defense line from left to right is Lahm, Puyol, Terry and Ramos; the four midfielders are Casillas. Card, Gerrard, Xavi and Ribery, the forwards are Ronaldinho and Messi.

Judging from this list, the number of Red Rebels is much smaller than before, with only four players selected. However, if you look closely, including Lahm and Franck Ribery, two stars trained by the Red Rebels, the Red Rebels Once again occupying half of the country.

Many people say that every time the selection results come out, everyone will once again feel the star-making ability of the Red Rebels and the almost terrifying strength of this team, making everyone more in awe of this team. A legendary team.

As for Ronaldinho's election, all media gave unanimous evaluations, and he deserved it.

However, many media and professionals have pointed out that Ronaldinho is not without flaws.

"Purely from a technical perspective, there is still a certain gap between Ronaldinho and Kaká and Beckham back then. He still has a lot of room for improvement. He should continue to maintain a rational and progressive attitude."

During the interview, Mourinho first congratulated Ronaldinho for winning the award, but also rationally put forward his own analysis.

"In the past two seasons, Cristiano has indeed been almost perfect, but we should not fail to see that Ronaldinho's perfection is based on the entire strong platform and system of our Red Rebels. This is different from the original There is still a certain gap between Beckham and now Kaka."

"Beckham at his peak could control the direction of a game. In many moments, his performance went beyond the scope of tactics and far exceeded my requirements for him; the same goes for Kaká today. Although he did not score a goal , but his understanding of the game, his support for his teammates, and his insight into the game are all out of the tactics themselves."

"At this point, Cristiano still needs to improve himself, but he has his own strengths, that is, he is more comprehensive, more comprehensive than Beckham and Kaká, and he is very stable and rarely suffers serious injuries. This allows him to always support the team throughout the season, and at this point, he is very good."

"My requirements for Cristiano are very simple. I hope he can further strengthen some aspects of his skills and at the same time become more peaceful. This will be of great help to his performance in the game. , he is a very smart, very good at learning person, he will understand what I mean."

Other Red Rebel players were full of praise for Ronaldinho's award. Kaka and Messi also believed that Ronaldinho deserved the award. As for Ronaldinho's challenge, Kaka and Messi They all said they would not respond.

"This is a matter in our locker room. I don't want the outside world to put too much pressure on us." Kaka's answer seemed very official.

But this is also the best result. After all, once all three players participate in the competition, it will be easy for outside fans to focus on them and ignore the team itself, which will bring invisible consequences to them and the team. pressure.

Ronaldinho obviously realized this later. When answering questions about the challenge, he said he would resolve it in the locker room and would not disclose it to the outside world.

But obviously, none of them deny the existence of competition

…………

…………

Compared with the lively FIFA night, the European winter transfer market in 2009 seemed very deserted.

There is a saying that describes it well: I only hear the sound of the stairs, but no one comes down.

For big-name stars, there is more hype from the outside world, but there are very few substantive operations. The most typical ones are Manchester City and Chelsea's interest in Ronaldinho, and Real Madrid's interest in Aguero.

Teams in England, Serie A and La Liga generally adopt a standstill strategy, and many mid- and lower-tier teams recruit on loan. After all, with the shadow of the financial crisis hanging over the world, no one can be hurt. rise.

The most anticipated player in the winter transfers this season, apart from the Red Rebel players, is undoubtedly Huntelaar. This new Ajax new Ruud van Nistelrooy is being competed by almost half of Europe, especially Real Madrid, which has been coveted by strikers, is even more attracted to him, and the deal was finally completed for 2.7 million euros.

This transaction has also become the king of the winter transfer market.

After Rijkaard took over, Chelsea was determined to adjust the lineup. Emerson's departure made Rijkaard want to get a suitable midfielder. Lars Diarra performed well and will be replaced. However, Rijkaard still successfully persuaded Abramovich to introduce Philippe Melo from West Ham United for 25 million euros.

The Brazilian defensive midfielder has successfully proved his strength during his time at West Ham United, and he can adapt well to the English game. This is why Rijkaard values ​​him.

And if the actions of Real Madrid and Chelsea are understandable, then the third-ranked transfer is a bit surprising, because the club that finally completed the transaction is Everton, which has always been known for its thrift. .

The Toffees have performed very well in the past few seasons. Although they cannot compete with strong teams such as the Red Rebels, Manchester United, and Droyden for the championship, they can basically compete for Champions League qualification and firmly maintain the UEFA Cup. Qualification has made Everton a model for the management of mid-table teams in the UK.

When many professionals comment on Everton, they have to mention Moyes' strategy. There are almost no big-name stars in the team. There are some important players who are very practical but not well-known. The typical example is Droysdon. A smaller version of England's international football player.

But recently, Moyes has been suffering from forward pain. For this reason, he finally made the decision to introduce the outstanding English striker Defoe from Portsmouth. For this reason, the Toffees paid Portsmouth 1.64 million euros. This transfer has also become the second most expensive transfer record in Everton's history, second only to their introduction of defensive midfielder Fellaini from the Red Rebels.

When they introduced Fellaini, many people were still questioning Moyes' vision, thinking that he was too superstitious about the production of the Red Rebels. But now half a season has passed, and Fellaini has become Everton's centerpiece. The core of the field has helped the team firmly control the league rankings in the top 7, which has also caused the Belgian international's value to skyrocket.

Now, Moyes has introduced Defoe, a forward who has proven his strength in England and has scored 8 league goals for Portsmouth. Moyes believes that his joining can strengthen Everton's team. Frontcourt offensive ability.

After completing two heavyweight transfers in one season, Everton seems a little breathless, but it doesn't matter. It is said that they are already negotiating acquisitions with the outside world.

It is not surprising for foreign consortiums to inject capital into the UK. After all, this kind of investment method suits everyone's needs, and now that the UK pays more and more attention to independent management, the entry of foreign capital only provides more opportunities for the club. Just the transfer fee.

For example, Manchester City and Roman Abramovich all use money to buy stars for Chelsea to increase their own influence and increase the market value of the club. However, like Aston Villa, they are unwilling to invest heavily, so they choose to be rational. Business, this is not a bad idea.

There are currently four consortiums negotiating to purchase Everton, the biggest of which is the Indian tycoon Anil Ambani, who is ranked 6th on the Forbes list and has a total net worth of US$42 billion. Currently, He is currently negotiating with two clubs, Newcastle and Everton, and he hopes to get one of them.

Once he enters Ying, he will become the third richest man among Ying bosses, second only to Xiao Yu and the Abu Dhabi consortium, while Abu will drop from the original third to fourth.

Some people say that once this acquisition is completed, Britain will be further foreign-invested. However, it should also be looked at conversely. In today's downturn, investors are still interested in Britain, which proves that Britain still has great potential. of.

Although it was acquired, the overall development of the club and the league is still moving in a good direction. After all, the English League and the English Football Association have formulated even harsh review regulations for these, the purpose is to ensure that the English Football Association Don't go astray.

The day after Everton announced the signing of Defoe, the Red Rebels regrouped to prepare for the second half of the league.
