Red Rebels

8 New Bailey

"If you want to restrain the Red Rebels, you must find ways to control their field. Whoever wins the field will win the world. Whoever can restrain the Red Rebels' field will be able to control the game."

This is what Ferguson emphasized before arranging tactics before the game, and it is also the method he has always used to deal with the Red Rebels.

Tactics will change, formations will change, but the core philosophy will not.

No matter what lineup Ferguson arranges or what tactics he deploys, he will never deviate from this foundation, which is to restrain the Red Rebels on the field and do everything possible to seize control of the field. Even if he cannot seize it, he must try his best to destroy it. Disrupt the rhythm of the Red Rebels.

"Many people can't control the Red Rebels on the field. That's because they always don't understand. It's obviously just two midfielders, but why do the Red Rebels seem to have a lot of people on the field?"

"Kaka's retreat, Curtis' forward, the Red Rebels' field is actually not just one, nor just four. Their players are like running water. If there is a loophole over there, just go over there. flow, so Alves can start cutting inside on the court, and Ronaldinho can also drop back to participate in defense and support."

"If you want to limit the Red Rebels' field, you can't simply arrange tasks according to traditional tactics, because the players of the Red Rebels are very mobile, and only by building a mobile wall can they resist their attacks."

Standing in front of the home team's coaching bench at Old Trafford, Ferguson looked at the court with a smile.

He has never been an academic head coach, and even UEFA officials once asked him to take a tactical training course, saying that they wanted him to learn the most advanced tactical concepts, but Ferguson dismissed it. .

Tactics are never a set of rules and regulations. There are only flashes of insight and an understanding of the tactics themselves accumulated through experience.

Ferguson was undoubtedly an excellent tactician in the past, but now he relies more on his own understanding of tactics to control the game. He does not need to learn other people's strengths at all, he only needs what belongs to him.

So far in this game, his team has executed the tactics well. After a fierce attack after the opening, the Red Rebels were caught off guard. After all, many young players appeared in the lineup, and then they began to defend steadily and keep the score.

Someone once said that the three head coaches who can restrain the Red Rebels are Ferguson of Manchester United, Pellegrini of Droyden, and Louis van Gaal of Manchester City, and no one else can.

now,

Ferguson confirmed this again

Turning his head and looking at Mourinho, who was frowning with a smile, Ferguson was secretly proud, "Can you break through the mobile cage I specially set up for your team?"

Mourinho naturally didn't know what Ferguson was thinking, but he saw Ferguson's provocative eyes, and he was angry. He knew that Ferguson had worked hard for this game, and even Manchester United gave up the English League. , just to be able to defeat the Red Rebels.

If he gets his wish, then Manchester United will be the favorite to win the League Cup. The other two teams in the semi-finals are Aston Villa and Blackburn. In terms of strength alone, it will be difficult for both teams to win. It's Manchester United's rival.

In other words, this is equivalent to an early finals

"What should I do?" Juninho came to Mourinho's side and had no idea in his mind to deal with it.

Mourinho looked at the time. It was already 55 minutes. There was really not much time left for the Red Rebels. At this time, he saw Manchester United's right back, Croatian captain Srna, on the court. The player who became a world-class full-back after joining Manchester United has already received a yellow card in this game.

To gamble or not to gamble?

Mourinho made a quick decision

"Nimal, go warm up."

In the crowded Old Trafford Stadium, Cassel's shouts were even covered up by the shouts of the Red Devils fans in the stands nearby, so that when he saw that Nymar was not moving, he had to run over and pull him directly. Then he pulled the Brazilian out of the bench, then pointed to the grass next to the court and motioned for him to warm up.

Five minutes later, the staff on the sidelines immediately raised a substitution sign, and the PA system of the Old Trafford Stadium also started broadcasting. The Red Rebels replaced the Brazilian teenager Neymar, who had performed averagely in this game. Left back Davide Thornton.

Replacing a full-back with a winger is undoubtedly a signal to strengthen the frontcourt attack.

Nymar came on the field. He was a little nervous, but when he saw Mourinho standing calmly on the sidelines, he felt certain for no reason. Then he bent down, grabbed a handful of grass clippings from the ground, and put it gently. He kissed her on the lips and then ran forward.

Mourinho called Terry over and explained to him the team's latest tactical arrangements.

After Nymar came on the field, the Red Rebels' tactics immediately changed from the original 4 to 5. The original left winger Theo Walcott was pushed to the front line and formed a double forward combination with Drogba. Until Nymar played the left wing, Ozil Er is still the attacking midfielder, Micah Richards is pulled from the original right back to the road, forming a three-back combination with Terry and Vidic.

"The boss just said that after the game started, we attacked the left wing, which is Manchester United's right wing. We must win this game in one go." Drogba called all his teammates in the frontcourt over and explained loudly. Competition tasks.

"Nimmar, don't be too nervous. Make full use of your technical and speed advantages. We will try our best to create one-on-one opportunities for you and Srna on the wing and kill him. Do you understand?"

Nymar stared at Drogba with his eyes wide open, as if to gain some confidence from Drogba, while the latter had a determined look on his face, as if the Red Rebels had already won this game. .

"He has received a yellow card. You try to use your skills to get rid of him. Theo and Mesut will help you."

Neymar looked at Walcott and Ozil again, and the latter two kept nodding towards him. The yellow card Srna received was caused by a foul while defending Walcott. The speed of the England winger The skills and technology are very troublesome, but now the physical fitness is a bit declining.

Mourinho's purpose is very clear. He will use Neymar as a new force to directly attack Manchester United's right wing.

…………

…………

After the game restarted, Manchester United took a throw-in and organized a counterattack. However, as soon as the ball passed half-time, it was immediately attacked by the Red Rebels and was quickly intercepted by the Red Rebels players.

Michael Johnson picked up the ball and immediately made a long diagonal pass directly behind Srna.

Nimar's speed is very fast. Although he is not as good as Walcott, a player with double O's in game speed and explosive power, his speed and explosive power have both reached 9. His skills are very delicate. When Michael Johnson passes the ball, In an instant, he started chasing the ball.

Srna is not to be outdone. Although he is not as fast as Nymar, he is experienced and knows how to use his body and various small movements to contain Nymar, preventing the Brazilian from completely sprinting, and then overtaking him. Before, he dropped to the ground and shoveled the ball out of bounds, creating a foul ball for the Red Rebels.

Srna was cheered and applauded by the Red Devils fans in the Old Trafford stands after disrupting a Red Rebels attack

Neymar was breathing heavily. In a competition with a world-class full-back like Srna, he was under great pressure. He felt that every move he made seemed to be understood by Srna, and he was affected everywhere. Without checks and balances, we can't let go.

That feeling made him uncomfortable, and his physical energy was exhausted quickly. After just sprinting for a while, he began to breathe heavily.

The ball came out quickly. After several consecutive passes, it came to the left again. It was another one-on-one opportunity between Nymar and Srna. The Brazilian chose a fake move, but Srna remained unmoved. , and then made a steal, cleanly.

I was very upset when I lost Nirmal again.

In just a few minutes after he came on the field, he faced Srna twice in a row, but he ended in a disastrous defeat without exception.

The Red Devils fans in the stands booed Neymar loudly. They were obviously very disappointed with this talented star who was named the new Pele, and even added insult to injury. This is also the consistent attitude of Red Devils fans towards Red Rebel players. .

Minutes later, Nymar got the ball again, but this time he passed the ball as soon as he saw Srna coming forward, but he was too hasty and the ball was quickly intercepted by Manchester United's Fletcher, destroying the ball. A wave of attacks by the Red Rebels.

This happened several times after that, and it seemed that Nimmar lost the courage to face Srna directly after several contacts.

"Coward...coward from Brazil, you should go home and drink milk instead of coming to the stadium to face our brave Dario. He is an invincible iron gate. You will definitely lose."

The Red Devils fans in the stands improvised a song, put on a familiar melody, and sang it directly, hoping to use this to undermine Nymar's self-confidence.

Mourinho had a cold face on the sidelines. He saw Nymar's poor performance after coming on the field.

"He seems to have really lost his confidence," Cassel worried.

Nimal's previous performance was indeed amazing, but after all he was young and inexperienced, but Srna was very experienced, fierce in defense, and made many small moves. Nimal was a little exhausted to deal with it, and he was also suffering from physical disadvantages.

Just think about it, when Walcott was on the left wing just now, he couldn't take advantage of Srna. It can be imagined that Nymar's situation is not a surprise.

"If he only has this little skill, then we all think highly of him," Mourinho replied calmly.

If you want to become the new Pele, you must be able to withstand the pressure and be able to cope with the defense of Srna and others. Otherwise, you will only play a few tricks in training and within the team but not on the stage. That is definitely not worthy of this position. title.

Away: o Losing to Manchester United is not the end of the world for the Red Rebels. Mourinho's return to home court is not without a way to make a comeback. The only regret is that the Red Rebels' unbeaten record will end here.

But does Nimmar really dare not face Srna again?

…………

…………

In the 70th minute, after several avoidances, the Red Rebels seemed to have consciously moved the ball to the road and the right, because they felt that when the ball hit Nimal on the left, it was like hitting a wall, and soon it came back again. came back.

But when blocked on the road and right, the ball had to be moved to the left.

This time, Nimmar cleverly stopped the ball, turned around, and faced Srna directly.

Almost at the moment Srna came up, Nimmar pretended to move the ball to the right and took a feint, deceiving Srna to shift his focus to the right, but he randomly reversed the ball with the inside of his foot. Pulled back to the other side and passed Srna directly.

The entire passing movement is very coherent and fast, which is breathtaking. It is Ronaldinho's signature passing movement, the cow's tail.

After Srna was shaken away, he could no longer catch up with Neymar. The latter went down to the baseline and directly passed the ball into the penalty area. Drogba used his body to firmly control Mexes at the back point and headed the ball back to the front. At that point, Walcott appeared ghostly where he should be, and poked the ball into the goal:

"It's so beautiful, it's wonderful. Neymar, a 7-year-old Brazilian youngster, performed Ronaldinho's signature move of the cow tail on the court. He broke through Srna and passed the ball, which was headed by Drogba. Ferry, assisted Walcott and scored the goal that equalized the score."

After the goal, Walcott ran towards Nimmar immediately, and the Red Rebel players also rushed to run towards Nimmar.

The same technical moves are commonly used by Nimmar in the youth team and in training, but not in games. But now he suddenly used them, and the effect was surprisingly good.

"This kid is so cunning," Srna said indignantly as he looked at Nimal who was so happy, as if he scored the ball himself.

In the previous contacts, Nimmar deliberately pretended to be afraid of Sirna, relaxed Sirna's vigilance, and then suddenly gave Sirna a surprise attack, catching him off guard.

There is no doubt that Srna must bear some responsibility for conceding the ball. He was too careless and was deceived out of his position. Therefore, he hated Neymar even more in his heart and wished he could just give the Brazilian to him. Eaten alive.

The referee signaled for the game to continue and the Manchester United players circled the kick-off.

The Red Rebels, who had regained the score, used their momentum to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's defense, especially the left wing occupied by Nymar, which became the focus of the attack.

This time Neymar no longer played tricks on Srna, but frequently used his skills and speed every time, causing a lot of trouble for Srna. In addition, Walcott and Ozil were both on the left. , the three of them cooperated skillfully in the frontcourt, which made Srna a little exhausted.

Ferguson guessed Mourinho's intention, but he had no better choice, because Srna was already his most trustworthy right back. If it were replaced by O'Shea or Wes Brown, it is estimated that Worse than Srna.

In the 79th minute, after being penetrated several times by Nimal, Srna seemed to get angry.

Nymar took the ball and faced Srna directly. This time he chose the dazzling cycling action. He was already familiar with these actions, and he used a series of fake moves at his fingertips to deceive Srna into losing his center of gravity again, thinking that he was He wanted to break through to the outside, but in fact he chose to cut inside.

Srna was unwilling to be deceived. He turned around and chased after him. When he saw Nymar being blocked by Fletcher at the edge of the penalty area, he immediately rushed over, saw an opportunity, and put down his foot to shovel.

Nymar fell to the ground and the referee's whistle sounded

Behind the back tackle foul

The referee on duty ran up without hesitation and waved to Srna.

At this time, Ferdinand had realized that the situation was not good. As the captain of the team, he immediately rushed forward and argued with the referee. However, the referee obviously insisted on his decision and gave Srna a yellow card. .

As a result, Srna changed from two yellows to one red and was sent off directly.

The entire Old Trafford stadium immediately burst into overwhelming boos. They obviously believed that the referee was favoring the Red Rebels and even sent off the main defender at a critical moment, while also giving the Red Rebels a penalty. A direct free kick opportunity from a very good position.

Michael Johnson stood near the penalty spot. He accepted the support and encouragement from his teammates, and then slowly took a few steps back.

Manchester United's wall quickly lined up, but it seemed that they were deeply wary of Michael Johnson's free kick skills. This is the most outstanding player in world football after Juninho Jr. and David Beckham. A free kick penalty taker, many fans even think that his free kick skills are better than those of Pirlo and Del Piero.

When the referee blew the whistle, Michael Johnson took a few steps and kicked the ball out. It was a weird curve ball. There was no intense rotation, but the direction of the ball was unusually erratic.

Although Adler wanted to stop it, he made a mistake in judgment and could only watch the ball go in as it hit the goal post. This was an absolute blind spot:

The Red Rebels finally reversed the score

The moment Michael Johnson scored, the entire Red Rebels Stadium was filled with boos and cheers. The boos came from the Red Devils fans, and the cheers came from the Red Rebels fans.

With the Red Devils missing one player, the Red Rebels achieved a reversal, which undoubtedly sealed the victory of this game. No matter how strong Ferguson was, he could not change the game.

There are only o minutes left

Nymar, the new Pele, came out of nowhere. After coming on as a substitute in this game, he showed amazing skills and awareness. He became Mourinho's winner and loser in this game and completely dominated it. The final direction of the game.

Although he did not score a goal, he had a great contribution to both goals. He can even be said to be the biggest contributor to the Red Rebels' victory in this game.

Ferguson looked helpless. He already knew the result of the game when Srna put the tackle behind him. Regardless of whether Michael Johnson's free kick was scored or not, the Red Rebels could take away a victory.

Sometimes, football matches can be unpredictable.
