Red Rebels

813 The strongest person born in the 1990s

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Mourinho rushed out of the visiting team's coaching bench immediately.

The Portuguese madman is not slow at all. Some people even suspect that if he takes off his suit and puts on training clothes, his speed can match Drogba's level and surpass many professional players.

He ran all the way through the Old Trafford Stadium, attracting the attention of everyone present with his excitement. Even the live broadcast camera on the sidelines was always focused on his back, and then he ran directly to Old Trafford. In the west stand of the stadium, he stood quietly under the stand, raising his right hand high and making a fist. He was extremely confident and full of the pride of a winner.

Some people say that the Old Trafford Stadium has been so filled with business and interests that the board of directors has no space to even arrange a scoreboard at this stadium. Only when facing the Red Rebels, Manchester City, Liverpool and a few other This team can more or less regain some of the fanatical atmosphere of football here.

But there is no scoreboard, and it is impossible for fans to ignore the score of the game, 0:2.

This is not the League Cup semi-final, this is the Red Devils derby in the second leg of the Premier League

The West Stand is the most devout defender of the Red Devils. The Red Devils in the stands really want to teach Mourinho a lesson, but they have no choice because the team they support lost, and they lost completely.

If there hadn't been Mexes' rescue, if there hadn't been Ferdinand's handball, if there hadn't been Adler's miraculous performance, if there hadn't been Rooney's diligence and hard work in retreating as a central defender, if there hadn't been...

There were a lot of what-ifs, but none of them could hide the poor performance of Red Devils and Manchester United in this game.

The score cannot explain the advantages and disadvantages of the game, and the two goals cannot represent the advantage the Red Rebels gained in this game, nor can they cover up Manchester United's embarrassment, especially if you look at Ferguson's angry face. It's hard to tell how he feels at this moment.

Yes, the Red Rebels are powerful, but in Ferguson's view, they may not be invincible. It's just that Manchester United's players want to defeat their opponents where they are strongest. Is this possible?

If you are more conservative, more patient, and more capable in tactical execution, you may not lose this game.

At least, even if you lose, you won't lose so embarrassingly

Mourinho's excitement is not without reason. His team has achieved 22 consecutive victories and is only 3 games away from the longest winning streak in Europe. He has enough reasons to feel proud and proud of himself this season. The Red Rebels are indeed too powerful.

Aguero was injured, Ismael passed and shot; Essien was injured, and Mikel, who came on as substitute, showed the outstanding strength of Vieira II. His cooperation with Fabregas in the midfield Scheduling makes people see his future in the Red Rebels. He finally has the strength to compete with Essien and De Rossi, the two top midfielders in the world.

There were rumors that he would be abandoned at the beginning of the season, but Mikel chose to stay with the team. He is an attacking midfielder with exquisite skills, a broad view of the overall situation, and an excellent ability to read the game. Regardless of the combination of him and Cesc Fabregas, In terms of coordinating passing and receiving, or sorting out the midfield, he even showed an unforgettable side in defensive interceptions.

Essien's injuries also began to increase. De Rossi could not support the whole season alone. Mikel's rise immediately filled this shortcoming, which made Ferguson have to lament the strength of the Red Rebels.

Even the substitute lineup is strong, that is the real strength

Ferguson looked at Queiroz next to him and at the Manchester United players with their hairy heads on the field. He wanted to rush up and teach them a lesson one by one and scold these bastards, but he chose to remain silent.

"Do you still remember what I told you?" Ferguson asked calmly.

Queiroz wanted to dig a hole and get in, but he didn't dare. He could only nod. He didn't forget.

"This is the effect Mourinho wants. When his mentality is unbalanced, he starts to want to win, but he is afraid of losing. Often this difficult-to-choose mentality is the most fatal."

Ferguson has always regarded Queiroz as his right-hand man. He has said more than once that Queiroz is his ideal successor. But now it seems that although they are both Portuguese, compared with Queiroz and Mourinho, , it’s still too far off.

He once felt tired and bored, and had the idea of ​​​​retiring, but now it seems that if he really hands Manchester United to Queiroz, it will undoubtedly be sending the Portuguese to Mourinho as a clown.

After staring at Queiroz for a while, Ferguson sighed deeply. Should I say he is innocent? Or is it that his qualifications are limited?

"Maybe, Carlos, you are really not suitable for the Premier League, at least you are not suitable for the current Premier League."

After speaking, Ferguson turned around and left, leaving Queiroz alone with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at his back, as if he wanted to see some annotations from his back, but Ferguson did not. Give him such a chance.

In the past, the Premier League was dominated by Manchester United. Wenger and Benitez were both paranoid and focused on the competition on the football field. Queiroz could handle it completely. But now Mourinho has come to the Premier League. The styles of coaches such as Van Gaal and others are also getting richer and richer.

Queiroz is very proud, but his pride is not based on his strength, but on his vision. To put it harshly, he is so ambitious and has high vision but low hand. He does not have the ability to compete with Mourinho and Fan The ability to compete with strong coaches such as Gall.

Ancelotti, who couldn't adapt to the Premier League, left, and Rijkaard came; Benitez was gradually transforming, and he began to change his coaching style, although he still insisted on his own philosophy; Wenger was still there Persistence, but he also works hard to learn new things, not to mention Van Gaal. If Manchester City had not encountered the Red Rebels this season, they would have been able to win the championship in any league.

Under such circumstances, there is no guarantee that Ferguson will gain something if he stays. Doesn't handing Manchester United over to Queiroz mean that Ferguson will destroy the Great Wall? Put all your years of hard work in vain?

Mourinho didn't know Ferguson's regret, nor did he know that Queiroz had the idea of ​​leaving Manchester United for the first time because he couldn't see his future at Manchester United. He only knew that he was very excited and that he loved it most. The only thing is to celebrate your victory on the stage of your mortal enemy.

Three days later, the Red Rebels returned to their home court for the second leg of the League Cup.

Manchester United lost the first round and had to go all-out in the second round. Ferguson put the four frontcourt combinations of Robinho, Diego, Rooney and Quaresma on the field, hoping to give it a try at the Red Rebel Stadium.

Mourinho was not polite either. He knew that Srna was absent and Manchester United's right-side defense was a big hole, so he specially arranged for Ronaldinho to play and focus on Manchester United's right-side. At the same time, he arranged Drogba like this in the middle. A strong center.

Ferguson's team worked very hard and tried every means to take the lead in the away game, but the Red Rebels' defense was also unambiguous, and the Red Rebels' left wing composed of Evra and Ronaldinho frequently made mistakes. The threat made Manchester United's right wing turbulent, and even the offense did not dare to press too hard.

The Red Rebels, who had the advantage in hand, played more patiently, while the Manchester United players became impatient as time went by. Especially when the game entered the second half, Manchester United's anxiety was even more exposed. In the 57th minute of the Rebels, Ronaldinho broke through O'Shea on the left and passed the ball to the front post. Ozil stepped in from the back and scored from close range, 1:0.

This goal completely sentenced Manchester United to death. Ferguson also lost the fighting spirit to reverse the situation. The game was over early, especially when the Red Rebels controlled the game situation.

In the end, in the League Cup semi-finals, the Red Rebels defeated their archrival Manchester United with a total score of 3:1 over two rounds and advanced to the final.

In another League Cup semi-final, Aston Villa defeated Blackburn 0:1 in the first leg away from home. After returning home, they had an incredible goal battle with Blackburn. , the two sides scored a total of 10 goals. In the end, Aston Villa won 6:4 and advanced to the final with a total score of 7:4.

The game was won, but Aston Villa's performance in this game was very criticized, especially Martin O'Neill's on-the-spot command was even more puzzling. With the team's sharp offense, Aston Villa La's defense was in a mess, which is why after the two final teams were announced, the betting companies were all optimistic about the Red Rebels.

Apart from anything else, if O'Neill can't find a way to improve the team's defense in a short period of time, if he encounters the Red Rebels in the League Cup final, there is no hope that Aston Villa can contain the Red Rebels with their shoddy defense. Jun's Magic Quartet.

Of course, some people think that Aston Villa still has hope. At least in the first round of the Premier League, when they visited the Red Rebel Stadium, Aston Villa forced the Red Rebels to 1:0, but it was just a small loss. burden.

However, that game was the first game after the biweekly national team match. The Red Rebels were greatly affected by the national team match, but they were not so lucky in the League Cup final.

After beating Manchester United, the Red Rebels immediately went to an away game to challenge Bolton Wanderers.

Since the next week was a double match, Mourinho once again rotated the lineup, but the Red Rebels finally won the game again with the goals of Messi and Kaká, replacing the injured Aquino. Ismail, who played Luo, contributed 2 assists to the team and became the best player on the spot.

But when it came to the away game against Newcastle in midweek, Mourinho once again put out a large number of substitutes and youth academy players in the starting lineup, hoping to retain strength for Saturday's game against Chelsea.

As the most popular team for promotion to the English Championship this season, Newcastle's attention is focused on the English Championship, and they don't pay much attention to the FA Cup and League Cup. However, Newcastle still arranges for this game. Many main players appeared, such as the Magpies' biggest discovery this season, powerful center Andy Carroll.

After the team was acquired by a chaebol and received ample signing funds, Shearer's training of Newcastle this season has achieved great success, especially Andy Carroll. This powerful center has attracted the attention of many Premier League teams. s concern.

In this game, Mourinho also focused on arranging Rodwell to mark Andy Carroll.

One of these two young players plays as a center forward and the other plays as a central defender. The confrontation between them has become a beautiful scenery in this FA Cup match.

…………

…………

"Andy Carroll is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms. Advantages: good height, header and running ability; disadvantages: slightly thin body, lack of speed and flexibility, and single scoring skills."

Jack Rodwell flashed in his mind the Red Rebel coaching staff's evaluation of Carroll, and in this report, in addition to affirming Carroll's touch, he also focused on his temper. Tracker believes that his irritable mood will be the biggest obstacle to his continued progress.

Standing face to face, Andy Carroll is obviously more flamboyant than Rodwell. His hairstyle, height, and confident sneer all make people feel his personality, while Rodwell is more confident. The indifference on his face.

Andy Carroll did not dare to underestimate the person in front of him, but he was never afraid of challenges, especially using his best method, directly crushing the opponent with his body, this simple and crude method of destroying the opponent. Confidence always brings him a different kind of pleasure, which makes him feel obsessed

"They say you are the best defensive player in England born in the 1990s. I want to see it," Carroll said with a smile.

Rodwell looked at the guy in front of him who was half a head taller than him. His body looked really thin. Rodwell was only 1.88 meters tall, but his weight reached 80 kilograms. From this point on, he was very thin. It's hard to see the physical difference between the two, but although Rodwell is strong, he is not bulky.

"You will see it," Rodwell said calmly.

The ball was passed back and forth in the midfield, and Mikel once again got the chance to start. He quickly intercepted the ball in a lateral interception, and Carroll sprinted in vain.

His speed is not slow, he is young after all, but his explosive power is slightly less

Rodwell just observed his start and sprint, and saw some of his specialties. His height of nearly two meters is there. This is not a decoration. His height is Newcastle's weapon in the British Championship.

To deal with this kind of player, it's best not to confront him head-on.

As soon as this thought flashed through Rodwell's mind, he saw that Newcastle had already smashed the ball over Carroll's head.

This is a typical English tactic, with long passes and lobs, but Shearer improved it, using Carroll as the fulcrum and placing multiple lurkers around to form the second offensive echelon.

But when Carroll judged that the ball was coming and was about to go forward, he suddenly felt that he was being held up by a wall, and then saw that Rodwell had flexibly grabbed in front of him and stood in position. Squeezing his body, then leaping high, shaking his head to meet the ball, and clearing the ball.

"Beautiful" could hear a burst of cheers from the Red Rebels fans in the stands. Although there were not many fans who followed the team to the away game, the momentum was not weak. However, in the hot atmosphere at home at St. James Park, they could only show up occasionally. Show your face.

Soon, the ball went straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt again. Carroll opened his arms this time, trying to block Rodwell from behind. He wanted to stop the ball with his chest, and then made the ball for his teammates, but he couldn't. At some point, there was a light touch from behind. Rodwell jumped from the side and headed the ball to the left again, passing it to Fabio.

The Brazilian immediately launched a surprise attack on the wing and planned an effective attack. Although he failed to score a goal, he shocked Newcastle coach Shearer on the sidelines into a cold sweat.

Newcastle's offense revolved around Carroll. This time they chose to pass the ball on the ground. Kevin Nolan passed a sharp pass directly behind Rodwell. Carroll turned around and chased directly. Go up.

But just when he almost touched the ball, Rodwell suddenly fell to the ground and put down a tackle, intercepting the ball. Although Carroll tripped, the referee indicated that this was not a foul.

At this moment, Carroll became angry, threw his hands at the referee and complained, and looked at Rodwell with an expression full of hatred.

"Compared with world-class forwards such as Drogba, Ismail, Eto'o, Adebayor, Tevez, Ibrahimovic, you are still far behind, even if you are with our Reds You are not as good as Luka Kubi, the youth training youngster of the Rebels, at least he is not as bulky or slow as you."

Carol felt humiliated and completely enraged.

He had no idea that Rodwell was telling the truth.

Growing up in the Red Rebels, he stood out in the fierce competition since he was a child. After entering the first team, he faced off against guys with amazing physical fitness like Drogba, Ismail and even Ronaldinho every day. He represented the first team from the age of 16. It has been more than 2 years since he competed. Over the past two years, he has accumulated rich competition experience.

He has the experience of fighting against strikers like Eto'o; he has the experience of fighting against the most unusual forwards like Zlatan Ibrahimovic; and he has the experience of fighting against beast-level players like Adebayor and Tevez. Rodwell's game experience is among the best among his peers.

And what about Carol?

He only participated in a few British Championship games and performed slightly better. Compared with Rodwell, who was selected for the England national team and performed well, he is really nothing.

One of the most obvious characteristics is that Rodwell is not as noisy as Carroll, but his simple words completely angered Carroll, causing the latter to lose his calmness and reason.

Sometimes, the confrontation on the football field is not just a confrontation of pure football skills, but also a confrontation of psychology and momentum. Rodwell is no stranger to this. He has specially studied this aspect. Knowledge, he knows how to coordinate his psychology and how to use this psychological advantage to attack his opponents.

On the other hand, Carroll's technical movements inevitably began to deform due to psychological imbalance, and Newcastle, which organized the offense with him as the core, was also affected.

But Rodwell is still as indifferent and low-key as ever, and at the same time, he is so calm and confident.
