Red Rebels

828 The Secret of the Strongest

"Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left and forced a break through Srna. He cut inside to the edge of the penalty area and struck the ball across the field. Kaka took the ball at the edge of the penalty area and made an emergency stop. He deceived Ferdinand with a realistic fake move and volleyed... …”

In the thunderous roar of the scene, the shouts of the on-site commentators were not very obvious. Even the commentary coming from the TV was covered up a lot by the movements of the fans, but it was difficult to cover up the on-site commentators. And the excitement in the hearts of the fans at the scene.

"Unfortunately, Adler reacted quickly, moved ahead, caught the ball, and immediately pinned it down."

"Only six minutes after the opening, the Red Rebels launched a fierce offensive. Manchester United's defense was in danger in the face of the Red Rebels' powerful offensive, but the Red Devils players appeared to be very tenacious. Even Rooney and Robinney Austria and others all retreated to the front of the penalty area and actively participated in the defense."

If Xiao Yu's memories from his previous life are used for comparison, Robinho's current strength is comparable to Ronaldinho's at the peak of his previous life. However, Robinho is physically stronger and has more concise and practical skills, not as good as Ronaldinho. As fancy as Erdinho.

Quaresma is following the method used by Ferguson in his previous life to train Ronaldinho. His current strength is comparable to that of Xiao Yu's previous life Ronaldinho in 2010, while Rooney is steadily improving and has been steadily improving. Ge has now firmly entered the ranks of the world's top midfielders. He even put Scholes on the bench.

Enhanced versions of Rooney, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Ronaldinho. If Xiao Yu's memory from his previous life is used, Manchester United's current four offensive combinations are like this. This should have been a very formidable and powerful combination. offensive combination.

In fact, Manchester United's combination is invincible and invincible in the world, but they encountered another more powerful Red Rebels at an untimely time.

Kaká is even better than in his previous life, and Aguero, Ronaldinho and Messi are also better than Xiao Yu at the same time in his previous life. These four players have played together for many years and have a tacit understanding with each other, making the Red Rebels' The magic quartet in the frontcourt almost produced amazing chemistry.

Coupled with the midfield and defense, the Red Rebels' tactics are completely natural, integrating offense and defense. Although Manchester United has a strong offense, they can cleanly defeat any team in the world, and even won Van Gaal's game. Manchester City, but they were ultimately unable to defeat the Red Rebels.

According to the views of many football experts, with this Manchester United lineup, if they play together for another three or four years, they may be able to compete with the Red Rebels. But unfortunately, after three or four years, Manchester United's lineup They will face metabolism again, especially center back Ferdinand and right back Srna. By then, the personnel will inevitably change again.

On the other hand, the Red Rebels

In another three or four years, this team will definitely be even stronger than it is now.

"Since the opening, the Red Rebels have been proactive in looking for opportunities, while Manchester United has been a little conservative in seeking stability. However, the pace of the game on both sides is very fast, the players are running very actively, and the scene is smooth and beautiful."

The tactics of the Red Rebels and Manchester United have one thing in common, and that is running without the ball. Both teams are the best in running without the ball. This means that no matter how the Red Devils derby is played, the scene will not be ugly. .

…………

…………

Alves is half-bent like a leopard, seemingly careless, but in fact his attention has always been focused on Diego. He is a very important ball distributor in Manchester United's midfield.

As a Brazilian, Alves knows Diego's strength better than anyone. His ability to distribute the ball and assist in that kind of rapid breakthrough is amazing, and he also has a strong scoring ability, which is why he He was dubbed the new Kaka, but in fact, his playing style is more like Scholes.

So when Robinho started to start, Fabio immediately realized the danger and immediately leaned over. When Diego's ball came over, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward, rushing ahead of Quan who was about to stop the ball with his feet. Before Reisma, the header cleared the ball out of the sideline, forming a foul ball for Manchester United.

The Red Rebels fans at the scene immediately responded with warm applause to Alves' defense.

The inbounds ball was quickly intercepted by Michael Johnson who retreated to defend. He immediately launched a counterattack at the front of the penalty area, but in the end he still failed to score.

…

"If one day I told you that I would develop the team's tactics around you, would you believe it?"

On a certain day in the past, Mourinho suddenly retained Alves after the tactical preparation meeting. This player once shined in the UEFA Cup and was recalled to the Red Rebels to play for the team. After leaving Real Madrid, the Brazilian star took on the offensive and defensive duties on the right side of the Red Rebels, but his performance has never been able to satisfy those who were optimistic about him.

He is not Maicon, because he and Maicon are two different types of full-backs

"The full-back... can also become the core of the field?" Alves was a little surprised, and his jaw almost tilted in fear.

"Why not?" Mourinho asked with a smile, "The so-called tactical core is actually often the person who can bring changes to the team and help the team change the situation on the field when there is a stalemate on the field. Since That’s right, the full-back can do it too, but it’s more risky but more secretive.”

After speaking, Mourinho ignored Alves' dumbfounded expression and introduced his thoughts with a smile.

"There has always been a little-known theory in the football world, or it should be said to be a consensus, that in a team, the right back is always the weakest link in the lineup."

Alves was shocked after hearing this, "Why do you say that?"

"There is a reason for this," Mourinho explained with a smile. "Generally speaking, if the right back has excellent defensive ability and his height is not bad, he may be moved to the central defender, and if he If his dribbling and speed are good, he will be promoted to the midfield, central midfielder, or winger position."

After hearing this, Alves couldn't help but was speechless, because when he was in Brazil, he first started playing as a winger. However, after coming to Europe, under the advice of the Red Rebel coaching staff, his position gradually changed. He retreated and eventually played right back, but this was a conscious cultivation.

If there had not been a subconscious suggestion from the Red Rebels coaching staff, it is really possible that he would have played as a winger or another position in the midfield for the rest of his life, without considering the defensive position of full-back.

There is an iron law in football that offensive players are always more popular than defensive players.

"Left backs are indeed a disadvantage, but there are not many left-footed generals. When you finally find one, you often double up on training. Therefore, although left backs are scarce, in fact, in any strong team, left backs are generally not too weak, but On the other hand, the right-back always becomes the Achilles' heel because the right foot will be overrun."

"You can go back further. In the past 20 years, all those powerful teams have often had a world-class right back, and this right back is at least capable of both offense and defense, but more often than not he has a world-class right back. The offense is strong and the defense is weak, because the performance of this team is largely due to his contribution on the offensive end."

Alves never thought that the right back would have such an important and decisive position in Mourinho's tactical map. Does this mean that Mourinho really wants to focus on him? The team's tactics?

"I am a conservative myself, so I know very well that current football tactics are more and more inclined to occupy and oppress space, so how to open up space and how to get rid of oppression is very important, and the full-back is The ideal candidate because they're probably even the most spaced position of any player on the floor."

"The left and right full-backs are equally important in terms of tactics, but compared with the left-back, it is more difficult to find an excellent right-back, especially a full-back who is good at attacking forward, but at the same time can retreat to defend."

Alves was really stimulated by Mourinho. He simply didn't think about anything and listened attentively.

"The role of the full-back should not only be forward, passing, crossing, etc., but should include more tactical changes, such as cutting inside, frontcourt cooperation, etc., which can make the full-back play a greater role. The tactical uses are more complex and more difficult to defend.”

"Isn't this equivalent to using the full-back as a winger?" Alves asked in surprise.

Mourinho nodded, "Yes, but not every time, but the timing is important. As long as the timing is right, the full-back moves forward to serve as a winger, which can not only add one more person in the frontcourt attack, but also be unexpected. It can increase the variety of offensive methods in the frontcourt and greatly enrich the team's offensive tactics."

"Evra is a frontcourt player, and you are also a frontcourt player. Players with this kind of resume often know better than pure defenders how to operate the ball once it reaches the midfield, so you all achieve this The best candidate for tactics, especially you, Daniel, I even think you are more suitable than Maicon."

Since then, Alves has unswervingly followed the path laid out for him by Mourinho, and his performance has really improved by leaps and bounds. Gradually, he has shown his strongest strength. , and then he became the leader of the right wing of the Red Rebels. He made the Red Rebels fans forget about Maicon, and even pushed Maicon to the bench in the competition for the Brazilian national team.

And he also knew that several full-backs in the Red Rebels, Davide Thornton and the brothers Fabio and Rafael, were all midfielders. This seemed to be the way the Red Rebels trained full-backs. In the model, Micah Richards is a defender, but he once had experience in the midfield and frontcourt, and after the team recalled him, they immediately sculpted his offensive capabilities in the midfield and frontcourt.

Now that Micah Richards has matured, Alves feels the challenge. He is even more clearly aware that simply following Mourinho's previous arrangements, he will be impacted by Micah Richards. , and may even lose his main position. After all, the Englishman is a local youth training, and his physical fitness is stronger and his impact is better.

So Alves began to play according to his understanding of the right back over the years. He began to understand a truth, that is, how to minimize the tactical risks caused by the forward penetration of the full back, that is, to reduce the number of forward penetrations. frequency.

But in this case, does it mean that the offense has to be sacrificed?

No, never, because Alves knows very well that a full-back who loses his offensive ability cannot have a foothold in the Red Rebels' tactical system. If he loses his offensive ability, he will be defeated by Micah Richard in one fell swoop. Hereby eliminated.

Therefore, while reducing the number of forward penetrations, he improved the offensive quality brought by forward penetrations.

The fewer the frequency, the more secretive the forward assists are; and the higher the quality, the greater the tactical contribution to the team.

In many cases, it seems that Alves is not very actively involved in the offense, but in fact, judging from the data, his performance has not declined at all, and has even steadily improved.

There is no doubt that in the 2009/10 season, as the Red Rebels fully matured, the 27-year-old Alves also began to enter the golden period of his career and entered the peak; while the 21-year-old Micah Richards and the 19-year-old Micah Richards The 20-year-old Raphael and others are just getting started, and they still have a long way to go.

…

I don't know why, this scene suddenly came to Alves' mind, and then he looked at the head coach's bench in the distance. Mourinho was standing on the sidelines as always, looking very calm, but Alves knew, At this time, he must be anxious, anxious about how to adjust and how to score Manchester United's goal.

In a game like this, the team that scores first always has the advantage.

It is also in such a game that the confrontation between the full-back and the winger is always very exciting and exciting.

In this game, Robinho did not do much under the guard of his fellow Brazilians. His dazzling skills were useless in front of Alves, and his proud speed could not overwhelm Alves.

This is normal, and it can even be said that this is Alves' game routine, to first suppress the opponent's opposing offensive players.

According to common sense, if the opposing offensive player is suppressed, what will the coach do?

Of course, let the players behind step forward to help, and behind Robinho is Taivo. This player is strong, has good offensive ability, and is fast, but he has one shortcoming, that is, he rushes forward and lacks a sense of position.

When Ferguson saw that Robinho was suppressed by Alves in the frontcourt and could not open up the situation after several counterattacks, he signaled Taivo behind him to move forward appropriately to help, hoping to form a formation on the wing. Two versus one advantage.

Mourinho had also anticipated Ferguson's adjustment and immediately asked De Rossi to come closer to help defend on the right. At the same time, he also asked Messi to harass Taivo when necessary. With this adjustment, Manchester United's offense once again fell into a trap. Dilemma.

"Both teams seemed inclined to score. The Red Rebels took the initiative to press forward, and Manchester United defended and counterattacked. For a while, no one could find a way to score the opponent's goal first, and the scene was temporarily deadlocked."

Even the on-site commentators could understand the scene, let alone the coaches of both sides on the sidelines, but neither Ferguson nor Mourinho made adjustments. They were obviously hesitating and waiting for opportunities.

Manchester United organized another counterattack. Although in the previous counterattacks, Diego chose Quaresma on the right, the Portuguese met Fabio and could not take advantage at all. This is indeed a bit surprising. Accident.

The defense of the Red Rebels relies more on the compactness of the three lines and regional defensive positions. Although Fabio is not as good as Evra in terms of personal ability, he executes the tactics diligently and does not dare to be careless at all. He failed to express himself on the offensive end, but he also did not make mistakes on defense.

Seeing that the situation could not be opened up on the right, Diego once again chose the left. He and Robinho seemed to have a clear understanding of each other. They had the same idea and Robinho appeared.

The ball came to Robinho's feet, but he was stuck in Alves' position. He tried to get rid of it several times, but failed to break free and was still controlled by Alves within a safe range.

After several attempts without success, Robinho chose to knock back, and Taivo behind him pressed up.

After Taiwo joined Manchester United, although his performance improved a lot, he was not satisfied at all, especially when he encountered weak teams. His impact on the left was a weapon for Manchester United to open up the situation. Once they encountered those weak teams, Each one is just like chopping vegetables.

But in this game, Ferguson asked Taiwo to hold on to the backcourt and give up the offense.

After the opening, Taiwo was still able to comply with Ferguson's tactical requirements, but half an hour passed and no one scored. Even Ferguson adjusted his tactics and signaled Taivo to advance appropriately to support Robinho. How could his unrestrained ambition be suppressed at this time?

As soon as he got the ball, Taivo immediately pressed forward. Messi followed a few steps. When he saw De Rossi approaching, he stopped chasing.

De Rossi began to press Taiwo in the center circle. The Nigerian wanted to use his speed to overwhelm De Rossi, but De Rossi cleverly used his position to restrict him, and at the same time, he forced him to stop him. Directly facing the penalty area and goal.

Taiwo is also famous for his long-range shots in the Premier League. He relies on two methods of scoring goals, one is long-range shots and the other is free kicks.

Being entangled by De Rossi, Taiwo had no choice but to pass the ball. When Michael Johnson and others returned to their positions, it was unrealistic to pass to the center, so Taiwo chose to pass to the side. Road, ready for Robinho.

But just when Robinho was about to catch the ball, a figure suddenly jumped out, intercepted the ball in advance, and then accelerated to catch up again.

"Oh my God, it's Alves. Alves intercepted the ball successfully and drove the ball forward wildly on the right."

Fletcher came to guard him near the center circle, but Alves and Kaká, who came over to support him, made a beautiful wall-to-wall cooperation, but they had already entered the Manchester United half, and Fletcher couldn't even catch him. Live him.

Taking advantage of this counterattack, Alves broke into Manchester United's penalty area. At this time, Ronaldinho, Aguero and Messi of the Red Rebels all inserted into Manchester United's penalty area like arrows.

Taivo and Fletcher were chasing behind them, and Alves, who was dribbling the ball, was gradually getting closer to them. But just when they were about to catch up, Alves suddenly kicked off the right corner of the penalty area and kicked out. A cross.

The football flew out from his feet and drew a beautiful arc in mid-air. It also attracted the attention of countless fans watching the live broadcast around the world. Everyone's hearts were raised to their throats at this moment.
