Red Rebels

573 Number One Battle

The Red Rebels' home game against Chelsea at the top of the table is undoubtedly the highlight of this round of the Premier League, whether from the perspective of sponsors or fans, and is the focus of everyone's attention. With kick-off scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, there was no need for any doubt.

This time period is the most traditional time for watching football in the Premier League, and it is very popular among fans. However, it is a pity for fans far away in Asia, but in order to be able to watch such a wonderful game, I believe there are many fans who are willing to stay up late.

As one of the most modern five-star stadiums in today's football, the Red Rebel Stadium naturally provides many services to fans before the game. For example, before the team warms up, the Red Rebel Stadium will appear on the big screen above the stadium. Clips of TV stations interviewing players. Several players will be interviewed in almost every game.

The key interviewee in this game is German goalkeeper Rene Adler, who played for the Red Rebels for the first time.

Red Rebel fans who had already received the news poured into the stadium. They sat in their seats one by one and looked around. The place turned into a sea of ​​red, with green and gold lines slanting in. Under the eyes of the stadium, it looks shining and particularly eye-catching.

Although the kick-off had not yet started, the entire stadium was still very noisy, but when some interviews and programs started to be played on the big screen, the fans began to be attracted to their attention.

Rene Adler is a very unfamiliar player. Currently, the attitude of Red Rebel fans towards him is roughly divided into three groups. One group is supportive and the other is skeptical. However, the vast majority of people are holding a wait-and-see attitude, but in their hearts They all hope that he can succeed. After all, Cech and Casey Keller are absent, and the Red Rebels need a stable goalkeeper.

Chris Taylor is a self-raised child, but he is a bit unsatisfactory. In two months, his good performance in games was almost the same as his poor performance in games, making people love and hate him.

It is precisely because of this that fans support the club's decision to introduce a goalkeeper. What is more doubtful is, why Rene Adler?

"Why is it you?" On the big screen, a reporter from Red Rebel TV asked what the fans were thinking.

The handsome German guy with blond hair shook his head with a shy smile, "No, I don't know. Maybe the club's scouts think I am very suitable for the club's needs, but I want to say, no matter what, , to be able to play for a great and legendary club like the Red Rebels is like a dream for me!”

"My idol growing up is Schmeichel. I know that in addition to being the goalkeeper coach of the Red Rebels, he is also the goalkeeper most admired by the Red Rebels fans and is part of the club's legendary history. This makes me I am full of expectations for the future and I am eager to be part of the history of the Red Rebels like Schmeichel, which for me is simply great!"

The reporter smiled at Adler's answer. He could feel Adler's sincerity when he said these words.

"So do you think you can succeed in the Red Rebels?"

Adler still shook his head, "No, I really don't know. Who knows what didn't happen? But what I can guarantee is that as long as I wear the Red Rebels jersey one day, as long as I step onto the court, I will I will use all my abilities, all methods, even at all costs, to help the Red Rebels win. This is my promise to all Red Rebels fans!"

After hearing Rene Adler say these words, the Red Rebel fans at the scene became even more vocal, especially when they saw the Red Rebel players coming out of the tunnel to warm up.

After Rene Adler came out, he immediately responded with overwhelming cheers, which shocked the latter.

"Don't be nervous, René, you have to get used to it. When the fans greet you with cheers, it proves that they have accepted you. All you have to do is not to let them down and repay them with your efforts and performance. Let them!" Beckham encouraged Adler with a smile.

In many cases, fans are often the most innocent. If you want to conquer their hearts, you often don’t need to do much. Just an ordinary sentence, a simple action, and a real expression can do the trick. You can easily capture the favor of the fans and get them to support you.

But the process of maintaining the support and love of fans for you is quite difficult.

Adler raised his hands and applauded the fans in the stands. This move was rewarded with even warmer cheers from the fans at the scene. At the same time, he also secretly swore in his heart that he would make good use of it. Performance to repay the fans for their love.

However, when we were in Leverkusen, the Bayer Arena only had a capacity of 30,000, but now when we come to the Red Rebels, there are 85,000 fans in the Red Rebel Stadium. They are sitting in the stands. Coupled with the design principles of the stadium, the momentum they created was as thrilling as a tsunami.

As soon as Adler appeared on the court, he immediately felt as if he was in the ocean. He couldn't help it, and his heart swelled, and he had a desire to vent.

"Don't think too much, Rene, just think that the fans support us, that's enough!" Curtis smiled and comforted the new teammate. The two were about the same age, but they could talk. A few words.

But soon, the momentum of the fans on the court turned into boos. Rene Adler looked back and found that it was the visiting team Chelsea who had entered the stadium. The fans were using all means to threaten and Intimidating the Chelsea players, some fans even stood up from their seats and roared desperately at the Chelsea players.

I have to admire the design of the Red Rebel Stadium. The fans in the stands feel as if they are close to the stadium. The noise created by the fans can affect almost every corner of the stadium.

"It really deserves to be the Devil's Stadium!" Rene Adler secretly admired.

For the away team, this is devil and hell, but for the home team, the fans are their biggest motivation.

Of course, the premise is that you must have the psychological quality to turn pressure into motivation.

After completing the warm-up time, the 11 starting players returned to the locker room one after another. After the winter break, Chelsea's main lineup is very neat. The goalkeeper is Hildebrand, and the defense line from left to right is Al Ashley Cole, Alex, Cannavaro and Bosingwa, the Portuguese switched to Chelsea at the last moment of the summer transfer and performed well in this half season.

The three defensive midfielders are Ballack, Deco and Emerson. This is also Ancelotti's main configuration of the three defensive midfielders. Veron was completely pushed to the bench by Deco. However, Veron has many performances this season. They also performed well in every game. The two attacking midfielders are Ronaldinho and Lampard, and the forward is Shevchenko.

Chelsea's biggest offensive threat comes from the two attacking midfielders. Lampard has a tenacious style and excellent offensive ability in the back row. In addition, he is known as an iron man and has outstanding running ability throughout the field. He is a major offensive player for Chelsea. Sharp weapon.

On the other hand, Ronaldinho seems lazy, does not run as much as Lampard, and is not as active in defense as Lampard, but he is the most threatening attacker in Chelsea's frontcourt. He can always play in the frontcourt. He appears in key positions at critical moments, and his almost magical skills are even more frightening.

Chelsea's frontcourt offensive combination is invincible, each has its own characteristics, but it is blended very orderly by Ancelotti.

If nothing else, let’s talk about Ronaldinho. He seems to be closer to the left, but in fact his position is very erratic. When attacking, he looks like a winger, but in fact he is a false winger. , there are 5 changes in the inward route alone, plus the right and center, the Red Rebels have studied that Ancelotti has developed 9 changes in the offensive route for the Brazilians.

With so many running routes, Ronaldinho is almost as comfortable as a duck in water. In addition, he does not have to participate in defense as much as other teammates, making him a very big threat on the court and difficult to guard against.

Many people said that it was very risky for Chelsea to spend such a large sum of money to introduce Ronaldinho, but the Brazilian used half a season to prove to everyone that he was worthy of this price, because he is Ronaldinho. Erdinho, a unique genius in today's football.

So, how to kill him?

"Our Red Rebels' tactical system emphasizes teamwork, so I will not specifically assign players to mark Ronaldinho, but it does not mean that I ignore his role. On the contrary, I believe that it pays attention to overall defense. The system is the most effective way to restrain Ronaldinho." Mourinho said in an interview before the game.

The starting lineup of the Red Rebels also confirmed Mourinho's ideas. There was no tactical adjustment. The three midfielders originally rumored by the outside world did not appear. Essien was suppressed by De Rossi who was in better condition. On the bench.

Like the Red Rebels, Chelsea's starting lineup has not been adjusted at all. Bosingwa still starts and Ferreira remains on the bench. It can be seen that Ancelotti is also adhering to his football philosophy.

The two teams have faced each other many times in the Premier League in the past few years. It can be said that they are very familiar with each other and do not need to use any tricks at all. If the formation is temporarily changed at this time, it is likely to cause the players to become unfamiliar with each other, causing the team to If you can't perform to your original level, but if you fight like this with real swords and guns, you will be more likely to win.

"I have a feeling that this will be a wonderful game!" Andy Gray laughed during the commentary.

Although Chelsea, the visiting team, got the right to serve, the Red Rebels, who were at home, played more actively in the opening game. The three lines were pressed very high. In addition to compressing the opponent's offensive space, it also strengthened the pressure and attack on Chelsea. intensity.

The magic quartet composed of Drogba, Ronaldinho, Messi and Kaká was very excited from the beginning. Less than 2 minutes into the game, Ronaldinho had a beautiful one-two with Drogba on the left. As soon as they cooperated, after passing Bosingwa, they passed the penalty area low before Cannavaro, but Hildebrand got the ball before Kaka.

Although he failed to seize the opportunity, Kaka still gave a thumbs up to Ronaldinho.

This wave of attacks also completely opened the signal for the Red Rebels to attack wildly.

"It can be seen that after three weeks of rest, the players of the Red Rebels are full of energy and in good condition. Especially the magic quartet headed by Kaká, they hit a climax from the beginning and overwhelmed Chelsea. beat."

"However, Ancelotti is not a fuel-saving lamp. After the introduction of Bosingwa and Alex, the defense seems to be very balanced. Especially the addition of Alex has made Chelsea's fear of high-altitude balls gain a link. , the Brazilian did not hesitate to use the special talent clause to bring him in, and with Emerson and Ballack in the midfield, Chelsea's defense looks very solid!"

Like Allardyce, Ancelotti was visiting the Red Rebels and was not prepared to play against the Red Rebels. After all, this is their home court, so he started on the defensive side and the two full-backs were eliminated. "Pushing forward", the three defensive midfielders Emerson, Ballack and Deco formed a solid protective wall in front of the defense line.

The Red Rebels attacked several times but failed to get a chance in front of Chelsea's goal.

The two sides went back and forth, the rhythm was very fast, but there were not many mistakes. It can be seen that the tactics of both sides paid great attention to technical details. However, Ancelotti did a good job of defending in the penalty area, and the Red Rebels never failed. Find too many opportunities.

"After 10 minutes of play, the Red Rebels have had 4 shots on goal, but only 1 shot on target. Chelsea did not have a shot on goal." Andy Gray calculated the first 10 minutes of the game. statistics.

"This is only temporary. Both sides switch offense and defense very quickly. I believe that flaws will be exposed sooner or later. Even if there are no flaws, Ancelotti and Mourinho will do everything possible to force the other party to create flaws." Martin Samuel Er is satisfied with such a fast-paced game. After all, as a fan, he prefers to see exciting games.

Kaka got the ball once in the middle and was double-teamed by Emerson and Deco. Seeing that there was no chance, he immediately chose to knock back. After Beckham got the ball while running, he pushed it not far away and exchanged the ball. Gave it to De Rossi.

The Italian took a few steps forward with the ball and suddenly passed it diagonally to the sideline.

Messi deftly stopped the ball with his feet and turned around, just in time for Ashley Cole to catch up with him. However, Messi made a clever escape move. The ball went out of bounds, but the ball did not go out of bounds. The little tech got through Ashley Cole.

After completing the pass, Ashley Cole did not give up. When chasing back, he used his body to block Messi's inward angle. This was Ancelotti's biggest request for the full-back. *** The two Red Rebels Although Ashley Cole is a winger who cuts inside, he focuses on offense but not defense, but once he makes up his mind to defend, his defensive ability is still very strong.

Messi was stuck in position and was forced to go down the sideline to the bottom line. Facing Ashley Cole, he deftly kicked back and passed directly with his left foot.

At this time, Drogba in the middle had already pressed into the penalty area. He leaned against Alex with his body and jumped up high. However, he did not choose to shoot. Instead, he headed the ball to his right. Immediately flying outside the penalty area, goalkeeper Hildebrand was taken aback.

When he realized something was wrong, he found that under Emerson's interference, Kaka had stopped the ball with his chest, swung his leg and volleyed, trying to make a save, but it was too late.
