Red Rebels

583 Beckham’s choice

This season, Inter Milan has finally begun to feel a bit like a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law.

With the outbreak of Calciopoli, Juventus was ordered to be relegated, Lazio was deducted 3 points, AC Milan was deducted 8 points, and Fiorentina was deducted 15 points, which made Inter Milan's early decision in Serie A. They are currently leading the standings, while second-placed Roma has also significantly widened the gap with third-placed Lazio.

Inter Milan did not encounter much resistance in the domestic league. Inter Milan's goal is to make a breakthrough in European competitions. After all, Moratti's wish is to create another era of Inter Milan, and if he wants to recreate this legendary era, the final step is to make a breakthrough in the European competition. What matters is being in the Champions League.

In the top 16 knockout round, Inter Milan faced Benfica. They were indeed lucky and the team successfully advanced. However, in the top 8 knockout round, Inter Milan was somewhat lacking confidence when encountering such a powerful Red Rebels.

The defense composed of Cesar, Zanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi and Burdisso, plus the midfield composed of Cambiaso, Stankovic and Solari, can withstand Live the attack of the Red Rebels?

"Mancini will definitely hesitate!" Mourinho said with certainty at the pre-match tactical analysis meeting.

"But, Jose, Inter Milan currently has a 16-game winning streak in Serie A. Many Serie A fans believe that this Inter Milan is great and may create miracles!" Cassel reminded cautiously. .

Unexpectedly, Mourinho couldn't help but shook his head, "Jim, I know they have 16 consecutive victories, but it depends on the opponent. Juventus is currently ordered to be relegated, AC Milan and Lazio are not in the best condition, especially in In Serie A, Inter Milan has almost no opponents, of course they can create a 16-game winning streak!"

It should be said that Inter Milan's strength this season is based on the suppression of several other strong teams in Serie A. After all, the Calciopoli has had a profound impact on Serie A. Of course, this cannot deny Inter Milan's success this season.

"Mancini is not a god. He cannot solve the team's real problem, which is the midfield. Especially after seeing that we just beat Barcelona 7-0, Mancini will definitely be worried that their midfield defense is weak. He must not dare to be careless, and the most likely option is to arrange a three-midfielder tactic for stability!"

In the two-round match, the Red Rebels have a relatively favorable schedule and still play first before home.

"Mancini lacks a courageous temperament in his bones, which makes him always timid and difficult to make decisions at critical moments. This is Inter Milan's most fatal flaw, and it is also our most favorable opportunity!" Mu When Rinho said these words, it was obvious that he was indescribably familiar with Mancini.

If Xiao Yu were here at this time, he would definitely be very sure of the scouting department's analysis of Mancini, because the Italian is the type who sails a boat with caution. Maybe being cautious is a good thing, but sometimes, it is too much. Being careful often turns out to be the biggest flaw.

"We were a guest at San Siro. We attacked aggressively and pressed boldly. From the first minute of the game, I was going to suppress Inter Milan." Mourinho banged the table in the tactical discussion room.

"How about the starting lineup?" Cassel asked with concern.

In fact, the current starting lineup of the Red Rebels is very competitive, and there are not many positions that are really determined. For example, forward, Drogba and Villa take turns to compete. Ismail started in the cup, but in the league and Champions League Most came off the bench.

At the right wing position, Messi and Robben will start depending on their status. Although Messi is young,

However, in the past few seasons, his performance has become more and more outstanding, especially this season, he has recorded a double-double of goals and assists in the league, and Robben can only be forced to sit on the bench. This makes the Dutch a little depressed, but the team's current record is brilliant, so he has no complaints.

A team is often like this. When the record is shining, no matter how big the contradiction is, it will be covered up. But once the performance is bad, everything will come out, and no team can avoid it.

The coaching staff discussed carefully there and selected the main starting lineup based on Inter Milan's tactics.

The forward is Didier Drogba, the left winger is Ronaldinho, the right winger Messi, the attacking midfielder Kaka, the double midfielders Cesc Fabregas and De Rossi, the left back Zambrotta, and the center back combination is Vidic and Curtis, right back Maicon, goalkeeper Adler.

Although Casey Keller has returned from injury, in fact, the American goalkeeper's condition has plummeted since he was injured. He has now finalized the decision to retire after the end of the season and switch to coaching the team. He hopes to be able to coach the Red Rebels. Accumulate a few years of coaching experience and then return to the United States to play.

In addition, Cech has also started training with the team, but it is still uncertain whether he can catch up with the last few games of the season. However, the laboratory is very optimistic about Cech's recovery and is likely to approve him to advance to the end of April. Comeback.

On the contrary, it is Beckham. The 32-year-old Beckham has been injured again recently. He is still sick, but the injury is not very serious and he can return in about two weeks. During this time, Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson He took up his task very well.

However, frequent injuries also make people worried about Beckham's future. His contract with the Red Rebels still has one year, but with the rise of Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson, he has gradually become more and more interested in the Red Rebels. The army can't even play the game.

This time, he went to an away game to challenge Inter Milan. As the captain, he also set off with the team, but during the game, he sat with Xiao Yu and the club's top executives in the *** box arranged by Inter Milan. .

There is a saying that is right, people grow up with passion, but they grow old quietly.

Before he knew it, Xiao Bang was already able to run and jump. He would follow Xiao Yu to the away game to watch the game in almost every game. For the sake of his son, once Xiao Yu arrived at the away game, he basically reserved a box. He only stayed in the Red Rebels. He would sit in the stands with his son during home games.

Unknowingly, Xiao Yu is also 32 years old, exactly the same age as Beckham.

"We are all old, David!" Xiao Yu said with emotion as he watched Chopin and the eldest son and daughter of the Beckham family chasing and playing in the box.

Beckham shook his head and sighed. When he met Xiao Yu, he was just a famous young star. At that time, the Red Rebels were just an amateur team in the tenth tier of England. But it was only a few years ago. , he is already old, and the Red Rebels have become the most premier club in today's football.

Of course, Beckham is lucky. He does not have to worry about losing his livelihood once he retires like some other stars, because in addition to owning shares in the company jointly owned by the Red Rebels, he also has a large amount of money stored in The investment fund of the Red Rebel Commerce Department will ensure that he will have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Every player of the Red Rebels has received such a guarantee, which is why so many players are willing to join the Red Rebels.

"Jose and Jim talked to me before. They want to know what you think!" Xiao Yu said.

Beckham also knows what Xiao Yu means. He now holds the highest salary in the world, but his role in the team has plummeted. Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson's performances are getting better and better. , which has caused him to gradually lose his main position this season, especially in the second half of the season, with the increase in injuries.

"I think I'm far from the age to retire, Xiao Yu!" Beckham said frankly.

Getting along with Xiao Yu requires this kind of straightforward honesty.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing, "I told Jose the same thing. Sure enough, I understand you, David!"

Beckham smiled, but couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.

"However, David, I have to tell you to prepare you mentally. The Red Rebels are willing to renew your contract at any time. You are the pride of our Red Rebels. We hope that you can retire at the Red Rebel Stadium. I You mean it, David!"

Beckham nodded heavily and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder hard, "I know, Xiao Yu, I understand!"

"However, you must understand that it will be difficult for the team to guarantee your playing time and main position. Cesc and Michael represent the future of the team. Their performance is great, and they are all brought out by you, just like Just like your students!"

A trace of pride flashed in Beckham's eyes. Over the years, he has indeed taught these two young players a lot. Their performance this season has been outstanding, and Beckham is proud of it.

"I have talked with the coaching staff. I hope you can continue to stay in the team. We can talk about salary, and then you can serve as a player and coach and become the hub between the locker room and the coaching staff. I know you are By obtaining the coaching qualification, you can also take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate some experience.”

Regarding Xiao Yu's proposal, Beckham also knew that this was the best care for him at the moment.

"When?" Beckham asked.

"Any time!" Xiao Yu smiled, "Any time, as long as you think it's appropriate, we can sit down and talk."

Beckham smiled and nodded, even though he felt very uncomfortable.

It's not that the Red Rebels' performance in this regard dissatisfied him. On the contrary, the Red Rebels' sincerity and approach are impeccable. Beckham cannot be dissatisfied, but he has played football for more than ten years. He has been accustomed to the days of walking on the green field for a long time. Now if he suddenly sits on the bench or even the coaching bench, sitting next to Mourinho and discussing team tactics with him, he will feel... Very unaccustomed.

But he also knew very well that this was inevitable.

There are two paths before him now. The first is to leave the Red Rebels and play for a lower-strength team and league. Major League Soccer has always hoped to recruit Beckham to play for him, but once he leaves, Once there, Beckham may completely break away from mainstream football.

There may be many teams interested in him, but the top teams cannot guarantee his playing time, and the lower teams cannot satisfy him. There is certainly no best of both worlds in this world, right?

"Let me think about it, okay? You know, I've played football all my life, and now you suddenly tell me that the chance of continuing to play football is slim. It's really hard for me to accept it!" Beckham's eyes were red.

Xiao Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart. He knew that what he did was a bit cruel from a friend's perspective, but that's how football is.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, Beckham performed well in Real Madrid this season. It was also the half-season that helped Real Madrid reverse Barcelona, ​​which made Xiao Yu completely change his view of Beckham. But now, what Beckham did back then Things turned out to be Juninho.

And Beckham himself, after spending the peak period and glory in the past few years, won the highest honor as a professional player, won all the championships that the club could win, and then began to enter a period of rapid decline, especially This comes amid an increase in injuries.

Originally, with Beckham's transformation, he should be able to play for a few more years, but the current competition in the Premier League is so fierce, and Cesc Fabregas and Michael Johnson are in such excellent form, it is obviously impossible for Mourinho to guarantee the red. The main position of the rebel captain is now.

Maybe it would be good for everyone if Beckham makes some more adjustments. He becomes a player-coach. If appropriate, he can play a few games and work with the coaching staff in his spare time to accumulate some coaching experience.

Xiao Yu and Mourinho have always believed that Beckham can become an excellent head coach because he has excellent football intelligence and his tough character can also help him success.

After that, Xiao Yu talked a lot with Beckham. For example, if he continues to stay in the Red Rebels, he will still be the captain of the team. He can still lead his teammates to fight with his reputation and status. He also It can become a hub between players, coaching staff and clubs to better resolve some conflicts.

It can be said that the Red Rebels have shown their sincerity as much as possible on this issue, and have continued the Red Rebels' attitude towards old players towards Beckham.

By the way, among the first batch of veterans to enter the Red Rebels youth training camp, Carl Marginson had already passed the coaching qualification at the beginning of the season. He left the Red Rebels youth training camp and went south to London to coach Wenzhou. Bourdain.

In recent years, with the support of the Red Rebels and Droisden, the Crazy Gang has become very strong and has been upgraded step by step every year. However, because the Crazy Gang Fans Club still adheres to the membership system, the club is struggling financially. There are some financial constraints in society. Although Xiao Yu pays a large membership fee every year, it is only a drop in the bucket.

However, the Crazy Gang have loaned out a number of talented young players from the Red Rebels and Droisden this season. In addition, they have hired Carl Markinson from the Red Rebels to serve as the team's head coach. Leading the way in the fifth-level National League this season, Carl Markinson led the Mad Gang to play invincible offensive football.

Xiao Yu has just asked the club to contact Kuangbang. If they can be promoted to the English Second Professional League this season, Xiao Yu will ask the club to help Kuangbang in all aspects and strive to make Kuangbang achieve financial balance and return to the Premier League as soon as possible. .

At present, many people have praised Wimbledon as the Red Rebels III, saying that they are also promoted to a level every year, which also makes many people look forward to it.

If one day the Red Rebels, Droylsden and Wimbledon join the Premier League, it will be like three generations living together!
