Red Rebels

590 Everything is possible

At the moment when he scored, Ronaldinho jumped up from the goal. With his hands clenched, he rushed to the side of the court, knelt on the ground and let out a roar, venting his feelings since this game. The anger in his heart since the World Cup.

Since the turmoil in the World Cup, although Ronaldinho performed well for the Red Rebels, many people actually still questioned his strength and believed that he was not as good as Rooney, especially after the Red Rebels lost in an away game. Xiao Luo was also affected, and his revenge plan had to be postponed.

Now, he finally got the chance!

After venting, Ronaldinho turned around and was greeted by his teammates who came up to celebrate with him, especially Drogba who passed the ball to him.

"This is really a wonderful assist. Ronaldinho's goal is indeed good, but Drogba's assist is a masterpiece. His header seemed to find Ronaldinho directly. There seemed to be a connection between the two. It’s the same line, the football seems to be following the trajectory.”

"Some people say that although Drogba has scored more goals in the past two seasons, his real role for the Red Rebels is not reflected in goals, but in his assists and tactical role, just like It seems that Kaka's shot after the opening was Drogba's retreat, which helped Kaka get into the gap, and now, Ronaldinho's shot also comes from his assist."

"We say he is a center terminator, but he doesn't score many goals. Compared with traditional centers such as Shevchenko, Crespo, Trezeguet, etc., his goals can even be said to be pitifully few, but But he is so important that Mourinho even said that without Drogba, the Red Rebels' offense would change from three-dimensional to flat, lacking height!"

Martin Samuel laughed and said, "Yes, Drogba is indeed a strange player. He doesn't score many goals and doesn't have many assists. He is even often submerged in luxury players such as Ronaldinho, Kaká and Messi." Among the star lineup, however, once the critical moment comes, his role will be reflected."

"Since the opening, Ronaldinho and Kaka have frequently looked for opportunities in the center and left, but with little success. But you see, after Drogba retreated, he suddenly "cut in" and got in front. Ever La's passing routine came to his head like a routine, and he knocked the ball in front of him, passing it just right to the area where Van der Sar did not dare to attack easily. Ronaldinho made it in one fell swoop, 1:0!"

"The whole process is clean and tidy, not exciting, and there are no memorable moments, but it is extremely practical. This is Drogba's style!"

Andy Gray saw the live broadcast showing Drogba, who had just celebrated the goal with Ronaldinho and was running back. He smiled and shook his head and said: "Ferguson commented before the game that the most dangerous magic quartet of the Red Rebels is "What he was most worried about was Drogba, but he didn't expect that Drogba would really cause trouble for Ferguson."

Leading 1:0, Mourinho clapped and congratulated the coaching staff and players one by one on the sidelines. He seemed to be using this method to demonstrate to Ferguson.

Ferguson's face was so serious that he could scrape off frost, but he was helpless in his heart. Brown's defensive ability is still very strong. With a little polish, he can become an excellent central defender, but once He suffered a lot of injuries, which caused him to miss the best promotion period of his career. Secondly, the injuries also made him deficient in physical confrontation.

The moment he faced Drogba, Ferguson clearly felt Brown's shortcomings. He could hardly shake Drogba's authority and could only let him helplessly header the ball in front of him to assist. This goal, even if Brown Shake Drogba a little, and the Ivorian's assists are hard to come by.

But so what?

Sylvester is not focused and stable enough. Ferguson has already proved that he is not Ferdinand's ideal partner. However, in today's transfer market, excellent central defenders are hard to find.

Ferguson thinks Vidic of the Red Rebels is good. In the past few seasons with the Red Rebels, Vidic has become the top central defender in Europe. He is stable and mature, and at the same time has excellent frontal defensive ability. He is simply A perfect match for Ferdinand.

But they don't give up on Manchester United at all, and even if Vidic considers joining, based on Manchester United's current financial situation, with a market valuation of up to 25 million pounds, can the Red Devils afford Vidic?

The central defender has always been the crux of Manchester United. Today's game is just another tragedy. Apart from being helpless, Ferguson really can't do much because he has no money!

After scoring the first goal, the Red Rebels still did not relax their control of the game, especially in the midfield.

The double defensive midfielder composed of Beckham and Cesc Fabregas seems to be very thin and lacks defensive thickness, but in fact, under the guarantee of active counterattacks in the frontcourt and Curtis' frequent "penetrations" in the backcourt, , the defensive problem in the midfield is not big.

On the contrary, the scheduling and command of Beckham and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield allowed the Red Rebels to attack in the midfield and frontcourt like a wave, using an almost crazy offensive to suppress Manchester United and force Manchester United to invest in defense. More troops.

After the ups and downs, the Red Rebels' thin midfielder not only did not become a problem, but also became a powerful weapon for the Red Rebels to control the situation on the field and suppress Manchester United.

Ferguson knew this very well, so he asked Senna and Carrick to stay on the field. Even Diego actively retreated to participate in the defense. The offense was left to Rooney, Robinho and Quaresma, but the three Players in the frontcourt obviously could not pose a threat to the Red Rebels, because they found that after the midfielder was suppressed, they seemed so isolated and helpless in the frontcourt.

"From the opening to the present, the Red Rebels have almost controlled the situation on the field. Manchester United is exhausted but seems powerless. Now even Rooney is forced to retreat to the midfield to participate in defense, looking more like a central midfielder. Rather than a forward."

"Another thing to note is that Manchester United makes a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving, but the Red Rebels appear to be relatively stable in this regard. So far, the Red Rebels' passing success rate has reached 79%, but Manchester United's is only 68%. , but contrary to the passing success rate, in terms of ball possession, the Red Rebels only had 45.3%, while Manchester United reached 54.7%."

Martin Samuel on the side once again reminded, "You should also count the possession rate of both sides in their own half and the opponent's half. If you count this, you will find that Manchester United has more possession of the ball. They were all in their own half, and the Red Rebels tried their best to pass the ball to Manchester United's half, even giving up possession."

"Mourinho and Ferguson are both old foxes. In this rainy day and slippery field, having more ball is not necessarily a good thing. After all, having more ball also means you make more mistakes, and the Red Rebels passed The tactics force you to control the ball more in your own half, so you make more mistakes in your own half and the Red Rebels have more opportunities."

Before Martin Samuel finished speaking, the Red Rebels got another chance on the court.

Heinze picked up the ball on his own left, and Messi quietly pushed forward. He suddenly intercepted the ball successfully, drove to the baseline along the right, and passed the ball into the penalty area.

This time, Van der Sar did not hesitate any longer. He suddenly attacked and beat Drogba before him. He made fists with both hands and hit the ball out of the penalty area, which solved the crisis of losing the ball for Manchester United in time. However, after landing, Van der Sar was suddenly hit by Attack broke out in a cold sweat.

But he had no chance to complain about Heinze, because the Red Rebel offensive came again.

Although Van der Sar's shot went out of the penalty area, it was intercepted by Beckham. The old Manchester United player was active in this game, using his excellent running ability to almost appear on the court. Every corner.

After Beckham got the ball, he faced Carrick and suddenly passed it to his side. Fabregas made a through ball without stopping the ball. After Kaka got the ball, he passed Ferdinand and volleyed directly. 』.

Van der Sar once again showed the stability of a world-class goalkeeper. He made a timely save and destroyed Kaka's shot from the bottom line.

"The whole process was very fast. In less than 1 minute, the Red Rebels had organized two waves of effective attacks in one breath. From this point of view, Mourinho's offensive idea is very clear. Attack quickly. , use quick and concise frontcourt offensive tactics, even if it fails, it doesn’t matter, just counterattack on the spot and keep the football in Manchester United’s half as much as possible.”

Sure enough, the situation on the scene followed Andy Gray's analysis***. Although the Red Rebels' corner kick failed to create a threat, the ball never left Manchester United's half. The Red Rebels even overwhelmed the defense. When they reached the center circle, it showed how powerful they were in pressing Manchester United.

Ferguson was watching the court intently from the sidelines. Of course he could see the tactics of the Red Rebels. As early as when he saw Mourinho arranging for Beckham and Cesc Fabregas to start, he realized that the Red Rebels were likely to Based on this calculation, he even suspected that Mourinho must have conducted targeted training for the rain battle before the game.

This guy is really a tough opponent!

Beckham was personally cultivated by Ferguson. Ferguson knew better than anyone what his playing style was like. In order to protect Manchester United's golden midfield combination, Beckham was firmly suppressed on the right. This was indeed a bit humiliating. .

However, Ferguson did not expect that after coming to the Red Rebels, Beckham would be inspired to be so strong, especially his running, organization and connection in the midfield. He was always full of football wisdom, coupled with the presence of those around him The cooperation of Fabregas and two technical players actually made it difficult for Manchester United's ball to pass through the half court. No one would believe it.

The current Red Rebels are like playing Tai Chi. When our team has the ball, I try to be as fast as possible. Although saying fast may lead to more mistakes, it doesn't matter. After the mistake, I give the ball to you and I concentrate. Waiting for you to make a mistake.

At this time, the Red Rebels will deliberately slow down the pace. Why slow down?

It's very simple. Increase the intensity of counterattack in the frontcourt and do everything possible to delay Manchester United's offense, especially in the midfield. Even Rooney was forced to retreat to defend in the midfield. Manchester United's frontcourt offense weakened and both sides began to struggle in the midfield. In the field, the pace is naturally not fast.

If it were normal times, there would be no fear of being slow. After all, Manchester United can't afford it, but now it's raining heavily, the field is slippery, and the ball handler must make many mistakes. At this time, the ball seems to be a hot spot. Putting potatoes in the hands of Manchester United and deliberately slowing down the pace to increase your possession time is tantamount to slow "suicide" for Manchester United.

"This bastard is so fucking disgusting!" Ferguson looked at Mourinho angrily and muttered.

Manchester United is now like a duck farmer, and the Red Rebels are like a thief. The thief steals the ducks that the duck farmer has raised and kills them. Then he holds a few ducklings and puts them in the hands of Manchester United. Laughing He said, "Grow it slowly, don't be in a hurry, I'll pick it up when it's ready!"

Damn it, I’ve never seen anything so disgusting!

When Ferguson was annoyed, Manchester United continued to make frequent mistakes in passing. Robinho and Quaresma in the frontcourt were immediately double-teamed as soon as they got the ball and were forced to pass the ball back, falling into a spectator game again. It seems that Manchester United is taking the initiative, but in fact, murderous intentions are brewing again.

Once Manchester United makes a mistake, such as this time, Carrick's pass was intercepted by Beckham in advance. The latter immediately passed it to the right and handed it to Messi. The Argentine teenager suddenly accelerated this time and directly used speed and change of direction. After eating compatriot Heinze, he was assigned to the center on the right side of the penalty area. Drogba missed a shot in the middle, and Ronaldinho's shot was saved by Van der Sar.

Ferguson was watching the whole process from the sidelines, shaking his head and sweating all over his back. He just wanted to catch everyone on the court and scold them, but he knew very well that none of this could be blamed on the players.

But just as Ferguson was thinking, Heinze made a mistake.

This time it was a series of mistakes. Drogba and Kaká pressed closely on Manchester United's defense. Ferdinand passed the ball to Heinze in a hurry, but Messi also pressed on Heinze immediately. The last resort is to cross the restricted area.

This was almost a "suicidal" cross pass. Under the interference of Kaká, Brown wanted to make a big-footed clearance, but he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. The ball came directly to Kaká's feet. At this time , everyone looked at Kaka in surprise.

Ferdinand immediately pounced forward, but Kaka calmly controlled the ball with his feet and made a beautiful escape. After getting rid of Ferdinand, facing O'Shea's defense, he calmly pushed and shot from 13 meters in front of the goal. 』The lower right corner, 2:0!

After the goal, the Red Rebel Stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy. All the fans stood up from their seats almost at the same time, shouting Kaka's name in unison, especially when they saw Kaka. When Ka ran to the stands with excitement and celebrated with the fans, the entire Red Rebel Stadium stands were surging like an angry sea.

The fans sitting in the front row kept pulling on Kaka's stretched out hand, shouting Kaka's name hysterically, especially when they saw the Red Rebel players rushing over to follow Kaka. When Ka celebrated, they seemed to have seen the moment when the Red Rebels confirmed the victory of the game in advance.

Yes, 2:0, with this score and this stadium, it is undoubtedly impossible to reverse the Red Rebels.

However, if everyone can see the look in Ferguson's eyes at this moment, they will find that maybe for the Scottish coach, nothing is impossible in this world and in the field of football!
