Red Rebels

After completing the victory against Nottingham, the new Manchester United headed away to Gillingham.

Since this is a midweek league make-up match, Mourinho made certain adjustments to the lineup in this game.

Villa continues to serve as the forward of the team, the left winger is Ronaldinho, the right winger is Robben, the midfielder is Kaka, the double midfielder is Juninho Jr. and Yaya Toure, and the defense line is from left to right It's Filip Lahm, Nemanja Vidic, Chiellini and Kolo Touré, with Petr Cech in goal.

This is also the first time that the Toure brothers have started side by side on behalf of the new Manchester United this season. Due to the outstanding performance of Juninho and Senna, Yaya Toure is more likely to be a substitute for the team, or to play in the League Cup, but Usually in this case, Kolo Toure will take turns, so the two brothers have never been able to start together.

Before the game, the two brothers started together and were heavily hyped by the media, thinking that the Toure brothers are the Neville brothers of the Red Rebels, especially the strength of their two brothers has long been recognized by the fans.

Ronaldinho continued to perform at a high level in the game against Gillingham. After scoring a goal in the last round, he appeared confident in this game. Fighting spirit, more skillful cooperation with Kaka and Villa, plus Robben on the right.

The four-man combination in the front field completely defeated Gillingham's defense. The four scored 7 goals in the whole game, among which Villa staged a hat-trick, Kaka scored two goals, Ronaldinho and Arjen Robben One goal each, but their performance on the court did not lose to Villa and Kaka.

Of course, the super strength of the four-man combination in the frontcourt also depends on the control of the midfield. Yaya Toure showed a strong strength in this game, especially after a season of training in Belgium. Whether it is offense or defense in the game, there has been greater improvement than when he was in Ghana.

Although Chiellini and Vidic, who replaced Terry in the starting lineup, performed well, they still failed to reassure people. Both of them are still young and a little edgy, and their defense organization is not as good as that of Terry and Curti. Slade has experience, so he was caught by Gillingham and scored a goal in the game.

But the flaws do not hide the strengths, the performance of Chiellini and Vidic throughout the game is still very good.

And the 1:7 away game slaughtered Gillingham, which also allowed the new Manchester United to lead the way in the League One. They have won 13 consecutive league victories, and they seem to be getting better and better. Surprised by this team.

Before the season, many people worried that the strength of the new Manchester United would decline after letting go of many main players, but looking at the new Manchester United, who are now soaring, they have to admit that the strength of this team has improved by leaps and bounds compared to before. The progress, especially the personal progress of the players is very obvious.

Martin Taylor wrote in his column: A football game is composed of confrontations in countless small areas, and when the new Manchester United is attacking, it is very clever to run without the ball, coupled with the personal ability of the players , defeat the opponent in the confrontation in a small area, and then overwhelm the opponent in the overall situation.

Look at the frontcourt players of the new Manchester United, Drogba, Villa, Palacio, Kaka, Hleb, Ronaldinho, Robben, Ribery, etc., each of them has super personal ability Not to mention the players in the League One, even in the Premier League, there are not many players who can beat them in a one-on-one confrontation.

Martin Taylor especially pointed to Ribery in his column. He believes that this player who could not even play in the professional league in France before came to the new Manchester United. The improvement is particularly obvious, both physically and technically. He has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he is an important substitute player for the team.

From Franck Ribery, Martin Taylor also thought of the construction of the entire youth academy system of the Red Rebels. He believes that the youth team of the Red Rebels is one of the teams that pays the most attention to technical details among all English teams.

Even Manchester United is inferior in this respect, perhaps only Arsenal also pays the same attention to technology.

However, while the Red Rebels pay attention to technology, they also pay great attention to the cooperation of players in a small area. This makes the Red Rebels from the first team to the youth team. When he was good, he was immediately promoted to the first team and performed well.

At present, Barcelona's system is not well known. They will not be widely known until Xavi matures and Iniesta and other players rise up. So Martin Taylor naturally would not think that Xiao Yu's youth training system is After learning from Barcelona, ​​he admired the youth training system of the Red Rebels very much.

Conversely, unlike encouraging technique and pass-and-cut cooperation in offense, the Red Rebels advocate limiting space when defending, starting from the striker to actively counter-grab, forming multiple lines of defense, and limiting the opponent's offensive space, especially when entering the red In the 35-meter area of ​​​​the rebels, the opponent almost always cannot find an opportunity.

Martin Taylor pointed out a very interesting phenomenon.

"When we comment on the Red Rebels' games, when we comment on their opponents, what we say most is that their opponents always don't do a good job with the last pass, they are too impatient, but it may be like this in one or two games, But if this is the case for many games, or even all games, then we have to ponder whether this is caused by the defense of the Red Rebels? Do we want to exaggerate and think that all opponents are facing the Red Rebels? Did the rebels suddenly lose their last pass?"

Compared with Martin Taylor's tendency to support the Red Rebels, other media, especially some authoritative media, have to admit that when evaluating the Red Rebels, this team as a whole is higher than other teams in the League One. First-rate, players with excellent personal abilities, coupled with the team's stable technical and tactical level, such a team is difficult to beat.

This can be seen from the odds of the bookmakers. At present, the Red Rebels are the most popular among all League One teams to win and upgrade. The odds are even as low as the lowest point in history. Open a new odds, that is, who can defeat the Red Rebels?

At present, the team with the highest voice is also relegated from the Premier League, Leicester City.

Since this week is a week of double matches, and next week there will be the League Cup and the League, the next November will be the UEFA Cup, which makes the new Manchester United have to face a busy schedule, and this game Drogba, Ke Players such as Tees and Essien continue to be suspended, which has given great media attention to the confrontation between the two teams currently ranked first and second in the league.

In their words, everyone is paying attention to who can defeat the Red Rebels.

But after 90 minutes of arduous away game, the answer is obvious, definitely not Leicester City!

The score of 0:4 may not be able to describe the advantage of the Red Rebels who are in good form in the game, and the ball possession rate of 48% to 52% cannot really reflect the gap between the two teams, but if you look at the 3 : 34 shots, everyone can't help but marvel, is this really a confrontation between the two strongest teams in League One?

Kaka was the best player in the game, he scored one goal, but had three assists, Ronaldinho continued to be trusted to start, he scored two goals, and Villa scored one goal .

This is an astonishing massacre, especially in an away game. Everyone knows that the Red Rebels are very strong and in a hot state, but no one would have thought that they would be so hot.

Three important players were suspended, and they had just experienced the riots at the Millwall Stadium. Everyone thought that the Red Rebels would have some ups and downs, but who could have imagined that what followed would be the massacre of multiple games in a row.

On the second day of the game, major British newspapers published the game in which the Red Rebels slaughtered the Leicester City team. You know, this is a team that was relegated from the Premier League last season. , but the overall strength has not dropped too much, especially in the home game, it was bloodbathed!

Many media have turned the quasi-Premier League team that the Red Rebels had hung above their heads into a quasi-Champions League team, thinking that if this team follows the current state, as long as the players do not undergo major changes After the Premier League, maybe it will become the hottest dark horse.

Although everyone knows that the Premier League and League One are two levels of leagues, there is a big gap in strength between them. There are many teams that have performed outstandingly in League One but can only be relegated to the Premier League. Think the Red Rebels are different, this team is surprisingly stable and strong.

In an interview with the outside media, as the head coach of the Red Rebels, Mourinho refused to comment on the team's goals after being promoted to the Premier League. What matters is how to play every game well. For a newly promoted horse, this is the key.

"Then are you worried that your team's performance is so good that you won't be able to keep your players?" A reporter immediately asked with concern.

Mourinho smiled confidently, "We have a complete set of planning and help for the players, I don't think they will choose to leave the team, they are still very young, there is still a lot of room for improvement, go to the giants? That's a good thing, but it's still too early, they still need to play, going to the giants as a substitute will not help them at all!"

"But it is said that many teams have taken a fancy to your players, including Brazilian stars Juninho and Senna, as well as Drogba, Hleb, Terry and Curtis and many other main players. What do you think of the Premier League team eyeing it?"

"It's not a big news anymore, but what I want to say is that we have long-term contracts with players and they receive a good salary. If a big team takes a fancy to them, that's good, it proves that they have enough strength. I Would love to hear that too, but the truth is, no one is leaving the team at this time, no one!"

"And what do you think about Bosingwa's willingness to return to Portugal because he feels he has no chance?"

"He should work hard to improve himself, and then impress me in training. This is the only way for him to play, and he should tell me what he thinks, not through outsiders!" Mourinho glanced at him Severe look.

If people who are familiar with him see his eyes, they will soon understand that someone is going to be in trouble!
