Red Rebels

"Is this really the home ground?"

Sitting in the seat specially arranged for him by the club, Cesc Fabregas looked around the stands around the Old Trafford stadium in amazement.

"Hmm..." Diaz was also very surprised. He knew that he was highly respected by the fans, but he didn't know that he was respected to such a degree. In terms of the atmosphere at home, it was not much better than Barcelona.

Of course, the attendance rate cannot be compared with Barcelona's Camp Nou. The former's attendance rate for this game is probably a little more than 50,000, and some of the stands are not full, but this is for a League One team. By the way, it's pretty good.

"The opponent Portsmouth in this game is very strong, but I don't think these fans are worried at all!"

When it comes to this kind of strong dialogue, the fans should be uneasy. After all, this is a championship battle, but all the fans I see are as if the team has already booked the championship in advance, and even some All have brought the props to celebrate into the stadium.

"Hey, boy, from Spain?" A fan next to him heard Cesc Fabregas talking to Diaz in Spanish.

"Well, you too?" Cesc Fabregas asked.

"No no no, I'm British, but I can speak Spanish. Is this your first time watching the game?"

"Yeah!" Cesc Fabregas nodded.

The latter blushed with excitement, waved his hands constantly, and then panted: "That's no wonder, as a fan, you must know that our home court is the strongest fortress that has never been captured by the enemy. The home loss goes back to our first two years, after which we had our own home, and we haven't lost since then!"

"That's right!" Another fan joined next to him.

"Have you heard of Arsenal?"

Cesc Fabregas nodded, a team that was pursuing him.

"Arsenal's bastards were beaten all over our home court by us, and Millwall, those cowards were slaughtered by us 10-0, today's Portsmouth will not be better, we The home court will never lose!"

The two fans talked about the famous teams that fell at the Devil's home, such as Arsenal, such as Lazio... Only then did Cesc Fabregas discover that this team has cut down so many powerful teams. This surprised him a bit, but in retrospect, a League One team actually reached the UEFA Cup final, what an easy task, and what an achievement!

………………"Martin, it seems that today's fans are already preparing to celebrate the team's championship!" John Mortensen, the bbc who is responsible for broadcasting the League One, was amazed at the atmosphere at the home.

"Yes, although there are still two league games after this game and one for Portsmouth, but in fact, after this game, the title will be basically determined. Judging from the current state of the two teams, no one is Don't make mistakes at the last minute!"

"Redknapp seemed very cautious in this game. Based on the defensive counterattack, he played 451 tactics and sent two defensive midfielders. Obviously, he hoped to suppress the attack through the midfield!"

"The main lineup for this game is still 4231. The starting striker is Drogba, the two wingers are Robben and Hleb, the attacking midfielder is Kaka, the double midfielder is Juninho and Senna, and the back line is from the left. On the right are Evra, Terry, Curtis and Kolo Toure, and the goalkeeper is Cech, which is basically the main lineup!"

Martin Taylor said with a smile: "Both sides attach great importance to this game. Coach Mourinho kept talking before the game. His team will play offensive football at home and will use all means to destroy Park. Tsmouth's defence, he doesn't seem to break his word now, and it's not even surprising that Senna replaced Essien in the starting lineup, who played the full game in the last league game."

"Sometimes, I have to admire the bench lineup, Senna is a very strong player,

However, he could only serve as Essien's substitute, and even Yaya Toure and De Rossi suppressed him after he encountered some minor injuries at the beginning of the year. "

"This is also the capital of insisting on the third-line battle. The players on the team's bench are also very strong. However, Senna is used in this game. I think it is necessary to borrow his experience. This player is very capable. It is said that after the end of this season, Will leave for La Liga, but no official word has been given yet!"

"Okay, players from both sides of the game have entered the field!"

……………… There was a burst of incomparably enthusiastic cheers at the scene, and the players did not even forget to wave to the fans in the stands.

Both sides lined up, Cesc Fabregas in the stands always stared at the little Juninho with the captain's armband on the field, and then he looked at Kaka, the latter with a relaxed smile, and then moved forward It was Drogba and Robben, who were at the kick-off point waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, talking and laughing.

As the referee blew the whistle, Drogba kicked the ball to Robben, who immediately knocked back to Juninho behind, and the players' formation immediately dispersed.

Cesc Fabregas has always been staring at Juninho and Kaka. He found that these two players are very diligent in running, and Kaka's passing and receiving are very concise, basically touching the ball with one foot. Ao didn't seem to control the rhythm of the game very much, and let his teammates press Portsmouth to play, obviously wanting to suppress the opponent first at the beginning.

Portsmouth put a lot of troops into the defense in this game. In addition to the two midfielders, the central midfielder and the two wing midfielders also actively participated in the defense, and even the forwards often retreated, which made The attack encountered great obstacles.

Although one side was attacking and the other was defending, the rhythm of the game between the two sides was very fast, and before you knew it, 20 minutes passed.

In these 20 minutes, Cesc Fabregas also had a certain understanding of the tactics. He could see that this team attaches great importance to running without the ball. Juninho, but his running distance is also not lost to the wide players, especially in terms of receiving teammates.

Cesc Fabregas has an intuition that his players echo each other a lot. Any player with the ball will always have teammates running around him and running out of space to allow the ball carrier to pass the ball, especially when he is on the ball. The opponent's hinterland, the player's passing is very confident.

The magic quartet composed of Drogba, Kaka, Hleb and Robben has created a great threat to Portsmouth on the offensive end. In these 20 minutes, Bu got 3 good shot opportunities, but it was a pity that he was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper twice.

Perhaps it was because he saw that he could not attack for a long time, and when Juninho held the ball, he consciously began to slow down the rhythm.

From the stand, the most obvious thing is that the players around are also starting to slow down, and the pressure of the back line is no longer as forward as it was at the beginning, which makes the midfield and the magic quartet in front gradually retreat.

As a result, Portsmouth's formation was no longer as crowded as it was at the opening, but began to gain some space, especially in the midfield area.

Slowed down the offensive, but still firmly grasped the situation on the field. Junior Juninho's scheduling in the midfield was very stable, and he constantly communicated with his teammates. After he got the ball, he considered more adjustments. Instead of passing the ball as in the opening.

Slow is fast adjustment and brewing, fast is slow accumulation and explosion!

Redondo's remarks about the rhythm of the team were vividly interpreted by Juninho on the court!

Cesc Fabregas just feels that Portsmouth is gradually improving, especially in terms of offense, they are slowly starting to play, which makes him worry, will he be beaten by the opponent for a counterattack after being unable to attack for a long time?

But just when he was worried, the situation on the field changed again.

Portsmouth's counterattack is more about playing their right flank and facing Evra's left flank, but since this season, Evra's defensive strength has improved a lot, coupled with his speed Soon, his body became much stronger, and he was very decisive. In a counterattack in Portsmouth, Evra decisively stuck in position and passed the ball to Terry in the penalty area.

Terry made a big-footed clearance and passed to the frontcourt.

Drogba competed with the opponent's central defender for the top in the left area. After turning the ball back, Kaka kept knocking the ball to Juninho. The latter stopped the ball, looked up, made a diagonal pass with big feet, and moved to Right.

The moment Hleb received the pass from Juninho, he pulled the ball with the side of his foot and let the ball fly quickly behind the opponent's full-back. Then he accelerated to overtake the opponent's defending center-back. Received the ball, made an emergency stop at the front of the penalty area, made a button, pulled out a position, and passed it lightly to the middle.

Drogba ran to the left, leaving Portsmouth's midway with a large gap. Kaka plugged in in the back row, received a pass from Hleb, faced the ball, and shot a volley directly. .

The ball is like a cannonball, hanging straight to the right of the goal, wiping the goalpost into the net, the goalkeeper can't reach! [^[Half(.*)／[float*(sheng]~] w.n floats update fast

The fans at the scene immediately went crazy, standing up one by one, shouting loudly, and some sang the song of Kaka, cheering for Kaka, the hero of the attack.

Cesc Fabregas was equally shocked, because this goal came too quickly and suddenly!

If he scored in the first 20 minutes of the mad attack, Cesc Fabregas felt that it was nothing, but the goal happened at the moment when the situation on the field was about to change. Is this accidental or inevitable?

Cesc Fabregas recalled that pass, and Juninho clearly observed Hleb’s movement, because Robben retreated to respond to Evra’s defense, it was impossible to play on the left, but Hleb on the right However, Bu was close to the opponent's left back, and the ball was passed out, as long as it was passed in place, it would be a one-on-one situation between Hleb and the opponent's full-back.

One-on-one, the offensive player has an advantage over the defensive player, especially a skilled player like Hleb, who wants to break the ball under his feet in a one-on-one, especially in the case of a sudden counterattack. , that is undoubtedly very, very difficult.

Looking around, Juninho controlled the rhythm of the game, communicated with his teammates, and then he suddenly passed Hleb diagonally to help the latter eat Portsmouth's full-back. All of this, Cesc Fabregas recalled, It's like some theories you've heard from La Masia's coaches.

But for a long time, he seldom really comprehends these things. Now that he sees the performance of Junior Juninho, he really realizes that this is the real core!
