Red Rebels

After playing Bolton, the team can finally get a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

England's competitions are very intensive. Many people think that the most intensive schedules should be during the winter break, but in fact, the main enemy during the winter break is the weather. At that time, the weather was too cold and there were many injuries, which made the team's game change. very hard.

If you want to talk about the intensive schedule, it is quite a headache at the beginning of the season, especially for this kind of team, most of which are double games a week, and after entering September, there are national team competition tasks, South America and Africa. Players have to travel long distances to return to the country to participate in the game, which undoubtedly aggravates the physical consumption of the team.

Fortunately, after entering October, the team can get a week's rest, but the headache is that after the 8th round of the league is played on October 4th, there will be two weeks of national team in the middle of the 9th round of the league on October 18th. Contest.

The opponent in the 8th round is Manchester City, who have transferred their home game to Berry. This team has rented Berry's Giger Lane Stadium. They are currently preparing to take out a loan from the bank to build a new stadium, but this club The team's financial problems are always a huge problem.

However, I heard that there is a foreign capital that is preparing to buy a Premier League team recently, and Manchester City is one of them.

With the downturn in the football economy, the stock prices of Premier League teams plummeted after they went public. Except for Manchester United and Arsenal, two relatively strong teams, other Premier League teams were even worse. Many teams had to mortgage their players to Banks, rent them back for use, pay the rental fee, and they don't even have the right to buy and sell players.

From the perspective of stock price, it can be said that it is the right time for foreign capital to acquire the Premier League team. If the acquisition is based on the stock price, a Premier League team with a value of more than 200 million may have a market value of less than 50 million pounds, and some people even have more debts to some. Serious Premier League teams are worth just £20m.

Just imagine, for a rich man like Abramovich, acquiring a Premier League team can greatly enhance his influence, but 20 million pounds is not worth mentioning to him at all.

Of course, if you buy a Premier League team, you have to bear all his debts, and some clubs have debts of tens of millions of pounds. In this way, the price of buying a team is about the same as the market value.

Manchester City has always carried a very strange mood.

Some people say that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but in fact, when Manchester City saw that they were getting more and more sinking, but the enemy of the enemy was becoming more and more beautiful, their hearts were also very uncomfortable.

When it comes to Manchester in the Premier League now, Manchester United comes first, followed by Manchester City.

Currently in the league standings, as a newly-promoted Premier League player, they are ranked 5th, but Manchester City has fallen to the lower reaches and even is in danger of being relegated, but the only good thing is that they participated in the UEFA Cup this season, which also caused the team to be a little distracted. .

For Premier League teams such as Manchester City and Everton, participating in European competitions is not necessarily a good thing. Manchester City, which ranked ninth in the league last year, had high hopes this season, but their results have plummeted, and now they almost entered the relegation zone.

In the final analysis, the thickness of the bench is not enough, and the gap between the main players and the substitute players is too large. As a result, once Manchester City falls into a two-line battle, the results will be seriously affected.

On the other hand, in the first two seasons, there were often two or even three-line battles, and the results would also be affected a little, but the overall impact was not large. This is because the thickness of the bench is very strong. Xiao Yu attaches great importance to the good relationship between the main team and the substitute players in the first team. Surname competition, and Mourinho's concept of starting only in a state also urges players to improve.

So it can be seen that after Hleb, who performed well last year, left the team, fans thought that Robben and Ronaldinho would be the main wingers this season, but from the pre-match warm-up to now, Palacio has relied on his excellent The performance, just grabbed the position of the main right winger.

In the forward position, in addition to the special tactical arrangement, Villa also brought a lot of trouble to Drogba. In this game against Manchester City,

He started in place of Drogba.

The two wingers are Robben and Palacio, the attacking midfielder is Kaka, the double midfielder is Beckham and Essien, and the back line is Philip Lahm, Terry, Curtis and Colo from left to right. ? Toure, the goalkeeper is Cech.

This game was not paid attention to by the media before the game. In addition to Manchester City moving out of Manchester, they are currently hovering near the relegation zone because of their decline this season. With the style of Manchester City's lift over the past few years, the possibility of relegation is not without. .

On the other hand, they are currently ranked 5th in the league. They have achieved remarkable results, and they are playing at home. You must know that their home court has never been captured.

And by the way, the former French player Sylvain Distin is currently playing for Manchester City. He was transferred from Newcastle last year. It was also Wright Phillips who had played in the past, and the full-back was Sun Jihai from China, which made this game a lot of attention in China.

They attacked football aggressively at home, and started a fierce offensive from the first minute of the game. Although Manchester City was well prepared, Keegan frequently instructed the players before the game to attack carefully, stabilize the defense first, and then try to counterattack.

But Mourinho knew Distin very well, and he took a fancy to the fact that the two central defenders of Manchester City turned slowly, and used the more flexible Villa to attack their defense. Theo and Robben frequently cut inside to create threats.

The offensive of changing the ground to cooperate is still very strong, and the attacking combination of the four players in the frontcourt even overwhelmed Manchester City's defense line.

In the 11th minute, he took advantage of a corner kick and assisted John Terry to score his first goal of the season, taking the lead in breaking Manchester City's goal.

The subsequent offensive continued unabated, especially Palacio and Robben on the two flanks, and Villa and Kaka, who echoed the middle, almost turned Manchester City's back line upside down.

Keegan looked helpless on the sidelines as the team was at a disadvantage. He couldn't prevent the team from losing at all. No matter in terms of strength or tactics, he was undoubtedly stronger than Manchester City.

4:0, once again got a hearty victory.

After the game, when Sun Jihai was interviewed by the Chinese media, when he commented on his poor performance in this game, he gave a very pertinent evaluation, thinking that this team is very strong. The other teams have played, but it has never been as difficult as this game.

He was beaten passively from the first minute, making it difficult for Manchester City to even defend, not to mention attacking. As for Robben, who was marked by himself but performed well and scored a goal, Sun Jihai admitted that he could not stop him at all, even if He is already considered the best player in Manchester City's entire back line, but his scoring still fails.

Compared with the game at Old Trafford, Manchester United also beat Birmingham 5:0 away, Chelsea drew 1:1 with Middlesbrough, and Liverpool lost 1:2 at home, the highlight of this round. To Arsenal, who have been in excellent form recently, goals from Edu and Pires helped Arsenal reverse the Reds.

It was also this round of games that overwhelmed Liverpool and entered the top 4 of the league. Arsenal ranked first in the standings with 7 wins, 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 games and 22 points, Manchester United ranked second with 6 wins and 1 draw with 19 points, and Chelsea 6 wins and 1. 3rd with 19 points and 1 loss, 4th with 5 wins and 2 draws with 17 points.

Since they have one game less with Manchester United, Chelsea's position is not firm. The ability of the tinker Ranieri is good. At least Chelsea has been combined with many players this season. Not to mention the reflection of his coaching ability, but Chelsea met Liverpool and two rivals in the first 8 rounds, with one win and one loss.

There are rumors outside that Abramovich is very dissatisfied with Ranieri's coaching, because he spent a lot of money, but it did not bring good results, especially he was very dissatisfied with Chelsea's 3-0 away defeat to the game, thinking that Ranieri's flaws Especially in this game.

Abramovich's requirements for Chelsea are very simple, the play style should be beautiful, the team should be iron-blooded, they should be able to overtake when they fall behind, and at the same time, they should perform steadily.

Arsenal is undoubtedly the best performing team in the Premier League this season. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 5 goals in 8 rounds of the league. They currently occupy the top spot in the league. There are also strong opponents such as Liverpool and Manchester United. Among them, they have scored 0 with Manchester United. : 0.

Manchester United scored 18 goals and conceded 2 goals in the first 7 rounds. The attacking combination of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs, Solskjaer and Scholes did not lose to Arsenal in attack power. , but the defense seems more solid, and Arsenal's tofu defense has been a hidden danger for several seasons.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, Kolo Toure should have moved to Arsenal and became the center back combination of Arsenal's backline and Campbell this season, but now Kolo Toure is playing right back and is very stable. sister-in-law {half-/-float=(.*)+sheng-red rebels

If the performance of Arsenal and Manchester United was as expected by the pundits, then the performance is a bit surprising, because they scored 19 goals in seven league games, but only conceded one. , still maintaining the team's tactical mode of sharp offense and impregnable walls that has been carried over from previous seasons.

England's famous football commentator, Martin Samuel, a reporter from the Daily Mail, commented on the tactics in his column, thinking that the team's ability to control the game has reached the master level, and its full-court pressure and counter-robbing tactics are even more so. It makes people feel like they have returned to the period of Holland's full attack and full defense, but their offense is very smooth and sharp. The players run frequently and change frequently, making it difficult for the players defending them to keep up with their changes.

In addition, Martin Samuel also listed a series of data. Since only 7 rounds were played, Samuel deducted the data of the third round of the league. In these 7 rounds, the players' running distance ranked first. No. 1 in the Premier League, the top 6 players are all players, while Beckham's passing success rate is the first in the Premier League, and the average number of passes per game is also the first in the Premier League.

The ball possession rate is not high, even lower than Manchester United, let alone Arsenal, but the threat they create in each game is far higher than these two teams, even if it is 0-0 at home by Park. In the game that Zmouth drew, the audience also got 23 shots and 9 shots on target.

... Studying the passing routes and player running routes of the entire court, we seem to see a densely woven spider web, one point is closely linked to another point, and when defending, these points are connected through this connection , firmly control the space and limit the enemy's attack.

When attacking, these outlets are intertwined. By encroaching on the enemy's space, expanding their own offensive routes, and then through frequent movement, they cause waves of attacks on the enemy, just like surging waves. Fans call this attack a wave attack!

Martin Samuel praised the tactics very much in the column, wrote!
