Red Rebels

Second set of plans

Many people don’t know that Ferguson has actually ignored Manchester United’s training for many years.

To be able to serve as Ferguson's assistant coach, he must be an experienced and well-known professional, such as McLaren, Queiroz and others. These people are in charge of training under Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United. As for the team's skills and tactics , Ferguson did it himself.

After all, Ferguson's energy is limited.

Roy Keane said that this approach has disadvantages. At least the assistant coach has too much power and is even a bit tyrannical. He was forced to leave by Queiroz in the first place, and many old players followed him one after another. He left Manchester United, so he was very dissatisfied with the way he took charge of the team.

But Ferguson enjoys it all, he has his pursuit

Every time the team is training, he will watch from the side, but sometimes, he will sit in the office and think carefully about how to deal with the opponents in the next game, especially those powerful enemies.

For example... Red Rebels

When it comes to how to restrain the Red Rebels, if Ferguson believes in second place, then no one in the entire European football world dares to believe in first place, not even Pellegrini of Droylsden.

Every team has its weaknesses, and the Red Rebels undoubtedly have their weaknesses. Even if they look from the outside, how powerful their offense is and how solid their defense is, they also have weaknesses. , but they hide it very deeply.

But Ferguson and Pellegrini are the kind of coaches who can find out the weaknesses of the Red Rebels, because they are so familiar with this team, and they are studying how to deal with this team almost all the time.

That's the benefit of mortal enemies

There was a knock on the door, and Ferguson shouted to come in, and Queiroz rushed in excitedly.

"Good news, great news." Queiroz looked very excited.

Currently, he has no interest in coaching Portugal. He is focused on guarding the big tree of Manchester United and waiting to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson. This is the promise given to him by Ferguson, who has repeatedly praised Queiroz in the media.

But whether it is in terms of strength, fame, influence, or management level, the difference between Queiroz and Ferguson is more than one street. It is estimated that the difference can be from Manchester to London. How far would you say?

"What good news?" Ferguson seemed very calm.

"Kaká will be absent due to injury." Queiroz was right across from Ferguson's desk, his face red with excitement.

"What?" Ferguson stood up from his seat in surprise, "Is this news accurate?"

"Of course, the scouts tried their best to dig out the news. I heard that Kaká's injury is not serious. It is hard to say whether he will be able to catch up with the game by then. However, Mourinho does not want to take risks. It is estimated that he will use Ozil to replace Kaká. "

Ferguson ignored Ozil at all. The German joined the Red Rebels for one season and his performance could only be regarded as good. He also had potential, made great progress and played a lot of games. However, compared with Kaká, he was still far behind. Far.

If he were to find a player in the current Red Rebels lineup that gives Ferguson the most headaches, he would choose Kaká.

Ronaldinho is very strong and scores a lot of goals, but in fact his current playing style has not yet reached perfection. He still needs to rely on the passing of his teammates. For example, he almost always likes to use volleyball to score goals. Yes, such a goal is undoubtedly very enjoyable, fast and powerful, but it requires teammates to know the pass and his judgment of the ball path.

If the pass to Ronaldinho is blocked, the Portuguese will not be much of a threat.

This is somewhat similar to Manchester United in Xiao Yu's previous life. At that time, when all the European powerhouses played against Manchester United, they concentrated on two points. One was Rooney, and the other was Berbatov and Tevez. They disrupted these two points and controlled the situation. Passing the ball to Ronaldinho, the Portuguese became the king of indiscriminate shots.

Today's Ronaldinho is more balanced and has better skills than Xiao Yu's previous life, but he also has the disadvantage of relying on his teammates. The team is currently helping him transform and is also solving this problem. Whether it is Aguero Taking the ball behind his back and passing it behind him, or Messi's cross-cutting pass, all are to help Ronaldinho solve this problem.

Of course, it would be better if he could change his style of play.

"Okay, without Kaká, and with Ronaldinho accumulating yellow cards and being absent, the strength of the Red Rebels is bound to decline." Ferguson looked very happy, obviously he was very satisfied with the news brought by Queiroz.

"Not only Kaka, but also whether Curtis can play is a question," Queiroz added.

Ferguson looked at Queiroz in confusion, and the latter immediately explained, "Curtis's shoulder has always been injured. Whether it was against Everton or Chelsea, he was not suspended. It is said that he was absent on Sunday morning. The first training session of the Red Rebels was just some simple individual training on the sidelines, probably due to a shoulder injury.”

Ferguson burst into laughter upon hearing this, "So, Mourinho, the arrogant man, must be very distressed now."

Queiroz knew that Ferguson and Mourinho had a good relationship, so he could only smile submissively.

…………

…………

Mourinho is also sitting in his office, his brows furrowed as high as a mountain. Cassel, Moniz and Boyas are opposite him, and Faria is in charge of the team's training.

"According to the information obtained by our scouts, the injuries of Senna, Hargreaves, Sully Muntari, Ferdinand and Quaresma have all recovered," Boyas said with a helpless sigh.

This also means that Manchester United's main lineup is complete, and Ferguson will definitely try his best to win at home.

The opponent's strength has strengthened, but the strength of the Red Rebels has weakened. This puts the Red Rebels in a very passive and embarrassing situation in this game.

"We can close Kaka," Moniz suggested.

Unexpectedly, Cassel shook his head, "It's okay to seal it, but after sealing it, Kaka's injury will be more serious. What if it leads to an old injury?"

No one dares to try again easily. If Kaka is injured again, it is likely that it will no longer be a matter of missing a season, but that he will retire forever. For a top superstar who has begun to reach his peak again this season Is this risk too great?

You know, Kaka is just 7 years old. If he can continue to play like this without injury or disease, according to his current style and level, he can maintain his peak period for at least 5-7 years.

Xiao Yu said with a smile at an internal team gathering before that as long as we have Kaká, Ronaldinho, Messi and Aguero, and Cesc Fabregas, Michael Johnson, Essien and De Rossi, The backcourt retains Curtis, Terry, Evra, Vidic and others, and Cech is the goalkeeper.

As long as this lineup remains unchanged, the Red Rebels can dominate European football for at least another five years and dominate European football for ten more years.

Domination does not necessarily mean winning trophies. Just like last season, although the Red Rebels stopped in the top 8, no one can deny that the Red Rebels are still the most powerful team in today's football. Five years later, many players including Terry, Evra, and Vidic will begin to decline. At that time, the Red Rebels will begin to enter a metabolic period, but young players such as Ronaldinho, Messi and Aguero will The players will ensure the Red Rebels' competitiveness in European competitions and the English League.

During this period, the Red Rebels will also begin to actively search for suitable players, tap their own youth training, and try their best to arrange replacement players to avoid metabolic pain.

Mourinho has made a comprehensive plan for this, and in his plan, Kaka and Curtis undoubtedly occupy a very important position.

Strictly speaking, the Red Rebels' lineup this season still has certain flaws, that is, some small players are still unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities, such as Ozil, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey. They are already 0 years old, but they can handle some lower-tier teams in the English League, but when it comes to duels between top giants, they seem a little unable to do what they want.

The Red Devils Derby is being held in the Champions League semi-finals, and the whole world is paying attention. The Red Rebels undoubtedly have an advantage over Manchester United in terms of winning percentage and game momentum. However, the absence of Ronaldinho and Kaká is bound to give Ferguson more If you have more space to play, he will definitely pursue this point and attack fiercely.

Curtis must play. Vidic and Terry both have the same shortcomings. They are slow to turn around. They suffer a lot against players like Robinho and Quaresma who are as cunning as loaches. They need Curtis. Si complemented each other on the side.

Although Michael Johnson has played all the games in the league continuously, he still has to play in this game. Because Kaká is absent, the field needs an organizational player. Michael Johnson must have it, and Ozil will be his assistant. .

After all this calculation, the lineup of the Red Rebels can be guessed to a close.

But what cards will Ferguson play?

Mourinho himself knows it

"There is no need to close the game. We won't take too many risks in this game," Mourinho said confidently.

Cassel was stunned, "Why?"

According to normal logic, once Ferguson hears that Kaka and Ronaldinho are not available, he will be crazy and happy. When the time comes, he will definitely attack. Wouldn't the Red Rebels be very passive?

The Red Rebels' defense is indeed the best in Europe, but that is based on overall collaboration. If the team loses the initiative they need most, Manchester United will be able to directly attack the Red Rebels' defense.

"Ferguson won't take the initiative, he just has the character of being a coward," Mourinho said jokingly.

Everyone knows that he and Ferguson have a very close relationship, so no matter how he teases Ferguson, no one can interrupt.

"Okay, you all go make arrangements." Mourinho suddenly stood up, "Everything will be done according to the old rules. We still adhere to the style of our team, but in training, we must pay attention to the second plan."

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The so-called second plan is the second combat plan prepared by Mourinho for the away challenge to Manchester United. This plan has been practiced many times in training, but because the Red Rebels often practice different tactics in training and formation, so no one paid much attention.

After watching Cassel and others leave, Mourinho showed a hint of worry.

Football matches are torture. Before the match starts, you have no idea what cards the opponent will play. Even if you feel familiar with them, there may actually be some subtle changes.

Details determine success or failure. No one can guarantee victory, no matter how many stars they have.

…………

…………

After the training, Mourinho welcomed Kaká and Curtis in his office. These two players had only one purpose, which was to challenge Manchester United away from home. They both took the initiative to challenge.

However, Mourinho's attitude was very clear. Kaka could not play because his physical condition could not meet the requirements of the laboratory. As for the players' request to play in a closed game, Mourinho sternly refused.

Since the last time Robben's injury worsened after playing a closed game, the Red Rebels Laboratory has been very resistant to playing closed. This is out of responsibility for the players' physical condition, but it does not have much benefit for the club itself. After all, the key moments are missing. The players and the team are definitely affected.

Mourinho clearly told Kaka that the team's emphasis on him is to look at the next five to ten years, not just today's game. If his body is damaged due to playing in a closed game, then The gain outweighs the loss.

After half an hour of detailed discussion, Kaka was obviously convinced by Mourinho. He promised that he would cooperate with the laboratory to recuperate during this period, and then he would appear in the stands of Old Trafford. Come on, cheer for your teammates.

As for Curtis, Mourinho also received the laboratory report. The injury is not very serious. Mourinho hopes that he can persist for a while. After the season is over, he will cooperate with the laboratory and completely cure the shoulder injury. .

The team also supports Mourinho's arrangement. After all, risking the players' bodies is not the style of the Red Rebels. Mourinho also guaranteed that the team can win Manchester United and advance to the finals. Is to win the championship

"I have always had confidence in my players, even if we have to accept the absence of Cristiano and Ricardo, we have to accept this damn schedule, but I still have 100 percent confidence in my players. "

At the press conference before the game, Mourinho seemed confident, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

"But Ferguson said that he found the magic weapon to restrain the Red Rebels." A reporter said some of Ferguson's previous words.

"He always says that, how many times has he actually won?" Mourinho scoffed, "When will he be able to play a game with our Red Rebels openly and openly, instead of cowering in the backcourt and playing with a barrel formation? Sometimes, I will have some confidence in his words, but other than that, I don’t see what magic weapon he has.”

"But in this game, will the absence of Ronaldinho and Kaka have an impact on the Red Rebels' offense?"

When Mourinho heard this, he immediately became happy, "Of course it will have some impact."

Reporters immediately gathered around, obviously wanting to hear what Mourinho had to say next.

"If we follow the normal level and both players are equal, we can beat Manchester United by another score, or even a bigger score. Without Cristiano and Ricardo, we might lose one or two goals."

All the reporters were stunned. This arrogant Portuguese was too confident, right?

But not to mention, with the strength of the Red Rebels, it is indeed not difficult to win, but this statement is indeed a bit difficult to accept for Manchester United.
