506 Abandonment of Fabregas
readx;
At a time when everyone thought the Red Rebels were hanging, the Red Rebels were surprisingly stable internally. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the torment of the devil's schedule during the 05/06 winter break, the Red Rebels players have matured and stabilized a lot, especially with the return of injured players such as Terry, the Red Rebels are even more morale-boosting.
But there is a good saying, when people are unlucky, drinking water will stuff their teeth!
On March 19, the Red Rebels challenged Tottenham Hotspur away, and the London team is currently competing with Arsenal and Droysden for qualification to participate in European competitions.
After Liverpool's tough 1-2 away win over Arsenal in the last round, this round of the league easily beat Newcastle 1-3 away, which made Liverpool, who played a day earlier, temporarily overtake the Red Rebels by 2 points, and Manchester United behind them beat Birmingham 5-0 at home, prompting Steve? Bruce's team was relegated.
Manchester City's surprise 0-1 home defeat to Droisden and Chelsea's 0-1 away win over Fulham have made Chelsea currently level on points with Manchester City, with the two teams in the race for fourth place in the league in full swing, while Droisden is almost certain to qualify for the UEFA Cup as long as nothing else.
It is precisely because of this that the Red Rebels and Tottenham Hotspur are not willing to give up this league game easily, and Mourinho even gave up the FA Cup last-eight knockout round in midweek to deal with Tottenham Hotspur as much as possible.
White Hart Lane is also a tough nut to crack in the Premier League this season, Tottenham have a high rate of points at home, and they have drawn 0-0 away from the Red Rebels before, so Mourinho takes this game very seriously.
David Beckham and Essien joined forces as a back two, Kaka, Franck Ribery and Lionel Messi started the game, and Villa also replaced Drogba in attack, while Ronaldo and Drogba were both slightly injured and were placed on the bench by Mourinho.
From the first minute of the game, the two sides started a white-knuckle battle, there was almost no warm-up, and it was a fierce fast-paced collision, especially Tottenham, who played very tenaciously at home.
The Red Rebels have always been not afraid of tenacious teams, but Tottenham, who are sitting at home, have assembled heavy troops at the back, and the midfield has arranged 6 people, leaving a striker in front to counterattack, which suddenly gave the Red Rebels a headache.
However, the Red Rebels quickly found a chance, and in the 21st minute of the first half, Beckham got away from the spot near the centre circle, and after getting past the opposing defenders, they quickly handed the ball to the retreating Kaka.
The Brazilian wanted to break through, but failed to find an opportunity, so he could only lean to the right side, and after a few cooperation with Messi, he came to the corner of the penalty area, facing the defense of the opponent's back, Kaka suddenly knocked horizontally, and Beckham inserted it in the back row, 0:1!
The Red Rebels take the away lead!
The White Hart Lane stadium resounded with overwhelming boos, it should be said that this goal is a comprehensive reflection of the individual ability and tacit cooperation of the Red Rebels players, and the Tottenham defence has nothing to do about it.
With the score down, Tottenham re-established a stubborn interception zone in midfield, especially against Beckham, who were marked by a player.
Such tactics should be said to have curbed the Red Rebels' offensive to a certain extent, but as Beckham's range of activities expanded, Tottenham's entire defensive system was also affected.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Kaka received a pass from Essien in the middle, knocked his heel directly, turned the ball and passed the opponent's central defender who stepped forward to defend closely, and there was a large area behind him.
The referee awarded a penalty without a doubt and showed a yellow card to the Tottenham player.
The Red Rebels' chief penalty taker is David Beckham, and Kaka only takes penalties when Beckham is not on the field, which makes Kaka's 26 league goals this season, only 2 are penalties, and the others can be said to be veritable goals in sports battles, which also makes many people praise Kaka's sports scoring ability.
Beckham stood on the penalty spot, took a deep breath, calmly pushed the middle, deceived the opponent's goalkeeper, and the ball went directly into the net, 0:2!
The Red Rebels went into the second half with a two-goal lead.
At half-time, Jose Mourinho was pleased with the Reds' first-half performance, and although the team wasted a lot of chances, they were fortunate to take advantage of them and create two goals, which was undoubtedly a huge blow for Tottenham.
However, the bigger blow came at Highbury Stadium, where Arsenal temporarily led Charlton Athletic 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Robin van Persie, Thierry Henry and Bam Adebayor, and although the game was only half played, Arsenal's victory was already a fact.
This immediately made Tottenham nervous, and after the start of the second half, they fought even more fiercely than the first, hoping to make up for the overall gap in strength through frantic scrambles, and also scare off the Red Rebels, who are still playing in the Champions League.
As the scramble between the two sides escalated, Mourinho also had to make substitutions when the team had already confirmed the grand event, after all, he couldn't afford it now, so he asked Cesc Fabregas to warm up and prepare to replace the injured Beckham with a Spanish youngster.
The England captain has injuries in his right foot, knee and back, although it does not affect his game, but in fact, these injuries have become his hidden dangers, after all, he is 31 years old, plus these are old problems, it is very troublesome to heal, but Mourinho has to rely on him, so he wants to replace Beckham in advance.
Who knows, just when Fabregas was standing on the sidelines waiting for a substitution, there was a sudden change on the field, Beckham was in a grab with the opponent, the Tottenham player did not shrink his foot when he saw that he could not grab the ball, and directly kicked Beckham's knee, who stabilized his body and kicked the ball out, but the man gritted his teeth and fell to the ground.
The Red Rebels' team doctor immediately rushed into the pitch to check on Beckham's injury, while Mourinho watched the players walking around in a circle on the sidelines, looking very annoyed.
"Fuck it! I should have replaced David at half-time! I should have made a substitution at halftime, right, Jim? Mourinho scolded and paced back and forth.
Cassel came to Mourinho's side and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, he was well aware of the pressure on the Portuguese, and the next fixtures were extremely unfavorable for the Red Rebels, and if Beckham was out again due to injury at this time, it would undoubtedly be even worse for the Red Rebels.
"It's okay, Jose, it's going to be fine!" Kassel was comforting himself.
But anyone who sees Beckham on the pitch will not doubt his injury, at least this game will not be able to continue.
The team doctor shook his head sadly as he passed by Mourinho, looking extremely disappointed.
This time, Mourinho suddenly guessed, I am afraid that Beckham's injury has recurred!
"Holy!" Mourinho kicked the mineral water in front of him with a hard kick, and that action was as graceful as Beckham when he took the free-kick.
After Beckham went off, the Red Rebels were indignant at Tottenham's hurtful approach, and the team broke out into a strong battle**, with Ribery and Villa scoring one goal successively, while Tottenham launched a sneak attack at the last moment, taking advantage of the Red Rebels' lack of attention, to save face.
Despite a 4-1 win away at Tottenham, the Red Rebels had to endure Beckham's absence.
According to the laboratory's estimates, Beckham's injury this time was not serious, but the injury was his old problem, which made the laboratory have to be careful and not dare to take risks, for fear that one accidentally would damage Beckham's career, and there is also the German World Cup that he will never forget.
The lab's advice was to simply go straight to surgery, but in that case, Beckham would miss the rest of the season, but after a series of rehabilitation, Beckham could make it to the World Cup and clear his right knee at the same time; If conservative treatment continues, Beckham's right knee is likely to erupt at any time, as happened in this game, and just a slight touch can be painful and may even worsen the condition.
The club held an internal meeting for this purpose, and Beckham, the coaching staff and the lab all sat together and talked openly about the current situation.
"Let's have surgery! Better a finger off than always aching! Mourinho finally clapped.
Xiao Yu also nodded frequently, "Yes, let's have surgery, maybe we have to suffer from David's absence this season, but if we can exchange for a healthy David for this, then we will be worth it!" ”
Beckham would have struggled to make a decision, after all, although the club is currently at the top of the table, but it is being challenged by Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City, the situation is very serious, and he knows that the club needs him very much at this time; However, if the surgery is not carried out, there is no guarantee that it will not repeat the mistakes of Fanny.
Ruud van Nistelrooy refused surgery in order to participate in the European Championships, and only took conservative treatment, but as a result, he was seriously injured in a game, which caused him to not only miss the 2000 European Championships, but also missed half a season, and was returned by Manchester United.
After high-level consultations, it was unanimously decided that Beckham would have surgery, so arrangements were made immediately in the laboratory, and Beckham underwent surgery at the Royal Infirmary two days later when the team travelled away to play in the FA Cup against Middlesbrough.
The operation was a success, as was the Red Rebels' trip to the FA Cup.
Although the team won 1-2 away at Middlesbrough, Fabregas, who replaced David Beckham as the playmaker's midfielder, failed to show the quality he should have, especially in the face of strong pressure from the Middlesbrough midfield.
Jose Mourinho once again replaced the Spanish youngster in advance at midfield, which was also interpreted by the media as Mourinho's disappointment with Cesc Fabregas, and looking at the ranking of Beckham's successor, Fabregas was at a disadvantage.
Michael? Johnson, who came on in place of Cesc Fabregas, personally directed two goals in the second half, setting up Arjen Robben and Ismael to score with two fine assists to turn Middlesbrough around.
Although it was only the FA Cup, it was against a Premier League powerhouse like Middlesbrough, which also led the outside world to estimate the starting line-up for Saturday's Red Devils derby. Johnson will be in the starting line-up.
It's understandable that the youngsters are good and bad, after all, they are not mature enough, but Michael? Johnson, on the other hand, looks very mature and has improved a lot over the past few seasons, especially in a few key games, and he has been surprisingly calm and steady, much to Mourinho's delight.
Arguably, Michael? Johnson and Cesc Fabregas are both treasures of the future of the Red Rebels, and Mourinho also has a high regard for both players, especially with a busy schedule and Beckham's absence, the team is in need of two young players who can quickly pick up Beckham's squad.
After the game against Middlesbrough, the players who returned from the victory went to the Royal Hospital to visit Beckham after surgery, and the latter greeted his teammates with a smile on his face.
In this game, both Robben and Ismael, who scored the goals, wrote on their shirts that they wanted to dedicate their goals to Beckham, much to the relief of Beckham, who watched the live TV.
However, for the upcoming fixtures, Beckham feels that the team should not be taken lightly.
"Manchester United, Liverpool and Juventus are all difficult characters and we have to pay attention to them, otherwise our efforts for a season will be in vain!" David Beckham told his teammates.
From the live broadcast, Beckham also saw the performance of his two young teammates, he comforted Cesc Fabregas, who was a little depressed, and encouraged Michael, who was performing well? Johnson, he knows in his heart that these two players are even more talented than him, and Cesc Fabregas's low ebb is only temporary.
"If you can break through the current bottleneck, then your strength will rise to a whole new level!" Beckham's sentence has some flavor of what Xiao Yu saw in his previous life.
But actually, that's what football is all about!
Technique is only one part of the game, but awareness, experience and comprehension are also a big part of the game, especially for players like Cesc Fabregas.
But unfortunately, although everyone knows that Cesc Fabregas needs to improve, the current situation does not allow the Red Rebels and Mourinho to give Fabregas a chance to try to improve, after all, from now on, every game is a must for the Red Rebels!
So, in the game against Manchester United, Mourinho cruelly abandoned Cesc Fabregas and chose Michael? Johnson!
