275 Prospective Champions League teams

After completing their victory over Nottingham, the new Manchester United travel to Gillingham.

As this is a midweek league fixture, Mourinho has made some changes to his squad for this game.

Villa continued to play as the team's strikers, with Ronaldo on the left wing, Robben on the right, Kaka up front, Juninho Jr. and Yaya Toure at the back, Filippo Lahm, Nemanja Vidic, Giorgio Chiellini and Kolo Toure at the back from left to right, and Petr Cech in goal.

It was also the first time the Toure brothers have started alongside the new United this season, and due to the excellent performances of Juninho Jr. and Senna, Yaya Toure is more likely to be used as a substitute or play in the Carabao Cup, but usually Colo Toure will be rested, so the two brothers have not been able to start together.

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

Ronaldo continued to put on a high level of performance against Gillingham, and after scoring a goal in the previous round, he looked confident in this game, whether it was down or inside, he looked more confident and fighting, and he was more skillful with Kaka and Villa, plus Robben on the right.

The front four completely broke down the Gillingham backline, and the four men were responsible for all seven goals in the game, including Villa's hat-trick, Kaka scored twice, and Ronaldo Jr. and Arjen Robben scored one each, but they were no worse than Villa and Kaka.

Of course, the strength of the front four also depends on the control of the midfield, and Yaya Toure showed great quality in this game, especially after a season of training in Belgium, and he has improved both offensively and defensively in the game than in Ghana.

Chiellini and Nemanja Vidic, who started in place of John Terry, performed well but were not reassuring, both were young, both were slightly frizzy, and were not as experienced in the organisation of the backline as Terry and Curtis, so they were caught by Gillingham to score a goal in the game.

But the flaws are not hidden, and Chiellini and Vidic performed very well throughout the game.

The 7-1 thrashing of Gillingham at home has also put the new Manchester United ahead of the league in League One, they are now on a 13-game winning streak and look to be in better and better form, which has surprised more and more people with this team.

Before the season, many people were 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 that is now soaring, they have to admit that the strength of this team has improved by leaps and bounds compared with before, especially the individual improvement of the players is very obvious.

Martin Taylor wrote in his column that a football game is made up of countless confrontations in small areas, and the new Manchester United are very clever in attacking through running off the ball, coupled with the individual ability of the players, to overcome the opponent in the confrontation in the small area, and then overwhelm the opponent in the whole situation.

Look at the frontcourt players of the new Manchester United, Drogba, Villa, Palacio, Kaka, Hleb, Ronaldo, Robben, Ribery, etc., each of them is a player with super individual ability, not to mention in League One, even if it is placed in the Premier League, there are not many players who can eat them in one-on-one confrontation.

Martin Taylor specifically mentioned Franck Ribery in his column, arguing that the player, who had not even played in the professional league in France, has improved significantly since his arrival at the new Manchester United, both physically and technically, and is now an important substitute for the team.

From Ribery's body, Martin Taylor also thinks of the construction of the Red Rebels' entire academy system, and he believes that the Red Rebels' youth team is one of the most technically detailed teams in all English teams, and even Manchester United is inferior in this regard, and perhaps only Arsenal also attaches equal importance to technology.

However, while the Red Rebels pay attention to the technique, they also pay attention to the players' passing and cutting cooperation in a small area, which makes the Red Rebels from the first team to the youth team, all the skills and tactics are in the same line, so when Ribery performed well in the reserve team, he was immediately promoted to the first team and had a good performance.

At present, Barcelona's system is not known, and they will not be widely known until Xavi matures and players such as Iniesta rise, so Martin Taylor naturally does not think that Xiao Yu's youth training system is to learn from Barcelona, but to respect the youth training system of the Red Rebels.

On the other hand, unlike in the offensive attack that encourages technique and passing and cutting coordination, when defending, the Red Rebels advocate restricting space, starting from the forward to actively counter-attack, forming multiple defensive lines to limit the opponent's offensive space, especially in the 35-meter area of the Red Rebels, the opponent almost always can't find opportunities.

Martin Taylor pointed out an interesting phenomenon.

"When we comment on the Red Rebels' games, when we comment on their opponents, the most common thing we say is that their opponents always don't do a good job in the last pass, they are too impatient, but maybe one or two games, but if there are many games, or even all the games, then we have to think deeply, could it be caused by the Red Rebels' defence? Do we have to exaggerate to think that all opponents suddenly lost their last pass against the Red Rebels? ”

Compared with Martin Taylor's tendency to support the Red Rebels, other media, especially some authoritative media, have to admit that this team is more than a step above other teams in League One as a whole, and the players' individual abilities are excellent, coupled with the team's stable technical and tactical level, such a team is difficult to beat.

This can be seen from the bookmaker's odds, the Red Rebels are currently the biggest favorites among all League One teams to win the championship, the odds are even as low as ever, and after 13 consecutive wins, there are even bookmakers offering a new odds, that is, who can beat the Red Rebels?

At the moment, the most vocal team is also relegated from the Premier League, Leicester City.

With this week being a double fixture, plus the Carabao Cup and league next week, and the UEFA Cup next in November, the new United have to face a busy schedule, and with the likes of Didier Drogba, Curtis and Essien continuing to be suspended, the media has paid a lot of attention to the rivalry between the two teams who currently sit first and second in the league.

In their words, everyone is watching to see who will be able to defeat the Red rebels.

But after 90 minutes of hard-fought away games, the answer is clear: it's definitely not Leicester City!

The score of 0:4 may not describe the advantage of the in-form Red Rebels in the game, and the possession rate of 48% to 52% does not really reflect the gap between the two teams, but if you look at the number of shots on goal at 3:34, everyone can't help but exclaim, is this really a confrontation between the two strongest teams in League One?

Kaka was the best player of the game, scoring one goal but providing three assists, and Ronaldo continued to be trusted as the starter, scoring two goals and Villa with one.

It was a startling slaughter, especially on the road, and everyone knew that the Red rebels were in high shape and in high form, but no one would have imagined that they would be so hot.

With three key players suspended and just following the Millwall Stadium riots, everyone expected the Red Rebels to have some ups and downs, but who would have thought that what would be followed was a series of massacres in a row.

On the second day of this game, major British newspapers have published the Red Rebels slaughtering Leicester City, you know, this is a Premier League relegation team last season, although the two main players have gone, but the overall strength has not dropped too much, especially at home, it was bloodbathed!

Many media have turned the quasi-Premier League team that was originally hanging on the head of the Red Rebels into a quasi-Champions League team, believing that if this team follows its current state, as long as the players do not undergo major changes, after entering the Premier League, it may become the hottest dark horse.

Although everyone knows that the Premier League and League One are two leagues, and there is a big difference in strength between them, and there are many teams that have performed best in League One and can only be relegated to the Premier League, but they think that 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 goal of promotion to the Premier League, he believes that the current team in the League One, facing a three-tier battle, all to consider is how to play every game, for a promoted team, this is the key.

"Then are you worried that your team is doing so well that you can't keep your players?" A reporter immediately asked with concern.

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

"But there are a number of teams that are said to have taken their eye on your players, including Brazilian stars Juninho Jr. and Senna, as well as a number of key players such as Didier Drogba, Hleb, John Terry and Curtis who are all being targeted by Premier League teams, what do you think?"

'It's not big news anymore, but I would say that we have long-term contracts with players, they get a good salary, and if there are big teams that fancy them, that's good, it's good to show that they're good enough and I'd love to hear that, but the truth is, no one is going to leave the team at this time, no one!'

"What do you think of Bosingwa's desire to return to Portugal because he feels he doesn't get a chance?"

'He's got to work hard to improve himself and then impress me in training, that's the only way for him to play, and if there's anything he thinks he should tell me, not through outsiders!' Mourinho's eyes swept over him.

If someone who is familiar with him sees his eyes, he will quickly understand that someone is going to be unlucky!
