Two days after playing Liverpool, the Red Rebels host Aston Villa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The latter's performance this season is very different from the status of the traditional powerhouses of the Premier League, and they are currently 18th in the Premier League, deep in the relegation zone, but it is Steve who is worse than them? Bruce's Birmingham City, a team currently ranked 19th.

Since it had just been a bloody battle with Liverpool, Mourinho made appropriate rotations to the starting lineup, Villa played as a single striker, Ribery and Messi played on the wings, Aguero played as a midfielder, Cesc Fabregas and De Rossi played as a double midfielder, Lahm, Nemanjac Vidic, Chiellini and McCone formed the backline, Kessie? Keller was the goalkeeper.

This is also Kathy? Keller made his first league start for the Red Rebels.

Despite a four-day break, the Red Rebels players were unable to recover and were beaten by the anti-visiting Aston Villa at the beginning of the game. Davies opened the scoring for Aston Villa and extended the 1-0 lead to midfield.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho scolded his players in the dressing room and adjusted for the situation in the first half, and the team did improve in the second half.

In the 51st minute, Ribery received Aguero's through ball, successfully countered offside, and made a curling ball on the left side of the penalty area, which hung in the dead corner, and pulled back the score for the Red Rebels, 1:1!

The French Scar Warriors have been performing more and more this season, especially many times in critical moments, which has made Ribery more and more important in Mourinho's mind, but Ronaldo's performance is better than Ribery's, which makes Ribery can only compete with Ronaldo.

After scoring a goal, Ribery played even more vigorously on the left flank, especially with Sergio Aguero in the middle, and the two almost helped the team score on several clever occasions.

In the 58th minute, it was another assault by Ribery on the left side, passing the ball to the middle, Aguero was a big ghost, and he stabbed the ball into the goal before the opponent's central defender cleared the siege, and the Red Rebels won the defeat, 2:1!

After that, although the Red Rebels created a couple of good scoring chances and Aston Villa also counter-attacked, neither side was able to score again, and in the end, the Red Rebels beat the visiting Aston Villa with a good performance from Franck Ribery to take three points.

While the Red Rebels won against Aston Villa, Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Charlton Athletic, making it two defeats in a row, which also raised concerns about the depth of Liverpool's bench, especially with the game of Luiz? Garcia's injury has completely ignited Liverpool's bench worries.

Chelsea defeated West Ham United 1-3 away to reach the top of the league standings, Manchester United defeated Arsenal 0-1 away with a goal from Quaresma, Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in this round, Chelsea finally achieved a comeback, with 54 points, surpassing Liverpool's 53 points, to top the league table for the first time this season, while the Red Rebels are in third place with 51 points, followed by Manchester United with 48 points and Manchester City with 47 points.

However, the day after the end of this game, Liverpool announced that they will bring in striker Bellamy from Newcastle for 5 million pounds, which is also a big signal for Liverpool to strengthen their forward strength, and it is also said that Liverpool has also taken a fancy to Crouch, who has performed well in the Championship, hoping to bring in the Red Rebels veteran.

In addition, Dutch top scorer Kuyt is also in Benitez's plans, a player who can play on the left flank and is known for his running ability and scoring ability. After Garcia and Owen were injured to each other, they were hoping to get Kuyt to strengthen the team on the left flank.

…………………… When Liverpool announced the introduction of Bellamy, Mourinho gave a number of key players in the team a rare two-day holiday, which is a reward for their difficult passage through this devilish schedule, and at the same time, I hope they can rest well, recover and devote themselves to the next tight schedule.

While players such as Kaka and David Beckham rested, youngsters such as Ismael were engaged in intense preparations, as the team ushered in the third round of the FA Cup after two days of playing Aston Villa.

This time, the FA's schedule is cheaper for the Red Rebels, although they are facing Huddersfield Town from League One, but the Red Rebels are sitting at home and can wait for the arrival of their opponents more easily.

However, for the FA Cup, Mourinho still lined up all the youth team players, Ismael, Walcott, Michael? Johnson, Mikel and a group of youth team players were in the starting lineup.

Both the League Cup and the FA Cup are seen by Mourinho as a training ground for the Red Rebels' academy players, although they are playing against professional teams, but the Red Rebels' youth team has performed well at all, with Ismael's brace, the Red Rebels defeated the visiting Huddersfield Town 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the next round.

Theo Walcoat continued to perform well in this game, and although he did not score or assist, his breakthrough on the left and his individual skills were excellent, and his pace was also eye-catching. Johnson and Mikel were solid, with each assisting once.

After the FA Cup, Mikel, Drogba, Essien and others have reported to the national team, where they will train with the national team for the Africa Cup of Nations in late January, which will be played until mid-February.

For the Africa Cup of Nations, the coaching staff can't wait for Ghana, Nigeria and Ivory Coast to stop at the group stage, but from the current situation, it is undoubtedly more difficult, these three teams participating in the World Cup finals are not weak, especially Ivory Coast, with Drogba, Toure brothers and other famous players to help, the strength should not be underestimated.

After the departure of three African players, the Red Rebels welcome the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

The Red Rebels face Blackburn Rovers in the semi-finals, while the other two teams are Droysden and Arsenal.

The Premier League was suspended for 2 weeks for the League Cup and FA Cup matches, so Mourinho made full use of these two League Cup games to adjust the state of the players, especially Beckham and Nemanja Vidic, who were injured, were excluded from the squad for the game and concentrated on recuperating from their injuries.

In the first leg away to Blackburn, Mourinho used Ismael as a lone striker, Ribery and Robben played on the wings, Kaka played in midfield, Cesc Fabregas and De Rossi played in the back, Lahm, Curtis, Chiellini and McCone formed the backline, and the goalkeeper was Cech.

Blackburn Rovers sat at home and frequently used the home advantage to launch a first-class attack at the beginning, while many of the Red Rebels' players, including Kaka, were rested, their morale was high, their physical fitness was also good, and they also played very actively in the game.

In the 30th minute, after receiving a cross from Ribery and leaning on a defender with his body, Kaka suddenly turned and accelerated, ate the opponent hard, and cleverly plugged behind him after attracting a central defender to steal.

After Ismael's training in the game, his strength has improved a lot, especially in the shooting technique in the game, which has improved significantly, and he has struggled with the body of the opponent's central defender, and hit the goal from a small angle, and the ball grazed the post into the net, 0:1!

After that, Blackburn showed great tenacity, especially in the midfield, and made frequent big moves, which did not weaken the majesty of Ben in the slightest.

Although the Premier League and the FA have cracked down on violence on the pitch, Blackburn's actions and disturbances are within the permissible range, after all, it is impossible for any league to eliminate such disturbances and small actions, so Mourinho replaced Kaka with Aguero at halftime in order to prevent players from being injured.

After that, the Red Rebels controlled the tempo of the game very well, Cesc Fabregas was much more solid than before, especially in the face of opposition's pressing, he appeared to be very calm, handled the ball well, controlled the game well, and had a few good key passes, showing his improvement.

The match ended 0-1 with Jose Mourinho's side winning away at Blackburn.

After returning to Manchester, the Red Rebels took a break to travel to Droisden to visit the Butcher's Knife Stadium to take on Droisden for the second time this season.

…………………… Coming to the Butcher's Knife Stadium for the first time as Premier League opponents, the Red Rebels were warmly welcomed by the bloody fans.

Although the two teams are rivals, fans on both sides are well aware that they are even more friends.

It can be said that without the Red Rebels, Droisden would not have been able to achieve what he is today, and they were able to climb to today's position entirely with the help of the Red Rebels.

Throughout the game, there was only applause and cheers from the fans, and there was no booing, which led to the fact that the game was considered by the media to be the most civilized game of the season after the game.

But the fans are civilized, but it doesn't mean that the players are also civilized.

The day before this game, Liverpool won 1-0 at home to Tottenham, Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-1 at home, and Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 7-0.

Jose Mourinho kept saying before the game that the Red Rebels would not show mercy to their opponents because they were Droisden, and Pellegrini even said that Droisden wanted to qualify for a European competition, so he tried to keep the points in this game.

Both sides put on a full attacking tactic, and the players also looked very unkind on the field, and you played back and forth.

The Red Rebels' Villa took the lead in the 12th minute when Messi's low cross from the right was sent to the near post and Villa slotted home from inside the box.

But De Roysden didn't back down in the slightest, and Forlan used Ashley on the left in the 25th minute. Young's cross was nodded in front of Dzeko, and Forlan leaned on Vidic with his body to head the ball into goal, but the angle was too straight and it was right in Cech's arms.

After that, the two sides played offensive and defensive tactics, Droisden used the three-back tactics to set up an interception zone in the midfield, Kaka was under the pressing of Mascherano, there was not much performance in the whole game, and the Red Rebels failed to continue to expand the score.

On the contrary, in the second half, De Rossi made a tackle and tripped Forlan, and although the Italian immediately pulled Forlan up amicably, and the two politely embraced, the referee still sent him off as if the Italian showed him the second yellow card of the game.

Mourinho didn't care about De Rossi's red card, after all, if he didn't stop Forlan at that time, the latter was likely to cooperate with Dzeko in the penalty area, and the Red Rebels' goal would be dangerous, but after De Rossi went down, Mourinho immediately adjusted and began to defend the counterattack, while Droisden pressed hard.

However, Manuel Pellegrini's side were unable to beat the Red Rebels at home, and the score remained 0:1 in the end!

This also made Droysden overtaken by Arsenal in points and fell to 7th place in the league.

For the team's real fight in the game, in the humble box of the butcher's knife field, David? Pace was explaining his next plans to Xiao Yu.

"Remember the lot where Greenside Lane and Markitt Street intersected?" David? Pace smiled from ear to ear, not taking into account that his team was falling behind on the pitch.

"The one you're going to build a new stadium on?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

"Did you buy it?" David was concerned.

David? Pace nodded: "I bought it, I am currently planning, but it is definitely not as big as you and Liverpool, I plan to build a stadium with a temporary capacity of 35,000 people, which can be expanded to between 50,000 and 60,000." ”

"That's good, I remember the big mall across the street, known as the future heart of the Dreuysden district, and it cost a lot of money, right?" Xiao Yu praised with a smile.

He had seen that piece of land, the surrounding environment was good, it used to be used by others as a warehouse, but it has been abandoned for many years, David? After Pace bought it, he sorted it out a little and prepared to build a new stadium, which is still said to be called the Butcher's Knife Course.

"Money is not a problem, you know, Xiao Yu, I just think that the butcher's knife stadium is really old, although it was repaired at the beginning, it still hinders the development of the team, so I want to build a new one, so that we Droisden can have real game income."

The income from the game has always accounted for a large proportion of the club's income, but Droisdon's facilities are poor, not to mention the lack of stadium seats, and the facilities are not perfect enough, which makes Droisden's income situation not good, David? Pace has a large share of its investment.

Xiao Yu reminded David before? Pace should look for an opportunity to build a new stadium, and only a new stadium can help Droysden on a self-financing path.

"Okay, David, if you need any help, please come to me, understand?" Xiao Yu smiled and patted David? Pace's shoulders.

When he bought the land before, Xiao Yu lent him a part, and now that he wants to build a new stadium, Xiao Yu naturally has to make a strong contribution to help him contact Manchester City Council to win the support of the political axe, and also promised to lend him money.

David? Pace has Umbro's shares, Xiao Yu is not afraid of him running away, and he knows very well what kind of person his friend is.

With Xiao Yu's full support, David? Pace is very grateful, and his new stadium plan can also be officially planned, after all, it cost nearly 100 million pounds, and he can't do it without Xiao Yu, a wealthy man!
