At the beginning of the season, when David Beckham decided to move to the Red Rebels, everyone's reaction was shock!

It's not that I'm shocked that Beckham wants to leave Manchester United, because Manchester United has put Beckham on the shelf at that time, and it is imperative to leave, but leaving Manchester United and choosing the Red Rebels is incomprehensible to everyone!

Why?

Beckham never opened his mouth to explain!

The Red Rebels officially did not say it!

Manchester United officially said that because the price offered by the Red Rebels is relatively high, higher than that of Real Madrid!

In addition, Barcelona's president Laporta announced that Beckham refused to transfer to Barcelona because Barcelona could not pay Beckham's high salary!

All of this seems to give the impression that Beckham's move to the Red Rebels is all about money!

Everyone loves money, professional players work hard for money, but his status is as high as Beckham, but he transferred to the Premier League for money, which is depraved in everyone's eyes and lost in money!

But then, gradually, with Beckham's conscientious performance on the field, as the Red Rebels' results became better and better, people began to dispel doubts and criticisms of Beckham, at least he seemed to be still playing in the Red Rebels.

But in private, there are still many people who question Beckham, thinking that if he goes to Real Madrid, at least he will be better than now, because there are superstars like Zidane and Ronaldo next to him.

Look at that little Juninho, although he was originally a little well-known in Europe, but not very well-known, now he has gone to Real Madrid and has become the first choice in the Bosque midfield position, and he has also become a key man for Real Madrid with his outstanding performance, and has been selected for this year's European Footballer of the Year list.

Although David Beckham was also on the list, he was not much noticed because he played for a team that was not a big club.

But after the results of the selection were announced, everyone was slapped in the face.

Nedved won this year's Ballon d'Or for his outstanding performances at Juventus this season, and he is also the second player in Czech history to win the European Footballer of the Year, with a whopping 190 points, well surpassing the 128 points of second place.

Who is the second place?

Everyone has fallen into glasses!

David Beckham!

One of the Premier League's best performers of the season this season, but he's not as eye-catching as he used to be, with his dedication to defending, he's the Premier League's longest-running player and he's the Premier League's assists leader.

In 17 rounds of the Premier League, 2 rounds of the League Cup and 4 games, Beckham scored 7 goals, not as many goals as Thierry Henry, but he has 15 assists, is the Premier League's half-way assist king, and almost half of the Red Rebels' goals in all games this season have come directly from Beckham's feet, let alone his response.

Of course, there are some differences between the Premier League and other leagues, but on the whole, Beckham's importance and performance can be seen.

After Arsenal were held to a draw by Fulham and Bolton, the Red Rebels are top of the Premier League table with 45 points from 14 wins and three draws, ahead of Arsenal, who have only six points from their last four games, and Manchester United, who have been in shaky form.

This is also the second time this season that the Red Rebels are at the top of the table, but Arsene Wenger said in a previous interview with the media that he has little interest in the Red Rebels to establish the halfway title ahead of schedule, because the key moment in the Premier League is in the second half, and he is confident that the Red Rebels will win at home because he has Henry.

It was undoubtedly Arsene Wenger's campaign for his protégé, but Henry ultimately failed to beat David Beckham, just as Arsenal could not beat the Red Rebels in the standings.

Thierry Henry received 68 votes, 60 fewer than David Beckham and 55 fewer than Maldini, who was third-placed.

Although he is a striker in the Premier League, the Ballon d'Or is more rigorous and credible than the World Footballer of the Year, and many of the media have repeatedly said before the award is released that this year's selection does not focus on fame, but more on strength and the attack on the team on the field.

Therefore, players including Shevchenko, Zinedine Zidane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul and others have not been able to overpower Nedved, Beckham, Juninho Jr. and Maldini, Ronaldo is outside the top 10, Celtic's Larsson and Porto's Deco are 12 and 13.

After the results came out, although Beckham did not win the Ballon d'Or, he also became famous all of a sudden.

If he was originally considered an idol more important than strength, then now, after the experience of the Red Rebels, he embodies a very professional player temperament, and he undoubtedly tells everyone through his wonderful performance in the Red Rebels in the past six months that he is not a player who plays with his face, and he can also become the core of a team like Zidane.

With seven goals and 15 assists, David Beckham is undoubtedly the most important player on the pitch for the Red Rebels, he has planned almost the vast majority of the team's attack, he can be involved in the team's frontcourt attack, but also can drop back to organize the defence, he can do almost anything!

If anyone still doubts Beckham, look no further than what the Ballon d'Or has to say about him!

Of course, this is not the best form for David Beckham, who registered 33 assists in all competitions in the 99/00 season, compared to 152 in his years at United.

Some media specially found out the information, from 92 to 03, Manchester United scored a total of 929 goals in all competitions, Beckham assisted 152, Giggs assisted 154, and the devil's wings accounted for one-third, but Giggs played the absolute main force from the 91/92 season, while Beckham played the main team from the 95/96 season, and the gap between the two was 4 years.

Although Beckham's stats at the Red Rebels were a bit worse than at Manchester United's peak, his role in the team was more important than at Manchester United, which is why he was named to the European Footballer of the Year list.

After the French media first revealed the news of the top three Ballon d'Or, Juventus, Red Rebels and AC Milan also posted the same news on their official websites, which immediately caused a sensation among Red Rebels fans.

The news spread to the Internet, and many netizens thought it was a lie, but when they logged on to the official website to take a look, they found out that it was true, and they were all taken aback.

However, as in the round of 16 of this season's UEFA Champions League, this year's European Footballer of the Year winner is indeed civilian.

Nedved, Beckham and Maldini, compared with the previous imposing forwards and midfielders, this year's three candidates are indeed not convincing in terms of overall fame, Beckham is undoubtedly the most famous star in today's football, but he was elected with controversy and doubts.

But no matter what, the dust has settled on the top three of European Footballer of the Year, whether it is Nedved or Beckham, professional football people think it is well deserved, but the fans are more skeptical.

…………………… Speaking to the media the following day, Beckham said he was surprised by the selection but gave him a lot of motivation.

He is eager to appeal to more fans and make them pay more attention to his performance on the pitch through this selection, and he came to the Red Rebels to prove that when fans recall this player many, many years later, they will remember that this is a professional player, not a star who is just a showman.

At this press conference, Mourinho strongly supported Beckham, believing that the England captain is definitely qualified to win the Ballon d'Or, but this year's Nedved's performance is even better, but he believes that as long as Beckham continues to follow the current development trend, his future should be the Ballon d'Or and the world footballer!

Like the club's public support for Beckham, Red Rebels fans are also excited about Beckham's selection in the top three of the Ballon d'Or, and many fans simply pull up banners and run to Old Trafford to celebrate, which is considered by many Manchester United diehards to be a provocation to the Red Devils, because the only player in the top 20 is Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is only sixth, but the Red Rebels have two more players selected, Kaka has four votes, tied for 13th, and Palacio has three votes, tied for 18th with Totti and Nihart.

In addition to announcing Beckham's news, the official website of the Red Rebels also sent a congratulatory message, which is to congratulate Juninho Jr. for ranking 7th in the Ballon d'Or awards, which is what Juninho Jr. said in an interview with the media.

At that time, he said that the team he was most grateful to was the Red Rebels, and in the past few years in the Red Rebels, the team has helped him a lot, so that his career has made great progress, although he has left this team, he will always remember that he was once a member of the Red Rebels.

Xiao Yu also made a phone call to congratulate Juninho Jr., who kept thanking Xiao Yu on the phone, and also thanked the team, he thought that without Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels, he would not be where he is today.

Xiao Yu is also very happy for Juninho Jr.'s achievements, he is the core of Real Madrid's organization this season, and he is the most consistent and outstanding player of Real Madrid, and he deserves this award.

In addition to Juninho Jr. and others, players from the Red Rebels, including Olich, Crouch and Abidal, have also called back to the club to congratulate Beckham and the team.

Xiao Yu is not surprised by the behavior of these players after leaving, although they have transferred, everyone is good to get together and disperse, you and I are willing, and the transfer is good for everyone on both sides.

Even now, players such as Olic and Abidal are still using the Red Rebels to help them manage their finances, and Xiao Yu does not refuse this, because the financial experts hired by the club will also charge these players a certain fee as his remuneration, so the team has not lost in this regard, but has also formed a good reputation in the player circle.

At present, the Red Rebels have the habit of managing the money for the players, and the players are happy to hand over their income to the club to operate, and after several years of operation, they can probably have a return of 8-13% every year, which is definitely full of temptation for the players.

After all, the player's career is so short, they have to think about their life after retirement, and the team helps them solve their future life problems through reasonable financial means, which will make the player feel more at ease to play for the team.

…………………… While the results of the European Ballon d'Or were a sensation around the world, it was just a lively day inside the Red Rebels, with the players quickly gearing up for the Arsenal game.

John Terry's absence has made the Red Rebels' defensive holes obvious, with Nemanja Vidic having quality but a little frizzy and Curtis being young, which has worried Mourinho as Arsenal have a strong attack and experienced players, and it is difficult to ensure that the backline will not make the same mistakes against Liverpool as they do not repeat the mistakes they made against Liverpool.

It can be said that the current ranking of the Red Rebels is at the top of the list, which is something that no one expected, and there are good and bad things for the Red Rebels.

The good thing is that the team has better expectations, the players have improved a lot, the overall quality has improved very quickly, and with the advantage of the promoted horses, the first half of the season has been a breakthrough.

But the bad thing is that the first half of the journey was too smooth, you know, the Premier League is not a low-level league, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea these wolves are all staring behind, as long as one is not careful, it is likely to be torn to pieces.

The first half was impressive, and it was not uncommon for the second half to be a mess, especially after the winter break, which is something Mourinho should be careful about.

But there's also good news, Essien's comeback.

Eid al-Fitr in 03 was on November 26, Mourinho has been careful with the use of Muslim players for a period of time before and after Ramadan, but Essien was still injured, fortunately not serious, and he was raised for half a month, just in time to return against Arsenal.

It is believed that Essien's timely comeback will bring thickness and hardness to the defense of the Red Rebels!
