After the team held a high-level summit, the senior executives of each department left their seats separately and went back to relay the news to the people in charge of them, knowing that the four captains of the Red Rebels naturally ran to the training building as soon as possible, so that all the first-team players received the news.

From the afternoon training, it is not difficult to see that the players have been tempted by the high prize money, and they have invested great enthusiasm in the training, and they can't wait to play the training ground as if it were the final venue.

That is, on the afternoon of the end of the Red Rebels Summit, FIFA announced the final shortlist of candidates for this year's World Footballer of the Year and Miss World Football.

As early as the end of October, FIFA announced a 23-man squad for managers and captains from all member countries of the world to vote on, this is a smaller list than in previous years, but in the past three finalists have been put forward every year, this year it has become five.

Of the five players, the Red Rebels accounted for two of them, namely Ronaldo and Messi, and the Champions League-winning Manchester United got one of them, which was the leading striker Wayne Rooney, while the European Championship champions Spain had two players selected, Torres and Xavi, the best player of the European Championship.

Although Kaka's appeal was high, the Brazilian was ultimately missing the list, after all, he missed the first half of 2008, and although his performance in the second half of the year was world-class, he fell into a goal drought that made Kaka miss the list.

Torres and Xavi were selected because Spain won the European Championship, and Arshavin, who had performed well in the European Championship, did not make this final list, which has to be said to be a bit regrettable, and many Tsar fans were expecting him to be a dark horse legend in the best selection.

Although the Red Rebels failed to reach the last four of the Champions League last season, they won the Premier League with a number of records, and Ronaldo won the European Golden Boot, and Messi's performance was also very good, especially in the second half of the season, that is, in the first half of 2008.

However, the day after FIFA announced the list of five finalists, French football magazine also announced the winners and top three winners of this year's European Ballon d'Or.

The Red Rebels' Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or again with 446 points, the second year in a row, followed by Wayne Rooney, who helped Manchester United win the Champions League, with 281 points, and Liverpool's Fernando Torres, who excelled in the Premier League and helped Spain win the European Championship.

After the top three, Casillas is fourth with 133 points, Xavi is fifth with 97 points, Arshavin is sixth with 64 points, Messi with 55 points and Aguero with 31 points are seventh and eighth respectively.

This list is also praised by many fans as a subversion of the Red Rebels, especially after seeing the madness of the Red Rebels in previous years, and now the evaluation of the Red Rebels is gradually becoming reasonable, but Xiao Xiaoluo's excellence has been recognized by everyone.

But two days later, in the European Golden Boy Award sponsored by the Italian newspaper Torino Sport, the players of the Red Rebels swept the top three, namely Aguero in first place and Michael in second place? Johnson and Walcott in third place received 129, 126 and 110 votes respectively.

In fourth place is Manchester United's Anderson, followed by Barcelona's Bojan, AC Milan's Pato, Inter Milan's Balotelli and others, and interestingly, Schalke 04's Rakitic is in eighth place, with the comment that he put Mesut Ozil on the bench and forced the latter to switch to the Red Rebels.

Since the candidates for this list are all players under the age of 21, and the participants are all journalists from major European media, the authority is very high, which also gives full recognition to the talent of the Red Rebels' academy.

In fact, this is the first year in a row that the Red Rebels have won this honor, over the years, the Red Rebels have produced Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Aguero and other European golden boys, and according to expectations, the next European golden boy successor will be Walcott, Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere.

Also, don't forget, the Red Rebels' Academy also has two talented attacking talents, Romelu Lukaku and Nimar, who have yet to play professionally for the Red Rebels' first team, but they are already well-known in Europe.

Over the years, the Red Rebels have invested heavily in the Academy, producing wave after wave of players, and although many of them have left the club, the club's Academy is still full of talent.

At present, 18 players in the 25-man first team squad are from the club's academy, plus Drogba, Terry, Cech and other players who have climbed up from the lower leagues with the Red Rebels, these can be regarded as the youth descendants of the Red Rebels.

In this way, the Red Rebels' academy provides almost the entire first-team squad for the team.

According to the current trend and trend of European football, the emphasis on youth training is bound to increase, which also makes the Red Rebels further competitive advantage.

Xiao Yu even asserted that as long as the Red Rebels continue to maintain the current development strategy and trend, the results may fluctuate, but the Red Rebels will always be among the top European giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and other teams!

…………………… While the selections are in full swing, the Premier League has been in full swing.

In the 18th round of the English Premier League, the Red Rebels welcomed Middlesbrough at home.

Middlesbrough's results this season are really shocking, Southgate's traditional Premier League powerhouse, the goal at the beginning of the season was to learn from Arsenal and build a youth army belonging to Middlesbrough, this team is currently full of many English rising stars, such as Downing, Adam? Johnson et al.

Little did anyone expect that the team, who were just over halfway through the season, were already deep in the mire of relegation, sitting 15th in the Premier League, but only three points clear of Blackburn Rovers in 19th place in the relegation zone.

The Red Rebels were at home in this game, and Jose Mourinho played his best to win Middlesbrough at home and maintain his advantage in the standings.

Although there is a danger of relegation, Middlesbrough still have the quality, after the opening Southgate asked the team to stand on the defensive and shrink the defence, the Red Rebels will not be able to break the Middlesbrough goal for a while and a half.

However, in the 41st minute, the Red Rebels launched the last wave of crazy attacks in the first half, and after successive attacks failed to take effect, when Aguero's spinning shot was saved by goalkeeper Turnbull, Essien suddenly entered the penalty area, and the ball that met the goalkeeper was a furious shot to help the Red Rebels open the scoring.

After that, the two sides played very closely, Middlesbrough's strength did not match his ranking, many players in the team were still very strong, but under the overall suppression of the Red Rebels, whether it was Adam? Johnson or Downing, or Tonchay and Alphonso up front, failed to perform.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the Red rebels soon set off another offensive frenzy.

In the 54th minute, after Xiao Xiaoluo quickly broke through on the left side, he hoisted the ball into the penalty area, Aguero grabbed the opponent's central defender Hute's spear, and stabbed the ball into the goal from close range, rewriting the score to 2:0!

Just three minutes later, Cesc Fabregas curled a shot from the edge of the box to break through Middlesbrough's goal again and extend the score to 3:0!

After taking the absolute lead, the Red Rebels began to make a conscious substitution, after all, the devil's schedule around Christmas was immediately followed, and many of the main players had to rest.

After that, the Red Rebels failed to continue to expand the score, and the score of 3:0 remained until the end of the game, and the Red Rebels got three points as they wished.

However, Kaka's goal drought continues!

There are three key games in this round, Manchester United sat at Old Trafford, with Rooney's goal in the opening less than one minute, Manchester United narrowly beat Manuel Pellegrini 1-0 at home, the engineer expressed dissatisfaction with Ferguson's home strategy after the game, thinking that the Red Devils were too conservative, and Droysden deserved three points in this game, because they dominated the game.

But Ferguson laughed at it, he didn't ask for much, just beat Droysden, get three points, and continue to keep the pressure on the Red Rebels.

Everton drew 0-0 at home to Chelsea, Arsenal drew 1-1 at home to Liverpool, and the other two key games were unremarkable, neither in terms of the score nor in terms of the field, but not as interesting and good as Manchester United's game against Droysden.

But the biggest upset of the round came to West Bromwich Albion.

The vice-president of the Premier League is at home, and the striker Luke, who turned his head from Aston Villa? Moore opened the scoring for West Bromwich Albion in the 36th minute. Moore's first goal of the season is a tragedy for a striker, but it was crucial.

After that, the Manchester City team set off a crazy counterattack, but West Bromwich Albion sat at home, which brought a lot of obstacles to Manchester City's attack, especially in the 84th minute, when Bedner scored another goal for West Bromwich Albion, everyone knew that Manchester City was out of luck, and Buffon was so angry that he roared at his teammates on the spot.

Although at the time of 90 minutes, Yaya? Toure's long-range shot forced West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Carson to create an own goal to save face for Manchester City, but it could not prevent the biggest upset in the Premier League.

2:1, West Bromwich Albion proudly defeated Manchester City!

The win also took West Bromwich Albion's league points to 18 points, while Blackburn's 3-0 win over Stoke City, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams lost one after another, making the Premier League's relegation trend very unpredictable.

The difference between the last seven teams is one point, and even 12th-placed Newcastle are only four points more than West Bromwich Albion, while Middlesbrough, Blackburn, West Ham United and other teams continue to be mired in relegation, which also makes many professionals shout that the competition in the Premier League has entered the white-hot stage ahead of schedule.

…………………… In the 19th round, the Red Rebels challenged Tottenham Hotspur away, and with Messi's goal, the Red Rebels defeated Tottenham Hotspur 0:1 away and continued to maintain their lead in the standings.

Manchester United beat Stoke City 0-1 at home, Droisden beat Newcastle 3-1 at home, Manchester City beat Hull City 6-0 at home and Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion 4-0 at home...... If the 18th round of the Premier League was a bit dull, then the 19th round of the Premier League was completely explosive.

A total of 33 goals were scored in this round of the Premier League, and every game was very exciting and intense, and many people analyzed that this was due to the fact that many teams in the last round of the league had hidden the main team, which affected the quality of the game.

Two days later, in the 20th round of the Premier League, the Red Rebels sat at home and welcomed Rijkaard's Chelsea!

This is the first time that the Red Rebels have met Rijkaard in the Premier League, especially since the last time they beat the Black Swan 7-0 at the Red Rebels Stadium, they have not met again, and that game is now being used by countless Red Rebels fans to make fun of Barcelona.

Rijkaard's first season at the helm of Chelsea has been underwhelming, with Chelsea currently sitting fifth in the Premier League, a far cry from what Abou expects from this team.

But everyone knows that it doesn't matter what the ranking is, there are only two things that Abu values, the champion and the Red Rebel!

Many have set the goal of Rijkaard's first season in the Premier League, either to win a major title or to beat the Red Rebels!

Judging by Chelsea's current situation, unless the Red Rebels, Manchester United and third-placed Liverpool collapse in the second half of the season, it will be difficult for Chelsea to win the Premier League title in the current state of these three teams.

As for European competitions, Chelsea have played in the UEFA Cup this season, and Abu doesn't really value this trophy, so in European competitions, Rijkaard is destined not to satisfy Abu.

In this case, Rijkaard can only choose to defeat the Red Rebels!

In fact, he seemed prepared to do the same, so when he hosted West Bromwich Albion in the previous round, he hid a number of key players at the club, including Ronaldinho, Deco and Frank Lampard, in what was seen as preparation for the Red Rebels.

Returning to the sad home of the Red Rebels Stadium, Rijkaard appeared cautious and did not give media interviews before the game, but only said through his assistant that Chelsea could not afford to lose this game!

But he didn't say anything about whether Rijkaard could expel Mourinho and the Red Rebels when he came back to this nightmare land.

The 7:0 that year can be said to be the most painful defeat in the life of the black swan, and now facing his bitter master again, Rijkaard looks very distressed, and can even be said to be helpless!
