Despite the Christmas spirit, and despite the hoarse shouts and cheers of the Red Rebels fans in the stands at Old Trafford, they fought until the last second of the game, despite the impressive fighting spirit of the players on the pitch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, in the end, the result of the game did not go as they wanted.

The numbers on the scoreboard are red, just like John? The blood seeping from the straps on the top of Terry's head was as red as the backs of the battered heads in the 13th minute when they were scrambling for the ball, but he returned to the pitch after a hasty treatment on the sidelines.

John Terry was voted Man of the Match and he blocked almost all of United's attacks in the game, but the result was a tragic 2-0!

In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.

After 90 minutes of action, the Red Rebels suffered their second defeat of the season at Old Trafford, and it was also the last thing Red Rebels fans wanted to see because they lost to their most unbeatable opponent, Red Devils Manchester United!

Ferguson smiled and chewed gum, walked along the sideline of the pitch, shook Mourinho's hand, then smiled and patted Mourinho on the shoulder with a look of encouragement from the elders, then turned to give the Portuguese a winner's back and walked into the players' tunnel.

At this moment, Mourinho, who was standing behind Ferguson, almost had the urge to rush up and kick him in the ass, but he finally resisted it, because he had to admit that his team was justified in losing.

Tired, this is the enemy's enemy!

In just two weeks, the Red Rebels traveled thousands of miles to Tokyo, played two unknown so-called Club World Championships, won a so-called world championship, and after returning to England, first played in the league, and then played a League Cup, although in the League Cup, Mourinho arranged all the young players on the field, but the players' fitness still did not slow down.

The 16,000-kilometre round trip took 30 hours, and the jet lag alone was enough to cause a headache for the Red Rebels, who returned to Manchester with a near-collapse of fitness despite their excellent performances at the Club World Championships.

Ferguson, the old fox, is well aware of the problems of the Red Rebels, and he deployed Alan in midfield in this game? Smith, Park Ji-sung and Fletcher were three players with excellent running ability, and they used their physical runs to break down the Red Rebels' midfield organization, and then there was the trident of Wayne Rooney, Robinho and Diego, who were all recovering perfectly after a week's rest.

Mourinho was not reconciled, but he had to admit that the players had done their best on the pitch, they tried their best to win this game, but they were too tired.

'It was a chaotic game and Ferguson never expected the team to play in an orderly manner, his aim was simple, to bring down the Red Rebels and then use the individual qualities of Wayne Rooney, Robinho and Diego to settle the fight.

'In fact, he succeeded, with Wayne Rooney and Robinho both scoring from assists from Diego, and the trio decided the outcome of the game, while superstars such as Kaka and David Beckham, who had just won the Double Footballer of the Year, gave their best but couldn't escape United's almost chaotic defence.

"This should probably be the darkest Christmas the Red Rebels have had since they were promoted to the Premier League, no one thought that they would lose 2-0 to Manchester United tonight, although they could come up with a million reasons, ten million excuses, but they could not change the outcome of this game, 2-0, they lost!"

"Losing to a team they don't want to lose is definitely a big blow for the Red Rebels, but there is not much time left for them to be sad and sad, Mourinho's side will host Tottenham Hotspur the day after tomorrow, and travel to Liverpool away four days later, if they can't get out of the shadow of the defeat to Manchester United, what awaits them will be a dark future!"

Jose Mourinho was tough in his post-match press conference, unwilling to admit defeat for his side and criticised the Reds for playing too savagely, as evidenced by the fact that they were far ahead of the Red Rebels in the number of fouls they had committed throughout the game.

But he deliberately obscured another question, which is that the Red Rebels only made half as many interceptions as Manchester United, what does that mean?

This means that the Red Rebels are not invested enough in the game, but from the perspective of the scene, the Red Rebels players have fought hard, and they have indeed done their best, but they are so tired that even runners like Essien and Beckham cannot catch up with Manchester United.

Mourinho shifted all the contradictions and focus to himself, he didn't want to point the finger at the players when the team failed, so he took all the responsibility and he started to change the subject, criticizing Manchester United's style of play, criticizing the referee's standards of enforcement, etc.

He seems to be an unreasonable barbarian, but behind his savagery, there is a heart that wants to protect the team!

Speaking at his press conference, Jose Mourinho refused to admit that his side were in crisis, saying there was nothing wrong with his side and believing that the defeat to Manchester United was an accident and that his side were more than capable of winning at home.

But in reality?

…………………… 0：0！

The numbers on the red scoreboard looked extremely hazy under the heavy rain, but they were like rain dropping on the eaves, knocking on the hearts of Mourinho and the Red Rebels players.

Knowing that his players were out of fitness, Mourinho made a proper rotation for this game, but he was still unable to get out of the situation, creating a few chances throughout the game, but never being able to find the back of the net, Tottenham could not break through the door of the Red Rebels, and the numbers on the scoreboard never changed.

It was the second 0-0 game of the season for the Red Rebels, but this time against Arsenal and this time against Tottenham.

However, this is not the most worrying, the real concern Terry was injured again in this game, in a fierce scramble by a Tottenham player to kick too high in the chest, the initial diagnosis of rib fracture, is bound to miss the game against Liverpool, coupled with Nemanja Vidic also injured, the Red Rebels' already impressively thick centre-back combination immediately weakened.

In the current injury list of the Red Rebels, in addition to Terry and Nemanja Vidic, Essien will also be out for two games, David Beckham has always had injuries on his body and is always on the field, while Ronaldo also has a slight leg injury and Drogba also has a bit of back problems, although these injuries have not affected their play, but they have affected their performance.

When the schedule is intensive, there is always a high incidence of injuries, and no one dares to guarantee that no one will be injured in such a dense schedule, which causes Mourinho to dare not maintain the previous intensity in training, and the laboratory is to track and observe the players around the clock, and once there are signs, rest immediately to avoid major injuries.

The 25-man squad was supposed to be very generous, but now, Mourinho has to admit that he is struggling with the starting line-up against Liverpool.

With Stephen? With Morgan's arrival, Liverpool are currently in contact with Feyenoord and Newcastle in the hope of bringing in Kuyt and Bellamy, as well as Daniel? Ager, the centre-back, is also important to Benitez.

Although Owen was injured, Luis? Garcia has been doing well on the left flank recently, and with the addition of youngster Pongele, Liverpool are strong, especially the central axis of Reina, Carragher, Alonso, Gerrard and Aimar, which remains intact and strong.

With Liverpool's outstanding performance this season, Reyna has become the most popular goalkeeper in Europe at present, and he has not scored in 10 consecutive games in the Premier League.

Many Liverpool fans even shouted that Reina should be the main goalkeeper in Spain, and the provocation was undoubtedly Casillas from Real Madrid, and they also believed that Reina had relied on his best performance to book the best goalkeeper of the season in advance.

As for Carragher, Benitez has been successful in transforming him and becoming the heart of Liverpool's defence this season, with Alonso and Mohammed in front of him? Sissoko, with Reina behind him, has made Carragher more and more mature and steady.

A solid backline naturally leads to consistent results, and Rafael Benitez's side are unbeaten in the Premier League this season, which is definitely the most surprising result, but behind it is Benitez's tactical insistence on two seasons of victory.

Some people believe that if Kuyt, Bellamy and other Benitez hand-picked players join Liverpool, it will inevitably further improve Liverpool's bench thickness and get heavier and heavier to win the championship.

While the Red Rebels were drawn by Tottenham at home, Liverpool defeated their rival Everton 0:3 away and won the derby.

Anfield has always been a hell for many teams, the Red Rebels have also suffered big losses here, Mourinho's team is in a bad situation right now, on the other hand, Liverpool, the performance is getting better and better, which makes the outside world feel very realistic about this game, thinking that Liverpool should be able to win.

…………………… With two defeats and one draw, the Red Rebels had a disastrous start to the winter break, which led to a lot of fatigue and psychological pressure on the players, who were all desperate to win against Liverpool.

Sometimes, this desire is the driving force, but it is also the straw that breaks the camel's back.

For the current Red rebels, the biggest problem is physical fitness, as well as psychological fatigue, especially the latter point.

If physical fatigue can be fought with will and fighting spirit, then psychological fatigue is not even in the laboratory, they can use psychologists to regulate the psychological state of the players, but in such a dense schedule, the effect is minimal.

As the last game of 2005, no one wants to lose a win easily, and the Red Rebels can't afford to lose it, because Manchester United and Manchester City are eyeing them up, and if they lose one more game, they could tear the Red Rebels out of the top four of the league at any time and replace them.

Jose Mourinho is also aware of the current situation facing the team, and he wants to alleviate this situation, he has tried every possible way to stimulate the form of the players, but whether it is in training or against Tottenham, the players seem to be weak and unmotivated, but if you want to win against Liverpool, you have to change all this!

"I know you're working hard, because no one knows the responsibilities and pressures you have on you better than I do, and I know you're doing your best, but that's not enough, guys!" Jose Mourinho cheered on the players at an internal meeting of the team the day before he left for Liverpool.

"I've told you before, it's been a very, very, very tough season, even harder than last season, our opponents are getting stronger, we're going to play more games, and the spirit of our Red Rebels doesn't allow us to give up any event, so it's more demanding of us!"

'I'm glad we've done well even so far, guys, yes, I think you've done pretty well, we still have a chance of winning the title in all competitions, including the league, but only if we have to beat the mighty Liverpool, they've been doing really well lately, but we're never afraid of any opponent!"

"As long as we take the pressure and we persevere, we can beat ourselves......" Mourinho paused deliberately to catch the eyes of the players before continuing: "Then we can beat Liverpool, and then defeat other opponents, or even achieve a big league comeback and win the club's second Premier League title!" ”

Speaking of which, Mourinho slowly walked towards the players and looked over one by one.

"Peter? Petr Cech, you used to be known as the number one goalkeeper in the Premier League, but now, Reina has become famous, Liverpool fans even insult you, thinking that you are outdated, against Manchester United, 2 goals conceded, your performance was terrible, you were replaced by Reina in the list of goals conceded, I ask you, are you willing? ”

Cech gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously, "Not reconciled, sir! ”

"Well, since you're unwilling, what are you going to do?" Mourinho asked sharply.

"Shut them down! Stop anyone from scoring! ”

Mourinho stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand and pointed to a pair of his eyes, "I'm staring at you, looking at you!" ”

"And you, we have fought so hard until now, we have been wounded, we have shed blood, we have endured hardships, and we have survived tiredness, are you all willing to watch all our previous efforts in vain? Answer me, Are you willing? ”

"Unwilling!" The players responded in unison, and one by one they all stood up in unison.

"I'm also fucking unwilling, I keep telling myself that if I can play, I will kill those bastards and teach them a hard lesson, but I can't, but you can, you can play, and vent your unwillingness at will!"

'Against Liverpool, I only have one goal, to get all three points, do you have any confidence?'

"Yes!" The players answered in unison again!
