341 Metamorphosis
The new Maradona is coming to Manchester!
Maradona II shocked the audience, and the legend of 5 people reappeared!
The new Zidane shines all over the field, and the flying immortals capture Old Trafford!
…… For a while, the whole of Europe was shocked by this Red Devils derby, not because of the score of this game.
1:2, this is definitely not a surprising score, but it has a surprising process!
In the first 80 minutes, the Red Rebels were at a disadvantage, being suppressed by Manchester United, and at the same time, the lack of a man, coupled with the injury of the main right winger Palacio, made matters worse, Mourinho had to gamble to replace a young player who had just turned 16.
Remember his name, Leo? Messi, an Argentine, has the standard height of an Argentine superstar, the exquisite footwork of Argentine legends, and the excellent physical qualities that his Argentine peers lack.
A rising Argentine star who has been in Manchester for many years, under the noses of tens of thousands of Old Trafford fans, reproduced Maradona's exquisite footwork, running alone on the half, past Manchester United's proud backline, this goal completely shattered the confidence of Manchester United players.
But that's not the end of it!
Next, a Brazilian, Kaka, a Brazilian international who has already made a name for himself in Europe, scored another goal for the Red Rebels with a volley from a large penalty area in the last minute before the end, which was as difficult as Zinedine Zidane's kick back then.
Two flashes of genius beat the arrogant Red Devils and handed the Red Rebels another win of the season, their seventh since promotion to the Premier League, and they are the only two teams in the Premier League to remain unbeaten, one is Arsenal and the other is the Red Rebels.
…… On the second day, Sky TV even produced a commentary program dedicated to the game, focusing on the two goals in the final moments of the game, as well as the battle of wits between Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho during the game.
There is no doubt that it is clear to everyone that Mourinho lost to Alex Ferguson in this game, who after the defeat in the Community Shield, rearranged his tactics against the Red Rebels, and also restrained the Red Rebels well.
But genius is undoubtedly a special presence that breaks through all tactical limitations, and the Red Rebels relied on the excellent performances of two of the talents in the squad to defeat the Red Devils twice at Old Trafford.
Martin, who was specially invited by Sky TV? Taylor commented that Messi is another rising star cultivated in the Red Rebels academy, he has a delicate technique and footwork that many Argentine players do not have, and he is very adaptable to the physical confrontation of the Premier League, and the speed may not be the fastest, but he can create the illusion by cleverly changing the speed and direction, making people feel as if he is very fast.
"He's going to be a phenomenal genius, I believed that a long, long time ago!" Martin? Taylor commented confidently that he had watched Messi grow up step by step in the past few years, and he knew Messi's talent.
"And what about the Brazilian Kaka?"
Martin? Taylor smiled, "He's different from Zidane, his speed and explosiveness are fast, and this year, I can clearly feel his improvement, he used to rely more on his speed, but now it's more about changing direction and speed, which is part of the Red Rebels' academy system, but also considering his physical load, after all, speed players are always linked to injuries, such as Owen." "Kaka is very capable of scoring, he used to play as a second striker, this season Mourinho obviously wants to highlight his scoring ability, put him up the front position, give him the role of commander up front, and he has done a great job, he is one of the best players for the Red Rebels at the moment, and he will also be a phenomenal talent, although his talent is already known!"
At this time, there was a clip of the interview that Mourinho gave at the post-match press conference in the program, he believes that Messi and Kaka's two goals are worth a thousand gold, they are very exciting, full of genius creativity, and are works of art, but he denied that he will let Messi play the main force in the future.
"He is still young, what he needs is gradual, not to pull out the seedlings, I talk to Leo about everything, we all know very well, he does not have the requirements to be the main force for the time being, what he needs is continuous improvement, he is not Maradona, Maradona's era is over, but Leo is only 16 years old!"
'Hehe, Jose Mourinho is an interesting manager and I guess Ferguson must be happy to have such an opponent because Wenger can't fight him like this in a game!' Footage comes to the celebration of Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson during the game. Taylor burst out laughing.
"I think Mourinho is a very strong manager, his progress has been especially obvious in the past few years, I still remember when he first took over the Red Rebels, he was questioned, but he quickly adjusted his thinking and turned the Red Rebels into a defensive iron army, look at the Red Rebels' defense over the past few years, you have to be impressed by Mourinho's training ability!"
"But the Red Rebels' offense has been very sharp in recent seasons!" The host laughed.
"That's different," Martin? Taylor shook his head, "In the early days, the Red Rebels lacked skills and played simply and roughly, but as the players became familiar with Mourinho's coaching philosophy, the number of off-ball runs increased, and the coordination of passing and receiving also increased, and by last year, the team's skills and tactics have matured, and they are familiar with the ability to control the game, so they can slaughter Lazio 4-0 at home or draw 0-0 away." ”
"I think the most obvious change in the Red Rebels this year comes from Beckham, this player has changed to a back this season, showing very different characteristics from his time at Manchester United, running, playing, protecting the ball, short passes, controlling the tempo, etc., he is improving almost every game, obviously the Red Rebels coaching staff has successfully tapped his potential, and he has not lost his original characteristics, diagonal long passes and free kicks have made many contributions at critical moments, and the defense is tacit cooperation with Essien, he is almost omnipotent, I even suggested that Eriksen should learn from Mourinho's use of David Beckham, England lack a player who can control the tempo of the team, and then everyone plays around Beckham, like the Red Rebels! ”
"If you had to pick the best player in the first nine rounds of the Premier League, who would you choose?"
"David Beckham, then Henry and Kaka!"
It's similar to Sky's player selection, in which David Beckham was voted first, Thierry Henry was second, Kaka was fourth, and the top 10 players were three Red Rebels and the other was Curtis, who was 10th.
After the Super Cup defeat against AC Milan, Curtis has transformed a lot in the following games, whether it is in the offensive or defensive end, he has become a lot more solid and sophisticated, especially after Terry has been banned recently, Curtis has become a drag central defender, Vidic is at the front, and he still completes the task very well.
Mature and sophisticated is what the experts say about Curtis, and it's hard to believe that he is only 18 years old, but he has shown a very mature leadership temperament, and he is the core of the Red Rebels' defence.
In the Premier League goalkeeper rankings, Cech was elected first, not only because he conceded the fewest goals, but also because his performance was really good, and now no one will question Xiao Yu's choice to give him a special genius clause, everyone is admiring Xiao Yu's insight, bringing a talented goalkeeper to the Red Rebels.
…………………… Within the Red Rebels, the coaching staff is very happy with the current state of the team, the team is more calm and experienced than last season, but there is no lack of youthful energy and sharpness, which is a good phenomenon, especially after the Super Cup defeat against AC Milan, all the players are very aware of their shortcomings and adjust their mentality.
This has allowed the Red Rebels to continue their striumph in the Premier League.
After beating Manchester United, the Red Rebels are second in the league with 23 points from 7 wins and 2 draws, one point ahead of Manchester United and two points behind Arsenal.
Three days after the Red Devils derby with Manchester United, the Red Rebels host promoted Malecester City.
In this game, Mourinho made some adjustments to the main lineup in consideration of the tough battle with Manchester United, but Villa, who started in place of Drogba, performed well and scored one goal, while Beckham also penetrated the door of Leicester City with a long-range shot from the back row to help the team win 2-0 over the promoted brothers.
On October 29, in the third round of the League Cup, the Red Rebels challenged Nods County away, which was a game that was not taken seriously by Mourinho, because the league competition was very tight during this time, and the second round of the League Cup was about to be ushered in, so Mourinho decided to give up the League Cup.
To this end, including Ismail, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, John? Obi? Mikel, Giorgio Chiellini and others all started the game, but it was this group that played a good game again in the Carabao Cup.
Messi continued his brilliant performance after coming off the bench in the last game, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists, Ismael and John? Obi? Mikel scored a goal each to help the Red Rebels win a Carabao Cup 3-0 and advance to the fourth round.
This also made the coaching staff a little overjoyed, but the excellent performance of the young players is also a good thing for the team, so Mourinho praised the young players and encouraged them to play better.
Upon his return to Manchester, Mourinho immediately led his team to Middlesbrough.
This is a team that was considered to be relegation-free but not very competitive before the season, and as experts had said about them before the season, they lost Graimi on loan from Real Madrid and their right side almost turned into a thoroughfare for the Red Rebels.
Mourinho decided to press him because of the red card for Ronaldo's game against Manchester United, so Robben started in his place in this game, and the latter immediately showed very strong strength, and suddenly the right side of Middlesbrough could not be found.
3-0, Beckham, Palacio, and Ismael, who came on in place of Drogba, scored a goal each, and it was also Ismail's first Premier League goal.
However, in Leeds, north of Manchester, Arsenal beat Leeds United 4-1 away, a victory that also made Leeds United, heavily indebted, and even some pessimists worried that Leeds United might be relegated.
