Strictly speaking, this should be the first game of the Red Rebels in China, so the entire Hongkou Stadium is full, and countless fans can't wait to see this legendary team in the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the Red Rebels did not disappoint the fans in this game, although three players in the team did not play because of injuries, although the players have just gone through more than half a month of devil training, and their physical condition has not yet adjusted, although Mourinho's training is more important than the result of the game, but the Red Rebels still won the first warm-up game.
3:0, the Red Rebels completely let everyone see the gap between each other!
You know, the Shanghai team has just finished a Chinese Super League and ushered in a two-week break, during which time they are in better physical condition than the Red Rebels, and this team has many of the best stars in the country.
However, in the case of occupying the right time and place, the Red Rebels still easily won the game.
The whole game was under the control of the Red Rebels, and in the first half, Ronaldo took the lead with a direct free-kick, and then Messi was not to be outdone, after connecting two people on the right flank, and combined with Kaka, the Brazilian superstar assisted Drogba to score a goal.
Kaka has been out for a season, for which he has always felt very remorseful, so during the summer break, he returned to the team half a month early to prepare, which made him very active in the first half of this game, almost dominating the game, and the direct set-piece opportunity of Ronaldo was also brought by Kaka's pass.
But in the second half, Mourinho replaced Kaka with Ozil, and then replaced Drogba with Aguero, and the Red Rebels' attacking lineup immediately changed, with Ronaldo Jr., Aguero and Messi, plus Ozil in the back, four players formed an attacking phalanx in the front.
Such a change did make the Shanghai team a little unbearable, after all, these players are very good individually, and they cooperate with each other skillfully, but only Ozil is a little rusty, but with the combination of Xiao Xiaoluo, Messi and Aguero, the Red Rebels still firmly control the situation on the field, of which Messi scored a world wave in the 57th minute of the second half.
After taking a 3-0 lead, Mourinho made another big substitution, and substitutes such as Walcott and Di Maria were represented one after another, and these players also held their breath and wanted to win more impression points for themselves in the pre-season warm-up games, so as to be able to make Mourinho look good.
However, after this warm-up match, several players from the Red Rebels will be selected for the Olympic team to prepare for the upcoming Yenching Olympics in August, which is a major event.
Previously, the Brazilian Olympic team called to ask if the Red Rebels could allow Kaka to represent the Brazilian team as an overage player, but the Red Rebels coaching staff finally rejected the request of the Brazilian Olympic team after an in-depth conversation with Kaka, after all, he had just returned from injury and was in urgent need of competition training.
But Davide, the fullback in the Red rebel army? Thornton, who was promoted by the Italian Olympic team to the 18-man roster, will be on his way to a training camp after the game.
In addition, the Argentine Olympic team also sent a call-up, because Maradona maneuvered around, the Red Rebels finally allowed the call-up of the Argentine Olympic team, and the other side pulled in three Red Rebel stars in one go, namely Messi, Aguero and Di Maria.
Nissilia was a sign to Mikel, who was an age-appropriate player and the Red Rebels could do nothing about it, but they refused Ivory Coast's request to recruit Drogba as an overage player.
Just kidding, Messi, Aguero and Di Maria are missing all of a sudden, if Drogba leaves, then the Red Rebels really don't have to play, and what will happen to the entire league in August?
But when it comes to the Yenching Olympics, the Red Rebels should also be grateful to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
England's youth development has been doing well over the past few seasons, beating Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in the 2007 UEFA Under-21 national team competition, which allowed England to qualify for the 2008 Yenching Olympics.
Michael in the current Red Rebel Army? Johnson, Ismael, Walcott, Mika? Richards is a player of the right age for the England squad, and if England also competes in the Yenching Olympics at this time, the Red Rebels will undoubtedly have more than half of the players drawn away, and the situation facing the team will be dangerous.
However, according to the rules of the Olympic Games, a team must be formed in the form of a national team to qualify, although England won the European Under-21 championship, but could not represent Great Britain, because Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland did not recognize the status of England's national team, and did not agree to organize the British team, so England automatically disqualified, replaced by the U21 European Youth Championship fifth place Italy U21.
From this point of view, the Red Rebels can undoubtedly be regarded as the aftermath of the catastrophe!
However, with the next Olympics to be held in London, there have been many calls for the Football Associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to organise a British team to compete in the bigger picture, as it would be a joke if there were no British teams at the London Olympics.
…………………… After playing a warm-up match with the Shanghai team, the Red Rebels did not leave Shanghai immediately, but continued to stay here, and played another warm-up match with the training National Olympic team.
After this warm-up game, Mourinho tactfully put forward some suggestions of his own, and politely said that he was very optimistic about the strength of the national Olympic team, but in fact, in private, he did not evaluate this team well.
But no matter what, the Red Rebels went to Yanjing immediately after playing this warm-up game.
On the second day of the Red Rebels' arrival in Yanjing, the team officially announced that it would buy American veteran Friedel from Blackburn for 2 million euros, but this acquisition did not attract much attention from the outside world, after all, everyone can see that this acquisition is just an acquisition made by the Red Rebels in order to enhance the depth of the goalkeeper's bench.
Although he was once a brilliant goalkeeper in the Premier League, Friedel's peak has undoubtedly passed, and now that he has begun to enter the end of his career, he has not thought about any more brilliant results, and chasing Kessie? Keller's back, with the Red Rebels as the last stop of his career, is undoubtedly a good result.
Of course, the Red Rebels' purchase of Friedel was not without commercial considerations. After Keller joined, the influence of the Red Rebels in the North American market has increased, and now that Beckham has retired, the influence of the Red Rebels in the United States has weakened, and the introduction of Friedel has continued to strengthen this consideration.
For the coaching staff, Friedel's ability is what they value, and everyone believes he will be the most formidable replacement for Cech as he is still ageing.
At the same time that the Red Rebels bought Friedel, the shirt numbers of the Red Rebels' first team were also revised.
Beckham, Thuram, Pato, Adler and Arshavin, either retired or transferred, the shirt numbers left by these players are vacant, how to arrange?
At present, the Red Rebels have brought in two players, namely Mesut? Ozil and Brad? Friedel, both players have not yet confirmed their shirt numbers and have not officially met the fans at the Red Rebels Stadium, but their shirt numbers have already been finalized.
Among them, as a goalkeeper, Friedel's jersey number is easier to choose, and he directly chose the No. 25 jersey, which is also the jersey number of the Red Rebels' first-team substitute goalkeeper. Keller, and René? Adler wears this jersey number.
But David Beckham's number 23 shirt is a problem.
Since this season, the Premier League has also started to use a 25-man registration list in order to prevent Premier League teams from registering a large number of players as before, and once this list is registered, there can be no non-registered players in the Premier League except for the youngsters of the academy, which is also to prevent some big teams from having too bloated first-team squads.
So who should the No. 23 jersey be given to, which has also attracted a lot of attention from the outside media, after all, this is the jersey handed down by Beckham, as a legendary star who created a time of his own in the Red Rebels, taking over this jersey is undoubtedly equivalent to becoming Beckham's successor.
In terms of the heir to the jersey number, Beckham suggested that Michael? Johnson, he looks like David Beckham in terms of position and style, and he is also a youth player of the club, he is a pure person, and it is only fitting that he will inherit Beckham's shirt.
However, there are also those who believe that the No. 23 jersey has a high commercial value, but Michael? Johnson clearly doesn't have the idol qualities of David Beckham, so it was suggested that Theo Walcott, or Aguero wearing the number 22 shirt, was proposed.
However, when Mourinho was in Kunming, he was with Kassel and Marc? David and Walsh and others discussed it, and the final decision was decided by Michael? Johnson came to inherit, which also shows the club's competitive philosophy, after all, Michael? Johnson is the most suitable candidate for David Beckham's successor, both in the Red Rebels and in the national team.
Aguero's jersey number is still 22, Mark? David also did not support him changing his number, because kun22 has a high level of recognition throughout Europe and even the world, and Aguero's rash change of number will undoubtedly bring some trouble.
And Ozil, who joined later, took over Michael? Johnson's No. 20 shirt last season, while Pato's No. 17 shirt went to Red Rebels Academy youngster Jack? In Rodwell's case, the Academy graduate has been promoted to the first team this season and will be the team's fourth centre-back.
Mourinho is very optimistic about this youngster, he can not only play central defender, but also play at the back, excellent physical fitness, excellent technique and awareness, is a very pure Red Rebels academy youngster, with the unique style of the Red Rebels Academy, was crowned with the title of Curtis II.
Curtis is only 23 years old this year, Rodwell is 17 years old, a difference of 6 years, which is a very reasonable age stratification, and Terry is 28 years old, Vidic is 27 years old, plus a 20-year-old Maika who can play at central defense? Richards, the Red Rebels' centre-back mix has a reasonable age group.
This is also related to the arrangement of the coaching staff, fully taking into account the metabolism of the team, after all, in a few years, Rodwell and others will begin to mature, Terry and Vidic will be old, Curtis and Mika? Richards is in his prime, and the team is well placed to go through a new round of metabolism.
It's not just the centre-backs, it's all the same.
For example, the center forward, Drogba is 30 years old, Mourinho has fully considered his successor, after all, Drogba's form declined a lot last season due to injury, and the 21-year-old Ismael rose quickly, and the 20-year-old Aguero, both players have grown rapidly, and in two years, they can take over Drogba's class.
And don't forget, there is also a Lukaku in the academy with the name of a little monster, and the Brazilian prodigy Nimar, these two players are now 15 and 16, and they can grow up quickly in the next five years.
In addition, full-back, Zambrotta, 31, has already stated that the 08/09 season will be his last season with the Red Rebels, and he hopes to return to Italy to retire, so in the following season, Mourinho will focus on Davide? Thornton and Fabio, hopefully these two players can grow and improve as soon as possible.
Evra is 27 years old, Davide? Thornton was 17 years old, Fabio was 18, and in a few years' time, when Evra began to decline, Thornton and Fabio were just in time to take over the work.
It can be said that in terms of the age distribution of the team, the coaching staff of the Red Rebels can be said to have taken great pains to ensure that the team's first-team lineup is a perfect combination of old, middle and young, so as to minimize the team's metabolic losses.
For this point, the lesson of the Red Rebels is Real Madrid at the beginning of the century, when the Galaxy Battleship was surprising and invincible, but it did not do enough in metabolism, which made Real Madrid fall into a long-term low ebb, and it was not until the last two seasons that it improved, reaching the Champions League semifinals, but it still could not recover to the strength at the beginning of the century.
Whether it is in terms of average age or age distribution, the Red Rebels have always adhered to a principle, that is, they must keep their combat effectiveness in the best condition, and Mourinho has gone through the past few years, under the influence of the Red Rebels and Xiao Yu, he is now more and more like the godfather of the Red Rebels, and attaches great importance to youth training.
Therefore, after the retirement of David Beckham and Thuram, and the departure of Pato, Mourinho's first consideration was to promote the academy rather than buy them, which further strengthened the atmosphere of unity within the Red Rebels.
When the Red Rebels arrived in Yanjing, the publicity about the Red Rebels Charity Night was already in full swing, and the next two warm-up matches of the Red Rebels pushed this charity party to the forefront, especially the match between the Red Rebels and the national team, and the Red Rebels finally ended the last warm-up game with a score of 2:0.
And after this game, all eyes were on the Red Rebels Charity Night.
