On November 21, the Red Rebels traveled to Greece to challenge Athens. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the Red Rebels have already confirmed the first place in the group in advance, Mourinho has arranged a lot of substitutes in this game, and the goalkeeper has also arranged a youth team youngster to replace Chris? Taylor starts.
In the 33rd minute of the game, in a very sparse and ordinary attack of Athens AEK, the goalkeeper of the Red Rebels, who started for the first time, made an inexplicable mistake and cleared the ball directly to the feet of the opposing striker Cesar.
As an opponent, Cesar certainly did not show mercy to the Red Rebels' mistakes, so he did not hesitate to score a goal ahead.
After that, Athens AEK used home advantage to threaten the Red Rebels' goal, but fortunately the back line of Thuram and Chiellini was solid and protected the penalty area, otherwise this game could have made a big score in the first half alone.
At half-time, Mourinho was not very happy with the young goalkeeper's performance and gave him encouragement in the dressing room in the hope that he could perform in the second half.
The Red Rebels equalized the score at the beginning of the second half, Walcott used his lightning speed in an anti-offside position to tear through the defense of Athens AEK, and after a single knife into the penalty area, he crossed the goalkeeper and pushed the empty goal, 1:1!
Speaking of this goal, we have to mention the assist from Cesc Fabregas!
When it came to the 48th minute, Cesc Fabregas moved to the right to get the ball, saw that no one was marking him, immediately dribbled forward, faced the left back of Athens AEK, a beautiful heel swipe, the body suddenly turned, slid past the opponent like a loach, completed a beautiful pass, and then assisted Walcott's goal.
After that, Cesc Fabregas performed very well, and had a beautiful through ball in the middle to assist Ismael to go down again, but before the final game, the goalkeeper was nervous, causing the opponent to shoot from a distance, which was missed by Cesar in front of the goal, and the supplementary shot was successful, and the final score was fixed at 2:2!
Although it was a draw, Cesc Fabregas was the best player of the match with his excellent performance.
In a post-match interview with the media, the Spaniard looked very shy when asked about his backheel pass, which was exactly the same as the one Redondo did against Manchester United in the 2000 Champions League.
'Yes, I've seen the video of that pass, it's amazing, it's natural, it's hard for me to think he's going to be in a midfielder, so I've been doing it over and over again in training, but on the pitch it's the first time I've used it, and it's great.
"Redondo is a very good teacher, he is the coach of our club, he helped me a lot, he told me a lot of details and truths about the midfield, I am very grateful to him, he made me understand that the midfielder can also play so artistically, he is my idol, but I don't think I am Redondo II, he is unique!"
"Michael? Johnson lost to me? Cesc Fabregas completely removed his shyness and replaced it with a smile, "No, I don't think so, we are very good friends, but there is inevitable competition between us, I don't think I'm better than him, he has his strengths, I have my strengths, Mr. Mourinho just chooses who to play according to the different opponents." ”
But even if Cesc Fabregas refuses to admit it, the improvement he has shown in the game is indeed greater than that of Michael? Johnson, especially his transformation since the beginning of the season, is a sign of a mature and steady Spanish midfielder, and Fabregas's improvement is very obvious in attack, organization and defense.
Michael? Johnson has improved a lot but has begun to lag behind Cesc Fabregas in the competition, but as Cesc Fabregas said, the Red Rebels academy youngster is not conceding defeat at all, and he is keen to change the ranking of the playmaker in Mourinho's mind with better training and fitness.
After this match, the rumor that Cesc Fabregas inherited the mantle of Redondo was widely circulated in European football, but at the same time, in the Argentine league in South America, Redondo II had already decided that it was Fernando? Gago.
Fernando of Boca Juniors? Gago, River Plate's striker Higuain, these are the two most outstanding hearts of Argentina this season, especially Higuain, who has EU nationality and at the same time has performed well, with his excellent performance in Boca against River Plate, Higuain became famous in a fight.
There are currently many teams chasing Higuain and Gago, which makes these two players more and more famous in Europe, and many big clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and other big clubs are currently linked with these two players, making everyone speculate that they will not stay in Argentina for too long.
…………………… After the Champions League, the Red Rebels returned to the league to take on Newcastle United.
As a traditional Premier League powerhouse, Newcastle's recent results have been up and down a lot, good and bad year after year, and this has been the case in recent seasons, and last year they almost reached the League Cup, but now they are near the relegation zone, and the situation can be said to be quite bad.
Newcastle's attack has been quite poor this season, but they have done well defensively, especially in the last two rounds, first a 0-0 draw away to Manchester City and then a 1-1 draw away to Arsenal, which has made Magpies fans look forward to a home game against the Red Rebels.
St James' Park has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Red Rebels are anticipating the difficulty of this game, especially Newcastle, who are desperate to change the status quo and bounce back to the top of the league, which is bound to cause problems for the Red Rebels at home.
Head coach Rhodes publicly said at the pre-match press conference that the strength of the Red Rebels is very strong, especially the offensive ability of this team, on the other hand, Newcastle is difficult to match with the Red Rebels, so he needs every player to be loyal and implement their own tactics in this game.
In fact, Newcastle's players did not disappoint Rod at all, they set up a very tight iron bucket formation in their own half from the first minute of the game, not conservative, but laid down heavy troops in the midfield, leaving Martins as a black lightning bolt in front, indicating that the carriage and horses were going to play counter-attacks.
The Red Rebels players are also determined to win their opponents after resting, especially after learning that Manchester United drew 1-1 at home to Chelsea, the Red Rebels are even more eager to increase the score again.
Jose Mourinho did quite a bit of work before the game and he made it clear to his players that he wanted a win.
But at the beginning of the game, Chris? A mistake by Taylor completely disrupted Mourinho's tactical arrangement.
Martins, who joined Newcastle at a high price and was branded as a black lightning with the label of parallel goods, tried his surname after the opening period, and there was no real threat at all from outside the penalty area, but it was obviously too nervous, and the action was a little stiff Chris? Taylor bent down on his knees to hold the ball tightly, but weirdly let the ball slip under his crotch and slowly rolled into the goal.
At this moment, even the Newcastle fans in the stands at St James' Park were incredulous, because they did not expect such a shot to result in a goal.
Chris? Taylor fell to the ground, and he clearly felt the doubts and distrust in the eyes of his teammates looking at him.
Yes, the England youngster could indeed cite his youth as a reason, but he couldn't hide that he was not mentally qualified enough to take on such a heavy responsibility, and he made an unforgivable mistake.
This mistake not only caused the Red Rebels to fall behind at the beginning of the game, but also greatly damaged the morale of the Red Rebels players, and even Mourinho on the sidelines was so angry that he slapped his forehead hard and looked up to the sky and sighed, showing his helplessness and depression at this moment.
Martins' shot is not very powerful and the route is very direct, Chris? Taylor had already figured out the position, but it was unbelievable that there had been such an incredible mistake.
At this moment, Mourinho must have moved the idea of changing the main goalkeeper.
But looking at the Red Rebels youth team, can they replace Chris? With Taylor's goalkeeper in the running aloof and Mourinho can only hope to pick a replacement from the youth squad.
Should it be said, Chris? Taylor, who is the team's third-choice goalkeeper, has featured in some cup competitions from time to time, and he has performed well in both the development squad and the youth team, but the first team is a very different world.
From a professional point of view, Chris? Taylor's physical fitness is good, and his basic skills are quite solid, but his psychological quality is not enough, so that his performance is always good and bad, and even in a game, he staged a community of angels and devils, which is absolutely fatal for the goalkeeper!
As a goalkeeper, there are three important factors that must be had, one is concentration, which is especially important for the goalkeepers of the giants, after all, the top team is stronger, and it is likely to suppress the opponent all over the field, so that the opponent does not shoot many times in normal games, and there are fewer threats, only concentration can ensure that the goal is not conceded.
Second, the psychological quality should be hard enough, every goalkeeper must make a judgment at the moment when the opponent makes a move, which has high requirements for psychological quality, according to statistics, but where the hesitant goalkeeper is often more likely to cause the goal to be conceded, but those resolute goalkeepers are more likely to succeed.
Finally, if you want to be a top goalkeeper, you have to have a stable surname, and an inconsistent goalkeeper is not trustworthy at all, which is why Dida has always struggled to be among the top goalkeepers.
Only with these three elements, coupled with excellent goalkeeper skills, can we create an excellent top goalkeeper, otherwise, even if the goal-line skills are excellent, the concentration is not enough, the psychological quality is not strong enough, and the state is not stable enough, it is still a butter hand, untrustworthy, and embarrassing.
Chris? That's the problem with Taylor, otherwise he definitely has the potential to be a top goalkeeper with his technical and physical qualities.
Of course, Mourinho vs. Chris? Taylor made such a judgment, not that he can't become a top goalkeeper in the future, after all, everyone will improve, if as he gets older, with more experience, Chris? Taylor can get rid of his current problems and have a chance to be among the top goalkeepers in the future.
It has been said that goalkeepers are generally at their peak between 25-35. Taylor is only 18 years old, and he has a long way to go, and what kind of achievements he can achieve depends on him personally.
But it is obviously impossible for the Red Rebels to give him such a test field again!
…………………… Although there was a mistake that caused a goal to be conceded, Chris? Taylor went on to do well, keeping out a couple of Newcastle shots, but was unable to salvage another defeat.
1-0, Newcastle upset the Red Rebels at home, and also pulled the Red Rebels off the league leader.
As Martin after the game? As Samuel said in his column, put all the blame on Chris? Taylor was unfair, but it must be admitted that he made such an unbelievable mistake just two minutes after the opening kick-off, and the impact on the team was indelible, which, combined with Newcastle's tenacious defence, meant the Red Rebels kept a clean sheet for the first time this season.
"From Casey? Keller has been injured until now, Chris? Taylor has shown in many games that it will be difficult for him to take on the role of the Red Rebels' main goalkeeper, after all, not all of them are Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon and Petr Cech, and not all goalkeepers can pick the door of a top club at a young age. ”
"More goalkeepers than talented goalkeepers like Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon and Petr Cech, learn from making mistakes and making mistakes, Chris? Taylor is only 18 years old, and it would be unfair to ask him to suddenly take on the responsibilities of the Red Rebels, so I think the best thing for the Red Rebels at the moment is to bring in a quality goalkeeper as soon as possible during the winter break, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
This is also the evaluation of the Red Rebels by the mainstream media in Europe.
After a week's rest for Newcastle, Mourinho picked another 17-year-old goalkeeper from the youth squad as Chris? Taylor's substitute travelled to take on Liverpool away.
But in this game, Chris? Taylor, however, was solid, and although he made a few mistakes, he fortunately did not make a big mistake, but after the team took the lead, he made a few good saves in the face of Liverpool's attack, while the Red Rebels beat Liverpool 0-1 away with a goal from Ronaldo.
After this game, Chris? Taylor was praised by the media, thinking that he had gone through the last round of downturn and was resurrected this round, but for these media, the Red Rebels did not dare to give affirmation, because these media are like this, when they perform well, they become gods, and when they perform badly, they are garbage, which is very realistic!
And in the course of this game, Chris? Taylor's goal always gives people a sense of insecurity and anxiety, as if it could be breached at any time, fearful, very bad, which also makes the Red Rebels dare not invest too many troops in the attack.
After this key battle, Mourinho asked the Ministry of Commerce for the first time to finalize the goalkeeper transfer as soon as possible!
