"It's so beautiful, Drogba, in the 36th minute of the first half, a beautiful turn, the opponent's central defender couldn't bear him at all, and could only watch him enter the penalty area, form a single knife, and score!" Andy? Gray exclaimed.

Martin on the side? Taylor also looked very excited, "We can see from the slow motion that Drogba was at the moment when he stopped the ball, his head was raised, obviously observing his teammates, and when he was sure that no one was answering, he chose to go it alone, and then we looked at it again, the moment he shot alone, he was very calm and composed!" ”

"There are a lot of media that describe Drogba as an African elephant, I think this is too vivid, he is the elephant king!"

"But, Andy, you know what? When Drogba first arrived in Manchester, their team-mates nicknamed him when they joked with him, you know what it was called? ”

Andy? Gray shook his head, he was a little concerned about the Red Rebels, but not Martin? Taylor is so fine that the latter is now a die-hard fan of the Red Rebels, and he is one of the commentators on almost every Red Rebels game live.

"Brother Rough!" Martin? Taylor laughed, "Every Red Rebels player will have their own song, such as Curtis's song, Kaka's song, Drogba's song is called the Song of Rough Drogba!" ”

"Why?" Andy? Gray asked with a strange smile.

"Because when he first arrived in Manchester, his technique was very rough, especially the shooting, there was a saying in the Red Rebels team at that time, that Drogba couldn't hit the elephant's ass with a shot from twelve yards, and at that time he was purely a center forward who relied on his body to eat, but we can see, the moment Drogba stopped the ball and turned around just now, it was too light, this is definitely the quality of a first-class center forward!"

Andy? Gray was a little surprised, "In this way, Drogba has made rapid progress in the past two years!" ”

"Yes, not only Drogba, but also many players in the Red Rebels have improved significantly, Curtis, Terry, Essien and others, even Juninho Jr.'s progress is also obvious, he is now more able to read the game, you see the one-to-two cooperation with Redondo just now, it is purely to play the other party like a wooden pillar!"

"It is because this team can help players continue to improve, so during the winter transfer period, many Premier League teams and foreign teams have taken a fancy to Drogba, but he still chose to stay, and the same situation is Essien and Curtis, etc., in recent years, in the face of the temptation of the giants, they have chosen to be loyal."

"It's an amazing team!" Andy? Gray praised.

…………………… Under the control of Redondo and Juninho Jr., the Red Rebels played patiently, especially after Drogba's goal.

The Red Rebels are playing away from home, and Mourinho thinks the opposition should be more anxious than himself.

On the contrary, it was Málaga, obviously, after the score was behind, the players in Málaga seemed more impatient, anxious to equalize, and the action was greater, but they never managed to threaten the Red Rebels' goal, but they made frequent mistakes, and were seized by the Red Rebels several times, but unfortunately failed to turn it into a goal.

Although Redondo did not have many physical confrontations on the field, he relied on experience to intercept the opponent's passing route several times, which attracted the cheers of the fans in the stands, and Drogba's goal just now also came from his pass, coupled with his control of the rhythm of the game in the midfield, so that at halftime, Redondo received the warmest cheers from the fans in the stands.

"Well done, Fernando!" Jose Mourinho did not shy away from his praise in the dressing room.

His side dominated the first half on the pitch against a Spanish side on the road, but the Red Rebels played a striking style of control.

It's like at the end of the first half, Andy? Gray said that in front of the Red Rebels, Malaga is more like an English team, while the Red Rebels are more like a Spanish team.

But Martin? Taylor added that he believes the Red Rebels' technicality is also a strong iron spirit, which allows the team to play both finger-twisting tricks and exciting games.

"How? Is it okay? Mourinho asked Redondo with concern.

The latter nodded, gasped, and said, "No problem, sir!" ”

"How about giving you another 20 minutes in the second half?" Mourinho asked, discussingly.

Redondo shook his head, "Can you have more?" ”

After saying that, he was a little sad, but very stubborn, "I know that there are many fans who came to watch me play, and I am afraid that this situation will not be many in the future, I hope that at least today, I can give them the best game I can!" ”

Redondo's words made the whole locker room immediately quiet, and they all had to admit that at the age of 34, he had already stepped out of the door of his career with one foot, and with Redondo's injury, his time on the pitch was running out.

"35 minutes, Fernando, it's the limit, you can't ask for more!" Mourinho was ruthless, he knew that if Redondo asked again, maybe he would relent, but he also knew very well that Redondo could not hold out for that long.

You know, for Redondo, the longer the fight lasts, the more damage it does to his knee.

"Thank you, sir!" Redondo was grateful.

At this time, Curtis, who was sitting next to Redondo, suddenly stood up.

"I think, Fernando, you should be a little bit more advanced in the second half and try to score a goal!"

Redondo was stunned for a moment, a flash of longing flashing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, but just as he was about to shake his head, Curtis continued.

"Don't worry, Fernando, defensively with me, and John, with Colo, Ribeiro, ......"

"And me!" Kaka also stood up, "I can also retreat to help defend!" ”

"yes, Fernando, you should go for a goal! We'll run even more and help you kill those Malaga bastards! Drogba also stood up and encouraged.

Immediately afterwards, the other players in the locker room also stood up and kept encouraging Redondo.

Redondo was obviously impressed, but looked at Mourinho, knowing that the manager is a man who attaches great importance to the tactical execution of the team, and as a midfielder, his main task is to control the game and organize the team's attack and defence.

'It's not your main responsibility to score goals in my set-up, but if you can score it that's good, but I hope we can continue to control the game in the second half!' Jose Mourinho was happy to see that atmosphere within the team, but he didn't show it.

There was an immediate burst of cheers in the locker room, and everyone gathered around Redondo, signaling under what situation he should step forward, how he would pass the ball, and so on.

…………………… Another 25 minutes passed and the score was 0:2, but alas, it was not Redondo who scored, but Hleb, who picked up Robben's breakthrough cross not long after the start of the second half, and scrambled to score at the back post.

Redondo was positive in the second half, with Hleb's goal and Redondo's big foot shift playing a key role, and he was also involved in both of the team's goals, making him one of the best performers for the Red Rebels in the game.

Málaga's players were also beaten by the Red Rebels, with their striker receiving a second yellow card for a serious foul and being sent off, giving the Red Rebels better control of the game.

But Redondo's goal never came!

"Ricardo, it's not okay to go on like this!" Curtis took advantage of Kaka's retreat to stop him.

"The boss only has 10 minutes left for Fernando, and it's too late if he doesn't score!"

Jose Mourinho is known for his words in the team, he says it is 35 minutes, then it must be 35 minutes, and as long as there are no mistakes in the game, then he will definitely replace Redondo on time for 35 minutes.

"What can I do then?" Kaka is also very helpless, scoring such a thing, it's not something that can come by saying it.

"Pass him more or make a penalty!"

Kaka nodded, ran to the front, and talked to several other frontcourt players about it, and everyone agreed with Curtis's words, and agreed on how to run, how to open the gap, and create opportunities for Redondo, who was inserted in the back row.

Curtis asked Redondo to step forward as much as possible, saying that the opponent replaced the striker, the attack was not strong, and the defense was fine.

So, in the next few minutes, I saw a very strange scene on the field, that is, the Red Rebels who had an absolute advantage pressed Malaga in the half, but did not take advantage of Drogba's high point in front of the goal, but frequently pulled out of the gap, passed the ball to the front of the penalty area and brought Redondo a long shot.

Redondo was also unlucky, with a few long-range shots either just wide or hitting the defenders.

"Oh my God, is it that hard to score a goal?" Curtis almost clutched his head and shouted.

Other players also saw that the opponent's penalty area was full of people, and it was not easy to score from a long shot, as for grabbing points in front of the goal, frankly speaking, Redondo's current physical condition, I am afraid that he has entered the penalty area, which is also the part of being ravaged by others.

Kaka, Robben and Ronaldo, who replaced Hleb, gave each other a look, and everyone knew it.

Since a long-range shot doesn't work, then simply cut inside, isn't there a lot of people in the penalty area? I'll go to a crowded place and use a little technique to see if I can make a penalty.

As a result, the players on the field frequently saw the players of the Red Rebels on the left, center and right lines frequently cut into the penalty area, one of them, Xiao Xiaoluo was tripped in the corner of the penalty area, but the referee ruled that it was a foul outside the penalty area, which made the Red Rebels players very excited to chase him theorize.

Redondo was behind, watching his teammates create opportunities for themselves one by one, and he felt as if something was blocked, his nose was sour, and it was strangely uncomfortable, but his heart was hot.

The fans in the stands also saw the intentions of the players, and began to shout the slogan of Redondo's goal constantly, at first it was just the fans of the Red Rebels who were shouting, and then even the fans of Spain's Redondo also joined, and finally it evolved into the whole stadium, and it was not clear who was shouting and who was not.

And in the midst of this shouting, when the time reached the 35th minute, Mourinho had already called De Rossi, who was about to be replaced, to warm up on the sidelines, but the situation on the field still did not change.

But just when De Rossi was standing on the sidelines, waiting for the dead ball to be replaced, Kaka suddenly broke through with the ball from the middle, and after connecting the two, he entered the penalty area, and the opponent's central defender subconsciously stretched his legs and tripped Kaka directly.

The audience was immediately in an uproar, and the whole stadium suddenly boiled.

All the fans, including the players, were waiting for the referee's decision, and the scene rang out with a thunderous [penalty...... Penalty] slogan!
