After playing Sunderland, the Red Rebels rushed to the away stadium to take on Championship side Wigan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is another Greater Manchester team, promotion to the Premier League this season is good, if he does promote to the Premier League, then Manchester will undoubtedly become the most famous football zone in the whole of England, because there will be a number of Premier League teams, including the Red Rebels, Manchester United, Manchester City, Droysden, Wigan and Bolton, a total of 6 Premier League teams.

Coupled with nearby Blackburn Rover, Leeds United, and two teams in the nearby Liverpool city, the area around Manchester has almost become the core of English football, which has also made countless British football teenagers gather in this area.

Of course, a large part of the rise of these regions has a lot to do with the construction of the youth training system network proposed by Xiao Yu back then, and the nearby teams are precisely the best clubs in England's youth training.

Wigan is also almost all a ghost, and the biggest player in the team is goalkeeper Kirkland from Liverpool, who was once selected for the England national team as Wigan's chief goalkeeper and captain of the Wigan team this season.

The proximity of the distance, coupled with the low attendance of the small town of Wigan, and the lack of too many restrictions on the visiting fans, made more than 10,000 Red Rebels fans not hesitate to follow the team to the away game, completely turning Wigan's home stadium into the home of the Red Rebels.

Jose Mourinho did not change his tactics because of the support of the fans, and he still started the game with a large number of young players and substitutes.

Goalkeeper Brad? Friedel, who also made his first start for the Red Rebels this season; From left to right, the backline is Thornton, Nemanja Vidic, Rodwell and Mika? Richards, the double back is Aaron? Ramsey and Mikel, Wilshere up front, Walcott on the left wing, Mesut Ozil on the right, and Drogba as the lone striker.

When Mourinho announced his starting line-up in the dressing room, it was clear that he saw some of the young players disappointed, but there was no way, the football world is so cruel, Fabio, Rafael and Lukaku were all put on the bench by him, and some of the main players were not even in the squad and were left in Manchester.

After announcing the starting line-up, Mourinho did not announce the disbandment, but took over a captain's armband from Kassel's hands, and everyone clearly saw that it was the captain's armband of the Red Rebels.

Originally, according to the custom, the Red Rebels appointed four captains, all of whom would wear the captain's armband according to their ranking, but this time, none of the four captains came to Vigan with the team, so Mourinho had to pick a captain's armband to wear from among the existing players.

"Didier!" Jose Mourinho walked up to Drogba with the captain's armband.

Gently patted Drogba's left arm, the latter lifted it gently, and Mourinho personally brought him the captain's armband, which was neatly arranged to show the importance he attached to it.

"In this game, you are our captain and the vice-captain is Nemanja Vidic, don't let the fans who came with us away, don't let me down, you know?"

Drogba's eyes flashed with excitement, and Vidic turned even redder and nodded incessantly.

Both players have been with the Red Rebels for many years, especially Didier Drogba, who was in trouble with a move at the start of the season, but now, Mourinho not only kept him, but also gave him the captain's armband, which fully shows how much Mourinho values him, which makes Drogba excited.

As for Vidic, in front of Terry and Curtis, the Serbian does not seem so conspicuous, but Mourinho is well aware that Vidic has the quality, if it were not for the Red Rebels, he could have been the core of the defense in any team in the world, but he has always been loyal to the team.

Over the years, it has not been without other teams seeking Vidic, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and other top giants, but Vidic has not chosen to leave, he has always stayed in Manchester, which fully proves his love for the team.

Many people are surprised by the Red Rebels' transfer strategy, but Mourinho is proud of it.

If it weren't for the team that tapped and nurtured the players when they were at their junior, would they have such a deep affection and loyalty to the team?

"Good job, guys, it's only the League Cup, but I only have one request for you!" Mourinho shouted.

"Victory!" Drogba clenched his fists and roared.

"Victory! Victory! The players yelled.

…………………… Despite only the Carabao Cup and just a week of double matches, the Red Rebels players showed a lot of fighting spirit on the pitch and maintained a very good level of fitness.

Drogba was excited to start the game for the first time this season, and he didn't disappoint, just 11 minutes after picking up the ball with his back to Nimar and then turning and volleying into a volley that Kirkland could only look at and sigh.

After 0:1, the Red Rebels continued to make persistent efforts, Nimar on the left and Ozil on the right showed strong individual skills, and did a very good job in breaking through and cooperating, coupled with Wilshere's tandem and response, the Red Rebels' frontcourt offensive combination showed strong attacking firepower.

In the 20th minute, Ozil crossed the penalty area diagonally after a beautiful ball on the right side, and Wilshere inserted a shot in the back row to break the goal of the Wigan team again for the Red Rebels, rewriting the score to 0:2!

But obviously, Ozil is still not satisfied, he cut into the penalty area after the anti-offside position in the 24th minute, received Nimar's cross, calmly pushed in the face of the empty goal, and rewrote the score to 0:3!

The German youngster continued his impressive performances with the Red Rebels, not only in the national team, but also in the Red Rebels this season, especially in terms of his versatility up front.

Striker, left winger, right winger, Ozil can play in any position, and he has performed very well in every position, showing amazing skills, plus he is in a super club like the Red Rebels, and his every move is naturally attracting the attention of the world, which makes Ozil famous.

His first 30 minutes were perfect, and it wasn't until Wigan made tactical changes to strengthen the defence at the back that he was contained, and the Red Rebels' offensive slowed down slightly, but they still controlled the situation on the pitch.

After the break, Mourinho made adjustments to the situation on the field, and at the beginning of the second half, the Red Rebels once again played a fierce offensive, and in the 58th minute, Drogba scored again, rewriting the score to 0:4!

Jose Mourinho then made a substitution, replacing Didier Drogba with Romelu Lukaku, and the Ivorian was cheered on by the Red Rebels fans in the stadium, who excitedly ripped off his captain's armband, waved it at the fans in the stands, and then personally put it on for Vidic, hugging and encouraging his team-mates.

"Well done, Didier!" Jose Mourinho took the initiative to hug Drogba as he walked off the pitch, and in this game, with Drogba's two goals, the Red Rebels had already sealed the victory in advance.

Seeing Drogba receive this kind of heroic treatment, the Red Rebels players on the field all felt a sense of encouragement, and they all burst out of their hearts with a fighting spirit, envious of Drogba's experience, and hoped that they would be able to be like him in the future.

Vidic was solid and unobtrusive but firmly controlled the situation on the pitch and did not give Wigan's forward line any chances, even if their striker was Heselink from the Netherlands, but the Serb kept a clean sheet for the Red Rebels.

For a central defender, he doesn't need to be in front of the camera anytime and anywhere, and he doesn't need to be in the limelight, as long as he silently protects the back line and doesn't let the opponent easily break through his defensive zone, this is enough.

There is no doubt that Vidic has done his job in this game, he has always been so low-key, but he is doing his duty as captain in his own way.

After the game, Mourinho highlighted a number of young players in the dressing room, but also was pleased with the performance of the senior players, who he believes that despite the large rotation of the starting line-up, the team still showed a strong fighting ability, which will give him more options for his rotation strategy this season.

But Mourinho's good news was clearly more than just a cup victory, as he was immediately invited to Xiao Yu's office after returning to Manchester.

........................ "Well, who can tell me what the hell is going on with us in such a hurry?" ”

With Kassel, as soon as he walked into Xiao Yu's office, Mourinho looked anxious.

There is a Premier League game on Saturday and the team travels south to London tomorrow to face Tottenham Hotspur, and the team led by the elder Redknapp is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Mourinho must get to work as soon as possible.

"Surely we wouldn't dare bother you without a reasonable explanation, José? Mr. Mourinho! "Mark? David jokingly stood up and invited Mourinho and the two to sit down like a gentleman, and the scene was a bit funny.

"Hey, Jim, if I'm not mistaken, we shouldn't be fooled today, right?" Mourinho turned his head to the side and asked Cassel next to him with a smile.

Cassel shook his head, "Who knows?" ”

Everyone immediately laughed, with the Red Rebels winning one after another, the team was in good condition in all aspects, and everyone was able to laugh happily together, which was undoubtedly what Xiao Yu was very happy to see.

He always hopes that the atmosphere of the team can be more lively, and the positive emotions will always be more relatable and creative than the negative emotions, and it can also make the staff more motivated and more positive.

"Alright, José, I'll answer your question!" Xiao Yu replied with a smile.

"First of all, there are two good news, one internal and one external, which one do you want to hear?"

Hearing that Xiao Yu was selling Guanzi, Mourinho turned his head to the side and pouted, "Let's talk about the internal first, I pay more attention to this!" ”

Everyone immediately laughed again, everyone knew that the internal affairs of the Red Rebels were closely related to Mourinho.

"We have approved the suggestion made by you and the laboratory to hire a number of psychologists, and we have decided to equip the team with five more professional psychologists to serve our entire team, including the first team and the youth team."

At present, the staff of the Red Rebels is very complete and manpowered, but Mourinho and Professor Flair still have some opinions on psychological counseling, thinking that there is a shortage of manpower, and hope to be equipped with a few more psychology experts to serve the team, and at the same time, they can also find time to go to schools that cooperate with the Red Rebels youth training system to provide free psychological counseling for students. ”

There is one thing that I am reluctant to admit, but I have to admit, that is, many of the teenagers who play football are often from the bottom of the society, and they are often accompanied by all kinds of problems, which can easily cause distortions and quirks in their surnames, and the Red Rebels hope to help them in these aspects, whether they can become talents in the future or not.

"That's great news, isn't it?" Mourinho laughed.

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, "Jose, I know that the team is in good shape at the moment, and we have won all the games this season, but I still have to remind you that victory is not everything, we must stay rational and calm at all times, and we can't let optimism, pride, and arrogance occupy us." ”

"It's a good thing to win all the games, but behind the win is likely to turn into a huge psychological burden for the players, so I have very high professional requirements for the group of psychologists hired this time, and I hope to help the team in this regard."

Mourinho, who was still smiling, suddenly lost his smile and nodded incessantly, "Don't worry, I know how to do it!" He was very glad that Xiao Yu had always maintained his sanity and calmness until this time.

In the world of football, the management of many teams is rational in their pursuit of victory, but once they reach the top and achieve results, they start to become uncool and start to make some incredible judgments, which leads to a decline in the team's results.

Mourinho was glad for what had happened to him, because he had met Xiao Yu, the Red Rebels, and a succession of brilliant colleagues.

The Red Rebels have no financial burden, and their annual financial income and profit are the highest in football, which ensures that after the Red Rebels have achieved some kind of peak, the team does not need to sell the core players of the team in exchange for a huge transfer fee to fill the deficit and debt.

Xiao Yu and the management are rational, which ensures that after the team reaches the top, the management will ensure the integrity of the lineup and the combat effectiveness of the team to the greatest extent, rather than getting carried away and making wrong judgments.

So since the 06/07 season won the Grand Slam, the Red Rebels' combat effectiveness has steadily improved, others may not understand this, but Mourinho sees it very clearly, he is the direct manager of the team, he knows better than anyone else the transformation of the Red Rebels' combat effectiveness, all of which is indispensable to the credit from the management.

Now, Xiao Yu is sensibly giving support and help to the team at this time, and Mourinho is naturally very grateful.

But in addition to gratitude, he can also feel Xiao Yu's ardent expectation, he hopes that before he steps down as chairman of the Red Rebels, the team can achieve excellent results, as a gift for him to bid farewell to the team management.

For the manager of a big team, it is inevitable to bear this kind of pressure, the key is to see how you turn this pressure into a motivation to push yourself to achieve better and better results.

Although Xiao Yu was saying to Mourinho, it was actually a request to all the senior executives of all departments present, after all, competition is often closely related to various departments of the team and inseparable, which made the office quiet all of a sudden, and everyone was thinking about the meaning behind Xiao Yu's words.

"Perhaps, at this time, someone should come and tell me, what is the second good news?" Mourinho broke the silence with a smile, and his words immediately made everyone present laugh again.

Don't look at Mourinho's usual coolness, but in fact, after getting along for a long time, it is not difficult to find that this guy is actually a freak who is very easy to get along with, as long as you find out his spleen surname.

"The second piece of good news, a fax from UEFA, guess what!" Xiao Yu hit a hurdle again.

Mourinho glanced at it, what he didn't like the most was guessing, but looking at Xiao Yu's mysterious appearance, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "You don't have to guess to know, it must be related to Barcelona's investigation, right?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled: "That's half right!" ”

"Halfway there?" Mourinho wondered, what is half right?

"It's about our Red Rebels, as for the investigation of Barcelona, there is only a general framework at present, and the specific things will not be leaked to the outside world, Barcelona is still circling, and it is estimated that it will not come out until November at least." Walsh helped explain.

November?

Mourinho suddenly complained, this is the gap between the top giants and the middle and lower teams.

Because I don't want Barcelona to be charged too harshly, but on the one hand, the evidence of the Red Rebels is conclusive, coupled with the turbulence of the outside world, UEFA began to use procrastination, hoping to delay this matter as much as possible, and wait until the wind is not so tight, and then slowly downplay the matter and deal with it in a low-key manner.

This is a typical political maneuver!

The thought of this makes Mourinho have a headache, and it is these politicians that he is most tired of.

"At the moment, UEFA has made a preliminary decision on this investigation, and just sent us a fax. Essien's red card will be revoked and he won't be banned in the next round, and I'm sure that's good news for you, right, Jose? ”

When Mourinho heard this, he immediately laughed, "Sure enough, it's good news!" ”

Essien is a big player under Mourinho, if he is absent, the impact on the team is still great, although there is still a De Rossi, but multi-front fighting, one more Essien has a lot of rotation chips, isn't it?
