389 World-class David Beckham
The king's counterattack, Xiaobei proved his strength with a brace!
England's two generations of core confrontation, Xiaobei defeated Lampard!
David Beckham is in great form, but England has no place for it!
…… The next day, many newspapers in the UK and abroad headlined Beckham's brace last night, and the Guardian even put together a photo of Beckham's excitement interacting with the fans when he left the game, and Frank Lampard's depression when he left the game.
The title is, England, who do you need?
David Beckham was undoubtedly the man of the best in the game, scoring twice and delivering a number of brilliant shots, three of which were not well received by Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Villa, otherwise the score would have been even greater.
On top of that, Beckham has also done a good job of organising, controlling the tempo and being involved in defence, and his defensive stats have been impressive, especially in several face-to-face encounters with Frank Lampard, who has been defeated across the board.
Martin? Samuel was very unceremoniously pointed out in his column that Frank Lampard was inferior in this game, and with Deco and Veron in check, Lampard simply could not afford the team's organization and attack, he was like a headless fly, flying around.
"So many people say that Lampard can do anything, but from this game, the real omnipotence is Beckham, he can score goals in the front, he can organize the attack when he stands up, he can respond to his teammates, he can participate in the defense after retreating, protect the backline, and he often appears on the two wings to fill in the position, this is the real Beckham!"
However, there are still many people who question Beckham and defend Lampard, who believe that Chelsea's overall tactics have been suppressed by the Red Rebels, resulting in Chelsea's poor midfield organization, which is not something that Lampard can change alone, because he is facing De Rossi and Essien, two of the Premier League's leading and powerful midfielders.
As for Beckham's outstanding performance, he was not as good as the statistics listed, and many media outlets even took out several mistakes made by Beckham in the game, as if according to their view, Beckham should be flawless and not make even the slightest mistake.
The Red Rebels did not react to the outside world's claims, and the team was nervously preparing for the Champions League group stage in midweek, which was also the first time that the Red Rebels appeared in the Champions Cup, sitting at home to face the opponent in the first round of the group stage, Portuguese powerhouse Porto.
In early September, before the group was drawn, there was a lot of discussion about which of the big seeds the Red Rebels would be placed with, and as a media, reporters preferred to see this kind of headache.
Although it is a new team in the Champions Cup, the Red Rebels have defended the League Cup for two seasons and won the Premier League title last season, and this team is notoriously hard, including Lazio, Juventus, Valencia, Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams have to be deflated when they encounter the Red Rebels.
The Red Rebels are now arguably the most troublesome team in all of Europe!
Before the draw results came out, Mourinho said in an interview with the media, "I don't care what kind of opponent will be drawn, even if it is to arrange 3 seeded teams for us, it doesn't matter if we are seeded, what we really care about is our opponent, all the teams that meet our Red Rebels will feel a headache, they will definitely not be happy to touch us!" ”
Who knows, Mourinho's proverb really didn't let the Red rebels meet the European giants.
The group was also very secluded, with Group H of the last group, with Portuguese powerhouse Porto being drawn first, then the Red Rebels, then CSKA Moscow from Russia, and Sparta Prague being the last to be drawn.
Juventus meets Bayern and Ajax; Real Madrid meet Bayer Leverkusen and Roma; Inter meet Valencia, Werder Bremen and Anderlecht; Compared to AC Milan and Barcelona and other strong matches, the four teams in Group H can indeed be said to be the weakest of the eight groups.
Compared with Porto and the Red Rebels, CSKA Moscow and Sparta Prague are not strong, so many people have predicted that the top two in this group should be Porto and the Red Rebels, if nothing else, and the real suspense is who can win the first place in the group.
According to the draw rules, the first group can meet the second group of other groups, and they can also play away first, so the Red Rebels and Porto are both aiming to win the first place in the group, and Mourinho has given the team an order that they must go all out to qualify as the group leader.
However, as a new team in the Champions Cup, the Red Rebels still did not dare to be careless in the face of the menacing Porto.
Porto have gone through a number of main players this season, including Deco, Carvalho and Ferreira, and the overall strength has decreased from last season, but the team still has more familiar stars such as Pepe, Fabiano, Maniche, and McCarthy, and the strength should not be underestimated.
Mourinho had already prepared for this game, and at the same time specially arranged for players such as Kaka and Drogba to rest against Chelsea so that they could better play for Porto.
As the first Champions Cup match in the history of the Red Rebels, the Red Rebels fans were very supportive, the whole stadium was full, the crowd was full of voices, and the fans brought all kinds of props into the stadium to cheer for the team.
Kaka and Fabiano were teammates during their time in Sao Paulo, and the two had a good relationship, having spoken in the players' tunnel before the game.
Fabiano is familiar with Kaka and the Red Rebels, especially the team's success in European competitions in the past two years, which makes Fabiano envious of Kaka's fame.
He was also eager to join the Red Rebels, but the team was full of talent up front, and Fabiano never found a chance to prove himself in Porto, where he was thankfully used and started this game.
However, friendship is friendship, and once on the court, neither side will easily admit defeat.
Mourinho still arranged a 4231 formation in this game, Drogba returned to play forward, Ribery and Robben served as bilateral strikers, Kaka played as a forward midfielder, Beckham and Essien were double midfielders, and the back line was Philip from left to right? Ram, Vidic, Curtis and Colo? Toure, goalkeeper is Cech.
Although there has been some rotation and adjustment of the lineup, the players of the Red Rebels have experienced more than two years of cooperation and familiarity, and they are very familiar with the team's tactics and the characteristics of their teammates, and everyone is very skillful in cooperation.
The Red Rebels, playing at home, showed a strong winning streak from the start, while Porto, who had gone away from the likes of Deco and Carvalho, lacked both defensive and attacking organisation.
The current Pepe is not worth 30 million pounds, and he is as hot as Ruo? Costa's centre-back duo was flawed by Didier Drogba, the African elephant king, while Porto's two wings were also unable to stop the onslaught of the lively Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
In the first half, the Red Rebels had already established a 2-0 lead with goals from Kaka and Drogba, while David Beckham continued his excellent form so far this season, providing two assists and a couple of dangerous passes that failed to score.
After taking the lead, the Red Rebels did not make tactical changes at half-time, but continued to use the tactics of the first half to suppress Porto, especially when Mourinho was convinced that the overall quality of the team was above Porto, and he was even more convinced that his players could beat their opponents.
Sure enough, in the second half, the Red Rebels once again showed their bloody fangs, first Essien scored in the 61st minute after receiving Drogba's return and scored with a strong long-range shot, and then in the 74th minute, Beckham, who performed well in this game, received a knock back from the side at the front of the penalty area, broke through Maniche in the middle with the ball and entered the penalty area, and scored a goal, 4:0!
After David Beckham's goal, the Red Rebels fans in the stands were so excited that they were desperately cheering for the captain of the team, especially when Beckham ran under the stands to encourage them to make more noise, they were eager to tear their throats in support of Beckham.
Since the start of the season, the Red Rebels have played a total of five league games and one Champions League group game, and Beckham has contributed five goals and six assists for the Red Rebels, and is the best and most important member of the Red Rebels.
Especially in the last two games, after retiring from the national team, David Beckham directed two brilliant scenes in a row, scoring three goals and providing two assists to help the Red Rebels beat Chelsea and Porto.
If someone had said that this would be a season for Beckham, no one would have believed him because he was just a playmaker for the team, but since the new season, he has been very good and consistent, and he has been able to contribute to the team in almost every game.
After the game against Porto, seeing Beckham once again deliver a world-class peak performance, many professional media in England have to examine, what is the reason for Beckham's sluggish performance in the national team?
And as the annual selection approaches, Beckham's selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or is getting louder and louder, and it was with his excellent and consistent performance last season that the Red Rebels won the Premier League title, and since the start of this season, 5 goals and 6 assists are a very good result.
Another favourite is Barcelona's Ronaldinho, but the Brazilian did not perform in the last season's UEFA Cup final against the Red Rebels, but Beckham, who was in the competition, was in excellent form.
However, Beckham also has a major flaw, that is, his results in the national team are very poor, England lost the European Championship, Beckham missed a penalty and was criticized, and Beckham's performance in the two World Cup qualifiers after the start of the new season was not convincing.
However, Ronaldinho, on the other hand, is the undoubted first star in Brazil, and also has a good performance, and under his leadership, Barcelona suddenly made a force in the second half of last season, although he still did not win the championship in the end, but Ronaldinho's performance was very outstanding, and the limelight was not lost to Beckham.
The other two favourites are Arsenal's Thierry Henry and Chelsea's Andriy Shevchenko, the latter of whom was selected thanks to his impressive performances at AC Milan, who have also been in excellent form in the previous league games since joining Chelsea this season.
It remains to be seen who will be the World Footballer of the Year, but it is a fact that no one can deny that David Beckham is in near-demon form, especially when he led the Reds to face Newcastle at the Red Rebels Stadium three days after he repelled Porto.
In this game, Beckham once again played his peak form, with 2 goals and 3 assists, leading the team to a 5-0 slaughter of Newcastle at home with an almost incredible state, with Ronaldo scoring one goal and Kaka scoring twice.
But that's just the beginning!
