Returning to Manchester from Zurich, Xiao Yu immediately devoted himself to a series of activities around Christmas, most of which were charity activities for the club to serve the community and give back to the fans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As an ambassador for the Red Rebels, Redondo is also a part-time coach at the club, where he coaches young players in training and games whenever he has time, while also passing on his experience to them.

The club's charity campaign continued into Christmas, with the team taking a break from afternoon training and all the players heading to the Royal Manchester Infirmary to visit the sick and children who had to spend the holidays in the hospital, as well as giving them gifts.

This is also one of the contents of the cooperation between the Red Rebels and the Royal Hospital, which has lasted for many years, creating a good image for the Red Rebels in society, and at the same time cultivating a sense of social responsibility in the hearts of the players through this series of activities.

On the 26th, the Red Rebels sat at home and ushered in the hard Red Army Liverpool!

Rafael Benitez's side have struggled heading into December, with Cisse injured, then Gerrard's partner Colwill also undergoing surgery, and then Czech striker Barosz also picking up a bit of an injury in training, and although they arrived in Manchester with the team, it is still unknown whether they will be able to make up for this game.

For this reason, Benitez had to bring the French teenager Poigler in the bench lineup, and it is widely speculated that Benitez is likely to arrange Pongele, Owen, and Luis in the game? Garcia formed the front trident, with Harman, Gerrard and Xavi behind them? Alonso.

After Benitez took charge of Liverpool, the scouting department of the Red Rebels has been keeping an eye on the movements of this competitor, especially Liverpool's technical and tactical changes have been valued and analyzed by the coaching staff.

In this game, Mourinho specifically targeted Benitez's best use of the 433 tactic, requiring Ronaldo and Messi to be close to Liverpool's defense, Drogba to interfere with Hyypia and Carragher, and Kaka to respond to the assault at any time.

Since Benitez's best tactic is to press forward the defensive line, he is obviously planning to use this tactic to limit the Red Rebels' midfield, and then play Xavi? Alonso's passing ability directly found the point of Owen at the front.

But in doing so, it is tantamount to directly exposing the defense line to the bloody fangs of the Red Rebels.

…………………… From the start of the game, the Red Rebels' Ronaldo and Messi frequently found opportunities from both flanks, Kaka's split ball and Beckham's diagonal long pass both created several threats, including Kaka's breakthrough to the near post, which was blocked by goalkeeper Dudek and knocked back, and Essien's long-range shot from the back row was slightly wide.

The Red Rebels at home played more aggressively and proactively, looking for opportunities frequently from the start, and made Liverpool fans break out in a cold sweat on several occasions, while in the middle of the midfield, Hamann, Gerrard and Xavi? Alonso's midfield was also unable to contain the Red Rebels' attacking midfield.

In the 29th minute, the Red Rebels launched an attack on the right, Messi wanted to break through the Norwegian Liese with the ball, but was cut off by the experienced Lieser and passed to the French teenager Pongele.

Pongele, who has been performing well recently, ran with the ball on the left and tried to cut inside to get straight behind Curtis, but Terry made a prediction in advance and cut off Pongele's through ball to Owen, who won the ball and knocked it directly to Beckham.

Beckham, who had just won the new double Footballer of the Year award, immediately burst into cheers as soon as he got the ball, and then handsomely used his trademark pass to accurately transfer the ball to the left.

Xiao Xiao Luo is like a Ferrari that has stepped on the accelerator deeply, running wildly all the way, raising his foot to catch the ball and then taking advantage of the situation, avoiding the Hyypia who grabbed it, not sticking to the ball, and pushing it directly to Drogba who received nearby.

Drogba pressed Carragher, and as soon as he let it, Carragher felt a gust of wind whistling past him, and when he reacted, Kaka had already pushed the ball into the goal, and Dudek had no choice but to pat his gloves angrily in protest.

From offense to defense, to counterattack, the Red Rebels are fast, precise and efficient throughout the process!

After taking a 1-0 lead, the Red Rebels began to slow down their attack, but they strengthened their control of the midfield, especially the connection between Kaka and the double back after a slight retreat, coupled with Curtis's position slightly forward, made the Red Rebels control the midfield very well.

Benitez was a little helpless on the sidelines, and he was well aware of Liverpool's flaw, which was the lack of a player who could hold the ball in midfield, and that player was Aimar in the past, but Liverpool simply can't find such a person now.

Gerrard is good, but he should be on the right side where he can play his impact, or he is not the type of midfielder or central midfielder that Benitez likes at all, if you want to find a place for Gerrard in Benitez's tactics, the most suitable is the midfielder, Xavi? Alonso's partner.

There are rumours that Benitez wants to get Valencia's old Aimar who has not played as well as he did this season in Valencia, and one of the main reasons is that he thinks Ranieri doesn't know how to use him, or doesn't use him as well as Benitez, and the tinker doesn't value the underperforming Aimar very much.

"I'm not happy in Valencia this season, I don't know why Ranieri didn't play for me, he didn't tell me why, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that I'm not in his plan and I regret it!" Speaking to the media, Aimar blasted Valencia's current boss Ranieri before he praised his predecessor Ranietraz.

'Rafael Benitez is an amazing manager, he knows me very well and if you don't see a change in Valencia, Liverpool will be the best place to go, I believe to go to the Premier League and play for Benitez, I don't need any adaptation problems, he knows how to use me and I will reward him with the best performance and form!'

Liverpool are said to have started talks with Valencia in the hope of acquiring Aimar.

But against the Red Rebels, Benitez had to suffer the pain of the midfield.

…………………… The first half ended 1:0, and the Red Rebels did not make much adjustment in the second half, still using the offensive of the first half, and Benitez made appropriate adjustments to the team, especially the three players in the middle of the midfield, Benitez asked them to retreat and limit the attacking space of the Red Rebels.

After the third line retreated, Liverpool's formation appeared more compact, and the Red Rebels were greatly hindered in the attack, but Owen was left in front, and Liverpool's attack also couldn't play tricks, and Owen was frequently caught in the offside trap of the Red Rebels.

It should be said that the backline composed of Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher and Reese, plus Dudek, as well as Hamann and Xavi? With Alonso and Steven Gerrard in midfield, after Liverpool retreated, it was difficult for the Red Rebels to threaten Liverpool's goal if they continued with their previous tactics.

Mourinho saw that something was wrong, and immediately waved the flag, and the players on the field began to change their tactics, Drogba was directly nailed to Liverpool's penalty area, becoming the team's most reliable bridgehead, and the offensive tactics also changed from the original sports war to positional warfare, attacking Liverpool's position in a big way.

Drogba has been transformed into a very alternative center forward under Mourinho's account, in the sports battle, he can form a good interaction and echo with the other three players in the front field, but once he turns into a positional battle, he is the team's top bridgehead at the front, is the fulcrum of the team's attack.

He is not as good as Ruud van Nistelrooy, not as strong as Vieri, not as good as Shevchenko, not as fast as Thierry Henry, not as good as Ronaldo, but he is firmly in the Red Rebels' tactical position with his conscientious tactical execution on the pitch and his seemingly innate ability to adapt to various tactics.

The combination of Hyypia and Carragher is one of the strongest and most consistent centre-backs in the Premier League and even in Europe this season, and Liverpool have been a solid centre-back duo even when they are at a low ebb, and they are the biggest contributors to the team, especially Carragher, who Benitez has fixed him in the centre-back position, which has completely inspired him to be world-class in this position.

But in this game, this pair, known as the best central defender combination in the Premier League, made an unforgivable mistake under the constant impact of Drogba, that is, they ignored Drogba, the king of African elephants!

Anyone who ignores Drogba should be punished!

In the 67th minute, Drogba received the ball with his back to Hyypia, who stuck Drogba with his body, but the strong black big man stuck out of a position and suddenly turned and volleyed vigorously.

The ball hit Liverpool's goal like a cannonball, and Dudek reacted but couldn't stop the menacing ball from going into the net, 2:0!

After that, the Red Rebels continued to attack, and Liverpool also stubbornly launched a counterattack, but Owen, Pongler and Louis? Garcia's front trident failed to pose a threat to the Red Rebels' defence, but instead made a series of mistakes at the back.

In the 76th minute, the Red Rebels broke the ball in the middle and plugged straight behind him, and the young Messi got rid of Rieser after being offside, and ran wildly with the ball all the way, and Drogba in the middle and Xiao Luo on the left also followed quickly forward.

Messi, under the interference of Carragher, used his personal skills to find an opportunity and pass the ball to the penalty area.

Drogba was like a heavy tank, forced overtaking, and before Hyypia, poked the ball into the goal, 3:0!

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Mourinho began to arrange for the next game, successively replaced Beckham, Drogba, Messi, and then Liverpool launched a counterattack, Owen took advantage of a mistake by the Red Rebels, and after the successful anti-offside position, he passed the goalkeeper Cech who attacked, and pushed the ball into the empty goal, pulling back a goal for Liverpool, 3:1!

Although the two sides played back and forth at the last moment, even after the end of the game, no one could score again, and the game was finally fixed at 3:1!

…………………… After the home win over Liverpool, the Red Rebels are only one game away from the unbeaten record set by Fabio Capello's AC Milan, and the next game away to Manchester City can be said to be a must-win for the Red Rebels, as Keegan's side have lost a humiliating 7-0 at the Red Rebels Stadium this season and the team is currently on the verge of the relegation zone.

Just when everyone thought that the Red Rebels had won Manchester City nine times out of ten, and the media speculated that the Red Rebels equaled AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record, Manchester City suddenly announced that Keegan was out of class.

The news immediately shocked the entire Premier League, because no news had been received before, and Keegan even said in the media that the match against the Red Rebels would change the club's current predicament with color, but who would have thought that he would be out of place in a blink of an eye.

The English media reacted immediately, chased to the office of Manchester City FC, and asked the reason for Keegan's dismissal, but was told that a press conference would be held in two days, and the reason for Keegan's resignation was basically believed by the outside world to be nothing more than poor grades.

Indeed, under Keegan's Manchester City, a lot of investment, but the results can only be said to be very average, this season in addition to the humiliating 7-0 loss to the Red Rebels, is still hovering in the relegation zone, such a manager, it is indeed difficult to satisfy Abu Dhabi and Arneson.

And just two days later, Manchester City held a press conference, which was attended in addition to Manchester City chairman Mubarak and general manager Arneson, as well as Manchester City's new manager!
