332 He's just a child!
Souness stood in front of the dugout at Old Trafford, and after 90 minutes of rain, he would raise his hand to cover it up a bit, but from the 12th minute onwards he forgot about it.
In the 12th minute, Brazil international Kaka opened the scoring for the Red Rebels!
It was another game for David Beckham, who failed to score on his debut at Old Trafford, but he was the best player on the pitch and set up three assists for his team-mates to score.
In both games, Beckham showed a level of form that he had never been seen at Manchester United, proving how much he was undervalued at £18 million with his passes and assists.
Palacio has scored in two consecutive Premier League games and is also the top scorer in the Premier League with four goals, Didier Drogba scored his first Premier League goal and David Beckham is the top assist.
At the same time, a 3-0 match also allowed the Red Rebels to overpower Blackburn Rovers and sit at the top of the league table.
Souness saw the rout of the players on the field and there was nothing he could do!
He wanted to be angry, but he couldn't, because he knew the players really wanted to win, but the Red Rebels were far superior to Blackburn Rovers in terms of strength, tactics, and even the level of understanding between the players.
The last time he lost, Souness can be said to be unfamiliar, but this time he lost again, Souness lost without temper.
The Black Wind duo have clearly lost their peak form at the top of the LinkedIn top scorer list, especially without the help of a wide attacker like Duff, who is completely submerged in the Red Rebels' defensive system on the field.
In this game, Blackburn's three lines were completely spaced apart, and the price of the disconnection of the three lines was defeat!
"It's not a team that can win the championship at all!" Souness felt that his ambitions could not be realised at Blackburn.
The money from the sale of Duff was supposed to be used to bolster the squad, but Blackburn turned down Souness's request and they were blinded by a big first-round victory.
"It's also a promoted horse, the Red Rebels are not Leicester City!"
Souness sighed, turned to look at Mourinho, who had also been drenched for 90 minutes nearby, and he was walking over with a victorious smile, which made Souness very uncomfortable, and turned around and left the pitch in the other direction.
Mourinho was snubbed, shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly, escape is the power of the loser, he is the winner, he can enjoy the joy of victory, let the loser go to the corner and cry!
…………………… After two consecutive wins, the Red Rebels are at the top of the amazing rankings, which is indeed unexpected by everyone, even Xiao Yu himself finds it incredible, and Mourinho is too.
No one expected the Red Rebels to get off to such a smooth start to the Premier League.
Due to the relationship of the European Super Cup, the third round of the Red Rebels' away game against Manchester United was adjusted to October 22, so after playing Blackburn, the Red Rebels began to prepare for the European Super Cup with AC Milan.
As the winners of the UEFA Cup, the Red Rebels will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage against European Champions League winners AC Milan, but with two consecutive wins in the Premier League and sitting at the top of the standings, the Red Rebels have high hopes for this game, hoping to win the first European Super Cup in the team's history.
Jose Mourinho also took the game very seriously, and he focused on the team's tactical drills before the game, specifically for AC Milan.
However, at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, the Red Rebels were very tenacious, but in the end they could not get a satisfactory result.
In this high-profile match, Rui? The midfield combination of Costa and Andrea Pirlo was almost completely in control of the game, and the Red Rebels' much-admired style of control play in England was severely hampered, especially David Beckham, who was clearly less in control of the game than Andrea Pirlo and Rui. Combo of Costa.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Rui? Costa made a scalpel-like straight plug in the middle lane, Shevchenke slapped his horse to arrive, and under the joint attack of Curtis and Terry, he forced a bloody way, and hit the door vigorously, straight to the dead end, 1:0!
The Red Rebels showed a lot of tenacity in the scoreline, and the magical quartet of Villa, Kaka, Robben and Palacio caused huge problems for the AC Milan defence, and Palacio frequently broke through the left flank of Pancarro.
In the 37th minute, the Red Rebels' furious attack finally bore fruit, Kaka forced a break through the middle and split the ball, Palacio stabbed the ball to Villa in the back row before Maldini, who pushed the near post and equalized, 1:1!
After the equaliser, the Red Rebels still strengthened their attack, especially the front quartet launched wave after wave of attacks on the AC Milan defense, but the back line led by Maldini and Nesta, coupled with the Brazilian international Cafu on the right fro, froze Robben, making the Red Rebels' offensive fierce, but it looked like thunder and rain.
On the contrary, it was AC Milan, who took advantage of a mistake by the Red Rebels in the first half of extra time to launch a fast counterattack, and Shevchenko's shot gave AC Milan a corner kick opportunity.
Rui? Costa's corner kick was tricky and caused a stir in the penalty area, Inzaghi fished in troubled waters and stabbed the ball into the net, AC Milan once again overtook the score, 2:1!
In the second half, the Red Rebels launched a fierce attack on AC Milan's position, and it was clear that the team wanted to equalise in time for the start of the second half, although Mourinho frequently signalled his players from the sidelines not to rush too hard, especially the two full-backs, with McCone and Patrice Evra not rushing too forward.
But AC Milan's conscious retreat still forced the Red Rebels to press out.
Although the Red Rebels attacked very fiercely and suppressed AC Milan on the field, they lacked a kick on the goal, especially when Ancelotti replaced Seedorf with Ambrosini and played a back three, the Red Rebels could hardly attack AC Milan's penalty area, and could only frequently use long-range shots to show their anxiety.
On the other hand, AC Milan defended very steadily, and the players were quite experienced, knowing that the Red Rebels were attacking urgently, they had to avoid the edge for the time being, and they would not attack again until the Red Rebels could not attack for a long time and their sharpness was smoothed out.
Pirlo made a long pass from the back, Shevchenko stopped the ball on Terry's chest, and knocked it to Rui? Costa, the latter took advantage of the situation and went straight to the ball, Rivaldo, who came on the field instead of Inzaghi, received the ball, deducted the out-of-position Curtis, entered the penalty area, and faced a calm push shot from the goalkeeper to make another goal for AC Milan, 3:1!
The Red Rebels, who conceded the goal again, still did not give up, after all, there were still 20 minutes left, Mourinho replaced the underperforming McCone with Drogba, replaced Robben with Ronaldo, and played 3232 tactics.
Ancelotti had two goals in hand, and he didn't worry at all, so he let the team set up camp and defend with peace of mind.
However, the crazy Red Rebels became very unreasonable, especially Xiao Xiao Luo, who replaced Robben on the field, he frequently used his excellent personal skills to create opportunities, and created a great threat in several internal cuts.
The crisis on the right side, AC Milan's defense gradually leaned to the right, and Pancaro on the left side was negligent, and was immediately seized by Palacio.
Entering the penalty area, Palacio faced Maldini, who was returning to the defense, and accelerated again after a marked acceleration, a sharp stop, and then accelerated, flashing a position, and deftly picking up and shooting.
Dida jumped high, but still couldn't pick up the ball in the air, and could only watch the ball fall to the far post, 3:2!
Chasing a goal back, the Red Rebels played harder, AC Milan retreated across the board, and Ancelotti replaced Rui with Simic? Costa, playing a back 5 and 3 back tactics, but this was able to stop the tide of attack of the crazy Red Rebels.
Even in the second before the referee blew the whistle, the Red Rebels were still playing with their lives, and the players were obviously unwilling to accept the team's defeat, but the relentless whistle sounded, and everyone could only sit down on the pitch in despair.
Curtis, who had a terrible performance in this game, sobbed silently, and he didn't let anyone take his hand to comfort him, so he squatted on the grass alone, hugged his head and cried.
He defended Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry in the Premier League, which made him think he could defend against Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Rivaldo, but really?
He felt like a fooled clown on the pitch, who was played around by them, making mistake after mistake and losing a chance to win the championship.
Beckham comforted his team-mates one by one, and he also had a terrible performance in this game, with Gattuso and Pirlo at the back of the line, he barely made any threatening passes, and even the team's attacking organization was completely disrupted, which made the team completely passive in the first half.
Against England's side, Beckham still has enough to deal with it, but in Andrea Pirlo and Rui? He looks clumsy in front of a playmaker like Costa, but he refuses to admit defeat, and he will definitely learn the lessons learned from this game in the next confrontation!
Essien also had a terrible game, not giving Beckham any favourable support and help in midfield, and was clearly so thin in front of Gattuso, who was also frantically scrambling and running.
Villa and Arjen Robben too, with world-class players like Nesta, Maldini and Cafu barely getting any chance to show what they can do, and they were outright defeated, even when Villa scored a goal.
The only players who were a little more normal in this game were Kaka and Palacio, who almost sieved the left side of Pancarro's station, but that was limited to the left, and once they entered the AC Milan penalty area, it was difficult for the Red Rebels to get a chance, even after Drogba came on.
Mourinho stood quietly on the sidelines, quietly watching the players on the field, no one knew what he was thinking, but there was not even the slightest disappointment or a loser look on his face.
He's not Souness, he's not the kind of person who wants to find a scapegoat when he fails, he's not the kind of wreck who is arrogant when he wins and decadent and regrets when he fails, he's Mourinho, a Portuguese who will always be so arrogant whether he succeeds or fails!
Xiao Yu also stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the VIP box, he had just finished watching the game with Berlusconi, the latter was leaving with a happy mood, while Xiao Yu was mixed, he knew that his team was young, and he also knew that this was just the tuition paid by the players for growth and maturity, but he was still so unwilling!
Mourinho walked onto the pitch and comforted his players one by one, Curtis hugged him and cried, after all, he was just an 18-year-old child!
