"First of all, I would like to announce good news to all of you!"

In the conference hall of the administration building of Newton Heath's training base, Xiao Yu was the first to speak at the beginning of the meeting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sweeping over the dozens of senior executives of the Red Rebels present, Xiao Yu had to sigh at the state of the Red Rebels, in less than 9 years, the Red Rebels have grown from nothing at the beginning to a football club with the world's most valuable players, the world's best coaching staff, and hundreds of professional employees.

The Red Rebels Stadium, the venue for this season's Champions League final, is one of the most modern five-star stadiums in the world today, and the Newton Heath training ground is regarded as the most advanced training ground in football today.

How difficult it is to get to this day!

Clearing these thoughts, Xiao Yu focused his attention on the meeting.

"In the results of the World Professional Footballers Association (WHA) awards, our team's Kaka once again won the Player of the Year award by an absolute margin, which is the second consecutive year that Kaka has been selected for this award since the first selection last year, which is an honor for our club."

"Messi was voted Rookie of the Year, which went to Wayne Rooney last year, and now Messi has got the honour he deserves, and in the 11-man selection, the goalkeeper is Cech, the backline is Zambrotta, Terry, Cannavaro and Thuram, the midfielders are Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and Zidane, and the forwards are Thierry Henry, Drogba and Ronaldinho, so we have a total of six players on this list."

"The award ceremony scheduled for November 6 in Shearer was cancelled due to the organising organisation, but the World Professional Footballer Association will travel to Manchester in the near future to present the awards to our Red Rebels players, which will attract the attention of journalists from all over the world."

With Xiao Yu's words, the atmosphere on the scene was immediately mobilized, especially for the Red Rebels who have been in poor condition recently, it is indeed a huge encouragement to be able to win such a series of awards, especially Cech.

For the Czech, it is a great honour to beat Gianluigi Gianluigi Buffon as the best goalkeeper in the world.

In addition, the likes of Zambrotta and Thuram were selected more because of their excellent performances at the World Cup and not much to do with their performances at the club, while Terry and Drogba were purely based on their excellent performances at the club and Kaka was both.

In any case, to receive such a series of awards, the Red Rebels are honored.

But that doesn't overshadow the trouble that the Red rebels are currently facing, which is the goalkeeper crisis.

Petr's return date is yet to be determined, and Professor Flair has previously judged that it is possible to say goodbye to the season early, while Kessie? Keller would not be until early February at the earliest, but in December and January, the Red Rebels had a very busy schedule.

With the winter break set to kick off in January, the Red Rebels have nothing to do but choose to continue to rely on Chris? Taylor, but the England youngster's performances have been hard to convince, his form has fluctuated too much, and it is clear that he can't handle the pressure of the top flight.

The low-level mistake against Watford was due to too much pressure, which made Mourinho not very comfortable with his psychological quality, but looking at the current Academy of the Red Rebels, can he talk to Chris? Taylor has no goalkeeper of comparable strength, after all, he can always be the main goalkeeper of the Red Rebels reserves.

This is also related to the fact that the Red Rebels released a group of young rookies around the age of 19 this summer, and these players were unable to play in the Red Rebels' first team, so they chose to leave and play for other teams in the Premier League, or teams in lower leagues, which made the Red Rebels only have Chris? Taylor is a goalkeeper available.

It doesn't matter much if it's in normal times, but now, Chris? Taylor is really hard to convince.

To that end, Mourinho wants to bring in a goalkeeper during the winter break. Even if Keller recovers, it is unknown how much form he will be able to recover, and the American goalkeeper will be 37 years old after all.

But to be honest, it is easy to choose a good goalkeeper, but it is difficult to say that it is difficult.

For Xiao Yu, as a traverser, he can know many goalkeepers who are not very famous now, and with the current prestige and status of the Red Rebels, they can easily poach them, and they don't have to spend too much pounds, but this does not mean that the goalkeeper Xiao Yu chose must be suitable for the Red Rebels' tactical system.

Yes, many people ignore the idea that the tactical system only involves players in other positions except the goalkeeper, but in fact, the goalkeeper is also part of the tactical system.

Different types of goalkeepers are suitable for different types of teams.

For example, Liverpool's Carragher and Hyypia are not fast, agile centre-backs, they both have the characteristics of slow turning, on the contrary, these two centre-backs are characterized by strong frontal defensive ability and excellent ability to defend high balls, which makes them always lag behind in the handling of the ball behind the opponent's play.

That's when Benitez chose Reina for Liverpool!

What are the characteristics of Reina?

His quick reflexes and attacking are excellent, but other aspects of his game are not impressive, such as his lack of concentration and his lack of communication and connection skills with his team-mates, but none of this has prevented him from succeeding at Liverpool and establishing himself among the top goalkeepers with his performances.

Why?

The reason is simple, Liverpool's tactical style of play suits Reina well!

Benitez's tactics have an obvious characteristic, that is, the emphasis on pressing, so his tactics are always based on the premise of the backline, and the original back line forward pressing, Carragher and Hyyypia's slow turning and slow back speed will be exposed, which is why Liverpool's previous defense has always had problems.

However, when Reina's arrival lagged behind, Benitez took advantage of Reina's excellent reflexes and attacking ability to decisively give Reina more freedom, expand his defensive area, and give him more power to take the initiative.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for Liverpool's backline, on the one hand, Reina's attack can make up for the shortcomings of Carragher and Hyypie's slow turning and chasing speed, on the other hand, it can also play Reina's excellent reflexes and attacking ability, and, thirdly, Liverpool can continue to keep the defensive line forward, maintain pressure on the opponent, and compress the opponent's attacking space.

A goalkeeper has completely solved three problems, and Benitez's choice of Reina can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

After solving these troubles, Liverpool's defensive level skyrocketed, and Reyna began to make a name for himself because of his decisive attacks and many times to save the team from danger, and he became one of the top goalkeepers in one fell swoop.

Well, when it comes to Reina, we have to talk about Van der Sar.

He is also a great goalkeeper, but Fadessa's specialty is not in his attacking or his reactions, but in his almost brilliant goal-line skills and his anticipatory ability based on his long-term experience, which allows him to make excellent goal-line saves.

And what about Van der Sar's partner?

Rio Ferdinand's speed and ability to chase back are also excellent among the central defenders, plus Manchester United's tactics are more balanced, with two central defenders protecting the big penalty area, so what Van der Sar has to do is to tighten the defense of the small penalty area, deal with the incoming ball in the small penalty area, and do not have to choose too much to attack, play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and Manchester United's defense has also been improved.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, there was another top goalkeeper, and his experience was the most representative, that is, Cesar.

As an Inter goalkeeper, Cesar's biggest characteristic is his quick reaction speed and excellent goal-line skills, but relatively speaking, his attacking ability is very weak, which makes it impossible for him to attack like Reina.

At the beginning, many people thought that the arrival of Mourinho completely created Cesar, but as everyone knows, Mourinho is not a god, and he cannot make Cesar's strength improve greatly in a short period of time, what he really does is to use the team's overall tactics to make up for Cesar's shortcomings and carry forward his strengths.

So we can see that the shrinking defensive tactics created by Mourinho make Cesar not need to attack like Reina at all, and Inter Milan always leaves very little attacking space for the opponent in the big penalty area, and what Cesar has to do is to guard the small penalty area, and this is Cesar's specialty.

With quick reflexes and excellent rescue ability, Cesar can naturally put on world-class performances frequently, which has also greatly improved Cesar's performance.

But after Inter won the treble, Mourinho left La Liga, Benitez came to Inter, he still stubbornly wanted to copy Liverpool's set, he still wanted to put Inter's backline premise, he wanted to completely overturn the deep imprint left by Mourinho in Inter.

And then what?

Cesar is not magical, although he has no shortage of good performances, but he can no longer be at the peak of the Mourinho period, because after the premise of the defensive line, the space in front of Cesar has become larger, and the opponent can easily face Cesar directly as long as he uses it a little, at this time Cesar has two options, one is to stick to the small penalty area, waiting for his teammates to return to defense, and the other is to attack decisively.

If it was Reina, he would have chosen the latter, but attacking was not Cesar's forte, and with a little hesitation, the opponent scored, so Cesar's performance declined.

Xiao Yu still remembers that in his previous life, many people thought that it was a decline after the peak, but as everyone knows, the tactical elements here are also very deep, after all, Benitez and Mourinho are two completely different sets of tactics.

Peter? After Cech returned to the Red Rebels, under the guidance of Kasper Schmeichel, his goal-line skills were excellent, even better than in his previous life, especially in communicating with his team-mates and directing the defence, which ensured that he was unbreakable in the Red Rebels' main position, and the relatively balanced Almunia was pressed to the bench in one fell swoop.

But with Mourinho's continuous improvement of the Red Rebels' tactics, Cech's progress is also obvious, the three lines remain compact, focusing on the front court, the premise of the back line, Cech's attacking ability has also been improved, plus the Red Rebels' central defenders are not lacking in Curtis's fast, explosive stars, and players such as Terry and Vidic are not slow, so Cech's performance can be so good.

That's why so many professionals believe that Cech has what it takes to challenge Gianluigi Buffon as the world's number one goalkeeper, because on the premise of having excellent goal-line skills, Cech's attacking ability has also improved very quickly, which makes him have a very well-rounded quality, excellent in all aspects, especially this season, and he has really stepped into the ranks of great goalkeepers.

As for San Cassie of La Liga giants Real Madrid, purely technically, whether it is goal-line technology or attacking ability, Casillas can be called great, but Casillas's height of 1.85 meters makes him lack in anti-high-altitude ball skills, preventing him from reaching the realm of the first person in football.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Casillas himself, on the contrary, he has been able to achieve what he is today, and the name of St. Cassie is enough to make him proud and proud.

Of course, some people may say that Casillas is very stable and has a lot of concentration in the game, but even Xiao Yu, who is half a bucket of water, knows very well that concentration and stable performance are the characteristics necessary to become a top goalkeeper.

The most obvious example of this is the AC Milan goalkeeper Dida!

There are many who predict that Cech may be able to extend his clean sheet record to an unattainable level if he is not injured this season, after all, the Red Rebels are strong and it is not impossible for Cech to set an impressive record.

Unfortunately, the brutal Reading halted Cech's magical journey, and at the same time brought disaster to the Red Rebels, and the trouble of choosing a goalkeeper followed.

Originally, the Red Rebels still had Joe on loan at Droisden? Hart, a player who has the potential to become a first-class goalkeeper, has excellent reflexes and attacking ability, and is also very good at defending high balls and other skills, and is known as England's number one national goal in the future, but he has a serious problem with lack of concentration.

None of this should have been an obstacle to his return to the Red Rebels, after all, he was still young, only 19 years old, and there was still a lot of room for improvement, and the Red Rebels were also very optimistic about him, and he could become a talent with a little carving, but he was currently the chief goalkeeper of Droisden.

After negotiations between the Red Rebels and Droisden, Pellegrini personally called Xiao Yu and Mourinho, hoping that Joe would be able to do so. Hart could remain in Droisden and, according to UEFA rules, due to Joe? Hart has played for Droysden in the League Cup, so he will not be eligible for the Champions League for the Red Rebels.

That is, even if the Red Rebels put Joe? Hart recalled, Joe? Hart can only play in the league and cannot participate in the Champions Cup, which is definitely a big disadvantage for the Red Rebels, after all, the team's group qualification is already ironclad, if a goalkeeper who cannot play in the round of 16 knockout round, then why bother?

It was for this reason that the team finally gave up on recalling Joe? Hart's decision, but for this, Xiao Yu must find a goalkeeper for Mourinho who can play in the Champions League and has the ability to play.
