720 I Can Bring Faith!
readx;
Rijkaard's luck was not good, especially when he arrived in Manchester with the team, and it was drizzling here when he set foot on the Red Rebels pitch in what had been sunny weather in London. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Perhaps, even God is already making excuses for Rijkaard!" There is some cynical humiliation in the media.
However, Rijkaard remained unmoved, he was attentive to the training of the players, and the movements of the Red Rebels on the other side, but a large number of thoughts flashed through his heart.
Everyone can see that this game is crucial for him, and before this game, the club's top brass David ? Barnard even made an exception to participate in the team's tactical preparation meeting, and listened to Rijkaard's tactics and ideas for this game, but he did not say a word during the entire meeting, and it is difficult to guess what was in his mind.
Perhaps, he just wants to add weight to this game!
Rijkaard will try to think about the good side of things, which will make him better, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own bottom line, but for the time being, he and Chelsea, or should I say Abu, have the same idea, that is, they are both desperate to defeat the Red Rebels!
This should be the hope of not just them, but of the whole of European football, with countless teams proud to beat the Red Rebels and every player proud to score against them.
It's a very unique team, and even if you don't like it, it's hard to hate it!
"Let them go back to the locker room!" Rijkaard turned and walked into the players' tunnel.
In the players' tunnel, he met Mourinho, and the meeting between the two was just right in a place where there were no TV cameras and reporters, as if they had made an appointment in advance, but from the stunned expressions of both sides, it is not difficult to see that this is just a coincidence.
"Hello, Frank!" Mourinho greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Jose!" Rijkaard was a little embarrassed, after all, the other party was the owner here.
Both of them wanted to leave, but they seemed to feel that it was rude and wanted to stay, but they felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, and only the two of them were hesitating in the entire player tunnel.
"Haha, Frank, I found something!" Mourinho burst out laughing.
Rijkaard also smiled and looked at Mourinho, "What? ”
"It's better for us to be opponents!" Mourinho stopped smiling and said with a frank face, "What do you think? ”
Rijkaard was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed as well, and nodded incessantly: "I think so, I can't wait to defeat you and defeat the Red Rebels!" ”
"No, no, no, Frank, I'm not going to give you such a chance!" Jose Mourinho is confident.
Rijkaard sneered unconvinced, "Don't exaggerate, Jose? Mr. Mourinho, I'm not afraid of you, it's the Red Rebels who really make me feel a little scared, and as for you, if you don't have them, I don't think you're strong! ”
Mourinho was speechless, he really didn't expect that Rijkaard hadn't seen him for a while, and the words became much sharper, especially when facing himself, which caught Mourinho off guard.
'It's you, or Chelsea, Frank? Mr. Rijkaard, none of you will end well tonight! Mourinho also had some vicious sneers.
…………………… In the away dressing room at the Red Rebels Stadium, Rijkaard swept through the group of players in front of him, including world-class stars such as Ronaldinho and Deco, as well as Joe? Cole, Lampard and other local stalwarts, the combat effectiveness of the whole team is still very considerable.
Rijkaard once understood and considered, thinking that the reason why Chelsea had a poor record last season was because of Ancelotti's sudden dismissal, the team suddenly lost its backbone, and another reason was that Ancelotti was too conformist and lacked his own core ideas.
Chelsea are a mercenary army, which is undeniable and not a bad thing, they are indeed a group of mercenaries, but if you want Chelsea to get rid of the mercenary and ruble legion, you must inject soul and faith into the team.
Carlo Ancelotti is used to leaning towards the chairman, Aboubuy, and he adjusts according to the staffing, which is undoubtedly something that a good manager can do, but a great manager can not only do this, but go further and shape the soul and faith of a team.
Rijkaard is very grateful to Ancelotti, Ancelotti left him a good set of players and skills, he insisted on the concept of technical details and Rijkaard, I believe this is why Abu Summer will give up Hiddink, Lippi, Scolari and other world-class coaches, choose Rijkaard.
So, what can Rijkaard bring to Chelsea?
'I hope that everyone can say about our Chelsea performance this season and that today is a watershed moment because in the first half of the season we didn't have a good performance, but I hope that after this game I want to see a new Chelsea!'
Rijkaard was chatting in the dressing room, slowly walking in front of the players.
"There must be a lot of people out there wondering, what kind of tactics are we going to use in this game? There must be a lot of people among you who are wondering, how will I play this game? Conservative and ugly iron bucket array? Or do you want to put everything aside and have a good fight against the Red Rebels? ”
One by one, the players looked up at Rijkaard, and it was obvious that they noticed that today's black swan was a little different from usual, but it was undeniable that he was right.
The players do have doubts about Rijkaard, after all, not every manager can stick to his football philosophy after losing a 7-0 defeat, can Rijkaard?
'Before the season, a lot of people wondered why I took over at Chelsea and they asked me, 'What can you bring to that mercenary team?' At first I didn't care, but as more people asked, I couldn't help but ask myself, what can I bring to Chelsea? ”
"Trophies? The Red Rebels have been strong in recent years, almost monopolizing all heavyweight trophies; Pretty football? I don't look down on you, but I want to say that with the current configuration of the team, you can't play artistic football like Barcelona and the Red Rebels, it's not football that can be played by talented players! ”
'So, what can I bring to Chelsea?' Rijkaard asked his players rhetorically.
All the players noticed Rijkaard's strangeness, and they didn't speak, and they all shut up and looked at the black swan.
'I think I can bring faith to Chelsea!'
The players were all shocked, and they all looked at Rijkaard in disbelief, looking at this guy who claimed to bring them faith, did he deserve it? Can he?
"I have never denied the strength of the Red Rebels, and I do not deny that we may lose this game very, very big, but I don't think we are powerless, and I don't think we can't play our Chelsea football, our style, our beliefs in the shadow of the powerful Red Rebels!"
"I will always believe that the real value of a team, a big team, is not in their football, not in their stars, not in their stadium facilities, but in their beliefs!"
"At their peak, faith can make them stronger; In times of mediocrity, faith can make them extraordinarily tenacious; At low times, faith can lead them out of the shadows; Even if they are downgraded and bankrupt, faith can still keep them optimistic and confident, and let them recreate brilliance! ”
Rijkaard's black face seemed to bloom with red light, and his eyes became fanatical, like two fires, each time they swept a player, they could quickly ignite the fire in the player's heart, and let them infect the fighting spirit in the deepest part of Rijkaard's heart.
"Today's game is a very, very important game, we have to face strong opponents, but I want to ask you, my players, do you want to stand like a man and fight the Red Rebels? Or is it a soft egg who has already conceded defeat before the game has started? ”
"In the end, you want to use our legs, our will, and our football to create Chelsea's football faith in this game, for countless generations to admire? Or do you want to walk around the pitch and get to the bank account after the game, see if your salary has arrived, and then you don't know where you're going to play next season? ”
Rijkaard paused deliberately, and waited until the players were all looking up at him one by one before he continued to speak.
"If it were me, I would choose the former, because in that case, even if I lose, I can proudly raise my head and tell everyone that we have never lowered our proud heads, even in the face of the powerful Red Rebels, and we can tell our fans that even if we lose, we are still holding on to our football beliefs!"
What is Faith?
Faith is, when you say you believe, then it exists; Faith is, when you say you have, then he exists!
Rijkaard's desire to build Chelsea's football faith is easy to say, but hard to say!
The two most dazzling football beliefs in today's football, the Red Rebels have adhered to it since the establishment of the club until now, a full decade; Barcelona has persevered from the Cruyff period to the present.
The football beliefs of the two giants are based on years of accumulation and precipitation, Rijkaard is from the Netherlands and peaked at Barcelona, so he knows better than anyone that faith is important for a team.
Some people may say that it is a system, not a faith, but in fact, many times, this is a faith, a belief in football!
"We have to hold on to our faith!"
I don't know who stood up first and shouted loudly.
"Stand up, we will use our faith to fight the Red Rebels with dignity!" Frank Lampard also stood up and pulled his team-mates up one by one.
"Fight the Red Rebels with dignity!"
"Forge our faith at Chelsea!"
The players roared like angry lions, a sight rarely seen in the Chelsea dressing room under Carlo Ancelotti in the past, especially when it provoked such excitement among the players.
Rijkaard looked at the players in the dressing room with satisfaction and pride, and he knew that he had stirred up the fighting spirit of the players, stirred their spirits, and this game, whether it was won or lost, he had successfully ignited the flames of Chelsea at this moment.
Next, it's up to him to create the football faith and soul that belongs to Stamford Bridge for Chelsea!
…………………… When Xiao Xiao Luo scored a goal for the Red Rebels in the 10th minute of the game, I believe everyone on the scene would think that this should be a Red Rebels-style victory.
After all, at the Red Rebels Stadium, there are only a handful of draws and reversals, and fans are used to enjoying the winning atmosphere here.
But no one thought that after Chelsea conceded the goal, they were not conservative at all, and still chose to take the initiative to press up and play, Joe of the front trident? Cole, Anelka and Malouda were fierce counter-attacks against the Red Rebels up front, especially Anelka, the French geek was so lively that he was like a shrunken version of Drogba.
The midfield trio of Frank Lampard, Ballack and Deco also showed great diligence, and the three players protected the back line well in the midfield, trying their best to resist every wave of attacks of the Red Rebels, and every inch of land was contested!
The score of 1:0 remained until halftime, and although it was only 45 minutes, Ballack was already out of fitness, and it is not difficult to see the intensity of this game.
It's not just intense, it's exciting!
In the second half, Rijkaard used the French midfielder, and Las, who is known as the new Makelele? Diarra replaced Ballack, who immediately formed a powerful sweeping zone around Deco as soon as he came on to protect not only Deco but also Chelsea's backline.
In the 50th minute, Frank Lampard suddenly volleyed from the edge of the box and fired a powerful long-range shot from a very tricky angle, and Cech, who had not been in the box for a long time, had to be declared missed.
Fortunately, in the 72nd minute, after Di Maria's quick breakthrough on the right, he passed diagonally to the penalty area, Aguero knocked in front of him, the ball reached the feet of Ozil, the German star did not hesitate to shoot, Hildebrand reacted quickly to save the ball, but Xiao Xiaoluo hit a close-range shot, and the score exceeded again, 2:1!
However, for a long time afterward, despite the pressure put on Chelsea, Chelsea were not far behind, and even in the final moments of the game, they still did not choose to give up.
It's raining, as if weeping for Chelsea!
But the Blues don't believe in tears, they are still fighting back, they are still grabbing!
The Red Rebels made a pass error, and the substitute youngster Aaron? After Ramsey stopped the ball, it was blocked by Russ? Diarra steals, who passes directly to Deco, who sends it to the left, and Malouda dribbles forward and passes into the box.
Frank Lampard appeared out of nowhere and got ahead of everyone else, smashing the ball in hard enough to slam the ball into the Red Rebels' goal.
In the 93rd minute, Chelsea miraculously equalized, 2:2!
And at this moment, the sky of Manchester faintly blooms with rays of sunshine!
