"The body has limits, there are moments of decline, but wisdom does not!"
"In the world we live in, often the top, the most outstanding players, in fact, are the players who play with IQ, they are the top players, as for those who play with their bodies, they may be able to dominate the football world in a certain three or five years, but it is difficult to create convincing results, once the physical fitness declines, they are immediately discarded!"
"Romelu, you're young, you're only 16 years old, but you should start now and develop a style of play, a combination of physicality, technical detail and awareness, rather than relying on your strong body, otherwise it will limit your future achievements!"
Sitting on the bench of the visiting team, Lukaku looked at the Red Rebels players on the pitch in a daze, the second half has been played for 15 minutes, the Red Rebels' offensive is a wave of fierce waves, Drogba's appearance has indeed brought huge changes to the Red Rebels, especially his role in the front court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Magic Quartet is not there, and he has taken on the team's offensive responsibility!
Lukaku, who was still a little angry just now, looked at Mourinho standing on the sidelines at this time, but his eyes projected a sense of respect and gratitude, and he began to understand why Mourinho asked him not to take a shower and sit directly on the bench, which was for him to observe.
Don't look at the Portuguese is very cold and cold, but in fact, he is urging and cultivating Lukaku in his bones, hoping that he can be promoted and improved as soon as possible, but he will not say it like a loving father, but express it in his own way.
It's strange that after Juninho's suggestion, Lukaku's eyes began to deviate from the game itself, from the football, to Drogba, who watched his every move.
His run is strange, he doesn't retreat very deeply, always seems to be near Lucio, but as soon as Lucio is a little bit forward, Drogba immediately moves forward and forces into Campaneli, so that Lucio immediately retreats, sometimes even Yaya? Toure retreated, and the Red rebels were given wide space in midfield.
In terms of strategy, Drogba always forms a triangle position with his attacking teammates in the front court, and he even frequently uses his body to cover for his teammates.
Perhaps due to injuries and lack of physical fitness, Drogba has always been cruising around Manchester City's defensive line, occasionally retreating, and returning to his position immediately, and Manchester City is always the first to fill the gap in Drogba's defense.
By splitting City's defensive attention, the Red Rebels' attacking players up front were given more opportunities, especially one-on-one opportunities on the wings, which made the Red Rebels' attacking attack come alive immediately.
In the 63rd minute, after Mikel broke off Van der Vaart's ball in the middle, he immediately transferred the ball to Ozil. Ramsey sent a sharp through ball.
Drogba started before Lucio, and then cleverly used his advantage to take the lead, after receiving the ball, he carried Lucio with his body, all the way into the penalty area, and in the face of the attacking Buffon, he chose to shoot low at the near post, and grazed the post into the net, 0:1!
After the goal, Drogba was very excited to celebrate with his teammates on the field, especially Aaron, who gave him a through ball? Ramsey, he even fell to his knees, pulled Ramsey's foot and wiped his shirt on his shoes to thank him for the assist.
This unique celebration also made all the fans at the scene excited, and the cheers were thunderous!
Romelu Lukaku watched Drogba score from the sidelines, and he had to think that he had two similar chances in the first half, but he didn't get stuck in time for Lucio, and he was immediately out of position and quickly destroyed, which is why he had a poor first half.
Another point is that he does not give flexible use of his strengths, his physical fitness is not as good as Lucio, but he is faster, more explosive, and more flexible, but he blindly fights with Lucio, and wants to overwhelm the opponent with strength, which is an absolute failure.
After watching Drogba's performance, Lukaku has to admit that he does have a huge gap with his predecessors in this aspect.
The African Elephant King has perfected his use of strength, technique and awareness, and Ismail is a little inferior to him in this regard, let alone the fledgling Romelu Lukaku.
Perhaps, the only thing that can stop Drogba from continuing to maintain his form and continue to achieve higher achievements is his injury!
The sequelae of his youthful and rampage have finally been reflected, and his body has had many new injuries and old problems, making it difficult for Drogba to maintain a consistent appearance in the past two seasons, and the main position is naturally not guaranteed, and Mourinho has been forced to start changing tactics.
In addition to Drogba, Essien is another African player with physical perversion, but he was better than Drogba in this respect because he was better than Drogba a few years ago, when he was still young, when the Red Rebels began to train and nurture him scientifically and urge him to change his style of play.
Lukaku is now equivalent to a young version of Drogba, and the lesson that Mourinho taught him in this game is to make him understand that don't blindly believe in his body, it is a flower that will wither and wither sooner or later, even if he blooms brightly now!
…………………… With Didier Drogba's opener, the Red rebels' offensive was completely alive.
Lucio was contained, Campany was also harassed by Drogba, the two powerful centre-backs had the same headache when they ran into Drogba, while the Red Rebels' frontcourt players enjoyed the simple, brutal attack that Drogba brings.
In the 79th minute, right wing-back Mika? Richards suddenly stepped forward, Di Maria ran 30 meters on the right side, and after bursting into the penalty area, Drogba helped him to draw away the defender, so that he shot the right edge, and the ball went straight into the far corner, 0:2!
In the 88th minute, Nimar, a Brazilian player who replaced Walcott, crossed after passing the ball on the left side, and Drogba headed the goal from close range, breaking through the players guarded by Buffon again, and rewriting the score to 0:3!
This goal was also the last goal of the game!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was a faint but unusually clear "Elephant King Song" at the City Stadium, which was a new song made by Red Rebels fans in excitement after Drogba announced that he would stay with the team, as a reward for the African elephant king who chose to be loyal to the Red Rebels.
"He was the hero of the game, from 0:0 in the first half to 0:3 in the second half, Drogba undoubtedly interpreted the importance of a good center forward in the game, the Red Rebels advanced to the League Cup semi-finals, Drogba was a great contributor, it was his two shots and one pass, defeated Manchester City away, and made the city stadium completely speechless!"
"The Red Rebels should be glad for this, Mourinho should be excited about his choice, because he chose to keep Drogba, and it is Drogba's many outstanding performances this season that have defused the Red Rebels' crisis, although he is a substitute, but his role is not lost to the main players, especially his work ethic!"
Drogba came to the stands of the Red Rebels fans of the visiting team with a smile, he always had a look of humility, he always had a sincere smile on his face, and quietly listened to the singing of the fans in the stands!
"That's the best fan in the world, the best singing, right, boss?" Drogba asked with a smile.
Jose Mourinho smiled and nodded, he always seemed cold, but only a few people could get his smile and affirmation, and Drogba was fortunate to be one of them.
"You know what? Didier, I'm really starting to rejoice that you chose to stay, we didn't bring in other players at the beginning, otherwise, maybe there would not be today's victory, there would be no complete victory so far! ”
The Red Rebels are unbeaten on all fronts so far this season, which is absolutely incredible for a football club, because the Red Rebels have previously set an unbeaten record to win the title, and if they can achieve another brilliant season this season, it is really possible to set the most incredible record of winning all in European and global football.
And the reason why it can create such a strong brilliance, in addition to the dedication of the main players, including Drogba and other substitute players, the role of many substitute players should not be underestimated, at least without Drogba in this game, it is difficult for the Red Rebels to get out!
"No, don't say that, Boss, it's me who should be glad, it's me who should thank you and the team for staying, and re-accepting and trusting me!" Drogba said with a look of excitement and excitement.
"Every player's career is short, but not all players can be on the biggest stage in the world, so I'm glad I came to the Red Rebels, where I not only learned how to play better, but also how to be a better person!"
"It can be said that it was the Red Rebels who gave me everything, it was you and Mr. Xiao Yu who brought me into this stage, and at the same time made me famous, so I know very well that my life is for the Red Rebels, and I will dedicate my entire career to this team, because I can't imagine how much I love him!"
When he decided to go, Drogba was full of reluctance and pain that was difficult to decide, so he threw everything to his agent, hoping that the agent could help him make this painful decision, but unexpectedly, there were twists and turns in the middle, and at the last moment, he was finally attacked by the feelings in his heart, and finally stayed behind in the Red Rebels.
This is stupid in the eyes of many people, but for Drogba, he thinks it is worth it!
It is difficult to explain which is more important than reason, but Drogba is well aware that he would prefer to be at the mercy of his feelings, to stay in the Red Rebels, to stay in Manchester, to stay in the place he regards home.
He used to be a mercenary, he used to live indefinitely, he was adrift, but after coming to Manchester and moving into Newton Heath, he began to feel at home, and he loved it!
"Well done, Didier!"
Kolo? The Toure brothers, who were once teammates of the Red Rebels and now play for each other, are the main players of the Ivorian national team and have a close relationship with each other, smiling and greeting Drogba.
And then Kolo? The Toure brothers greeted Mourinho again, and although they were rivals during the game, after the game, their relationship became old acquaintances and even good friends, which made the whole city stadium feel very harmonious.
After a few pleasantries, Drogba said goodbye to the Toure brothers and turned to walk towards the players' tunnel.
"Hello, Didier!" Romelu Lukaku followed.
"Hey, boy, how's it going?" Drogba asked with a smile, he was really in a good mood, he didn't know how to restrain himself in front of Lukaku, and his true feelings were revealed.
"Uh...... Not bad! Lukaku was a little embarrassed, but luckily he had figured it out, so he wasn't too upset, "Can you ask for a shirt of yours?" ”
Drogba was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that it was estimated that some relatives and friends wanted it, so he nodded happily, "Of course no problem, I still have a clean one in the cabinet when I go back, and I will sign it for you!" ”
Lukaku shook his head, pointed to the soaked jersey that Drogba took off, grabbed it in his hand, and could almost wring out the water, and asked resolutely: "I want this, okay?" ”
Drogba was stunned, "You want this?" ”
"Hmm!" Lukaku is still resolute.
Drogba smiled and threw it directly to Lukaku, who grabbed it casually, and immediately some sweat splashed on his body, but he wiped it casually, and showed a mouth full of white teeth with a grin, which looked particularly bright on his dark face.
"Boy, it's not a big deal to just get a jersey, if one day you understand the meaning behind the jersey, that's when you actually wear it!" Drogba looked at Lukaku, who was smiling and ready to look at his shirt, and casually woke up.
Lukaku was stunned for a moment, immediately stopped his movements, took off his shirt instead, and nodded: "I understand, you look at it, I will be able to wear it one day!" ”
"Then I'll wait!" Drogba turned around and walked straight into the players' tunnel.
Lukaku looked at Drogba's vanishing back, his eyes full of indescribable determination.
…………………… After the Carabao Cup away to Manchester City, the Red Rebels travelled to Portsmouth two days later.
This time, Mourinho played the main force, because the Red Rebels have successfully qualified for the Champions League group stage, so Mourinho also decided to play in the Champions Cup in midweek with a lineup of substitutes and young players, so he has no scruples about using troops.
After a week's rest, the magic quartet of Ronaldo, Aguero, Messi and Kaka showed excellent competitive form in the game, leading the Red Rebels to a 0:4 away win at Portsmouth and winning 15 consecutive Premier League wins!
By the way, in the key battle of this round, Manchester City hosted Chelsea, and not long after the opening, Dutch midfielder De Jong made a mistake in the 8th minute during a corner kick defense, and the ball was accidentally hit into his own goal and scored an own goal.
However, Van Gaal made decisive substitutions in the second half, first Sneijder equalised, and then in the 56th minute, Tevez made a decisive decision to overtake the score.
In the end, Manchester City withstood the pressure and reversed Chelsea at home, Van Gaal's command was unanimously recognized, and Manchester City's performance this season was even more impressive, and the overall attacking football style of play set off a huge storm around the world.
Two days later, the Red Rebels welcomed Kazan Ruby on their home turf.
This underdog team, which has remained unbeaten against Barcelona in two rounds this season, aims to qualify from the group in this game, so they will be the main opponent after the start of the game, hoping to beat the Red Rebels.
But Kazan Ruby's defense is good, but the attack, compared with the Red Rebels fighting at home, there is still a lot of distance, even if Mourinho arranged a large number of young players and substitutes in this game, but still with Ismael and Nimar's goals, defeated Kazan Rubies 2:0.
In the other game of the group, Pep Guardiola, who stabilized his position, led the team to challenge Dynamo Kiev away, if this game could not win the opponent, Barcelona would completely lose the right to qualify, so when Miliwski took advantage of the weather and the home atmosphere, he broke through Barcelona's goal in only 2 minutes in the opening game, but Guardiola's players scored two goals in a row to overtake the score.
Although many young players such as Pique, Busquets and Pedro were suspended, players such as Villa, Xavi, and Iniesta supported Barcelona very well, coupled with the outstanding performance of foreign players such as Keita and Abidal, Barcelona finally won the opponent.
Despite this, Barcelona can only rank 3rd in the group and is forced to participate in the League Cup in the next games, fortunately, after the reform, the attention and weight of the League Cup have also been greatly improved, although it is not comparable to the Champions League, but it is definitely not Xiao Yu's chicken ribs in his previous life.
The Red Rebels won all 6 games with 18 points, and proudly qualified for the Champions League with the highest points, becoming the biggest favorite to win the Champions League this season, especially the record of all wins they held on all fronts this season, which caused a huge response around the world, and all the fans were amazed at the strength of the Red Rebels, but also constantly questioned in their hearts.
Who will be able to defeat them?
At least judging from the current situation, unless the Red Rebels have their own problems, it seems that it is really an impossible task to defeat them!
There are even many bookmakers who have set odds, one of which is specifically for the Red Rebels' winning streak, and with the Red Rebels continuing to win on all fronts, the market is bullish on whether the Red Rebels are likely to break the current Europa League winning streak this season.
The Red Rebels are currently on a 15-game winning streak in the Premier League, and they are only a stone's throw away from PSV Eindhoven's 18-game winning streak and Celtic's 25-game winning streak.
But what happens in the world of football, who knows?
