The day before the team left for Liverpool, everyone went to the hospital to see John? Terry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

England's main centre-back will not be back until at least mid-February after suffering a broken rib and head injury against Tottenham, which will be the most difficult time for the Red Rebels.

Everyone can see the role of Terry for the Red Rebels, Mourinho's rotation does not include the English, he is the vice-captain of the Red Rebels, and he is also the core of the defense, although he is not as high-profile and active as Curtis, nor as star as Beckham, and not as capable of charging and showing his majesty like Kaka, but no one can deny that Terry is the most important general of the Red Rebels, without him, the Red Rebels' defense cannot be so solid.

Although he was lying in the hospital, Terry's heart was still concerned about the team and the game against Liverpool.

"If I'm not mistaken, after the draw with Tottenham, we're only one point above Manchester United and two more than Manchester City, right?" Terry smiled worriedly.

Mourinho smiled and patted Terry's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, John, don't worry, leave it to us, you can recuperate with peace of mind!" ”

Terry nodded, but looked at the ceiling, muttering: "It's not easy for us this season, but we must not fail, I can't imagine that the team can't participate in the Champions Cup, we were born for the championship and glory, this dedication and pursuit has long been deeply engraved in our souls, you must not lose!" ”

The players kept nodding to the vice-captain, and everyone's eyes revealed a sense of persistence!

"Curtis, you're my good partner, but you're too reckless, against Liverpool, they're going to be playing against you, you have to be careful, don't be fooled, you know?"

Curtis kept nodding, he partnered with Terry, Terry was always next to him silently filling in for him and wiping his ass, which may not be known to others, but Curtis himself knew very well.

"Nemanja, you are very good, you can play a main role in any top club......"

"No, John, don't worry, I'm very happy in the team, the Red Rebels have groomed me, without the Red Rebels there would be no Vidic, I never wanted to leave the team!" Vidic interrupted Terry, reassuring.

"I know, but I want to tell you that being a centre-back in the Premier League is not just about being good defensively, you have to be domineering, like Curtis, although he often causes trouble, but he has an inviolable domineering spirit, which you don't have, and that's your flaw!"

Vidic nodded silently, he and Terry are good friends, and he knows that Terry hopes that he can fill his gaps as much as possible during his absence, and help the team continue to win.

"And you, Giogio, what you need is calm and steady!"

After commenting on his group of partners, Terry smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I will definitely come to the scene to watch your game, I hope to see victory, every victory!" ”

"We promise you!" Beckham gripped Terry's hand tightly and assured.

"Yes, we promise you!" The players answered in unison!

…………………… Vidic's mind remembered what Terry had told him that day, and his eyes flashed with determination, and then he rushed towards the ball that Aimar had passed to him.

On the opposite side is Gerrard, who came all the way to the road, the distance between the two is about the same, both of them also tried their best, without the slightest thought of backing down, Gerrard directly raised his foot to unload the ball, and Vidic flew directly out, ready to use his head to clear the ball.

It was a very dangerous move, and if Gerrard had taken advantage of the situation, he would probably have kicked Vidic in the head, and no one knew what the consequences would be, especially since Vidic had already jumped out and had no room to retreat.

Gerrard is an iron-blooded warrior, he fights for almost every ball, almost every ball has to be grabbed, and you can see the purest English tough guy's style of play from his body, but at this moment, what he sees from Vidic's eyes is the indomitable perseverance, and what he sees is the determination not to fight the ball and never look back.

He's a professional footballer and he has his own work ethic, so he stepped back and Nemanja Vidic brushed his head against the sole of his shoe and cleared the ball away.

The Red Rebels fans erupted in cheers as Nemanja Vidic once again defused a beautiful Liverpool attack.

Gerrard couldn't help but fall into the penalty area, he didn't deliberately take the ball, but jumped up directly, came to Vidic's side, stared at the sweaty Serbian who stood up from the ground with gritted teeth, smiled, and stretched out his hand.

"Good guys!" Gerard praised.

Vidic grabbed Gerard's hand and got up, and the two staggered, immediately becoming enemies again.

"The Red Rebels were so tenacious that they even caught Liverpool, who are known for their fighting spirit, at a loss!" Andy? Gray sighed from the bottom of his heart when he saw the Red Rebels endure Liverpool's almost frenzied attack.

The Red Rebels retracted tightly on all three lines, with each player engaged in an aggressive scramble, with Nemanja Vidic and Curtis holding the middle while also juggling the two flanks, while Essien and David Beckham were desperately building a defensive line in front of the defence.

After the Red Rebels scored the first goal, Liverpool launched a crazy counterattack, Ronaldo, Robben, Kaka, and even Drogba have retreated to the midfield to participate in the defense, they all know very well that this is a critical moment, and Liverpool must not be allowed to score at this time, otherwise, everything will be in vain.

Fortunately, in the midst of Liverpool's flood of attack, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

As soon as the Red Rebels heard this, they immediately collapsed to the ground one by one.

They are so tired!

........................ "Look at the Liverpool players, one by one exhausted and walking off the field, we can imagine how bad the situation of the Red Rebels players is now, even Robben and others with physical difficulties are doing their best, I really can't imagine what kind of spirit and will is supporting these players!" ”

Andy? Gray looked at the players who fell on the turf with emotion, it was definitely the worst game he had ever seen, it was not exciting at all, but it was very gentlemanly!

It's a duel for a man!

"Only the Red Rebels players can understand that they are only for a belief, for a perseverance, for the team they love, they have their own pride, they do not allow their glory to be tarnished, for this, they can sacrifice everything, this is the most glorious for them!"

Martin? Taylor was also quite moved, he has been a Red Rebels fan for many years and has seen many exciting games, but this one against Liverpool was definitely the most intense game he has ever seen.

'Football isn't just about stats, cold stats often don't tell the exciting truth of what happens in a game, and when we have the advantage in all aspects of the stats for Liverpool, we shouldn't ignore the tenacious Red Rebels either!'

"Nemanja Vidic was undoubtedly the best player in the first half of the Red Rebels, the Serb fought fiercely, had excellent anti-ball awareness, and had excellent anticipation ability, and he and Curtis set up an iron gate in the middle of the backline, firmly defending the Red Rebels' goal, and filling the void after Terry's absence."

Martin? Taylor also nodded in agreement, "Vidic this player has made great progress in the Red Rebels, in the past few years, with the rapid improvement of the Red Rebels' results, he and Terry and Curtis are the strongest combination of the three central defenders, not to mention the tacit understanding, and at the same time the complementary surname is very strong, they can be said to be the guarantee of the Red Rebels' defense!" ”

'Another player who has been a standout performer is Petr Cech, the Czech goalkeeper made at least four world-class saves throughout the first half, and if there were doubts about his Premier League and world number one goalkeeper title before, then look at his performance in this game, no one doubts his quality.

Not long ago, the International Football History and Statistics Association [IFFHS] announced the results of the 2005 best goalkeeper selection, and Petr Cech, who unfortunately lost to Gianluigi Buffon in 2004, occupied the top spot in the rankings this year.

This is the first time in his career that Cech has led the rankings, with a total of 175 points, compared to second place Dida with 91 and Gianluigi Buffon with 78, followed by Lyon's Coope, Bayern Munich's Kahn, Real Madrid's Iker Casillas, Liverpool's Eduedu Dudek and Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar.

The explanation for the selection is that Cech helped the Red Rebels win the European Champions Cup in 2005 and the Czech Republic reach the finals of the World Cup in Germany, and his performances were unquestionable, and his award for the best goalkeeper was undisputed, after all, he was the big leader.

As for Gianluigi Buffon, he was more out of action due to injury in the second half of the year, which led to a drop in the rankings.

"Maybe with this tough battle, we will not only see the quality of Cech, but also the rise of Nemanjac Vidic, and we will also realise that the Red Rebels are often stronger because of their football philosophy, not only because of their star-studded pool, but also because of the fanatical blood that runs in each of them!"

…………………… In the away dressing room at Anfield, no one spoke, but there was a flurry of gasps.

Arjen Robben had just cramped when he walked into the dressing room, and the team doctor treated him briefly, but suggested that Mourinho should replace him, the Dutchman is in poor fitness and has been tired in recent times, so it is better to be careful.

"John, you go up in the second half!" Mourinho pointed at John? Obi? Mikel.

The latter nodded in agreement, his expression extremely excited.

'Guys, you played well in the first half and I can't ask for more, but I want to tell you that if it's a final, then the real moment of decision is in the second half.'

Jose Mourinho's sonorous voice rang out in the dressing room, and the players who had been rested were not as tired as they were at the end of the first half, and the lead in the first half made them full of trust in Mourinho's tactics and listened attentively.

"Benitez will never allow his team to lose at home, they will continue to press out in the second half, you have seen the situation in the last moments of the first half, it is very dangerous for us to defend and at the same time the deadliest, so at the beginning of the second half, we have to fight back, sharp counterattacks!"

On the tactical board, Mourinho has drawn the tactical map of Liverpool and the Red Rebels, and he pointed to the tactical map and constantly explained the tactical intention and operational policy of the second half to the players in detail.

The specific implementation has been practiced by the players in their usual training, and now they are just implementing it and integrating the tactical thinking of every player in the team.

"David, Michael, at the beginning of the second half, the interception zone was advanced, the range was expanded, enough support was given to the midfield, and we had to create enough trouble for Liverpool at the beginning of the second half as much as possible, and even score goals!"

Beckham and Essien looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Didil, keep an eye on him!" Mourinho's hand slapped heavily on Carragher's side, where a Hyypia stood.

"The Finn is 32 years old and his performance at the beginning of the season was quite solid, but when he enters the busy schedule, his form will always fluctuate, after all, he is not young, his physical confrontation is not as good as yours, his speed and explosiveness are not as good as yours, Ricardo presses forward, involves Carragher, and Hyypia is handed over to you!"

Drogba nodded resolutely.

He is well aware of the current situation facing the team, and he also knows how much the team needs him at this time, but he is forced to return to the national team call-up, but he still hopes that he can help the Red Rebels as much as possible before returning to Ivory Coast, and do everything he can!

...... "If it weren't for the Red Rebels, I would have been just an inconspicuous big black man in Le Mans, but when I came to this unique club, my life changed completely, and I am willing to give everything I can to repay this team that has helped me selflessly when I have nothing!" ”

This is a sentence written by Drogba on the cover page of his autobiography, bold and accentuated, to show the weight of this sentence in his mind, when the autobiography describes that when Xiao Yu personally called to invite him to Manchester, the Ivorian said that he will never forget the scene in his life, nor will he forget every word Xiao Yu told him.

Therefore, every time the Red Rebels needed him, the Ivorians were always able to fight and fight for the Red Rebels.

I believe that in the Red Rebels, there are many people who have the same thoughts as Drogba, so they will burst out with amazing cohesion in such a difficult situation, which has evolved into the team's combat effectiveness in the game.

"As I told you before the game, this game will be related to our whole season, we have no way back, we only have a chance if we fight, this game, we only have one goal!"

"All three points!" The players roared in unison!

All of them looked hideous and blushed, but they revealed a suffocating sense of oppression.
