"Hey, here!"
On the first-team training ground at Newton Heath, Ronaldo combined with full-back Fabio on the left flank, and the Brazilian hoisted the ball into the box, only to see a figure flash, Kaka slipped out of the gap and lifted his foot to send the ball into the goal that Fridel was guarding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a burst of applause from the players, Kaka's shot seemed light, but in fact it was very difficult, and he entered beautifully, whether it was shooting skills or awareness, it was first-class.
On the sidelines, Kassel added a point to the team's score, then wrote the time and the name of the scorer Kaka underneath.
"This is Ricardo's third goal!" Kassel said in disbelief.
The team has just started training, but Kaka has already shown surprisingly good form, judging from his performance on the field, Kaka can almost be said to be back to his peak, even better than the two years when he won the double Footballer of the Year.
But this kid has fallen into a goal drought of more than 4 months!
Mourinho turned his head and looked at the makeshift scoreboard on the sidelines, with the names of three Kaka, who was the leading scorer in this training match, and suddenly a kind of absurdity flashed through his mind, and shook his head, "It's fucking weird!" ”
"Sometimes it's like that!" Moniz is more open, "The more outstanding the player, the more outrageous the goal drought will be, Vanney, Mackay, Ronaldo and others have had a goal drought for a period of time, Inzaghi also had a league goal drought for more than a year, and it didn't end until the end of February 08!" ”
Kaka is undoubtedly the top scorer as well, and he's in the middle of a goal drought.
"Listening to you, it seems to be very experienced, is there any good way?" Cassel asked with a smile.
Moniz shook his head suddenly, "Professor Fryer can't help it, if I had, I would have taken it out a long time ago, but I know that there is no such thing as a goal drought, and Kaka's current mentality is a little impatient, which may not be a good phenomenon." ”
"We all know that we have arranged for Kaka to have psychological counseling, but if you look at him, it doesn't look like a problem on the training ground, if we intervene too much, it may have a bad impact on him and bring him more trouble."
When talking about this matter, Kassel also looked helpless.
"Let it be!" Jose Mourinho gave his say.
Everyone can't say anything more, after all, the current Kaka, after a long period of rehabilitation, with the start of the new season, he has gradually found his form, especially in the last two months of the first half, he has shown world-class form, in addition to scoring goals, he is even better than before.
Let's not say that he is in a goal drought, even if he really will never be able to score again, as long as he can assist, as long as he can continue to play like this, he is still a world-class Kaka!
"How have you thought about the Carabao Cup?" Kassel asked, changing the subject.
After the winter break, the Red Rebels ushered in an intensive second half of the season, the League Cup semi-finals, the league, the FA Cup, the Red Rebels played more games than other opponents, and on February 24, the first meeting of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, the Red Rebels played Bayern Munich at home.
Throughout late January and February, the Red Rebels' schedule was packed with fixtures, which was a big test of the Red Rebels' staffing, especially the strength of the substitutes.
"There's nothing to hesitate about, these young guys have managed to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, and if we tell them that we need to give up the Carabao Cup because of the team's busy schedule, wouldn't that be an annihilation of their efforts?"
Jose Mourinho looked at the young players on the pitch, Maika? Richards, Di Maria, Rodwell, Thornton, Mesut Ozil, Walcott, Ramsey, Fabio, Rafael, Wilshere, Nimar...... The young players of the Red Rebels are all talented rookies, all of whom have already made a name for themselves in the European League, and if it were a team in the middle and lower reaches, they would have already taken charge of themselves, but in the Red Rebels, they could only be relegated to the bench, but even so, they still did not complain.
The giants have the benefits of the giants, and the small clubs also have the opportunities of the small clubs, it is difficult to say which one is better, especially for this group of players who have been trained by the Red Rebels' own academy, it is a matter of course to stay in the team to play.
"We never have too many trophies, we were hoping to use the cup to train our substitutes and academy players, and now it's a good opportunity, even if it's just the League Cup, we still do the same, try to win!"
The coaching staff has always been more convinced of Mourinho, and they all feel that they have reached the semi-finals, it is a shame to give up, and the young players have been doing really well this season.
The four teams that reached the semi-finals were Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and the Red Rebels, with the Red Rebels facing Tottenham Hotspur this time at White Hart Lane in the first leg.
Originally, the League Cup and the FA Cup have been reduced to chicken ribs and turned into youth training grounds for giant teams, but now with the reform of the League Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup have also been reformed accordingly, and the value of these two cups has also risen.
The big clubs are still focusing on training, but that's relative to the likes of the Red Rebels, Manchester United and Droysden, while for the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, they are all keen to win a title first and secure European qualification next season.
Rijkaard is also hoping to win his first title in charge of Chelsea so that his future in charge will go a little more smoothly.
In this case, the Red Rebels still chose a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup to play the game.
The goalkeeper is Friedel and the backline from left to right is Thornton, John Terry, Rodwell and Mika? Richards; Ramsey and Essien at the back, Mesut Ozil up front, Theo Walcott and Di Maria at the front, and Drogba at the lone striker.
Compared with Tottenham, this lineup is inferior in terms of strength, after all, the latter lineup has Berbatov and Robbie? Premier League stars such as Keane, Woodgate, Luka Modric and Bentley, especially Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie? Keane's two-man striker duo have combined for 21 league goals this season.
It's not hard to see how seriously he takes this game from the fact that the elder Redknapp is playing at full strength, especially when they are at home.
…………………… With the Premier League team's emphasis on the cup, the attendance rate has gradually picked up, and the attendance rate of the White Hart Lane Stadium in this semi-final home game is not bad, basically reaching 7 percent, which means that Tottenham can make a profit on this.
Both sides are well-known teams, they have already played many games in the Premier League, no one is unfamiliar, there is no need for any temptation, and they go straight into the rhythm of the game as soon as they start.
In just 15 minutes of the opening game, the Red Rebels took the lead in the game with Drogba's goal, which was a cross after Di Maria's breakthrough on the right side, Drogba forced Woodgate and hit the header, 0:1!
But knowing that Redknapp has made adjustments, although Tottenham is playing 442, they actually attach great importance to the midfield, Modric, Zokola, Bentley and others have given the Red Rebels a lot of restrictions in the midfield, especially for the young Ramsey, the defense is very tight.
The first half ended with the Red Rebels taking the lead, but at half-time Redknapp replaced the underperforming Russian striker Pavlyuchenko with Berbatov.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Dimitar Berbatov equalised for Tottenham, who took advantage of a set-piece in front of him to create chaos in the Red Rebels' penalty area, and Rodwell hesitated to clear the ball before Berbatov seized the opportunity to score the equaliser.
Five minutes later, it was Dimitar Berbatov's goal that gave Tottenham the lead!
The Red Rebels were beaten a little at a loss from leading to being overtaken, but Terry, Drogba, Essien and other big brothers played a key role at this time, and withstood the pressure at the critical moment, Terry blasted the corner kick from Ozil into the Tottenham goal during a corner kick, and equalized the score again, 2:2!
But at the critical moment, the disadvantage of the young players was once again revealed, Ramsey's pass error, was successfully cut off by Modric, the latter handed over to Bentley, directly into the Red Rebels' position, passed into the penalty area, Berbatov shot again, 3:2!
Three minutes later, the Red Rebels conceded again. Richards' header cleared, but accidentally turned into a self-imposed own, for Tottenham Hotspur to score another city, 4:2!
Neither side was able to score again, and Mourinho made several substitutions to make adjustments, but it still didn't work.
In the end, the Red Rebels defeated the White Hart Lane Stadium, 4:2, and lost the first leg of the game.
........................ "Alright, guys, what's going on?" ”
Mourinho swept through the dressing room, and this group of players who looked depressed looked dejected.
"Did we lose?" Mourinho saw that no one answered him and spoke again, "Who can answer me, did we lose the game?" ”
There was still no answer, and several veterans knew that Mourinho was encouraging these young people at this time, so they didn't speak, and those young imps were afraid to face their managers one by one because of the loss.
"Jack, tell me, did we lose?" Since he didn't open his mouth, Mourinho named him.
Rodwell's performance in this match can be said to be polarized, the target of Pavlyuchenko was successful, but against Berbatov, his performance can only be said to be tragic, and the game has completely become Berbatov's personal stage.
"Hmm...... Oh, no ......" Rodwell didn't expect Mourinho to name him, a little incoherent.
"Did you lose, or didn't you lose?" Mourinho relaxed the expression on his face and even smiled a little.
Rodwell seemed to read confidence from the head coach's face, looked around at his teammates, especially saw the encouraging eyes of Terry, Drogba and other big brothers, raised his chest, nodded and said: "Didn't lose, boss!" ”
"Very well, then who can tell me, since you didn't lose, why did you toss one by one as if you had already lost the game? Don't you have the confidence to get back to the Red Rebels? Or do you want to disarm early? ”
Jose Mourinho is also a well-known talent trainer in Europe, and he has a deep understanding of the psychology of young players, so he can always grasp their psychology when they are sensitive and help them adjust.
"No, boss, we don't want to lose, and we won't lose!" Rodwell solemnly assured.
"Yes, Boss, we won't lose!"
The players assured one by one, and it was clear that they were all a little interested.
Jose Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that for a player, especially a young player who is not yet mature and stable, a defeat is more valuable than a victory, and the growth after a defeat is precious for their present and future.
So over the years, he has not been stingy in giving young players the opportunity to play in the cup, even if he loses, he will not give reprimands, the same reason is also in the league and the Champions Cup, he often arranges youth team players to come on the bench in some games, when the performance is good, the credit is the player, and when the performance is bad, the black pot is carried by Mourinho.
Sometimes, the manager has to take on that role!
However, Berbatov is a difficult player, holding the ball with his back is a must, and his stopping skills are also very good, that is, he is a little lazy on the field, Xiao Yu In his previous life, there were Chinese fans who joked, saying that he ran all over the court, sweated a few drops, and his hairstyle was not messy, and he was known as Brother Chic.
This player has played very well under Redknapp's account, and he is also the player who must be suppressed in the next meeting game, otherwise, it will be a bit difficult for the Red Rebels to win!
Although they were beaten 4-2 by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, the Red Rebels were not strong in the Premier League, facing Blackburn Rovers at home.
The Red Rebels returned to their home stadium and ushered in a 0-5 away win in the first leg, and Blackburn, who were still mired in relegation, naturally would not be merciful, and Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero each scored a goal to help the team beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 and won the first round of the league after the winter break.
After this game, the Red Rebels travelled to London to take on West Ham United.
The Hammers sold Felipe? Melo, but did not introduce the corresponding strength of the star, so that the overall strength of the team has declined, the Red Rebels easily defeated the opponent 1:3 away, and the goal conceded in this game is the 11th goal of the Red Rebels this season.
Scoring six goals and conceding one goal in two games, the Red Rebels are still attacking fiercely after the winter break, especially Ronaldo and Messi, who scored in both games.
It's a pity that Kaka's goal drought continues, which has become a big regret for the Red Rebels' winning streak!
Everyone was praying for Kaka, and the fans were on hand to put up banners at every game to show their support for Kaka in their own way, and as a result, they were disappointed every time.
Fortunately, Kaka's performance was still excellent, with three assists in two games, three shots on target from eight attempts, but he couldn't get on the scoresheet, which is a pity!
But he's still the brightest star in the Premier League!
