The Reds were outraged by a hard-fought one-point win from Highbury in London, as they felt they should have picked up three points but were held to a draw by Arsenal at home.

On the pitch, a draw was acceptable to both sides, but for the Red Rebels, who were determined to get a win, a draw was a drop of two points, which allowed Arsenal to leapfrog Manchester United and reach the top of the Premier League for the first time this season.

The Red Rebels are third in the league behind Manchester United, and the schedule for the next fixtures is also less favourable for the Red Rebels.

The Ramadan period will not be until November 14, and there is still half a month to go, but in this half month, there will be 2 league games, 1 League Cup and 1 Champions Cup group stage, and the schedule is relatively frequent.

The League Cup has basically been confirmed to play with a substitute lineup, the Champions League group stage is a key battle, Mourinho has decided to qualify early, so this game must be won, but this game is a home game against CSKA Moscow, as long as the team performs normally, it is basically not a problem to win the opponent.

Once the right to qualify from the group was determined, the task for the team was relaxed.

Both league games were also played at home against West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth.

The Red Rebels have a certain psychological advantage at home, and with the fact that they have won all of their home games this season, they should be able to win both games.

After careful consideration, Mourinho negotiated with the coaching staff and decided to win the right to qualify for the Champions Cup group first, so all the main players were arranged to start in the Champions Cup group stage on November 2.

CSKA Moscow is still fighting for a place after three rounds of group stage play, and for them, an away game against the Red Rebels is a must, and if they lose, they will be sentenced to death, so this team will be in the open.

The Red Rebels were intimidated by CSKA Moscow's momentum from the start, and were threatened on several occasions, but Vidic's solid backline and Cech's concentration saved a susceptible shot from CSKA Moscow.

Almost conceded a goal to make the Red Rebels players are shocked into a cold sweat, in the cold rain, the Red Rebels players gradually found their form, especially Beckham, England's midfielder suddenly took the ball forward, and Kaka made a wall-hitting combination, straight behind him.

Drogba pressed the opposition centre-back, turned and ran for the ball, and threw all his strength into the goal.

The ball hit the post, and the whole frame trembled.

Although he didn't score a goal, he played the momentum and fighting spirit of the Red Rebels in one fell swoop!

In the following game, the Red Rebels completely controlled the situation on the field, especially Drogba, who was particularly perverted in the face of the Russian team, and his mastery of technique became more and more proficient, causing him to appear comfortable on the field.

In the 48th minute, Drogba received Kaka straight stopper, knocked his heel, passed the opponent's central defender, dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area, and faced the attacking goalkeeper, his powerful shot went straight to the far corner of the goal, 1:0!

In the second half, after the rematch, the Red Rebels still showed a strong dominance, Kaka broke through with the ball in the middle, and completely disrupted the opponent's entire backline, killed the right side of the penalty area, and faced the opponent's back guard, easily got up and rubbed a curling ball.

Drogba, who performed well throughout the game, qualified in time in front of the goal, grabbed the opponent's goalkeeper before attacking, knocked the ball to the ground and rebounded into the net, 2:0!

The suspense was completely lost, and Mourinho replaced Beckham with Cesc Fabregas for the weekend's league game.

The appearance of the Spanish youngster injected a delicate breeze into the Red Rebels, especially after Messi replaced Arjen Robben, and several straight stops from Cesc Fabregas sent CSKA Moscow into disarray.

In the 81st minute, Cesc Fabregas received a pass from Curtis, got rid of the marking of a defender on the other side, and passed to De Rossi, who took the ball and handed it to Messi.

Drogba once again showed his improvement in all aspects as a powerful centre-forward, leaning on the opposition centre-back, playing out of position and half-turning and volleying in the ball as it arrived.

With such a close shot, the opponent's goalkeeper couldn't react at all, and could only watch the ball go into the net, 3:0!

It was Didier Drogba's first hat-trick for the Red Rebels and the first of his career, which made him very excited after scoring the third goal.

It was also with this hat-trick that Drogba was voted Man of the Match and was highly praised by the media after the game, especially for his versatility in the game.

Powerful shots, headers, half-turned volleys, Drogba has almost everything a top-class centre-forward should have, especially the kind of dominance he showed in the penalty area, which made CSKA Moscow suffer.

"I'm thankful to the Red Rebels, I'm grateful to the club for nurturing me, and every day here, I feel like I'm still improving." In a post-match interview with the media, Drogba was thrilled when asked to comment on his feelings about scoring a hat-trick.

"What? Am I at my best? Drogba immediately shook his head as if he were something, "No, I think I still have a long way to go, Mr Mourinho thinks I can continue to improve and I want to help the club score more goals." ”

Then Drogba grinned and drew a 2 on the live TV camera, few people know what it means, but the players inside the Red Rebels know very well that it is Drogba telling Villa, I have scored 2 more goals than you.

The two strikers had an agreement before the season to see who would score more goals, and before Drogba was one goal behind Villa, but after this game, Villa was two goals behind.

However, this also has something to do with the fact that Villa does not play as often as Drogba, but this does not mean that Villa is not reused.

After playing CSKA Moscow, the Red Rebels have won four games and secured the top spot in the group, and the next thing to watch out for is who the team will face in the knockout round of 16.

Three days later, the team hosted West Bromwich Albion.

Villa, who was hidden in the Champions Cup, started the game, with Ribery and Robben on his left and right, followed by Argentine teenager Aguero, Beckham and Mikel as starters, this is also Mikel's first start in the Premier League, this is also because Essien's fitness is not up to standard, De Rossi played the whole game in the Champions Cup, Yaya? Toure suffered a minor injury before the game.

Despite a number of key players not playing, the Red Rebels were thrilled in the game, starting with Villa, who were provoked by Didier Drogba, as the Spaniard fired a left-handed shot from the edge of the box into the back of the net with a curling shot past West Bromwich Albion.

Then he was in front of the goal after receiving a low cross from the right by Ribery.

After 2:0, West Bromwich Albion completely lost the fighting spirit to resist, the Red Rebels became more and more courageous, and Robben scored the third goal after a combination with Villa on the right side.

After the rematch in the second half, the Red Rebels obviously relaxed their offensive and played more calmly, while West Bromwich Albion consciously wanted to counterattack, but made a mistake in an attack, Mikel intercepted and passed to Beckham, who raised his head and made a long pass.

Villa tore apart West Bromwich Albion's entire backline like a bolt of lightning, entered the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper, calmly unloaded the ball, turned around and buckled, deducted the attacking goalkeeper, and pushed the empty goal, 4:0!

Villa, who also scored a hat-trick, was still very excited in the game, especially in the final moments, when he threatened on a couple of occasions and came close to scoring on two of those shots.

In retaliation, when Villa faced the media after the game, he raised his index finger at the media and then swung defiantly, as if to tell Drogba, you lost me by 1 goal again, never try to catch up with me.

Seeing the goal competition of the two strikers of the Red Rebels, the media is also very interested, among which the Sun has listed the goal data of Villa and Drogba, the two top scorers, for the Red Rebels in recent seasons, and the results are analyzed, Villa's efficiency is undoubtedly more than a step higher.

No one can question the Spaniard's ability to score, even though he has scored one more goals than Drogba in the Red Rebels this season.

This made many people feel unworthy for the Spaniard, because he should be more suitable than Drogba to play the main team and starter.

Villa laughed at the media's indignation at sowing discord.

"No, I don't think I'm in the team any way inferior to Didier, we are both in the same position, and there's Ismael, who's in the same position as us, but he's still young and needs to be tempered."

'Some people say that I don't please Mr. Mourinho, that's absolutely boring speculation, I have a good relationship with Mr. Mourinho, we talk almost everything, he will ask me, David, how are you on the bench for the next game? Then I would tell him what I really thought, and he would generally consider my wishes, and if it really didn't work, he would tell me about his considerations and difficulties, and that we understood each other and that we didn't have any problems. ”

"Barcelona and Manchester City want to buy me?" Villa faced the transfer scandal raised by reporters, he smiled and shook his head in denial, "My agent and I have not received even the slightest news at the moment, and I have not thought about leaving the Red Rebels, I am very happy here, I am improving every day, this is more important than anything else!" ”

As for the transfer scandal, Mourinho seems extremely calm.

'My players are not leaving, they all told me that no club has contacted them and they have not thought of leaving, they all respect the contract signed with the club, they are professional players with a great work ethic!'

'What do you think about the team's back-to-back wins, going well in the Premier League and the Champions League?'

Mourinho pondered for a moment, nodded a little haughtily and smiled: "Yes, it's very happy, I often tell my players that we Red Rebels are a very unique club, we were born to compete for titles, and we have been winning since the moment we were born. ”

"There has never been a club like us at the Red Rebels, where we keep winning and then gradually winning becomes our tradition and culture, so we always have the fighting spirit and confidence to outperform our opponents on the pitch and I'm happy to continue to shape this winning culture at the club!"

Compared to Mourinho, while enjoying the power unique to the winner, Xiao Yu had to start thinking about another thing.

England's next World Cup qualifier is on November 17, but before that, the dispute over the England squad has already been noisy in the media!
