The next time I heard about the incident, it was after the away game against Vienna.

In that game, the Red Rebels cleanly eliminated the opponent 0:2 and successfully entered the round of 32, the players were in a good mood, and after returning to Manchester, they were surrounded by the media and fans at the airport, including a reporter who threw the dispute between Ferguson and Manchester United's major shareholder Maunier to Xiao Yu.

"What do you think about the ** incident?" Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, "No, you should ask Peter this question?" Kenyon, he's the CEO of Manchester United, he'll tell you the answer, this is the Red Rebels! ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu immediately separated from the reporter's encirclement and got into the club's car.

Gibraltar Rock has retired with honor, followed by a two-year affair between Ferguson and Maunier, which have also been two relatively turbulent years for Manchester United, including Ferguson's insistence on selling Beckham and Keane, and Peter? Kenyon's move to Chelsea has caused a lot of turmoil for Manchester United.

But Xiao Yu is not ready to intervene in these matters, because this is Manchester United's family affairs, as the so-called clean officials are difficult to decide family affairs, whoever chooses to intervene at this time is a fool and an idiot!

I don't have anything to do with my own affairs, where can I have so much idleness?

…………

The round of 32 of the UEFA Cup will add eight third-place teams in the group stage of the Champions Cup, including strong giants such as Lazio and Liverpool, and the teams that can enter the round of 32 are basically quite good.

Ipswich were eliminated in the first round of the main competition, and the four English teams currently in the round of 32, Liverpool, Leeds United and Fulham are all Premier League teams, and only the Red Rebels are teams from League One, and this is also the only team from the top league in the round of 32.

Although there are also a number of teams in a weaker league, the Red Rebels are the only team in the second division, but their ability to beat Austrian Vienna is proof enough.

The draw for the round of 32 took place on the third day after the match against Austrian Vienna, and the Red Rebels were drawn against Real Betis from La Liga, a strong team in the upper middle of the Spanish table, who finished 8th in La Liga this season.

For this team, Xiao Yu's most impressive player is undoubtedly Joaquin, this player who was desperate for Real Madrid failed to enter Real Madrid in the end, and could only choose to go to Valencia, but now he is in a period of rapid rise and is known as the new Figo.

The first leg away to Real Betis was scheduled for November 29, before that, New Manchester United had two league games to play, and these two league games were not crowded, basically one game a week, it seemed relatively easy, and New Manchester United won the opponent by virtue of their own strength.

Mourinho attaches great importance to the round of 32 of the League Cup, and this is a two-legged knockout round, so there is no carelessness, and Boas went to Spain two weeks in advance to find out the opponent's information.

At this time, the data obtained from OPTA undoubtedly plays a very key role.

In the away game, the opponent is very strong, Mourinho decisively let the team play a defensive counterattack, using his own solid defense to contain the attack of the Real Betis team, and then tear the opponent's defense through efficient counterattacks.

Perhaps accustomed to playing in the Spanish league, Real Betis' defence left too much space for the new Manchester United to counter-attack, especially when their wide attacks were contained, and they clearly lacked more effective means.

Essien and Patrice Evra combined to silence Joaquín, who had performed well in the Spanish league, failed to show the style of the new Figo, but the Red Rebels took advantage of a mistake by Real Betis in the second half to tear through Betis' defence from the right, and Hleb smashed into the box and crossed Didier Drogba to score widely.

0：1！

No one expected that against Real Betis, the first to break the deadlock would be the new Manchester United, and in fact, even Real Betis themselves panicked, and their crazy counterattacks hit the new Manchester United defense again and again.

However, this backline composed of Patrice Evra, Terry, Curtis and Toure is solid, especially with Juninho Jr. and Essien in front of them, and the talented goalkeeper Cech behind them, plus the new Manchester United has always advocated the tactics of starting with the forward, so even if Real Betis's attack is strong, once they enter the 35-meter area of the new Manchester United goal, they will completely lose their effective methods.

It was also a big problem for all the teams facing the new Manchester United, who simply couldn't tear through the Red Rebels' defence, especially after taking a one-goal lead away from home, when Jose Mourinho allowed his side to pull back into their own half and Real Betis' attack was completely extinguished.

The final 30 minutes were like a tragedy unfolding, Real Betis had the advantage, but they were never able to break the deadlock, the Red Rebels were pressed and beaten, but with their own iron tenacity, they managed to hold the score 0-1 to the end, bringing home a very valuable away victory from Spain, as well as a valuable away goal.

On the other three English matches, Liverpool drew 0:0 away to Vitesse in the Netherlands, Leeds United was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Málaga, who are still inferior to Real Betis in the Spanish league, and Fulham lost 2:1 away to Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Four English teams have been in a League Cup campaign, with all three Premier League teams in a tough battle, with only the Red Rebels from League One getting a rare victory, which has been hyped up by the English media.

However, after returning to England, the new United did not get a respite, and the next month of December, they had to make up for the league fixtures they had previously adjusted, as well as deal with the Carabao Cup, so the whole of December was a double week.

League Cup, League Cup and League, the Red Rebels in December's third-line battle, in order to consider physical fitness, Mourinho had to make a trade-off, he took the initiative to find Xiao Yu, negotiated with him, and finally decided to give up the chicken-like League Cup and focus on the League Cup and the league.

In the most realistic and practical way, playing the UEFA Cup can make the Red Rebels famous in Europe, but the League Cup is a chicken honor that even many Premier League teams do not want to strive for.

However, for many teams, it is also troublesome to participate in European competitions, and the Red Rebels are now well-staffed, but Mourinho also has to admit that if he does not give up one of the competitions, it will be difficult for the Red Rebels to survive December and the following winter break.

…………

…………

With the plan in place, Mourinho fielded a large number of substitutes for the next Carabao Cup quarter-finals, and even Bosingwa, who had fallen out with him before, was given the chance to play.

This season Colo? Toure is firmly in the right wing-back position, he has excellent physicality, plenty of energy and no injuries, so Mourinho has given him plenty of chances, only to let Philippe once in a while? Lahm started in his place.

But then the schedule was tight, Mourinho asked Lahm to replace Evra at left wing-back, Bosingwa to play at right wing-back, the two central defenders also became Chiellini and Vidic, and the other midfielder played three backs, De Rossi, Yaya? Toure and Essien, the starting striker is Villa, the two wingers are Ribery and Palacio, and the goalkeeper is Almunia.

The second side of the Red Rebels were up against Premier League side Everton, and despite their tenacity and the game caused Moyes' side plenty of problems, they were unable to get a win at Goodson Park, when a world-class shot from Wayy Rooney found the back of the net for Almunia.

By the way, two players from China, Li Tie and Li Weifeng, both made their debuts in this game, and Xiao Yu's Chinese identity was widely publicized by the Chinese media as a Chinese derby.

Although the game was lost, the Red Rebels opened up their popularity in China with this game, especially when many Chinese media began to be curious about this team, they will find that the history of this team is so unique, and this is a team under the leadership of a Chinese owner, which makes the Red Rebels very recognized by Chinese fans.

Especially after the popular rebels defeated Real Betis 2-0 at home in the second leg of the next UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout round and entered the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup, the whole of Europe was surprised by this dark horse.

In the 2-0 win over Real Betis, the Red Rebels controlled the tempo of the game from start to finish, with Juninho Jr. at the back and flawless in both attack and defence, both of his assists helping his team-mates score.

Many media outlets mentioned before the game that Real Betis should use their attack to mobilize the Red Rebels' defence, using their delicate skills and excellent individual ability to overcome their opponents.

But in reality?

In the game, the Red Rebels' attack was sharper and more frequent than Real Betis, and when it came to technique, in terms of the success rate of one-on-one individual confrontations, the Red Rebels had an absolute advantage, and the four players of Drogba, Little Ronaldo, Hleb and Kaka almost turned the Real Betis team's defense upside down.

It's a complete defeat, a complete defeat!

With this victory, critics who thought the Red Rebels were lucky enough to make it to the round of 32 could shut up and have to admit that the Red Rebels eliminated Real Betis with an impeccable home victory.

The English media even sang praises for the victory of the Red Rebels, believing that a team in the second tier of England has played England's momentum in the UEFA Cup, while in the Premier League, except for Liverpool, who successfully entered the round of 16, whether it is Leeds United or Fulham, they have stopped at the round of 32.

Meanwhile, in the Red Rebels' favour, they were drawn against a modest opponent in the round of 16 against Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic, who eliminated weaker opponents from Serbia and Greece in the main draw.

Encountering this team, which is known as the weakest team in the round of 16, the Red Rebels have undoubtedly drawn the upper draw!
