Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

The episode didn't affect the players' preparations, but there were ups and downs in form at the time of the game, and many fans may still be digesting the volatility of the news, with attendance on the Red Court being less than 50% for the first time, and even more than 3,000 diehard fans were present to support the Reds in the away game against Charlton Athletic.

FC United also failed to win these two matches, drawing and losing to end the February match, and the first opponent in March was Lu Wei's old acquaintance, Brighton, who is currently in fourth place, seven points ahead of FC United, Chris United. Since taking the helm at Brighton in January last year, Hughton's results have been getting better and better.

In the first half of the season, FC United only won their team by a very big goal of luck before the end of the game, Hughton must be unwilling, and Brighton is still in front of FC United, and has a good chance to break into the top two straight to the Premier League, while FC United is only in ninth place, whether it can squeeze into the promotion play-offs is another matter.

Gnabry was in very good form in the pre-match warm-up, last time he beat Brighton in the 92nd minute, and after moving to FC United, Gnabry only sat on the bench for just over a month, firmly occupying a starting position, whether on the left or right.

He has already contributed eight goals and seven assists to the team so far this season, and if he continues to maintain this form, it should not be a problem to have a "double-double record" at the end of the season.

Sollot also occupies a starting position with his own efforts, Hogan continues to wait on the bench for the opportunity to play, although Sollot is not as good as Hogan in terms of scoring efficiency and flexibility, but the 1.95-meter Norwegian giant is not a traditional stake center, the foot movement is not slow at all, with Michu and Gnabry as the main attacker, Sollot is more tactically compatible with his teammates.

The first goal of the game was the cooperation between the three of them, Gnabry broke through from the right and passed into the box, Sollot took possession of the ball and turned back to Michu who inserted it, Michu fake a real dunk past Dunk, observed Gnabry's position to pass the ball, a beautiful straight plug, Gnabry will be good without offside, in the small penalty area to score the ball.

Once FC United took the lead, it was easy for the next thing to get into their rhythm.

Since entering the Championship, FC United have rarely been able to play a big game from time to time as before, not only because the opponent has become stronger, but also to maintain the players' fitness and hunger for goals, this game is no exception, Lu Wei immediately organized the players to start defensive counterattack after leading in the first half.

FC United's formation was 433, but the nominal two wingers were not fixed on the wing, and Michu withdrew to the midfield to participate in the organization and served as a second attacking point when attacking.

Gnabry, on the other hand, is a free man up front, running wherever there is a gap, which also makes it difficult for Brighton's back line to watch him.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Gnabry switched to the left flank and fouled Dunk with a brilliant personal breakaway, FC United were given a chance to take a free-kick 27 metres from the goal, at a wide angle that looked like a direct shot.

Robertson, Michu and Holihaan stand in front of the ball, Robertson is on the right, Holihaan is on the left, Michu is in the middle, two left-footed and one right-footed, all three have the possibility to shoot.

Looking at the three whispering in front of the ball, this made Brighton goalkeeper Stockdale difficult, FC United's free kicks are difficult to defend because they all have a record of taking free kicks, which side is it to defend?

After the referee blew the whistle, Robertson ran, Michu and Holihaan did not move, it seems that Robertson came to the penalty, Stockdale thought like this and moved two steps to the right.

I saw that Robertson just stepped over the ball and ran to the side after running quickly, and Holihaan and Michu started running at the same time.

“Shit！ It actually shook me. Stockdale cursed secretly and stood up, intending to wait for the ball to be kicked out before making a move, believing in his reflexes.

Holihaan ran quickly, Michu was just tiptoeing, it seemed that Holihahn came to take the penalty and did not run, and the Brighton walls were ready to jump up and intercept.

Unexpectedly, Holihahn was also a pretense, running to the football to raise his foot to shoot, but suddenly closed his foot and slammed the football with his heel, and Michu, who was tiptoeing with a small step, kicked the ball out with a stride, and the Brighton Wall also quickly jumped up to try to see if he could stop the football in the air.

But is this a shot? No. Michu kicked the ball to the left side of the penalty area, which was exactly the direction Robertson ran over just now, and everyone's attention was on Michu and Holihahn, who were playing flowers in front of the football, completely forgetting Robertson, who was looking at the beginning.

Robertson coincided with the trajectory of football at this time, adjusted his feet and raised his foot to shoot, fully adjusted with full force, no one next to him interfered, the goalkeeper also did not react because of the obstruction of the line of sight, if such a shot could not be shot, Lu Wei would have to train Robertson 1,000 shots.

Robertson is usually a very dedicated player, as a defender but did not put down shooting training, so the quality of this shot is also very high, although Stokedale ran over and opened his arms to expand the defensive area, but the powerful football still flew into the goal.

At 2-0, FC United extended the scoreline, and Robertson pointed his finger after scoring and thanked him for the assist. This goal is not only the credit of Michu and Robertson, but also played a key role in Holihaan's fake pass, of course, not forgetting Gnabry, who created the foul, but also Sollot, Grims, Tarkovsky and others who involved the defense in the box.

Football has never been decided by one or two people, it is the joint efforts of 11 people on the field to win, and unity has always been one of the important team cultures of FC United.

In normal training, Lu Wei and Steele will often ponder some free kick cooperation tactics, what "caterpillar shooting" ah, what "you push me to step on him to shoot", this cooperation is only one of the usual practice.

Lu Wei is also very excited off the field, this matching tactic is his own figure, different from the tactical playing style of other coaches who have been copying before, since last season, Lu Wei gradually integrated his ideas into the team, no longer plagiarism, but really his own tactical ideas, not only FC United is moving to the big stage, Lu Wei is also entering the ranks of first-class coaches in the field of coaching.

The rest of the game was very simple, the fully retired FC United began to meet Brighton's onslaught, Lu Wei also replaced Mi Chu for Pinnock changed the back five, after a fierce bombardment, the score on the scoreboard was still 2:0, Brighton once again lost to FC United.

"Brighton nemesis", this is the title given to FC United by the media after the game.
