Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Lu Wei finished solving the entertainment and returned home, it was almost ten o'clock, if it weren't for the next day's competition, he had a reason to get out, otherwise, the people of the entertainment company would not let him leave easily.

As soon as Lu Wei entered the door, he saw Barbara with her hair wrapped in a bath towel lying on the sofa watching a movie, Barbara saw Lu Wei come back, just smiled charmingly, walked the cat step by step closer to Lu Wei, and untied the towel wrapped in bright brown hair as she walked.

"Come on, Lu, help me dry my hair, I'm a little wet."

Lu Wei turned on the hair dryer with a wicked smile.

"Is it wet above or wet?"

"Nasty, stinky rascal."

............ One night without a word.

Early the next morning, Lu Wei sent Barbara on the plane back to Hungary, and it was the New Year soon, as a well-known big star in Hungary, Barbara was naturally indispensable for various activities.

Sending Barbara away, Lu Wei hurriedly drove to DW Stadium to meet the team, FC United's Christmas schedule this year is not a small test, on the 26th to go away to Wigan Athletic who are fighting for relegation, three days later still away to Aston Villa.

Although the team gave the players an extra day off for Christmas, even the Reds, who are only 70% in form, are not in the second-to-last Wigan Athletic ratio, and FC United, who played semi-mainly, won by two easy goals.

Aston Villa is arguably the favorite team of British high society, and the lion on the emblem and the nickname "Lion" can show the connection between this team and the British royal family, and Prince Charles and Prince William are also fans of Villa.

Because the team was established very early, the results in the early 20th century were quite good, and the Champions League won in 1982, the huge historical heritage is an important reason why Aston Villa has the favor of the upper class, and after the team's relegation this summer, Xia Jiantong's United Ruikang Group acquired 100% of Aston Villa for 76 million pounds, becoming another English team with a Chinese background.

But today's Aston Villa is far from the English Lions of the past, nor the youthful team of ten years ago, and the relegation of the team has caused them to lose many stars.

Senegalese midfielder Gueye moved to Everton, and the Premier League king Amada. Traore went to Middlesbrough with Benin international Gerstold, and although the defender Clarke is still in the Championship, Newcastle United offer better treatment and prospects.

There are also Guzan, Westwood, Sinclair, Lescott and others have all chosen to leave, although the summer boss invested £50 million in the transfer market to sign, and also invited Di Mateo, who won Chelsea's first Champions League title, but the team's results are inversely proportional to the investment, winning only one of 12 games, and manager Di Matteo was dismissed in October.

Steve who had just been sacked by Hull City for poor results. Bruce immediately took office, and the old friends of the Red Rebels returned to the Championship half a year later.

However, this time Lu Wei did not leave face for his old friends, although the two exchanged pleasantries before the game, but the Red Rebels played very fiercely after the start of the game, leading by two goals in the first half.

In the second half, Bruce replaced a 21-year-old youngster, and Lu Wei fixed his eyes on it and immediately called Tavernir and Hayden to say a few words.

"Isaac, see that new kid, stick him to death, don't let the ball be under his feet for too long, don't give him enough passing space, in short, don't let him feel comfortable holding the ball. Tavernir, you help defend more on the right, that kid's breakthrough on the left is very threatening, you must remember to return to the defense after assisting. What

makes Lu Wei pay so much attention to it, Bruce replaced it with the future England's first "Mr. Billion" Jack. Grealish.

Although "Mr. Billion" was criticized in his first season with Manchester City, fans thought he was not worth so much money at all, Lu Wei also once thought so, watching him play worse than Sterling, not as good as De Bruyne, not many goals and assists, that is, running more actively.

But as Lu Wei got deeper and deeper in the position of head coach, he also understood why Grealish was worth so much money, indeed, his statistics were not good, but Grealish was not a striker who liked to brush his personal data, which is already a very good quality in an attacking player.

And he has a very strong understanding of tactics, has a very high ball intelligence and awareness, even the defense is very positive, in terms of personal ability he is not as good as his Manchester City team-mates, but on the other hand, that does not mean that Grealish's ability is very diverse and balanced.

And what Lu Wei values most about him is his sense of rhythm, Grealish is not a passing master like De Bruyne, nor a midfield magic like Modric, he is a cog that can connect all the parts to turn, and with him on the court, the team can complete all kinds of tactical tasks.

However, it is clear that Hayden and Tavernir did not listen to the manager, having seen talented teenagers like Bowen, Daniel and Sancho in the team, they did not think that Grealish had anything to be afraid of by the manager, and if he was really that good, how could he not play in a team like Aston Villa.

But soon Hayden paid the price for his underestimation, Grealish did not appear on the left flank after coming on, but as the front back of Aston Villa, in the 57th minute, Grealish took the ball in the middle, Hayden did not go up to press, but put on a defensive posture to keep a distance of one meter from Grealish, in his opinion, this distance can be solved no matter what Grealish does.

Grealish wasn't in a hurry, he remembers what Bruce said to him at halftime.

'FC United's defender Hayden is a strong front-defensive back, but his defence is somewhat conservative and sometimes trusts his own judgment too much.

Since the frontal defense is strong, then I will come from the side. Grealish held the ball firmly at his feet, and after observing the movement of his teammates out of the corner of his eye, he already had an idea in his mind.

I saw that his right shoulder sank and made a breakthrough to the right, and Hayden witnessed thinking that you are a lot more visible like me, which is nothing more than pretending to break through to the right and then suddenly change to the left, what's so difficult.

Hayden just took a step back with his left foot and waited for Grealish to take the initiative to change direction, and then hit himself, but Grealish did not fake the action, but rushed directly from the right with the ball.

"I lean!" Hyden, who felt that he had made a mistake, immediately took a long leg and chased after him, although it was half a beat slower, but Hayden still managed to block the space for Grealish to continue to break through and shoot, and at this moment, Grealish passed the ball.

Grealish shook his ankles under Hayden's interference, leaned back and extended his right foot to pass the ball in order to pass the ball earlier.

Scotland international McCormack seized the positional advantage and knocked on Mendy's door with a precise right-footed kick and Aston Villa pulled a goal back.
