Chapter 299 dissatisfied

Although Manchester United suffered a three-game tie in the league before and was overtaken by Arsenal, Ferguson still made a lot of rotations in this game.Ferguson surprisingly sent goalkeeper Carroll and striker Forlan to start.In addition, Solskjaer also ushered in the opportunity to start after being absent for 6 months.

Manchester United only won 6 games in the past 3 games. Tottenham, which has not won Manchester United in the past 7 seasons, hopes to use the opponent's downturn to end the embarrassing match record. The injured former British footballer Redknapp appeared on the bench.

Like London, Manchester is also experiencing strong winds today.

After the start of the game, Tottenham first launched an offensive against the visitors. Although they were quickly pushed back by Manchester United, Bai Baihe's mentality was obviously different.

The first shot of the game came from Tottenham, with Malny crossing low and Robbie Keane missing.

Then Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball to Forlan in the penalty area, but Gardner made a clearance first.Roy Keane also tackled compatriot Robbie Keane in front of the penalty area.

In the 8th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy's powerful volley went over the crossbar.

………………

In a fast-paced game, time passes quickly, and 30 minutes is up in the blink of an eye.

David Preet sits in the dugout, unfazed even though his side are being mobbed by Manchester United.

Yin Jun took the ball in the middle, Manchester United back and forth in front of Tottenham's penalty area, but failed to find a suitable attack path.

Ruud came out to respond, and Yin Jun passed the football to him.

"Vud van Nistelrooy had the ball outside the box and as a centre-forward he didn't stay in front of the goal, he pulled it out," Lineker said.

In today's game, Ferguson made an appropriate rotation for the team, and he is already preparing for the next devil's schedule.

Because it is expected that Tottenham will adopt a relatively conservative strategy, Ferguson formed a 433 offensive formation, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Forlan and Solskjaer formed the striker trident.In addition, the three midfielders are a combination of Yin Jun, Giggs and Keane.

In order to tear apart Tottenham's defense, Ferguson asked the offensive players in the frontcourt to keep running, looking for opportunities, and interspersed back and forth.

This time, Van Nistelrooy once again pulled outside the penalty area.

Tottenham's central defender Gardner rushed out and built a line of defense on the line of the penalty area.

Anthony Gardner is 1.9 meters tall and weighs as much as 90 kilograms, which is super strong against.

Van Nistelrooy had the ball, he made a gesture to pass the ball, Gardner stretched out his foot to intercept, but Ruud van Nistelrooy was just a feint.

Van Nistelrooy suddenly made a move to break through, and Gardner came up to entangle the opponent. He thought he could squeeze away Van Nistelrooy by virtue of his excellent physical fitness and steal the ball.However, Gardner quickly realized the difficulty of his opponent: "This guy is really good at protecting the ball!"

Ruud van Nistelrooy held Anthony Gardner, who tried twice to steal the ball to no avail.

Suddenly, Van Nistelrooy tried to turn around forcefully, and Gardner quickly moved his body to intercept.But Fanny pulled his body back and twisted his buttocks to the other side, and Gardner was squeezed away by the twisting of his buttocks.

Tottenham full-back Christian Zieger rushed over to defend.

This was the moment Fanny had been waiting for.Van Nistelrooy passed the ball before Zieger and Gardner's encircling stroke.He stuffed the football through the gap between the two men's double-team defense.

………………

"Beautiful through ball!"

"Yin Jun!"

Yin Jun received the ball from the right. He did not choose to continue to break through with the ball or shoot, but directly took the football to the left of the penalty area.

"Gigs!"

Tottenham's defensive attention was attracted by Ruud van Nistelrooy's penetrating pass and Yin Jun who got the ball.Everyone thought that Yin Jun would choose to dribble the ball directly into the penalty area, or choose to shoot. No one thought that he would pass from the right to the left.

A football passed the goal.Ryan Giggs suddenly went forward, through the entire Spurs defense, and appeared behind them.

"Giggs! Onside!!" The commentator John Mortensen shouted at the top of his lungs.

There was an exclamation at Old Trafford, and some Manchester United fans couldn't wait to stand up and prepare to cheer for Giggs' goal.

Giggs, who succeeded in anti-offside, was very excited. He knew this was his chance.

In the face of the attacking Spurs goalkeeper Keller, Giggs showed commendable calm.He didn't look forward and backward, didn't hesitate, and shot directly into the far corner.

He rubbed the shot with the outside of his instep, and the football drew an arc and went around the left hand of Tottenham goalkeeper Keller.

Keller has nothing to do with such a close and decisive shot. He can only hope that Giggs' shot will miss.Then, he heard cheers.

Behind the goal on this side is the stand where Manchester United fans sit.

The Tottenham goalkeeper felt a chill, he knew it was over.

In fact, the same is true, the football almost sticks to the inside of the far post and spins into the goal!
………………

The iconic roar of the old BBC commentator John Mortensen sounded in the ears of countless fans.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"Giggs! Giggs! Giggs! He scored, Manchester United scored!
"In the 30th minute of the game, Manchester United scored. 1:0! They took the lead!!"

"Beautiful!! Giggs' shot! Manchester United took a one-goal lead!"

"The key goal, facing a densely defended team, the first goal is the most critical, it is the goal that breaks the deadlock."

"1:0, this goal means that Tottenham's defensive tactics have failed. They are now behind in the score, and it is meaningless to retract their defense. Once Tottenham presses out, it will mean more trouble for them. Big because Manchester United are one of the best teams at counter-attacking quickly."

……

The Tottenham players obviously thought of this too, so at this moment, the Tottenham players looked very frustrated, standing on the field and watching the Manchester United people celebrating in a daze.

Giggs, who scored the goal, ran to the corner flag with his arms outstretched, and he pumped his fists into the stands in celebration.

In the camera, Manchester United fans rushed forward like a tide, celebrating excitedly.

"Come on! Red Devils!" The Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford shouted.

In the stadium, other Manchester United players also gathered around Giggs to celebrate together.

This goal was too timely and critical, as if it had pierced that layer of window paper.

The game has been going on for half an hour, but under Tottenham's conservative tactics, coupled with the strong wind on the field, which affected the accuracy of Manchester United's passing, Manchester United did not win too many absolute scoring opportunities.

This will be the goal that opens the door to victory.

On the sidelines, Ferguson got up from his seat, but he just applauded symbolically, and then stood there looking at the field.He didn't celebrate much, he told the players in this way: It's just a ball, it doesn't satisfy him.
