Chapter 38 Reversal
On the court, Bell also used his actual actions to prove that he was not talking about the scene.

When the players from both sides shook hands, Bell held Dabao's hand and whispered a few words. The smile on his face was also very sincere. After letting go of his hand, Bell gave Dabao a hug.

However, when the game started, Tottenham turned the tables and gave Manchester United a huge disincentive.

Just 7 minutes into the game, Bale broke through Raphael from the wing at high speed, and sent a cross to the penalty area. Defoe followed up in the middle and occupied a favorable position. Ferdinand, who was in charge of defending, kept entangled with the opponent. Together, but just when the two sides were about to grab the spot, Defoe suddenly fell to the ground, and at this time the referee's whistle also sounded.

Then he pointed to the penalty spot.

Although Ferdinand has been trying to explain.

But the referee was very firm in his determination.

Bell took the penalty kick and volleyed the ball into Manchester United's goal.

0 to 1, in the 9th minute of the game, Tottenham took the lead with a penalty kick.

After the next game restarted, Tottenham also began to shrink their formation and played a defensive counterattack. In today's game, Tottenham's head coach Boas, who just settled in the summer, arranged a 451 formation in this game. The number of midfielders has an advantage. , plus the two full-backs Kyle Walker and Bale are both speed-type full-backs, and their ability to insert assists in the back row is very good. Although it was facing Manchester United's frenzied attack, the scene did not lose the wind.

Tottenham's counterattack also put Manchester United's defense to a great test.

For a while, there was a stalemate on the court.

To make Manchester United's situation worse, in the 19th minute of the game, Bell did not retreat after assisting in the back row, but participated in the attack at the front of the penalty area. Dembele's pass At Bale's feet, a long shot from the front of the penalty area once again broke through De Gea's fingers.

0 to 2, Manchester United fell behind by two goals in 10 minutes.

This kind of situation was not expected by everyone before the game. To be honest, the big treasure of the ball is more responsible. It was he who made a mistake defending Dembele that caused the ball to pass to Bell.

For a while, the Manchester United fans in the stands were also a little depressed.

Ferguson's expression didn't change much as he stood on the sidelines. As the game progresses, many people are wondering if the five-game winning streak at the beginning will end here?

Being terminated at home is a result that many Manchester United fans do not want to see.

In the following time, although Ferguson continued to direct the players on the field from the sidelines, there was still no change on the scene for Manchester United.

Dabao also sent out several precise long passes, but it is a pity that neither Rooney nor Van Persie was in a good state today, and they failed to grasp several opportunities.

Even Rooney's one-handed chance football was blocked by Tottenham goalkeeper Friedel.

In addition, the more important thing is that Boas obviously has a deep understanding of Manchester United. He has done a good job in defending Dabao, and because the opponent has shrunk the formation, Dabao's long-range shots have no chance to play. .

In the last ten minutes of the first half, the two sides ended in a stalemate again.

In the end, Tottenham led Manchester United by two goals and entered the halftime break.

Soon after the 15-minute halftime break, Ferguson also adjusted the personnel during the halftime break, and Scholes replaced Carrick.

When he walked out of the player tunnel, Ferguson also grabbed Dabao.

"Jack, if you have a chance in the second half, you can go forward. You can play more boldly and don't be limited by your position. Can you understand what I mean? Just like you played in the last game."

"I see, sir."

"Well, pay attention to communicating with your teammates, and keep a good distance from Paul, and always be in a reasonable supporting position."

"OK, I understand."

"Go ahead and let them get to know you again."

Ferguson patted Dabao on the shoulder and said.

Soon the players from both sides returned to the court, and the second half of the game started with the referee's whistle.

It seems that the game situation in the first half was reversed.

The game just started, in the 48th minute, after receiving the back pass from Scholes, Dabao did not hand the ball over, but suddenly dribbled the ball forward. Originally, Tottenham were guarding Dabao to pass the ball to Scholes. Dempsey was playing the ball, but Dabao's move immediately disrupted Tottenham's plan. Dempsey rushed towards Dabao. Looking at the opponent's posture, Dabao made an emergency stop and then suddenly flicked the ball with his left foot. , the football happened to pass between Dempsey's unsteady legs, and the instant acceleration of Dabao's feet kicked off the ground and wiped past Dempsey very powerfully.

Seeing that Dabao wanted to pass him, Dempsey also took the initiative to engage in physical contact, but obviously he underestimated Dabao's strength. After the physical contact between the two, Dabao's body just swayed, but the center of gravity quickly adjusted He came back, but he himself tripped over something, staggered and then fell to the ground. The physical contact between the two happened under the eyes of the referee. Seeing Dempsey fell to the ground, the referee put both hands A flat raise signaled the continuation of the game.

Dabao, who passed Dempsey, accelerated to catch up with the football, and because Dempsey fell to the ground, he lost his defense against Dabao. As a result, a loophole appeared in Tottenham's midfield defense in an instant, and as Dabao As he continued to dribble the ball deeper, this loophole was gradually magnified.

At this time, everyone in Manchester United was also running without the ball. The two full-backs Rafael and Evra reached near the center line. Scholes always maintained a very reasonable contact distance between himself and Dabao. Nani and Valencia on the road are also pulling the opponent's wing defense.

As for the positions of Rooney and Van Persie, Tottenham's two central defenders did not dare to take it lightly.

Seeing that Dabao is still dribbling forward, he is already in Dabao's range at this time. Another midfielder Sigurdsson of Tottenham can only run towards Dabao, trying to make Dabao speed up. Slow down, as long as you entangle Dabao, then Dempsey, who has been chasing behind him, can form a double-team with him against Dabao.

But what happened next forced him to make a change.

When Dabao was running, he directly swung his right leg to shoot. Sigurdsson could only be prepared to block the eye-catching shot.
