The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 653
"Tottenham Hotspur's free kick in the frontcourt...Vidal sent it quickly, or to Ribéry on the left!"

"Franck Ribery faced Rafael one-on-one. With a fake move, Raphael jumped too hard and was deceived. He quickly made a pass and made a cross!"

"In the penalty area, Cavani and Evans were fighting for a header. Evans made a header to clear the siege. Carrick passed the ball forward with his big foot at the front of the penalty area."

The ball quickly fell to Rooney's feet. Rooney took the ball and brought it forward, but at this time Pirlo, Ramsey and Vidal had all returned to their defensive positions. Ramsey and Pirlo wanted to double-team Rooney, but The latter passed the ball directly and went to the front to find Benzema, but Kompany blocked Benzema with his body and stopped the ball directly, but it was a bit big.

Benzema wanted to rush to grab Kompany's ball, but the Belgian quickly passed it to Pirlo. Pirlo was harassed by Rooney and quickly passed it to Vidal who came over to respond.

Just when Vidal didn't seem to have many support points, central defender Thiago Silva ran forward behind him and raised his hand for the ball.

Vidal scored the ball to the right and gave it to Thiago Silva. At this time, Tottenham turned from defense to offense again, very fast, and Messi pulled back to meet Tia Go Silva.

The Argentine holds the ball, with Evra behind him, and Messi's ability to hold the ball is very good, but Manchester United's pressure on him is also very fierce, forcing Messi to dribble the ball to the right, and Alves is very fast. The right line rushed forward, but Manchester United's Evans, Evra and Carlos Tevez, who had returned to defense, had formed a triangle double-team for both of them.

Messi gave the ball to Alves, but Evans got stuck, intercepted the ball from Alves, and then handed it to Evra in the first place, and Messi quickly entangled Evra , forcing the Frenchman to have almost no way to hold the ball well, while Alves suddenly rushed back from the front and broke the ball at Evra's feet.

Just when Alves steals the ball, Vidal quickly rushed forward from the middle, raising his hand for the ball.

Alves passed the ball to Vidal, who was touched by Las Diarra, and then passed to Cavani who pulled out of the penalty area. The latter hit the penalty area with a wall, and Vidal moved forward quickly Chong, formed a beautiful two-over-one cooperation near the top of the penalty area, and rushed into the penalty area to chase the ball.

Ferdinand's reaction was very fast. He threw off Cavani and rushed towards Vidal on the right side of the penalty area. Seeing that he had no angle, Vidal accelerated to catch up with the ball and made a cross from the penalty area line. The ball fell into the penalty area because he lost his balance.

The ball rolled quickly to the left along the small penalty area line. At this time, there was almost a large open space on the left side of Manchester United's goal, and Ribery just appeared on the left corner of the small penalty area, facing the coming The ball, an easy push with his right foot, sent the ball into Manchester United's goal again.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Ribery scored twice, a very, very beautiful goal!!!!"

"Eight minutes and 24 seconds, Tottenham Hotspur have already led 2:0!!!!"

"Manchester United, Manchester United, what's going on with Ferguson's formation in this game? Why was Tottenham Hotspur's crazy attack after the opening, but Manchester United's defense was not at all. Can't stop Tottenham Hotspur's attack? Already two goals behind, and it's still a home game, will this become a big score?"

Andy Gray felt that the whole process from the beginning of the game to the present was really exciting. Both sides played unreservedly, but relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive and defensive transitions were faster. Pressing, pressing and pressing are also better, and they have more changes from defense to attack.

The first conceded goal may be said to be the carelessness of the defense line, which gave Ribery a chance to counter offside, but the second conceded goal, Manchester United had seven people defending at the front of the penalty area, and three of them blocked Messi and Alves, after successfully stealing the ball, were quickly stolen again.

And when Vidal rushed to the front of the penalty area and asked Cavani to cooperate, Manchester United had four players around the top of the arc, but they couldn't stop the two South American players from collaborating two-on-one and hitting the wall, even if it was a reaction. Ferdinand, who was faster, failed to stop Vidal's cross to the left in time.

"The defensive attention was drawn to the right by Messi and Alves, which made Manchester United's defense on the left a little careless. At this time, when Vidal came up to cooperate with Cavani, Manchester United's defense was torn apart! "

Richard Keith was very impressed by Vidal's attack this time, "In this attack, Vidal really showed that he has quite good foot skills, especially this kick in the penalty area The cross pass, the ball and himself are sprinting at high speed, and being able to pass it out definitely reflects his strength!"

Andy Gray laughed after hearing this, "Before everyone thought that Vidal would be a thug-type butcher like Gattuso, but now judging from the process of the game, he should be a very impactful player. The skills at the feet are also quite good, and he is an all-round player who can also contribute on the defensive end."

"Yes!" Richard Keith nodded in agreement, "The game has progressed so far. Although we have no statistics, Ramsey and Vidal's defensive statistics such as running and interception should be good. Not only Just them, Tottenham Hotspur almost from front to back, everyone is very engaged and the morale is very high!"

"More importantly, I think this Tottenham Hotspur team no longer advocates some delicate technical cooperation as in the past, but adopts a more direct, but also more threatening, faster and more efficient team. With the combination of passing and cutting, it seems that more possession of the ball is still on Messi's side on the right, and only he is in possession of the ball."

The live TV footage was shown on the sidelines, and Tottenham Hotspur coach Ye Qiu was seen waving at the players in the coaching area of ​​the away team and shouting, "He seems to want to remind his players that a two-goal lead is not enough. It's still not safe!" Andy Gray said with a chuckle.

Richard Keith also smiled, "Manchester United has indeed had a lot of reversals, and it is less than 10 minutes now. It is a bit naive to think that Manchester United can win with a two-goal lead!"

But soon, everyone noticed that Tottenham Hotspur didn't want to continue to strengthen their attack, but began to consciously slow down the rhythm. This was the intention of Ye Qiu's gestures and shouts.

"Oh, we saw that Tottenham Hotspur have fallen in the backcourt, and the players in the frontcourt have also consciously slowed down!"

Richard Keith chuckled, "Smart play, now leading by two goals, I will play with you slowly!"

But Manchester United did not seem to intend to accept this rhythm. They began to actively press themselves up, including Benzema, Tevez and Rooney, all of whom were aggressively pressing and pressing Tottenham Hotspur's backcourt.

"Manchester United is quitting, you scored me two goals with a fast pace, and you want to slow down the pace after you get cheap?" Andy Gray laughed and teased Manchester United's current state of mind, "And the players of Manchester United now look like Seems a little irritable."

During a defense, Tevez fouled Pirlo and received the first yellow card of the game.

"Manchester United's current situation is indeed relatively passive, and the pressure is even greater. At Old Trafford, they were beaten so embarrassingly by their opponents at the beginning. At this time, Tottenham chose to slow down, which is beneficial to the North London team, but it is a kind of torture for Manchester United."

Andy Gray felt the same way, "You can go fast if you want to, and slow if you want to. Where am I?"

"Yes, that's the psychology!" Richard Keith analyzed.

"But also pay attention to Ye Qiu's strategy, especially Tottenham Hotspur's style in the past, if you dare to press up and press, I will use my pass to catch the ball, use my possession to slip you, just follow I was like monkey sliding on the training ground. You know, one of Tottenham Hotspur’s training programs is the monkey sliding game, and they have released some videos of the monkey sliding game before. It is indeed quite interesting. It's a little tricky!"

"Yes, this is also the most unfavorable factor for Manchester United now. You are passive in the score. Don't press it. It is difficult for you to take the initiative. If you press it, it is tantamount to letting the opponent slip away for nothing, and it is even very likely because of you. Pressing will lead to a decrease in physical fitness, a loose formation, and the opponent may even find a loophole."

Andy Gray nodded, he noticed an interesting phenomenon, "I found that the position of Tottenham Hotspur's front trident is not fixed, Cavani is not limited to the middle, retreat or pull the side , Messi and Franck Ribery also often switch positions, I think this is a very interesting change."

Richard Keith also noticed, "Look, now Vidal is on the left, Ramsey has moved to the right, they are also switching positions, I think the whole front of Tottenham now. The combination doesn't seem to have a fixed position, it just changes around like this, and runs according to the needs of the situation on the field, and it doesn't matter where it goes."

"Yes, and what's interesting is that when they conceded the ball, everyone went into a counter-attack, and because Vidal and Ramsey were behind them, the defensive pressure on the front three was much relieved, so they played It's freer and more decisive, which makes Manchester United very difficult to defend!"

"This is indeed a phenomenon worth noting!" Richard Keith also felt that this was not a simple change, but a brand-new tactical thinking of Tottenham Hotspur, or offensive thinking. It will no longer pay attention to fixed routines and positions, but to infiltrate, run, and connect at will according to the situation on the field.

While the two commentators were analyzing, another tense scene appeared on the court.

Manchester United's frontcourt was very aggressive. Thiago Silva had no choice but to see an opportunity. A long pass crossed the center line and came to Ribery, who retreated to get the ball from the right side of the frontcourt.

The Frenchman took the ball with his back and wanted to get rid of Evra, but the latter was also very experienced and did not give Ribéry enough opportunities to block him from turning around, and both Carrick and Tevez also They all double-teamed Ribery at the same time, obviously trying to wrap the French scarred face inside.

Cavani's position leaned to the right, pulling out Evans, and seeing this situation, Messi took the initiative to come from the left to the center, and responded to Ribery's pass before Manchester United's defense formed a double team. ball.

Messi was right at the center of the five-man defense, Ferdinand and Evans blocked him and the big penalty area, and Evra, Carrick and Las Diarra were all about to surround him immediately Yes, it is almost a sure thing to win one out of five.

But Messi stopped the ball very well, the ball hardly left his feet, and he turned sideways while stopping the ball. At this time, he saw Vidal behind Ferdinand, pointing forward, and Ferdinand seemed to have noticed Bidal Dar, a bit distracted, so Messi goes straight for a through ball.

The ball passed between Ferdinand and Evans, and the speed of the ball was very fast. While Ferdinand and Evans retreated quickly, they were also shortening the distance. They wanted to intercept the ball, but Bidal was obviously faster. Before them, he fell to the ground with a shovel pass and sent the ball to the right.

Cavani quickly followed up. After stopping the ball, he was at the front of the penalty area. Seeing that De Gea was standing a little outside, he directly shot a powerful shot with his right foot, like a thunderbolt, directly breaking through De Gea's goal. 3:0!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"We were just saying, just reminding Manchester United that Tottenham Hotspur are very good at this kind of monkey game. They want you to go up and press, to press, and then see through your loopholes and directly counterattack quickly. Hit you by surprise!"

"3:0, the game has just progressed to No. 16 minutes. The Red Devils and Manchester United have been defeated in this game. Tottenham Hotspur started the game like a broken bamboo and scored three goals in a row. For Manchester United, It was definitely a very painful blow, Ferguson seems powerless now!"

After the explosive shot, Cavani rushed towards Vidal immediately. The kick was thanks to Vidal. If he hadn't changed his mind temporarily, he knew that his speed might not be as fast as Ferdinand, so he tackled the pass to the right ahead of time. , for the unguarded Cavani, the Uruguayan striker may not be able to score this goal!
"Manchester United's defense is almost useless now. They have not found an effective way to contain Tottenham Hotspur's fast passing and receiving. Ribery and Messi both rely on their personal ability to hold the ball and do it. Cooperate, an easy through behind, will tear your defense line, very dangerous!"

Richard Keith was also full of sighs, "I'm afraid no one thought before the game that Manchester United would be beaten so embarrassingly at home. It should be said that the change of Tottenham Hotspur is indeed great. They seem to be more fluid, players don’t have a fixed position, change their position and adjust their responsibilities anytime, anywhere!”

"Look, Ribery can pass the ball alone in a double-team with three players. I'm not surprised. Messi can pass the ball alone in the middle of five players. I think it's Cavani. It can’t be done, if Cavani was in this position at that time, then the goal would definitely not be missed, but the terrible thing is that Messi stood in the middle.”

Andy Gray also thinks that this is indeed a terrible place for Manchester United, "Ferdinand didn't get close to Messi at the first time, or he was also worried that he didn't dare to lean too much, because Messi is too flexible and small. , Messi can get rid of him in a small space, so he dare not press up, but if he does not dare to press up, it is equivalent to giving Messi a chance to pass the ball."

"This kind of frequent switching makes the defensive players at a loss. When they defend Cavani, they are fine, but the next attack suddenly becomes Messi, or Ribery who has a stronger assault ability. Several different styles suddenly disrupted the rhythm and order of the entire defense!"

After hearing this, Richard Keith shook his head and sighed, "The game has only been played for 6 minutes, and now it's 7 minutes. I think if we continue to play at this pace, the two sides may still score goals. Tottenham Tottenham are adjusting now, and when they adjust, they will definitely continue to play against Manchester United."

Andy Gray also agrees with this prediction, "It is also very embarrassing for Manchester United now. Continue to press, fearing that there will be loopholes behind, but don't continue to press. When Tottenham Hotspur adjusts, the scene will be more passive. It's hard to make a good choice!"

"The backwardness after the start has led to Manchester United being in a very passive situation now."

Richard Keith laughed, "The main reason is that Tottenham Hotspur's performance is so good. I really didn't expect that this team is in such a good state now, and their offense is completely different from the past. The movement and pressure are more and more active, and the mentality of the players is also very good. The whole three lines seem to be integrated into a whole!"

Ye Qiu was on the sidelines, waving his hand, indicating that the trident in the frontcourt should put some pressure on the opponent, especially Cavani, keep pestering the opponent's two central defenders, don't make them too comfortable, and the entire central defender The field is also moved forward appropriately to keep the three lines compact and should not be cut off by Manchester United.

With Ye Qiu's adjustments, Tottenham Hotspur also began to consciously press Manchester United's midfield to a certain extent. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. Cavani, Ramsey, Vidal and others are actively involved in the pressing and oppression of Manchester United's midfield, making the scene very hot.

Especially after entering 10 minutes, Manchester United's offense was slow to play an effective offensive, and the home court fell behind by three goals. The home fans were also putting pressure on the stadium, making the players on the pitch a little impatient.

When Lars Diarra was tripped by the Welshman dribbling the ball in a fight with Ramsey, he kicked someone with his foot. Although it was very light, the referee still gave a yellow card. This made Ferguson on the sidelines furiously yelling.

This French midfielder is good at everything, but he is restless. He always regards himself as the No. [-] core, wants to take the ball and dribble, and sometimes he can't control his temper. It is indeed love and hate.

But soon, Ferguson discovered that there was a scene on the field that made him almost furious.

When Evans was handling the ball, he was a little anxious because he was disturbed by Cavani, and he passed the ball to Rafael, but Messi has been ambushing around Rafael, and the ball was sent to Rafael. Messi's, after the latter steals the ball, quickly formed a three-on-three situation in Manchester United's backcourt.

When Ye Qiu saw this scene, he remembered a sentence, the leak in the house happens to rain all night, and the boat is late and the head wind hits!
