The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 655 Almost

During the intermission, a piece of explosive music sounded at Old Trafford, and soon some bands and song and dance troupes appeared in the stadium, and they performed in the stadium to enliven the atmosphere for the fans.

Since Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in starting the home business and achieved quite good results, many teams in the Premier League have followed suit one after another, such as Manchester United and Arsenal, and they are also inviting orchestras to the scene Performing pre-match, during-match and post-match performances can not only enliven the home atmosphere, but also please the fans.

But at this moment, the band's explosive performance with obvious joy, in the eyes of the Red Devils fans at the scene, is more like a kind of schadenfreude, because what is displayed on the red scoreboard at Old Trafford is A shocking number.

No one expected that the first half of the game would be such a one-sided situation. Tottenham Hotspur could kill the Red Devils Manchester United with five goals in just 45 minutes at Old Trafford. It's an absolutely astounding performance.

Many Red Devils fans in the stands couldn't help crying, but there were also many fans who obviously couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave their seats. I don't know if they will appear in the stands of Old Trafford again in the second half superior.

After Ye Qiu explained some matters to the substitute players, he walked into the player tunnel of Old Trafford.

The Red Devils fans in the fan stands above the tunnel entrance were not polite to him, boos him mercilessly, and some even wanted to spit on him, but they were quickly controlled by the police maintaining order.

Ye Qiu walked into the player tunnel, and passed the home team's locker room not long after. Even with the door closed, he could hear Ferguson's thunder and anger coming from the home team's locker room, and there should even be the sound of throwing things. It is estimated that at this moment, the Scottish coach must have the urge to demolish the entire Old Trafford stadium.

Frankly speaking, Ye Qiu himself was surprised by the level of play in the first half. He originally guessed that he would take the lead in the first half, but who would have thought that the team would play better and better, especially the team The midfield operation and the pressure in the midfield made Manchester United look very uncomfortable.

Ye Qiu got the data. In this game, the running distance of Tottenham Hotspur players was much higher than that of Manchester United players in the same position. Even the veteran Pirlo, the running distance was more than that of Las Diarra and Kakashi. Rick, not to mention iron-lung players like Ramsey, Cavani and Vidal.

Some people say that opportunities on the football field come from running away, and Ye Qiu has always believed in this.

In fact, the problems of Manchester United have always existed. They tried to play 433-[-]-[-] tactics before, but with Sneijder in a sluggish state, Lars Diarra continued to have problems, which made Ferguson's entire midfield operation also have problems. Benzema also seems to have encountered a bottleneck in development, so Ferguson tried to make changes.

Nani's performance fluctuates a lot. When he performs well, he can show the level of a first-class or even a top winger. Unfortunately, he often has bad performances, and even basically at some critical moments. It is difficult to be satisfactory, which is one of the reasons why Nani is not prosperous now.

Ye Qiu had a feeling that Ferguson probably had been hesitating and groping all the time.

As Wenger said, from Jack Wilshere, he saw a new style of play after English players integrated into the European continental tactical system, but in fact, how to formulate such a style of play? , How to organize the team around Wilshere, Wenger himself is also very confused.

Strictly speaking, Ferguson's confusion should have started when Veron joined. The purpose of his introduction of Veron was to introduce the tactics of the mainland system and start to control the ball. After all, before the arrival of Veron, although Manchester United won the Triple Crown , but it was really a disadvantage during the European war, and I was afraid of being abused.

But Veron's setback at Manchester United, or it should be said, this has nothing to do with Veron's own strength, but caused by some contradictions within the Manchester United team, but it did frustrate Ferguson's exploration.

Looking at the players introduced by Ferguson in the past few years, there have been successes and failures. The most successful one is of course Cristiano Ronaldo. Carlos Tevez, Rooney, Carrick and others are also considered successful. Some of the signings or the transformation of the players are a little puzzled.

Such as Nani and Anderson, there are similar to Valencia and Evans.

Nani was introduced as a future top winger, while Anderson played as a midfielder and was called Ronaldinho II. It can be seen that the technical characteristics of these two players, but after coming to Manchester United, Ferguson transformed them, and Anderson became this kind of player who couldn't go up and down, and there was no breakthrough at all.

The cultivation of Nani can only be said to be a failure, because since he joined Manchester United in 07, Nani has played more than 31 games in almost every season, whether it is league or cup, and at least [-] of them. It can be said that Ferguson paid more attention to and cultivated Nani than other young rookies.

But Nani has not played at the level of a top player for so many years. Although he performed well last season, he was the best player in the Manchester United team and was selected into the best team of the Premier League. However, Nani did not complete his transformation. Failed to make himself a top star, let alone a top superstar.

Some people say that Manchester United's front trident, Tevez, Rooney and Benzema determine the lower limit of Manchester United, while Nani's performance determines the upper limit of Manchester United. This is indeed a bit interesting.

In addition, Valencia and Evans also have problems.

Sometimes Ye Qiu really felt that as a wealthy team, players like Valencia and Nani were more of a substitute, and you couldn't rely on them as the main force. In Ye Qiu's rating Inside, they are not even taller than Di Maria and Sanchez, let alone top stars such as Gareth Bale, Ribery, Messi, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't think that Nani or Valencia had no strength, but felt that they were a little short of the strength requirements of the main players of a wealthy team like Manchester United.

And if you want to talk about potential, Nani is now 25 years old and will soon be 26. If he really has any potential, it should have been shown long ago. Valencia is also 26. Basically, it is certain that the two players The upper limit is about the same.

Evans is 23 years old this year. As a central defender, it is understandable that he is a late bloomer, but he is 23 years old. If he does not play in the next two years, basically this player will be abolished.

Maybe Ye Qiu can't understand Manchester United's current predicament. The Glazer family forcibly bought Manchester United through debt. Manchester United could hardly breathe.

Now Ferguson is not talking about signings, even the player's salary structure must be carefully considered, which shows how severe Manchester United's financial situation is, especially after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis. As the hardest hit in the United States, the Glazer family can almost be said to be Bear the brunt, it is estimated that when Ferguson sold Cristiano Ronaldo, he was able to introduce Rooney, and he did not know how much rhetoric was spent behind it.

And when the team was in deep financial crisis, Manchester United's signings were basically based on high quality and low price, but in many cases, low price does not necessarily mean high quality, and you get what you pay for, the world is still relatively fair .

…………

…………

At halftime, Ferguson made two substitutions.

One time, Fletcher was used to replace Las Diarra, who already had a yellow card. The French midfielder had a bad temper. Ferguson was obviously worried that he would lose control in the second half, so he replaced him in advance, but from sitting Lars Diarra's face on the bench, it is estimated that he will continue to make trouble in the future.

This is why Ye Qiu doesn't like to introduce players with this personality!
Another substitution was to replace Nani with Sneijder and return to the 433 tactical system. Carlos Tevez, Benzema and Rooney played the front trident, and Fletcher, Sneijder and Carrick formed a trident. The midfield and defense remain the same.

Manchester United's adjustment has both defensive purposes and counterattack purposes. After all, the team revealed in the first half that Carrick alone cannot support the team's counterattack. Therefore, Ferguson must use another player. Dividing Carrick's offensive duties, that is Sneijder, and the Dutchman's defensive ability is also good.

You know, Sneijder was a typical Dutch midfielder known for his comprehensiveness back then.

After the start of the second half, both sides played relatively stable.

Tottenham Hotspur had already led by five goals. During the break, Ye Qiu asked the players to be vigilant and not to be careless in the slightest, especially against Manchester United's possible counterattack in the second half.

Manchester United used the trident in the frontcourt to oppress Tottenham Hotspur's defense and disrupt Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and backcourt, hoping to get some opportunities, but Tottenham Hotspur's backcourt was out of control. The ball was relatively clean, and he began to take more of the two sides to complete the advancement, and even passed directly forward with a big foot.

The time of the game did not slow down because of the stalemate between the two sides. It still passed quickly. It didn't take long to enter 10 minutes. One-third of the entire second half had passed, but Manchester United still couldn't find it. An effective chance to create a threat, which makes Manchester United's players look a little impatient.

During an attack, Rooney took the ball with his back. After receiving a pass from Sneijder, he turned around and hit the goal directly.

Although the angle of this kick was right, it was too far away from the goal. Cech held the ball firmly, ran forward quickly, and kicked the ball forward with a big foot directly at the front of the penalty area.

At this time, the entire midfield of Tottenham Hotspur was rushing forward. Vidal judged the landing point of the ball, grabbed a favorable position, blocked Carrick behind him, jumped high, and headed the ball. rub.

The ball hit Vidal's head and fell to the outside of the penalty area. Cavani blocked Evans with his body. The latter always had problems predicting the placement of high balls. Messi turned around and rushed forward, and Messi pushed the ball forward directly, forming a through ball, tearing through Manchester United's defense.

"Come on, Tottenham Hotspur's through ball, one-handed!!!!!!"

Just as Andy Gray finished speaking, he saw Ferdinand come out from a diagonal stab. When he saw that he was about to be unable to stop Cavani, he chose to fall to the ground and tackle the ball from behind, but he did not. After receiving the ball, Cavani was shoveled to the top of the arc of the penalty area, while the Uruguayan fell headlong into the penalty area.

"Penalty kick?" Andy Gray said first, but soon he noticed that when the referee Howard Weber ran over, Ferdinand obviously wanted to rush forward to defend himself, but Weber waved at him, "It's a A red card, a tackle from behind, at the same time this is a one-handed kick opportunity, the red card is undisputed, and Webber said that this is not a penalty, but a direct free kick at the top of the arc!"

After listening to it, Richard Keith shook his head and said: "This time it was a tackle from behind, but Cavani is obviously already single-handedly, and the red card cannot escape. Ferdinand is also unlucky this time. For Egypt Vince took a big scapegoat, if he hadn't been turned and charged by Cavani so easily, Ferdinand wouldn't have needed to be so embarrassed."

Perhaps, this confirms the saying, not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

"Ferguson is also very angry on the sidelines. He really has a reason to be upset, because now Manchester United is five goals behind at home, and the referee has sent off Manchester United players. Isn't this going to make Manchester United suffer a catastrophe? And Ferguson He has already used two substitutions, and he wants to use the last one?"

Richard Keith sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Manchester United has no reliable central defender at all. O'Shea and Brown have left the team, leaving only Smalling, but like Evans, I'm afraid he can't stop him." This group of attacking players who live in Tottenham Hotspur, and whether the last substitution is now, is still worth considering!"

There is still half an hour before the game time, and some unexpected problems may occur anytime and anywhere. If the substitution quota is used up now, if some players collapse in physical fitness or suffer from injuries later, then Manchester United is not going to be there. Playing with two fewer players?

"Tottenham Hotspur got a good set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt. Who will take the penalty? Pirlo?"

"Pirlo is indeed a top free kick expert. Tottenham Hotspur is indeed taken by Pirlo. Let's see how the quality of Pirlo's free kick is this time. This is also the reason why he came to the Premier League. First free kick!"

"Manchester United has put up a wall of people, and De Gea is also facing a big enemy. This young teenager has encountered the worst nightmare in his life today. I hope he can get out of the shadows soon after this game is over. "

"The referee is telling Pirlo, you have to wait for me to blow the whistle before you can make a free throw, and Pirlo agreed!"

"Come on, Webber blows the whistle, Pirlo makes a free throw...the goal is scored!!!!!!"

"6:0, Pirlo scored! A wonderful direct free kick, a typical Pirlo-style elevator ball, pierced De Gea's goal, 6:0, Tottenham Hotspur's big score away temporarily Ahead of the Red Devils Manchester United!"

After scoring the goal, the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed to the sidelines. A group of players looked very excited and hugged each other on the sidelines. They felt that their condition was really good tonight, and they looked like With inexhaustible strength, they still want to continue to strive for goals and continue to suppress Manchester United.

"It was an absolutely humiliating night for Manchester United, even more humiliating than when they were reversed by Tottenham Hotspur at half-time at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, because they played in their old Tel Aviv. Ford Stadium, beaten almost helplessly by Tottenham Hotspur!"

"Ferguson was obviously mad by the performance of the players. He fell behind by six goals and now lost the main defender Ferdinand. This is definitely a nightmare for Manchester United. Now Ferguson should find a way to stabilize the team's defense as soon as possible."

"It looks like Ferguson is going to make one last change. He decided to bring in Smalling and replace Benzema. This is a clear signal. The only purpose of Manchester United's remaining games is to defend. A humiliating score against Tottenham Hotspur at home!"

"Manchester United's biggest loss in history is 0:7. There have been three times, namely in League One in 1926 and 1930, and League Two in 1931. They lost 0:7 at home to their opponents. And in the past [-] years of history, Manchester United has never lost such a humiliation."

"In the history of the Premier League, Manchester United suffered a 1996-5 bloodbath against Newcastle in 0 and a 1999-5 bloodbath against Chelsea in 0, but these two games were away games, but now Manchester United is at home. Tottenham Hotspur scored six goals, which will undoubtedly refresh Manchester United's Premier League disgrace!"

"All the players who represented Manchester United tonight will appear on this shameful list, and they should be responsible for their poor performance!"

"The Red Devils fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and booed their team. They may be very dissatisfied with their team's performance, but we must also admit that playing such a high score, especially in this strong In the strong dialogue, there is indeed a lot of chance, and I believe that even Ye Qiu didn't have such thoughts before the game."

After listening to Andy Gray's words, Richard Keith also sighed, "Tottenham Hotspur are still continuing to strengthen their offense. For this game, we can only say, Tottenham Hotspur's performance was too good and outstanding, especially their high-intensity pressing in the frontcourt, and their offensive and defensive transitions that quickly formed counterattacks after stealing the ball are really impressive."

"This Tottenham Hotspur team is playing more aggressively and faster than they have been in years, but they haven't become rough because of it. On the contrary, while increasing their impact and attacking speed, they also It is not easy to retain his passing stability and teamwork ability, and often even have delicate technical flash points."

"We have every reason to believe that this Tottenham Hotspur team will amaze all fans in the new season!"
