The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 740 Lightning Offensive
"In the Premier League, Manchester United are a ferocious tiger, but that's to other teams, to us Tottenham Hotspur, they are a paper tiger, remember how we were at Old Trafford 8 :0 beat them?"

"Don't think too much, just remember one thing, beat it to death!"

"As long as they dare to resist, we will strive for goals. If one is not enough, we will have two, and if two are not enough, we will have three. We just want to score crazy goals, keep scoring goals, until they are afraid, and when they score, they raise their hands and surrender. , When they entered, they completely collapsed, and when they saw that we didn't dare to speak loudly, they all tucked their tails for me and restrained themselves!"

"Go out on the pitch and tell them who is the current king of the Premier League!"

What Ye Qiu said when the players were about to walk out of the locker room, even when the players were scattered on the pitch, standing still, waiting for Cavani and Messi in the penalty area to kick off time, are still coiled in their minds.

Hazzard stood on the left side outside the middle circle, twisting his neck vigorously, swinging his arms, jumping his legs, and moving his body. He noticed that what he encountered in this game was Rafael on the right.

Manchester United's starting lineup for this game is 433 tactics, the goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Rafael, and the midfielders are Giggs, Carrick and Scholes , The front trident is Rooney, Benzema and Van Persie.

After sending Carlos Tevez to West Ham United, Manchester United introduced Dutch striker Robin van Persie from Barcelona with a lot of money to form a new frontcourt trident offensive combination. Turnham Hotspur.

Looking sideways to the center circle, Hazard is patiently waiting for the kick-off. Today's coach is Chris Foix. This is the second time he has officiated Manchester United's game this season. Interestingly, both games It was held at Old Trafford. The last time Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-1, the home team won.

In addition, in the six games that Chris Foix has enforced this season, the home team has four wins and two draws to remain unbeaten, and two of the draws are Arsenal against the black cats Sunderland, and the other is Norwich 0 at home. :0 draw with West Ham United, and home wins include Chelsea, Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion.

Therefore, there is a lot of media speculation before the game. Chris Foix is ​​a friend of the home team. As long as he is in charge of the game, at least the home team will remain unbeaten. However, some people think that this is purely a coincidence. It is difficult to say whether Manchester United can prevent Tottenham Hotspur from scoring against Tottenham Hotspur's aggressive attack power.

Chris Foix was standing in the middle circle, with a whistle in his mouth, watching the movement of his watch intently, which was zoomed in on the big screen at Old Trafford, and with a clear whistle, Kava Ni kicked the ball to Messi, which officially sounded the clarion call of this much-anticipated focus battle.

At the beginning of the game, when Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball back, Manchester United did not start the frontcourt pressing tactics, but retreated the overall defense, obviously to give up the frontcourt pressing and let the Tottenham Hotspur attack out.

Hazard rushed forward quickly after the start of the game, but he paid more attention to the left line because he found that Manchester United's red jerseys were gathered throughout the center. Obviously, Manchester United wanted to focus on the defense of the center.

Soon, when Hazard ran to Manchester United's 30-meter area, he heard his teammates calling his name behind him.

The Belgian turned his head, looked up and saw that from behind, Pirlo passed the ball diagonally over the top and it was already in front of him, so Hazzard turned around and stopped the ball with his chest, right foot As soon as he unloaded, the ball fell firmly at his feet.

After stopping the ball, Hazzard continued to lead forward, Scholes leaned over, and Raphael also stood near the left corner of the penalty area.

Hazzard swept his eyes and found that Cavani and Messi were already in place, so he directly accelerated.

I saw Hazzard dribbling the ball past Scholes's defense area, suddenly accelerated rapidly, waded past Scholes abruptly, and met Rafael in the left corner of the penalty area. The Brazilian right back originally The position card was well placed, but Hazard was not expected to pass Scholes' defense so quickly.

One-on-one, just an eye contact, Hazzard made a gesture to go down, but suddenly dunked the ball past Rafael, abruptly turning into an inside cut, and at this time he had already reached the penalty area, Although Scholes appeared on the right side of Hazzard, he did not dare to step down easily.

This is the trouble with small dribbles. Unless Hazard makes a mistake in dribbling, otherwise, in a place like this in the penalty area, defensive players will feel very headaches when dealing with such small dribbles. There is no effective way.

Moreover, Hazzard's handling of details is very good this time, without any flaws.

Ferdinand was behind Raphael to help defend. After seeing Hazard wading through Scholes and Raphael abruptly, he made a prediction immediately and wanted to block Hazard inside. What he didn't expect was that the Belgian is not tall, but his body is very flexible. The sudden change of speed and direction in such a narrow range caught him off guard.

Hazzard, who was originally cutting inside, suddenly stopped and smashed the ball again, abruptly turned into a bottom line, and went straight to the bottom line in front of Ferdinand. At this time, Ferdinand had no time to react.

Just in the left corner of the penalty area, within a narrow range, Hazzard played the three defensive players of Manchester United in a circle, and when he got down to the bottom line, it was a pair of A contest with De Gea.

But this time Hazard was not greedy for credit. He saw that Vidic and Evra were driven by him, and Messi behind the goal was unguarded, so he flicked his right foot lightly, not a lob, but a shot. Pick a pass.

The ball gently passed De Gea, who bent down and lowered his center of gravity, and landed behind the goal. Messi followed up from behind and easily pushed the empty goal, 1:0!

"Wow!!!!!!"

"The game has just started less than 1 minute, 48 seconds, oh my god, Tottenham Hotspur scored!!!!"

"No.40's goal in eight seconds came from Hazard passing three opponents from the left to form a single goal, but Hazard selflessly picked a pass and assisted his teammate Messi to score, 1:0!"

"Too fast, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was too fast, Manchester United's defense was easily captured by the opponent, and Ferguson's carefully arranged defense was easily breached!"

"In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's attacking so fast and sharply, we can only say, please, please, your target should not be the earth, but the sea of ​​stars, go back to your Mars, Tottenham Space Team!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed out of the field excitedly and rushed to the corner flagpole. Messi hugged Hazard tightly, and the two celebrated the goal together on the sidelines. Haha Zade's assist is indeed very selfless, because he has enough reasons to kick himself, even if the shooting angle is not large, but hitting the goal by himself is the selfishness that a scorer should have.

But he didn't, he assisted, which reflects his team awareness.

Manchester United was obviously a bit stunned by such a start. Ferguson on the sidelines slapped himself on the forehead after seeing Messi score. He felt that his disciples were still not focused enough, because he had already They have been reminded more than once that Tottenham Hotspur's left Hazard has been in ridiculously good form recently, so they must be careful.

Although it is indeed scary to give you a stunning performance of several players in a row at the beginning of the game, but your own defensive players are not focused enough, which also gave Hazzard the opportunity and space to perform.

Who would have thought that three people on the left were defending one, and he broke into the small penalty area. Can you say that there is a problem with the defense?

However, the advantage is obviously no longer on Manchester United's side. Now Ferguson is facing a very difficult choice. How can the game continue?How can you continue to play when the opponent knocks on the goal less than 1 minute after the start?
After the Manchester United players kicked off the ball again, they obviously consciously wanted to make up for the loopholes just now, and launched an attack against Tottenham Hotspur as soon as possible, regained a goal, and brought the situation of both sides back to the same starting line.

Ferguson will not have a good and effective method for a while, and he feels that at this time, the players cannot be prevented from getting hot-headed. It is best to let them suppress the morale and spirit of Tottenham Hotspur. How to play a game?
But what Ferguson didn't expect was that after Manchester United lost the ball, they launched three consecutive waves of attacks, and once scored within the 30-meter area of ​​Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to get a chance to score. At 4 minutes, Rooney took the ball and went to find Benzema, but Thiago Silva poked the ball away early.

The ball went to the right, and Kyle Walker rushed up, making a clearance with a big foot.

Messi pulled to the right line and blocked the position ahead of time. Evra stuck behind him. After the Argentine unloaded the ball steadily, he pretended to make a fake move to the bottom, but suddenly smashed the ball and turned around. After half a circle, he dribbled in and cut in. When Vidic was about to rush over to help defend Evra, Messi suddenly made a cross.

I saw Cavani rushing up from behind, on the right side of the arc top of the penalty area, facing Messi's cross, stopped with his left foot, and swung his right foot directly to shoot a thunderbolt, the ball was like a bolt of lightning Go-ahead.

De Gea reacted very quickly this time. He flew to make a save, blocked the ball, and fell heavily on the turf. When he looked at the ball again, he saw Ramsey I don't know when he has rushed into the penalty area, and he is on the left side of the penalty spot, facing the ball saved by De Gea with a light push.

The ball stuck to the turf and quickly rolled into Manchester United's goal line. Raphael, who quickly retreated, rushed to the horse at this time, and was so angry that he directly kicked the ball towards the net, but he was unable to stop Chris? Foix blew the whistle for a goal, 2:0!

"3 minutes, only 3 minutes from the last goal, less than 4 minutes from the start, Tottenham Hotspur lead by two goals, how will Manchester United play this game?"

The commentator of Sky TV was obviously very shocked. Even after seeing Tottenham Hotspur scoring two goals in a row, he couldn't help but want to ask, "Could it be that Tottenham Hotspur will play again in this game?" The massacre against Manchester United at Old Trafford? Does Ye Qiu want to slap Ferguson in shame this season when he announces his retirement?"

I believe that at this moment, not only the commentator has such worries, but all the Red Devils fans in the stands have such worries, and even all the Manchester United players on the pitch are afraid. Many of them have personally experienced that scene 0:8, they all encountered overwhelming humiliation and boos from the media and fans after the game. They all knew that it was a shame!

It was an accident once, but if it happened a second time, they didn't know what would happen!
This is the shadow, when you encounter some kind of predicament, some kind of unsatisfactory thing, it will make you feel afraid, and if you can't suppress it well, it will swallow your heart.

Whether it will be a 0:8 reappearance, Ferguson does not know, because the game has just started, but he has already conceded two goals, the situation is extremely unfavorable to him and Manchester United, what he is considering now is not even what to win In the next game, what to keep a tie, but how to make yourself lose so badly.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he has no hope of reversal. After all, the game has just started, but if you want to reverse, you have to wait until you stabilize the situation. If Tottenham Hotspur continue to attack like this, maybe it will be another A humiliating score.

Ferguson clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and stood in front of the coaching bench of the home team. Everyone only saw him blushing, but no one knew his mood at the moment, except that he was sitting in the stands behind Ferguson and specially accepted him. Invite Guardiola who came to Old Trafford to watch the game.

When he was coaching Barcelona and lost 0:9 to Tottenham Hotspur in two rounds, Guardiola's mood in the game was similar to that of Ferguson now. He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Sometimes the head coach can do very little, especially when you realize that your players are already scared and have lost their fighting spirit, no matter how unwilling you are, there is nothing you can do, because you can’t play Instead of players playing, it is impossible for you to rekindle the fighting spirit of the players in a short period of time and fight desperately with the opponent.

The reason why reversal is often called a miracle is because it can be met but not sought.

The game is basically over, it's Guardiola's analysis of the game, and it's actually their midfield, with the likes of Scholes, Carrick and Giggs, that cost United A midfielder can't stop Tottenham Hotspur's crazy offensive.

Encountered the opponent's lightning offensive after the opening, Manchester United's midfielder did almost nothing. This is not difficult to understand. Veteran players are always slow to enter the state. Although they are well maintained and have a lot of experience, relying on the team's off-the-ball running system, they can play well.

But the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur's wolf-like offensive makes them exhausted and unable to parry.

From this point of view, Lars Diarra is an irreplaceable midfield defense in this Manchester United team. Tevez and Rooney also play a huge role in supporting the frontcourt, but Ferguson let Tevez go. Rooney was left behind, but Lars Diarra and Sneijder were sent away or sidelined, all of which made Manchester United's midfield uncompetitive.

Modern football tests a team, often by looking at the midfield.

Didn't see that after Ye Qiu sent away Yaya Toure, Fabregas and David Silva, he brought in Vidal and Pirlo, and Tottenham Hotspur's midfield changed and became full immediately Resilience, not only can play a tough offense, but also has delicate technical changes. The offensive methods of the entire team have become more varied and unpredictable.

"Could it be that they are the only ones who can beat Tottenham Hotspur?"

Although many people say that Pirlo's aging will bring some changes to Tottenham Hotspur's tactics and bring some uncertainty, but more people think that, relatively speaking, Ye Qiu's departure may It was the worst blow to this team.

As early as the beginning of the season, there have been media reports that Ye Qiu may announce that he will leave the head coaching position in 2014 and concentrate on the management of the team. After all, for someone like him, coaching is only his job. hobby.

…………

…………

In 4 minutes, three attacks, two shots, and two goals, Tottenham Hotspur's lightning offensive was fully reflected after the start of the game. If it was just fast, it would not be terrible. The terrible thing is that they are fast and efficient.

In the end, Manchester United failed to pose too much threat to Tottenham Hotspur at their home court. Although Ferguson's team turned to defense after conceding two goals in a row, and stabilized the situation, Tottenham Hotspur also defended against Manchester United's counterattack, so they did not increase their offensive investment, and the first half ended with 0:2.

In the second half, after Tottenham Hotspur Hazard cooperated with Marcelo on the left side for two consecutive passes and hit the wall, he made a pass from the bottom. City, 3:0!

The game finally ended with a score of 3:0. Tottenham Hotspur once again defeated the Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford.

At the moment when Chris Foix blew the whistle for the end of the game, more than 7 fans in the entire Old Trafford stadium became silent. Perhaps more than 90 minutes of the game had wiped out the passion in their hearts and made them One fact that has been clearly seen is that Manchester United does not have the strength to challenge Tottenham Hotspur today.

This can be clearly seen from the game lineups of both sides.

But no one can question Ferguson, because without Ferguson's support, Manchester United may not even get the top four in the Premier League with the current lineup configuration, so they have to accept the reality.

However, as the commentator analyzed in the post-match summary, with Ferguson here, Manchester United can continue to make it into the top four with Ferguson here, but Ferguson will retire at the end of this season. What will we do then? ?Who can take over this mess in the hands of Ferguson?

Many Manchester United fans have noticed Guardiola. Does the appearance of the Spaniard at Old Trafford mean something?
In fact, after the game, Ferguson specially invited Ye Qiu and Guardiola to his office, saying that they were drinking. In fact, this old fox had a very shrewd plan.

At the very least, he feels that he has the biggest bargaining chip to persuade Guardiola.
