Football King Bale

Chapter 690: Manchester United's Achilles' Heel

   The game resumed quickly. Zhanjun was watching the game while analyzing the situation on the standings.

"Bell's goal helped Manchester United break the deadlock, which is a very good start for them. If they can win Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United can reach 50 points in league points and continue to rank second in the standings. Arsenal maintain a five-point advantage."

"Bell's goal gave Manchester United a very favorable situation. The biggest feature of Ferguson's team is stability. They are rarely reversed by their opponents, but they often reverse their opponents. Manchester United this season, look. It seems that they have not been as stable as the previous seasons, but they are still the only undefeated team in the five major leagues..."

  On the sidelines, Tottenham’s interim coach Sherwood called the team’s midfielder Eriksson to his side and hurriedly explained a few words to Eriksson using the brief interruption of the game.

"Manchester United is strong and weak. I have analyzed this before the game. It doesn't matter if the score is behind. Please explain to your teammates and let them not worry. Stick to our pre-match tactics. Be patient. Our attack power is Enough to score goals. I believe in your abilities 100%." ​​Sherwood patted Erickson on the shoulder and encouraged.

   Eriksson nodded, and his a little anxious mood because the score was too late to equalize, slowly calmed down after the coach's appeasement. He took a sip of water and quickly returned to the court to convey the coach's instructions to his teammates.

  ………………

   Tottenham again began to organize an offensive patiently.

   Seeing the players calm down, Sherwood nodded. Although he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the team, Sherwood is very clear that this does not mean that he will really be able to coach Tottenham for a long time. Once Tottenham can't achieve a record that satisfies the owner this season, he is likely to dismiss get out of class at the end of the season.

   As a team star, after retiring and working for the Tottenham club for a long time, Sherwood loves this team deeply. But after Bell left, although Tottenham’s performance in the past few seasons has been good, they have never qualified for the championship, which disappointed the fans.

After I took over Tottenham before Christmas, this is the third game. The first two games have 1 win and 1 tie. It looks pretty good, but once it loses today, the morale of the team that has just risen may be vented again. Up.

   So, even if you can't win Manchester United today, at least you can't lose!

   Sherwood backed up a few steps, stood on the sidelines with his hands in his arms, and gaze across the Manchester United defenders, thinking secretly: "Manchester United's defense, I don't believe they can always maintain an effective defense."

   Valencia, Smalling, Van Dijk, Evra, this is Manchester United's starting guard line in this game.

   The problem of defense is the biggest problem for Manchester United in the past two seasons. Although Van Dijk, who was introduced by Manchester United in the summer, unexpectedly played a performance that surpassed his worth, but a Van Dijk is far from enough.

   Compared with Manchester United's luxurious and luxurious striker lineup, Manchester United's defense is difficult to pass. In the 19 Premier League games that have ended, they have conceded 20 goals and conceded more than 1 goal per game.

   It is especially worth mentioning that in the entire first half of the 19 league games, Manchester United only scored a zero in 5 league games. It is the least clean sheet among the top four teams in the standings.

   For the rest of the team, Arsenal have a clean sheet of up to 8 games, and Manchester City, which has also been criticized for defense, has a clean sheet of 7 games. Even Chelsea's defense, which has been criticized as shit, has now 6 games.

Manchester United scored 52 goals in the first 19 league games, averaging nearly three goals per game, but failed to open up the gap with the following teams as in previous seasons, thanks to this line of defense that is full of holes. Given.

   Sherwood does not believe that Manchester United will have a zero seal when they meet them. He always believed that Tottenham’s goal would come sooner or later.

  ………………

   Not only is Pochettino confident in Manchester United's defenders, but also Manchester United fans.

   As the game progressed, after the joy after scoring, the fans at Old Trafford became a little uneasy. They were whispering while watching the ball.

   "How can it look so unstable to lead by one ball."

   "Nonsense! How many games have we not conceded this season? In this game, Tottenham’s goal has not arrived yet, of course we are unstable."

   "Only by seeing Tottenham's goal can I feel the real feeling of the game. It sounds strange."

  ……

   The fans raised their foreheads and hugged their heads, looking helpless. I know in my heart that the team will lose the ball in almost every game, but the problem is that I don't know when it will lose the ball. This feeling of hanging on the line is really cruel.

   Knowing this, but when Manchester United has a game, whether it is at Old Trafford or elsewhere, Manchester United fans will always be absent.

   Not only will not be absent, Old Trafford will always be the stadium with the most fans in the Premier League.

   It was Manchester United who abused me thousands of times, and I treated Manchester United as my first love.

   "It would be nice if the team can get another one." On the South Stand at Old Trafford, a fat fan wearing a No. 7 Manchester United jersey murmured to himself with a beer belly.

   "Yes, if we can score again, even if the team loses the ball, we can still lead. This way we can watch the ball more at ease." The surrounding fans immediately echoed.

   But they also know that it is so easy to score goals in a football game.

   Even if it is as strong as Bell, it is impossible for him to really score when they want him to score.

  ………………

   "Dembele dribbled the ball and he broke through Evra's defense. Dembele got in! He suddenly kicked and shot! The football was slightly higher and Manchester United escaped."

"Kane spread his hands. He complained about Dembele's shot. Kane meant he was in a better position. Why didn't Dembele pass the ball to him and give him the shot. Dembele told Kane. apology."

"Tottenham's offense is here again. Eriksson and Dembele cooperated two and one in a row. The football progressed quickly and immediately reached the Manchester United penalty area. Beautiful! Eriksson crossed the penalty area 45 degrees, Kane He took a forward shot. His header was very threatening and powerful, but it was a little bit higher. This attack by Tottenham almost knocked on Manchester United's goal."

"In fact, if Kane headed back and let Adebayor from the back row to shoot, maybe the effect would be better. Kane almost attracted the attention of all Manchester United defensive players, and Adebayor just happened. Unguarded."

   "Kane shot from a long distance! The shooting angle was a bit more straight, and the football was held firmly by De Gea. In today's game, De Gea performed fairly well."

  ……

   Amidst the surprise of the commentators from the major media around the world, Tottenham launched a continuous onslaught on Manchester United's goal. Manchester United's weak defense is like a boat in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any time.

  ………………

"During this period, although our possession rate is still good, it seems that Tottenham are more threatening than our offense. They are closer to scoring goals than us." On the Manchester United coaching bench, Giggs covered his mouth with Ferguson. Communicate.

   Ferguson nodded, he recognized Giggs' judgment.

   After thinking about it, Ferguson asked Mike Phelan on the side: "Mike, what is your opinion on this situation."

   Feilan curled his lips and said, "Didn't I tell you my opinion long ago? Buy a guard!"

Ferguson darkened and said angrily: "Buy, buy, buy, you know to buy. If the buyer can solve the problem, then what do I want you to do? I don’t know how to buy it? The key is today’s transfer market , It's not a reliable central defender at all!"

   Feilan scratched his bald head. He didn't care about Ferguson's attitude. The two have worked together for so many years, and they knew each other's temperament well, and Feilan never worried that he would lose his job under Ferguson.

   He is just a bit worried about the current situation of Manchester United.

Now everyone knows that Manchester United’s defense is unreliable, and they are eager to transform the defense. Therefore, everyone is tightly prepared for Manchester United. There are good defenders. They are either killed or not sold, or they offer unacceptable high prices. Manchester United I don't want to be a man like Manchester City, so it is difficult to buy a defender with a reliable price and a reasonable price.

   Unless it's luck, I hope to buy a young defender like Van Dijk.

In fact, in the summer, almost the whole world was saying that Manchester United was killed by someone as a triumphant. Fortunately, after Van Dijk came to Manchester United, UU reading www.uukanshu.com played out of his age and worth. Performance, otherwise Manchester United will really be laughed at.

  ………………

"Defensively will be impossible to count on for a while, I hope they can do it for a while. On the contrary, it is offensive... If there is a chance to score another, it may be more reliable than expecting the defense to not lose the ball. "Fei Lan said helplessly.

   Ferguson certainly knows what Mike Phelan meant, and that's what Manchester United has been doing for the past two seasons: replacing defense with offense.

   Just like the 2012-2013 season, Manchester United conceded 43 goals in 38 games, and the defense can be described as bad. But in the end, relying on the strong offensive firepower of the team, once again scored 114 goals in the league, scored a record 104 points, and achieved the third consecutive championship in team history.

   But scoring is not a simple and easy thing. Even if Manchester United’s striker has Bell and Rooney, it is impossible for the opponent to let you ask for it.

   Ferguson habitually raised his hand to look at his watch, and the game had reached the 43rd minute. The first half of the game will soon be over.

   Today’s game has not been interrupted so far. The overall game is fairly consistent and smooth. There is only one goal, and there is no time to celebrate the goal.

   Under such circumstances, the referee should not have too long stoppage time, which is basically minutes.
