Seeing the referee signal that the goal was valid, Toney waved his fist excitedly, smiled and hugged Drogba, who came forward to congratulate, and then ran shoulder to shoulder with the Ivorian to celebrate the goal under the stands where Tottenham fans gathered!

Although Tony and Drogba are direct rivals in Tottenham, this does not mean that the two have to get along with each other in normal times like bitter enemies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoActually, Toney and Drogba have a pretty good personal relationship, with the two often visiting each other's homes after training. Therefore, after Toney's goal, Drogba will be the first to come forward to congratulate, which is naturally a reasonable thing.

"Damn, I was too careless!" At the same time, as Toney's ball flew into Howard's gatekeeper and was rubbing against the net, an annoyed Ferguson slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground. For this reason, the lord also received a warning from the fourth official: "I didn't expect George to find another way, not to think about how to strengthen the defense of Luther (Vanney), but directly to put pressure on Roy (Keane) and Darren (Fletcher) in this way to cut off the connection between the frontcourt players and the midfield!"

At this time, Ferguson couldn't help but regret it a little. If one of Veron or David Beckham had been kept last summer, United would not have had a broken pass under Drogba's pressure, let alone Tottenham taking the opportunity to break the goal.

However, although there is some regret in his heart for letting Veron and Beckham go, it is naturally impossible for a tough person like Ferguson to admit this mistake. What's more, in the lord's opinion, instead of regretting this, it is better to hurry up and see if you can find a way to crack the trick of Tottenham.

However, Ferguson thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with a countermeasure before the game restarted, so he could only arrange for Saha, Joaquín and Ryan Giggs to drop back more into midfield or even their own half to receive the ball in the following time, so that Keane and Fletcher could get more points on the ball, so as to reduce the chance of being tackled by Tottenham directly in their own half, and strengthen the link between the team and the central midfield - although after sending away Becky and Veron last summer, Ferguson brought in Kleberson from the transfer market. Joaquin, Saha and other fresh blood, but with Nicky Bart, Roy Keane and others a year older, Manchester United's bench depth is not as good as it used to be. As a result, the lord had to face the dilemma of no one available, and he had to make adjustments to the team at the tactical level.

Although Ferguson still has Paul Scholes in his hand, he has not forgotten that United have a head-to-head clash with old rivals Arsenal a week later. So, in order to ensure that the players are fit to compete against Arsenal next weekend, Ferguson does not plan to field Paul Scholes in this game too soon. In this way, the choices that the lord can make at this time are naturally only a handful.

Still, the effect of Ferguson's adjustment was immediate. The frequent drop-backs of Saha, Ryan Giggs and others greatly eased the pressure on Roy Keane and Fletcher, giving the duo more points of play after being entangled by Drogba, and re-stabilizing United's central midfield.

However, as a result, Saha and others had to attack far from the Tottenham penalty area, which led to a significant reduction in United's attacking threat. After all, attacks can sometimes be all about suddenness, and with United players attacking from such a distance, Tottenham have plenty of time to set up their defences, even if they are slow to react.

Among them, the most obvious decrease in the threat coefficient is Luis Saha. Despite the Frenchman's all-round ability and almost no shortcomings, and he has also performed brilliantly at Fulham and Manchester United this season, he has never been considered by experts and fans to have any hope of becoming a top striker, and is only seen as a good partner for Ruud van Nistelrooy up front. This undoubtedly illustrates the fact that although Saha is close to or quasi-first-class in all these aspects, and even in general, in fact, none of them can reach the top level in the true sense of the word!

So, in a sense, Saha's omnipotence also represents omnipotence. Especially in the absence of a single outstanding strength, Saha was not easy to completely defeat the Belgians, although he could use his experience advantage and all-round ability to make a huge mess of the opposing Vermaelen in the first half.

Looking at those top strikers who are recognized as well-rounded, although they are not as comprehensive as Saha in terms of ability, there are more or less things that they are not good at, such as Ronaldo's headers, Thierry Henry's tackles, Inzaghi's dribbling...... But in the field they are good at, these people are the top existences. Without such a strength, Saha can only be considered infinitely close to a first-class striker, but he will never really reach this level.

So, in the eyes of professionals like Alex Ferguson and George, Saha is definitely the perfect piece of the team puzzle and can be entrusted with important tasks, but the Frenchman is definitely not fit to be the heart of a top team. Because Saha himself does not possess such qualities, forcing ducks to the shelves will only make the team completely difficult on the offensive end.

If United now have players like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo who can cut inside the box and then score, then Saha's all-round ability can be maximised. However, it is traditional wingers such as Ryan Giggs and Joaquín who are currently in charge of the wings of Manchester United, so strikers like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who are adept at shooting and are good at finding the spot, are clearly better suited for the current Manchester United side. As for the versatile striker like Saha, it can only be used to enrich United's attacking tactics and send more high-quality passes to the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Therefore, when the connection between Manchester United's front and midfield was strongly interfered with by Tottenham, forcing Saha and other frontcourt players to retreat sharply to respond, the Frenchman's tactical role and threat in attack were also greatly weakened after Ferguson made adjustments!

Dribbling skills are excellent, but not to the point where Mascherano and others are jealous, and while his passing vision is better than most strikers, he is nowhere near as playmaking midfielders as Michael Carrick and Andrea Pirlo. The reason why Saha is a huge threat when he is withdrawn from the penalty area is that his all-round defenders can hardly make targeted defenses and dare not act rashly, because if he makes a mistake in judgment, Saha has the opportunity to directly hit the Tottenham goal. And when Saha moved too far away from the box and his defender was replaced by Mascherano, it was difficult for the Frenchman to get as much space as he had before - Mascherano didn't worry about his own misjudgment, because even if Saha passed him, Vidic and Vermaelen could step up and wipe his ass.

With Saha's current ability, the Frenchman obviously doesn't have the ability to break through the defense of two people with the ball in a row, not to mention that Saha is still facing future top defensive players like Mascherano at this time. It was often as soon as he got out of Mascherano's press, and then he ran headlong into the defensive trap set by Vidic or Vermaelen, and the attacking momentum that he had managed to build came to an abrupt end.

Seeing that with the retreat of Saha and others, Manchester United gradually stabilized their position in their own half, George first smiled slightly, then walked slowly to the sidelines, and made a gesture to the players, signaling them to press the formation as a whole and continue to put pressure on Manchester United's midfield!

After receiving George's instructions, the Tottenham players did not show any hesitation or doubt, and immediately pressed the formation gradually under the command of Carrick, and Mascherano rushed directly through the center circle of the stadium and continued to run to harass Saha.

While George would have made Tottenham's defence quite empty, it would also put a lot of pressure on United's defence. Especially Fletcher, who made a mistake before and caused the team to concede a goal, the young midfielder from Scotland was even more nervous at this time, for fear that he would make another mistake on the field, which would make the situation of Manchester United's game even worse!

In response to the adage "what you are afraid of", Fletcher's fears unfortunately became a reality. In the 63rd minute of the game, Fletcher went straight to Saha in the middle, but the latter failed to stop the ball under the entanglement of Mascherano, and was intercepted by Carrick in the middle and stealed!

After another successful tackle at the back, Carrick immediately took the opportunity to instigate a wave of attacks. He split the ball to Ribery on the left, who used his speed and explosiveness to force an overtake in the face of Gary Neville's defence, and passed the ball into the box before the latter could commit a tactical foul!

Luca Toney, who was in the box, tried to get a header straight at goal, but this time it was Wes Brown who won the hand-to-hand fight. He had already been stuck in the position and didn't give Tony any chance at all, grabbed a header and cleared the ball directly out of the penalty area!

However, before Brown could breathe a sigh of relief, a shocking scene suddenly unfolded in front of the England centre-back - it was not his team-mate who got the clearance from outside the box, but Didier Drogba!

Silvestre, who is 1.83 meters tall and weighs only 83 kilograms, is naturally not the opponent of Drogba, who is 1.89 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms. The Ivorian monster that rushed into the penalty area with the ball was just a simple squeeze, and Sylvester felt as if he had been hit by a train moving at full speed, staggering back several steps, and just enough to block Howard's sight!

Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Drogba decisively chose to hit the goal with his feet, and Howard, who was blocked by his teammates, was also powerless at this time, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

Tottenham Hotspur unexpectedly lead Manchester United by two goals at Old Trafford!
