After handing over the task of working with the Johansson faction to Elizabeth, George returned to Tottenham's training base on the outskirts of London with Adele's resentful eyes in the face of Adele - now that the lead has shrunk to just one point, everyone will need to work extra hard to ensure that Chelsea are not left behind!

So, when the calendar turned to January 4th, the entire Tottenham squad arrived at Old Trafford on time for the team's second official game of 2005, taking on Alex Ferguson's Red Devils!

As the most successful club in the Premier League's history, United's 2004/05 season was nothing short of a disaster – unlike last season, when the Reds fell early into the Premier League and finished eighth in the table with a third of the way through. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although Manchester United adjusted their form in time under the leadership of Alex Ferguson, and achieved an astonishing record of eight wins and one draw in the following nine league rounds, and reached fifth in the league in one go, and there is only a point gap between Everton in fourth place, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that unless a miracle happens, a Champions Cup ticket is the highest honor Manchester United can strive for in the league this season!

Although United have created a miracle of falling behind by more than a dozen points in the league and eventually coming back from behind to win the title (Newcastle in '95-96 and Arsenal in '02-03), let's not forget that the Reds were able to accomplish this feat because they were among the top 20 Premier League teams, and as long as they adjusted their form and mentality, while capitalizing on the weaknesses of the Magpies and Gunners to resist pressure, they had a good chance of successfully turning the tables around.

Not now. Because unlike Arsenal, whose ability to resist pressure has been repeatedly criticized, Tottenham and Chelsea have been extremely stable in the league this season, and even if the situation is unfavorable, there is no situation that cannot withstand the pressure and collapses - in this regard, in the early stages of the season, once with Tottenham Hotspur for the position of the league leader, but now it has fallen to third in the table, and Arsenal, who are left a full eight points behind Chelsea in second place, must have the most say.

And, unlike those two comebacks, Manchester United is no longer the best team in the Premier League. Whether it's Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea, or even their old rivals Arsenal, these teams have surpassed the Red Devils who are in the throes of their throes of power!

As he gets older, Ryan Giggs's breakthrough on the left is no longer as sharp as it was two years ago, Roy Keane's strong midfield coverage and confrontation ability has also dropped significantly, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has significantly reduced his goalscoring efficiency due to the lack of support from his team-mates and his own injuries, not to mention the likes of Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The successive ageing of these ministers who created a golden age for the Red Devils has caused Manchester United's competitiveness in the Premier League to fall to its lowest point ever!

So, for Manchester United, who are now as many as 13 points behind Tottenham in the league table, it would be unrealistic to replicate their feat this season!

However, even with such a huge advantage, George did not dare to take Manchester United lightly. Because the teams that dare to do this have been taught by Ferguson to be people with reality in the face!

It is precisely because of this understanding that in this game, George, who led the team to the Theater of Dreams, sent the strongest lineup in his hands - goalkeeper Peter Cech, left-back is Patrice Evra, the center-back combination is Vidic and Ledley King, right-back Stephen Carr, Mascherano single midfielder, Xavi Alonso and Edgar Davies partner in the midfield, and the front line Robben, Ronaldo and Drogba form the attacking trident of Tottenham in this game!

On the Manchester United side, although Ferguson has introduced a lot of fresh blood in the past two years, such as Joaquin, Carrick, Heinze and others have secured the main position with their stable and excellent performances, but for Manchester United, which has the 92 generation as the main team, this scale of blood change is not enough to rejuvenate it!

Goalkeeper Carroll, the four defenders from left to right are Heinze, Rio Ferdinand, Silvestre and Wes Brown, the midfield is a combination of Ryan Giggs, Carrick, Roy Keane and Joaquin, Saha and Alan Smith are the two strikers, this is Manchester United's starting eleven for this game!

Although Manchester United's starting line-up seems to be full of holes, George, who has memories of his past life and knows the future trajectory of Manchester United, is well aware that the current Red Devils are only in the darkness before dawn. As long as Ferguson can get rid of the killer next, take down Roy Keane, who has a serious temper but is growing in form, find a qualified partner for Carrick in the midfield position, and then bring in a first-class goalkeeper to complete the transformation of the entire central axis, then Manchester United will once again become the terrifying Red Devils who will shock the entire European football world!

"Oh, and sign a reliable striker. Otherwise, there is no way to support Manchester United's attacking line with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney alone. Seeing Saha's pass to Alan Smith being cut off by Ledley King first, Manchester United's hard-fought run in front of Tottenham Hotspur's attack came to an abrupt halt once again, and George added silently in his heart.

I have to say that Saha's position at Manchester United is really awkward. Although the Frenchman's ability is indeed quite comprehensive, and he can use almost everything in all eighteen martial arts, whether it is with Rooney or Ruud van Nistelrooy, the problem is that the all-round Saha does not have a top strength, which makes it difficult for him to gain enough advantage against the top central defenders to complete the task of destroying the city for Manchester United!

Saha's performance during his time at Fulham was indeed impressive enough, but his outstanding performance was based on the premise that the whole Fulham team used him as the core of the attack - even a big man like Husky could score double-digit goals in a single season with the support of the whole Leicester team, not to mention a striker like Saha, although not top-notch, but by no means worse than Husky?

In front of him is Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, behind which is the New Hope Wayne Rooney of the Three Lions, and in the middle is Alan Smith. Saha, who has neither outstanding ability nor age advantage, let alone a household registration book and has lost his core treatment, can naturally imagine his future at Old Trafford.

For example, in today's game, although Saha did not work the field, under the siege and interception of many Tottenham players such as Vidic, Ledley King and Mascherano, even with teammates such as Ryan Giggs and Carrick desperately delivering shells in the back, the Frenchman could not create many scoring opportunities at all!

Therefore, when Ferguson sent the combination of Saha and Smith, the balance of victory was already tilting in the direction of Tottenham!
