PS2: Double 11 has arrived, and I was caught and made a shopping cart all night, so today's update is late, and I ask for your forgiveness......

Once the game began, the Birmingham players, who had won the right to kick-off, took advantage of the home rate to attack Tottenham's half. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the view of Birmingham players, even if Tottenham Hotspur has brought in a lot of stronger players in the summer, the overall strength of the team has been improved to a certain extent, but in the case of limited run-in time, these people will definitely not be able to play at the level they should be in this game. Not to mention, many people are also wondering in their hearts, are these players really as good as Tottenham officially advertised?

So, with the mentality of giving Tottenham a dismount, the Birmingham players took the initiative at the beginning of the game, intending to see if they could take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold. In addition, when they do this, there is also some psychology in them to test the details of their opponents.

If Tottenham Hotspur can't take this kind of attack in stride, then Birmingham will have to put on a good show of beating the water dogs.

Although the training time together is only a short month, the tacit understanding of the Tottenham players is still insufficient, and there are many loopholes in the cooperation between each other, but under the careful training of Allegri and Charlie Sr., Tottenham's defensive system has been basically established at this time. Therefore, in the face of Birmingham's attack, the Tottenham players managed to resist without much effort.

You know, Birmingham scored just 41 goals in the Premier League last season. This is only the fifth-lowest figure of all 20 Premier League teams, and it is understandable that their attacking power is weak. Even if Steve Bruce brought in Finnish striker Mikael Fossell on loan from Chelsea this summer with the intention of improving the team's attack, it would be unrealistic for him to tackle the central defence of Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic on his own.

After fending off Birmingham's opening three-platen, Tottenham's side also began to organise attacks. However, Tottenham's attack is more based on a quick counterattack organized by Carrick after a successful defense or interception, and the team as a whole does not press the attack very often.

Seeing that the Tottenham players frequently passed the ball to Carrick and put him in charge of organizing the attack, Steve Bruce, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but smile proudly, and then waved his hand and ordered the Birmingham players to implement trap and tight marking tactics against Carrick according to the original plan!

"Hmph, George, you're still too young. In order to get the team off to a good start in this opening game, Steve Bruce has studied the game footage of George when he was acting manager of Manchester United, and naturally understands the tactical play of this junior brother, "It is true that the playmaking style of the core can solve a lot of problems, but if you want to use this tactic well, you must have a top playmaker in charge." Carrick is good, with the best view of the big picture and control of the pace of the game among all post-80s England players, but it is obviously too early for him to play like Pirlo and Veron and bring the whole team under his control. ”

As if hearing Bruce's thoughts, George first glanced at the other man, then put his hands into a trumpet shape and gave the latest instructions to the Tottenham players on the field: "Gary, Nemanja, Ledley, be careful to keep the right distance from Michael, make sure he has more than three points around him at any given time! And, Michael, what are you doing running so forward? Do you think you are Ronaldo and planning to single-handedly take on a whole backline?"

George's reminder was very timely. When the Birmingham players were planning to disrupt Tottenham's rhythm and force mistakes by pressing Carrick according to Bruce's pre-game arrangement, they were shocked to find that Carrick had no intention of possessing the ball for a long time. He has been hovering around the center circle of the pitch, and together with Speed and other teammates, he uses passes to control the tempo of Tottenham's game and point out the direction of the attack for his teammates!

The Birmingham players were a little overwhelmed by this unexpected situation. After all, Carrick's position was too far back, making it difficult for them to send enough troops to besiege him. If only one man is sent to press, Carrick can easily get rid of this level of defence with his team-mates, and if there are more people in the past, his own half-court defense will inevitably be weakened a lot, allowing other Tottenham players to get more attacking opportunities up front.

Unable to appear in the Premier League every year despite a lack of attacking strength, Birmingham have relied mainly on a tenacious and iron-blooded defence. Therefore, once it is found that doing so will actively weaken their own defence, the Birmingham players are naturally suspicious of implementing it.

What's more, unlike Veron, who would break away from George's command from time to time and run to the front court without authorization, Carrick, who was born in West Ham United, did not have much capital to compete with George. And, even when he was playing for the Hammers, Carrick was the most inconspicuous of the young men, and he didn't have any personal or collective accolades. Therefore, for George's arrangements and arrangements, Carrick, who lacks capital, naturally will not have any objection or possibility.

At the same time, although the likes of Speed and Nemanja Vidic don't have the ability to be the team's metronome like Carrick, and they lack some control of the big picture on the field, they are still capable of doing a job like this. So, with their support and the concerns of the Birmingham players, Bruce's pressing tactics against Carrick ended in failure, and Tottenham also took the opportunity to continue to play sharp and fast counter-attacks, frequently threatening the Birmingham goal!

While the Birmingham players abandoned their targeted tactics against Carrick after some attempts, the timing of their decision was not good. Because at this time, Birmingham had already paid a painful price for Bruce's arrangement - in the fifteenth minute of the game, Carrick seized the gap left behind the Birmingham players when they stepped forward to defend him, and directly cut Birmingham's slightly empty central defense with a precise through ball, assisting Tony to score a goal, 1-0!

With a goal down early on, the Birmingham players were caught in a dilemma. After all, with the initiative of the game already in the hands of Tottenham, it is difficult for them to guarantee that they will be able to turn it around, whether they choose to continue attacking or defending on the counter-attack.

Although under the command of Bruce, the Birmingham players quickly unified their minds and regrouped to prepare for another 300 rounds with Tottenham, but at this time, Birmingham's goal was once again successfully penetrated by Tottenham!

It turned out that seeing that the Birmingham players were busy re-consolidating and shrinking the defensive line, and relaxed their marking, Bierovka, who was given a high degree of freedom by George before the game, immediately made a decision and volleyed directly from 30 meters away from the goal, and rewrote the score to 2-0 with a world wave!

Bierovka's goal instantly disrupted Birmingham's rhythm and dealt a heavy blow to their morale - no matter which team was in the position to score, the morale of any team would probably be greatly affected, let alone Birmingham, who were hit in a row.

If Birmingham are a team that is strong in attack and weak in defence, they will still have the confidence to make it back from two goals down. However, Birmingham under Bruce are a defensive team through and through, and it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for them to chase two goals in a row in the following period of time.

While they didn't have much confidence in their attacking prowess, the two-goal deficit forced the Birmingham players to take the initiative once the game restarted. And this, naturally, Tottenham Hotspur, which has two wingers of Bierovka and Darren Anderton, as well as a standard combination of one high and one fast striker of Toney and Robbie Keane, has more scoring opportunities!

A minute before the end of the first half, Speed broke the ball and passed directly diagonally to Darren Anderton in front of the right, who dribbled along the right sideline, and a textbook 45-degree cross accurately found Toney's head, assisting the Italian center forward to score twice, 3-0!

The reality of being three goals down in the first half put the Birmingham players off the idea of scoring points against Tottenham, and Bruce's mobilization and furious roar at half-time did not rekindle their desire for victory. Especially after Robbie Keane scored Tottenham's fourth goal of the game just five minutes into the second half, the Birmingham players looked like they were on the verge of giving up the game.

In the face of Birmingham, who had obviously lost the confidence to continue playing, George did not choose to stop there, but waved the flag, replacing Tony, who scored twice in this game, with Drogba, and replacing Darren Anderton with Cristiano Ronaldo, so that the immature Ivory Coast monster can also feel the atmosphere of the Premier League.

However, even if they are not fully mature, Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo still bring a lot of surprises to George and Tottenham fans. In the 86th minute, Ronaldo shook down the opposite Birmingham player with a series of dazzling feints on the right side and then crossed the high ball, and Drogba, who was ambushed in the penalty area, jumped high on a dry ground, pressed the Birmingham defenders who defended him, and pushed the ball into the door of Birmingham, 5-0!

In this way, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who visited St Andrews, won a hearty victory, and after all ten games in the first round of the Premier League, they temporarily occupied the top position of the standings with a goal difference of five goals!
