PS1: Click here to collect and recommend, thank you......

PS2: Yesterday there was a little more work in the unit, and I was seriously sleepy after taking cold medicine when I went home, so I was late for the update today, I'm really sorry......

Seeing that Arsenal failed to take advantage of Tottenham Hotspur in two consecutive games, but was also counterattacked by the opponent with a defensive counterattack, Ferguson was soberly aware that under the leadership of George, Tottenham has transformed from a half-dead midstream team into a new force to be ignored in the Premier League!

Although Tottenham Hotspur was a little opportunistic in these two games against Arsenal, it is undeniable that Tottenham does have the strength to wrestle with Arsenal. www.biquge.info If this were not the case, Tottenham, even if they offered the most effective weapon against Arsenal, it would be difficult for Tottenham to force the all-main Gunners to this point - on this point, the Premier League teams who tried to emulate Tottenham's tactics but were eventually taught by Arsenal are arguably the most vocal.

However, although enough attention has been paid to the rise of Tottenham, the lord has no intention of hindering it. Because Ferguson knows very well that now that Beckham has left the team and other key members of the 92 class have aged, Manchester United, which is in the rebuilding period, no longer has enough ability to play the role of a roadblock on the road to Tottenham's rise.

Another reason why Ferguson doesn't plan to thwart Tottenham's rise is that he still sees George as his heir. Therefore, although George, as the owner of Tottenham Hotspur, is destined to take over the coaching whip of the lord at Manchester United, Ferguson still hopes that this disciple who has a deep friendship with him can show his strengths in White Hart Lane and show enough dazzling results at Tottenham Hotspur to make his teacher shine on his face.

Therefore, in Ferguson's view, since Manchester United cannot become an obstacle on the road to Tottenham's rise, it is better to be a good onlooker and watch Tottenham and Chelsea, two Premier League upstarts, besiege Arsenal at its peak, and create more obstacles for this rival, so that the Gunners cannot take advantage of the time when Manchester United is rebuilding to dominate English football!

In Ferguson's plan, United only need to qualify for a Champions League at the end of the season in the next two or three seasons, and the main task is to complete the rebuilding of the team as soon as possible. Therefore, the task of suppressing Arsenal is left to other teams, and Tottenham Hotspur, who have shown signs of rising momentum this season, is a pretty good choice.

Putting aside Ferguson, who is gloating at home, let's turn the camera back to the game that is being played out at White Hart Lane. Seeing that the game time was getting less and less, and the score on the field remained 1-0, Wenger couldn't sit still, walked to the sidelines and kept gesticulating, conveying various instructions to the Arsenal players on the field. At the same time, Arsene Wenger also replaced Ljungberg with veteran Ray Parlour and replaced Robert Pire with Spanish teenager Reyes, so as to ensure the fitness of the frontcourt players, so that the team can suppress Tottenham in attack and maintain enough pressure to make opponents dare not invest more troops in the counter-attack.

However, Wenger's two substitutions did not have the desired effect. In other words, only Parlor played his due role after coming on the field, and Reyes, who came on as a substitute for Pire, did not seem to have found the feeling of the game, but showed signs of dragging Arsenal back!

Similar to Ljungberg, Parlol, who turns 31 in just over a month, is known in the Premier League for his diligence and tenacity on the pitch. And unlike the Swede, Parloer is one of the few players in the current Arsenal squad who has gone through the back five era, only to have to give way to Ljungberg rising star due to a knee injury. Therefore, Parlour quickly integrated into Arsenal's tactical system after coming on the pitch, replacing Ljungberg to shine for the Gunners at both ends of the pitch.

If Arsene Wenger's move to replace Ljungberg with Parlour could be seen as a good counter-change, then bringing on Reyes would be a bit of a rush at the moment. The talented left winger, who was hailed by Zinedine Zidane last year as "playing on a motorcycle", has not shown the amazing form he had at Sevilla since arriving at Highbury this winter, and although his performance can be called decent, he is still somewhat sorry for the £10 million transfer fee that Wenger paid for him.

In fact, it is inevitable that Reyes' performance will fluctuate. You know, Spain and England are almost very different from each other in terms of living environment and football style. Coupled with Arsenal's unique attacking system, it's not uncommon for Reyes, who is only 20 years old, to be uncomfortable.

As a result, after replacing Reyes, Tottenham's defensive pressure has been reduced a lot. Because the newcomer Reyes is not used to cutting inside like Pire, but still has a lot of traditional winger style, which inevitably compresses Henry's space to move.

Sure enough, in the following period, Reyes and Thierry Henry, who are accustomed to playing on the left side of the pitch, repeatedly overlapped in their running positions, and Bergkamp was left alone in the middle, which further reduced Arsenal's threat in attack. After all, Dawson, Vermaelen, Poyet and Kompany have a total of four players targeting Bergkamp, and no matter how you look at it, it is unlikely that the Ice Prince will still have the ability to break through Tottenham's goal with this level of defense.

George's response was quite swift. Seeing Reyes and Henry frequently "crashing" on the field, he immediately realized that this was due to the fact that the two had not yet formed a tacit understanding. So, without waiting for Wenger to make amends, George waved his hand and replaced the veteran Poyet with Ribery, and at the same time let Villa return to the middle and partner Tony in the front!

George's move surprised everyone. No one could have predicted that George would replace a defensive midfielder with a winger when the score was leading and the tactics set up proved to be extremely restrained by Arsenal!

"This guy, weakening the defense at this time, isn't he afraid that we will take the opportunity to equalize?" Seeing George's substitution choice, Wenger, who was about to make another adjustment to the team's lineup, couldn't help but be taken aback, and had another calculation in his heart, "After Poyet is gone, Tottenham's protection of the front of the penalty area and the back line must not be as tight as before...... In this way, maybe we still have a chance to turn the tables?"

If Arsene Wenger really thinks so, then he has fallen into the trap set by George. The reason why George replaced Poyet with Ribery is because of the internal friction of Reyes and Henry, which makes Arsenal much less threatening in the offensive end, and there is no need to defend in the middle as before;

In the 86th minute of the game, Reyes and Thierry Henry once again appeared on the left side of the pitch at the same time, while the Tottenham players still tacitly concentrated their forces in the middle and ignored the two who were huddled together on the left flank.

Seeing that the opponent's penalty area did not even have a team-mate to answer, and it was crowded with players from the Tottenham side, Henry could be said to be crying, and he felt that Wenger had made a real mistake in sending Reyes in this game - it would be better to send Kanu or Wiltord to play such a newcomer who has not yet integrated into Arsenal's tactical system. At least the former's height of 1.97 meters can somewhat contain Tottenham's defense, while the latter's confrontation ability and past glory experience (helping France equalize at the end of the Euro 2000 final) are enough to make Tottenham defenders afraid of three points.

And what about Reyes, Henry really didn't think the new team-mate could help him much, other than fighting for turf with himself.

Like Henry, Reyes was also feeling rather depressed at this time. He has an excellent ball intelligence and has realized the problem and wants to back down to give Thierry Henry, the big man of the team, more room to maneuver, but he has never been able to find a solution to the problem - after seeing the fierce defense of the Tottenham players, Reyes did not dare to cut inside like Pire.

It's not about the level of the ball quotient, it's purely because Reyes has not yet adapted to Arsenal's tactical style of play and England's style of football, and is still retaining the habits he developed when he played in Sevilla. So, if Wenger doesn't want the £10 million investment to go down the drain, he must fundamentally change Reyes' soft style of play and move the Spaniard from a traditional winger to Pire!

Seeing that Reyes did not dare to go to the middle to help him attract the defense, Henry had no choice but to single-handedly kill the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area. As a result, as soon as Henry burst into the penalty area with the ball, he was caught by Dawson and Kompany!

Although Dawson and Vermaelen lacked the game experience and were not as capable as Vidic and Ridley King, they were both very positive and well-behaved and teamed up. Coupled with Phil Neville's guidance and the continuous assistance of midfielders such as Kompany and Basturke, it would be a fool's dream for Arsenal to think that without Poyet, they could tear a hole in Tottenham's backline!

Seeing this, Henry didn't dare to try to break through the defense of the two with the ball, and hurriedly made an inverted triangle pass, passing the ball to Bergkamp, who was responding at the top of the arc of the penalty area, Dawson and Kompany The expression on their faces, as if they wanted to directly knock Henry apart, really shocked the King of Highbury, for fear that these two stunned young men would not be able to restrain themselves and hurt themselves.

In Thierry Henry's view, this is just a League Cup semi-final, and it is not a match about the title of the competition, so there is no need to play so hard with these young men.

Bergkamp couldn't get on top of Thierry Henry's pass and the ball was cut off by Vermaelen's outstretched foot. The Belgian central defender, who had made a successful tackle, immediately launched a long counterattack, and Ribery used his speed advantage to leave Lauren far behind, and after receiving a long pass from Vermaelen, he burst into the penalty area and stabbed it alone!

Facing Lehmann, who decisively abandoned the goal, Ribery did not choose to go head-to-head with the opponent this time, but knocked the ball to the middle after making a shooting feint, and the follow-up Villa hit a fatal blow to rewrite the score to 2-0!

2-0!Villa scored his second goal of the game to seal the win for Tottenham Hotspur!

After seeing Tottenham rewrite the score to 2-0, Wenger, who knew that the situation was gone, had to sigh and replace Henry with Nigerian international Nwankovo Kanu, announcing that he would surrender and give up this League Cup semi-final!

In the end, when full-time was over, Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal by two goals at White Hart Lane and advanced to the League Cup final with an aggregate score of 2-0!
