Tottenham were fourth in the Premier League last season and have the likes of Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Van der Vaart and Crouch in their squad, while manager Redknapp has a wealth of experience and is still a title contender in fifth place after nine rounds this season.

However, Manchester United is not afraid of Tottenham, and even likes to play Tottenham, I don't know if it is because of the style of play, or because it wants to pit the sworn enemies of Arsenal and Chelsea, in short, Tottenham has played Manchester United for so many years, and has not won away for 21 years and at home for 10 years.

The weekend's game against Tottenham Hotspur saw Manchester United set to make the best start in team history, with bigwigs and superstars battling for the captaincy, and the fans were enthusiastic enough to arrive outside Old Trafford early to wait for their entry.

Journalists also came to the stadium ahead to interview the fans, asking them what they thought of the game, who they thought of the United captain and asking them what they expected of Manchester United this season.

Manchester United are in the middle of a handover this season, and before the start of the season, fans did not dare to expect too much from Manchester United, thinking that they would be satisfied with snatching the league title from Chelsea, but Manchester United started so hard that the Red Devils now have higher expectations for Manchester United, and they all hope that United can repeat the glory of winning the treble in 99.

What the reporters didn't imagine was that when asking Manchester United fans about the captain, there were a considerable number of fans who hoped that Gao Xiaodong could become the captain of Manchester United, and these Manchester United fans believed that although Gao Xiaodong was not very similar to the previous Manchester United captain, he had Manchester United's desperate spirit for victory, and they believed that Gao Xiaodong could lead Manchester United to the top of Europe.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the United players travelled by bus from Carrington training base to Old Trafford.

Thanks to Captain Gary. Neville's announcement of retirement was tacitly approved by Alex Ferguson, and Manchester United's players understood that the day was not far off when the Class of 92 bigwigs would leave.

Although the local gang is still strong, Ferdinand, Rooney, Carrick, and Fletcher are still the backbone of Manchester United, but the continental gang led by Vidic, Evra, Van der Sar, and Berbatov can also compete with the local gang.

In addition, Gao Xiaodong, who has just come to Manchester United with a sky-high transfer fee, has also won his own supporters after showing his strength, Nani, Anderson, Rafael, Hernandez and other Portuguese players are close to him, and Park Ji-sung, who is also from Asia, has also begun to move closer to Gao Xiaodong after a period of observation, and now he has just celebrated his 21st birthday, Gao Xiaodong has become the core figure of the Asian, African and Latin American gangs outside the British Gang and the Mainland Gang.

On the bus, when the players chose their seats, they were obviously divided into three parts, the local gang sat together, the mainland gang sat together, and Gao Xiaodong, these Asian and American players sat together.

The three bigwigs of the class of 92, Neville, Scholes and Giggs, also saw it clearly, but they didn't say anything, Neville retired during the winter break, and if he can win the league title this season and surpass Liverpool, Scholes and Giggs will also retire.

Since they are all leaving, there is no need to care about how these young people in the team toss, anyway, as long as they don't make trouble in the locker room, they can win the game, and the big guys of the 92 class are left to them to fight, and the ones who can stand out in the competition are the real leaders.

Arriving in the dressing room, tactical coach Muhrensdin handed the tactical board to Ferguson, who repeated to the players the tactical arrangements and issues to pay attention to in this game, and then the players went out to warm up.

At this moment, the stadium at Old Trafford is full of Manchester United fans in red jerseys, and the grandeur of Old Trafford is like a sea of red.

Seeing the Manchester United players come out, the "ocean" churned, and more than 70,000 fans erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"Little Donggao!"

"Rooney!"

"Berbatov!"

……

The on-site commentators shouted the names of the players in a long voice to introduce the fans to the starting line-ups of both sides today.

Facing Tottenham Hotspur at home, Manchester United's starting line-up today was bold and aggressive.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Van der Sar

Defenders: No. 21 Rafael, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 15 Vidic, No. 3 Evra

Midfielders: No. 17 Nani, No. 24 Fletcher, No. 10 Gao Xiaodong, No. 11 Ryan Giggs

Forwards: No. 9 Berbatov, No. 7 Rooney

And the starting lineup of veteran coach Redknapp for Tottenham is a somewhat conservative 451 formation:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Gomez

Defenders: No. 2 Hutton, No. 13 Galla, No. 4 Kabool, No. 32 Héctor

Midfielders: No. 7 Lennon, No. 14 Modric, No. 8 Jenas, No. 11 Van der Vaart, No. 3 Bale

Forward: No. 10 Robbie Keane

The on-site commentator Martin was full of emotion about Lord Ferguson's start, "In the face of Tottenham, which is ranked fifth in the league, such a start, I can't help but doubt the age of the lord, not at all like a 70-year-old man, full of courage and aggression, full-back on Rafael, two full-backs on Giggs and Nani, double forwards, this is really not taking Tottenham in my eyes." ”

At the same time, Martin was also surprised that Ferguson put Scholes on the bench and Giggs in the starting lineup, "Tottenham's midfield has Modric, Bale and Van der Vaart, there is no doubt that the attack is strong, and there is nothing wrong with Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher strengthening the defense in the middle, but what does it mean to go to Giggs as a fullback, do you still expect a handful of old Giggs and Bale to explode each other? Shouldn't Park Ji-sung be on to guard against Bale?"

Martin is a veteran critic, but he's not Alex Ferguson, and he certainly doesn't understand what Ferguson thinks.

After Neville announced his retirement, Ferguson was dissatisfied with the captaincy's captaincy because the player's agent was involved, and said that "to be the captain of Manchester United, you must not only be the leader of the dressing room, but also be able to play an important role on the pitch".

Manchester United's players have meticulous training, but Gao Xiaodong is different, he feels that his seniority in Manchester United is too shallow, and he needs the support of the fans, so he plays some tricks from time to time to please the fans during training.

Manchester United's bigwigs frowned, thinking that this was a strong dialogue, not a friendly match, Gao Xiaodong was inappropriate to do this, Manchester United did not rely on Arsenal, Barcelona's so-called acrobatic football to please the fans, Manchester United relied on blood, fighting spirit and championships.

It's useless for the bigwigs to dislike it, which does not prevent Gao Xiaodong from becoming the focus of the stadium, since he appeared on the field and returned after the warm-up, the fans have been constantly applauding Gao Xiaodong and chanting Gao Xiaodong's name.

At 7:40 p.m., players from both sides walked out of the dressing room under the leadership of referee Gomez, and after exchanging team flags and logos, the focus of the 10th round of the Premier League between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur kicked off
