Chapter 137: One Thirty Seven:

The half-time break is only fifteen minutes, and the coach can do a lot of things, but not too much, and generally put forward his own views on the problem of "if you don't remedy it, you will die", and give special instructions to individual players to boost morale appropriately.

Alex Ferguson, for example, after returning to the dressing room, sent the front-court players aside and made a new deployment at the back. Throughout the first half, De Gea's mistake was indeed the biggest, but his problem was also the most troublesome, because he had just transferred from Atletico Madrid and only came into contact with the Premier League.

Fortunately, Manchester United have a gorgeous lineup, and it seems that all three lines are relatively reliable at the moment, and even if De Gea makes some mistakes, it will not make Ferguson lose patience.

Thanks to the two goals that opened the score, the atmosphere in the home team's dressing room is good, as for Tottenham's side, most players defined this game as a seven-three game before the start of the game, and the probability of winning is not high, Gareth Bell was really excited when he took off on the left side to equalize, and thought God had opened his eyes, looking at this trend, those two goals may just make this game more classic.

Isn't it?

Usually the striker plays tricks, and the goalkeeper in this game is the most eye-catching!

Fans said that in the second half, another goalkeeper would score a perfect goal, which is really no regret at all!

Will reality follow the script written by the fans?

Sometimes it does, but it's enough.

De Gea was not criticized by name, and because of this, he felt awkward in his heart, how to say that feeling? It's like if you do something wrong, you have a very empty heart, and if someone else brings it up and says a few words, you will bring it over, and if everyone knows about it but no one says it, you will always be worried.

The continuous leakage of the ball is a mistake of the goalkeeper, in order to avoid overturning the ship in the gutter, the lord has rearranged the defense, why not talk about him?

Do you want him to be realised?

Or do you want to look at the table xiàn in the second half again?

Or do you know you can't change it so you don't want to waste a short break?

……

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

After all, he is a young player in the nineties, and he has not been famous for a long time, and he has not yet become an old fritter. He was a staple at Atletico last season, and although Atletico and Manchester United are both top-flight clubs and regulars in European competitions, they are still at different levels. After the summer transfer, De Gea changed clubs, he was tantamount to losing the foundation he had laid before, starting again in the Premier League, every game at this stage is crucial, if he repeats the script of the first half, even if he wins the game, he may not be able to sit in the position.

Ferguson is the best at psychological warfare, and he expected De Gea's reaction, knowing that the player would think more, why not say a few words to ease his heart?

The answer is simple, because I want to take this opportunity to explore the limits of a player and wonder if he is the kind of player who performs better when he is under pressure.

There is a risk of losing when it comes to testing the official game, but Ferguson is at least 60% sure that he can give it a go. Thinking about it, testing players with this intensity is much more real and reliable than the conclusions drawn from training with guò, and he sincerely hopes that De Gea can adjust and play steadily under high pressure, if not amazing, then qualified.

Don't forget that the opponent in this game is Tottenham.

Extremely fast, Tottenham with both wings flying.

They like to launch lightning surprises, and for the goalkeeper, the threat is already relatively high.

If you can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Tottenham, it will be a matter of time before you adapt to the Premier League.

De Gea was more focused than he had in the first half, saving Van der Vaart's shot at the start of the second half to create a counter-attack for United...... From this counterattack, it can be seen that Friedel also reflected on the fifteen minutes of half-time, and in order to brush away the bad impression of the first half, he made very hard saves.

In the 48th minute, the hat-wearing dragon dad gave up the chance to get off the ground, crossed Rooney, and then a low shot of high quality was confiscated by Friedel.

In the 49th minute, Tottenham, who came from the counterattack, also created a good chance, Van der Vaart presented a wonderful pass, Defoe's long-distance shot was blocked by De Gea, and the Spanish goalkeeper was worried about sitting on the bench in the next round of the game, and he has already used his best at this time!!

In the 50th minute, Bale had a great chance on the left flank, his shot grazed the post, and the away fans sighed in the stands, and the BBC commentary was also a pity, if the goal could be scored, the score would have become 4:3, and with 40 minutes left on the game time, there was only one goal left, which was a very small difference.

Originally, Bell could have created a miracle, but God gave him the opportunity to wear a hat, but he didn't grasp it, and he still pursued the angle too much.

In the first five minutes of the second half, the two sides went back and forth, and if you don't look at the slightly desperate score, just watch the scene, it's actually still very exciting.

Although it was already four o'clock in the morning Beijing time, on the Chinese side, the ratings of CCTV Sports Station were still amazing, according to the feedback from netizens, they were still a little drowsy when they first started watching the live broadcast, but the first half was too funny, from Bengbu to Friedel's hand throw...... Most of them laughed soberly.

In addition, during the intermission, CCTV forcibly implanted advertisements, which happened to put the Coca-Cola version of Sleeping Beauty filmed by Leander and Ronaldo, and the fans who were going to make coffee forcibly turned around and walked to the front of the refrigerator and took out Coke-

[Since the advertisement of Sleeping Beauty, I haven't stopped drinking Coca-Cola every day, I forgot today, CCTV is spicy, and it was forcibly implanted during the live broadcast, and I went to the refrigerator to get a bottle / (tot)

[I'm really embarrassed to say, in order to grab a few more posters, Lao Tzu moved a few large boxes back, and drank half of it today!] ]

[Poor looking at you quietly, I didn't know about the luxury of Coke since the day I graduated from college!] ]

[I was also too excited on the day the new packaging was released, I bought three boxes back, and I forgot that I had a monthly income of 2k_ (:3ゝ∠)_, I was so poor these months that I ate soil, this is love! It's true love! ]

[……]

After the advertisement ended, the picture was once again focused on the green field, and the commentators and guests were also in place, ready to have a wave, and after seeing the topic on the message board, they were not very good. I just went to pee and came back with a pee, and the world has changed, how did the topic jump from goalkeeper to Coca-Cola? Let's talk about all-stars!!

Thanks to the excitement of the game, it forcibly pulled the audience's attention back, and in the first five minutes of the second half, the commentary of CCTV Sports Station didn't take a few breaths, and just explained the previous picture clearly, and a new problem came!

Five minutes, several times in just five minutes!

Seriously, the lord really wants to change a few people to rest, not to pretend to be forced, nor to let them enjoy the applause of the fans, but for the sake of the next round of games, this event arrangement is really fucked up, in the third round of the Premier League, Manchester United is still sitting at Old Trafford, and the opponent who comes to challenge is Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's side are fighting for the top four every year, which is another indication of their quality.

Because of the investment in the construction of the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners have been frugal over the years, and their tickets have increased year by year, but there are few decent reinforcements, and most of the people who buy them are young players who have just emerged, which is cheap and has room for training...... It is not easy to compete for the fourth place in the Premier League, which is under huge competitive pressure. Ferguson began to coach Manchester United in 86, and it has been 25 years now, Wenger took over Arsenal's coaching whip in 96, although the time is less than a full decade, but in fact, they belong to the most stable group of coaches in the Premier League, because they are too stable, they deal with each other a lot of times, the two sides win and lose each other, and the hatred is rising every year.

Ferguson hated both of them, and the media knew it.

One is Arsene Wenger, the fateful opponent.

The second is to ruin his beloved Victoria.

There is a most famous joke in the Premier League, the reporter asked Ferguson: If you were given a gun and there was a bullet in it, who would you aim for? Is it Victoria or Arsene Wenger?

Alex Ferguson: Please give me two bullets......

_(:3ゝ∠)_

There is a slight discrepancy in the original words, but that's what it means anyway.

In previous years, when Arsenal won the double, the lord also soured, saying that the Gunners won purely by luck, and Manchester United was the best team in the world. What happened to Professor Wenger at that time? He said, oh, I can understand that feeling, because every man thinks his wife is the most beautiful.

Especially when Jose Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea, the three major mouths of the Premier League played with each other, and the media never had to worry about the sales of newspapers.

Arsene Wenger dislikes Chelsea as an upstart!

Of course, there are also elements of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

At the time, the Blues boss preferred to play with Alex Ferguson, as Chelsea's biggest rival in the two years when he swept the Premier League was Manchester United. Mourinho also let go of the big move, saying that I never thought that I would still be coaching on the sidelines at the age of 70.

……

Ferguson doesn't like to waste time on unsightly opponents, and his fact that he likes to fight Wenger so much is also a disguised admission.

Because the relationship is too deep, in the third round of the league, Manchester United and Arsenal want to win anyway.

Especially Arsenal, they didn't play in the first round of the league, went to the Europa League qualification, lost 0:2 at home to Liverpool in the second round, this was the game two days ago, this defeat put a lot of pressure on the Gunners team, and they haven't won in the past two rounds, is this like a word? Challenging Manchester United away in the third round has a feeling of ruin for them, and only a win can suppress public opinion, and a loss is □□ likely to be hacked.

Arsene Wenger was mentally prepared for this, and Ferguson guessed that he would make a big move, so he hoped to arrange for the main players to rest in rotation anyway to recharge for the next round.

The stalemate lasted for seven or eight minutes, Ferguson signaled to the middle of the field for the first time, and then Manchester United's momentum changed, their back line was still steady, and the midfield was excited, and the pressure on Tottenham was even greater.

The commentary is a little incomprehensible.

"Manchester United are playing at home and are 4-2 up, they have the advantage in their hands, they can slow down the tempo, or even completely press down and Tottenham slowly wear it down. We all know that Tottenham is a team that can play to its best in athletic warfare, and once it turns to positional warfare, the players are like being tied up, and it is difficult to play their strength...... According to normal logic, Sir Alex Ferguson should play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, but he did the opposite. ”

"Probably because they are not afraid to play against Tottenham, Kaka's arrival has greatly enhanced the Red Devils' midfield control, Leander and Rooney's front double arrows are also able to grab and fight, these three people like to play extreme overtaking, if they can quickly establish an advantage to widen the gap to three or four goals, the rest of the game will be simple, Ferguson's choice seems a bit beyond common sense, in fact, it is also well-founded."

You think you should be steady when you are ahead, and he thinks that since we have the capital, why not let go and rush two. Even if there is an accident and the ball is lost, there is still a one-goal advantage left, and it is okay to swing the bus at that time, and if it is a qiē shun lì, then the game can end early.

The premise of using this tactic is actually to lead by two goals, which is a relatively safe number, and if it is 3:2 or 4:3 now, Ferguson will not act rashly.

After his instructions were conveyed, the atmosphere on the field became a little suffocating, and the rhythm of you going back and forth to fight against each other was forced to speed up another round. Kaka used his personal ability in the midfield to make a strong steal, he drove the ball forward from the middle circle, it was a very embarrassing distance, outside the penalty area, the goalkeeper is not good to rush to attack, but if his teammates reach the ball and shoot directly, such a great opportunity Dragon Dad will miss? He aimed at the position of the opposing player, made sure that he was not offside at the moment when Kaka kicked up, and then chased forward desperately.

Leander !! Leander is fast!! It felt like a bolt of lightning and he caught up, he touched the ball before the defender, he didn't delay for a second to get up on the spot-"

“goal! al!!! ”

This is a typical case of using speed to eat the opponent raw, unless that moment can be successfully offside, or use a foul to bring him down, if you easily let him catch the ball, the price is not affordable for ordinary people!

At least the American veteran Friedel couldn't save this shot, his fingertips rubbed a little, but unfortunately he couldn't change the flight trajectory, and the shot still hit! It didn't feel that hard, it was easy to hit, and Ferguson made a celebratory gesture with a clenched fist on the sidelines.

Very good!

The first step of the plan was successful!

It's the 57th minute of the game, and if stoppage time is included, there are about 35 minutes left before the end of the game, and they have home advantage and a three-goal lead, which is enough! Enough is enough!

Manchester United is not Blackburn, if you can't even hold a three-goal advantage at home, and finally make people turn the tables, these players can also retire, and they still want to go to Real Madrid Barcelona? Still want to win the Champions League?

Ferguson decisively sent Ryan Giggs, Evans and Welbeck to warm up.

Ryan Giggs for Kaka, Evans for Vidic and Welbeck for Leander.

One substitution was made in the front, middle and back.

Even if he changed this line-up, it was actually the top of the Premier League, especially after raising the cards, Giggs and Kaka high-fived and trotted into the field, and it was at this moment that he achieved an achievement: it was the 614th league game of the Manchester United legend, breaking the record for appearances in the top flight for a single club, and no matter what his appearance, this number can shock many people.

Some fans joked that it would be nice if Ryan Giggs was so loyal to his wife and to Manchester United.

What is the concept of more than 600 league games?

Even if you don't have injuries and play every game, there are only more than 30 rounds in a season, and to break this record, you have to maintain a high level of performance and play in the top league for more than 20 years.

In fact, Ryan Giggs was the one of Beckham's group, and he was one of the first of those people to enter the main team, making his Premier League debut in '91, scoring a perfect goal on his debut, and was hailed as a supernova by Manchester United fans...... Counting from that time, it is true that there have been twenty years now, and it has not been easy for Giggs.

This is also why fans will be so shocked when the cheating door breaks out, even more shocked than Rooney's prostitution.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

There is someone at home who is coming with the rhythm, and the fans are applauding Ryan Giggs at this time, and the commentary of the sports station also mentions this record, no matter what his private life is, you just look at his career, it is indeed great. Leander applauded, and when he was done, he turned his head and bragged to Kaka.

"I'm happy in my senior year."

"Oh, congratulations."

"You're still swearing that you're going to wear a hat in this game!"

"I clearly said that I would fight for ......"

Leander patted him on the shoulder, the lad wasn't trying hard enough!

"Let's fight Arsenal next? You can wear a hat and I'll please eat fried chicken thighs! ”

Kaka: That's what you like!!

Well, for the sake of this rare generosity, "I'll do my best." ”

……

Manchester United are not doing well as a team.

Ferguson's expression also stiffened for a moment, but fortunately, the camera only captured the two stars whispering, and didn't know what they said, otherwise Wenger would be more upset after the next round of the league?

#对面那些禽兽一起爆发就为炸鸡腿#

#我果然跟不上时代了#

I am on the field and watching the game on the sidelines are two states for Leander, he was very calm for more than half an hour, and Kaka was blowing a lot of water, chatting all over the world, talking about the substitute players sitting next to him can't watch the game well, all distracted to listen to them, the bench presents two pictures, Tottenham is nervous, all hands are folded, some are pressed on the chest, and some cover their mouths. Manchester United, on the other hand, pretended to be very serious, but in fact, they pricked up their ears and listened to the chatting and farting of their teammates next to them...... If there is anything similar, Redknapp and Ferguson's expressions are highly consistent, they are both expressionless.

One is Yan sù from the heart, and the other is worried about smiling.

As the game drew closer to the end, the atmosphere was not relaxed, and there was a bit of gunsmoke on both sides, and the referee issued two yellow cards in a row, and by the 88th minute, United had scored the game-winning goal, Welbeck and Wayne Rooney collided against the wall and scored with ease.

Tottenham were still working hard to save face in the last minute of stoppage time when Gareth Bale's cross from the left was met by Van der Vaart to make it 6-3.

Although Bale was a bit of a showrunner, however, the score was very satisfying. They won both rounds of games and brushed the goal difference to ten, properly occupying the top spot in the standings, and it is only fitting to welcome Arsenal in such a posture, the Gunners are currently with zero points and a goal difference of -2 because they have one game less.

The next round of the game is a little easier for Manchester United because the opposition is under a lot of pressure.
