277 Win in a row!
When Manchester United bombarded Southampton at home, Shinji Kagawa was clearly trying to feed Van Persie more shells.
Perhaps he expects to use this way to prove that he is not what Van Persie says, and will only pass the ball to Tang Hong.
Although he was silent in the team, he still resisted in his own way.
But the effect of this kind of play is not very good, especially in the context of Van Persie has scored a goal, Southampton is very strict against Van Persie, although Van Persie also has Rooney in the middle to contain the firepower, but he is not like Tang Hong can have the threat of cutting inside on the side and shooting with his feet.
Expecting a team-mate to make a good pass, adjust yourself or shoot straight to the goal is something that happens, but it's not very common.
However, the effect of Manchester United's play is to tilt the focus of Southampton's defense and further strengthen the blockade of Van Persie.
In the 43rd minute, when Rafael assisted the pitch, Van Persie besieged the ball diagonally to the wing.
Rafael stops the ball on the flank and crosses with his feet.
The football flew to the back of the penalty area, with Van Persie and Rooney containing the troops, Tang Hong's cut into the back of the penalty area was quite hidden, becoming an unexpected attack point that caught the Southampton defense off guard.
Unmarked, Tang Hong jumped up to meet the ball, shook his head and attacked the goal, and pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!
Old Trafford erupted in earth-shattering cheers!
Tang Hong ran to the sidelines to celebrate with a smile on his face, which made the Red Devils fans almost crazy!
Van Persie equalized the score, and Tang Hong scored a goal to overtake!
The Red Devils are in full swing!
The first half ended quickly, and on the way back to the locker room, Van Persie took the initiative to pat Kagawa on the shoulder and whispered something to him, and then Kagawa smiled and patted him.
It seems that Van Persie took the initiative to apologize to Shinji Kagawa.
He wasn't a mad dog, and he definitely didn't think what he was doing was appropriate when he calmed down afterwards.
There was a goal in today's game, and his teammates also actively created opportunities for him, and the big man can bend and stretch, and he should take the initiative to take responsibility and apologize, and there is nothing that he can't let go of.
Manchester United's assistant coach Mike Phelan saw the scene in his eyes and nodded slightly.
Even though the team may not be a real family as expected, it is always good to have more unity and less conflict.
In the second half, Manchester United led but did not relax in the slightest attack.
Southampton survived the first 20 minutes and then tried to fight back, but at the beginning of the 70th minute, Tang Hong cut inside on the left side of the front field to receive Rooney's return pass and then transferred the ball to the right side.
Rafael provided the assist again, this time as he went down the ball while Van Persie and Wayne Rooney both got into the box, and Tang Hong followed up at the back to add depth to the attacking spot.
Rafael's low cross sent the ball to the middle of the goal, and Wayne Rooney followed up with a header!
Manchester United 3:1 Southampton.
Rafael assists to score twice!
It finally reminds people of the country he came from, called Brazil.
United's current attacking combination has made the style of play different than before, when Valencia played as a right wing-back, it was basically Valencia who crossed from the wing, but now Van Persie is more inclined to get into the box and look for opportunities, so Rafael has space and opportunities to make a difference.
As for Patrice Evra on the left, he is still relatively solid, and his form has not been stable since he turned 30, and it is understandable that his assist range has dropped.
After Manchester United took a two-goal lead, they began to control the tempo, and Ferguson also used up three substitutions in succession.
In the end, Manchester United defeated visiting Southampton 3-1 to make it two wins in a row.
In the same round, Manchester City were held to a draw away from Queens Park Rangers and City's winning streak came to an end.
Manchester United's lead went from 2 points to 4 points!
With just four days to go until the weekend's league game, United have fine-tuned their attacking tactics as they prepare for the game.
Mike Ferran called Rooney, Tang Hong, and Van Persie to the training ground, and then took the tactical board to explain the key points of the tactical changes to the three.
This is obviously Ferguson's instructions, and this hand-off shopkeeper is really thorough, and after putting forward an idea, he will let the assistants around him implement it.
Wayne Rooney is at the heart of the tactical change and he needs to expand his range of movement even further.
To put it simply, when Rooney retreats to the run, Van Persie and Tang Hong have to quickly cut inside to form a forward threat to the two ribs of the penalty area.
If Wayne Rooney runs and pulls the wing, then the winger at the far post will move to the middle of the box to become a central striker, while the winger at the near post will start cutting inside.
Having two strikers in the box at all times can create a threat to the opposition goal, while allowing for more flexibility in the interspersed movements.
After comprehending the technical and tactical ideas, they conducted a simple drill in training.
For Tang Hong, the change is not complicated, in essence, Rooney has to take on more tasks of tandem with the midfielder and covering for the wingers.
Heading into February, Manchester United travelled to London at the weekend to take on Fulham.
Fulham, who were battling relegation, set up buses at home, and United dominated the game from the start, bombarding their opponents incessantly.
United's forward line is more dynamic than ever, with frequent in-cut cuts from Robin van Persie and Tang Hong, as well as the absolute dominance of Rooney Rooney after receiving from the wings, making it difficult for the Fulham defence to guard.
However, United's 18 shots on goal in the first half were scoreless, leaving Ferguson looking ugly on the sidelines.
Either the slightest difference in the door is blocked by the opponent's limit!
Among the 18 shots, Tang Hong only had 4 shots, 1 long-range shot from outside the box slid past the goal, and 2 of the 3 shots in the box were cleared within the goal.
Van Persie hit 7 shots on goal to no avail, and he was also angry!
Absolutely no problem with the style of play, it looks like United are just lacking some luck.
Manchester United were a little anxious at the beginning of the second half, and it was not a good sign that they had not scored for too long, and Rio Ferdinand returned to the starting line-up partner Evans also began to get busy, Fulham had a simple idea of the game in the first half, and just held on, but in the second half found that the goal was almost broken by Manchester United but still did not concede a goal.
I don't know if Lady Luck was drunk today and wanted to have a one-night stand with Fulham, or if they themselves made up their minds to play in the second half.
Fulham's counter-attacking pitches began to pick up after 60 minutes, with the Reds defence putting a number of stops on the counter-attack.
As the 75 minutes passed, even Manchester United fans couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that today was the defensive line and the attack was pulling the hips?
The thought was only fleeting.
In the 76th minute of the game, when Rooney retreated to meet the wall with Shinji Kagawa and then turned forward, he met the ball with a long shot, the football was blocked by Fulham defender Hangrande, the pop-up football happened to be controlled by Van Persie, and he took a step sideways in the right rib area of the penalty area just into the penalty area and then shot with his feet, Van Persie's powerful shot was still blocked by goalkeeper Schwarzer!
The ball flew outside the box and was controlled by Carrick, who quickly tucked the ball straight into the counter-attack.
Shinji Kagawa dialed the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, changed direction, and completed the adjustment by the way, and it was also a long-range shot!
However, his shot was not very powerful, and the football was blocked by defender Sendros in the penalty area!
Manchester United fans are about to collapse!
Are Manchester United brushing up shots in this game?
Three shots on goal in a short period of time!
In the next second, the football blocked by Senderos was blasted into the far corner of the goal by Tang Hong, who rushed up, in the left rib area of the penalty area!
Tang Hong really didn't think much about it, the penalty area was full of people, and no matter how well he thought at this time, it was basically impossible to have space and opportunities for execution.
When the ball is in front of you, just close your eyes and pick it up!
As a striker, you must have faith: vigorously produce miracles!
When the ball almost instantaneously flew into the top right corner of the goal, the players in the penalty area, whether it was Manchester United or Fulham, reacted in hindsight because the ball was too fast!
The ball went in?
The ball is in!
Fulham fans were devastated and Manchester United fans were ecstatic!
This goal is really hard for them to wait!
Tang Hong did not rush to the sidelines after scoring a goal, but beckoned his teammates to come to his side, and everyone hugged each other, as if they were invincible!
Fulham's late comeback failed to find the back of the net for United, who eventually won 1-0 away thanks to Tang Hong's stunner.
Despite the data, they should have been a small-scale massacre at the very least......
After the game, Fleet Street released a report to comment that after Tang Hong's return from injury, Manchester United went from a five-round winless streak to a three-game winning streak, which further proved his importance to this team!
Mendes called Tang Hong again, claiming that Manchester United had increased the conditions of his contract extension, and that a weekly salary of £200,000 was enough to make Tang Hong one of the top 10 stars in the Premier League.
This time, Mendes really expects Tang Hong to sign the contract!
Just as Tang Hong was driving a newly bought Maybach seven-seater luxury MVP to the airport, Tang Hong and Sun Rou held his mobile phone in the passenger seat and asked him to talk on hands-free.
"Jorge, I can understand your concerns, signing at this time, whether it is three years or four years, I have at least 20 million pounds of income security, thank you.
But my position has not changed, because the situation has not changed!
It wasn't about money from start to finish, Manchester United showed sincerity, but it wasn't exactly what I needed.
I don't want to change my mind when things are getting more favorable for us.
Now we'll wait until the end of the season to see what happens to Manchester United.
To put it another way, how much do you think other clubs will give me when Manchester United are willing to give me £200,000 a week? ”
"Hong, you have to be aware of the reality, if Manchester United are willing to give you a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, which is worthy of your performance and value, even if the whole world recognizes that you are indeed worthy of this income, but there are not many clubs in the whole European football world that can afford such conditions!"
This reminded Tang Hong, and Mendes's words continued to come from the phone.
"Think about it, you could go to Arsenal last summer, but can you go to Arsenal this summer? They can't afford a higher transfer fee, and they can't afford to give you £200,000 a week, even if they think you're worth it, but they have a limited budget!
The whole world wants Messi and Ronaldo, but how much does it cost to take them now? A transfer fee of 200 million euros is a slight possibility, and then counting the five-year contract, it is also a salary cost starting at 200 million euros!
How many clubs in the world do you think can spend more than 400 million euros on a single player?
The more valuable players will actually have less and less room to choose! ”
