Chapter 304: Oxtail
"At the beginning of the second half, they will definitely stabilize the defense first, so we have to take this opportunity to continue the offensive in the first half and seize the opportunity to give them a fatal blow!"
Jose Mourinho was working with his players on the second half.
"No matter what the result of our attack is, when twenty minutes have passed, when everyone's physical strength has dropped a lot, we can slow down and go back to our previous defensive play, and then Shen Peng and Rashford will take the opportunity to counterattack from both sides!"
At the same time, on the other side, Pochettino is indeed as Mourinho thought, ready to let the players hold for more than ten minutes before speaking.
After attacking in the latter stages of the first half, the United players were in good form and morale was high, so if they were to play against Manchester United, it was likely that they would score more goals for United.
Now the safest way for them is to hold on for the first ten minutes of the second half, and then wait until the strength of the United players has dropped and their momentum has weakened, and then they will attack, which will be much more certain.
So, he replaced Son Xingmin, who performed average in the first half, and replaced Sissoko, who is better at defending than Son Xingmin, so the significance of his move is self-evident.
In the second half, after the players on both sides came on the field, Mourinho also showed a clear look when he saw Pochettino's substitution, so with a big wave of his hand, all the players of Manchester United pressed and started to attack.
However, after adjustments, Tottenham's defense is obviously more organized, even in the face of Manchester United's full pressure, there are no big flaws.
In the fifty-second minute, Shen Peng brought the ball to the bottom line, and when he saw that his teammates' positions were not good, he rushed directly to the penalty area with the ball.
Walker has naturally been defending him, and he doesn't dare to be careless at all in this position, and Shen Peng's two goals against Manchester City are still fresh in many people's minds, and he used almost the same method to shake the opponent's central defender twice.
Shen Peng slowly approached Walker with the ball, Walker stared at the ball, and now he felt that Shen Peng's speed was just a disguise, and when Shen Peng approached him, he would launch a lightning-like pass.
As he expected, Shen Peng moved to the right with the ball with his right foot after getting close to Walker.
At this moment, Walker judged Shen Peng's move, and Shen Peng was about to break through to his left.
This move is different from Shen Peng's turn against Manchester City, with that turn, Shen Peng's right foot will definitely step in front of the ball, knock the ball back with the help of his heel, and then use the backpedal power of his foot to turn.
And now, Shen Peng's right heel is behind the ball, and it is impossible to pull the ball back, so he can only break through to the right.
Walker didn't hesitate to stop the ball with his left foot outstretched.
But then, to his surprise, the ball stopped abruptly as it rolled, and then jumped towards his right!
And Shen Peng's whole person followed!
The ox's tail is outstanding!
Walker reacted instantly, but it was too late, and at this time in the penalty area, he couldn't foul, because Shen Peng hadn't missed a penalty yet!
The movements of the two were fast, and in the eyes of the audience, it was like Walker made way for Shen Peng to let Shen Peng pass.
After flashing past Walker, he faced the opposing goalkeeper Lloris and central defender Alderweireld.
At this time, Tottenham's goal was already very lively, Shen Peng saw so many people, and suddenly his feet moved, and the ball flew to Ibrahimovic!
Vertonghen was quick-eyed, and he was in front of goal, reaching out in front of the ball Ibrahimovic, and if he got the ball, he could kick it straight into midfield.
Ibrahimovic also judged at this moment, according to his current speed, he couldn't grab the ball at all, so he felt a little regretful in his heart that such a good opportunity was missed.
But in the next moment, his eyes widened.
Because he found that the path of the ball ...... Seems to spin a little bit?
Vertonghen stretched out his foot to break the ball, but when he was about to touch it, he found it in the wrong place.
Originally, a player of his strength would not make any mistakes in predicting the position of the ball, and if this kind of thing happened, it means that the ball rotated in the process of flying.
Didn't Shen Peng's ball pass to Ibu? If you follow this rotation direction, Ibrahimovic won't be able to grab it at all!
And it's close, and the ball doesn't arc enough to get around him and get to Rashford on the other side!
Vertonghen analyzed the situation in an instant.
Could this be Shen Peng's mistake?
But when the touch of the ball came from the outstretched heel of his outstretched foot, he reacted immediately!
Not good!
But by this time it was too late, because the scene had already resounded with earth-shattering cheers.
Vertonghen looked back with an ugly look and saw that the ball was rolling out of the goal.
It scored, it was an own goal he scored.
The referee had already run over and pointed to the centre circle to signal that the goal was valid, and United led 3-1.
Lowry also walked over and patted Vertonghen on the shoulder, "Young, don't take it to heart, there will inevitably be mistakes on the football field, this is normal, just pay attention next time." ”
Listening to the words of encouragement from his teammates, Vertonghen couldn't be happy.
He felt...... The ball just now was deliberately done by Shen Peng, but to be able to do this, what a powerful hole rubbing force is needed! So he was more inclined to think that Shen Peng made a mistake and scored an own goal by coincidence, otherwise, Shen Peng would be too terrible.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Peng, who was celebrating with his teammates.
This goal was indeed deliberately done by Shen Peng, at that time his own chance of scoring a goal was very small, Tottenham's defenders were already in place, and it was more difficult to score, so he had a whim to try to see if he could let the opponent score an own goal in the chaotic battle.
However, in this kind of top league, players rarely make those low-level mistakes even when they pile up in front of goal, so he decided to fake a pass and then make the ball arc inward, so that he could bounce into the goal.
The result was really successful, which also gave Shen Peng an inspiration, in the face of dense defense in the penalty area in the future, this may also be a method?
Seeing Shen Peng's goal, many slightly older fans on the sidelines became excited.
"Oh my God, Shen Peng's passing goal just now reminds me of a person!"
"What? You feel this way too, I thought it was my delusion! ”
The two who spoke glanced at each other, and both saw each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.
This person is naturally the Barcelona superstar of the year, Ronaldinho.
