Chapter 165: Return to the League

Tottenham Hotspur are traditionally strong teams in the Premier League, and although there have been ups and downs in the past, there is no doubt that no English team can ignore.

Ferguson played in a half-substitute and half-main line-up, and as soon as the pre-match starting line-up was released, Tottenham boss Redknapp Sr. lashed out with dissatisfaction: "Manchester United are a good and great team, Sir Alex is also a respected and legendary manager, but it is disappointing that today they clearly lacked a shred of respect for us. …… Of course, it's their freedom to do whatever they want, and we'll show our opponents that White Hart Lane is not a pitch that can be easily attacked! ”

Redknapp Sr. had already expressed his displeasure, but it was no surprise that the United players were greeted by the home fans when they stepped onto the pitch at White Hart Lane – to be exact, it was for Van Bizhuang alone, who had just won the Ballon d'Or at the FIFA awards ceremony, a huge honour for the whole of English football, and it was no surprise that the fans cheered and applauded him.

And with the fame and influence of Van Bizhuang's current top superstar, it is not only Manchester United fans who like him, many British fans in addition to their main support team, the most sought after player is Van Bizhuang.

He is handsome and plays the ball well, and he is simply the "popular idol" of the fans!

Many Tottenham fans are also dissatisfied with Manchester United just sending a "remnant" to appear at White Hart Lane, which will inevitably make people feel that Ferguson is despising them, but Van Bizhuang's starting appearance is to make Tottenham fans temporarily forget this unhappy "little thing" - it can really only be regarded as a small thing, the new Mr. Golden Ball has started, isn't this still "important"?

The game was played with half boos and half cheers.

Manchester United are the leaders of the league today, and their quality is unquestionable, and whenever a Manchester United player attacked, the crowd would boo to interfere, with the exception of one person, Van Bizhuang. As the most important core player in the Manchester United team, Van Bizhuang undoubtedly brought great threat to the Tottenham defense in the game, but Tottenham fans were very "tolerant" of Van Bizhuang, not only reluctant to boo the world number one this year, but even applauded and cheered when Fan Bizhuang had a wonderful performance.

It's no wonder that at halftime, Kaka, who also started the game, sighed indignantly, "The same people don't have the same fate, they come here like a war, Fan, he seems to have come to travel to see the scenery." ”

The attitude of the home fans towards themselves was indeed very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that Fan Bizhuang was embarrassed to score - of course, it was not really merciful, but today's goal luck was a little poor, Fan Bizhuang was still positive in the first half, and also created many shooting opportunities, but there was always a slight feeling, and the closest to scoring also hit the post.

It is estimated that God also sees that Tottenham fans are too cute, and he can't bear to let Fan Bizhuang pour a basin of cold water on the hearts of the fans who cheer for him.

In the second half, Van Bizhuang's attitude was still fine, but his luck was very bad, and he even had two shots that went wide of the woodwork.

In the end, Ferguson simply replaced Fan Bizhuang in average state in the 60th minute, anyway, the old coach in this game also decided to rotate, Fan Bizhuang was in average condition, it is better to let him go to the field to rest.

At the end of the game, Fan Bizhuang once again got the applause and encouragement of the fans, which made Fan Bizhuang somewhat embarrassed, his performance in this game was a little unworthy of the Golden Ball, but the fans here still cheered for him, which made Fan Bizhuang a little inexplicable, could it be that he was actually a Tottenham player, as for why he was wearing Manchester United's red jersey...... Am I wearing the wrong one?

……

The final score of the game was 1:1, before Van Bizhuang was substituted, Rooney scored a leading goal for Manchester United, but in the later game time, without Van Bizhuang, the Tottenham players really determined their position, almost non-stop booing the away players, Manchester United was somewhat affected, failed to maintain the lead until the final result, and finally in the 81st minute, by the now popular new Welsh king Gareth. Bale counter-attacked and scored the back of the net.

Despite a draw, Tottenham did not complete the feat of failing at home to Manchester United, who have remained unbeaten this season, but after the game, the Spurs players cheered as if they had beaten Manchester United, and even the fans in attendance celebrated wildly.

It's actually very understandable, who has made Manchester United's performance too strong this season, the task of beating Manchester United is too high, and to be able to draw with Manchester United and delay the Red Devils' victory is actually a different kind of victory.

After the game, Bale exchanged jerseys with Fan Bizhuang, and the former even showed a look of adoration that he was a die-hard fan of Fan Bizhuang. If he had the chance, he would even like to have a sprint match with Van Bizhuang to see who was faster.

Under the tutelage of the old coach Redknapp, the young Welsh players are a crazy overtaking Ferrari on the field, and Van Bizhuang's speed is also recognized as fast in football, so although he admires Van Bizhuang very much, Bale still wants to compete with his idol.

Fan Bizhuang did not take such a "challenge" to heart, and casually agreed to two sentences, saying that he could try it if he had the opportunity.

This was just Fan Bizhuang's "perfunctory" words, but he didn't expect that Bell kept it in mind, and soon after he really went to Carrington to find Fan Bizhuang to "compete", and there was a fast and furious duel...... So much so that Bale later chose to leave Tottenham and transfer to Real Madrid, which meant walking in the footsteps of his idol......

……

It was United's second draw of the season, and since the start of the season, the Reds have only failed to get the full three points in two league games, but they have not lost either. However, although they still maintained their unbeaten league status, after the game, Manchester United once again suffered a lot of doubts and criticism from the media.

There is no shortage of teams in Europe who have gone crazy in the first half of the league but have been up and down in the second half, such as Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim in 08-09, or Leeds United, who were all in the middle of the league before they began to collapse in the second half of the league and lost the league title.

So will Manchester United repeat the mistakes of these "disappointeds" this season?

This is something that many people are curious about and concerned about.

After all, Manchester United's performance at this stage is not bad, but it is definitely not good, and there have been two draws in recent league rounds, does this indicate that Manchester United are starting to lack momentum?

Of course, the doubts of the outside world have not had much impact on Manchester United, after throwing away the burden of consecutive league wins, Ferguson is not very keen on whether the team can continue the crazy winning streak, and it is naturally best to be able to win multiple games, and he can't and doesn't have to care too much. Manchester United's advantage in the league table is now exaggerated, so it's just a draw, and Manchester United can afford to lose it.

Besides, there are no undefeated generals in the world, and Manchester United has not lost, and it is still early before the end of the world!

Therefore, after this round of the league, although Chelsea and Liverpool behind Manchester United have all won, these teams have not shown too much excitement, and Manchester United's sky-high lead has basically lost the mind of competing for the league title - although it says "we will not give up!" "Until the last minute, no one knows who the league title belongs to!" Such remarks, but in fact, they know in their hearts that the only place they can compete for this season is the league runner-up.

There was a lot of criticism from the outside world, but in the next round of the league, Ferguson still chose to rotate the team's lineup. Manchester United, who have experienced the two approaching devilish schedules of Christmas and New Year, and are in a very tired period with all fronts attacking, and now the league advantage is obvious, so it can be put aside for a while, and Ferguson needs to buy more rest and adjustment time for the team, and put the preparations on European competition.

On the 26th, Manchester United played Birmingham City at home.

This season's Birmingham are only in the bottom of the league standings, and they are not even completely out of the relegation zone, but they are such a strong team in the eyes of the "weak team", but they have done something that many Premier League giants have not done.

That was to end the unstoppable Manchester United's winning streak in the league, Manchester United was only one step away from a new streak after tying Serie A giants Inter Milan's seventeen-game winning streak, but no one could have imagined that Birmingham would throw up Manchester United's carnival with a draw at the critical moment of making new history.

Manchester United's seventeenth consecutive league win came to an abrupt end, and Birmingham became the David to stop Goliath!

This game is a "revenge fight", which may be a bit serious to say, but at least the United players are holding their breath in their hearts.

But the process of the game was not too smooth, although Birmingham had a poor record this season, but I don't know if it was given the attribute of "Manchester United nemesis" by God, in the case of the whole game passive, it was through only two counterattacks in the first half, sneak attack, 2:0 ahead of the home team.

was beaten 0:2 at half-time by the revenge target on his own turf, and the Manchester United players and tens of thousands of fans at the scene were extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, at halftime, the Ferguson brand hair dryer was once again powerful, and the spitting stars sprayed the Manchester United players finally sobered up, chasing three goals in a row in the second half, and finally reversed the result with a score of 3:2 and turned defeat into victory.

It was Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Owen who did not start the game, but he came off the bench to put in an excellent performance when he set up Owen to score the goal that turned the score.

After a draw with Tottenham, the Reds won a hard-fought game against Birmingham City to continue leading the league table.
