Chapter 53: It's Interesting! (2.16 Guarantee2)
Chapter 53 is kind of interesting!
Simon? Grayson couldn't help but smile as he looked at Tottenham's recent report, this team led by Shewood and Leeds United won the League Cup last season, and now it is a year later to compete with his own Manchester United for the title, which is really interesting.
But even more so Simon? Grayson was also amused by Tottenham's change of manager in this winter's transfer window, with Sheawood, who had been in charge of Tottenham for a year, sacked due to poor results, and his successor ...... But it's his predecessor again!
"Madman II" Boas is back, the 37-year-old Portuguese Boas is back in his position after being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur for a year, in the past year, Boas has traveled to every corner of world football, he has exchanged and learned with players and coaches from all over the world, and now he is back.
When Villas-Boas just entered the palace for the second time, Tottenham Hotspur's chairman Levy expressed his support and trust in him, he said that under the re-leadership of Villas, Tottenham Hotspur will usher in a new opportunity for development, and he will continue to trust Villas-Boas, a year ago Villas-Boas resigned just because he was tired and tired, and Villas-Boas hoped to be able to take a year off to recharge, that's all.
Simon? Grayson doesn't know if what Levy said is true or not, but he knows the results of the media analysis, that is, Villas-Boas's departure did have the above reasons, but the main thing is that Levy is purging Villas-Boas and helping the young boss regain control of Tottenham Hotspur's dressing room.
Villas's coaching ability is there, and his ability to understand football tactics is also incomparable to ordinary people, but Boas, who has never played football, does not know how to control his team's dressing room. And this situation cannot be blamed only on Boas, which also has the "credit" of President Levy.
But now, in the past year, Tottenham Hotspur has almost cleaned up their dressing room through reinforcements and purges, so ...... Boas is back.
Villas-Boas has played 12 games since returning to Tottenham Hotspur. The results are very average, 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats, but Tottenham fans are very supportive of him and think that it is acceptable to play such a result when he takes over halfway.
And Tottenham Hotspur met Manchester United at this time, to compete for the League Cup, it is a very favorable situation for the "Red Devils", the team that has been unbeaten this season and has only drawn two games, compared with the team that has just changed the manager, the "Red Devils" must be the favorite team.
Even before the game even began, United were unanimously favoured to win this season's Carabao Cup. The bookmaker even closed the bet on Manchester United to win the title, which also shows how disparity the strength of the two teams is, which is completely ...... No suspense!
In his pre-match press conference, Villas-Boas was no longer as frivolous as he used to be, and the Portuguese, who used to dance and even kneel with excitement when scoring a goal against Manchester United, has matured a lot after a year.
"I know there's a huge gap between us and Manchester United, they've been unbeaten in 42 games in all competitions this season, which is a great record! Of course. If we have the chance in the game, we will try to beat them. But I don't think that chance should be great. ”
Boas, who put himself in a position of weakling, did not let Simon? Grayson underestimates the enemy, and "Brutal Simon" came to Manchester United for something, of course, for all kinds of honors, when there is a chance to lift the trophy, even if it is only in a game like the League Cup. He'll give it his all with his team.
'I know everybody thinks we're going to win comfortably at Wembley, but I've made my players realise that against an opponent like Tottenham Hotspur we can't afford to take any negligence, any mistakes. will lead us to a place of no return. We're going to give it our all until we get the score that makes sure we win. ”
That night, Boas was watching Simon? After the recording of Grayson's interview, he knew...... My team didn't stand a chance.
On 1 March, Wembley Stadium was 100 per cent full with 90,000 spectators, with 30,000 tickets for both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as neutral fans.
The trend of this game was indeed as expected, Manchester United took the initiative from the beginning of the game, and the team's unbeaten record of 42 games in all competitions throughout the season has made the "Red Devils" self-confidence reach unprecedented heights, and they can no longer remember how to fail.
With only five minutes to play, United attacked from the left in a positional battle, with Ganso, Di Maria, Jose? Angel and Shaq, along with a Shaq who came to this side, pulled Tottenham's defence over the side, and Tottenham's right side of the defence was under tremendous pressure.
Seeing this scene, Villas-Boas suddenly remembered that in the game video he saw, Manchester United seemed to have used such an offensive method more than once, pressing on the left side to force the opponent to adjust the formation, and then suddenly passed the ball to the other side of the field to complete the attack.
They used this trick when Manchester United played Barcelona the other day, and it will be ...... And many more times!
This is simply an offensive routine that Manchester United has practiced countless times!
"Watch to the left! Attention! ”
Villas-Boas stood up and yelled, he had explained this attacking routine to his players in detail before the game, and he even came up with some ways to deal with it, but when it came to the actual face to face with Manchester United, Villas-Boas found that his arrangement seemed to be ...... It's not that effective!
Under the pressure of Manchester United's attack on the left, Tottenham Hotspur was completely led by the opponent's nose and moved the center of the defense over......
"Bang!"
Jose? Angel received Shaq's cross again, and then suddenly he got up and crossed!
The ball flew from the air to Tottenham Hotspur in front of the small penalty area on the right side of the 45-degree diagonal line!
At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's defense was actually very perfect, and Argentine left-back Ansaldi was close to the "fat" Rooney. Everyone else has found their own defenses.
But when José? After Angel's cross came out, Ansaldi spotted Rooney, who he was marking in the big box a little to the right in the middle, and suddenly rushed forward with an acceleration, and he didn't run in a straight line in the process, he ran diagonally.
Rooney's movement isn't weird, but it's fast!
When the ball flies over. Rooney also jumped high in the air, and just more than a meter away from the small penalty line, he flicked his head and rubbed the ball into the small box on the right side of Tottenham Hotspur.
"Boom!"
The ball bounced off the ground, then bounced off again and flew into the net from just over half a metre above the right hand of Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez, who had fallen to the ground to save......
“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"The ball is in! It's beautiful! Wayne's header was brilliant! Jose? Angel's cross was also very accurate! It's definitely a reflection of United's attacking prowess, they've done it more than once, and it's one of United's attacking scoring tools, it's not cumbersome, but it's amazing. Have a high success rate! And I'm absolutely convinced, this offensive routine is in Simon? Grayson arranged the drill out, no Shaq, Jose? With Angel's words, Wayne can't be the terminator either. 1:0, Manchester United got off to a perfect start! ”
Manchester United, who are hell-bent on lifting the trophy, will certainly not be satisfied with a perfect start, and they continue to storm on the pitch......
On 24 minutes, Shaq played the ball to Wayne Rooney on the right in the centre circle. "Chubby" dribbled along the flanks and broke into the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area on the right. Seeing that he was already under the focus of the opponent's two defenders and the goalkeeper, he decisively passed the ball sideways to the left.
"Smack!"
Shaq, who followed up in place, just pushed the ball with the arch of his left foot and easily pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the Tottenham goal...... 2:0!
With a two-goal lead, Manchester United is still not satisfied, and continues to destroy Tottenham Hotspur's defense on the field. Villas-Boas's team was completely powerless to fight back.
At the end of the first half, 44 minutes into the first half, United were awarded another free-kick from the right flank, not very far from Tottenham's goal, about 30 metres away. And this is clearly within the range of Shaq.
Shaq looked at the direction of the goal, and then he started to run, this time his running distance was a bit long, he ran seven or eight steps before he reached the ball, and then rounded his right leg and hit the ball hard!
"Tom!"
There was a muffled sound in Wembley Stadium, and the ball flew out from under Shaq's feet, as if it had become a ray of light!
Just for a moment-
The ball flew to the ground in front of the Tottenham Hotspur goal!
Moreover, Shaq's long-range shot also controlled the angle very well and was very tricky, the ball flew into the goal completely by grazing the right post of Tottenham Hotspur, and the Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez gave up the save before his footsteps could move...... I really can't pounce!
“3:0! Shaq scored twice! There is no suspense in this game at all! There is no suspense at all! This season's Carabao Cup is Manchester United's! Congratulations Simon? Grayson, who won his first trophy in charge of Manchester United! ”
The commentator gave the championship trophy to Simon early? Grayson, but that's nothing, because not only is the score gap between the two sides huge, but the difference in strength is also very obvious.
In the second half, Ganso received a pass from Nani on 71 minutes and headed past the gate of his hometown.
Tottenham Hotspur were not shaved either, and on the 79th minute on the counter-attack, their Ukrainian striker Aleksandar Yamolenko rode solo to deceive De Gea with a right-footed feint that hooked the ball back in the box on the right, before slotting a left-footed shot into the far corner.
In the end, Manchester United easily defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at Wembley Stadium. Grayson also lifted his first trophy in charge of Manchester United.
However, everyone is convinced that this is nothing more than the "Red Devils" in Simon? Grayson's leadership was just the first step in rebuilding the dynasty.
