Some say that Tottenham Hotspur's attack is like flowing water, going around the high places, flowing to the low places, and gathering more and more.

Ferguson made changes to the line-up in the second half, and he was clearly unhappy with the game, so he wanted to further strengthen the team's attack and use the attack to solve the team's defensive weaknesses, which was his choice.

It is important to know that in a football game, every choice made by the head coach has two sides and is risky.

If it is also in this half, I believe that there are quite a few managers who will choose to defend and replace defenders, but Ferguson chooses to strengthen the attack, and there is no way to say which option is better and which is bad.

Berbatov replaced Park Ji-sung, Ferguson still didn't dare to move Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Giggs replaced Anderson, and Ferguson made two consecutive substitutions at halftime, obviously to give it a go.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's attack was a bit fierce, Ye Qiu immediately replaced David Silva with Lucas, pressed Beckham to play central midfield, and re-partnered Cesc Fabregas, while Lucas sat in the back.

Beckham and Fafabregas, the central midfielder combination of Tottenham Hotspur who made a half-season leap two years ago, has now reappeared, making many Tottenham Hotspur fans scream.

Originally, in Ye Qiu's eyes, he left Mascherano and Yaya Toure and sold Lucas, but later as Mascherano left Barcelona, Ye Qiu chose to promote Yaya Toure and Lucas, the Brazilian midfielder has got more opportunities to perform this season, and the defensive strength has been steadily improved.

Beckham, Cesc Fabregas, Lucas, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield in the second half still has a certain physical advantage in front of Manchester United's midfield, especially considering that the team is still leading by three goals.

Ye Qiu kept calling on the players to relax at halftime, but he couldn't be careless, because Manchester United has never lacked classic cases of reversal, and he doesn't want to be a victim of the next Luzhniki miracle.

Defensively solid, Tottenham regained possession.

One thing has been proven to be that when Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo are on the pitch at the same time, Manchester United's attack is indeed quite threatening, but their front-court pressing is also the worst, because except for one Tevez, almost all of them are defended by eyes, coupled with poor fitness and condition, the intensity of pressing in front can be imagined.

In the current football tactical system, if the front court does not put enough pressure on the opponent, the pressure in the middle and back will increase exponentially.

In the 73rd minute, it was again from the midfield, Thiago Silva played a long pass, and Cavani got past Evra in front of the ball and rushed forward.

As early as when Ye Qiu was still coaching Ajax and Chelsea, he once said that full-back attack is a double-edged sword, it must be built on a premise, that is, your team has strong enough control, otherwise, the full-back plugs in the attack, and the defensive holes left behind him will be extremely huge.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the midfield, the reason is very simple, the midfield has always been the source of control of the team, and if the midfield is lost, a team will lose the minimum control.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, he saw Real Madrid in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship, from the Pellegrini period to the Mourinho period, he once thought about a question, that is, what Real Madrid games seem to give people an indescribable feeling, that is, you obviously think that they are star-studded and should be very strong, but they have never shown enough and convincing game performance on the field?

Now he understands because of the midfield

Real Madrid's strength is strong in the frontcourt, and the tactics of Pellegrini's period are to quickly pass through the midfield, put the ball in the hands of the frontcourt players in the shortest time, give full play to the individual ability of the frontcourt players, and play offensive coordination.

Mourinho's claim to be quick to attack and defend densely is actually a contradiction in itself, but how can you do this?

Because it directly misses the midfield, it is either offensive or defensive, and there is a lack of buffer zone

What is so important to Real Madrid?

The reason is simple, his precise long balls are an important core element of attacking quickly and defending densely, and he can ensure that the team does not need to go through the midfield and pass the ball directly to the front.

This kind of tactical play is not to say that it is completely ineffective, because it exists, it proves that it has the reason and value of existence, so Real Madrid can play hearty attacking football when it encounters weaker teams, and once it does not go well, or when it encounters strong opponents, they suffer quite a lot because they lack a midfield.

In Real Madrid's whole set of tactics, whether it is from Pellegrini to Mourinho, almost all of them are heavy at both ends and light in the middle, which is completely deformed in the current football world, for the simple reason that the superstar policy is to ensure the appearance of superstars

The current football tactics are moving towards integration, with the midfield as the center, everything revolves around the midfield, so the striker retreats, the defender presses forward, all of which are moving closer to the midfield, and the reason is very simple, five fingers are clenched into a fist to be powerful, and the dispersion is easy to be broken by each one, and the same is true for football tactics, the formation must be kept compact to be powerful, and loose will be finished.

Manchester United's current tactical formation is actually a bit of a route to Real Madrid, attacking quickly and defending densely, the front court is allowed by Cristiano Ronaldo, Tevez and others to rush and run, and the backfield is based on stable defense, midfielder Carrick is equivalent to Xavi Alonso, but the difference is that Manchester United also has Giggs, Scholes, and Anderson, who has performed well this season, and Hargreaves, who performed very well last season, can cover up this problem to the greatest extent.

But when you're not in good shape, when your players are not fit, when you don't have enough control over the game, all your problems, all your shortcomings will be completely exposed, and nothing will be left behind.

So when Patrice Evra pressed forward and Thiago Silva made a long pass, Cavani took the ball very easily and rushed forward on the right flank.

Vidic posted it for the first time, but Messi was very close to him and cruising behind him, while Ferdinand rushed over as soon as possible, ready to protect Vidic's back and keep an eye on Messi.

Cavani entered the 30-meter area of Manchester United, grabbed Vidic and knocked it forward, Messi quickly plugged in, received the ball behind Vidic, and took a feint to pass Ferdinand, the England central defender had no way, in front of the tall and ghostly Messi, he was a little unable to parry, but it was impossible to watch him pass through his own defensive zone, so he stopped Messi from behind and hugged him down.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, a tactical foul, a red card, a direct free kick

It was almost a controversial decision, and even the United players did not protest, but only put symbolic pressure on the referee because they knew very well that it was Ferdinand's choice.

Positionally, this is Gareth Bale's best penalty area, but the Welsh didn't play in this game, and Beckham stood in front of the penalty spot.

No one knows what the mood of the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford is at this moment, and no one knows whether they will resent Beckham, but the Englishman stood in front of the penalty spot, without the slightest hesitation, swept away all his thoughts, and after hearing the referee's whistle, he quickly rushed forward and picked up his right foot to directly kick the iconic full moon scimitar.

The ball went into the net in response, and it was neat

All Manchester United fans were in disbelief and were visibly stunned by Tottenham's attack.

A big win over Real Madrid, a big win over Sporting Lisbon, and now a four-goal win over Manchester United, what is the concept?

It's absolutely the concept of defending the Champions League

"Ye Qiu is too familiar with Ferguson, and he is too familiar with Manchester United, he played a smoke bomb very firmly from the beginning, using Gareth Bale to confuse Ferguson, making Ferguson think that Ye Qiu was going to use him in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but Ye Qiu used Ribery to start, which was absolutely unexpected by Ferguson"

"Gareth Bale and Ribery are two completely different types of players, the former is a typical English winger, the latter is a continental winger, the former is straight and head-on, the latter is more focused on changing speed and direction, and Ribery is small and has a fine technique, and can still play quite well in a small area."

"Ferguson was fooled, O'Shea, Vidic, Ferdinand, three tall players sat in the backline, but they faced two short players, Ribery and Messi, and Ye Qiu had a very interesting change in this game, that is, he moved Cavani to the right side, and pulled the original main right winger Messi to the middle to get the ball, which is quite terrible"

"In Manchester United's entire defensive system, there is hardly anyone who can stop Messi, and let him carry the ball between the central defender and the midfielder, is that the same as giving Tottenham a knife to his neck? Coupled with Cavani's choking of Evra on the left, Manchester United played very badly throughout the game, as if his hands and feet were tied, it was difficult to play at his most comfortable pace, but he was broken through the defense by Tottenham Hotspur again and again. ”

Andy Gray has seen clearly so far, physical fitness is one thing, but the more important aspect is the tactical changes and adjustments of Tottenham Hotspur in this game, and this is definitely a tactical innovation that does not lose to Luzhniki Miracle in the midfield adjustment, Ye Qiu pulled Messi to the middle, but played a greater tactical role.

"Messi is in the middle, although there are people all around, Messi is very calm with the ball and has hardly conceded the ball, which makes Tottenham Hotspur have a very solid point of possession in the front, and the players around him play more reassuringly and more fluently."

"Today's Tottenham Hotspur really showed the domineering and strength of the championship team, and the confidence and calmness of this team are also impressive, this is indeed a team with a very championship appearance."

With a four-goal lead, it was almost certain that Tottenham Hotspur had reached the final ahead of schedule, and there was no need to play the second leg, as it was almost impossible for United to make a four-goal comeback at Tottenham Hotspur's stadium.

With the referee's whistle, this pre-match focus battle attracted the attention of the world, but at the end of the game, it was presented to the world with a score that almost no one could imagine, and even the bookmaker could not imagine.

With a four-goal win away to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur showed their attacking prowess and made everyone realise that the team is conquering one formidable opponent after another and is on their way to defending their title.

Ferguson did not walk back to the coach's box throughout the second half, he always stood in the command area, after the whistle blew at the end of the game, he obviously had enough psychological preparation for the result, so he looked a little calm, walked to the command area of the head coach of the visiting team, and stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu.

"It's not very reluctant, but I have to congratulate you" If the expression is calm, then the tone is very sour.

It's sour, just like the unripe bayberry, which makes people's teeth fall out.

"Xie Lu, thank you," Ye Qiu shook hands with him with a smile.

After a pause, he quickly smiled and said, "You'll be saying congratulations to me again soon."

Ferguson is also a smart person, he is used to fighting with Ye Qiu, and he immediately guessed what Ye Qiu meant, he was talking about the league championship.

"Not necessarily," Ferguson smiled.

With four rounds left in the Premier League, Manchester United's schedule is to play Middlesbrough away, Manchester City at home, Arsenal at home and Hull City away, while Tottenham Hotspur's schedule is not easy, with West Bromwich Albion at home, Everton away, Manchester City at home, and Liverpool away, all of which are difficult opponents

If you look at the fixtures, Manchester United is indeed much more advantageous, because Manchester United's only two strong opponents are Manchester City and Arsenal, but both are playing at home, and Ferguson can now fully devote himself to the league.

But Tottenham Hotspur is different, because the last round of the Premier League this season will be on the afternoon of May 24, and the Champions League final will be on the evening of May 27, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be disturbed, and the opponent in the last round is Liverpool, Benitez has always been the object of Ye Qiu's biggest headache.

Ferguson is not stupid, the reason why he tried his best to fight for the 34th round of the league and shorten the points to one point is because he bet that Tottenham Hotspur will lose points again in the last part of the schedule, but he really didn't expect that Ye Qiu really dared to fight and went all out to compete for the Champions League.

But I still have to say that purely from the cards, Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League final whether it meets Barcelona or Chelsea, the odds are very good, but if it is affected by the league, it is really unclear.

"Sometimes, people are too greedy, it's not a good thing" Ferguson hit Ye Qiu with a smile.

Ye Qiu was slugging, "But I've always looked down on the kind of people who don't pursue, it's like" Ye Qiu's hand was pointing everywhere, but it was always pointing around Ferguson, and the answer was self-evident.

Ferguson smiled, "I have no pursuit, you will know this summer, next season, I will definitely let you see a new and different Manchester United, I want to win another Champions League"

When he said this last sentence, Ferguson showed an extremely strong desire, and he even said when communicating with Ye Qiu in private that as long as he won another Champions League, he could retire with peace of mind.

In fact, if it weren't for Tottenham Hotspur last season, who intercepted Ferguson in the Champions League final, and last season's Manchester United's strength, swept other giants in the Europa League and won the Champions League, there would be almost no suspense.

But it is precisely because of the emergence of Tottenham Hotspur that Ferguson has further seen the weaknesses and shortcomings of the current team, and he has also thought of ways to restructure the team's offensive and defensive system, so this time he is very confident that he must strive to be strong in the Champions League next season.

The reason is simple, Rio Ferdinand will be 31 years old next season, Vidic will be 28, how long this pair of centre-backs can maintain their peak form, Ferguson himself has no bottom in his heart, and once these two players go downhill, Manchester United is bound to usher in a new round of turmoil and unrest.

There was Stamm during the team's treble victory, but after Stam left, Manchester United's central defenders have never been stable, and it was hard to run in Ferdinand and Vidic's central defender combination, Ferguson naturally hopes to be able to win more team glory while maintaining the top strength of this central defender combination

He even did not hesitate to sell the team's number one superstar again, because only in this way can Manchester United have a chance to be reborn

"This old guy is really old-hearted, and his fighting spirit is still very strong" Roland has a good relationship with Ferguson, and there is no taboo in speaking, but he doesn't dare to talk about people behind his back until Ferguson is gone, even if Ferguson is there, he dares to say it.

Of course, this is not a bad word either

'Cristiano Ronaldo's move has been decided, but Ferguson seems to have made a big move and I always felt that he shouldn't keep Berbatov. Ye Qiu said.

Ferguson is particularly interested in Dimitar Berbatov, mainly because the Bulgarian striker has the ball up front and turns in order to bring out the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo has been very strong over the past three seasons has proved that Ferguson's strategy has been successful.

It's just that Berbatov has fallen out of favor this season because he is so lazy up front that Ferguson can't tolerate him

"I heard that Ferguson has reached an agreement with Lyon to bring in French talented striker Benzema," Roland said.

Benzema's player Ye Qiu has also paid attention to it, and De Weiser has also recommended it, but Lyon is a well-known black shop, as the shopkeeper of another black shop, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu does not like to be hacked, so he is not sensitive to Benzema.

And Ye Qiu has always had a feeling that Benzema is undoubtedly a genius, and it can even be said that in addition to speed and explosiveness, he really has the shadow of Ronaldo, but Ye Qiu doesn't like Benzema very much, because he is too expensive.

However, Ye Qiu didn't know what to do, and after Ferguson finished this game, he directly asked David Gill to finalize several transfers, many of which surprised Ye Qiu.
