Chapter 752: Lightning Offensive

'In the Premier League, Manchester United are a ferocious tiger, but that's for other teams, for us Tottenham Hotspur, they're a paper tiger, remember how we beat them 8-0 at Old Trafford?

"Don't think too much, just remember one thing, fight to the death!"

"As long as they dare to resist, we will strive to score, one is not enough for two, two is not enough for three, we just want to score crazy goals, keep scoring, into them are afraid, into them raise their hands in surrender, into them completely collapsed, in the future when we see that we dare not speak loudly, all give me the tail clip, convergence!"

"Go on the pitch and tell them who's the king of the Premier League right now!"

Ye Qiu's words when the players walked out of the locker room, even when the players were scattered on the pitch, standing in their positions, waiting for the two players in the penalty area Cavani and Messi to kick off, were still circling in their minds.

Standing on the left side of the centre circle, twisting his neck, waving his arms, jumping his legs, and moving his body, Hazzard noticed that he was facing Rafael on the right side of the game.

Manchester United's starting line-up for this game is 433 tactics, with De Gea in goal, Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Rafael at the back, Ryan Giggs, Carrick and Paul Scholes in midfield, and Rooney, Karim Benzema and Robin van Persie in front.

After sending Tevez to West Ham United, Manchester United brought in Dutch striker Robin van Persie from Barcelona for a lot of money to form a new attacking trident in the front, and this is the first time Van Persie has encountered his old club Tottenham Hotspur since returning to the Premier League.

Looking sideways into the centre circle, Hazzard was patiently waiting for kick-off, and today's manager was Chris? Fuwa, who was in charge of Manchester United for the second time this season, was interestingly played at Old Trafford, with the last time being a 2-1 win at Newcastle United in favour of the hosts.

Also Chris? Fowa are unbeaten in six games this season, winning four and drawing two, with two of those draws coming in Arsenal's vs Black Cats Sunderland and Norwich's 0-0 draw at home to West Ham United, while home wins include Chelsea, Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion.

So there's a lot of media hype before the game, Chris? Fowa is a friend of the home team, and as long as he officiates the game, the home team is at least unbeaten, but some believe that this is pure coincidence, and it is difficult to say whether United will be able to prevent Tottenham from scoring with Tottenham's strong attacking power.

Chris? Foisa stood in the centre circle, his whistle in his mouth, watching the movement of his watch intently, which was magnified on the big screen at Old Trafford, and with a crisp whistle, Cavani kicked the ball out to Messi, officially sounding the clarion call for this much-anticipated battle.

At the beginning of the game, when Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball back, Manchester United did not start the pressing tactics in the frontcourt, but retreated the overall defense, obviously to give up the frontcourt pressing and let Tottenham Hotspur attack.

Hazard was quick to move forward from the start of the game, but he paid more attention to the left touchline as he noticed that the red shirt was assembled throughout the middle, and it was clear that United were focusing on defending in the middle.

Soon, as Hazzard reached the 30-metre zone of Manchester United, he heard his name being shouted by his team-mates behind him.

The Belgian turned his head and looked up to see that from behind him, Andrea Pirlo had come to him with a diagonal pass over the top, so Hazzard turned around, stopped the ball with his chest, and with a release of his right foot, the ball landed firmly at his feet.

After the ball was stopped, Hazzard continued to move forward, Paul Scholes leaned in and Rafael was standing near the left-hand corner of the penalty area.

Hazzard's eyes swept and he found that Cavani and Messi were already in place, so he directly picked up the speed.

I saw Hazzard dribbling through Scholes's defense zone when he suddenly accelerated sharply, rushed past Scholes, and met Rafael in the left corner of the penalty area, the Brazilian right-back was stuck very well, but he didn't expect Hazzard to pass Scholes's defense zone so quickly.

One-on-one, just a look at it, Hazzard made a gesture to go down, but suddenly a button, the ball was dunked past Rafael, and it turned into an inside cut, and at this time the person had already reached the penalty area, although Scholes appeared on the right side of Hazzard, but he did not dare to easily kick.

That's the trouble with small steps, unless Hazzard makes a mistake with the ball himself, otherwise in a place like the box, defenders will have a lot of headaches to deal with this kind of small step, and there is no effective way to do it.

Moreover, Hazzard handled the details very well this time and did not have any flaws.

Ferdinand was behind Rafael to assist in the defense, and after seeing Hazzard passing Scholes and Rafael in succession, he immediately made a prediction and wanted to jam Hazzard's position in the cut, but what he didn't expect was that the Belgian was not tall, but his body was very flexible, and the sudden change of speed and direction in this narrow range caught him off guard.

Hazzard, who was originally cut inside, suddenly made another emergency stop smash, and it turned into a bottom, and he went straight to the bottom line from in front of Ferdinand, and Ferdinand couldn't react at all at this time.

In the left corner of the penalty area, in a narrow area, Hazard played the three defenders of Manchester United in a series of small steps, and when he went down to the bottom line, it was a one-on-one battle with De Gea.

But Hazzard was not greedy this time, he saw that Vidic and Evra were driven by himself, and Messi at the back of the goal had no one to defend, so he gently picked up his right foot, not a shot, but a cross.

The ball gently crossed De Gea, who bent down and lowered his center of gravity, and fell to the back of the goal, Messi followed from behind, and easily pushed the empty goal, 1:0!

"Wow!!!!!"

"It's been less than a minute into the game, it's only 48 seconds, oh my God, Tottenham Hotspur have scored!!!"

"The goal in the 48th second came from Hazzard's left side after connecting three players on the opponent to form a single knife, but Hazzard selflessly picked up the back point and assisted his teammate Messi to score, 1:0!"

"It's too fast, Tottenham Hotspur's attack is too fast, Manchester United's defense is easily attacked by the opponent, and Ferguson's well-arranged defense is easily broken!"

"In the face of such a swift and sharp attack by Tottenham Hotspur, we can only say, please, please, your target should not be the earth, but the sea of stars, go back to your Mars, Tottenham Cosmos!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed out of the field excitedly, rushed to the corner flag, Messi hugged Hazzard tightly, and the two celebrated the goal together on the sidelines, Hazzard's assist was indeed very selfless, because he had enough good reason to get up on his feet, even if the angle of the shot was not large, but he was selfish as a scorer should be.

But he didn't, he assisted, and that showed a sense of teamwork.

Manchester United was obviously a little stunned in the face of such a start, and Ferguson on the sidelines slapped his forehead hard after seeing Messi score, and he felt that his disciples were still a little unfocused, because he reminded them more than once before the game that Tottenham Hotspur's Hazzard on the left side has been in ridiculously good form recently, and they must be careful.

Although it is indeed scary to be in good shape to give you a stunning performance from the start, his own defenders are not attentive enough, which also gives Hazzard the opportunity and space to perform.

Who would have thought that three people defending one on the left side would be forced into the small penalty area by him, can you say that there is a problem with the defense?

However, the advantage is clearly not on Manchester United's side, and now Ferguson is facing a very difficult choice, how to continue the game? Knocked on the goal less than a minute after the opening, how do you keep playing?

After the Manchester United players on the pitch restarted, they clearly consciously wanted to make up for the hole, launch an attack on Tottenham Hotspur as soon as possible, pull a goal back, and bring the situation between the two sides back to the same running line.

Ferguson doesn't have a good and effective way for a while, and he thinks that at this time, it can't stop the players from getting hot-headed, and it's better to let them suppress the morale and sharpness of Tottenham Hotspur, otherwise how will this game be played?

But what Ferguson didn't expect was that after conceding the goal, Manchester United launched three waves of attacks in a row, and once attacked the 30-meter area of Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to get a chance to score, but in the fourth minute, Rooney got the ball and wanted to find Benzema, but Thiago? Silva poked the ball out early.

The ball went to the right, Kyle? Walker rushed up and directly cleared the siege with a big foot.

Messi pulled to the right touchline, stuck the position in advance, Evra stuck behind him, and the Argentine unloaded the ball steadily, and made a feint to go down, but suddenly smashed the ball and turned half a circle on the spot and cut inside with the ball, when Vidic was about to rush over to help defend Evra, Messi suddenly crossed with a cross.

I saw Cavani rushing up from behind, on the right side of the top of the arc of the big penalty area, facing Messi's cross, stopping with his left foot, and picking up his right foot directly is a thunderous shot, and the ball is like a lightning bolt straight to the goal.

De Gea reacted very quickly this time, flew to make a save, blocked the ball, and he fell heavily on the turf, and when he looked at the ball again, he saw that Ramsey did not know when he had rushed into the penalty area, and on the left side of the penalty spot, he gently pushed the ball saved by De Gea.

The ball stuck to the turf and quickly rolled into the goal line of Manchester United, and Rafael, who was quickly retreating, arrived at this time, so angry that he directly pumped the ball to the net, but he couldn't stop Chris? Fuwa blows the whistle for the goal to be valid, 2:0!

"Three minutes, only three minutes after the last goal, less than four minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur have a two-goal lead, how are United going to play this game?"

The Sky TV commentator was visibly shocked, and even after seeing Tottenham Hotspur score two goals in a row, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this game going to be a repeat of Tottenham's massacre against Manchester United at Old Trafford?" Could it be that Ye Qiu wants to give the old coach a slap in the face of shame this season when Ferguson announced his retirement? ”

I believe that at this moment, not only the commentators have such worries, but all the Red Devils fans in the stands have such worries, and even all the Manchester United players on the pitch are afraid, many of them have experienced that 0:8 game firsthand, they have been subjected to overwhelming humiliation and boos from the media and fans after the game, they all know very well that it is a shame!

One time it was an accident, but if they did it a second time, they didn't know what would happen!

This is the shadow, the thing that makes you feel scared, something that makes you feel frightened, something that you feel afraid of, and if you can't suppress it well, it will eat away at your heart.

Whether it will be a 0-8 recurring, Ferguson doesn't know, because the game has just begun, but he has already conceded two goals, the situation is already extremely unfavorable for him and Manchester United, and he is now thinking not even about winning the game and keeping the draw, but how to make himself lose less badly.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't have any hope of reversing, after all, the game has just begun, but if you want to turn around, you have to wait until you stabilize the situation, and if you continue to let Tottenham Hotspur attack like this, maybe it will be another humiliating scoreline.

Ferguson clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in front of the home team's dugout, everyone only saw him blushing, but no one knew how he was feeling at the moment, except for Pep Guardiola, who sat in the stands behind Ferguson and specially accepted his invitation to come to Old Trafford to watch the game.

When he was in charge of Barcelona and lost 0:9 to Tottenham Hotspur over two legs, Guardiola was in a similar mood in the game to the current Ferguson, unwilling, but there was no way.

Sometimes there is only a limit to what a manager can do, especially when you realize that your players are scared and have lost their fighting spirit, even if you are unwilling in your heart, there is nothing you can do, because you can't go on the pitch to replace the players, and you can't make the players rekindle their fighting spirit in a short period of time and fight the opponent.

Reversal is often called a miracle because it is rare to be found.

The game is almost over, this is Pep Guardiola's analysis of the game, and it was actually their midfield that caused United to lose the game, with the likes of Paul Scholes, Carrick and Ryan Giggs in a midfield that could not stop Tottenham Hotspur's frenzied attack.

After the opening attack, the opponent's lightning attack, Manchester United midfield almost did nothing, which is not difficult to understand, veterans will always be slow to get into the state, they are very slow to heat, AC Milan was the same back then, and Manchester United's group of veterans although they are in good form, very experienced, and relying on the team's off-ball running system, they can play well.

But the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur's wolf-like offensive has left them exhausted and unable to parry.

From this point of view, Russ? Diarra is now Manchester United's irreplaceable midfield defense, and Tevez and Rooney play a very huge supporting role in the frontcourt, but Ferguson let go of Tevez and left Rooney with the highest salary. Diarra and Sneijder seeing off or leaving the cold have made United's midfield uncompetitive.

Modern football tests a team, often by looking at the midfield.

Didn't you see Ye Qiu send Yaya away? Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David? After Silva, Vidal and Andrea Pirlo were brought in, and Tottenham's midfield was immediately resilient, with both a tough attack and a subtle technical twist, and the attacking methods of the whole team became more varied and unguardable.

"Are they really the only ones who can beat Tottenham Hotspur?"

Although many people say that Pirlo's aging will make some changes to Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactics and bring some uncertainty, more people feel that relatively speaking, Ye Qiu's departure may be the most painful blow to this team.

As early as the beginning of the season, there were already media reports that Ye Qiu may announce that he would leave the head coach seat in 2014 and concentrate on the team's management work, after all, for people like him, coaching is just his hobby.

…………

…………

Four minutes, three attacks, two shots, two goals, Tottenham Hotspur's lightning attack was evident in the opening of the game, if it was just fast, it wasn't terrible, what was terrible was that they were fast and efficient.

In the end, Manchester United did not bring much threat to Tottenham Hotspur at their home stadium, although Ferguson's team turned to the defense after conceding two goals in a row, and stabilized the situation, and Tottenham Hotspur also prevented Manchester United's counterattack, so they did not increase their attacking investment, and the first half ended 0:2.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur was Hazzard on the left side and Marcelo hit the wall in a row, after a cross, Cavani's header crossed the back point, and Messi went down again, 3:0!

The game ended 3-0 with Tottenham Hotspur beating the Red Devils again at Old Trafford.

In Chris? The moment the final whistle blew for Fuwa, the more than 70,000 fans at Old Trafford fell silent, perhaps more than 90 minutes of play had worn out the passion in their hearts, and also made it clear to them that Manchester United did not have the quality to challenge Tottenham Hotspur today.

This can be seen clearly in the line-ups of both sides.

But no one can question Ferguson, because without Ferguson's support, with Manchester United's current squad configuration, I am afraid that they will not even be able to win the top four in the Premier League, so they have to accept the reality.

However, as the commentator analyzed after the game, with Ferguson here, dragging this set of remnants, Manchester United can continue to mix in the top four, but Ferguson will retire after this season, what should I do then? Who can take over this mess in Ferguson's hands?

Many Manchester United fans have noticed Pep Guardiola, does the Spaniard's presence at Old Trafford mean?

In fact, after the game, Ferguson specially invited Ye Qiu and Guardiola to his office, saying that it was drinking, in fact, the old fox's abacus was very shrewd.

At the very least, he feels he has the biggest leverage to convince Pep Guardiola.
