The announcer at White Hart Lane is using his distinctive voice to pronounce the name of each player who starts.

It is clear that the names of Tottenham Hotspur players are heard with deafening cheers every time, and when the names of Manchester United players are read, the Red Devils are treated with boos and even name-calling.

This is already a commonplace on the road!

Players from both teams in the referee Martin? Atkinson's leadership slowly walked out of the players' tunnel, and after shaking hands, guessing edges and other game conventions, the two sides went to their own half of the court to line up.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur started the main lineup, the goalkeeper was Cech, and the back line was Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago? Silva and Alves, Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal in midfield, and a combination of Franck Franbery, Cavani and Messi in the front three.

Tottenham Hotspur have done a pretty good job of preventing injuries since the establishment of the research centre, with players rarely injured except for some injuries caused by unexpected events in the game, and the club's rotation and precautions have allowed the team to put together a strong squad for some key matches.

Manchester United were also at full play in goal, with David De Gea in goal, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Rafael at the back, a combination of Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes in midfield and Tevez, Karim Benzema and Wayne Rooney up front.

Scholes had already announced his retirement at the end of last season, but halfway through the season, Ferguson had a negative impact on Sneijder and Russ? Diarra's performance was very dissatisfied, and one of them, Russ? Diarra was sent to the cold by Ferguson because of salary and contract renewal issues, and Sneijder was also reduced to a substitute because of his poor form.

In this case, Ferguson re-invited Scholes to return, and after the return, Scholes performed very eye-catching, occupying the main position in the midfield, plus the same veteran Ryan Giggs, Manchester United's entire midfield worked well.

But everyone knows that it is undoubtedly impossible to rely on such a midfield configuration to compete with the ideal combination of Ramsey, Vidal and Pirlo, so before the game, many media expressed pessimism about Ferguson's road trip.

But not to be outdone, in the pre-match press conference, he publicly stated that it will be a very tough game, "This game means a lot for both sides, although Tottenham Hotspur occupy the top spot, but if they lose this game, it will be their first loss in the past year." ”

'I told our players that this is a championship game and we need a win to continue our quest and desire for the title and I'm sure Tottenham will be under pressure as well because they want to win this game as well, but they know very well that it's not going to be an easy game.

And as a famous man of Manchester United, Gary? Neville also said in his column that this derby will have a crucial impact on the future of the Premier League: "This is a contest between two of the strongest and most successful teams in the Premier League in the last few years, and I believe that the whole United should now fight to wash their shame!" ”

The 8-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford was definitely humiliating for the Reds, but it was also an inspiration from another point of view, motivating all the players to fight against the water.

In fact, as soon as the game began, Manchester United had a lot of anti-guest intentions.

Less than two minutes into the game, Carrick stepped in and had a chance to get on the ball from inside the box, but Kompany, who was in position in time, blocked the ball and cleared it, but it clearly didn't stop United.

Ferguson's use of two veterans, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, to partner Carrick in midfield is a very important reason why he thinks that the veterans are more able to motivate the team in terms of mental strength in this game. Diarra or what Park Ji-sung and others can't give.

But Ferguson is also very aware that veterans have the weaknesses and shortcomings of veterans when they play, especially in terms of running.

Therefore, after less than five minutes of attack, he got two shots on goal, but he couldn't hit the back of the net, and then he began to shrink and play, which was also a specially arranged opening tactic for Ferguson before the game.

"The rhythm of a typical Hollywood blockbuster!" Ye Qiu said with a smile on the sidelines.

Hollywood commercial blockbusters basically come out of a model, and the most important thing is that there is a small climax at the beginning of the movie, which directly mobilizes everyone's emotions, and then slowly enters the theme of the movie.

Ferguson's game is actually to play defense, he himself knows very well, playing against the attack, Manchester United is not Tottenham Hotspur's opponent at all, only playing defensive counterattack has a little chance, but he is different from other teams, at the beginning of you give you a fast-paced grab for a few minutes, can score the best, can not score a dozen morale.

"He knows us too well!" Mauro? Tasotti feels that Alex Ferguson is a real rival and, more importantly, his ability to understand football is hard to match in today's football.

"It's just a small measure, Mauro, the most important thing in a football game is to rely on strength to speak!"

Ye Qiu does not deny that sometimes small means can also play a surprising winning effect, for example, if Tottenham Hotspur is accidentally attacked by Manchester United after the opening goal, then the game situation will be completely rewritten, but this probability is very small.

For a head coach, improving the team's strength and optimizing the team's tactics can improve the team's probability of winning.

A great manager can never pin his hopes on a small event.

After five minutes of attacking, Tottenham's defence settled down in an orderly manner, and the team gradually controlled the advantage of the game, from the sixth minute, Tottenham Hotspur began to take the initiative, continuing to put pressure on Manchester United, and Ferguson's side also retreated into the 30-metre area of their side in just three minutes.

Tottenham Hotspur had the advantage, and it could even be said that they pinned Manchester United to the ground, but Ferguson's targeted tactics were still very effective, especially in Tevez and Wayne Rooney's active retreat to the midfield, although sacrificing the team's attacking attack, but improving the defensive hardness of the midfield.

The clock went by quickly, with United barely getting any more shots on goal other than the first five minutes of the game, while Tottenham Hotspur had plenty of chances on goal, but none of them were good chances to score and could hardly threaten United's goal.

Despite this, Pirlo still firmly controlled the tempo on the pitch for Tottenham Hotspur and seized the initiative, making it difficult for Manchester United to have a chance to fight back, let alone play a decent attack.

After joining Tottenham Hotspur this season, Pirlo's performance was very eye-catching, returning to the level of his peak, coupled with the fact that Ramsey and Vidal are both players with good skills and excellent awareness in attack and defense, making Tottenham Hotspur's midfield very resilient, and Pirlo's single back problem has not been exposed.

The only big one was away to Newcastle, but that's it.

With the team dominating and controlling the initiative on the field, even if the midfield ended 0:0, Ye Qiu still did not make adjustments and substitutions, but reminded the players at halftime to increase the passing at the edge of the penalty area.

In the first half, although most of Tottenham Hotspur's shooting opportunities were in the big penalty area, all of them were between the small penalty area and the big penalty area, and it was difficult to break into the small penalty area, and they were basically on both sides, which were not very good shooting opportunities.

This is mainly related to Tevez and Rooney's return defense, they even frequently return to the bottom line, not to mention the front of the big penalty area, which makes Tottenham Hotspur not do enough in this regard, so Ye Qiu asked the players to increase the passing of more at the edge of the penalty area, and pass into the penalty area after pulling out the gap to create a killing opportunity.

As soon as the second half began, Tottenham Hotspur had a chance in the six-yard box.

After receiving Alves' pass on the right side of the arc of the Vidal penalty area, a through ball was sent into the penalty area, Messi wanted to deduct Vidic after receiving the ball on the right side of the small penalty area, but the Serb stuck the position, Messi had to accelerate suddenly, highlight a vacant position and pick up the pass, Cavani in the small penalty area wanted to volley the goal, but the ball was high.

This is also the most threatening shooting opportunity of the game, appearing in the middle of the small penalty area, as long as Cavani can hold the ball, even if he does not choose the angle to hit the middle directly, the possibility of scoring is very high, even if he can't score by himself, he can also create opportunities for Ribery and Messi, because such a shot De Gea will definitely not be able to catch, absolutely get off.

Cavani was also frustrated that he had wasted such an opportunity, waving at his team-mates as he walked back.

Ferguson saw the problem and immediately made targeted adjustments, but he still did not make a substitution, the reason is very simple, Ye Qiu did not change, and he did not change, because he did not want to break such a balance.

For Manchester United, being able to get a point from White Hart Lane is actually a very good result.

As for what to say about winning the championship, Ferguson is not so stupid, if you want to snipe Tottenham Hotspur, you have to look at your own strength, Manchester City and Liverpool may still be a little possible, but Manchester United really does not have such strength at present, unless Tottenham Hotspur himself makes a major mistake, but judging from the game process, Ye Qiu did not make a mistake.

You must know that Ye Qiu's coaching team consists of nearly 30 people, except for a few members of the core coaching staff, everyone else has their own expertise and responsibilities, so it is almost impossible to make Tottenham Hotspur make mistakes when they are well prepared.

This is also a very interesting phenomenon, Ye Qiu and Guardiola can be said to be the most successful managers in the past few years, the former has a coaching team of 29 people, while Guardiola has 24 people, so it can be seen that success has a lot to do with the head coach's assistant team.

"Good phenomenon!" Ye Qiu was not as nervous as Ferguson, and he seemed a little relaxed because Tottenham Hotspur had the advantage.

Mauro? Tasotti also laughed, "From outside the big penalty area, to inside the big penalty area, and now to the small penalty area, step by step, I see that the goal is not far away!" ”

Although this statement is a bit far-fetched, there is some truth to it.

"If I don't make any substitutions now, let the game continue like this, I should be able to score!" Ye Qiu felt this way.

"If you don't change, Ferguson probably won't change either, he's too passive now!" Mauro? Tasotti also felt that he should not take the initiative to make substitutions, which would only disrupt the current advantage and situation, and cheapen Ferguson.

At least, according to the data obtained by Ye Qiu so far, 87. 2% pass completion rate, 57. 5% possession, both of which are Tottenham Hotspur's favorite, and the data that can best play Tottenham Hotspur's characteristics, why make substitutions?

Just Ye Qiu and Mauro? When Tasotti was analyzing, Pirlo suddenly hit the wall with Ramsey from the middle, rushed to the front, and picked up a pass to the right side of the small penalty area, Ribery quickly plugged in, grabbed in front of Ferdinand, stuck the position, stopped the ball with his back to the goal, and then turned and hit the goal directly.

Although the position of this shot was not in the small penalty area, but in the corner of the small penalty area, very close to the goal, and Ribery turned around and got up directly, and the strength of the shot was also very strong, and the angle was very tricky, but De Gea's reaction was also very fast, and he was originally standing on the left, and he flew directly to save the ball from the bottom line.

"A world-class save!" Andy? Gray couldn't help but cheer for De Gea's save, "De Gea, a young goalkeeper from Spain, performed very well to ensure that Manchester United did not concede the goal!" ”

The live TV camera was repeatedly replaying the shooting action and saving process just now, Ribery stopped the ball and turned and volleyed in one go, the action was very skillful and smooth, Ferdinand couldn't even stop it at all, but De Gea's reaction was fast enough and fast, and he flew directly to save the ball, proving that his body was also in a state of nervous alert.

"This is indeed a goalkeeper with a lot of potential, there is no stage fright of a young goalkeeper at all, and he is very strong!"

"Tottenham Hotspur corner!"

Pirlo steadied his hand towards his teammates, motioned for himself to take the penalty, and then slowly walked to the corner, just now a quick sprint forward, making him a little out of breath, in the end, the years are not forgiving, and the age is not young.

Ferguson shouted at his players from the away team's coaching area on the sidelines, "Watch out for their front!" ”

Tottenham Hotspur's ground attack is indeed very good, but that doesn't mean their set-pieces can't do it, on the contrary, in terms of free kicks, Tottenham Hotspur has Pirlo, Beckham, Messi and Ribery are quite good free-kick players, and in terms of corners, Tottenham Hotspur is relatively weak, but the threat is not small.

Andrea Pirlo set up the ball in the corner area and the box turned into a gladiatorial arena, with Tottenham Hotspur players in white shirts and Manchester United players in red shirts tangling with each other while also playing all sorts of covers.

The front point is Thiago? Silva, Nemanja Vidic standing between him and the goal, stalking Thiago? Silva and then Kompany at the back, Rio Ferdinand in front of him, Edinson Cavani in the middle, Tottenham Hotspur's three tall players are still very intimidating in the box.

Pirlo raised his right hand high and made a gesture, and the Manchester United players suddenly felt like they were facing a big enemy, they didn't know what this right hand gesture meant, and there was no time for them to think about and analyze, so they could only stare very nervously.

Ferdinand was afraid of missing Kompany, so he gently pulled Kompany with his hand, turning his head from time to time, but at the same time he had to keep an eye on Cavani in front of him, after all, the Uruguayan's header ability is not weak, and Carrick alone may not be able to keep an eye on him.

Just as Pirlo was running forward, Cavani suddenly retreated from the middle of the goal, so that he became in front of Ferdinand, and everyone knows that after blocking the opponent with his body, as long as the ball lands well, he can basically score.

Therefore, Cavani's action made Ferdinand's instinctive reaction was that Tottenham Hotspur wanted to attack Cavani, so he began to compete with Cavani for position, even if he couldn't get back the best position, but at least he had to interfere with Cavani, and then hope for Carrick.

In the very short time that the ball was played, United's defenders had to rely on instinct to get around, as they couldn't guess how Tottenham wanted to play.

Rio Ferdinand stared at the ball, battling with Cavani for position, ignoring Kompany behind him, and without Ferdinand noticing, Kompany rushed forward from Cavani's side, jumped high in the middle of the goal, and at this time, Pirlo's corner fell on his head.

The bare Kompany did not hesitate at all, and put the ball into the Manchester United goal, De Gea was out of reach this time, and could only watch the ball go into the net, 1:0!

After the goal, all the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed out of the penalty area, rushed out of the pitch, and rushed to the front of the stands, at this time, all the fans in the stands of White Hart Lane Stadium stood up from their seats, some holding up the team's scarves and memorabilia, and cheering loudly.

Ye Qiu, the home team's coach, made a very powerful fist with his right hand after Kompany's goal, which means that the victory is in his hands, and it also represents his confidence in the game.

As it turned out, the situation of the game was as he expected, from the big box to the small box to the goal, Tottenham Hotspur always controlled the situation of the game, and Ferguson's team, from start to finish, had no chance.

With this goal, although there are still 30 minutes left in the game, Ye Qiu is already sure enough to win, because if Manchester United counterattacks, it will be in the arms of Tottenham Hotspur, and if it is defended, the score of 1:0 can also ensure the victory. Behind him, Kompany, without Ferdinand noticing, rushed forward from Cavani's side, leaped high in the middle of the goal, and at that point, Pirlo's corner landed just right over his head.

The bare Kompany did not hesitate at all, and put the ball into the Manchester United goal, De Gea was out of reach this time, and could only watch the ball go into the net, 1:0!

After the goal, all the Tottenham Hotspur players quickly rushed out of the penalty area, rushed out of the pitch, and rushed to the front of the stands, at this time, all the fans in the stands of White Hart Lane Stadium stood up from their seats, some holding up the team's scarves and memorabilia, and cheering loudly.
