Goalkeeper Patten van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Brown in the back, Carrick, Hargreaves, Park Ji-sung in midfield, Tevez on the left, Rooney in the middle, and Cristiano Ronaldo on the right - this lineup can be said to be the most practical set of lineups for Manchester United right now.

The strength of the three-headed monster in the front court is outstanding, in the midfield, Hargreaves has a large coverage and good skills, although Carrick's defensive ability is average, but it can form a protective barrier at the front of the penalty area, Park Ji-sung has enough physical coverage, and at the same time, the running ability is also very good, in the midfield, although these three people cannot form a possession advantage, but they can form a good interception - this season, the first two are basically the iron main force selected by Ferguson, and Park Ji-sung is occasionally rotated with Anderson, The three of them ensured United's defensive strength and counter-attacking speed, and although not the strongest, they were a very suitable midfield for Manchester United.

Moreover, Manchester United's current squad thickness is obviously better than other teams. On their bench, there are Dzeko, Anderson, Fletcher, Giggs, Scholes, O'Shea, and a backup goalkeeper Foster, such a lineup is extremely enviable. Dzeko began to show his super bench strength this season, although he married into a giant club too early, so he did not win the Bundesliga Golden Boot, and his reputation was not so loud, but in terms of level, he is not bad at all. And Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are both veterans of Manchester United, although the current schedule of two games a week makes these two old guys a little unbearable, and more often play as substitutes, but their strong strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, Anderson and Fletcher are both in the best form this season, and now Manchester United can be said to be strong and at the peak of a club.

Even in terms of the team that Ferguson himself has stayed in, except for Manchester United in 99, that is, this Manchester United is the strongest. It can even be said that although 99 Manchester United may have better scenes and more ways to attack than this Manchester United, because 99 Manchester United does not have a big killer like Ronaldo, their power may not be as good as this 09 Manchester United.

The lineup that Ferguson has practiced after ten years of sharpening his sword is still very strong.

In contrast, Tottenham's squad is much less famous. Edinson Cavani and Suarez started up front, Gareth Bale on the left, Di Maria on the right, Gustavo and Yaya Toure in the middle, Kolarov, Palmeri, Thiago Silva and Piszczek in the back, and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who looked much younger and seemed to have a lot of problems. And if you talk about substitutes, the substitutes on Tottenham's side are Darren Bent, Lennon, Kevin Boateng, Jerome Boateng, Hoddlestone, Jenas, and substitute goalkeeper Handanovic. Although Kevin Boateng has also gained a reputation as a super substitute this season, and Darren Bent and Lennon have also been quite efficient in the rotation, they still look a little shabby compared to Manchester United's lineup.

'I think the biggest possibility of the final is Manchester United vs Chelsea. In this regard, Alan Hansen also expressed his opinion early, anyway, the Liverpool he supported has been eliminated, and he has a lot less worries when he speaks, "Chelsea are very strong in the league now, after Tottenham lost to Manchester United, they have been further chased, Tottenham is even very likely to be really surpassed by Chelsea, with such strength, I don't think their opponent West Ham United can stop them." Manchester United's opponent Tottenham is stronger, but Li Bin has not won Ferguson again except for winning 3-0 against Ferguson in Parma. In the Premier League, his record is a complete defeat, I think there may be a reason, Parma and Tottenham are two different teams, and it will be difficult for Tottenham to beat Manchester United now. ”

This is not just his view, but also the opinion shared by many Britons. Manchester United reached the Champions League in 08, but after the defeat, Ferguson shouted loudly to repeat the treble. This season, they are second in the league, biting Liverpool to the end, the Champions League all the way to victory, and they also have reached the final of the League Cup, almost to win the trophy - they are very strong, the British seem to have a real chance of replicating the glory of the treble, they can crush Tottenham.

However, when the game started, people didn't think so.

'We found that Tottenham seemed to make two small changes today. As soon as the game began, Lineker, who was keenly observing the movement of the game, immediately spoke, "Cavani and Suarez have switched positions, and now Suarez is on the left and Cavani is on the right. And Palmeri on the back court seems to be very forward, compared to his usual position, about five meters forward. ”

"It's normal to make fine-tuning in a tournament, right? What's there to wonder about? Alan Hansen wondered.

"Remember how Parma beat Manchester United last time? Rossi and Milito's movement is a top priority. I have learned from the past, and when I see their adjustments, I naturally think that there may be a reason. Lineker said, "However, Ferguson has also made adjustments to the back line after last season, and now Tottenham, does it make sense to play this kind of change again?" ”

And Ferguson asked the question. After watching Tottenham make this fine-tuning, he is also speculating about Li Bin's thoughts. He knew that as soon as the conversation a few days ago passed, Li Bin would definitely go all out in this game. However, is he going all out with such an adjustment? What is the purpose of this adjustment? He really thought that the same trick could still be effective for himself?

Ferguson knew that Li Bin was not so stupid, and he must have other tricks. This also made Ferguson a little interested. Although it is said that Li Bin is regarded as an enemy, Ferguson also knows in his heart that the two are fighting for face, and it is difficult to say what the future will be - but no matter what the future is, now, Ferguson wants to kill Li Bin's sharpness.

Parallel defenders have a big problem, and if a center striker is in front, he can open up space for the other, which is the last time Li Bin played against Ferguson, and let Ferguson suffer. This time, though, Ferguson clearly didn't suffer again. In the past half season, he has also been adjusting the backline, and it has been quite effective, seeing Cavani to the right, he immediately let Vidic follow - Cavani is in good health, but in front of Vidic, it is nothing.

Tottenham launched an attack soon after the game, Di Maria slotted the ball into the box and gave the ball to Cavani in front of the box, who got the ball and immediately rushed forward. Carrick next to him stretched out his foot to block, he failed to form an effective interception, Cavani jumped lightly to avoid him, and rushed straight towards the backfield, but Carrick's attack was not intended to stop him, but just to make him unable to rush, although he passed Carrick, but Vidic made up for it at this time, he was behind Carrick, stretched out his foot, kicked the football, and broke the ball.

It was a beautiful interception, with Carrick hindering Cavani from accelerating with the ball, and Nemanja Vidic then reaching out to intercept it, and the two worked together perfectly. However, the moment he broke the ball, Cavani also stopped and rushed forward to intercept his ball. Vidic dribbled the ball sideways, trying to avoid Cavani's pressing, but Cavani rushed straight up, approached him on Vidic's side, bumped into him, and the two rolled directly together on the edge of the penalty area!

"Danger!" Lineker blurted out.

Suarez was already at this time, ghostly plugged in. He controlled the ball at his feet and sprinted towards the box. However, Van der Sar's attack was more decisive than he thought, and he blocked all the roads in front of Suarez, so that Suarez had to take the ball to the side, and Ferdinand immediately stopped at this time and broke the ball in one fell swoop.

'Tottenham had a good chance from the start, and it seemed that Tottenham's tactics did seem to be a little different......

By this time, Lineker had realised what had changed Tottenham's tactics.

Cavani on the right side is still responsible for suppressing the opponent's backline in the front field and creating opportunities for his teammates, but the difference is that he is on the right side, so that Manchester United must put Vidic, who was originally a right central defender, into the left central defender position when marking him. Nemanja Vidic is right-footed, and every time he gets to the left centre-back, the ball is a little less smooth, and with Cavani's tight counter-attack, this small hole widens up and becomes a fatal problem.

Manchester United play anti-counter-football, and anti-counter-football cannot afford not to pay attention to passing efficiency. Moreover, because the insertion of right-back Brown is not very good, Manchester United's main attack is left-back, Vidic as a central defender's point of play, there is no way to pass the ball out, then it will be a big problem, Tottenham's two center forwards adjust their positions, not to attack, but to defend - to cut off Manchester United's first counter-attacking pass, thus causing problems for Manchester United's counter-attack.

Ferguson immediately understood, and he also praised in his heart: It is not easy to have such an idea, and it is not easy to think about how to deal with the opponent's back line and build the counter-robbery work to the front line. And it's even more difficult to have a big center who is willing to fight Vidic hand-to-hand. As soon as Li Bin did this, Manchester United's proud fast attack was curbed a lot, and half of the opponent's skills were wasted in exchange for a striker, and Li Bin did not lose money.

However, my pass can't go out, and your ball can't go in. Suarez went to the left, Cavani is in the right center position, but he doesn't have as delicate skills as Suarez, he can't cooperate with Di Maria behind him, how can you win? Abolish my attack, even if you have the ability, but if you nullify your own attack, you are looking for trouble yourself.

However, there seem to be two changes in the opponent? Their line seems to be moving forward as a whole? Ferguson remembered something and looked at Palmeri: Could it be that the way they attacked landed on Palmery? But what could it be? Li Bin, this guy doesn't play cards with common sense, adjusts the striker to defense, adjusts the guard to attack, how is his tactics arranged?

Detail adjustment is the most powerful place. Although it is still that group of people, through the adjustment of one or two details, you can increase your strength and make the opponent's level decline, which is the most difficult. Li Bin has this ability, Ferguson knows, but what he will do, Ferguson can hardly guess.

For a while, Ferguson was also a little incomprehensible. He also sighed in his heart: If you dare to say big things, you have to have real skills, Li Bin said that he wanted to challenge him, and it was not untargeted, this tactical arrangement was enough to show the level.

However, the opponent is stronger to make Manchester United stronger - Ferguson looked at Tottenham and was a little happy: Let me see what your tactics are!
