"Audience friends, audience friends, this is Sky TV Sports, now by Andy? Gray and Richard? Keith is at Old Trafford to explain one of the highlights of the second round of the 2011-2012 Premier League season, with the Red Devils Manchester United hosting the White Lily Tottenham Hotspur! ”

"The Red Devils have always had a very good home record and Old Trafford has been a nightmare for Premier League teams for a long time, but in the last two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur have been very good against Manchester United, they have achieved an overwhelming advantage, and not only that, Tottenham Hotspur have won three consecutive Premier League titles in the last three seasons!"

Andy? When Gray said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "A very good team, and also the strongest team in European football now, is regarded by many as the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season, and if Tottenham Hotspur wins the championship again this season, they will create a fourth consecutive championship in the Premier League that has never been seen in the past 100 years!" ”

Richard? When Keith heard this, he immediately took over, "Yes, Tottenham Hotspur's results are indeed very good, and this team has always been known for attacking football, and has always been the most attacking team in the Premier League, but what is surprising is that Tottenham Hotspur's chairman and head coach Ye Qiu, in the past six months, has sold Yaya in one go?" Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David? Three main midfielders including Silva! ”

"These three players are all top players in the world, and after selling them all in one go, Ye Qiu introduced Pirlo, but the 32-year-old veteran has lost his main position in AC Milan last season, and many people even say that AC Milan without Pirlo won the Serie A championship, and Allegri also said that Pirlo is no longer indispensable."

"The other player is Chilean midfielder Arturo from Bayer Leverkusen? Vidal, if the introduction of Pirlo still makes people understand Ye Qiu's intentions, then the introduction of Vidal is very strange, because this player seems to be very inconsistent with the midfielders of Tottenham Hotspur in the past, who focused on delicate foot skills and creativity. ”

"That's right!" Andy? Gray took over, "And Vidal hasn't appeared on the field since he joined, some people say that he is injured, but judging from the starting list we got before the game, Ye Qiu finally has to take him out in this game." ”

Richard? Keith smiled, "This season is a big gamble for Ye Qiu, if he is not the chairman of the team, even if he is Ferguson and Wenger, and sells the three world-class midfielders in the team in one go, the fans' saliva is enough to drown him, and the board of directors will definitely expel him." ”

"Therefore, this season is very stressful for Ye Qiu, and before this game against Manchester United, he also said in a low-key manner that the team does have a problem, but he did not answer directly what the problem is, and according to my guess, it is still in the midfield!"

At this time, the players of both sides played one after another, and the game squads of both sides were also played on the live TV screen, as well as the starting lineup list, according to the order of home and away first.

Manchester United's starting line-up, goalkeeper David De Gea, Patrice Evra, Evans, Rio Ferdinand and Rafael at the back, and Tevez, Carrick, Russ in midfield? Diarra and Nani, and the front two strikers are Benzema and Wayne Rooney.

Tottenham Hotspur's starting line-up, goalkeeper is Petr Cech, and the backline is Alba, Kompany, Thiago? Silva and Alves, the midfield trio are Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and the front three is still the world's top combination of Franck Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

"Judging from the starting lineup of Tottenham Hotspur, the three midfielders that Ye Qiu relied on this season should be Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and we should all know that although Ramsey performed well last season, it is definitely not the kind that can replace Fabregas and David? Silva's realm! "Andy? Gray analyzed.

"Yes!" Richard? Keith immediately went on to say that the two have been working together for many years, and they have a good understanding of each other, "Ramsey is known as the new Fabregas, but we should note that he has different characteristics from Fabregas, we on Sky TV used to do a special show for Ramsey, his skills are indeed very good, his passing is also very distinctive, long and short passes are no problem, but our scouts speak highly of him for protecting the ball and turning away. ”

Andy? Gray nodded, he was born as a professional player, "Our scouts really have a very high opinion of him, and he is the kind of player who is very good on both the left and right feet, this type of player is very popular, Ye Qiu likes this kind of player very much, you see like Ribery, the ability of the left and right feet is very good, Eden?" Hazard and Neymar are the kind of players who are very good at left and right feet. ”

"Another thing that impressed Ramsey very much is that he is very good at running, I remember he said in an interview with me that he won the pentathlon in Wales at the age of nine and his stamina is very good, and after playing football, his physical quality is very good, which makes him look for opportunities through this kind of non-stop running, non-stop moving, I think this is better than David? Silva and Fabregas are even more outstanding! ”

Richard? "But you also have to see that there is a certain gap between him and the two Spanish midfielders in terms of creativity, penetrating passing, and even personal skill at his feet. ”

'Yes, he's missing a metamorphosis at the moment, he needs to be more confident, especially when he handles the ball, and with his skills, he won't be a weakness in the Premier League or any other big club, and he's pretty good at stopping the ball.

As the two commentators spoke, both sides of the pitch had already finished guessing the edge, with away Tottenham Hotspur taking the lead to kick off, Cavani and Messi appearing around the centre circle service point, and Ribery standing a little further away.

"From this overlook lens now, we can see more clearly that Tottenham Hotspur's lineup in a white jersey is a bit interesting, Ramsey and Vidal are obviously more forward, Pirlo plays a single midfielder, and the back line is still in a shallow saucer position, it seems that Ye Qiu seems to be obsessed with Pirlo playing a single midfield!"

Tottenham Hotspur's defence is in a wavy position, and although the two full-backs are both in the front position, they will not be able to see the wave-like position until the game starts, and the game has not yet started, and at first glance it does look a bit like a shallow saucer position.

Richard? Keith smiled, "In the game against Everton, the effect of Pirlo's single back is not ideal, plus the previous Phil? Jones, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield obviously did not play an effective rhythm and operation mechanism, I wonder if Lu Dao will be better if this game is replaced by Vidal? ”

The main game was scheduled to kick off at 20pm, which can be said to be prime time, which shows how seriously the FA takes this game, and it is predictable that this game will be the most watched game in the whole UK and even all of Europe tonight.

Who wouldn't want to see a strong clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United?

"The referee of the enforcement game is Howard? Webb, our bald referee in England! "Andy? Gray laughs, "Although there have been some controversies about his law enforcement, his ability is unquestionable. ”

With the referee Webber's whistle, I saw Cavani quickly kick the ball to Messi, who directly knocked back a long pass to Thiago, who was at the back of the ball? At Silva's feet, the Brazilian centre-back passed to Kompany, who spotted an opportunity and fired a long ball straight to Franck Ribery on the left.

But this long pass was a bit too big, Rafael retreated to the left side of the penalty area, and after blocking the position with his body, he was forced forward by Ribery non-stop, and finally there was no way, turned around and kicked the ball to Ribery's body, out of the sideline.

"Manchester United's throw-in, in less than eleven seconds, Manchester United regained the ball, Kompany's long pass was a bit rushed, the game has just begun, you should stabilize your rhythm first!"

With a switch of the camera, it was given to the sidelines, first to Ferguson in the coach's seat of the home team, and then to Ye Qiu who was standing in front of the coach's seat of the away team, and a big close-up of the two of them was given, in which Ye Qiu raised his hand towards the field after seeing Kompany's long pass.

"The seventy-year-old veteran Ferguson Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and the five-year-old young marshal Ye Qiu, who seems to be a little dissatisfied with Kompany's long pass, thinks that you shouldn't be in such a hurry, you should stabilize the rhythm first!"

Richard? Keith laughed, "Maybe Kompany doesn't trust his teammates in front of him!" ”

Manchester United sent a throw-in, but Tottenham Hotspur pressed fiercely in front, Ferdinand directly kicked a long pass, and also wanted to find Benzema and Rooney in front, but Thiago? Silva stepped forward steadily, intercepted Ferdinand's long pass with his chest, and took two steps forward.

Tevez pressed it for the first time, Thiago? Silva made a pick pass to find Vidal in front, but Vidal's position was blocked by Carrick, and when he jumped up was not high enough, the ball fell to the feet of Evans behind Carrick, who made a diagonal pass to Russ? Diarra's feet.

Lars? Diarra took the ball and took it forward, but soon, Ramsey rushed from the side and formed a close press against him. Diarra tried to pass an overhead ball to Rooney, but Pirlo headed it over to Alba on the left.

Alba took the ball, quickly took it forward, and before he reached the halfway line, he spotted an opportunity and directly passed the ball to the ground from a long distance.

"Beautiful through passes, Ribery fights with Rafael on the wing, Ferdinand quickly returns to defend and takes the ball down, Ribery is pressing Ferdinand, Tottenham Hotspur is pressing fiercely after the opening, and seems to have the thoughts and intentions to swallow Manchester United in one go!"

United weren't fuel-efficient either, with Rio Ferdinand knocking back at goalkeeper David De Gea, who then passed forward to Michael Carrick.

Soon, the United ball was again in the Tottenham half.

"Tottenham Hotspur didn't play conservatively in this game!" Andy? Gray had a feeling, "This game is going to be good, it depends on who can overwhelm each other!" ”

"Yes!" Richard? Keith was also a little excited, the pace of the game went fast after the opening, but it was only a little more than a minute, but the ball had changed hands several times, and the two sides were not conservative at all, "You see, Tottenham Hotspur's defense line did not shrink in the slightest, directly placed in front of its own 30-meter area, and then through the rapid retreat of the midfield and the front, the formation of a defensive front and back attack!" ”

"This kind of defense has become a label for Tottenham Hotspur, and we must note that this is an away game, and Manchester United at home has no reason to be conservative, but Tottenham Hotspur who is away from home, in the case of losing three world-class midfielders, still dares to press out and play like this, which is indeed something that people have to admire Ye Qiu's courage!"

The two sides fought fiercely after the opening, the key scramble area was in the midfield, Manchester United's attack this time still failed to send into the penalty area, and was cut off by Kompany in the front, after poking the ball away, Russ? Diarra followed with a straight kick, but no one answered.

However, another wave of Tottenham Hotspur's attack once again penetrated Manchester United's 30-meter area, and it was still his left side, looking for Ribery, but Manchester United seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and saw that Tottenham Hotspur would use Ribery to play Rafael, so he strengthened his defense on the right side and took the ball down again.

Passing back to the middle, Ferdinand gave it to Evans, who gave it to Evra on the left, but Evra quickly passed to Carrick, but just as Carrick was dribbling forward, Messi, who had retreated from the front, suddenly stabbed from behind and stabbed the ball to his teammate, Pirlo in the middle.

"Pirlo got the ball, a long pass over the top, beautiful !!"

Andy this time? Gray's whole body exclaimed, even Richard? Keith groaned.

I saw that Carrick was about to dribble the ball forward just now, ready to organize Manchester United's attack, so Manchester United's entire back line was obviously a little lax, after all, now the ball is in his own hands, and Rafael's position is also very high, but who would have thought that Messi suddenly retreated, stole Carrick's ball, and gave Pirlo, and the Italian midfielder directly kicked a long pass over the top.

Ribery was like a lightning bolt at this time, almost without any interference, quickly rushed through Ferdinand's defensive area, while watching the fall of the ball in the sky, while sweeping the young player De Gea who abandoned the goal, he quickly made a judgment, just rushed into the penalty area, jumped high, met the landing point of the ball, and headed the ball.

This top, just to push the ball back back, past the attacking De Gea, fell behind the young Spanish goalkeeper, and after Ribery landed, he rushed forward quickly, grabbed before Evans in the replay, and directly pushed the empty goal with his right foot!

"The ball is in!!!!!!!!!"

Andy? Gray let out a burst of cheers, "In less than two and a half minutes of the opening period, Tottenham Hotspur knocked on Manchester United's goal first, 1:0, from the French left winger, Frank? Ribery's goal! ”

There was a sigh of disappointment, even with a strong boo, from the whole Old Trafford stadium, and they obviously didn't expect the start of this game to be like this, Manchester United were so embarrassed by Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning of their home stadium.

Conceding a goal in less than two minutes is a big blow for Manchester United at home!

"A very beautiful goal!" Andy? Gray was watching the slow-motion replay, "We saw that Messi suddenly returned to the defense and cut off Carrick's ball, Carrick was careless at this time, he didn't notice Messi behind him, and his teammates' reminders were too late, Messi broke the ball to Pirlo, Pirlo will not waste such an opportunity, directly pass the ball over the top, the arc is very good, and the landing point is also very good, this is the veteran Pirlo's best passing!" ”

"Ribery also reacted very quickly on the spot, grabbed the ball before De Gea, headed the ball, and then chased up and pushed the empty goal, this reaction really made De Gea powerless, it can only be said that the individual ability of the Tottenham Hotspur group of players, as well as their on-the-spot reaction, are too fast!"

Richard? Keith saw Ha Lu Ha Da laugh, this goal is enjoyable, "I think that Tottenham Hotspur has hit Ribery many times since the opening, for example, Kompany's direct pass just now, if it weren't for Ferdinand's timely defense, with Ribery's strength, as long as he is given the ball in the front court, it is useless for you to defend him with two or three people." ”

"Yes!" Andy? Gray nodded, "If Cavani and Messi behind him come up again, then the possibility of scoring goals is very high, so Ye Qiu should be conscious of playing this point in this game!" ”

Looking at the field, excitedly rushed out of the field, Ribery and Messi, Cavani and others celebrated outside the field, and when they saw Pirlo rushing up, Ribery opened his arms and hugged the Italian tightly.

Of course, if you want to talk about credit, Messi's sudden return to the defense and breaking the ball is also a great credit!

"1:0, less than three minutes after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Manchester United's goal, which is indeed a big blow to the home team, but Ferguson should stabilize his position as soon as possible, Tottenham Hotspur is playing so fiercely now, Manchester United should organize its own defense first!"

In Andy? As Gray spoke, referee Webber walked to the sideline and shouted for the Tottenham Hotspur players to return to the pitch, and the ball had been placed on the centre circle of the tee-off, and the game was restarted less than three minutes into the game, which was indeed a painful blow to the home team.

Ferguson was also quite helpless from the sidelines, he could only say that Tottenham Hotspur's pressing and attacking after the opening made him and his Manchester United a little unprepared, and Tottenham Hotspur's pressing ability seemed to be stronger and better.

After all, before Fabregas and David? Although Silva also participated in pressing and pressing, he was still a little worse than Ramsey and Vidal, who were more capable of running.
