"In this game, Tottenham Hotspur really did a miracle"

The commentator looked at the field, Tottenham Hotspur players launched attacks on Manchester United again and again, and involuntarily sighed, Ferguson even had to make adjustments, replacing the veteran Scholes with the versatile O'Shea at the back, wanting to let O'Shea play defensive back after coming on to further strengthen the team's midfield defense and interception capabilities.

"It was a forced substitution, and Ferguson was ready for a draw in 90 minutes, or even a penalty shoot-out," Mourinho saw through Ferguson's intentions directly.

It's not that he knows Ferguson well, but the intention is so obvious that anyone with a little football knowledge can see that now that the second half is coming to an end, Manchester United chose to bring on O'Shea at this time, clearly asking for a draw.

Cruyff was not without a sigh of admiration: "But regardless of the final result, Tottenham Hotspur were able to push the formidable Manchester United to this point, they have won everything"

"We have every reason to believe that this game will change a lot of managers' understanding of the future tactics, and Tottenham Hotspur are facing a powerful Manchester United, they are more clever, avoid unnecessary physical confrontations, and adopt a more dexterous, faster and more efficient style of play, which I think also brings some new tactical ideas to many Premier League teams, even non-Premier League teams."

Cruyff's words were agreed by the on-site commentators, "Strength and skill, these two issues have always been very controversial in the Premier League, and it has always been a dispute between Manchester United and Arsenal in the past. ”

The on-site commentator's words of not realizing the problem made Mourinho a little embarrassed and did not speak, but Cruyff nodded in agreement, and he felt that Ye Qiu's tactics at Tottenham Hotspur were actually in the same vein as in the past.

"In fact, in the past few years, we have seen Ye Qiu constantly improving on the road of pursuing tactics, whether it is in Ajax or Chelsea, and now in Tottenham Hotspur, his progress has been obvious, and his pursuit is also very clear, that is, the organic combination of skill and strength, but at the same time there is no lack of speed, flexibility and creativity."

"By the way, Mr. Cruyff, I don't know if you have noticed one thing, that is, I have always had a feeling, Ye Qiu always seems to have an idea, he hopes to be able to connect a team's front, midfield and backfield as a whole, regardless of each other, so you see he likes assist-type fullbacks very much, and his frontcourt players are also very disorderly running, and midfielders are actively moving forward, I sometimes even wonder, is this a kind of all-attack and all-defense?"

The game is still going on, and Tottenham Hotspur is still actively organizing the attack, but because there is no threat, the commentator needs to say something else to attract the attention of the fans watching the game.

After hearing the question, Cruyff smiled, "I can only say that Ye Qiu is on the road of pursuing all attacks and defenses, but there is still a long way to go before he can attack and defend all of them. ”

After listening to Mourinho, he immediately retorted, "Actually, I have always felt that all-attack and all-defense is a very idealistic tactical concept, because it is impossible to be reflected in modern football"

Cruyff nodded, "Yes, one of the important reasons why it is difficult to do all the offense and defense in modern professional football is that you can't find so many players who are excellent in their individual strength, but at the same time have a strong sense of teamwork, and can cooperate with the manager's overall tactics, and blend them together. ”

"Also, there are so many modern professional football games, the intensity is so great, and the impact of injuries, player state ups and downs, etc., all lead to the fact that it is almost impossible to implement full offense and full defense, so I admire Ye Qiu's idea, he wants to pursue full offense and defense, but he does not ignore reality, he is equivalent to pursuing a goal that is probably difficult or even impossible to achieve on the basis of reality."

In professional football circles, many people see all-attacking and defending as a utopian football ideal, including Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson and others, but everyone is well aware that one of the huge changes brought about by the emergence of all-attack and all-defense is running without the ball.

The advent of off-ball running will inevitably lead to a complete departure from the modularity of the past, that is, what one player is responsible for, what other players are responsible for, and then through their different responsibilities, they will be integrated into a team, and this situation will be completely broken.

"I discussed this issue with Ye Qiu, and he told me that he had read one of Sacchi's books and highly admired one of Sacchi's predictions, that is, the future of football will move towards position ambiguity, and the future of football will no longer have a fixed position, but will be a tactical era full of integration"

Cruyff was obviously very impressed by the previous exchange with Ye Qiu, "At that time, Ye Qiu gave me an example, he asked me, why does AC Milan need Gattuso? Because they have Kaka."

"By the same token, why do United need Carlos Tevez up front? Because they have Cristiano Ronaldo and Berbatov, Ferguson needs Tevez and it's a balance, you know what I mean? ”

The on-site commentator immediately nodded, and anyone with a little football expertise knew that the first thing to consider in tactics was balance, the balance of attack and defense, so when AC Milan wanted to use Kaka, they had to arrange a player like Gattuso to protect behind Kaka.

In the same way, in the past, Real Madrid played well in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, because of Makelele.

"Ye Qiu has an idea, he feels that if according to Sachi's theory combined with the current situation, football should completely overturn the existing so-called positions and responsibilities, but redistribute, that is, in the overall situation, let the offense and defense effectively integrate into one, that is, the high defense and local counter-robbery that Ye Qiu has been insisting on in the past few years."

"In terms of details, the players do not have a fixed position, they move and change positions completely according to the situation on the field, but when they move and change positions, they can keep the overall tactical framework of the team from being broken, maintain the overall rigor, let the defenders control the ball like a midfielder, let the midfielder participate in the attack like a striker, let the striker actively participate in the defense like a defender, but at the same time, they can maintain high-quality, creative movement and coordination on the court."

When Mourinho heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again, "If there is no Kaka, there is no need for Gattuso, because it is easier to defend Kaka, or to attack Gattuso, but if there are two other players, when Kaka has part of Gattuso's defensive ability, when Gattuso has part of Kaka's offensive ability, it will be very difficult to face such two people to form a midfield again, whether it is offensive or defensive."

"That's the truth," Cruyff nodded, "So, Ye Qiu feels that Sacchi's prophecy is likely to come true, because it can make football completely and truly a holistic sport."

The on-site commentator also understood, "Look at the performance of Tottenham Hotspur in this game now, it is indeed surprising, the front trident Van Persie, Ribery and Messi do not have fixed positions and responsibilities, they are completely changed according to the change of the situation, and when Ye Qiu needs it, the fullback can be used as a fullback, and the back can be used as a defender, and the whole team is like a puzzle piece in his hand, what he wants to put together, he can put it together." ”

"In that case, Tottenham Hotspur are conducting a great tactical experiment"

Cruyff nodded, "It's a great tactical experiment, but it's just the beginning. And that's why Cruyff is so bullish on Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur.

The emergence of this team has completely changed a lot of things, and it has also changed a lot of Cruyff's understanding of football in the past.

Ye Qiu is like a mystery, he has a pair of eyes that are enough to ⊥ the envy and hatred of all the head coaches and scouts in the world, can distinguish countless outstanding talented players for him, and he himself has a very rich and comprehensive knowledge of football, which makes him have a very clear idea of the future of himself and the team.

It can be said that Ferguson won the opening and lost the end of this game, but rather that he did not win from the beginning, because in the process of the game, Ye Qiu fully demonstrated his unscrupulous transformation of Tottenham Hotspur, as well as the adaptability of the players after changing the formation at will on the spot, which are left over from the accumulation of a long time in the past.

As the three commentators spoke, the game was a bit stuffy as United adopted a strategy of shrinking their defence, and after O'Shea came on, they kept their formation tight, shrinking in front of goal and starting to defend intensively.

For Manchester United's tactics, Tottenham Hotspur failed to effectively continue their attack, and Ye Qiu seemed to have made up his mind in the 87th minute, replacing Van Persie, who had performed well but was already cramping, with Uruguayan striker Cavani.

Tottenham Hotspur's tactics emphasize running without the ball, and Van Persie really fought too hard in the second half, he can no longer run in front of him, and the effect is not very obvious if he continues to stay on the pitch.

Ye Qiu's adjustment put Cavani at the front alone, with Arshavin and Messi behind him, using Cavani's excellent running and height to impact and pull Manchester United's defense and create opportunities for the team's attack, and this substitution was also a preparation for extra time.

Edinson Cavani's fitness, and his dedication to the game, will ensure he fills in for Arshavin and Lionel Messi in extra-time, can withstand United's central midfield well, and ensures Tottenham Hotspur's pressing up front, while Cavani's height and physicality are excellent.

In fact, Cavani is really a bit like his idol Ruud van Nistelrooy, both of them are the standard body of a center forward, l meter RR, but the body looks a little thin, and he weighs only a little more than 70 kilograms, but he is full of muscles.

According to Peter Brandt, South American players are generally thinner, that is, they look thin, but their physical confrontation ability is not lost to European strong men at all, and this thinness makes them more flexible and faster, so don't look at Cavani and Carroll are not dominant in height and weight, but against it, it is difficult for Carroll to take advantage of Cavani.

With speed and scoring ability, willing to fight, Cavani is a striker player that Ye Qiu relies on very much, and he was specially placed on the bench in this final, and at the last moment, let him replace Van Persie.

Cavani came on the pitch, he looked very excited, very hard, constantly rushing, as soon as Tottenham Hotspur conceded a goal, he immediately participated in the counter-attack, and once the team was about to attack, he kept running back and forth in the Manchester United penalty area, and he was a tall version of Tevez.

It may be that Edinson Cavani has brought excitement and fresh blood after coming on the pitch, and the two central defenders of Manchester United have been a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Uruguayans, and there has been some chaos, but the United have a lot of experience at the back, and the fitness of the Tottenham Hotspur players has been exhausted, so it is difficult to create a threat again.

It was as if this time, Arshavin suddenly pulled to the left to get the ball, got a pass from Vargas, and burst into the box after passing Gary Neville directly on the left.

This was a breakthrough that occurred in the second minute of extra time, and it made all three commentators feel like they had been beaten with blood, because with the physical exertion, it is difficult to see this kind of personal breakthrough that breaks the situation on the field, and Messi can no longer even run.

'Arshavin burst into the box from the left and faced Rio Ferdinand, who didn't dare to kick down, for fear of a penalty.

"The Russians tried to break through, and in the past, broke through Ferdinand"

The "oops" on-site commentator finally waited for a threatening attack, but after seeing Arshavin burst into the penalty area, he was blocked by Ferdinand, followed by Vidic through precise positioning, grabbed before Arshavin, and stopped the ball at his feet almost effortlessly, while Arshavin was blocked by Ferdinand and stumbled and almost fell.

After Vidic won the ball, he turned around and cleared the ball with a big foot.

"I still don't have the physical strength anymore, so the technical movements are a little deformed, and the tricks are a little too big when I pass people," Cruyff also felt sorry for.

If there are four minutes of stoppage time according to the current situation, it is estimated that the 90 minutes of this game will end in a draw, and the two sides will go into extra time, and it is still unknown who will die by then.

Vidic's clearance returned to the centre circle, Thiago Silva once again got ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the header was bumped back to Beckham, and in the final period of the game, the Brazilian centre-back almost finished the Portuguese superstar.

"Entering extra time, Tottenham Hotspur still has a good chance of winning" The on-site commentator is still more optimistic about Tottenham Hotspur, and after Beckham got the ball, he reorganized an attack again, "Let's take a look at this attack, Beckham took the ball and passed diagonally to the right side in a wide range, and it was Alves again."

I saw Alves quickly plug in from behind, and in the area on the right side of the Manchester United penalty area, directly met Beckham's long pass, jumped high, and the header was ferried to the big penalty area.

After Nemanja Vidic cleared the ball, United's players were spreading out their formations to reorganise their defence, and suddenly, Tottenham Hotspur sent the ball into the box, so it was at this time that the United defenders rushed to the goal quickly, and at this point, the advantage of speed was reflected.

In the penalty area, Cavani used his speed to seize the opportunity, and used his body to block Vidic behind him, while Ferdinand was next to him, and the position of the ball grabbing was already occupied by Cavani, and all he and Vidic could do was to disturb Cavani's direct header.

The Uruguayan didn't seem to be intent on heading himself from the start, so he was not bothered by Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand after his high leap, but instead headed Alves' ferry in the opposite direction of the goal.

Because Vidic and Ferdinand both rushed to Cavani, and Manchester United was preparing to roll out the formation just now, many players did not return to the defense, resulting in two Manchester United central defenders, from the small penalty area line to the penalty spot, there were no defenders, leaving only a lonely, unable to run, standing there panting Messi.

The ball suddenly flew from the direction of the small penalty area, Messi himself was a little surprised, he couldn't even believe that there was such a good thing, and Cavani's header was also very smart, he did not directly give a half-high ball, but for the height of Arshavin and Messi, he gave a landing ball.

Therefore, the ball bounced after touching the ground, and Messi barely thought about it, he used an almost instinctive reaction, took a step forward to catch up with the ball, and directly pumped it after the ball just bounced off the ground.

After this shot, Messi himself had lost his balance and fell to the ground, and he had completely lost his strength.

But when he turned his head sideways and looked at the goal, what he saw was the ball bouncing in the goal line, which made his head directly stunned, he was a little knotted, and he didn't realize for a moment what it meant.

On the contrary, the other Tottenham Hotspur players rushed to the penalty area one by one in ecstasy, rushed to Messi, and directly pressed Messi down in the penalty area, while Manchester United's players were completely stupid one by one.

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands almost frantically rushed out of their seats, screaming with an almost monstrous expression, chanting Messi's name, chanting Tottenham's name, chanting the name of everyone in the team.

Ferguson's ass had just risen from his seat due to nervousness, but when he saw Messi score, his strength seemed to be drained, and he collapsed back into the dugout.

In the last moments, with more than a minute left in the game, Tottenham Hotspur scored a comeback goal

It was a goal that worked a great miracle

It was also a goal that is bound to go down in history
