Volume 1 Chapter 474 Same as Ye Qiu

"Gary Neville took the ball, passed to Scholes, and with a long pass, found Cristiano Ronaldo"

"Beautiful, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbles into the box, one against three, dangerous, kicks the goal"

'Cech flew to save the ball, a good save'

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was too straight and it hit Cech"

"Tottenham Hotspur just pulled a goal back, but Manchester United was not to be outdone, immediately changed the color, Cristiano Ronaldo's individual ability is still quite strong, one person in the face of the opponent's three defenders, without fear, just rely on his personal ability to get the opportunity to kick the goal in the penalty area."

When the on-site commentator spoke highly of Cristiano Ronaldo, Cruyff on the side shook his head, "At that time, he alone attracted the defensive attention of three players, but he didn't notice that the two teammates behind him, whether it was Berbatov or Tevez, were obviously better than him, but he chose to hit the goal by himself." ”

Mourinho also felt so, "Shooting by himself is the worst option, because the three defenders have already blocked the angle of the goal, and then he barely got his feet, and Cech blocked the only gap, so we will think that it is Cristiano Ronaldo's shot that is too right, in fact, he only has this option"

"From this point, it can also be seen that Cristiano Ronaldo is a little impatient, I don't know if this is his personal feeling, or Manchester United's collective feeling, if all Manchester United players think so, then the situation is not good" Cruyff also analyzed the psychology of Manchester United.

The on-site commentator smiled and asked: "Is this the pressure that Tottenham Hotspur put on the opponent?" ”

"Of course," Cruyff nodded, "in fact, from the course of a game, we can all see that there is the same pressure on both sides, and this pressure will change with each other's performance, just like we thought that the first half might be a big win, because Manchester United can play more relaxed after 0, while Tottenham Hotspur are crushed by pressure, so it could be a big win."

"But now the tide has turned, with Tottenham Hotspur firmly in control from the start of the second half, and they are constantly torturing the United players with their midfield and backfield, grinding down their sharpness

"I think if you compare a match to a duel, and the ball is the only weapon that can kill each other, then you can try to imagine what it would be like if this weapon that can kill you anytime and anywhere is always in the hands of your opponent. Especially after you accidentally get stabbed by your opponent, will you be afraid? Will there be a hurry? Even, in a hurry to get this weapon back? ”

Mourinho felt that Cruyff's description was appropriate, "Now Ferguson should have realized the problem, Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs are going to play, I wonder who he plans to replace?" ”

"It's a difficult choice to make, Manchester United's lineup for this game is well thought out, just like the frontcourt, Cristiano Ronaldo is the lead scorer and can't move, Tevez has an obvious pressing role in the frontcourt, and he can't move, the only one who can move is Berbatov, but the question is, without Berbatov, how can the team's attack play?"

"And in midfield, Hargreaves' sweep ensures Carrick's safety, Scholes' passing ability ensures the quality of the team's midfield passing, the trio is the most ideal, if you want to change Ryan Giggs, how do you adjust?"

"I think Ferguson shouldn't be in a hurry, after all, Manchester United's lineup has been very mature after a season of running-in, specifically in the players, making big changes in a hurry, this is not a very wise choice, it is more like a choice made after being forced by the opponent to have no choice, just like Ye Qiu changed two people in the middle of the field."

While they were talking, the game did not stop at all, and Tottenham Hotspur still adopted the tactical play after the opening of the second half, controlling the ball in the middle and back, but as soon as they saw an opportunity, they immediately launched a quick attack from the back.

Fabregas found an opportunity, he noticed that Van Persie was between Ferdinand and Vidic, and the gap between the two central defenders was a bit big, so after Fabregas took the ball, he directly rubbed an overhead pass, which landed at the front of Manchester United's penalty area, and Van Persie only needs to rush forward, which is an opportunity.

Ferdinand's reaction is also very fast, his physical fitness is also excellent, he has a lot of experience, he blocked Van Persie with his body for the first time, directly fought with force, suppressed Van Persie, and when the ball came, he directly headed the ball to Hargreaves in front of him, but without waiting for Hargreaves to stop the ball, Arshavin came out from the side and hooked his foot.

The Russian was quick and reflexive, hooking the ball and immediately leading it down the middle, while Van Persie leaned to the left for the first time and pulled Ferdinand straight for Arshavin.

At this time, Ferdinand had no choice, if he didn't follow Van Persie, then Arshavin must have passed into the penalty area, and Van Persie was a single knife when he went in, so he chose to follow Van Persie and let Vidic come to guard Arshavin

However, Vidic had been a bit far away from Ferdinand before, and at this time he reacted and quickly rushed to the left side of the top of the penalty area, standing in a position to block Arshavin.

But what Vidic didn't expect was that Arshavin made a feint to break through from the left side, and after deceiving Vidic to lose his center of gravity, he passed the ball out of his right side, Messi rushed up from the top of the penalty area, grabbed before Carrick, and pushed the ball directly, and the ball drilled into the lower right corner of the goal from goalkeeper Van der Sar's hand, 3

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

The narrator let out an almost suffocating shout, and all the fans in the stadium were silent for two or three seconds, followed by a thunderous cheer.

"Messi Lionel Messi, in the first minute, knocked on Manchester United's goal again, after a very good press in front, broke the ball and counterattacked, a wonderful pass from Russian star Arshavin, Messi scored the second goal for Tottenham Hotspur"

"Oh my God, the situation is turning around, the current score is Tottenham Hotspur re-seeing the hope of equalising, Manchester United played too passively after the opening, this goal was completely caused by Manchester United's own mistakes, especially Hargreaves, who stopped the ball too carelessly and did not take into account Arshavin behind him at all"

I saw that everyone in Tottenham Hotspur, including the staff in the coach's box and the substitute players on the bench, rushed out of the seat one by one when they saw Messi score, rushed to the sidelines, and cheered loudly.

"All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium are chanting Messi's name, there is almost half an hour left, Tottenham Hotspur still has a chance, as long as they score one more goal, they will be able to equalize" The on-site commentators also began to change their words a little, because with the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, who dares to say that there is no chance?

After Messi's goal, he first stood in place and celebrated, and was soon surrounded by a swarm of teammates, but soon, he shook off his teammates, rushed into the Manchester United penalty area, fished the ball from the goal line, and ran back quickly.

"All the desire and fighting spirit of Tottenham Hotspur are very strong, now they are more and more confident and more fighting, and now it is Manchester United who are a little embarrassed"

Mourinho nodded: "Actually, football is like this, all players, including the manager, confidence is based on feedback on the field, so many times we are adapting to the situation, it is difficult to turn the situation around, so those weaker teams are often difficult to beat the stronger teams, because it is difficult for them to create a situation in their favor when they are at a disadvantage." ”

"Manchester United did this very well in the first half, they scored one after another, because they suppressed Tottenham Hotspur in the situation, but the break changed everything, now Ye Qiu has adjusted, the situation has completely changed in the second half, if Ferguson can't block the momentum of Tottenham Hotspur well, Manchester United will be in danger"

As he spoke, United made a substitution immediately after the restart.

"Ferguson is going to replace Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs, I wonder who Lu Dao will replace?" The on-site narrator was talking.

The fourth official on the sidelines immediately held up the electronic card of the jersey number, and saw that the number 9 and 4 were clearly written on it.

"Hey, Ferguson actually replaced No. 9 Berbatov and No. 4 Owen Hargreaves, what's going on?" This time, even the on-site commentators are a little puzzled.

Hargreaves' performance in this game was actually not bad, if it were not for the mistake that just received his teammates who were careless and caused the goal to be conceded, his performance throughout the game was remarkable, he had already done a good job in the first goal, he didn't even make any mistakes, but if it wasn't for his timely positioning, Tottenham Hotspur would have won a corner.

"I don't understand it, I don't know what Ferguson plans to do?"

Mourinho knows Ferguson's character better, "He is competing with Ye Qiu, and he is a bit angry."

When Cruyff heard this, he also laughed, "It's really a bit angry, you Ye Qiu used offense to reverse the situation, then I have to insist on attacking to defeat you, see who can attack whom"

The three commentators all chuckled, apparently a little bit of Ferguson's childish temper

"Actually, the team is an extension of the manager's willpower, and the style of the team often depends on the character of the manager, so we think that Tottenham Hotspur is more slick and always insists on attacking football, while Manchester United is pragmatic, but many times Manchester United performs on the pitch like Ferguson's character.

"Arrogant and unreasonable" Cruyff did not dare to say, Mourinho was not polite.

The three of them had another burst of amusement, Ferguson's personality did have problems in this aspect, even Mourinho himself.

"But sometimes, Ferguson's temper has taken his toll on him," Cruyff laughed.

It's like this substitution, a bit of a gamble, what the effect is, no one knows what the way is.

"We noticed that Tottenham Hotspur also seemed to be adjusting" The field commentator has sharp eyes.

'Yes, they are also making adjustments according to Manchester United's adjustments, with a back four at the back, three players in midfield, Arshavin still playing in midfield, and Robin van Persie and Messi playing as two strikers to form a new trident.

"Ye Qiu seems to be waving at his players, making a detailed arrangement, as if asking the two central defenders to watch out for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Portuguese has now moved to the middle."

There were a series of substitutions on both sides, especially Manchester United, who made two substitutions, while Tottenham Hotspur made changes to the team's formation, with full-backs returning to the back line and Mascherano returning to midfield, with both teams making some adjustments, in the process neither team was able to play effectively.

Although the attack failed to play a threat, it does not mean that the game is dull, after all, with the Tottenham Heat stimulating their own offensive firepower, Manchester United is also a needle-point, not showing weakness to adopt strong attacking tactics, both teams are very open, the pace is fast, the game process is very addictive to the fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

And with Manchester United's Park Ji-sung on the field, Tottenham Hotspur's possession at the back was weakened, and Tottenham Hotspur's possession time was no longer as high as it was at the beginning of the second half, and in the first 25 minutes of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur had as much possession as possible. It was a surprising amount of time on the ball, especially against a strong team like Manchester United.

The drop in possession, but not to the point where it has fallen to the point where it remains around UU%, after all, Tottenham Hotspur should be playing more patiently now, rather than rushing with Manchester United's impatience.

On the other hand, Manchester United, with the arrival of Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-sung replaced Berbatov, and their style was destined to seek speed, especially Evra on the left, who actively stepped forward to form a cooperation with Giggs, and soon created a dangerous situation after the adjustment.

On a counter-attack, Evra dribbled the ball down the left and passed to Giggs, who added a Scholes to immediately attract the attention of Tottenham Hotspur's defenders, but Giggs suddenly crossed diagonally into the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo quickly rushed into the penalty area, saw the momentum of the ball, blocked Thiago Silva with his body, aimed at the incoming ball, stopped, wanted to take the ball down, and turned around to complete a powerful volley directly, which is Cristiano Ronaldo's signature trick.

But Thiago Silva entangled the Portuguese, which directly caused Cristiano Ronaldo to stop the ball too much and lose his control, while Thiago Silva took the opportunity to suddenly step forward, cut the ball directly, and then rushed forward with the ball himself.

But Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unwilling after losing the ball, and quickly caught up from behind, desperately trying to pull Thiago Silva, but failed, so he made a tackle from behind and directly knocked Thiago Silva to the ground.

The foul with obvious malice immediately aroused the anger of the Tottenham Hotspur players, and Mascherano, who was closest to him, immediately rushed forward and yelled at Cristiano Ronaldo, looking like a lion on an angry pampas.

The Manchester United players also rushed to the front of the angry Tottenham players and Cristiano Ronaldo who yelled at the Tottenham players, and the Portuguese clearly felt that there was no problem with his movements, and the problem was the damned group of London players.

'It was a dangerous back-tackle and a very irrational act because if you were sent off at this point, United would be at an absolute disadvantage and it would be a great opportunity for Tottenham'

Cruyff nodded in agreement with the commentator's analysis, "This also has a lot to do with Manchester United's consistent style, Ferguson is a little indulgent to Cristiano Ronaldo's temper, the team's attack almost revolves around him, giving him unlimited power to fire, causing his personal desire to perform a little too much." ”

Referee Michel quickly ran to the scene of the incident, separated the players of the two teams, hesitated again and again, and finally gave Cristiano Ronaldo a yellow card and gave him a stern warning, while also calming the disgruntled group of players at Tottenham Hotspur.

"It's also a referee's art of enforcement, after all, the situation is so intense right now, if you suddenly send off a player from Manchester United, especially the most important scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, it will be very fatal to Manchester United, especially considering that Ferguson has changed twice, so he opted for a yellow card and a warning, hoping to make the Portuguese rein in his temper."

Mourinho thought of another layer, "I now think that most of the pressure has fallen on Manchester United, from 0 to only one more goal conceded, the final result may be rewritten, this is a huge pressure for everyone in Manchester United, so Cristiano Ronaldo's loss of control is not only that he can't control his temper, but also a manifestation of Manchester United's pressure."

"On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur, there is still enough time, they are full of fighting spirit, although the physical consumption is large, but the desire to win is stronger, especially after chasing two goals in a row, this desire has completely overcome the fatigue of the body, and they have also become accustomed to the rhythm of Manchester United, firmly grasp the situation, so they are more confident and more patient"

The situation of the game, the advantages, and even the goals are all accumulated on the pitch, there are no goals for no reason, there is no advantage for no reason, and there will be no pie in the sky all of a sudden, so that you have endless possession, which is all accumulated from you bit by bit, from one detail to another.

Now that Tottenham Hotspur have built up their advantage, everyone is clearly more confident that they will be able to knock on the United goal again when it comes to crunch time.

If they can chase three goals in a row, eventually equalize and drag the game into extra time, with Manchester United's mental state at that time, the best chance of winning is likely to be Tottenham Hotspur

Obviously, Ferguson was aware of this, but he was struggling to figure out what to do, because he found that the situation was a bit more than he expected, and he was a little out of control of the team and the players.

It's like Ye Qiu in the first half
