Volume 1 Chapter 521 Revenge a Year Late
Before you know it, Cavani has been in the Premier League for three seasons.
In the past three seasons, his position in the Tottenham Hotspur team has been an awkward substitute, but this does not mean that the coaching staff has given up on cultivating him, on the contrary, the coaching staff has been helping him.
Of course, he is not special, as the coaching staff tailors the tactical roles and technical details of almost every player in the squad, which is an internal feature of Tottenham Hotspur.
As early as Cavani's arrival in London and the first time he came to the team's training base in Siegwell, Ye Qiu had a very in-depth communication with him, and then the coaching staff observed his technical characteristics through his performance in training, and finally came to a conclusion that it was difficult for Cavani to play like his idol Ruudin van Nistelrooy.
Let's not talk about whether Van Nistelrooy's technical characteristics are in line with the current tactical environment, let's say that Cavani's skills, especially the stopping of the ball, and Van Nistelrooy There is a fairly obvious gap, the Dutch center forward has enough strength to ensure that even if he is the most dense in defense and surrounded by defenders, he will stop the ball steadily and then hit the goal after adjustment.
Cavani obviously doesn't have this kind of stopping skills, because if you look at the current professional football, his stopping can only be regarded as a professional player's average level, but compared to a top center forward like Ruud van Nistelrooy, he is still a lot worse.
This made Cavani feel very disappointed, but Ye Qiu told him that if you want to reach the top level, you don't have to learn from Fanny.
The difference in stopping the ball is not completely impossible to make up for it, just like Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, his stop is not necessarily good, but Ferguson's most clever thing is to put him on the wing.
Cavani has the height of l meter RR, his physical strength is very good, and his heading ability is good, but what is more commendable is that his physical fitness is quite good, and he is willing to fight, so from the beginning, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff positioned Cavani not in the middle, or rather, not fixed in the middle, but in a wide range of movements.
Perhaps it would be more figurative to say that his best tactical role is to be a-stirring stick, completely disrupting and impacting the opponent's defense, and then through a wide range of runs, trying to find opportunities, and shooting with his feet when he has the opportunity.
Therefore, relatively speaking, Cavani's skills at Tottenham Hotspur have been shaped relatively quickly, although he is only 22 years old this year, he has basically taken shape, and in the past three seasons, Moniz and Murenstin have been constantly honing his shooting skills, as well as some simple and practical skills.
Just imagine, even the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has degenerated into a pure centre-forward at Manchester United, can dribble well under the tutelage of Moniz and Muhrenstin, not to mention the young Edinson Cavani, who now looks quite well-rounded.
In fact, Cavani's start speed is not fast, after all, his height is there, but once he rushes up, his speed is very fast, just like this time, when Beckham made a long pass at the back, Cavani rushed up directly, Evra couldn't catch up with him at all, and directly let him calmly catch up with the ball in the right corner of the big penalty area without defense.
Vidic's defence also retreated a little deeper, so this time the reaction was quick enough to go straight to Cavani
The Uruguayan did not stop after catching up with the ball, Vidic felt that it was not easy to get up in this position, and Cavani did not stop the ball, so he thought that Cavani was waiting for Messi in the middle and Ribery on the left to come forward to respond, and he did not get close at the first time, but planned to drag Cavani and wait for his teammates behind him to return to the position to support the defense.
But because Vidic didn't get close for the first time, Cavani saw that neither Ribery nor Messi could reach the penalty area quickly, so he waited until the ball slowed down, and suddenly rushed forward with an arrow step, and directly pulled out his right foot is a powerful volley, without the slightest hesitation.
Cavani's sudden and powerful shot not only startled Vidic, but even Van der Sar, who was standing on the right side, was a little surprised, and made a flying save at the first time, but this shot came quickly and urgently, Van der Sar was old, and his reaction speed was not very fast, and when he reacted and made a move, the ball grazed the tips of his outstretched fingers.
The ball drilled into the back of the net behind Van der Sar in a very straight, slightly arcing line, hitting the left side of the netting on the inside of the goal, and the powerful shot made the United fans behind the goal stand up from their seats one by one.
Not only the Manchester United fans panicked, but even Alex Ferguson rushed out of the dugout with a shocked face, and after seeing the ball score, he shook his head vigorously, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.
There is a saying that a son is wrong and loses all the games, and he regrets it now
After the goal, the Uruguayan striker quickly rushed to the corner flagpole, put his hands behind his head, and grabbed his trademark long hair, but as soon as it was tidied up, his teammates who rushed up immediately messed up his long hair again, and the effort was in vain
The Tottenham players were celebrating at the corner flag, and the Tottenham fans at Old Trafford were also celebrating in the stands, and they now enjoy not only going to watch at home, but also away from home, because they all love the feeling of celebrating in their opponents' homes, which makes them proud and proud.
'Manchester United were obviously not in great shape this game, especially in midfield, and didn't put enough pressure on David Beckham, but that's understandable, they had a tough game against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford three days ago, but at that time the key Tottenham Hotspur players who started the game were not available.
Andy Gray, the HH celebrity who was in charge of commentating on the Champions League game for British fans, was a little surprised by Manchester United's goal conceded, but he was not surprised by the slump of Manchester United's players, because the iron man couldn't resist playing like this in a row.
"The last time Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur at home in the Premier League, many media speculated that this may be a trap deliberately laid by Ye Qiu, that is, to exchange the three points of the Premier League for the advantage of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, at that time there were still many people who thought it was nonsense, but now it seems that it is indeed the case"
"It's hard for us to say whether it's right or wrong, because even if we give up three points, Tottenham Hotspur is still one point ahead, and there is enough advantage, as long as the team performs well, winning the Premier League is not a big problem, but if both fronts fail at the same time, it will be a heavy blow to Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu."
The live camera was given to Cavani, "This is Cavani, a 22-year-old Uruguayan player, who can play in the middle of the front field and on the wing, a very well-rounded player, this powerful volley, is indeed very impressive, especially before the goal, he also has a move to keep an eye on his teammates around him, this is a team player with great potential." ”
With Tottenham Hotspur scoring their first goal of the game, United were completely disrupted by Tottenham Hotspur and they began to fall into disarray as their players now struggled to decide whether to attack or defend.
Tottenham Hotspur undoubtedly took advantage of the team to score first and launched attacks on Manchester United again and again, while Ferguson had to choose to shrink the defense as he watched Tottenham Hotspur's offensive become more and more fierce.
Long before the game was played, everyone knew that Tottenham Hotspur was good at attacking and Manchester United was good at defending.
And when the game is idle or paused, the live broadcast camera will switch to the whole process of scoring just now, Beckham's long pass in the backfield is almost 70 meters away, not to mention the landing point is very good, not to mention, the ball speed slows down after landing, which makes Cavani slow down even if he doesn't stop the ball, which reflects Beckham's long passing skills.
"David Beckham, a former Manchester United superstar, this long pass is indeed very powerful, because in the current football world, there are many players with excellent long passes, such as Carrick in Manchester United, but he can pass as brilliantly as Beckham, almost none, and his long pass to Cavani is indeed exquisite
Andy Gray was full of praise for David Beckham's assist, believing it played a huge role in the goal.
"To give Beckham an easy passing opportunity, Manchester United's midfielder must be responsible, especially when the team's attack is pressing, the midfielder does not keep up, resulting in Cristiano Ronaldo being cut off, Beckham takes the ball and makes an easy long pass."
"In fact, Manchester United's midfield has always been a very much-maligned link, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are old, Carrick is in his playing years, Hargreaves, who performed well last season, has been affected by injuries and other aspects this season, and it has been difficult to play a role anymore, and Anderson is an attacking player who has been transformed into a defender, and the Brazilian is a hard-working and good performer, but he is not always a good defensive player."
"Judging from the whole process just now, Manchester United's midfield problem is quite obvious, and the current football tactical system is actually fighting for the midfield, which Ye Qiu attaches more importance to than Ferguson, so as early as the beginning of the season, many people were worried that Tottenham Hotspur would sell people, and I was not worried at all, because Ye Qiu's midfield hardly moved."
While Andy Gray was analyzing, he saw Tottenham Hotspur get another chance.
David Beckham, Marcelo and David Silva passed to each other in quick succession, with David Silva passing to Cesc Fabregas, who crossed a long diagonal ball over the top to the left side of the United penalty area.
Ribery started quickly, rushing between O'Shea and Ferdinand, the Frenchman started very quickly, although it was a combination of O'Shea and Ferdinand's two players at the same time, but he was small, and he grabbed a good position at the first time, grabbed O'Shea, and stopped Fabregas's pass with his feet.
This is not a simple stop of the ball, but a direct buckle of the ball, and the person also directly came to a sharp brake.
'Beautiful stop' Andy Gray exclaimed, 'Manchester United's left rib is dangerous'
O'Shea's reaction was indeed fast enough, as soon as he saw Ribery stop urgently, he and Ferdinand almost collided together, but O'Shea quickly turned around and pounced on Ribery, but after the emergency stop, Ribery, who originally wanted to cut the ball inside to cooperate with Messi, saw O'Shea react, and it was a hurried stop and pulled the ball to the left.
In the blink of an eye, two quick stops in a tight space changed direction, which fully demonstrated Ribery's individual ability, but also exposed the lack of flexibility of the two defenders, O'Shea and Ferdinand.
After smashing the ball to the left, O'Shea could no longer keep up with Ribery, the Frenchman fired a left-footed volley, and before Ferdinand and O'Shea could react, Van der Sar passed by him, 0
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
"Brilliant shots, brilliant individual performances"
"From Tottenham Hotspur left winger, Frank Ribery from the left side of the box, 0"
"Manchester United's midfield was completely suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur, and United barely had a chance to block it with a succession of passes, and Cesc Fabregas's diagonal pass from the left behind exposed the flaws of Ferdinand and O'Shea's turn, which was definitely a very delicate combination, but more importantly it was Ribery's individual performance"
'Ribery's successive stops and changes of direction between the two big men of O'Shea and Rio Ferdinand showed the French winger's composure and sanity in the box, as well as his brilliant and nimble footwork.
Andy Gray had a high opinion of Ribery's goal, as it was a goal that almost completely demoralized the United players, and it only happened in the 31st minute of the first half, and Tottenham Hotspur still had a good chance to continue scoring, while United were bound to find themselves in a dilemma.
"Ferguson must be very embarrassed now, press out and play, Manchester United's attack may not have an advantage, especially when the midfield is limited, the left side of the attack is frozen, Manchester United's attacking means do not have enough chips to suppress Tottenham Hotspur, on the contrary, if there is another mistake, Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack will be very deadly"
'Diglinski Ziglinski, David Beckham and Thiago Silva all have a strong ability to handle and play the ball, and their long balls are the best in the Premier League's midfield, even in European football, and perhaps only Barcelona have the ability to play long balls at the back.
"From this point of view, if you press it out and play, Manchester United may not have a chance of winning, but if you continue to defend it, don't say whether you can keep it or not, what can you do if you keep it? With two away goals from Tottenham, Tottenham Hotspur will undoubtedly have the initiative and advantage in qualifying, leaving United in a completely passive position. ”
Ferguson clearly chose to go out of his way because United had no choice at all, and unless he wanted to watch Tottenham Hotspur walk away from Old Trafford with a win, he had only one way to go, at least leaving enough turnaround and hope for the second leg
However, the players' fitness is obviously very tired, especially in the final stages of the first half, many players began to show fatigue, and Tottenham Hotspur also had physical problems, but they can continue to persevere.
Forty minutes later, Tottenham continued to use their skilful possession to control the game and keep United in their own half, and everyone had completely lost hope of scoring in the first half, and even their expectation was that United would not concede again.
But in the 43rd minute, Thiago Silva passed to Cesc Fabregas, and the Spaniard found a gap between the two players of Vidic and Evra, and a precise over-the-top pass directly found this gap, while Messi quickly rushed to this gap, crossed Vidic, and formed a single knife after stopping the ball.
The Serbian central defender immediately turned around as soon as possible and desperately chased back, but he still couldn't stop Messi, and when he caught up with Messi, he was already when Messi picked up the Manchester United goal, and at this time, Vidic ushered in Van der Sar's obviously complaining eyes, as if asking him, how are you staring
0
In the first half, Tottenham Hotspur almost dealt Manchester United's deadliest and most painful blow
Ferguson stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face, his expression not looking very friendly, anyone knows how he is feeling at the moment, but as Andy Gray said, it is his choice.
"Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have frankly played a good game each, and in the league game three days ago, Tottenham Hotspur was clearly not in great form, and Manchester United seemed to be very active, and Ferguson's side beat Tottenham Hotspur at their home stadium to reduce the league points to one point."
"But because of this, Manchester United's physical consumption is quite severe, coupled with the long-term two-front battle in the past, it is not difficult to surprise that this game is not in good shape, and Tottenham Hotspur did not give their best in the last game, Ribery, Messi and Cavani did not play, and as a result, this game ushered in an explosion.
"But another thing worth noting is that Tottenham Hotspur's tactical play in this game is a bit British, and the three passes of the three attacks are all medium and long passes, even if it is Fabregas's pass to Messi, the distance is about 20 meters, which is indeed very the style of England's traditional long pass tactics
"From this point, it is not difficult for us to see Ye Qiu's intentions, especially on Beckham, which is to use the front court to suppress Manchester United, win enough opportunities for the backfield, and then use the physical advantage of the front trident to pull and create opportunities."
"The three goals, from the right, left and middle, really reflect the diversity of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, and also reflect Ye Qiu's full arrangement and preparation for this game."
"Falling behind by three goals at half-time, for Manchester United, perhaps the most important thing now is how to rebuild morale, which is also very reminiscent of the Champions League final a year ago, at the Luzhniki Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur trailed Manchester United by three goals in the half, and now, a year later, Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, half time three goals for Manchester United, is revenge a year ago"
Andy Gray's words are obviously joking, but they fully reflect that the world of football is full of all kinds of accidents, and even many things are unbelievable.
Revenge a year late?
I believe that Ye Qiu will think this evaluation is quite good, but more importantly, he wants to defeat Manchester United in one game
