'We can see that after Moussa Sissoko came on, Tottenham played a lot on both wings.

'They made the most of the width of the pitch and stretched the York City defence. And in this way, there are more vacancies in Yorktown. ”

'The chance Eriksen had on the edge of the box was the opening up of the other Tottenham players to attract the attention of the defenders!'

Alan Shearer, who was in the commentary room, felt that world-class long-range strike was the best attack of the game so far.

"Yes, Tottenham's individual players are all above York City's players, which makes Tottenham dare to let go of the players on the pitch, while York City have to rely on tenacious ensembles to suppress."

Lineker now feels like the game is starting to get exciting.

From a tactical point of view, it was Scaloni's bucket formation that completely suppressed Tottenham's attacking group in the first half, but in the second half, Pochettino replaced Lamela and replaced Moussa Sissoko, which can be described as a brilliant move.

After the two wings were played, Tottenham also seemed to open up the situation, and the beautiful attacking scenes were one after another.

"Alain, what do you think Scaloni will do next?" Lineker is getting more and more interested in this game.

"I think it's hard. The next 20 minutes will be the best time for Tottenham to establish an advantage, but York City has run out of cards to play. Alan Shearer shook his head, "After all, they are only a League One team, basically playing with a main line-up, which is why they abandoned the League Cup and the English Championship early. Take a look at their bench, it can be said that no one will change the situation! ”

Lineker said: "Is it possible to use a veteran like Joe Partington or Gary Fletcher? They've all played in the Premier League, and although they're getting older, they should still be able to help the team strengthen their defense, right? ”

Alan Shearer thought for a moment and nodded, "It's also possible." But at this point, it's hard to know exactly how he'll adjust. Swap for a striker? There's a lot of pressure defensively right now, and it's really useless to put two strikers in front. ”

"Makes sense." Lineker also nodded, "Increasing the number of midfielders to strengthen the defense, and then only putting one striker in front of you to play counter-attack, it feels like the best strategy for York City at the moment." ”

As the two spoke, the live stream shifted to the Yorktown dugout.

I saw Scaloni turn around and shout, and then immediately a player sitting on the bench ran out to warm up.

A few minutes later, York City made a substitution when the ball was dead.

Joe Partington ran to the field, and then the referee held up a substitution sign, signaling the main center Baker to come off the field and replace Joe Partington, and the two hugged on the sidelines, and then went on and off the field separately.

It was a tactical change and there were some changes to York City's squad.

It was Armand who played up front as a lone striker, with Joe Partington and Declan Rice in front of Xavi Alonso in an inverted triangle of three midfield positions and a 4-5-1 formation.

When Joe Partington came on, his main task was to assist Alphonso Davies on the wing to keep Moussa Sissoko at bay on this side.

In this way, York City's defense has become a little more solid.

Joe Partington and Alphonso Davies combined on the left to control Moussa Sissoko, giving Alonso and Rice more energy to help defend Son Heung-min and Danny Rose on the other side, while Eriksen and Moussa Dembele in the middle were less active after the two flanks were controlled.

As if not quite reassured, Scaloni shouted from the sidelines for Armand to drop back and also help the midfielder to make a tackle.

Armand is not a pure goalscorer per se, his speed and physicality allow him to run through various areas of the pitch, making him a perfect 'pressing striker'.

So now he's also often seen outside the box to help defend.

All 11 people on the field were put into defense, and the front court was completely thrown to Tottenham, but the opponent was helpless.

This also caused several of Tottenham's backline players to move forward to give more support to their team-mates.

At this point, Armand will suddenly step forward, ready to receive passes from the back, especially from Alonso's precise long balls.

Such a strategy also made Tottenham not dare to press with all their might, and the play was a little uncomfortable.

'Scaloni is a really good manager and the tactics were very targeted. Defensively, he barely gave Tottenham any chances, and it was clear that he had studied Tottenham thoroughly. Alan Shearer said admiringly.

After Lineker heard this, he immediately laughed: "Of course, Scaloni must have learned a lot when he played under Pan Yi!" To be honest, I always felt that it was Pan Yi who was standing on the sidelines and commanding now, and many of the routines looked familiar! ”

Alain Shearer laughed too.

This is a typical "Pan Blow" statement, but it seems irrefutable.

After all, Scaloni has said in public more than once that he learned everything from Pan Yi......

——

Tottenham's backfield, especially the central defenders, did not dare to press with all their might, but their trident and midfield were still fierce, and the full-backs' assists were also very sharp.

Coupled with the advantage on the field, Tottenham can still play a good attacking combination.

In the 65th minute, they made a bit of a gap with an attack from the right.

The fast-moving Walker drove the ball along the right touchline, sprinting into the 30-metre area of York City before suddenly diverting a long ball.

The ball sliced across most of the pitch before falling to the edge of the left corner of York City's penalty area.

At this time, this gap was unguarded.

York City's defense also adjusted quickly, and Tomiyasu ran over as soon as possible.

Danny Rose stopped the ball straight to Eriksen behind him without stopping the ball and cut forward quickly.

The Danish midfielder understood and rubbed a kick to pick up the pass, which went directly behind the defensive line.

But the kick was a little too strong, and Danny Rose could only barely pump it after catching up, and the ball hit the side-netting directly.

"This time the attack did not threaten, but the whole attack and defense of Tottenham Hotspur was quite methodical and thoughtful."

"Especially Walker's long pass, when everyone thought he was going to cross to find a high point in the box, he suddenly moved to the weak side, which is really thoughtful."

'The 26-year-old England international has been in fine form for Tottenham over the past few seasons and has been heard to be on the radar of Manchester City, and Guardiola is hoping to bring him to the blue moon at the end of the season.

Soon, Tottenham had another midfield break.

After a tackle, Dembele quickly passed the ball to Eriksen, who in turn played the ball to Son Heung-min and then forwarded to Vicente Jensen.

Vicente Jensen turned sideways to the right when he stopped the ball with his back and immediately passed the ball to Moussa Sissoko on the right, and the substitute French winger dribbled the ball down the York City flank before sending in a low cross.

Unfortunately, the pass was a little too big, no one touched the ball in the middle, and it went straight to the touchline on the other side.

'Tottenham are attacking more and more fiercely now, and the situation in York City is a bit unfavorable.

'Although Scaloni used a back three defensive formation, he was constantly creating attacking opportunities by the Tottenham players, and York City had to be careful.

Vicente Jensen stepped back again and received the ball with his back.

'The three attackers up front of Tottenham are all dropping back a lot, so it can better tear down the York City defence.

"Look at this time, Vicente Jensen stopped the ball and went to the left, and Danny Rose had rushed to the front and waited for Vicente Jensen's pass."

'It wasn't a good time, Vicente Jensen didn't pass, he went forward and after he got the attention of the defence, he passed the ball.

"Danny Rose got the ball in the left corner of the box and crossed into the box to find Vicente Jensen."

"Stop the ball with your back, turn around, and hit the goal!"

"A beautiful offense."

'Vicente Jensen's shot hit De Ligt and the ball bounced off.'

'Still at Tottenham's feet, there's still a chance.'

"Then pass it to Sun Xingmin, this side is a little empty. Go down, cross, or find Vicente Jensen. ”

"Pushed out, Eriksen hit again, volley!"

There was a burst of exclamations throughout the West Siberian stadium, and 20,000 York City fans watched in horror.

Eriksen's volley was very quality, but the height was not suppressed, it was slightly higher.

Although they didn't score, Tottenham did play well in this period, while the home team York City didn't even have a chance to break into the Tottenham penalty area, let alone hit the goal.

Therefore, the York City fans present couldn't help but worry about it.

However, it seems that the coach of York City is not in a hurry, and the owner is not in a hurry.

Scaloni has been sitting in the coach's seat, while Pan Yi is still chatting with Levy calmly, as if the critical situation on the field has nothing to do with him.

On the field, after being bombarded for more than ten minutes, York City gradually stabilized its position.

Tottenham gradually focused on possession and began to push forward slowly.

This is actually normal.

This kind of stormy attack at the beginning of the second half is very physically exhausting for the players.

If Tottenham can't take it as soon as they see it, they will run out of energy early and will be very passive until the end of the game.

Even Mauricio Pochettino's team, known for their youth and ability to run, can't afford to wear it out.

After the opponent slowed down the offensive, York City began to gather heavy forces near the center line.

Three back + two forwards, the Tottenham midfielder who got the ball began to scramble!

When Eriksen tried to cross the ball to Moussa Dembele, Rice stepped forward and grabbed the ball first.

Rice handed the ball to Alonso, who slotted the ball past Kulusevski, who quickly stepped forward on the right side of the front.

Kulusevski, who chested the ball, turned and passed to Armand, who ran over to pick it up.

Armand was still between Tottenham's midfielders and centre-backs, and Vertonghen was the first to get up, but Armand blocked Lange with his body first, and then accelerated to shake him off.

After Tomiyasu got on the side, Armand also distributed the ball to the right and then rushed forward quickly.

Tomiyasu Kenyo dribbled the ball to the right side of Tottenham's penalty area, and when Armand was in place, he crossed directly to find Armand's point.

Of course, now that Baker is not on the pitch, York City's cross strategy has shifted from "high ball" to "low ball", so as to avoid Armand's disadvantage in height and instead play to his advantages in speed and movement.

Armand had just burst into the right side of Tottenham's penalty area, and after stopping the ball sideways with the outside of his instep, he immediately crossed the ball to the feet of Joe Partington near the penalty spot.

At this point, Tottenham's entire defence was pressed into the middle of the box and on the right side.

Joe Partington didn't have a chance to get off his feet, and after keeping out Aldveld with his body, he played the ball back to the left side of the box at the top of the box.

I saw that Lin Liangming had already rushed up!

He was ready for it to wait for Joe Partington's return pass to arrive, and it was straight to the shot.

The ball flew out with great speed and hung straight to the right side of the goal.

Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris initially focused on Joe Partington in the middle, and didn't notice Lin Liangming rushing up from the other side of the back.

And Lin Liangming's shot this time is of extremely high quality!

Not only did he hold the ball down, but he was also very fast and at a very awkward angle, almost grazing the right post and into the net.

“GoaLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"In the 80th minute, Lin Liangming scored for York City! 1：0！！！ ”

"My God, no one would have thought that after Tottenham laid siege to York City for almost the whole game, it would be York City who opened the scoring! A return pass from Joe Partington, Lin Liangming kicked the world wave and scored a crucial goal for York City! ”

"It may be that Tottenham Hotspur attacked too fiercely in front of them, which made their fitness and concentration drop to varying degrees, and there were problems with the defense this time. And this little problem was caught by Yorktown! ”

"Perhaps, York City's passing ability is not as good as Tottenham's, maybe York City's players are really young, maybe York City's players are not as famous as Tottenham's players, but this group of young players in the West Siberian Stadium, the first to score!"

"It's incredible, but that's football!"

"Is this why Scaloni and Pan Yi are still unhurried despite the extreme passivity of the York City scene? They may have been waiting for such an opportunity! ”

"Pan Yi's side may once again create painful memories for Tottenham, although this time it is not Pan Yi himself who is in charge......

——

Pan Yi was sitting in the stands of the West Siberian Stadium, and the moment he saw Lin Liangming's goal, he was also full of surprises, and the whole person couldn't help but stand up and applaud the team's performance.

Putting up a bucket and waiting for Tottenham to slack off before launching a surprise attack was indeed the script he had planned with Scaloni.

But on the pitch is changing so fast, sometimes the script doesn't play out as scheduled.

Therefore, when he saw that York City really played a textbook counterattack, Pan Yi was still very excited.

Defeating the strong with the weak is cool!

It's like if you play an FM game and win against a big team, it's generally uneventful;

But if you take a League One and League Two team and upset Liverpool, Manchester City or something in a game like the FA Cup, you might jump for joy in front of the computer screen.

And Levi, who was sitting next to Pan Yi, touched his bald head, looking very helpless.

In the past, when Pan Yi led Chelsea, Tottenham couldn't beat them;

Now that Pan Yi is only a League One team in his hands, why does Tottenham look like they are still going to lose?

"There's ten minutes left, and we're not going to win." Pan Yi patted Levi's shoulder in celebration and comforted, "It's still too early to say who will win or lose." ”

Levi: "......"

This doesn't sound like anything wrong, but now that Pan Yi says it to him, it always feels like something is not right.

There is no way for your team to take York City after 80 minutes, and now they can score goals when they are behind?

Levi himself does not believe in this logic.

And it seems that in order to make Levy more dead-hearted, York City on the field has changed a little at this time.

Striker Armand's position has been further recycled, and the team's formation has become a 4-6-0, and there are no strikers at all!

All of them gave up the attack completely, put themselves at the front of their own penalty area, and set up the bus in unity!

This time it's a real bus!

When a lot of people think about defense, their first impression is that they are on a bus.

In fact, the bus is the worst way to defend, and no one wants to put the bus unless they are forced to do so.

The reason is very simple, if the bus is placed, it is too passive on the scene, and it is difficult to form an effective counterattack.

York City's defense today is actually the most about resilience and layering.

Through a layered and resilient defensive system, the opponent's attacking threat is kept out of the penalty area, while leaving room for a threatening counter-attack.

But that's what the York City players did 80 minutes ago.

In these last 10 minutes, it's really a pure bus!

Strict discipline and procrastination are to exhaust the time.

Because Scaloni knows that because there are too few people involved in the attack, Tottenham's loopholes like the one just now are actually difficult to replicate, and they can only be caught once.

Once the opponent has a guard, whether it is to defend Tomiyasu Kenyo, Armand or Joe Partington in the back, that attack can be stifled in advance.

Therefore, instead of risking another force in front and being found by Tottenham, it is better to take advantage of a one-goal lead and defend with all your might!

Under this premise, the bus is definitely the first divine array in the past and present, and it will never go out of style.

When you're behind and you're in the dark with a crowd of defences, teams all over the world will be impatient, and Tottenham Hotspur is no exception.

They often pass the ball in front of the penalty area and see that there is no way to penetrate it, so they either try their luck with a random cross or shoot indiscriminately.

But such attempts are often blocked by the long-standing York City players in the box.

And when a York City player gets the ball at the back, it's often a big foot that flies up, or even drives straight out of the touchline.

At this time, the home advantage is reflected again, and the academy players who serve as ball boys in York City are of course all fine, often grinding for half a day before handing over the ball.

Impatient Tottenham players often rush to grab it and throw it away, only to have another big foot waiting for them......

And if York City can get the ball in front, it will be embarrassing, and if you can take the ball directly, you will run to the corner area.

Armand and Lin Liangming would play with the Tottenham players for a long time by the corner flag, and then kick the opponent and make another corner.

In this way, the time is quickly consumed.

When the referee finally blew the final whistle, the 20,000 spectators jumped up!

On today's special day, York City also had a big upset, defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup and breaking into the fifth round!

Even the most optimistic fans of York City before the game would never have imagined that this team would win at the West Siberian Stadium, which is simply unbelievable!

The whole stadium suddenly became a sea of joy.

And after the game, of course, the heat about this game has not decreased.

The Spurs-friendly media were sworn and arrogant before the game, but after the game, they all became mournful.

After the game, they began to divide the pot as soon as possible to see who was responsible for the goal conceded, and coach Pochettino was not spared and was under huge pressure from public opinion.

More of the British media were singing the praises of Yorktown.

They are even looking ahead to York City's miracle in the FA Cup.

After all, now that York City has reached the round of 16, even if it finally reaches the final or even wins the championship, what is impossible?

In other matches in this round, Liverpool lost 1-2 to Wolves and were eliminated, which made York City seem to have one less rival.

Of course, more strong teams still passed.

Chelsea beat Brentford 4-0, Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 and Manchester United 4-0 Wigan Athletic, and they all reached the round of 16.

It's just that how these strong teams play has nothing to do with York City for the time being.

Because this time, York City drew a good draw.

Their opponents will be Wrexham from the National League, the fifth division!
