Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, wave goodbye to 2013, and open your arms to usher in 2014.

It was raining lightly in Manchester on the first of January, and although the temperature was still above zero, the feeling of cold and damp was still unpleasant.

"I said I didn't want to come, you have to pull me here, I really don't know what you think!

That little ghost won two relegation teams, so it's a shame? This is Manchester United, I don't want to travel all the way to see Tottenham being beaten! ”

"Almost, I believe Ben, and I know you were disappointed with Villas-Boas, but now the team is different!

You have to be back on the scene, or there are things that you won't be able to see on TV! ”

The two tugging outside Old Trafford were none other than Tottenham fans who had travelled from London.

It was Thomas and Brightman who founded the Tottenham fan group back then.

However, with the chaos of the Boas period and the pressure of life, Thomas gradually lost the motivation to continue to support Tottenham as he did in the past.

If it weren't for his friend Brightman's stiff tugging today, Thomas wouldn't have come to Manchester with everyone.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to see what kind of magic that Lewis has to make you support him like this."

The visitors' dressing room is a bit rudimentary, but it's the usual thing, there's nothing to complain about, and Tottenham's players are used to it.

"Do you all see what the outside world says about you?

How does it feel like no one thinks you can win the game here and be belittled?

I don't have anything else to say, just one word "dry"! Kill them! ”

"Manchester United!"

said that there was nothing to say, and after the pre-game mobilization, Benjamin still seized the time to make the final instructions.

"You have to be decisive in passing and receiving the ball, you can't drag it out, be careful of Manchester United's attack, if you see Wayne Rooney to death, their attacking threat will be at least half less.

Also, you have to take advantage of set-piece opportunities, remember what I said! ”

Manchester United's home game against Tottenham Hotspur kicked off on New Year's Day in the opening game of 2014.

Premier League whistle Howard Webb officiates this spotlight match.

The atmosphere of more than 70,000 people at Old Trafford is indeed not comparable to the "small stadium" of more than 30,000 people in White Hart Lane.

"It's time to put the expansion of the home stadium on the agenda."

Benjamin was in the middle of it, and he was deeply touched.

It costs money to expand the stadium, as does the construction of Tottenham's medical rehabilitation centre.

It's just that the former wants a lot of money, and the latter can only be regarded as a small amount of money in comparison.

All he can do as a manager is to lead the team to achieve as good results as possible.

As long as the grades are good, the business matters should be left to Levita.

With Webb's whistle, a big battle officially began.

For Manchester United, Wayne Rooney opted to play with an injury, with Valencia, Januzaj and Welbeck all in rotation.

Van Persie, Phil Jones, Fellaini and other players are out due to injury.

On the bench sat stars such as Shinji Kagawa, Little Pea Hernandez and Ashley Young.

Tottenham also made changes, with Lamela confirmed fit to start as a right winger in place of Townsend.

Kane, who scored back-to-back goals, continued to start without surprise.

The rest of the positions are exactly the same as Benjamin's first game in charge, the four-goal win over West Bromwich Albion.

Benjamin was not stingy at all, and a primary status card that cost 20 points to buy was used directly.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing away, had not yet made a strong move, and Manchester United took the lead in attacking.

Lloris was suspected of a double-fist strike from outside the box in one of his strikes, but referee Webber ignored the United player's complaint.

Benjamin couldn't sit still a little and got up and walked to the sidelines.

Lowry, the goalkeeper, is really trustworthy when he is in good shape, and you are stunned by all kinds of gods.

But he is really not stable enough, and often makes inexplicable low-level mistakes from time to time.

And consistency is undoubtedly an indispensable trait for a truly top-class goalkeeper.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no suitable candidate, Benjamin would really want to replace Lori.

If there are no special requirements for results, and they are ready to compete for the top four in the Premier League year after year, then the Frenchman is barely enough.

But if you have ambitions for the championship or the trophy, it is likely to become a time bomb in the backfield.

But even if Alisson is bought, it can't be plug and play, and it still needs a process.

Alas, I can only continue to put up with Lori for the time being.

The home team's attack was very aggressive, and in the third minute, Valencia broke down the right flank and picked up a cross into the box.

Smalling, who played at right-back today, cut in front of the box and fired a powerful shot that was blocked by Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris.

It was a good goal, and Benjamin was on the sidelines and in the stands with the few Tottenham fans in the stands, applauding Lloris.

"If you go on like this, you're going to lose the ball sooner or later! Why didn't you pull me to come so far to watch the game, just to watch this? ”

Thomas folded his arms around his chest and said to Brightman beside him.

Brightman knew that his friend was this character, not to mention that it was only five minutes into the game, and Thomas had already picked a thorn for six minutes, and he didn't bother to reply.

United then came back with Cleverley playing a clever pass to Welbeck, but Lloris was able to keep the ball out in time in the box.

Habey fell into the box after being interfered with by Lloris, and the United players surrounded referee Webber to ask for a penalty.

But the bald referee shook his head firmly.

Carrick tried to cut the ball away from Dembele's feet, but the Tottenham midfielder was pushed aside with his big, powerful hips.

The Englishman watched in amazement as Dembele drove the ball all the way to the edge of his penalty area.

Facing a defender who was pressing over, Dembele distributed the ball to the right in time.

Eriksen, who pulled to the right to get the ball, crossed with his feet.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Harry Kane escaped Evans' marking and jumped high in the middle of the penalty area to head the goal, and the ball flew into the right corner of the goal.

De Gea made a flying save but it was too late and he had to watch the ball go into the net.

Although Kane has scored in two consecutive games since Benjamin's arrival, he is still a young player after all.

Manchester United's "big stars" think they can easily guard against Kane, and they don't take it too seriously.

In addition, Kane's previous goals were all right-footed shots from inside the penalty area, and he did not show much excellent header ability.

Therefore, in the case of Manchester United's backline, the Tottenham striker's high-quality header was easily successful.

"One to zero! The attacking Manchester United returned again and again in vain, but it was Tottenham Hotspur who was away from home who took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!

It's Harry Kane again! The popular student in the Premier League! The 19-year-old England striker has scored in three league games in a row!

Whether on loan at Leicester City or at Tottenham, Kane has had nothing to impress.

Could it be that Tottenham manager Benjamin really has the ability to turn decay into magic? ”
