Chapter 17: Two Goals at Half Time
Benjamin wanted to make an enthusiastic kneeling on the sidelines, but gave up on this plan given up on his elegant upper-class image.
Even if you get your custom handmade suit dirty, it's not good.
So in the broadcast screen of the game, after Tottenham scored a goal, the young and handsome manager just smiled indifferently.
In an instant, Benjamin's charismatic image spread across the globe with digital signals.
"Even though I'm a Manchester United fan, I have to admit that the opponent's manager is really handsome!"
"Oh my God! I want all the information about this man! Now right now! ”
"Mom! I think I'm probably in love! ”
Don't think that the football circle doesn't look at faces, the same excellent player, the handsome one will naturally have a higher commercial value.
Tottenham's previous manager, Villas-Boas, also attracted a large number of fans because of his good looks.
That's right, neither fans of the team nor fans of the stars, they are fans of a manager.
And it's not because of the manager's ability and record, it's purely because of his appearance.
Even at the end of his tenure at Tottenham, the scene was ugly and there were even heavy defeats, and the fans of Villas-Boas were still trying their best to wash the floor for the Portuguese.
The losing club is responsible, Levy is responsible, the players are responsible, even the fans are responsible.
Brother Boas of their family is not responsible, he has done his best.
It's no different from the rice circle.
And now, Tottenham Hotspur has ushered in a more handsome and temperamental manager, taking the opportunity to play against Manchester United, Benjamin has also unknowingly sucked a lot of fans.
Tottenham's celebration was a bit long, with tens of thousands of United fans in the stands booing loudly.
The Red Devils' players also approached referee Webber under the leadership of captain Nemanja Vidic.
Under pressure, Webb had no choice but to step forward and urge Kane to hurry up and get ready for kick-off.
At this time, Manchester United manager David Moyes was standing on the sidelines with an old face, and the situation was completely different from what he expected.
"Attack! Be sure to score an equaliser as soon as possible! ”
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Moyes gestured to the field, and Rooney saw it and nodded to indicate that it had been received.
Sure enough, the home team, which was behind the score, quickly launched a tidal attack.
Januzaj and Welbeck had shots blocked by Tottenham defenders.
From a corner, Vidic's header was also deflected wide.
The Lily Army was suppressed in their own half for a while, and the players were a little overwhelmed.
Benjamin frowned and came to the sideline again, are these guys ahead but don't know how to play?
"Don't worry! Hold on first! Pay attention to cutting off the passing line! Seize the opportunity to fight back! ”
The shouting was loud enough for the Tottenham players on the pitch to hear, and the manager's voice seemed to be reassuring and allowed the lads to regain their poise.
Obviously, before the game, Benjamin had repeatedly told him to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Rooney and other Manchester United players in the front.
The current Manchester United team basically relies on Rooney to attack.
This is also something that can't be helped, Van Persie is injured, and the people in the front court, Heibei and Xiao Jia, are indeed embarrassed.
The visitors immediately strengthened their defence against Wayne Rooney and United's attack was severely hampered.
In the 34th minute of the game, Januzaj's pass from the left side of the field was tackled by Walker, and Tottenham launched a quick counterattack on the spot.
A long ball hit the ball up front and Kane headed back to the spot under Vidic's entanglement.
Eriksen cuts in and shoots a cold arrow at the top of the penalty area!
"The ball is in! Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea didn't react!
Two to zero! Tottenham Hotspur, playing away, extended their lead in the score! ”
Benjamin waved his raised right arm vigorously, and he knew very well that as soon as the second goal was scored, the game was basically secure.
"The head coach is amazing!"
Benjamin didn't know that his figure had suddenly become a little taller in the minds of Tottenham players and coaches.
Previously, it was clear that Tottenham had fallen into a disadvantage on the field, and the manager Benjamin Lewis was seen to go to the sidelines and shout twice.
The visitors then turned the tide and soon doubled the lead with another goal.
It's amazing, too!
It was the simplest of sports psychology issues, with the visitors suffering a heavy attack from Manchester United after taking the lead.
Tottenham's players do not have a clear goal on the pitch, whether to continue attacking or defending solidly to hold on to a one-goal advantage.
It wouldn't be a problem if Tottenham had an experienced captain on the pitch, but there is no such suitable role for this Tottenham team right now.
Then Benjamin's timely arrival on the sidelines did play a considerable role.
Tottenham, who had been boosted with momentum, were playing more and more, and Manchester United couldn't hold the ball in their own half.
Kane's sudden rush almost caused a mistake by the home team's centre-back Evans.
In the 42nd minute, Rooney, who was getting more and more grumpy, made a vicious tackle on Dembele, and the referee blew a foul and showed a yellow card.
Rooney is not the only one, the Manchester United players who are behind the score and can't even touch the ball are starting to get upset.
Fortunately, the first half was over, otherwise Benjamin's team might have scored another one.
Manchester United ended the first half with a 0-2 scoreline.
Tottenham's players walked into the dressing room with a smile and a smile, while the morale of Manchester United's players on the other side looked a little low.
"You guys are doing great! I applaud you! ”
"Whew!"
"I knew you could! You didn't disappoint me or the fans either!
Manchester United, who won 2-06 at half-time, and at Old Trafford, no one could have imagined that we could do it before the game!
I'm so proud of you! ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the dressing room of the away team was high, with applause, cheers, and strange screams, and the boys were very happy.
"But," Benjamin said, however, the locker room fell silent again.
"As I can say, everyone knows that the game is not over yet, anything is possible, and we are not yet at the time to relax!
This is the opponent's home stadium and they will do everything they can to get an equaliser in the second half.
The two-goal advantage was not so secure, after all, someone was 3-0 in the first half and ended up overturned. ”
Benjamin deliberately left a breath, but the players were stunned for a moment before they realized that the manager was making a small joke and that it was past the time to laugh.
"I don't need to adjust the tactics for the time being, and in the second half I will judge whether we need to make substitutions based on the changes in the opponent and your performance on the field.
When they've just made a substitution and the substitutes haven't gotten into the groove, that's our chance.
In the end, the second half was a good time to keep the tempo down and it was in our favour because we were the side that was ahead.
It's them who need to be anxious, so we will play defensive counter-attacks and save energy.
Of course, don't miss it when it's time to fight back, give me an attack! Do you understand?! ”
"Got it!"
The second half continued with no substitutions on either side.
