Chapter 521: Defense Manual
'The last time Tottenham won at Old Trafford was back in 1989 and I scored the only goal.
Lineker paused, enjoying the scene of his own killing of Manchester United. As the leading goalscorer in history, at least he has led Tottenham to take out Manchester United.
Then there was a tragedy for Tottenham, and he remembered it painfully.
Tottenham have only won five at home to Manchester United during that time, but United have won 23 and drawn six. The two sides have met 130 times in the league history, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 65 wins, 33 draws and 32 defeats. Manchester United are attacking strongly today, with almost no injuries, and the 21-year-old is now particularly fond of Modric, who is starting to like the flow of control play? Luka Modric, Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes were in midfield. ”
Tottenham welcomed back Ledley King after recovering from a knee injury, with new signings Chimbonda and Mido, who had spent last season on loan at Tottenham. Egyptian midfielder Ghali came on to replace Lennon, who suffered a knee injury in training yesterday. Tottenham have also won three in a row this season, and the fans have even shouted the slogan of winning the title, but such a slogan has to withstand the baptism of Manchester United today, and if they can take a point away from Manchester United's home stadium, then it is still a good slogan, just ......"
Lineker is a little reluctant to continue, Tottenham won the title?
No, unless I put on my shirt again now to fight for Tottenham. He doesn't want to break the hearts of Tottenham fans, but the truth is that Manchester United are so much better this year.
Subsequently, the big screen gave the starting lineups of both sides:
Manchester United line-up (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar;
Defenders: Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra;
Midfielders: Carrick, Luka Modric, Paul Scholes;
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo, Rossi
Tottenham line-up (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Robinson;
Defender: Ledley. King, Ekoto, Dawson, Zim Bonda;
Midfielders: Davies, Jokora, Gali, Jenas;
Forwards: Defoe, Robbie Keane
'It's said that Manchester United's squad is not strong enough, but I think it's just a symptom, if Smith can come back, Manchester United will have too many manpower, and when everyone is worried about Manchester United, Manchester United may have already been on the top of the table, and if Chelsea lose another game, they will definitely cry."
'Tottenham's only chance today was to create chances for Defoe and Robbie Keane, two strikers who could cause huge problems for the United defence.
Beep –
The first match of the fourth round of the Premier League was the first to start......
Manchester United kicked off at home, and the 21-year-old Modric was younger than Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick in the midfield three, but his composure on the ball impressed the other two.
So after Scholes got the ball, he still chose to knock the ball to Modric in the middle.
Modric was not polite, after getting the ball, he brought it forward, and Tottenham's Jokola wanted to come up and grab the ball, but Modric threw off Jokola with an easy pull ball, quite a midfielder.
It was then that Luka Modric calmly slipped the ball into Wayne Rooney on the left.
call
Tottenham's right midfielder Davies arched like a wild boar and knocked Rooney to the ground directly, he is 33 years old, and the Dutch star Davies is also brave and invincible.
Not tall and not heavy, but known as a wild boar and a bulldog, Davis will not be gentle with anyone.
The years have scratched his face, but his combat power is still explosive.
"Davies is still so fierce, this may be a weapon to curb Manchester United's attack on the side, but Tottenham does not have two Davies, the right side is defended, what to do on the left side? There is also the middle lane. ”
Rooney rolled on the turf and almost roared when he got up. The Dutch dared to be so arrogant at Old Trafford, where could he swallow such a breath?
However, Dong Fangzhuo, who was beside him, hurriedly came up and grabbed him.
"Wayne, calm down."
"Don't forget our goals!"
Rooney's temper tantrum always erupts in the game, and he never knows when. Temper is always his biggest problem, Dong Fangzhuo knows this, and always rushes to stop Rooney at the first time, he doesn't want to play more with less in a few minutes.
He put his arm around Rooney and tried to calm him down.
"I said this guy is fierce, you should find a way to let him go down, not be down!"
After Dong Fangzhuo's reminder, Rooney really held his breath and rushed into the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area.
Davis, who was wearing black eye-protective sunglasses, walked back with a fierce face, this kind of scene is commonplace for him, it is too normal to teach Rooney a lesson, that is, Rooney rushed up to fight with him, Rooney may not be an opponent, to say brave, Davis is no worse than any player in the world.
At his age, he can do whatever he wants, of course, there must be a strategic purpose in treating Rooney like this, otherwise he wouldn't have been so high-profile.
Luka Modric took a free-kick from the left and the ball fell to Tottenham's penalty area, where Ledley King, who had just returned from injury, scrambled the ball out before Rooney, who was frustrated again......
However, as Lineker said, Manchester United has so many attack points, and it is not limited to Rooney's play, Ronaldo on the right side is actually even more terrifying.
In the 6th minute, Ronaldo dribbled continuously on the right side, Tottenham midfielder Jonathan was easily shaken by him, and then he made a one-two with Modric, re-receiving the ball from behind Gary and volleying directly with his left foot from 25 yards!
Although the ball was confiscated by Robinson, Ronaldo's performance received a round of applause from Old Trafford.
Two minutes later, Ronaldo, who was in great shape, then switched places with Rooney and took the ball to face Davies, Davis wanted to treat Ronaldo like Rooney, but found that Ronaldo's movements were much faster than Rooney, and he couldn't touch it if he wanted to! The outstretched right leg wanted to trip Ronaldo, but the leg hadn't fallen yet, but Ronaldo fell first.
Wow!
Davis was instantly stunned, he heard that Ronaldo's diving skills were awesome before he came to the Premier League, and he saw it with his own eyes today.
Beep
The referee immediately ran over and gave Davis a verbal warning, but did not take out the card.
Davis had a bitter stomach, but he didn't vomit it on the spot, the referee didn't see it, he yelled uselessly, and finally shook his head and left, he likes to play with such a young man.
Ronaldo got up from the turf proudly, very satisfied with his masterpiece. "Man, learn something!" He also gave Rooney a look......
Rooney ignored him with his head stuffy, but he was a little depressed in his heart, and he wouldn't fake a fall like this with him if he was killed.
The set-piece was in a good position, the penalty area was on the left, about 27 meters from the goal, Ronaldo of course did not let stand in front of the ball, and then stretched the running distance very long.
"This guy is definitely going to shoot, looking at the stance, he must be hitting the goal. However, there are not many angles to choose from, presumably to shoot to the right side of the goal, after all, Ronaldo's shooting method determines the angle of his shot. Of course, be careful of Dong in the penalty area, as long as Ronaldo shoots, he is always the first to rush to make up for it. ”
Knock –
Ronaldo's right foot really shot a heavy cannon!
The ball flew past the right side of the wall, and although Robinson knew that Ronaldo had a good chance of shooting the ball in this direction, the reaction time was too short and the ball flew too fast!
The point is that the flight trajectory is still so weird that you don't even dare to use your fists.
So he can only hold the ball with both hands.
His judgment was not wrong!
As soon as he did so, the ball collided and spun violently on his glove, eventually jumping out of the palm of his hand.
He didn't think about catching the ball with both hands, he just wanted to hold it out, but now he couldn't control the direction of the ball's flight at all!
"Dong!"
Lineker seems to have known that Dong Fangzhuo would appear.
The moment Ronaldo shot the goal, Dong Fangzhuo had already flashed out of the ambush wall. When others still needed to take a look at the flight path of the ball, Dong Fangzhuo didn't even look at it!
Because he knows which direction Ronaldo's shot will fly.
“gooooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooal!”
"Martin, didn't you read the defensive instructions before you led the team to Old Trafford? On the manual, there must be a clause that says that when Ronaldo shoots, he must send someone to keep an eye on Dong! ”
