Chapter 39: A Strong Signal
At the moment when Ronaldo scored, Dong Fangzhuo also fell to the right.
It's a perfect fit.
Manchester United lead Tottenham 2-0.
The faces of every fan at White Hart Lane Stadium were covered with thick dark clouds.
It seems that the nightmare has struck again.
Having lost to Manchester United countless times, is this going to be the case this time?
Why does it always turn out so badly when a team meets Manchester United?
"Manchester United are 2-0 up, look at the tempo, Manchester United are going to win by a big score. United are yet to win by a big margin this season and could be hopeful today. ”
"Tottenham always jump out to help Manchester United at the most critical time, and this time may be no exception, worthy of having the same team song."
Sky Sports commentators are optimistic and have already begun to imagine the outcome.
If Santini can't find a better way, such a situation is indeed likely to arise.
Santini's team didn't play badly, they just had bad luck.
At the same time, there is no blood of Manchester United's players, and they also have good opportunities, especially on the two wings, Keane and Defoe are very active, but then they were frightened by the courage of Neville and Heinze, and they did not play at the level they should have.
It was also when Keane and Defoe were in a low state that Manchester United scored through a counterattack and let Dong Fangzhuo assist Ronaldo to score!
Then the score became 2:0.
So don't be intimidated and make others angry......
If Keane and Defoe continue to be brave, United may not have the chance to score.
"Keane and Defoe are two good strikers, but I always feel that they owe something to the shortcomings, temperament, killer temperament?"
"You see China understands, although he has no technical advantages, but he has his own characteristics, you have to say what temperament can be found from him, that is, the spirit of hard work, he is diligent, he can run, although diligence and can run is not enough, but in the case that you have no advantages, the rest is not these? Not to mention the fact that Manchester United's midfield has the ability to feed the ball. ”
"Whether it's his goal just now, or the assist for Ronaldo now, he spelled it out himself. Do you say that the ability of China Dong is stronger than that of Defoe? I don't think so, but what flows from China Dong, Defoe doesn't have it, Keane doesn't, and that's probably the biggest difference between them. ”
'Even the players as a whole of Manchester United, their spirits are completely different, except for Ruud van Nistelrooy, perhaps.
Manchester United have two goals in hand, and the pressure is only on Tottenham's side.
This season, Manchester United have generally fallen behind first and then stubbornly equalised.
Now with an unprecedented two-goal lead, it's definitely a big benefit for Manchester United, a big package.
They can play more calmly.
Scholes deliberately dropped back, combed the midfield and controlled the tempo of the game.
Tottenham Hotspur are already in a bit of a hurry, many players are too young and mentally unstable, and falling behind makes them play more impulsively, but they start to foul on their own initiative.
Defoe was stuck in advance by Heinze, and finally couldn't help but push Heinze, although he didn't take the card, but he was also verbally warned by the referee.
Manchester United's team, although there are several fewer main players, is less mature than in previous years, but compared to Tottenham, it is also stable enough.
In particular, they have the battle-hardened Paul Scholes in midfield, something Tottenham don't have.
Don't underestimate the role of a veteran on the pitch, and while Paul Scholes isn't really old, he has more experience than all the players on Tottenham combined.
And with Manchester United already leading 2-0, it was very easy for Scholes to control the tempo.
Tottenham wanted to play fast, but Scholes kept slowing down the tempo and didn't want to be at the same pace as Tottenham.
Manchester United have been playing at his pace, while Tottenham have been a bit of a mess.
For more than 20 minutes after the first half, Tottenham played quite uncomfortably.
The score of 0:2 was still dragged on until the end of the game.
At the start of the second half, Ferguson had already started to warm up Rooney on the sidelines, and it looked like he wanted Rooney to come on the pitch to get a feeling, accompanied by Saha.
"Rooney is ready to come on the field, he should be replacing Chinese Dong or Vanney, judging from the performance of this game, it may be more appropriate to replace Vanney, Vanney has no performance at all, if his form continues to be so sluggish, it is likely that he will have to sit on the bench."
"You know, there are still Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frenchman Saha on the bench today, once you get on the bench, you don't know when and when you will be able to climb back to the main position, Manchester United's forward competition is too fierce."
Tottenham came up with a frenzied offensive attempt to pull a goal back when United were still on their feet, but the Reds were clearly prepared and didn't give them that chance.
The game was back at a stalemate.
It was useless for Santini to jump on the field, and his disciples were still in a hurry.
Then began to fight frequently on the one hand.
Ferguson's eye naturally saw these first-hand.
Then, it was time for the assistant coach to prepare for the substitutions.
The substitution sign was held up, and it said No. 10 Fanny.
"Oh! Sure enough, it was Fanny, not China Dong. ”
"But Ferguson didn't let Rooney go on, he went up on No.9 Saha! Why not Rooney? ”
This seems to be a very strong signal, at least that China Dong is now in a higher position in Ferguson's heart than Ruud van Nistelrooy. As far as the last few games are concerned, the Chinese Dong deserves to stay on the field. ”
For the second game in a row, Ruud van Nistelrooy was substituted early.
A ripple appeared in Dong Fangzhuo's heart, and he also interpreted Ferguson's thoughts.
This is definitely a kind of trust that the lord has in him.
Otherwise
It should be him, not Ruud van Nistelrooy!
Drink!
Ronaldo took the ball on the right side, Dong Fangzhuo jumped high, and with a light header, he gave the ball to Saha, who had just come on the field.
Saha felt that his feet had not yet warmed up, so Dong Fangzhuo sent him a nanny to assist.
He took advantage of the situation and shot with his left foot!
Tottenham players felt a chill in their ears......
The powerful blast flew straight into the middle of the goal, the force was so great that the goalkeeper only symbolically stretched out his hand, and there was no way to stop the ball from entering the net.
3:0!
Tottenham were instantly thrown into 18 layers of hell and never seemed to be able to turn over.
Accidentally, Dong Fangzhuo completed two assists without any fancies!
As a good striker, he scored goals in the most direct way and assisted in the most concise way.
What else could he be asked to do?
Couldn't have been more!
This goal completely ignited the anger of the Tottenham players.
Then
Tottenham Hotspur told the Manchester United players three yellow cards in a row, and they were furious!
Paul Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo were twisted in midfield in quick succession, and Ferguson was so frightened that Rooney was brought back to the bench.
On Rooney at this time?
It's so adventurous!
What should Rooney do if he gets injured again?
If you think about it, forget it......
In the end, Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-0 away and won all three points.
glory
It belongs to Manchester United!
victory
It belongs to Manchester United!
