"I'm so glad you're still alive and well"

On the evening of September 12, at the White Hart Lane stadium in north London, Ye Qiu had just walked out of the players' tunnel, and immediately overhead was overwhelmed with cheers, which is how Tottenham Hotspur fans have always greeted him.

In this stadium, he is the supreme king, because everything here belongs to him

And every time, Ye Qiu will have a feeling of being the master of his own house, especially as long as he thinks of the things that he used to coach at Ajax and Chelsea, and was ostracized everywhere, he will feel that he should cherish it more.

Ferguson is still wearing his trademark white shirt, but today he is accompanied by a very coquettish red tie, with his rosacea nose and a red old face, the whole feeling is not very pleasing to the eye, a bit like a drunk encountered on the street.

"You're not necessarily much happier than me, are you?" Ferguson sneered.

After two weeks of international breaks, Manchester United is not in a good situation, first away to Tottenham Hotspur, and then at home to Manchester City, both of which are hard-fought games, although in terms of ferocity, it is still not as good as Tottenham Hotspur, but for Manchester United, which has not run in very well in the summer, it is not a good thing to meet such a tricky opponent one after another.

"No, I think I'm in a good mood," Ye Qiu replied with a smile, "At least I'm at the top of the list now, what about you?" ”

Ferguson was so angry that he couldn't help laughing, "When you wait until the game, you will drop out of the top four."

"Let's talk about it when you have this kind of ability," Ye Qiu also replied with a smile.

The two old rivals have been fighting for so many years, and they have learned a lot from each other, and they look more like opponents to each other, but they are also mentors and friends, so as long as the two meet, it is inevitable that there will be some-for-tat rhetoric.

Ferguson's biggest problem now is actually in the midfield, if you look at the cards, Carrick, Sneijder and Lars Diarra's midfield is indeed a perfect match, a very good pair, but sometimes, the heart is unpredictable, such a combination is just not together.

So now Ferguson has to dismantle this set of combinations and use them in turns, sometimes with Carrick Gasnede plus Fletcher, sometimes with Anderson, sometimes with Scholes, in short, depending on which one is too pleasing to the eye, it is Las Diarra, who was pinned on at the beginning of the season, was beaten into the cold palace.

Of course, Ye Qiu knows that this is Ferguson's trick to stay up to the eagle, but Las Diarra was a thorn in his previous life, and if he used it well, he could indeed improve the midfield strength of a team, but once he used it badly, he might hurt himself in turn.

Pellegrini and Mourinho didn't use him well, so I don't know if Ferguson can use it well.

"Ha, sir, it's a little cold tonight, be careful, old man."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Qiu said goodbye to Ferguson after playing a Haluha, and turned around and walked to the home team's coach's seat.

Don't look at the way he usually fights with Ferguson, and don't look at the fact that Tottenham Hotspur is now talking as if Tottenham Hotspur has won the game, but in fact he knows very well that Ferguson's team is now one chance away, a chance to rise strongly.

Sometimes the problems within the team are difficult to solve internally, but if there is a force from the outside that can impact him a little, it may help them to solve their internal problems, and this is the case with Manchester United now, they need to play a win of their own way to sound the horn of their Red Devils.

Ye Qiu knows very well that Ferguson wants to step on Tottenham Hotspur's shoulder and shout this voice, because this can not only boost Manchester United's momentum, but also hit Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit, but he definitely can't give Manchester United such a chance, at least he is not the kind of living Lei Feng who hurts himself and fat.

Ferguson stared at Ye Qiu's back viciously, and his eyes seemed to say, you kid just rush, keep rushing, wait a minute, you will feel better

The fans in the stands were full of enthusiasm, and when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, they all excitedly raised their scarves and club memorabilia from their seats to show their support and loyalty to the team, and all Tottenham Hotspur fans also hoped to take advantage of the opening whistle to give their sworn rivals a hard shot.

In the first round of the league, even the always hard-blooded Liverpool was intimidated by us, can't you still scare your sick Red Devils Manchester United? What an international joke

Ye Qiu didn't notice the fans' thoughts, and the players didn't notice it either, because now everyone's thoughts were on the game, and no one would think about such a thing.

Andy Gray had just taken a sip of water, and when he heard the whistle, he cursed in his heart

"Audience friends, welcome to the White Hart Lane Stadium."

'The game has already begun, the Red Devils are the first to kick off, Benzema passes to Wayne Rooney, and United quickly rewinds the ball back to the back, to the backline, to Carrick.

Andy Gray hasn't fully entered the state for a while, and he feels that his commentary is a bit unexciting, even less energetic than the loud voice of the Tottenham Hotspur on-site commentator, at least the latter coaxed more than 30,000 fans in the entire White Hart Lane stadium, whether they are men, women or children, all of them are as excited as if they were celebrating a holiday

Just when he was about to have a climax, the situation left him speechless.

Carrick quickly passed the ball forward, trying to go to the front to find Benzema, but such an attempt was difficult for Thiago Silva, and the Brazilian central defender blocked Benzema with his body steadily, and without even jumping, he directly pushed the ball back to Fabregas, who retreated to receive it.

Cesc Fabregas took the ball with his back to the attacking direction, distributed it to the right side, and gave it to Alves, who rushed forward quickly, but Manchester United seemed to be prepared for this, Alves was immediately marked by someone after half-time, and the Brazilian right-back quickly distributed it to Messi, Messi had no chance, stopped the ball, and then knocked it back to Alves.

Alves took the ball close to the right flank, observed the situation, and found that Manchester United's defense was still as solid as ever, and Marcelo on the left had already come up, so he directly kicked the ball from the right side to the left quickly.

Marcelo stuck to the left touchline, stopped straight forward to meet the incoming ball, the ball deliberately stopped a little wide, and then quickly chased after it.

Wayne Rooney defended deep and tangled Marcelo, who took advantage of the ball and made a big pass to Ribery's feet.

One-on-one, Ribery to O'Shea

It may be the shadow left by the previous face of Ribery or Messi, the tall O'Shea always has no bottom in the face of short players, as soon as he saw Ribery take the ball, he didn't have a reason to panic in his heart, and then saw that Ribery wanted to make a move, and he wanted to go to the middle, which is in line with Ribery's consistent way of taking the ball and cutting inside.

The good thing about the two feet is that Ribery is very good on both sides of the foot, whether he chooses to cut inside or go down, he can create chances naturally and at will, because he is very good with both feet and left, and if you only have one foot, it will be much less difficult to defend.

As soon as O'Shea saw that Ribery was going to cut inside, he immediately wanted to block him, but Ribery smashed the ball sharply, from the original inside cut to the bottom, and poked the ball first, and then chased after him, and suddenly broke through O'Shea's defense and formed a breakthrough on the left side of the Manchester United penalty area.

The whole process happened almost instantaneously, and after Ribery broke through, Rio Ferdinand rushed up quickly to intercept it, but the French big Scarface was quicker and sent a direct cross into the middle of the box.

Van der Sar didn't dare to attack at will, and Nemanja Vidic was slightly to the right, and if Falcao hadn't been present, he might have been able to wait until the ball was in his defensive range and then clear it directly.

But what is terrible is that Falcao, who is a lot shorter than Vidic, rushed out from behind, grabbed Vidic, and shook his head to head Ribery's cross into Van der Sar's goal

From kick-off to finish, the whole process took place in less than 50 seconds, and Tottenham Hotspur used it to create the first attack of the game, scoring the first shot on goal, but also scoring the first goal and, more importantly, Falcao's header

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Andy Gray is almost going to burst his lungs, and he finds that if he continues to follow Tottenham Hotspur's game, he will definitely shout sooner or later, because the north London team is always scoring goals and creating surprises.

"Romedal Falcao, ninth league goal of the season, happened to Manchester United"

After Falcao's goal, the first thing he rushed to was to run towards Ribery, and the two hugged on the sidelines, and Falcao seemed to be thanking Ribery for the good ball for him.

"Judging from the whole process of scoring, Falcao's header awareness is indeed very good, but more importantly, Ribery's cross is very comfortable, and the landing point is very accurate, especially the judgment of Vidic's position, if you are on the right, Falcao will not be able to take advantage of Vidic, but because of this little difference, Vidic has no choice but to watch this little man score a header in front of him."

Andy Gray was also amused by the funny thing that happened on the football field, in fact, the most important thing in heading is not height or strength, but position.

As long as you are in a good position, you tend to have an advantage when it comes to headers.

Of course, if you are too short and too weak, and you lose your position as soon as you are pushed, then you can say both, but in general, the most important thing for a header is to judge the position of the ball, and the first point is the key factor, as long as you are stuck in the position, let alone Falcao, Messi can score a header in front of Vidic.

Ferguson on the sidelines probably planned to walk to the dugout and sit, so with his back to the pitch, he originally expected that there would be nothing to be nervous about after the opening, but before he could get to the position and sit down, he turned around to find that Romedal Falcao behind him had happily rushed out of the Manchester United penalty area and scored the ball?

This surprised Ferguson, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Not to mention him, even his group of assistants, now they are all so surprised that they can put an egg in their mouths, and they conceded the ball in less than a minute after the opening, how can such a game be played?

If Manchester United is a mature and stable team, then maybe there is still a chance, but the problem is that now Manchester United itself has just been restructured, and it is very unstable, and suddenly someone has scored a goal and played a slap as soon as it comes up, how can this kind of game continue?

The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands also looked at the players celebrating on the pitch in disbelief, at least they all felt that the goal came a little fiercely, a little early, a little fast, but it was very, very enjoyable

After a few seconds of silence after the goal, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers dedicated to Romedal Falcao, who scored his ninth league goal of the season, and the Colombian center forward was also supported by his teammates to receive the applause and cheers of the fans.

The long journey obviously did not affect his state, because Ye Qiu had a tacit understanding with various national teams before, that is, some players, including Messi and Ribery, only played half a game in the warm-up matches of the national team.

The good relationship between everyone on weekdays is reflected at this critical moment, at least Tottenham Hotspur's players are in a good mental state, whether it is Ribery or Messi, they are okay.

With the team's opener, the rest was much easier and more straightforward.

Tottenham Hotspur, who took the lead in breaking through Manchester United fans, soon took advantage of home advantage and the advantage of scoring first to press Manchester United, and the Red Devils, who have been in poor form recently, have never been able to find an effective means of resistance, especially their midfield, which can hardly organize an effective attack, which also makes Ferguson angry on the sidelines, almost vomiting blood.

However, Manchester United's defensive skills are still very positive, although the midfield has lost order, but at least the Red Devils are not as messy as Liverpool, but still organize an effective defense, which has a certain relationship with Ferdinand and Vidic's two central defenders, so Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to take advantage of it for a while.

It wasn't until the 28th minute of the first half that Vidic fouled Messi who cut inside on the right side during a defensive time, and was yellow carded by the referee, and gave Tottenham a chance to take a set-piece in front.

In the past, Tottenham Hotspur's free-kick takers were David Beckham, Gareth Bale and Robin van Persie, but now Beckham is on the bench and Gareth Bale and Van Persie are gone, so this time Messi stepped up.

This surprised all the fans in the stands, Messi can still score a free kick?

I saw that the Argentine superstar slowly took a few steps back, and after standing still, he waited for the referee to blow the whistle, rushed forward quickly, and gently rubbed his left foot against the ball.

At a distance of about 22 meters from the goal, Messi's free kick turned into a bewitching arc and turned into the upper right corner of Manchester United's goal, and the upper right corner happened to be Van der Sar's save corner, which was also his only corner.

scored a direct free kick in the first official game in his life, Messi was so excited that he jumped on the spot and quickly rushed to the sidelines, he rushed to the bench in one breath, hugged Beckham who was sitting on the bench, thanked the big brother for his guidance on free kicks for a long time in the past, and then shook hands with Ye Qiu and hugged before running to his teammates.

"It's a surprising match," said Andy Gray, whose heart raced.

Falcao scored a header in front of Vidic just now, and he was mentally prepared, but now Messi has come out to take a free kick, what kind of world is this? Could it be that now these leading stars are going to be all-powerful?

"It can be seen that Messi's free kick has been influenced by Beckham, the arc is very strong, the main focus is on skill, not strength, and he takes a different path from Cristiano Ronaldo."

'But I'm surprised right now and I'm sure it would have been more interesting if even Ribery had come in with a free-kick later.'

But it was clear that Andy Gray's hopes did not materialize, not so much because Ribery didn't get a chance, but that this French Scarface chance was not a direct free-kick, but an assist.

This was on the left side of the arc of the penalty area, after winning the ball and breaking Carrick and O'Shea in succession, he made a sharp stop in front of the baseline and knocked back to David Silva, who pushed a comfortable left-footed shot through Van der Sar's goal again, 0

The goal came in the 42nd minute just before the end of the first half, and it was the last goal of the game, and then in the second half, no matter how Tottenham attacked and looked for opportunities, United did not give Tottenham any more scoring opportunities.

In the end, this high-profile focus battle ended with Tottenham Hotspur beating Manchester United 0 at home.

This game also made Tottenham Hotspur's leading position this season glittering and full of gold, as they have won five in a row to lead the Premier League table after losing Liverpool, West Ham United and Manchester United, which is well deserved.

However, Ferguson was not convinced at all after the game, he said that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur was able to play smoothly was mainly because they had a good start, and if they hadn't scored in less than a minute of the opening game, Manchester United would not have fallen into a situation of defeat, so for this defeat, Ferguson attributed it to luck.

For Ferguson, who is a dead duck with a hard mouth, Ye Qiu won the game, he was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to bother with him, anyway, everyone has eyes and knows how to see, if he is lucky, he can get a 0 in Manchester United, then Manchester United's luck is too sad, right?

Or is Manchester United's strength just a disguise?
