Chapter 666: The Ball Is In Again!
"Oops, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive is here again!"
"Evans made a pass error, Messi broke the ball, passed diagonally to Cavani, and ran to the middle!"
"Cavani knocks back, Messi catches the ball, Tottenham Hotspur advances very fast, and then passes to Ribery at the edge of the box!"
Franck Ribery was clever and chose to dribble diagonally to the left side of the box as he saw that the United players were back in the box, so he chose to go wide and stretch the Reds defensively, while also drawing Rafael and Ferdinand to the left.
To be honest, one-on-one, Manchester United are now not at ease with Rafael to deal with Ribery alone.
As soon as Ribery got hold of the ball, he immediately crossed diagonally to the edge of the box and gave it to Messi on the left side of the arc area, who pumped his left foot.
"Curveball, ball in!!!!!"
"A curling shot from Messi, Tottenham Hotspur's front trident, three to four, broke through Manchester United's goal again, this is simply to completely storm Old Trafford, 4:0 !!"
Andy? Gray was indescribably crazy, he felt that all the blood in his body was activated by wave after wave of Tottenham Hotspur attacks, he felt that his whole body was now boiling with blood, and he almost had an urge to cheer loudly and cheer wildly.
"4:0, four goals, Manchester United, Manchester United, what the hell are you doing, it's only been less than 23 minutes in the first half, and you're four goals behind, this is simply the rhythm of being slaughtered by Tottenham Hotspur!"
Richard? Keith also looked excited on the sidelines, "I can only say that the pressure given by Tottenham Hotspur is indeed too great, Cavani is forcing Ferdinand and Evans in front, midfielders Ramsey and Vidal are pinching Manchester United's passing routes, plus Ribery and Messi, no matter how you pass, the options are very small." ”
"Evans' kick is really bad, but it should also be taken into account that if he doesn't give it, he is likely to be cut off by Cavani, which is definitely a fatal mistake, and if you pass the ball forward, whether it is for Carrick or for Russ? Diarra, there is a lot of risk, and the distance between each other is a bit large. ”
Andy? Gray nodded, "Yes, if you make a long pass, it is basically to give the ball to Tottenham Hotspur, so Evans chose to be assigned to the wing, but no one expected that this pass would become the beginning of Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack." ”
"The situation is very bad for Manchester United!" Richard? Keith also looked a little helpless, "Four goals behind, although there is still more than an hour in the game, but the blow to the morale and fighting spirit of the Manchester United players is really too big, and Tottenham Hotspur's state in this game is indeed very well adjusted." ”
"You look at the players in the midfield of this game, Vidal, Ramsey and Pirlo, it doesn't look like it's the first time they've worked together, they seem to be very well connected, they shout and respond to each other in a timely manner, it's clear that they had a long time training together before this game, and this communication between them is very smooth!"
"It should be said that Manchester United's strength has indeed declined a lot, especially the absence of Vidic, the problem of Ferdinand and Evans' central defensive combination is too serious, and the midfield lacks a person who can hold the ball, and after the front and back are stretched, there is a lack of an effective transition."
'We took note of Andrea Pirlo's stats, he had an easy game, 100 per cent pass completion rate so far, and one assist, so it shows that Andrea Pirlo is really comfortable in midfield, Manchester United didn't put pressure on him at this point, which made Tottenham's attack very well organised!
The live TV camera gave Pirlo a big close-up, and his scheduling and combing in the midfield in this game really showed the strength of the top midfield playmaker, whether it was in attack or defense, he made outstanding contributions.
"I believe that after this game, AC Milan fans will regret that their bowels are blue, because they found that they sent away such a good midfield playmaker for nothing, Pirlo's current football attainments have really reached the level of masters, lifting weights like light, very relaxed, and controlling the rhythm with every move!"
Andy? Gray spoke highly of Pirlo's performance in this game, especially his passing and grooming in midfield.
"Actually, I don't think Manchester United didn't want to suppress Pirlo, but the problem is that they can't suppress it!" Richard? Keith has his own other opinion, "You see Pirlo's technical ability is very good, he is not afraid of your pressure, as long as there is a point to the ball, he can play the ball, and as long as Manchester United presses Pirlo, Ramsey and Vidal will come back one, the wingbacks on both wings also go up one, and the two central defenders also go up to one, Pirlo has too many choices, and he can't stop it at all!" ”
"It's true that Tottenham Hotspur's players are really good in terms of movement and passing, not to mention in the Premier League, even on the continent."
"Yes!" Richard? Keith then said, "Ye Qiu is a coach who attaches great importance to one touch of the ball, you see, as soon as the Manchester United players press, Tottenham Hotspur's continuous one-touch pass quickly transferred the ball out of the ball, making your pressing look more like useless work, wasting energy in vain." ”
"However, Tottenham Hotspur's possession is very different from Barcelona's possession, Barcelona's running position is more based on tandem, while Tottenham Hotspur's running position is based on penetration and advancement, so Barcelona has a lot of horizontal passes and lateral runs, while Tottenham Hotspur is more trying longitudinal and direct diagonal passes."
As he spoke, he saw that Pirlo had another diagonal long pass, outside the arc of the middle circle, and a direct diagonal long pass, which fell accurately to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area, Rafael and Ribery were fighting for speed, but this time Ribery failed to fight Rafael for speed, and the Brazilian right-back was firmly stuck in a favorable position, grabbed before Ribery, and kicked the ball out of bounds.
"Tottenham Hotspur are attacking fiercely, I know I don't have a chance, but I still have to keep putting pressure on you, at least I earned a throw-in!" Andy? Gray is analysing Ribery's state of mind right now.
"This kind of pressure can sometimes be a big stimulus for the side that is behind, or the side that is at a disadvantage, because they will feel very annoyed and aggrieved, and when the fan atmosphere is stimulated, it is easy to make some uncalm moves, let alone play abnormally."
I saw Ribery quickly run out of bounds and grab the ball, but Alba ran over at this time and motioned for him to send the throw-in, allowing Ribery to run over and prepare to catch the ball.
"Jordi? Alba, this game replaced Marcelo, the latter basically played the whole game in the Copa America this summer, so at the beginning of the season, Ye Qiu arranged Alba to start two consecutive games, and we can also see that Alba's performance is indeed very good, this game Spanish coach Bosque also sat in the stands, it is said that he is going to visit Alba. ”
Richard? Keith listened to Andy? Gray nodded after his words, "Alba, a player from Barcelona, later went to Valencia, and then was introduced by Ye Qiu at a low price, but judging from his past performance, he is indeed very good, he is small, but he has good skills at his feet, is fast, has wing impact, and is quite a good fullback." ”
"Ye Qiu, the head coach, is very interesting, he is very good at introducing the kind of players who are a little up-and-coming, after introducing them at a low price, they will be carved a little bit, perform well, and then sell them, in the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur is a big winner in the transfer market, almost every season the transfer market has to earn tens of millions of euros, known as the black shop of the black shop!"
Andy? After Gray heard this, Ha Lu smiled, "Didn't someone bombard Ye Qiu before for using all the money he earned in the transfer market to invest in real estate?" Now Manchester United also wants to invest in real estate, there is a project around Old Trafford, but Manchester United has no money, and the Glazer can't even get the money for the transfer, where can they invest like Tottenham Hotspur? ”
"When I was interviewing the CEO of the Premier League, Michael Skudmoor, I was very impressed by what he said, he said that if you were to evaluate the value of the current Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspur would be the most valuable team, even far more than Manchester United!"
"I couldn't understand this sentence, so I asked why, he said that the properties and projects that Tottenham Hotspur has invested in in the past few years are all golden chickens that lay eggs, and the annual rent is a lot of income, especially with the approach of the Olympic Games, the overall economy of London is basically good, which makes the office rental market and the real estate market generally bullish."
"Scudmore expects that by the summer of 2012, Tottenham Hotspur will have properties worth more than Tottenham Hotspur themselves, plus a Stratford stadium, which would be a very staggering figure."
Andy? After Gray heard this, he smiled, "I'm not surprised, because Tottenham Hotspur itself is a golden rooster that lays eggs, do you see that in the past six months, sell Yaya?" Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David? Silva earned more than 180 million euros, but Ye Qiu only spent 12 million euros when he introduced Vidal. ”
"I've heard that the rest of the money is basically invested in some real estate projects, and in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur's profit in the transfer market is definitely astronomical, but I think there is a premise for this, and that is Ye Qiu!"
Richard? After hearing this, Keith agreed loudly, "Ye Qiu, as the head coach and chairman, I think he handled it very well, although the team sells people every year, they are all sold at a high price, and the team's results have been very stable, although the performance in Europe in the past two seasons has been poor, but they have also reached the knockout round, and won the league championship!" ”
"And according to the style of play of Tottenham Hotspur this season, I think there is complete hope, of course, as long as they keep this style of play, they are very hopeful that in the next year or two, they will hit the Champions League again, and this year I believe their biggest wish is to win the Premier League four times in a row, which is a history-making four consecutive titles!"
With a four-goal lead, United were a little frustrated, and Tottenham Hotspur slowed down their attack and tempo.
It's an effective way to recuperate, switching between fast and slow tempo in the game to give yourself a respite and adjust the fitness of the players, which Tottenham Hotspur has been familiar with in the past few seasons.
Pirlo seems to be at ease in Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, not just because of his individual strength, but because the entire Tottenham Hotspur team has a tacit understanding from front to back, often as long as he makes a move, shouts, everyone knows his thoughts and intentions.
It's because they have a very good understanding of the game, they know when to be fast and when to be slow, and they are very consistent, and it makes it easy for Pirlo to adjust the pace of the team and to comb the midfield.
As Ye Qiu has always said, controlling the rhythm of a team relies on eleven people, not one person.
As the clock ticked by, United were now gradually pulling Wayne Rooney back into midfield to take part in the battle for control of the game.
Just as the clock was about forty minutes, the pace of the game quietly became faster again.
Alba didn't get a chance when he dribbled forward once, and after combining with Ribery, he chose to take it back, knocking it back to Pirlo, who knocked back to Kompany, Kompany to Pirlo, who passed Thiago? Silva, the Brazilian was assigned to Alves on the right.
Tottenham Hotspur quickly moved the ball from the left to the right in the middle of this successive passes.
Alves dribbled the ball forward, didn't wait for Tevez to get close to him, passed diagonally to find Vidal to change positions, and retreated to Ramsey, who responded to him, and behind the Welshman was Carrick, so after Ramsey saw the ball coming, he knocked back Pirlo directly, did not let the ball stay on his feet, and then chose to run away.
Carrick followed Ramsey out of the area a little bit, and Pirlo played a straight through ball to the feet of Messi behind Carrick.
Messi stopped the ball and turned around in one go, rushing forward with the ball directly, making it clear that the carriage was to go over alone to impact Manchester United's entire defense, so Evans and Evra, who bore the brunt of the attack, stared at Messi as if they were big enemies, for fear that one would accidentally give the Argentines another opportunity.
Cavani quickly approached Evans, he was obviously looking everywhere, paying attention to Manchester United's backline, it seemed that he was observing, to see if he was in an offside position, and looking at his momentum, he was waiting for Messi to pass the ball behind him, and then ran over to receive it, so Ferdinand did not dare to be careless, and approached Cavani for the first time.
But when Ferdinand left his position slightly, Rafael was pinned down by Ribery on the left side of the arc, the French Scarface did not move, and Rafael did not dare to move, which led to the entire Manchester United penalty area The top of the arc was exposed.
Messi took the ball close to Evans and Evra, and chose to cross horizontally at the first time, and saw Vidal, who rushed up quickly from behind, in the middle of the arc top area, after stopping the ball, he adjusted it and directly picked up his right foot, which was a powerful volley, the ball was like a cannonball out of the chamber, and lightning drilled into the goal behind De Gea.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!”
"The ball is in again!!! From the Chilean international, Arturo? Vidal's goal, 5:0! ”
"Tottenham Hotspur tonight is really crazy, Manchester United's entire backline can't keep up with the rhythm and pace of Tottenham Hotspur, they are completely led by Tottenham Hotspur, there is no way at all, they can't even find an effective way to defend the opponent's attack, and they have been breached again and again!"
The live TV was being replayed in slow motion, and judging from the course of the game, Vidal's back insertion was indeed a bit abrupt, but Manchester United's defense was indeed pulled out of a big gap, and Russ? Diarra didn't get back in place at the first time, but waited until Vidal rushed over, and he wanted to follow, but it was too late.
"Crazy Tottenham Hotspur! It's a crazy team! They took down the entire Old Trafford stadium tonight and they definitely have a chance to celebrate a great victory in front of their arch-rival fans! ”
Richard? Keith was a little embarrassed, "If we continue to play like this, Tottenham Hotspur will still score in the second half, I think now Tottenham Hotspur's mentality and morale are better, they play very relaxed, and very confident!" ”
The game restarted when United made a mistake on a pass, Vidal interfered with Carrick and Pirlo intercepted it to Alba on the wing, who advanced quickly and crossed to Ramsey.
Ramsey facing Russ on the edge of the penalty area? Diarra, very calmly dribbling the ball, an easy pick-up pass, Messi rushed up quickly from behind, and the header from the right post of the goal was headed back into the penalty area.
"Dangerous!!!!" Andy? Gray exclaimed.
But this time, De Gea finally made an excellent save, putting Messi's ball back in advance, ahead of Cavani, and punching out of the penalty area to resolve a goal-breaking crisis.
Tottenham Hotspur's flood of attacks has left Manchester United's defence in full swing, and there is a lot of noise in front of goal.
The live TV camera also showed Ferguson on the sidelines, but he saw the Scottish coach sitting in the coach's box, without the slightest expression, looking very serious, and I don't know what kind of thoughts he has in his heart now.
Before the game started, everyone even thought that Manchester United had a good chance of winning, but who would have thought that after the game was played, the first half was not over, and Manchester United had already conceded five goals in a row on their home turf.
If this rhythm continues, Manchester United may even suffer a tragedy similar to last season's north London derby, Arsenal's humiliating 0-9 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur, when Ferguson will become a sinner in the mouth of Manchester United fans, and may even resign and retire directly.
But fortunately, the referee Howard? Webb blew the whistle for help, ending the first half of the collapse that had collapsed.
It also gives United a chance to make adjustments, depending on what kind of changes Ferguson will make in midfield. At the start of the new game, United made a mistake when Vidal interfered with Carrick and Pirlo intercepted it and handed it to Alba on the wing, who advanced quickly and crossed to Ramsey.
Ramsey facing Russ on the edge of the penalty area? Diarra, very calmly dribbling the ball, an easy pick-up pass, Messi rushed up quickly from behind, and the header from the right post of the goal was headed back into the penalty area.
"Dangerous!!!!" Andy? Gray exclaimed.
