No. 249 White Hart Lane
“Gooooooooal!!! Manchester United 1:0 Alburg!! It's only 10 minutes into the show! Jonker scored his fourth goal in the Champions League this season! He helped Manchester United get off to a good start! It's perfect! ”
The commentators were yelling, and Jonk was yelling inside the stadium, as he rushed to the stands and made a glider gesture of celebration, which immediately detonated Old Trafford. However, the glider didn't go far before Rooney threw himself to the ground, and then more teammates rushed up.
After celebrating with his team-mates, Jonker waved into the stands, prompting continued cheers from the United fans.
Ferguson's face is full of smiles, Manchester United have shaken off the ups and downs of the start of the season, and now in the league, with a game in hand, one point behind leaders Chelsea, the Champions League has also locked in the group of transparent, this Champions League group stage and Alborg game, has no impact on the standings. In addition, in the Carabao Cup, Manchester United also reached the semi-finals, so it can be said that the current shape is very good.
However, Ferguson did not dare to be careless, after the weekend of league games, Manchester United will travel to Japan for the Club World Cup, during which Manchester United will have two games to make up for the date, plus one game that needs to be made up for the previous participation in the UEFA Super Cup, Manchester United have three supplementary games, which will increase the intensity of Manchester United's games, especially the devil's schedule during the Christmas period.
Arguably, the biggest problem with Manchester United's current situation is fitness, and once they return from the Club World Cup trip, the chain reaction will be devastating.
Finally, this is the final match of the group stage of the Champions Cup. Manchester United beat Alborg 3-0 at Old Trafford as Jonker opened the scoring. Wayne Rooney's header narrowed the lead for United towards the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Anderson's shot hit the back of the head of the Alborg player, and the score was fixed at 3:0.
Two days later, the United squad travelled to London by bus for an away game against Tottenham Hotspur.
At this time, it was already winter, but winter at White Hart Lane had already arrived.
Tottenham Hotspur spent close to £70 million on transfers this summer. However, the results so far this season have been very poor, with two draws and six defeats in the first eight Premier League games to pick up just two points, the worst start in the club's Premier League history. And now, the league has been played for 17 rounds, and Tottenham Hotspur is still hovering in the relegation zone, thanks to the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur Redknapp, the old coach came to the White Hart Lane stadium and brought the team from the position of vice-president to the current ranking of about 12, belonging to the relegation zone and the hovering zone of the European arena.
The elder Redknapp was the replacement of Spaniard Sergio Ramos. As the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Ramos was sacked due to poor results, but just last season, Ramos also led Tottenham Hotspur to victory over Arsenal, Chelsea and other strong teams. Just when fans thought Tottenham were going to make a difference this season, their performance was regrettable to everyone.
As a young man, Redknapp played for West Ham United, where he played 149 top-flight games. And scored eight goals. He then moved to Bournemouth where he played 101 games.
After retiring as a player, Redknapp was the manager of Bournemouth from the 82-83 season, where he spent ten years. He went on to head coach West Ham United, Portsmouth and Southampton before returning to Portsmouth in December 2005. He also led the team to a miraculous FA Cup title last season. During his coaching career, Redknapp played 1,006 official games and achieved a good record of 390 wins, 365 draws and 251 losses, and is considered one of the most respected coaches in England's history.
"He's Frank's uncle?" Jonk looked at Rooney in surprise, and the latter nodded, which means, you don't even know this.
Jonker really didn't know that the Tottenham Hotspur manager Redknapp Sr. was also the uncle of Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard. Hearing Rooney say this, he said in his heart that it is no wonder that in last year's European Ballon d'Or selection, Redknapp was very upset with Lampard, it turned out that the roots are here, but, to be honest, Lampard is really good, Jonk and Lampard have played against each other as opponents, and have also played together as teammates, and they still appreciate the strength of Chelsea's midfield.
A few people had dinner and chatted in the bar of the hotel where they were staying, and the conversation quickly shifted from the weekend's game against Tottenham Hotspur to the Club World Cup next week.
For the trip to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, Manchester United players are still looking forward to it, many people are still nostalgic for the Japanese woman in bed Xiàn, the little fat man seems very excited, so that Jonker has to remind Rooney to be careful, Rooney's 'prostitution' turmoil has just passed, if the reporter finds out that he is working hard in Japan, it will be enough to choke.
Thinking of the Club World Cup, Jonker thought of the figure of a charming and gorgeous woman, perhaps, not because he was going to Japan to play the Club World Cup again, Jonk had long forgotten about that female star.
The Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United match in the round of 17 of the Premier League was played a day earlier than the rest of the round due to Manchester United's trip to Japan for the Club World Cup.
In this game, Manchester United's main central defender Rio Ferdinand returned from injury, which also made Manchester United fans feel at ease about the team's backline, in the days without Ferdinand, Brown occupied a place as a central defender, however, although Brown is a veteran of Manchester United, but still can't reassure the team and fans, and occasional low-level mistakes always make people sweat for Manchester United's defense.
In addition, the attacking trident of Jonck, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney is also in good shape now, Nani is also beginning to show the potential of a superstar, and Anderson has repeatedly become Ferguson's surprise man on the bench, so it can be said that the media is generally more optimistic about Manchester United for this game, although Manchester United is an away game.
In addition, Ryan Giggs is still out due to injury. Gary. Neville won't start the game either, so. In this game, Jonker will continue to wear the captain's armband for the game. Everyone felt that from this season onwards, Manchester United were really starting to slowly enter the Jonker era.
Manchester United's away game at Tottenham Hotspur is an early fixture and will be broadcast live to England by Sky TV. And for the convenience of British fans, the time of the game is scheduled to be played in prime time in the evening, and the game will kick off at 20:25.
At this time, fans can enjoy the atmosphere at White Hart Lane with their families, or they can go to the bar to enjoy the beautiful combination of beer and games. For the fans, it's one of life's joys. Moreover, the Christmas holidays are just around the corner, and the whole British Peninsula is beginning to be in a festive mood, and you can hear the jingling of bells on the streets, which makes people feel a lot more happy.
In his pre-match press conference, the elder Redknapp said Tottenham Hotspur would give fans an unforgettable game on their home turf. He said that the team's recent results are much better than at the beginning of the season, and they strive not to 'add to the congestion' of fans when the Christmas holidays come.
Neither Ferguson nor his players took Redknapp's words to heart. Their eyes are already on this post-league Club World Cup fixture, with Manchester United keen to defend their Club World Cup title in Japan and become world champions once again, as for this clash with Tottenham Hotspur. To be honest, no one said that the opponent took it to heart. Although Tottenham Hotspur has a good player set-up, but. Their results this season are indeed not flattering, and no one is saying that Tottenham Hotspur take them too seriously.
Before the game, Tottenham Hotspur, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the fans and welcome the arrival of Christmas, said that all fans who came to watch the game would receive a Tesco shopping voucher worth 25 pounds, which was also a small gift for loyal fans in the winter of the financial crisis.
At around 18:30 in the evening, Jonker and his teammates set off from their hotel to the White Hart Lane Stadium, and when they were about to approach the stadium, a large number of fans could already be seen, and the stadium was surrounded by a sea of people, and there were many Tottenham Hotspur fans everywhere.
Seeing the Manchester United bus arrive, the home fans let out a shrill boo, they shouted at the Manchester United players, their middle fingers always up, their thumbs always down, their mouths always foul language.
In London, there are 6 Premier League clubs alone, of which Arsenal and Chelsea are giants, and Tottenham Hotspur's strength can also be regarded as very good, of course, compared to Arsenal and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur is much worse. However, when it comes to London fans, Tottenham Hotspur fans are definitely the most enthusiastic and crazy, and the atmosphere at White Hart Lane is much hotter than that at Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge.
When the Manchester United players came out to warm up, the White Hart Lane stadium was already full, and when the Manchester United players came out to warm up, the whole stadium was suddenly booed.
Jonker has long been accustomed to this situation, and Manchester United, as European champions, will be very desperate against opponents in both the Premier League and the Champions League, and they are all proud to win against the European champions.
The big screen at White Hart Lane began to play the game, and the starting lists of both teams -
Manchester United (4-3-3): Goalkeeper: Van der Sar; Defence: O'Shea, Nemanja Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Midfielders: Carrick, Park Ji-sung, Nani; Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Jonck, Rooney;
Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2): Goalkeeper: Gomez; Defence: Joel Luka, Dawson, Woodgate, Héctor; Midfielders: Zokora, Jenas, Gareth. Bell, Mordrich; Forwards: Bentley, Pavlyuchenko;
After the start of the game, perhaps the attention of the Manchester United players has already gone beyond this game to the Club World Cup, Manchester United players are obviously a little underestimated, although the team in this game is also the main force, and there is no hidden strength, but Manchester United team obviously despises Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit in this game.
After the opening, to everyone's surprise, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home, showed a strong desire to attack, and they continued to press the Manchester United goal from the beginning of the game.
The United players were clearly a little unprepared, and the team was pressed very far behind. At one point, the team was besieged by Tottenham Hotspur.
This made Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane extremely excited, and they didn't expect to see their own ball crushed by Manchester United. Right now. For the home fans, it was just one goal away.
The Tottenham Hotspur players didn't keep the home fans waiting too long. In the 11th minute of the game, the goal came.
“Gooooooooooooooooooal!! Gareth-Bell!! In the 11th minute of the game, our little monkey scored! 1:0, Tottenham Hotspur leads Manchester United!! The narrator shouted. It is estimated that no one expected that Tottenham Hotspur would be the first to score in this game, let's take a look at this goal again, (goal) is really wonderful!! ”
Gareth. Bale ran to the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the main stands with open arms to receive their cheers.
It was a clever combination from Tottenham Hotspur and Bentley's dribbling to draw the United defence into action. Just when everyone thought he was going to continue to break down the wing, Bentley cut inside down the middle and tricked Carrick into coming up to intercept and passed the ball out, and Mordridge slammed his heel into Gareth. Bale took a shot with the outside of his instep and the ball went in.
Van der Sar vs Gareth. Bale's shot was powerless, Gareth. Bale was cut in from behind at high speed, and Bentley cut inside. and Modric's heel knock to Gareth. Bale's shot was so sudden that Van der Sar didn't make any moves and watched the ball go in.
"Gareth. Bel! He is always able to score crucial goals in crucial games! Let's take a look at Ferguson's expression. He must have been annoyed that the Welsh lad had not been brought to Old Trafford. The narrator teased Ferguson.
Gareth. At the age of 16 he was regarded as one of the greatest talents in the history of Welsh football and was always used to compete with Manchester United's left-sided winger Ryan. Giggs, on the other hand, is considered the best successor to Giggs.
From an early age, Bale showed a talent for football. At the age of 9, he was sent to his satellite club by Southampton Club to train, and Bale's physique, endurance and technical level have gradually improved significantly. 05-06 in the Championship on 17.04.2006. Bale made his debut for Southampton at the age of 16 years and 275 days, against Millwall. Gareth. Bell table xiàn is remarkable.
After the failure of Southampton in the 06-07 season, the 17-year-old star, nicknamed the 'little monkey', attracted the attention of many giants, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
However, the final result surprised everyone, and in the end, it was Tottenham Hotspur who beat Manchester United, Arsenal and many other giants to add the superstar to the account for £12 million.
And last season's 07-08 Premier League season, Gareth. Bale was arguably Tottenham's biggest discovery, especially in the 156th north London derby against Arsenal, when Bale's left-footed free-kick slid across the near corner of the net in a perfect arc to the delight of Tottenham fans. After that game, Arsene Wenger admitted it was a shame he couldn't get the Welsh star.
Unexpectedly, a year later, when Tottenham Hotspur played against Manchester United, Gareth. Bale gave another famous coach who favored him a goal as a 'welcome gift'.
Ferguson is indeed a little regretful and chagrined, in his opinion, the same Welsh player, the same left-footed star, even the technical characteristics, Gareth. Bale also has the shadow of Ryan Giggs on his body, so to speak, Gareth. Bale was the successor to Ryan Giggs, who had been tailor-made for Manchester United, and when the old Scottish man first saw Bale's game, he decided to bring Gareth to the club. Bale was brought to Manchester United, but unfortunately, Bale ended up choosing Tottenham Hotspur, a north London side.
And at this moment, seeing Bale's goal also made Ferguson feel a little angry, on the one hand, because this goal was scored by Bale, who did not join Manchester United, and on the other hand, in the goal of Tottenham Hotspur, the whole team of Manchester United expressed the problem.
From Bentley's dribbling breakaway, to Modrich's heel knock, to Gareth. Gareth Bale shoots and the United players are completely led by their opponents. On the one hand, it was not able to break the ball in time, and in addition. For Gareth. There were also problems with Bale's marking, and Gareth. When Bale came up and shot. There was no one to keep an eye on them.
Manchester United, who suffered the blow of this conceded goal, woke up from a dream, and under the leadership of today's captain Jonker, they counterattacked vigorously and tried their best to equalize the score.
Jonker was quick to review himself, and he clearly didn't take the game seriously enough, and Jonk knew that he had underestimated the enemy, and in fact, the rest of the United team had underestimated him. They believe Tottenham are vulnerable. will not pose a threat to himself, but he did not expect that the game was only ten minutes into the game, and Tottenham Hotspur scored, and what was worse than the goal was that Manchester United was completely passive after the start of the game.
Jonk shouted loudly for his teammates to concentrate and take the game seriously. He knew, now. The most important thing is to score as well as you can to equalise the score, and especially not to panic if Tottenham Hotspur score another goal to extend the gap to two. That's too bad.
Manchester United began to bounce back from the blows of conceding goals and gradually got into the game, and threatening attacks continued to emerge.
17th minute. Nani crosses after a break down the flank, and Jonk chests the ball. Pad the ball with his heel to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scuffled the instep with a juggling half-turn volley. Dangling the ball towards goal, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez jumped up to save the ball. Nani's subsequent corner kick was picked up by Gomez over Rooney's head.
Manchester United's offensive is gradually picking up.
"Carrick shoots from distance! Got knocked out by Gomez! Rooney shoots again, high! ”
"Jonker, pretty, he circled Jenas, another one, and Zokora was coiled like a wooden man! Brilliant split - Patrice Evra's long-range shot! Oh my God, is this really Gomez and not Schmeichel or Buffon possessed? His watch today is simply incredible. ”
Despite United's attacking momentum and the threat of attack, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Angel Gomes was a safety lock for Tottenham's goal, holding on to the last line of defence and making incredible saves on a number of occasions.
In the 35th minute of the game, the score remained unchanged, and Tottenham Hotspur played at home 1:0 Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo flicked the ball inside with his foot, he himself ran to the other side, the ball broke through Jenas's interception, and then Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball to Nani on the wing, Nani took two steps, pulled the ball with a quick stop, dodged Joel Luca's sliding tackle, and then beat the ball and passed the ball directly to the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Jonker was entangled by Woodgate, he was just about to jump, Woodgate covertly pulled the hem of his jersey, Woodgate jumped to the top of the ball, but he did not push the ball far, but rubbed it back, rubbed to the other side of the penalty area.
Héctor rushed to the landing point of the football, he tried to clear the football big foot, the football hit Carrick's body, rebounded again, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted, he pulled the football sideways, looked at the goal, saw Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez standing a little forward, and chose to kick the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo's hanging goal was very threatening, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez did not dare to be careless, there were many people in the penalty area, he did not dare to hold the ball, and chose to knock the ball out of the penalty area with one fist.
However, the ball did not hit far and landed on the line of the penalty area, Park Ji-sung got the ball, he stopped the ball with his chest, however, the next second, he was knocked down by Jenas, the football fell to Nani's feet, referee Phillips did not blow the whistle in his mouth, he saw Nani get the ball, signaled that the attack was favorable, and the game continued.
Nani unloaded the ball and scrambled before Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Modric tackled, and slashed his foot into a long-range shot!
However, Nani's shot did not hit the power, the ball bounced against the turf and rolled towards the goal, Gomez was ready to save the ball, his body was pressed very low, this kind of non-threatening long-range shot, for the goalkeeper, there is no shooting threat.
Just when Gomez and Tottenham Hotspur players and the home fans in the stands thought that the goal would be guaranteed to Gomez, the unexpected happened.
In the crowd in the penalty area, Jonker suddenly stretched out his right leg, stretched out the football that was still rolling on the ground, and then pulled the football to the other side with the arch of his foot, and the next step, he caught up with the football himself, raised his head, looked at the goal, raised his toes, and the football was off the ground in front of his foot, spinning towards the goal.
Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Dawson, who was responsible for defending Jonker, was completely unable to keep out of the line, he didn't expect Jonk to suddenly come up and block the ball in the path of the ball's shot, and finish it beautifully. (To be continued......)
